Ills disciples withdrew from. Capernaum.
H'or some time Jesua had sought retire
bterit and rest for Himself and His chez-
at twelve, and now was the favorable
Slate. It appears to have been a second
reason for his withdrawal at once from
)ewieth territory and the domain of Hor-
od Arttipas, that the opposition arouaed
tgainst Him Wright subside. The dis-
tourses of our Lord about ceremonial
iefilement and the bread of life had stir-
red up the Jewish leaders to a high pitch
of animosity and they were already
planning his destruction. The atten-
tion of Antipas had been called to Him,
since the time that John the Baptist was
beheaded, and it did not neem prudent
for Him to remain longer in Galilee at
this time. Into the coasts -"Into the
parts." -R. V. It is not necessary to
ntppose that. Jesus and His disciples

entrance of Jesus into non-Jewish ter-
ritory in His mission foreshadowed the
offer of salvation through the Gospel to
She Gentile world.
22. A woman of Canaan -Mark says,
'The woman was a Greek, a ;Syrophe-
nician by nation" (Mark 7, 20). The
term Canaan was the older title of the
:ountry, and the inhabitants were eue-
tcssively termed Canaanites and Phoe-
nicians, as the inhabitants of England
were successively called :Britons and Eng-
iishmen. Matthew used the older terra,

iac was one whose being was strangely
Interpenetrated by one or more of those
fallen spirits, who are constantly assert-
ed in Scripture (under the narne of de-
utons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, the
chief being the devil, or Satan) to be
the enemies and tempters of the souls of
men. He stood in a totally different
position from the abandoned wicked
man, who morally is given over to the
devil. The latter would be a subject
for punishment, but the demoniac for
deepest compassion. There appears to
have been in .hint a double will and dou-
ble consciousness. It has been not im-
probably supposed that some of these
demoniacs may have arrived at their
dreadful. state through various progres-
sive degrees of guilt and sensual aban-
donment. -Alford. This affliction was

session is often connected with some
form of bodily disease. See Lesson Xr,
of the 'preceding quarter. This mother
knew that human help could not avail,
hence her earnestness to secure relief
when the Master was near.

Answered her not a word. The order
of his mission is limited to the house
of Israel. There is indeed miaery in
plenty in heathendom; and though for
them he will hake atonement before
he returns to hie Father, yet his mir-
acles and his preaching belong to Israel.
-Wean, The silence of our Lord, while
it was not a refusal outright to hear her
request, would seem to her to be a de-
nial of her petition. Jesus In sending
tior the apostles forbade their going
into the way of the Gentiles, and he
himself was not seeking them. but,
"the Wet sheep of the house of Israel"
Later. when her faith became active, he
maid not refuse her request. Some have
composed that the Master's silence was
to test the faith and patience of the
Woman; others. theft it was to give his
disciples an example of faith and per-
iierveratice; but the most reasonable e planation seems to be that his labors
were to be expended on behalf of the
.Jews. Sent her away. The disciples
became weary of this mothers' Impor-
tunity, and therefore besought their
Master to grant her request. "Jesus in-

"X suffered tortures for seven long
years from a Water Tumor. I was
forced to take morphia constantly to
relieve the awful pains, and I wanted to
die to get relief. The doctors gave me
up and my friends hourly expected my
death. Then I was induced to take
"Fruit-a-tives" and this wonderful fruit
medicine has completely cured me.
When I appeared on the street again
my friends exclaimed 'The dead has

miracle." MRS. JAMES FENWICK.

