LOSSOR VI. A troubled pea and a
- troubled soul. 51erk 4.85 to 5.20. ,
Golden. Text, Psa. 46. 1, 2.
Verse 35. On that day -The par-
ticular afternoon of the day On
'Which Jesus sat in a boat and
taught the multitudes in parables.
Unlike Luke (8. 22), Mark assediates
the events so that he remembers the
very day.
The other side. - The eastern
shore of the lake, about opposite
Capernaum,
• 37. Storni of wind -Greek, a
great squall. Matthew calls it a
"tempest" (8. 24).
38, The cushion -On the helms-
man's seat. •The mention of the
cushion and other little boats indi-
cates the careful detail of Mark's
narrative.
39. Peace, be still -Silence, be
muzzled, We addresses the waves
as though 'speaking to an unruly
ox. The Greek word carries with
it not only the meaning that the
sea should become. quiet, but also
that it should remain so.
A great ealm-"In centrest with
the great storm."
40. Have ye not yet faith i -This
question seems to indicate the prin-
cipal lesson which the incident is
intended to teach. In view of all
the preceding miracles it would
seem that these men, who had been
intimately associated with Josue,
should have been confident of his
power and disposition to care for
then', yet the incident discloses a
woeful lack of faith. The startled
appeal to their sleeping Master be-
speaks the distrust which possessed
tbem when confronted with danger.
The stilling of the storm is one
more incident added to the long list
of miracles which were designed to
inspire the disciples with a constant
faith in Jesus as the master of every
situation.
41. Feared exceedingly -At first
on account of their danger, later
because of the mysterious power
which Jesus exercised.
Even the wind and the sea obey
hint -Recorded in all three synop-
tic Gospels, indicating the marked
impression made, that not only
were disease and demons subject to
Jesus, but the natural elements as
well.
51. Gerresenes-Luke 8. 26 gives
this rendering, while Matthew 8.
28 reads Gadarenes. The city Ger-
sa, or Kersa from which the proper
noun Gera,sones is derived, was
situated on the eastern side of the
lake, about midway from north to
south, and about a roile from the
shore. The shore at the point op-
posite is narrow and steep, drop-
ping abruptly fromsthe high table-
land to the water's edge. Here
there is another heap of ruins de-
signated by the same name. The
proper noun Gaclarenes, on the
other hand, comes from Gaelara, a
city six miles southeast of the lake
and south of the Hieroma,x or Yar-
muk gorge. Gadara was fortified
in ancient times and was one of
the principal cities of Decapolis.
Compare verse 20. Because of its
importance it was known more
widely outside of Palestine than
was Germ, and this fact may have
led to the substitution of Gado, -
renes for Gerasenes by some an-
cient eopyists. When we remmeber
how often the manuscripts of our
Gospels were copied and recopied
during the many centuries preceding
the invention of printing, the won-
der is that more copyist's errors of
this kind than actually do occur are
not found in the Gospels.
2. Straightway -A 001/1111on word
in Mark's rapid sketch of events.
Tombs -Caves in the limestone
cliffs in the vicinity of Gersa.
A man -Matthew mentions two.
Luke, however, mentions only one.
It is not improbable thee there were
twe of whom one was the fiercer
and acted as spokesman.
Unclean spirit -Compare Lesson
Text Studies for March 10 for note
on Demon Possession.
6. Worshiped him -Paid him rev-
erence. This wasan act of obei-
same which (lid not necessarily
amount to the worship of deity, but
Wail a common means by which one
person acknowledged the superior-
ity of another. The demons clearly
recognized the mastery of Jessis

could affect industrial companies in many
ways. Pulp and timber companies by
fire could conceivably be wiped out. Floods
might destroy mills, though this possibly

