THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, OCTOBER 27. Le9sot1 IV.-Wsint ,'rin gs in Deca- polis, Mark 7. 31: 10 S. 10. Gol- den text, Mark 7. 37. 7:,31-37. Verse 31. Through Sidon unto the sea -Jesus and his disciples passed out of the district about Tyre, going northward into that about Sidon. Then; turning east ward and southward, they made a detour which finally brought them into the region of Decapolis south- east of the Lake of Galilee. It is quite probable'that from Sidon they traveled for some distance on .the Damascus road, which leads east- ward over the hills and across the' Lenotes River. 32. They bring unto him - The'. reception awarded Jesus by the in- habitants of Decapolis on this oc- casion was quite different from that. of his last visit to the eastern shore of the lake, when, because of the excitement resulting from the heal- ing of the demoniac, they urged him to depart quickly from their borders (Mark 5. 17). An impediment in his -speech- The man was not only deaf, but partially dumb, a condition which may have resulted from hie deaf- ness. Lay his hand upon him -Simply another way of requesting ,Jesus to heal •him. There are many in- stances in the Bible' of healing through prayer accompanied by laying on of hands. 33. Took him aside -This was for a two -fold purpose -first, as the man could not hear or speak intel- ligently, it was necessary for. Jesus to secure his attention that he might know what was being done for him ; secondly there were un- usual reasons for desiring secrecy. Tho object of the'tour was retire- ment and special , fellowship with the disciples. Put his fingers into his ears -Ra- ther, thrust them in, as a sign to the man that Jesus intended to heal him so that he could exercise faith and thereby have a personal part in this healing. He spat -A second sign designed to' arouse the man's faith. It was thought that spittle possessed me- dical virtue, and magical incanta- tions often accompanied its use. In this instance, however, it was simp- ly the medium through which Jesus imparted healing, 34. Looking up to heaven, he sighed -Better, he groaned. The look heavenward was to inform him of the source'of power which would effect his healing. Ephphatha The actual Greek word which Jesus spoke to the man, tho opening of whose organs would make him sensitive to sound and recover his speech. 35.

Beyond'measure astonished Literally, they were struck out of their senses. 8. 1-10. Verse 1. Again a great multitude -This carries with it the inference that there was .a second occasion when Jesus fed the multitude. In- aernuch as the feeding of the four thousand is recorded by Matthew and' Mark only, and the feeding' of the five thousand is recorded in all the Gospels, spine have thought that there was only one such occur- rence concerning which Matthew and Mark give two accounts. How-: ever, a correct understanding of Jesus's motive in performing mir- aeles, which was &ret of all to meet human need, easily makes way for two similar miracles which grew out of the need of the multitude in the desert places on two distinct occasions. A careful reading of the two narratives reveals a num ber of points of difference between them. (Compare Mark 0. 30-44.) 2. Continue with me now three days -A sufficiently long time to ex- haust their supply of food. 4. Whence shall one be able to fill these -This in general is the same sort of question which the dis- ciples asked on the former occa- sion, and is proof of their stupidity and forgetfulness. The emphasis in the first instance is on the amount necessary to supply sufficient quan- tity of food, while here it is on the incredibility of being able to se- cure a sufficient quantity in the desert region. 8. Sit down on the ground -The highly picturesque details of the narrative of the feeding of the five thousand are lacking here. (Com- pare Mark 6. 39). 8. Seven baskets -On the former occasion there were twelve. The basket was a sort of hamper, plaited of reed or rope, such as was used to lower Paul "down through the wall" at Damascus (Acts 9. 26). 9. About four thousand -Matthew (15. 38) adds, "Besides women and children." (Compare Matt. 14. 21). 10. Dalmanutha-Ae this place is not mentioned elsewhere, its loca- tion is uncertain. Probably it was a small village near . Magdala, on the west shore of the lake, in the southern part of the plain of Gen- nesaret. 4 THE CA.'117'LE EIIBARGO. Pressure Being Brought to Bear on British Government. A despatch from London says: The Canadian Cattle Importation Association is exerting every ef- fort to bring pressure upon mem- bers of the Government hero tvith a view to the removal, of what is deemed to be an unjustifiable em- bargo on Canadian store cattle to British ports. Various chambers of Commerce throughout the country are being invited to appoint two of their most influential members to become delegates e ates in a strongU ng depu- tation 1- tation which is to go before the House of Commons at the earliest possible moment. Some currency hos been given to a report that the Dominion needs all its present supplies for its own use, and that exportation is out of the question. It is therefore felt that a pro- nouncement on the subject would. be of material assistance. NEWS OF DEATH WITII 1IODY. Parents Were Bereaved When Cof- fin Was Delivered.

