LESSON' FOR JANUARY 27th Lesson Topic—The Holy Spirit. Lesson Passage John 16:7-11. Golden Text—Romans 8:14. Jesus had just been telling his dis- ciples of the opposition and hatred of the world that would meet them in the days ahead of them after He had gone from them. They were filled with anguish at the thought of their desolateness and disappointmenfor they had entertained hopes o earthly kingdom. Jesus had often referred to His leaving them but now He says distinctly: "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart I will send Him unto you." The Pulpit Commentarys says of this and following verses: Jesus could not become the Divine Life cen- tre of the human family, radiating from Himself the full glory of a uni- versal harmony, until He had been taken up, until He had been glorified in God. Unspeakably precious as many of our earthly gifts and friend- ships are, we do not apprebend them, nor profit by them to the full, until they are taken from us. Nothing had ever been so wonderful and bless- ed to the human spirit as the fellow- ship which had prevailed between the Son of Man and His disciples. They were with Him, they sat at His feet, they watched His countenance, they experienced a continuous series of divine surprises at His judgments and m,ereies. They were walking by sight. There was, however, , some- thing more wonderful and gracious still, when, in His physical absence, they would have the sense of His spiritual presence. The promise, "I will Send Him," is the guarantee of a something more than a "Christ after the flesh" could ever be. Jesus proceeds to tell them that they through the power of the Spir- it, the Comforter, which He will send into their spirits as a compensation for His bodily absence, will accomp- lish a strange and tremendous work. The world, meaning all kings, prin- ces, potentates, priests and publicans, who are out of harmony with God, will be convicted by the Holy Ghost. The conviction of the world is three- fold—in respect of sin, in respect of righteousness, in respect of judg- ment. Christ declares that the spirit —which has always been striving with men to bring them into recon- ciliation with God, will now convict the world that its sinful tendencies and principles have reached their highest and most wilful expression in unbelief towards Me. In the second place Jesus declares that His exaltation to the right hand of the Father would exhibit God's ideal of righteousness and that the Holy Spirit would convince the world that there is no other righteousness for men than the righteousness of God in Christ and the righteousness of Christ before trod. Jesus again declares that the world will come to know that He the Son of Man was what He claimed to be, the Son of God. We read in Acts 2:36 refer- ence to the fulfilment of this very claim He puts forth. "Therefore (Peter Bays) let all the house of Is- rael )snow assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Thus their Master sets forth that the conviction concerning sin, right- eousness and judgment, by the aid of the Spirit whom He will send, will become the great work of the Apostles and of the Church, until He comes again in His glory.

Keble Obattertoai's teal. au him was added to the °Goldexxn 'nd" ser- ies; and now John Gould Fletcher has done another called "Jolla Smith—al- so Pocahontas" (Carrier, illustrated). The former has all the verve and swing that Smith's character and career warrant; but it sticks pretty closely to Smith's own published vers ions of his exploits, which cannot' al- ways be believed.. Therefore, though Chatterton's account has a ring to it like the snack of blows, Fletcher's is to be preferred as the result of the more careful sifting of evidence. ,Smith was born ip Lincolnshire in 1580, while Drake, Raleigh, Frobish- er, Hawkins and the other great Eliz- abethan adventurers were still alive. At sixteen, he ran away from home in a ship carrying men to Henry of Navarre's wars against the Catholic League; but arriving late he joined instead a small band of Englishmen in the Dutch service against Spain in the Netherlands. After three years lighting to harden him up, he return - •eq and was shipwrecked off the North- umberland coast, and was nearly drowned but got ashore. Shortly he went to the Hungarian wars against the Turks in the Balk- ans and took service with King Bath- ory