The subject of the preacher is given here as "the gospel, or good news, of the kingdom"; :,nd this introduces one of the col -ninon words of the New Testament. The term, "kingdom of heaven," or "the kingdom of God,". occurs very frequently in the four gos- pels, though it is found very seldom in the rest of the New Testament, It occurs in the Old Testament, and means the sovereignty or rule of God. Jesus takes a term that wa's known to the people of his time, and gradually reads new meaning into it. V. 24. It was no wonder that the fame of this preacher spread quickly through the land, especially when we think of these marvelous cures which he wrought on the sick, We should notice in this verse the great variety of his miracles, and recognie the fact that the healing • of the siek was a distinctive part of the work of Jesus. In this the church has tried to follow his example, in the founding of hospi- tals, and inall the efforts to care for the necessities of the body. V. 25. This verse shows the extent of his mission, including, not only Galilee, but the lands that lay both south and east. A French View r of.

THE CALL OF THE FIRST DISCIPLE,, 17-22. V. 17. This call of the disciples is a matter of great significanee.'There are four accounts of this call in the gospels, and all agree in showing that this was one of the first things to which Jesus gave his attention. The evidence for this discipleship is very full• He felt the need ofhaving help- ers who would come to know tum per- sonally, who could lec.im of the true nature' of histeaching, and to whom he could entrust the future of his kingdom. It is only it the case of great men that we find disciples. Ordinary people do not have followers. Jesus gave a great deal of his time to the training of the band f intimate followers., He took them with hien wherever he went, and acted like a teacher to them. The four here men- tioned Belonged to the: o:dinary folk. They were fishermen, who earned their living with physical toil, They were resourceful and courageous, and the result justified the choice of Jesus. We may be astonished tbat he did not call men of more influence, who had wealth and fame, but perhaps this class was not willing to come after Jesus and only a few rich men joined his cause. V. 19. Jesus does not shrink from asking these men • to give up their calling. In fact, there was no sacrifice that Jesus would not ask his disciples to make, if necessary. He demanded, of all those who were to follow hini, that they should take up ,heir' cross and follow. Jesus did not a:.pest them to do this with any recompense; for he held out to them a much finer kind of life than that which they were giving up. They were to be fishers of men, and were, therefore, to be concerned with a much nobler and more interesting duty.

In . spite of his evolutions, Stresemann remained absolutely himself, but he did have the merit, though he was a former Imperialist, to understand that the policy of resisting the peace treaty, the policy cf revenge, bad. 00 chance of proving useful to his country. _ --. — V. 20. The response is immediate. There seems to be a capacity for sacri- fice in our nature, which is one of our noblest qualities. Every age tells us of the many men and women who have urrendered wealth and comfort to follow the call of. Jesus into the most. remote and difficult work. V. 21. These four men formed the' fleet group of the Twelve, and they continued to have the first place in the development of the church. V. 22. Perhaps we can understand the immediate acceptance better if we read John 1: 85. II, THE BEGINNING OF THE MISSION, 23-25. V. 23. A most comprehensive verse, giving an outline of the work of Jesus. We picture the active movements of Jesus and his "disciples as they go from place to place in Galilee. They go first to the mown near the Lake of Galilee, then they go to the village in the interior, and ,afterwards make longer trips, always returning to Capernaum. In each village there was a' synagogue. This was the meeting place of the Jews, and it was built in some conspicuous place, on the hill- top, or beside a river. It was the most important building of the village, like the church today in some countries. Here services were held every Sab- bath, and also on two week -days. There was the reading of the Old Testament, and exposition. The syna- gogue was also a school for the chil- dren, where they learned 11 read and write, and to know the law. Success London Daily News (Lib.): (Mr. Snowden saysthat no man succeeds who never takes the opportunities offered 'him; and the unlucky man. cannot be a successful man.). Can mere "leek"—whatever it may be— make a man successful? It may float a pure meriocrity to great place and even apparent power. But if he is only a mediocrity he will not long retain the place, and he will never be able to really exercise the power. Has he then "succeeded?" Again, the -successful man must take hie oppor- tunities; yes, but more often than not he must make them, too. The Root Protocol New York Sun: Whether the' proto- col is kept in camphor for a year, or five years, its opponente will be It was natural that Jesus should go first to these places of religious influ- ence, and he never neglected the ser- vices in these places. We are told in Luke, eh. 4, of the time when he went to the synagogue in Nazareth, where he had been brought up, but we have no account of a full sermon preached in the. synagogue. Most of the ser- mons reported were delivered out-of- doors, His work is divided into teaching and preaching.

Carolist Campaign Quickly Quashed Rumania Government Uses Force to Stop issue of Newspaper Bucharest, Rumania.—The Govern- ment used force Sunday night to quash a campaign for the return of Prince Carol, father of the boy king, Michael. Under orders from the Minister of War, after reading the country edition of the Carolist newspaper Cuventul, the type was broken, which made im- possible the printing of a city edition. Earlier the septi -official newspaper La Nation Roumaine published an of- ficial communique denouncing the Cu- ventul campaign for Carols return, saying it was against Carol's own in- terests. The government headed by Premier Mania will never permit Carol to cone back from Paris, where he lives with Madame Magda Lupeseu, the com- munique said. Neither will Maniu al- low any alteration of the present throne law. Cuventul had asserted the country wished Carol to return and assume the throne, rights to which he re- nounced far his mistress. - the white man in icy lands where the latter cannot live long. Those who have been associated with the Eskimo longest say civilize- tion, nncurbed, will do one of three things to hint: absorb bins, kill him, or drive him northward. Hope Seen In Education They are confident, however, that something can be done to help the Eskimo save himself. Education, they believe, will develop in his hap- py-go•Ineky mind a sense of provid- ence which will enable him to look after bis future food supply and to treat his personal property less reck- lessly. Medical service, they think, will save him from the disease he seems bound to contract in settled dis- tricts, while hie own predisposition to health will cave him when lite Is tar away from the white man.

