Christ's Compassion On The
Multitude.
And he saith tanto thein; Come ye
yourselvesapart into a 'desert place,
and rest awhile. They were' probably
in Capernaum, where they were welt
known and where throngs were wont
to reach them. By a "desert" place
Christ did. not mean a place thatwas
barren and forbidding, but an unin-
habited place. He chose a.'beautiful
spot, well suited to a
vacation.
For there were many coming and
going;'' and they had, no leisure so
much as to eat. The Passover was
at hand (John 6i4), and,great crowds
of pilgrims were on their way from
the north down alongside the lake to
Jerusalem.
And they ;went away in the boat to
a desert place apart. The boat
Was
probably Peter's or:perhaP s one of
Zebedee's. Their course was east-
ward, along the north shore;
And the people saw them going.
and, many knew them, and they ran
together there on foot from all the
cities, and outwent them. It; was a-
bout ten. miles' around the end of,the
lake' on foot and only about four miles,:
across ,by water, but the crowd easily
outwent the boat because evidently
the wind was contrary or there was
only a slight breeze.
And he came forth and saw a
great multitude Taking the account
here in, Mark alone, • one would un-
derstand that Jesus saw the "great
multitude" as He "came forth" out
of the boat. • Some were there, but
only the most rapid runners. After
a while, raising His eyes from their
earnest conference; our Lord be-
came aware of the great crowd that
had gathered on the plain below.
And he had compassion on them,
because they were as sheep not hav-
ing -a "shepherd. Matt. 9:36, tells of
another occasion when Christ ex.-
pressed
xpressed the same feeling; doubtless
pity for the eager crowds, so hung-
ry for religotts comfort, guidance,
and .strength, came over Him often;
and was the divinelyimpelling force

The happy
merchant
Neverbefore i the history
n 1s x
Y
•1
of the,world has it been b n os -
P
sible'for a merchant in good
credit to do so much_ business
with so little capital locked
up in stock.
One important reason for the
present prosperity is, that in-
stead of having to buy a big
stock at the beginning of
each. season, he is now able
to buy small stocks and re-
plenish them promptly by
Long .Distance,

miles around coming to you
for whatever they need. In-
vent ways of inducing them
to visit your stora,tor to or-
der from you by Long Dis-
tance and -- then tell .us
-you will not be seriously
bothered by competition.
Long Distance is making
happy merchants : in some
towns. Don't overlook it0
great possibilities.
The announcement of this tr anac-
tion was made on Friday morning,
although' no disclosures were made
with respect to the •amount of mon-
ey involved in the deal, it is under-
stood that the figure is very close to
the $ioo,000 mark. Mr. Malloy, of
the Transportation Co., stated that
the plans of his Company with re-
spect to the operation of these two
newly acquired boats were very in-
complete, but the general public
could rest assured that they would
be given the best of service. The
service on the south shore of the
Manitoulin Island has not been all
that it should be, Just what is
planned for that route which was
taken by the Alice, last year, and
previous to that, by 'the Pedwell, is
not yet decided on. Mr. Malloy also
stated that there would be an im-
provement in the north shore serv-
ice, the details of which are still be-
ing worked on.
The Alice, which is the larger and
more up-to-date of the two boats,
will' undergo many important chang-
es before she is put into service this
spring, and it is expected that work
will be started on her immediately.
Her passenger and dining -room ac -
emendation will be improved, a new
freight elevator will be installed, and
certain repairs and changes will be
rnacle in her Deisel engines, which
will make her operate much easier
than heretofore. The Alice is gen-
erally considered to be an excellent
boat, and with the contemplated
changes, will no doubt, become quite
popular with the travelling public.
With regard to the Pedwell, the
plans are, very incomplete.
The acquisition of these two boats
y the Dominion Transportation Co.
cans much to Owen Sound in the
ay of employment. Mr, Malloy in-
rnled the press that the pay list
ould run up
close sc to 90 people,

it is altogether probable that ade-

of the line will be provided at the
docks, although ifr•. Malloy could

ing this matter. it is known that
the Company owns some of the
property next to their present ware-
house, ami, it •may be that an up-to-
date waiting=ronin will be built
there.

a lot of American tourists has been
to take the boat to South Bay, then
to motor over the island to Gore
Bay, thirty piles distant, the boat
again to Cutler and o11 to the Pro-
vineial Highway to Sault Ste, Marie,
crossing the line there into Michi-
gan, and then southward to all
points.
Mr: "Tackaberry anticipated growth
in this lune of business, statifig that
all the boats were busy, and from
all indications, would' continue so.
The Alice has proven to be a good
investment for Mr. Tackaberry, and
satisfactory from the point, of opera-
tion. She has `S berths and can ac-

Iowa,' was chosen and a unanimous
call was extended to him by the
congregations of Molesworth and
Gorrie.
Rev. Mr., MacDonald of Lucknow;
conducted the inductive services, af-
ter which the members of the .Pres-
bytery present gave Itim the right
hand of fellowship, Rev. Mr. Forbes,
of Teeswater, then addressed the
newly inducted minister, and Rev.
Dr. Perry addressed the congrega-
tion. Mr. Joseph Cummings of
Molesworth, and Mr. Irwin of Gor-
rie, introduced the minister and his
wife to the members of both con-
gregations present.
Nany visitors were present from
Ethel, Cranbrook, Gorrie, Fordwich
and Listowel, and all present are
confident that a most happy choice I
has been made in the persons of
Mr. Pritchard and his estimable
wife.