TIJRNING SORROW INTO JOY
It• is the Discovery and Realization of the Truth
• Which Brings This to Pass
And ye shall be sorrowful hut
your sorrow shall he turned into
oy.-John, xvi.,'20.
We seldom think of serroWs nt
blessings, although many of our
joys are but transmuted sorrows,
Moral and spiritual values are
learned only through the diseipline
of sorrow, just as 'discriminating
v sion is attained only by means of
darkness and shadows, Some sor-
rows are the product of a morbid
temperament,and a brooding imagi-
nation and are as purely artifikial
as the fog in a kitchen from a boil-
ing tea kettle. A cool breeze dis-
pels the one and 'common sense will
cure the other,
Sorrows are the emotions whidh
arise when we contemplate the fail-
ure ef elieriehed hopes and expecta-
tions, as miasma rises from the
deadness and decay of summer's
beautiful foliage, brought low by
the windand rains of autumn. And
yet, out of this dere of vital nutri-
ment many a seed and plant blinds
up new life, transforming death
and decay into
LIFE AND BEAUTY.
In like manner, truth finds lodg-
ment in the heart, absorbing the
vital forces from ruined hopes and
expectations, and turns the emo-
tions of sorrow into those of joy.
The enchantment of nature's laws,
which turns the bitterness of the
root and its environment into the
sweetness of the fruit, is outrivalled
by the higher laws of truth and
grace which turn the bitterness of
sorrow into joy.
Ignorance and indifference to
truth are continually producing
great harvest:a of Sorrow in the lives
of mankind, as ignorance and ne-
glect on the fernier part produce

takes and sorrows may also make
fuller and better the true and last-
ing joy.
, Truth and loyalty to it are the
two forces which govern the destiny
of man, The more of truth we
grasp and the more thoroughly W8
Obe7 it the larger our realization
of life and joy,
SHALLOW GUESSES
at great truths mean the turning of
brief joys into sorrows, as surely as
surface springs dry up in early sum-
mer. Deep and earliest pursuit of
truth will lead to fountains of light
and joy which fail not, even as the
deep cleft rock sends forth perpet-
ual refreshment.
Most of all vvill the religious life
turn sorrow into jese because reli-
gion. after all, is •simply a great
passion for truth and an equal pas-
sion for its realization. Anything
less than this is not worthy the
name of religion. Obedience to the
truth will, step by step, turn our
sorrows, born of ignorance and im-
perfections, into enduring jeys.
Truth will dissolve the very lest
shadow, and we shall behold the
Author of Truth Himself, and "the
mystery of God shall be finished,"
and our final sorrow shall be turned
into our greatest joy, for "eleatil
shall be swallowed up in victory."

INTERESTING BITS OF GOSSIP FROM
THE QUEEN CITY.
The World's Walking Champion -Liberals
In New Ontario -Yacht Races -Thi
Glty's many Parks.
Cynical critics of the Toronto street care
attach great significance to the fact that
the one lone world's ohampionship To-
ronto secured at the Olympic Games was
that for walking. But that eingle cham-
pionship was very much worth while.
Walking may not be eonsidered much of a
sport, or even an exeroiso, but it ie very
much of both, as George Goulding,
world's champion, walks. •Prom the mo-
ment he strikes hie pane every muscle in
his body seems to be In motion -his hande,
arms and body all seem to be helping his
lege along. Not that he has the ungainly
pump -handle jerkiness which some walle
ere think gives them speed, for hie mo-
tions are every one graceful and he movie
forward with a speed that is impreesive,

'satisfactory to know that dethendehte of

from poverty; for the property, if put on

ous sum.
High Park is traversed by a. network
of roadways, and has been spoiled to
many citizens in recent years by the telr
vent of motor cars, which make the wind.

world hal' seen. And that's something
for Toronto to be proud of. No wonder
it gave him a NYUTIU welcome home.
SOME POLITICAL AMENITIES.
The idea of a leader of the Oppoeition
taking his whole party on a trip through
New Ontario was a novel one, and Mr.
Rowell has been receiving a, good deal
of non-partisan praise for conceiving and
currying out hie dog -day jaunt. To take
116 representative old Ontario citizens,
even if they are vote -bunting, into New
Ontario, cannot help but be good ter
both Old and New Ontario. The govern.

TORONTO SPREADS WESTWARD.
There are many people living who re.

One of the latest diecoveries of
the eynthetic chemists is how to
make ivory out of nothing more
wonderful than. cow's milk-aed
very good ivory at that, according
to all accounts, The original idea,
wail to use the nesv "ivory" for
piano and organ keys becauae it
preserves its original color indefi-
nitely, whereas the genuine article
turns yellow after a time. But it
has been found that the new pro-
duct is not only an efficient substi-
tute for ivory, but can easily be
prepared so as to take the piece of
ember, horn, corA celluloid, and
sueh-like products, and, it is claim-
ed, can hardly be distinguished
from them, It is in its position as a
substitete for ivory that the new
material has caused most surprise,
however, because it bas the appear-
ance of being another instance. of
improving upon Nature. The new
ivory takes a very high and lasting
polish, and will probably not lack a
commercial field for itself, as nat-
ural ivory continuos to grow -
scarcer and dearer year by year.
