HEALING A GREAT FEVER. And he rose up from the syna- gogue. He left the congregation in amazement at the great work that he had done, and asking who, he could really, be that he commanded the de- vils and they obeyed him. And en- tered in to the house of Simon. Our Lord tnay have made Peter's house His abode while in Capernaum. And Simons wife's mother. It is strange indeed that the Roman Catholic Church insists on the celebracy of the clergy,seeing that its patron St. Pet- er 'Was eter''was married. Was holden with a great fever. Fevers ' were classified as great and small,and this was a great one. And they besought him for her. After' you have stated the case to your Lord, then plead with Him, plead His promises, and plead His nature, plead the need of the ease, and theglory whicha cure will bring. And he stood over her, and rebuk- ed the fever. Once (Luke 8:24) Christ "rebuked the wind and the c .raging of the water:" The forces of a nature were his creatures. And it left t her. Matthew has the lovely record, OP "He touched her hand, and the fever left her. "So with us. He touches bur hearts, and changes them. He touches us with the hand of absolu- tion; He says, 'Thy sins be forgiven thee.' „ And immediately. Fevers leave one very weak, but Christres- tored estored Peter's mother-in-law,, to her us- ual strength instantly. So will it be, if he deems best, whenever we go to 'him for. healing or for any other blessing. .He never needlessly delays a response. She rose up and minister- ed unto thein.. She was evidently a kind, serviceable woman, one of those whom the Lord especially loves to bless. HEALING A 'MULTITUDE.

''We then see that he cane with passionate entreaties, fling- ing himself on his knees, and wor- shipping, and finally in his agony .pro- strating himself on his face."And besought hini, saying; Lord if thou wilt, thou eanst make me clean. The leper's prayer was based on faith, "Thou const," and on uncertainty, "If thou wilt," "You and I desire health, influence, regeneration, for ourselves or for our friends. If we frame' th desires into a prayer, can'we obt that for' which we pray, now or all?

He alone could pronounce the' man cured and "clean.. And offer' for thy cleansing; according as Moses commanded, for a testimony upon them. Our Lord, who . often had oc- casion to condemn the Pharisaic ad- ditions to the simple laws •.of Moses and. even to,add his own wider . wis- dom and deeper, love to some of them took: every opportunity to show his loyalty the religion of his people, and to the great law -giver through whom God had spoken so many; cen- turies before. But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him. The lep- er disobeyed God.

Bolingbroke is a patient in a London Hospital where she underwent an operation last week. At present she is progressing favor - to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. The testimony was not such as he desired: It was pre- mature and unsuitable. And when it was day, he carne out. and went into a desert place. Christ's miracles cost, they wore upon his mortal energies in, spite of his divine power; and after a day of such stu- pendous healing virtue as the Sab- bath had been, the Great Physician need of the restful .quiet of the wilder- ness, ilder- n ss e ,and. was wise enough to seek it. And themultitudes sought, after him and carne upon him. We. learn from Mark that they were piloted: ;by Simon Peter himself, who knew Christ's customary haunts. And would have stayed him, that he ,should not go from them: There were still ;many sick persons in'. Capernaum; they would keep this wonderful healer for themselves. Buthe said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of theking- dom of God to the other, cities also. Our Lord quietly and as a matter of ourse says nothing about those mir- cles of healing which were His en - ire work in the minds of that Caper- naum crowd. His mission was to tell. the people the good news, the gospel,. of the waiting love of his Father and to establish on earth his reign of love. The miracles gushed spontaneously out of his tender heart; they illustrat- ed his gospel, but were far from be- ing the gospel itself. For therefore. was I sent. Our Lord was a mission- ary, "one sent." He had received a commission from his Father, and in turn he gave the Great Commission to his followers. We are to go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Does this call in- clude you? The burden: of proof lies on you, if it does not. And he was preaching in the. syna- gogues of Galilee, "That this prac- tice, and the absolute liberty of tea- ching, subject to the authority of the Chief ruler of the synagogue, formed sunset, and with it ended the restric- tions which kept the sick folks away ti from Jesus. ! o And when the sun was setting. They were_ so eager that they could scarcely. wait for the last rays to van- ish, All they: that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto hint, The street was packed with mis- ery --the lame, the deaf, the blind, the dropsical, the .palsied, the demon -pos- sessed, the lepers, a horrible mass of wretchedness such as those lands without skillful doctors can instantly furnish even: today; And he laid his hands on every one'of them. This gesturewasconhinon in Christ's mir- acles of healing. It put our Lord's wh personality into the blessing. He wh mportant links in the Christianize - on of the world, is another evidence f that wonder-working rule of God which brings about marvellous results through the orderly and natural sue cession of events—nay, orders these means with the view to their ultimate iss ire." HEALING A LEPER. And it canoe to pass, while he was in one of the cities.

The organized . onion growers of Ontario are making splendid headway in their effort to market increased supplies of Home-grown onions, By the efforts of an appointed campaign manager a number of important or- ganizations have inaugurated an "On- ion Week," which commenced on Jan. 25th. The press has lent valuable space to further the success of the campaign. Special literature dealing" with the onion has been distributed by both the federal and provincial de- partments of Agriculture; radio talks are being given on the seine subject by the Ontario Department of Agri- culture and by the Canadian National Railways radio chain The United Ho- tels of, Canada are putting special. menus on for this week and are dis- tributing special literature to their guests. While the immediate object of Onion Week is to reduce the large holdings of. onions in the province, it should also have the happy result of demonstrating to the consumers the worth while value of the home- growii product, Canada imports one million dollars worth of onions year- ly, while Ontario growers are : able to procluce•a sufficient supply to meet all needs.
