INTRPDUCTICN—The aspect of the
Work of Jesus the Son of God, which
now comes before es turns my his
extraordinary power of dnstjliine
faith into the souls of men, and, on
the part which this faith played in the
events which his power pi•oducede
Faith in one or other of its aspects
comes before un; in vs. 22, '28, where
Jaime makes his 'request to Jesus; in
vs,• 27, 28 where the -sink 'nbn-Jan
touches hie clothes; in vs. 33, 34,
where the same woman confesses to
her act, and Jesus says, "Daugh ter,
thy faith hath made thee whole," and
in v. $6, where Jesus encourages
Jairus to believe despite the sorrowful
news from his home. We have seen
before that the help of Jesus was,
rendered flowerless through human
leek of faith. Here wo have memor-
able instances of the contrary.
Jesus appears in this lesson as,
spite of the nation's 'unbelief and in-
gratitude, the Great Physician of his
people, the sympathetic Saviour. The
incidents chosen reveal powerfully
that there must be trust in him and
obedience to hint if he is to be our
Saviour. It le not a case of Christ
refusing his help because there ds no
faith, The truth is rather that he
cannot help where there ier not a
trustful disposition. His spirit can-
not work on ours if ours is not sur-
rendered to him. Even the Son of
.God is powerless if we set our wills
against 'frim.
V. 22. As Jairus Is named as one
of the presiiients of the synagogue,
'wo may assume drat he was a man of
good education and of high standing
in his own religious communion. The
fact of such a man conning to Jens
at •a tame when the religious author-
ities had declared .against him is a
sign of his faith. The same quality
comes out in his falling at Jseus' feet

Vs, 24-27. Jesus at once sets out to
go with Jairus, and he is on the way'
when an extraordinary incident oc-
curs. The fact of his being occupied
with Jairus' case does not prevent an -I
other sufferer from snatching a cure
by the way. A woman, suffering from
a dietreseing complaint, comes behind

She feel, that among the crowds fol- Z.
towhee Jesus, her furtive act and. her

Her faith is plain by many circum-
stances: (1) she had suffered for
-twelve years, yet still hoped for better-
ment (2) she had tried all the doctors
in rain, yet still hoped in Jesus; (3)
she had grown worse as time went on,
yet rot even now despaired. To all
this must be added (4) the unquestion-
ing wav in which she expressed her-
self: "If I may touch but his clothes
I shall he well."
Vs 32 33 It shows stow sensitive
our Lord was to the touch of the hu-
man spirit that he was at once aware
of the woman's sc tc•t act. It vexed
him that the. poor eufferer shoal

by an individualizing love which
singles out all its recipients for spe-
cial, jersonal blessing. Hence the re-
cipient of his healing here has to

Methods of Feeding 'Meal to Plias
That it pays to give plgs warm
feed in cold weather was shown in a
test made at' the Kentville, Nova
Scotia, 'Experimental Station. The
Pigs were divided into four lots as:
equal iu-weght as possible. Each lot
received an equal quantity of meal,
roots, and milk, and had access to
water as required, The methods of
feeding the meal, however, were di1;-
forma for each lot. Lot 1 received
meal fed dry and lot 2, meal in water
slop fed cold, Meal soaked from
one feed to the next was fed cold to
lot 3 and warm to lot 4. The lot
fed, dry meal did not do so well as the
three lots fed slop. Lot 4 did best,
more triable. Fresh manure is also indicating that for col weather warm-
preferable for crops which have a 'trig the feed is profitable. (Issued by

of many vegetables seen as tomatoes,

few beets, carrots, and hi11e of corn.
Starting these indoors will materially
hasten the time when they will be

Making the Hot Bed.
Where one has a larger garden and
wants to get off to an early start, it
is better to build a hot bed than to
try and grow the early plants indoors.
Secure a supply of fresh horse manure
which has been turned every day or
so to prevent burning, and store that
in some sheltdred spot until ready to
use. Tho' hot bed should bo located
where it will be convenient for the
attendant, and it must be protected
from north and.west winds by fenoes,
buildings, or shrubbery. Make a like
of the manure eighteen inches deep,
and be sura itis well pressed down,
It drainage is good, a hole may he dug
and the manure placed in this. Ott
top of the manure place a light frame
at wood any desired size and cover
tightly with a window sash,' sloping
this a few inehee towards the front,
which must be south. Cover the man-
ure with three or four inches of fine
soil. The bed will heat up rapidly at
first, but by the fourth day will have
cooled' down sufficiently to allow
planting. In cold weather water spar-
ingly and only on bright days. Venti-
late a little every, day by raising the
sash, keeping this open longer as the
days grow warmer. Plants (Mould, be
transplanted onoe, and hardened off
in a cold frame, which is similar to
the hot bed only without the manure,
before being sot outside.

Its area being less than 1,860 square
miles, and as ranch of this area is tak-
en up with ."plaesen" (little lakes aha

striated, :and numbers at a generous
reckoning something trite 400,000
souls. Yet this,. little province is worts

its own language, a language that is
.as•pure Anglo-Saxon; as any, in the.
world, possibly purer than moat.

ten, who was a member both of the
Second Chamber of the States Gen-
eral and of the Provincial Council ot
Friesland as long ago as 1918, en•
deavorsd to address the latter in the
Frisian language.

Not being allowed to do so, he re-
venged himself and his tongue by in-
viting the other members to a con-
gress which Was just about to be held,
and before largely attended gathers.
Inge spoke that language and that
language alone. Another politician,
Pieter Telles Troelstra, the leader of
the Socialist party -in Ilelland, is also
a Frisian aad an enthusiast for the
language, and is moreover a poet who,
like "Bobby Burns, prefers his own
dialect to the formal language which
he has to speak and write for official
purposes.

increasing its meager grant of 509
florins made to the "Selskip" to 7,500
florins, on the condition that courses
shall be •established to teaching the
language to young autl old. This is a
great opportunity for Dr. Wumkos

matter has been discussed and details
are being rapidly arranged, Dr.
Wumkes has issued a statement for
the benefit of all concerned in which
a scheme of lessons Is set out, includ-
ing "master" courses, courses for
teachers, for those in training as
teachers, for gymnasia and high
schools and for children in the prim-
ary schools.
He also proposes the formation. of a

object of promoting Frieten educe-,