in behalf of the poor woman." -Schaff.
24. I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. Jesus de-
clared the mission upon which he was
sent by the Father. His earthly minis-
try was designed to include only the
Jews, and in their behalf were his labors
directed. His death, however, opened
the way of salvation to all the world.
The Jews were "lost sheep" because they
were without the Shepherd's care, and
because they refused his kindly offices.
His labors were confined to compara-
tively small number. "'10 have spread
out his present minstry beyond the cir-
cle of Israel would have been to thin-
ned and weakened his influence." -Mori.
son. After his earthly mission should
close, his disciples and their successors
were to be the light of the world and
to extend the blessings of the goepcl to
all peoples.
25. Came she and worshipped him. No
obstacle yet presented was sufficient to
deter the woman from urging her re-
quest, and, while Jesus was talking with
dis disciples, she drew near, placing her
self in an attitude of worship, to renew
her petition. It is not eertain that she
comprehended the fact of Christ's divin-
ity, and the worship may have been
adoration suitable to a person of dis-
tinction. Lord, help me. Iler prayer
was brief, yet comprehensive. In it she
poured forth the whole burden of her
sorrowful heart. The petition express-
ed deep need, importunity and faith. It
is not in the nature of the heart of
Christ to deny such a petition. 28. He.
answered. IIe did not repel her. Her
attitude led him to make further expla-
nation. It is not meet. It is not fitting
or consistent. 'Phe children's bread. By
the term children he means the Jews.
It was not in keeping with his mission
to bestow upon Gentiles the blessing de-
signed beethe Jews, even though the lat-
ter were rejecting hiin and despising
the benefits he was freely offeringthem.
Cast it to dogs. Jesus, in applying the
epithet dogs to the Gentiles, was follow-
ing the mode of expression at the times,
for the Jews looked upon all others as
dogs. The word Jesus used to mean
little dogs. or household pets. The
woman was not to be repulsed even by
classed with dogs. She saw n ray of
hope in the words 'of Jesus, "Let the
children first be filled" (Mark 7:27), for
there might be something left for the
dogs that were accustomed to run about
the table. She could be looked upon as
a dog, but could not withdraw her pe-
tition.

strong desire and faith made her keen.

to put away her request were turned
into an argument in her favor. yet the

gathered about the table and the crumbs

watchful dogs. The dogs were not de-

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
A Woman's Pahl.
She heard of Jesus. f'A woman of
Canaan came" (v. 22). . "Faith cometh
by hearing" (Rom, 10:17); by "looking
unto Jesus" (Heb. 12:2), who is "Lord
of lords and King of kings" (Rey. 17:
14). Looking to Jesus Peter had faith
to walk on the sea; the moment lie
"saw the wind boisterous" he began to
sink (Matt. 14:28-32). A lady said to
Mrs. Boardman, "Lack of faith is my
great difficulty." Mrs. Boardman ask-
ed, "If you wished to confide in a wo-
man would you look into your heart to
see if you could trust her?" "No, 1
should look at her capacity and charac-
ter."
She besought for another. "Cried
unto Him" (v. 22). A. Congregational
missionary was distributing rice to the
lpoor of Japan. A mother wlio had a
unatic daughter carne for food. The
missionary went to the dark, miserable
room where the mother, two sons an:1
mad daughter lived. The girl was eon.
fined in a ea.ge with wooden bars. Her
face was sweet and pathetic even in its
wildness. .She went from side to side,
or tried. to climb the bars like a wild
animal. The missionary's. heart ached
for the poor, caged •ehi':d, bat there were
no asylums for the insane poor in Japan.
There was but one thing to do; let the
strong faith and tender love of Cbri=t
well up in her heart. And the girl
caught the glow of it. She looked at her
wonderingly, inquiringly; let her stroke
her arm and speak soothingly. 'Then the
wild look came back. The missionary
and her assistant read to the ;nether of
the healing of the dauteliter of this ewe
man of Canaan, and told her (sod wo't;d
hear them for her daughter. and knelt
and prayed, and sang, 'Jesus, Lover of
My Soul." The mad girl grew quiet.
The next day the mother came and tn:d
the missionary the (laughter had sept
nearly all night. The week fallowing the
giri asked to knit and wished the ".Tr+=us
people" Would come again. They went.
The sons got work and the :nether eame
for rice no more. Some time after word
came to the missiati,,;,;11he crazy
girl is well; God heal(�al her•. 'It began
with the prayer and song.", Then the
missionary went again and sa,w a yotttut
girl sitting by the door in perfect health.
with a happy face, and never dreamed it
was the once crazed lunatic whom her
faith and love had brought to Jens.
But it was even so.
