THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time,—Autumn A.D. 28, in the se-
cond year of Christ's ministry.
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;

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

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Shoes
Shoes are a most important part
of a person's attire.. 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.

should coni.e upon him before the or-
dained time, we must remember that
this miracle was wrought at a dis-
tance from Christ's customary work,
in a region he was not to visit again.
Therefore he gave to the healed de-
moniacs the .same instructions that
had held good for all saved sinners
after hs . death and resurrrection and
that apply today; "Tell your friends!
Telilall men! Tell how great things
the Lord has done for you, and how
he 'has had mercy on you!"