of Transylvania in 1601. On the way his baggage was stolen and he had to sell his cloak to pay his pas- sage. He also fell in with pirates, and tells a doubtful story about be- ing thrown overboard and swimming to an island. When fighting against the Turks, he invented a device for signalling at night with lights, which resulted in •the capture of a town and his own promotion to captain of horse. The next year, at the age of twenty-two, .the army needed a little time to get guns into position. So Smith challenged any Turk to single combat; and when he had cut off his opponent's head he repeated the feat with two other antagonists. For this he was promoted and given by Bath- ory a coat of arms, consisting of three Turks' heads. Later he was left wounded on the field, picked up by wandering Tartars, and sold into slav- ery at Axopolis on the Danube. What happened before he reappear- ed in Europe, no one will ever know. lle tells a story about being bought by Tragabigzanda, a pasha's wife, who fell in love with him, and sent him to her brother to keep. "till she should be master of herself." He says he cut off the pasha's head and escaped. The story does not hold water; but he certainly knew Tartary, there was a Tragabigzanda, and she "at least made the young English captain free of her purse and perhaps of much more." He had a free and easy way attractive to women, but lived and died a• bachelor. and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth His hand and touched Him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed." Though the lepers of India cannot; see His face, they know His hand is still put forth to touch the untouchable and defiled, and be- hold they are cleansed.—Rev. A. R. Bryan, of the American Presbyterian Mission. NEW HEALTH FOR TIRED -OUT WOMEN Found in the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actually Make. Anaemia comes on gradually, be- ginning with langour, indisposition to mental or 'bodily exertion, irritability and a feeling of fatigue. Later comes the palpitation of the heart, head- aches, frequent backaches and often disturbed indigestion and an inability to obtain rest at night. Cases of this kind, if neglected, become more seri- ous, but if taken in time there is no need to worry. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which are free from any harm- ful or habit-forming drug, are just the tonic needed to remedy this 'wretched state of health. These pills actually make the rich, red blood that stimulates and strengthens every or- gan and nerve in the body. Thus strength and activity return, the ap- petite improves and restful sleep is had. What Dr. Williams 'Pink Pills can and will do is shown by the case of Mrs. D. B. Fanning, Seal Harbor, N. S., who says:—"I was in a badly run-down condition. I was pale, my appetite was very poor, and the least exertion would leave me completely tired out. In fact I was hardly able to do much work about the house. I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after taking a few boxes can truthfully say I had gained greatly in health and strength and was able to go about my work with no sign of the former weakness. I cheerfully re- commend therm to all others who may be in a run -dawn condition." You can gest the pills from your druggist, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. WORLD MISSIONS As I pay regular visits to the leper asylum, I am often reminded of visits to hospitals and homes for the aged in America, despite the vast differ- ence in the condition of the patients. The lepers need the same sort of cheery word and encouragement. They are busy, those of them who have sufficient hands and feet, with their farming, gardening. cooking, and assisting those too maimed to care for themselves. A few carpen- ters and masons, who are patients, help with the repairs. Occasionally there is a call for road Work, sweep- ing, or other outdoor work, which we are only too glad to have the lepers undertake, es it keeps them occupied and happy. In fact, the leper asylum 'is a little village, with its quota of joys and sorrows, yet considering the distressing effects of the disease re- markably content withal. Daily prayers are conducted in the church building on the asylum com- pound. , ere, too are held 7Mgularly Sabbathachooh, time afternoon church Adie, and the quarterly cosnnnnrn- ion seasons.