To Keep the '. oys Horne on the F,.;.rm Ontario Gives Farmers Cheap Power to End Drift to Cities Tel:onto.-Electricity is being put to work on the farms of Ontario. 'To supply farmers only, 1,157 miles of transmission lines were built during the last year by the Ontario Hydro Commission at a cost of $2,050,000, This year the expansion program calls for 2,000 miles. Rates for farmers, already reduced by the government, are to be still. further cut in an endeavor to put elec- tricity on every concession in the thickly settled parts of old Ontario. The government contends that elec• tricity, more than any other factor, is offsetting the tendency to drift from Drastic Action Needed to Save Canadian Oyster "If something drastic is not done about the Canadian oyster fishery it wit soon cease to be of any Import- ance,' said J. A. Paul n's, former pre- sident of the Canadian Fisheries' As- sociation, and one of the leading wholesale flab merchants of Montreal, when asked what be considered to be the major problems of the fisheries of eastern Canada. "Canada's oyster production is hardly one-fourth what it was, years ago, and the quality` of Canadian oys- ters we get in this market grows less satisfactory," Mr. Paulhus. added, "Of course, it has been said before, even before the war, that the industry was declining and threatened with ruin. Some efforts have been made ±0 save it by replanting some beds and en- forcing closer• restrictions on: fishing, but these have not been successful. The production grows less, and the product sent to this market in the last few years have not helped the reputation of the Canadian oyster, Only the superior reputation of the Canadian oyster inherited from the past has kept it on themarket at all. And the producers apparently don't think' their business is worth keeping alive, as they send all sizes of shell oysters in the same barrel, and the dealer never knows just what be is getting. U. S. Oyster Producers "The American oyster producers are taking possession of this market and going the right way about it. If you went into a Ieading hotel le Montreal to -day I doubt if you could get a Canadidn oyster, The hotel trade, an important trade, has been lost to the Canadian oysters, because when the chefs order American oys- ters they know just abet they are getting.

The attached bloomers' are made either with closed knee or finished with bands. New Rayons To meet the strain upon undergar- ments caused -by the closer fitting. and longer skirts, the manufacturers have this year made a special nonrun cloth in rayon, guaranteed: not to "ladder. The goods is pleasing tq the touch, and is finer and eater in finish than rayon underwear as orig- inally introduced to the consumer. At the same time, It is, of course, rea- sonable in price This line is made both in a bloomer model and in a pantie with cuffs. In each case there is a close -fitting yoke at the waist. A separate bandeau completes the two-piece set. A spe- cial garment in the same material is the jumbo" bloomer for very largo women, while by contrast there are the children's bloomer and vest, be- sides a union suit. Another new superfine product, the result of the manufacturer's contin- ued ontinued endeavors to give to women a line garment at the lowest price it could be made, is a rayon refined to silk -like delicacy. More, it is said to be the only rayon on the market that, is made on a sills machine, and pro- duced by the same workmen whe make the silk garments.

Ornamental Patches The writer had a pair of black satin evening slippers which were perfectly good except for worn places near the toes and on either aide of the vamps where the surface had brushed off, leaving dull spots. To conceal these effects and to make the slippers suitable to wear with a gold- en colored frock, a yard•of heavy gold metal lace was bought, which had a design easy to cut out and use as an applique. These applique patterns were placed in positions completely to cover the vamps, • the original black satin merely showing through between the lace. The sewing had to be carefully done, but the result was entirely satisfactory The slippers did riot Iook repaired, but were quite elegant. Australia Closes the Door Dublin Irish Times' Scullin has proclaimed publicly that Australia cannot take any more Britons. This move is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that successive Gov- ernments in the Commonwealth have insisted time and again that a "White" Australia is the aim of every citizen. The suggestion now that the Commonwealth cannot absorb 9,000. settlers per annum indicates that Australia is in a bad way; but the consensus of opinion seems to be that Mr. Scullin has exaggerated the country's condition.

The average consumer nowadays seldom tastes a succulent Canaille') oyster, and few ask for them, Politics in the Way "The trouble is at the producing end and politics stand in the way of the development of oyster fisheries on a business basis. There is con- flict of jurisdiction between the Fed- eral and Provincial authority. A man may go to the Go c' nment of New Brunswick and obs .':: a lease of bot- toms suitable for sae cultivation on the understanae 4 that he will plant s0 many ns ma year on beds that have br -:•depleted. It might be tbought that that man when his oys- ter ranch had become ripe to take off a crop would be allowed to decide when he should dredge his surplus oyster and offer them on the market. But no. The Federal Government fixes the fishing season, necessarily short, if all the public beds are not to be depleted right off; and the pri- vate oyster ranches has to dump bis crop on a glutted market at sacrifice prices in competition with dredgers of public beds, who have made no capital investment. Most, if not all, the attempts to establieb oyster ranches off the shores of New Brims - wick have been failures, P.E.I. Farmers Own Ocean "In Prince Edward Island under some old law or custom the farmers, who are usually fishermen at certain seasons, claim the right to fish for oysters in waters lying off the fore- shore of their farms.

Other panties were separate and had close -fitting yoke tops, with separate bandeau In finest woven silks, soft and clinging to the touch.
