Place.—The Sea of Galilee and Gergesa, on the eastern shore. THE STILLING OF THE STORM. And on that day. The day when Christ, teaching by the seashore, in- augurated his plan of teaching by parables, as related in our last two lessons. When even was come. Our Lord had had a long, . hard day's work, and was weary; so he propos- ed a plan for rest. He saith punto them, To his twelve disciples. ` Let us go over unto the other side. They were on the western side of the Sea of Galilee, and he proposed that they cross to the eastern .side, where he would be free from the crowd at- tracted by his teaching. Thus not on- ly would be obtain a little relaxation, but he would give his hearers time to think over what he had told them, the mental' review which fixes know- ledge and is essential, to all progress. And leaving the multitude. As he was leaving them, a scribe desired to join his company of disciples, but was warned of the hardships involv- ed; and two others expressed the same desire, but wished to put off the actual step, the one to bury his dead father . and the other to *say god -bye to his family; but Christ, seeing their shallowness, told them that discipleship was not to be post- poned (see Matt. 8: 1922; Luke 9:' 57-62). They take him with ` him, ev- en as he was. Our Lord. exemplified. what he had just been saying to the three applicants: he went away with- out stopping to make any provision for a journey. In the boat. Probab- ly in Peter's fishing bort, !nit it may have belonged to jam, oral John. And other boats were with him. This. fact is added to show that even sea- wards escape was difficult: , Some of the people had got into boats to be nearer the speaker. And there ariseth a great storm of wind. Matthew describes this storm by . using the Greek word for an earthquake: it was seismic. And the waves beat into the boat. The waves came crowding up into the boat. In- somuch that the boat was now fill- ing. . The water came in much faster than it could be bailed out, and the little fishing boat was on the point of floundering, as hundreds had be- fore it in like circumstances. • And he hiinself was in the stern, asleep, on the cushion. So should it be with all of Christ's followers, The disciples of Christ are not exempt from trial. ` They have afflictions, like other men, and 'besides these they have some that come upon them just because they are followers of Jesus. And they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish? How often we ourselves have dared in our hearts, if not in words, thus to upbraid our loving Re- deemer, whose care is ever over us! And he awoke. That cry was nev- er uttered in the Saviour's ear in vain. The storm cannot wake him; the elements clash around his head unheeded; but one touch from the hand of an alarmed disciple, one ear- nest cry in his ear, `Master, save!' and he is instantly aroused. And re- buked the wind. He addressed it as if it were a raging demon, perhaps seeing some devil or some host of devils back of its fury, And said un- to the sea, Peace, be still. The form of the word, too, means "be still forthwith and remain so." . And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. The verb is very graphic, de- picting the sinking to rest of the sea like a beast after a terrific struggle against irresistible force. And he said unto theist, Why are ye fearful? Have ye not yet faith? We think, perhaps, had we been with fesus in that ship we should never have been disturbed, And yet how certain it is that their failure in faith is just that which we perpetually make ourselves! And they feared exceedingly, Fool- ishly transferring their fear of the storm?, to fear of the Saviour from the storm. And said one to another. Conversing in low tones or whispers; Who then is this, that even the wind and sea obey him? Only the Creator could thus have controlled the forces which, ages before, he had himself set in motion. This is a wo:uderful lesson in trust in. thin, THE CURE OF THE DEMONIAC. And they carne to the other side of the ,sea, Tlie eastern . side, for which they had set out. Into the country of the Gerasenes, Our Lord was now in the region known as the Decapolis or Ten Cities, xes be ca utse it contained ten cities of considerable importance. And when he was corse out of the boat. The incident seems to have occurred immediately on his landing, the demoniac having watched the ap-, proach of the boat from some cave and rushing down to the shore to en- counter the strangers. •ers. And straight- way there met him out of the tombs. Such tombs can still he traced in more•than one of the ravines on the eastern side of the lake. A man with an unclean spirit. Matthew speaks of two demoniacs, Luke agreeing with Mark in mentioningonly one. The other was evidently .much' the milder of the two and kept in, the background.. Who had his ' dwelling in the tombs. The spirit of Christ changed all this. And no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain. The demon within him gave him strength like that often possessed by the vio- lently insane, whom only a number of, strong men can subdue: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains. Fet- ters for his feet andchainsfor his arms. And the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetter brok- en: in pieces; and rio man had strength t� tame him. The personal existence and : awful agency of evil spirits were evidently at this period made perculiarly mani- fest, and they might be the occasion of showing Christ. supreme power, both to set free and to bind. - And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones. What a fearful picture! And, what a terror he must have been to all the neighborhood! And when he saw Jesus from afar. From his cave up in, the. hills. He ran and: worshipped him. . How 'diff- erent his attitude toward the Saviour from his approach to ,ordinary men. And crying out with a loud voice. For all that the demon did must be done with violence. He saith, Wliat: have 1 to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? Our Lord's name and power were well known in the world of spirits, if not yet in that of inen. I adjure thee by God, torment me not. The torment would consist of driving the demon out of the man into the empty abyss from which he had come. For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man. Christ goes to the root of the mat- ter and proceeds with a quiet word to heal all his troubles by ridding. him of the evil spirit. GO, TELL THY FRIENDS And as he was entering into ' the boat. Christ was deprived of the rest for which he had cone, but he was entirely willing, since he had brought such joy into the lives of two men and all their friends. He that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him. So. the converted sinner. will always seek to be close to his Saviour, with pray- er and Bible . reading. And he suffered him' not. Even as he sent his twelve apostles away from him, that they might help hien do his work over the land.. But saith unto hint, Go to thy house unto thy. friends, To those that know bast, and all the fearful circumstances from which you have been saved.. And tell then how great things the Lord hath , done for thee. Great things indeed in thecase of any sin- ner, as in the case of this demoniac; for no one can save himself from. sin. And how lie had mercy on thee. The implication is that the demoniac had given entrance to the demons by some sin, as indeed was usually the case; hence the spirits were unclean, not only in themselves, but in the reason for their mastery And he went his way. Immediate obedience is indicated, And began to publish in Decapolis. The region of the Tan Cities, each of them,;a poss- ible centre for Christianity. How great things Jesus had done for him. He would have many witness to ;tes- tify to his former pitiable state and to the wonderful deed of Jesus.

In fact, I have heard it said many tines that "one canalways tell a gentleman by his shoes." 13e that as it may, here are a few hints as to the care of shoes: 1. Keep shoes clean. Alwaya wipe light colored shoes clean with a clean cloth after each wearing. Place on trees and put away carefully covered. 2, To clean Tan shoes: Wash tan shoes with warm water and 'castile soap, Let them dry and then polish is usual way. 3. To remove grease from suede shoes. This works especially well with candle grease spots. Place piece of brown wrapping paper over grease spot, Hold warmiron over the pap- er. The spot will be absorbed in this way. 4. To present new shoes from In the pinching. Lay a cloth moistened in hot water across place pressure is felt. When cloth becomes cool change it. In this way the leather shapes itself to the foot. 5, A help to keep shoes water- proof. Rub bees -wax or ,,mutton suet around boots and shoes. " shoes, ' Rub 6.
