ANALYSIS.

II. THE BEGINNING O>• PILE ifiSSION,
23-25.
INTiranuOTlort•--In order to follow
the movements of Jesus after the
temptation, we .nust turn so the first
chapter of John. Evident,- he did not
return at once into Galilee, and when
he did come back, he did not go to
Nazareth, but went to Capernaum, on
the north side of the Lake of Galilee,
which now becomes his headquarters.
I. THE CALL OF THE FIRST DISCIPLE,
17-22.
V. 17. This call of the disciples is
a matter of great significance. There
are four accounts of this :all in the
gospels, and all agree in showing that
this was one of the' first things to
which Jesus gave his attentiou. The
evidence for this discipleship is very
learners. Preaching was More formal,
and appealed snore to the mind and
emotions of the headers
The subject of the preacher is given
here as "the gospel, or good news, of
the kingdom"; ' and this introduces one
of the conumna words of the New
Testament The term, "kingdom of
heaven," or "the kingdom of God,"
occurs very frequently in the four gos.•
pels, though it is found very seldom
in the rest of the New Testament. It
occurs in the Old Testament, and
means the sovereignty or rule of God.
Jesus takes a term that was known to
the people of his time, and gradually 11
reads new meaning into it.
V. 24. It Was no wonder that the
fame of this preacher spread quickly
through the land, especially when we
think of these marvelous cures which
he wrought on the sick. We should
notice in „this verse the great variety
of his miracles, and recognie the fact
that the healing of the sick was a
distinctive part of the work of Jesus.
In this the church has tried to follow
his example, in the.founding of hospi-
tals, and in all the efforts to care for
the necessities of the body.
V, 25. This verso shows the extent
of his mission, including, not only
Galilee, but the lands that lay both
south and east.

Only tate superior reputation of the
Canadian oyster inherited from the
past has kept it on the market at all,
And the producers apparently don't
think their business is worth keeping
alive, as they send all sizes of shell

trade, an important trade, has been
lost to the Canadian oysters, because
when the chefs order American oys-
ters they know just what they are

Americans' Market Practice
"The Americans grade their oysters
carefully, and when you order a bar-
rel of a certain standard you know

available there is no city convenience
that cannot be had on the farm.

With extension of rural lines and
extensive developments in the cities,
the province faces a power shortage.
To offset this the provincial com-
mission has just contracted for 250,-
000 horsepower from the Beauliarnois
development in the St. Lawrence and
is pushing its own developments at Falls alls and Carillion on the Ot-
tawa River, which will give a total
of 275,000 horsepower.

The Beanfield
A beanfield in full blossom smells
as sweet
As Araby, or; groves of orange flow-
ers;
Black-eyed and white, and feathered
to one's feet,
How sweet they smell in morning's
dewy hours!!
When seething night is left upon the
flowers.
And wheu morn's sun shiues brightly
o'er the field,
And bean bloom glitters in the gems
of showers,
And sweet the fragrance which the
union yields
To battered` footpaths crossing o'er
the fields. .
