A co -incidence ,happened in ,Gorrie
last week when Mrs. J. Walker was
paid a short visit by Mr. J. W. 'Pow-

business yisit,• he in company with
friends visited the home of Mn and
Mrs. Walker, Gorrie, on a Sunday af-
ternoon, and ,attendedservice in the
old Methodist Church, during which
time he suffered a heart attack and
had to be removed from the edifice,
being taken to the Walker; horde,
where it was thought for some; time
life Luing in the balance. Since that
time they had not heard of or seen
each other until Wednesday' last' when
Mr. Powell visited Gorrie,' and 'look
ed up the Walkers. Mrs. Walker, who
now is well advanced in years, remem-
bered the whole incident and was as-
tonished to learn.. that Mr. Powell was
the young pian whom she thought was
long since dead. Incidentally, one of
the party 'was a sister of Win. E.

of Mr, Powell.

CHAPTER THE FIFT
t
One of the Pharisees begged O
Saviour to go into his house; and
with him: And while. Our Saviour
eating at the table, there crept
the room a woman of that city,

After this, there was a great fens
f the' Jews, and Jesus Christ wen
o Jerusalem. There was, near th
seep market in that place, a pool, o
ond, called Bethseda, having fiv
ates to.it; and at the time .of th
ear when that feast took place' grea
umbers of sick people and cripples
ent to this pool to bathe in it: be -
eying that an angel came and stirred
e water, and that whoever went in
et after the angel had done so, was
tred of any. illness, he or she had,
hatever it might be. Among these
or persons, was one man_who had

id Jesus Christ (who took pity on
m when he say him lying on his
d alone, with no one to help him)
at he e never could be clipped in the
ol, because'he was so weak and
that he could not move to wet
ere. Our Saviour said to hini, "take
tidy' bed and go:. away. And he
etit awayquite well.
Many Jews saw this anct when they
set
it, they hated Jesus Christ the
re: knowing that the people, being.
tight and (tired by him, would not

ople what was not true, and deceiv

going with his .disciples over a sea;,.
called the Sea of Tiberias, and sitting'
with them on: a hill -side, saw great -
numbers of these poor people waiting
below, and said to the Apostle Philip;,
"Where shall we buy bread, that they
may eat and be refreshed, after , their
long journey? Philip answered„
"Lord, two hundred pennyworth of
bread would not be enough for so:
many people, and we have none." "We
have only," said another apostle' -- '
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother
"five small barley loaves, and two lit-
tle fish, belonging to 'a lad who is
among us, What are they, among so
many!" Jesus Christ said, "Let them
all sit down! They did; there being
a great deal'of grass in , that place.
When they were all seated, Jesus tools
the bread; and,looked up to Heaven,
and blessed, it, and broke it, and hand-
ed it in: pieces' to the apostles, who
handed it to the people;' And of; those
five little loaves; and two fish, five.
thousand men, . besides women' and',
children ate, and had enough; and
when they, were all satisfied, there
were gathered up twelve baskets full
of what was left. This was another
of the Miracles of. Jesus Christ.
Our Saviour then sent his disciples
away in a boat, across the water, and
said' he would follow theist presently,
when he had dismissed the people.

rowing on the water in their boat„
wondering when Christ would, come, _.
Late in the night, when the wind ryas.
against them and the waves were
running high, they saw, Him corning
walking towards them on the water,
as if it were dry land. When they
saw this, they were terrified, and:
cried out, for Jesus said, '`It is i, Pie
not afraid!" Peter, taking courage,
said, "Lord, if it be thou; tell me to
come to thee upon the water." Jesus.
Christ said "Cornet" Peter then walk-
ed towards Him, but seeing the. angry
waves and hearing the wind roar,' he
was frightened and began to sink; and.
would have done so, but `Jesus took

Jesus did many more miracles af..

in great numbers: making the lame
walk, and the dumb speak, and the
blind see, And being again surround-

He now divided the disciple's, and
sent them into many towns and•vill-
ages, teaching the ,people, and giving-
them

God, all those who it ere ill.' And ;at
this time He began to tell them (for
he. knew what would" happen') that he
must one day go to Jerusalem where
he would suffer a great deal, and
where he would certainly be put to
Death. But he said to them that on
the third day after he was dead, he
would rise from the grave, and ascend
to Heaven, where he would sit at the
right hand of God, beseeching (rod's