On one occasion he was am- bushed in Opechancanough's house by 700 armed braves, but manoeuvred himself out. On another, 40 or 50 Indians stole up to the house where he slept, but he awakened in time. Yet again, he had a single-handed fight with the chief of the Paspaheg- hens. The two rolled down the bank into the river, but Smith was rescued in time. At the moment of his most desperate peril from the Indians, he was deposed from the presidency; but the leaders who had recalled him, his personal enemies, going to notify him in a barge, were all drowned. Had they succeeded in getting the message through, his life would have been doubly forfeit. It was his last piece of luck. In. August, 1609, he was deposed and put in irons for conspiracy with the In- dians to attack the colony. He was taken back to England, and never saw Virginia again. The colony which he had fathered and ruled speedily went to pieces—to be reborn shortly out of the vitality he had put into it. What he had done made Virginia and New England. While others foolishly loaded ships w•itJh dirt that might be gold -bearing, he discovered iron mines and shipped samples of ore to England. As a re- sult the colony was flourishing in 1619, the ships that year bringing 1,216 people, and the furnaces were running full blast. This was all the result of Smith's work. So was the Jamestown) massacre in 1622; and the worst that can be said against him is the charge that he was un- grateful to Powhatan, who had spared his life. Smith was only 30 when he return- ed to England. The rest of his life is marked chiefly by publication of his various aceounts of his adventures and his efforts to get backing for an- other Virginia venture. For some time he could get no employment. In 1614 he was sent whaling to Port- land. He did -more exploring than whaling, but pleased his employers by bringing back 40,000 cod. He was sent again in April, 1615, and return- ed in June. 1616, with a tale of leaky ships, a mutinous crew, and having been captured by pirates. Some of it was true. But it was the end. On the way home through Europe he heard of a war in Morocco between two "ducky-{hailred African potent- ates" and started for it, but was too late, and got •back to England in 1604. There the publication of K. Hakluyt's "Voyages" in 1600 had set folk talk- ing about the New World; and Smith threw himself into organization of the Virginia Company. To his enterprise and tenacity must be given credit for the first English settlement in what is now the United States. The ex- pedition was off on December 19th, 1606, with three ships. They struck storms in the Channel; on the way Smith was accused of incipient mut- iny; and the party arrived almost nim aculously in Virginia April 30th, 1607. Smith, though a prime mover and ipvestor in the scheme, was not ad- mitted to the Council till June 6th on :account of the suspicion of mutiny. The story from here on parallels in its main features the career of Balboa on the Isthmus. While the leaders quarielled, Smith did what he could to assure food supplies, to erect pro- per buildings and take reasonable pre- cautions of that kind. Further, like Balboa, he was an explorer by tem- perament, and never wearied of oueneying into the interior by every river and route he could find. He covered 3,000 miles and his maps were useful He went about collect- ing corn fru... the Indians. Gener- ally the colonists were within a short distance of starvation. During one of these expeditions Smith was captured by Opechan- canough, a chief, and brother of the high chief Powhatan. •Smith was sent to Powhatan. After some talk be- tween Smith and Powhatan, Smith was placed on two stones and two braves with raised tomahawks pre- pared to smash his skull. At this point the chief's favorite daughter, Pocahontas, a girl of twelve, ran for- ward and placed her head beside Smith's and begged his life. Legend suggests that she was in love with him; but Mr. Fletcher explains that this was common custom and probab- ly arranged by old Powhatan to il- lustrate his power and to avert his brother's displeasure at the release of the prisoner. Nor did Smith, as is commonly supposed, marry the girl. Eight years latex, she was persuaded to come aboard an English ship, and held as a hostage, being later mar- ried to John Rolfe. She died in Eng- land in 1617, vary much at out with Smith; but there is some indication of sentiment between the pair in the fact that on a later occasion she warned Smith of an ambush being prepared for him by her own father. Getting bacic to his colony, 'Smith found Ratcliffe had seized the gov- eminent. Smith was arrested, but before he could lie executed Captain Newport .: rrived with nuupplies. ?YOWL this point on, Smith's activities con- sisted in squeezing corn out of thenatives.

Short, thick -set, hard as nails, jolly and care -free, a braggart and bluffer and believer in being able to bull things through, he was a dynamo for energy and a glutton for clanger. He made bad mistakes; but he could be counted on for action ev- ery time. He was ambitious and a soldier of fortune, hoping to earn worldly honor and money. He died poor and pretty much discredited at fifty-one; and he left a great reeord of personal ad,v'enture. Ship --wrecked, twice a prisoner of war, three times condemned• to death, wounded in battles, ambushed, con- spired against, suffering mutiny and disgrace, John Smith hung on.

In contradistinction to the `:'E,'nous clubs of Picadilly and Pall Mall, Kingsley Hall, situated amid the noise and squalor of the streets of Bow in the East End slums, asks for neither initiation fees nor pedigrees. It has come into being as the re- sult of a long -cherished desire of Miss Muriel Lester, a London welfare worker, to establish a club for poor people where they might find enter- tainment •and opportunity for im- provement at nominal cost. So that its members shall not feel exploited or pauperized, she and some of her friends who are interested in her vol- untary poverty movement, undertake to lead a life of almost monastic sim- plicity during their term of service as workers ,at Kingsley Hall. In conformity with her belief in voluntary poverty, Miss Lester last year refused a legacy of $2,000 a year left by her father.