THE USELESSNESS OF WORRY The Harm it Works, the Lives it Shortens, the Suicides it Causes, Cannot be Estimated. St. Matthew vi., 34 :-Take ne 'thought for the morrow. These words are, of course, not meant to, encourage indifference, imprudence, shiftlessness and sloth, nee are they meant to forbid a right use of man's God given powers of judgment, prudence .and foresight. The Greek woad, here translated "Take no thought," might in this context better be rendered, ae the revisers have it, "Be not anxious." This' is in line with sound reason and with our Lord's whole attitude toward mankind, whom he always endeavored to arouse to the point of taking some serious thought about themselves, their duties, their problems,e'their destiny. But, lest they should overdo His counsel along this line and "THINK TOO MUCH," Iest they should, so to speak, allow their thought to run to seed and take the form of anxious care about the future, He throws in this cau- tion, "Be not anxious concerning the morrow." Never was there a people and never an ago that seemed so much in need of the practice of this pre- cept as we of this twentieth cen- tury: But how is it to be abolished? First, by bringing a common sense philosophy to bear and realiz- ing to the full extent of our being its utter uselessness, to say nothing of its harmfulness. Make a rule never to worry about what you can't help,. for it will do no,good, and never to worry about what you can help, but instead topitch in and do something. But our Lord'± cure for worry gees dce;ier than this. Ho bids us overcome it by practising the oppo- site' 'virtue -faith. Have faith enough in God. He says, to believe' that He who has given you life will provide also the necessaries though not always the luxuries to sustain it. And have faith enough in man to believe him wor- thy tobe an, objectt of God's fath- erly care and solicitude. In other words, Christ bids us believe' not only in the general providence of God, but in His INDIVIDUAL PROVIDENCE.. We need to assure ourselves, not only that He cares for all mankind, but that He cares for us as indi- viduals. The very hairs of our. heads are numbered. He knows us all by our names. He cares for me. If we can let that truth sink into our souls.. worry will never itaseil, us. Practice what some one has sug- gestively called the "sunset limit." Close up the books each night and do not carry over the troubles of the day past nor enter those of the day to come. If we could only ao- quire this habit of living by the day, how much happier we all should be I -Rev. George. Ashton Oldham. CROPS BADLY HURT BY RAIN Disastrous Wet Weather Prevailed in Quebec, On- tario and Manitoba. A despatch from Ottawa says: A bulletin issued on Wednesday by the Census and Statistics Office covers the crop conditions in Can- ada for the month ended Sept8m- bee 20. It states that during this month disastrously wet weather continued to prevail over most parts of Canada, especially over the Provinces of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba, At September 30 large areas of grain, both in the East and West, were still either un cut or were exposed to the wet in stook. Much damage has been caused bysprouting, nc p g, a i in the North -W t ca Provinces second growth has in numerous instances caused uneven ripening and conse- quent lowering of grade. Frosts during September in those provin- ces did some damage, bet as a rule only late -,sown crops, including fax, were seriously affected. In parts of Southern Ontario the ground is so wet that many farmers have alianclonecl tlse'sowing of Fall wheat for next year. The estimates of yield published a month ago could only be regard- ed as of preliminary value, because in consequence of the had weather and late Beason harvesting' opera- tions had made so little progress. The new estimates of yield ob- tained frown correspondents at the end of September confirm general- ly the previous 'estimates for most of the crops, but inasmuch as very a little threshing' had been possible and large areas of grain were still unharvested, it is feared that the final estimates after completion of the threshing may turn out lower than the figures now given. For Spring wheat the estimated production is 188,816,000 bushels, as compared with 189,904,500 'bushels, last year:. Fos Fall wheat the "es- timate is 16,865,700 bushels, "com- pared with 26,014,000 bushels last year, the total estimated wheat production being therefore 205,685,- 300 bushels, as compared with 215,- 918,500 bushels in 1911, a decrease of 5 per cent The yield per acre is 21.08 bushels for all wheat, as aggainst 20.77 bushels last year. Oats snow a total production Of 331,509,- 000 bushels, compared with 348,. 585,600 bushels '.last year, the yield per acre being 41.39 bushels, cont-. parocl with 37.75. Barley is esti- mated to yield n total of 43,895,100. bushels,' compared with 40,631,000 bushels last year, the yield being 31,00 bushels per acre, against e The total production of rye o is g'Fil3,- 086,01]Llslrels, ttlt 5,6('8.500 bushe00ls. in '1911,''the yieldss per acre being 20.75 and: 17,41 bushels re- spectively. Of oats, barley and rye increases in total production as compared with last year represent percentages of 0.8 and 15, The'es- timated production of peas is 4,209 400 bnshels, beans 1,706,800 bushels, of buckwheat 10,924,100 bushels/ of flaxseed 21,143,400 bushels, of mixed groins 17,940,900 bushels, and of corn for husking 14,218;000 bnwlte1S. The avesago gtality of these crops at harvest time measured 011 On a per cent. basis of 100 as rep- resenting grain well headed, well filled, well saved, and unaffected to any appreciably extent by frost, rust, smut, etc., is as follows Spring wheat, 83.70; oats, 86.01; barley, 84.48; rye, 80,82; peas, 68.- 41 ; beans, 88.81; buckwheat, 80.87; mixed grains,. 90.50; flaxseed, 83.86, and corn for husking, 71.92 per cent. Of these crops wheat, oats, barley, and flaxseed are above, while peas, beans, and cern for husking are below the average qua- lity for either of the two previous years, Rye is slightly below the average. Flax is well above the quality of both 1011 (75 per cent.) and 1910 (73 per cent.). Root crops 'continue to show ex- cellent figures as representing av- erage condition during growth. The • highest are potatoes, 90.12, per cent., and the lowest corn for fed - der, 80:63 per cent., the last named crop has improved by over 4 points during the month.
