Tee senagogue-A place of worship tor the Jewa, This one was built bY the centariOn vvirose sarvitat Jesus healed it little later. Synagogues were built in the various, Pities where Jews dweit. Taught -Jesus was careful to observe tae Sabbath, It was the aun- t= for the ruler of the synagogue to invite visitors of ability to speak at the services, and thus Jesus was ae- corded the privilege of opening the scriptures to the people. 22. Doctrine -"Tectehing."-R. V. His uhfolding of the word of God was so dear, cOn- vinaing and dablime that his hearers were filled With astonishment. Au- thority -Christ's authority did not wine from his having been trained in the schools of the rabbis, but from his inherent wisdom, power and love, and from the spirit which he manifest- ed. His divInIty clothed him with authority. Not aa the scribes-TheY were sometimes called doctors. Their duty was to copy and explain the law and the treditinns of Vie elders. TheY simply repeated what the rabbis be- tter° them had said. 23. A man with an unclean spirit - The man was under the power of a demon, so that he had no proper con- trol of himself. Luke says he "had a spirit of an unclean devil" (4: 33). It it; called unclean bemuse the acts in- spired in the oue thus posseesed aro unholy and irapure. He cried out - The spirit cried out, using the organs Of speech of the man whom he con- trolled. 24, Let us alone -The evil spirit at once recognized Christ's Power. Art thou come to destroy us -There is enmity between Christ and evil spirits. Jesus came to "destroy the works ef the devil" (1 John 38), andthe unclean spirit thought the tinae to destroy him and his fellows had come. The Holy One of God - Men generally had not recognized Christ's divinity, "but heaven and hell alike bea,r witness unto him." 25, Hold thy peace -Jesus would not con- sent to have witness borne to bis divinity by unclean spirits, lest the truth uttered by liars should be looked upon with suspicion. 26, He came out -The evil spirit did not loose hia hold without a struggle. The man was thrown into strong eonvuisions, but Luke says of the evil spirit, "He came out of him, and hurt him not" (4:35). 211, Amazed -The people were so then eughly astonished at what they saw that they at cr ce sought an explana- tion of the marvellous transaction. With authot ity-The authority with which he taught found its guaranty in the authority hacked by power with which he forced the devils themselves to render obedience.-Godet. 28. Im- raedlately his fame spread abroad - trate report of this astounding miracle at once was carried cat and wide. The maple were lee to believe that the Nazarene was more than a mere man and was "a teacher come from God." The 'way leas open for a favorable reception in the several places whien he• was 60011 to visit. II. Jesus in a home (vs. 29-34). 29. Ferthwith-Immediately after the canting out of the demon, Jesus, with the four disciplee whom ho had recent- ly called went from the synagogue service to Peter's home (Matt. 8;14), where Andrew also dwelt. 30. Sick of a fever -She was prostrated. Fev- ers were prevalent about Capernaunt on account of the marshy region near. According to the physician Luke it was a "great" fever. Intermittent fever and dysentery the latter often fatal, are ordinary Arabian diseases. - Maclean Anon -"Straightaway." R. V. Tell him of her -The mighty cures which Jesus had already wrought prepared the minds of those Interested to believe that he could cure this woman. 31. Took her by the hand, and lifted her up.--alatthew says, "He touched her hand." Teis, was a token of the application of pow- er. The fever lett her -"He willed, and it was done. . The curative virtue Is in Christ's will, not in instrument- alities." Ministered unto them --Such fevers naturally leave the patient weak and liable to dangerous relapses, arid much time and care are required to recoVer the usual strength. In this ease strength was given immediately. 62. Evea-Evening. Jesus had attend- ed the Sabbeth service in the syna- gogue. The sun had set and the Sab- bath vras over. They brought unto him -Since the Pharisees considered it unlawful to tarry a bed on the Sab- bath, the friends of the sick refrained from bringing them before the close of the Sabbath. Then also It would be cooler than in the heat of the dtiy. Possessed With detaons (R. V.) -A condition in which demons or evil Write took control of the person to such an extent that he Was unable to restrain himself from acts of violence or wickedness. 3:h At the door-At- traoted by the miracles wrought by Jesus. 34. Divers diseases - Many different diseases -Suffered not to speak, because they knew him -Jesus was nott. Willing to have testimony borne to his eilessialiship by deraoria The voice from heaven which always spoke the truth had declared him to Ire the Son of God, and He would not permit lips givi,ng to lying, to testify to his divinity. III. Jona; at prayer (vs, 3547). Early in the morning after the San - bath Jesue awoke toed Went to a re-, tired plaee for prayer. He realieed that It wag iMpOrtant for Hint to hold eatnriettatoil With the Father, Jesus Was possessed of a Iturean nature as Well as a divine, and he eraved tho help the ll'ather only could bestow.

He did teet need to go far from Capernalun to find "a soliterY place" for the Sea of Galilee Is surrounded by aleeated table -lands, cut through her and there by raanteit. Jesuit Moro than ondo retired for pray- er in the region about this sea.

Ther was a directness and certainty abou his utterane,eis that impressed then as something new. His preaching o certainties had its due effect in spirit mil power. His hearers instinctivel felt his doctrine to be true. An inde finable, yet absolute, difference existed between him and the customary teach, ers of the people, It was the problem of his authority which presented itsel to his critics. Taat "anknown quan tity" in Christ was as unmistaltable as it was imnaeasurable and betokened his divinity. The first miracle re- corded in this gospel is the dispos• eession of a demon. It was the means of diffusing an interest in Christ's ministry. II, His design was mains reStoration. "Christianity is the embodiment of the wisdom of the Physician, the power of the Creator and the compassion of Cod." Christ's . work embraced teach.. Ing, the conquest of evil epirits, the healing of human infirmities. The names by which he is known are a monument of his compassion, tho Re- deemer and Saviour. 01 mankind. Clothing men in their right mind, enabfing them to think and act for themselves, and to resist the subtle temptationa to ein formed the greet object of his work. His great and high purpose was one which was far removed from the superficial and worldly hopes of the people, Wher- ever he went, he had a heart sensitive to the appeal of human need, suffering and sin. His hand was outstretched to help and deliver. The• healing of Peter's wife's mother followed the cure of the demoniac in the synagogue. Crowds of suppliants gathered around him and none were to oe disappoint- ed. Among the 'many miracles wrought by the divine Physician upon the minds and bodies of sutfering human- ity, the gospel writers have recorded certain ones as types of the Saviour's spiritual work as well as his benefi- cent ministry of bodily healing. Every class of sufferers seems to represent some epeeial aspect of sin and need and every receded miracle seems to convey some special lesson concerning the Healer's grace and Power. His object was to show himself as the De. liverer and Restorer of ',Inman nature as a whole. At the unfaltering tone of Christ's voice all diseases fled. T. R. A. $ to the tare atiY aro 45).

And the lession that, runs along through all thin is that those who have raised live stock during the past three Years When their neighbors sold oft their stock In the fear that the extreme prices could not teat, have been the ones who pronted bY the steady in- crease in values. When hogs sold at the el2 mark, many men who ha4 been in the breed- ing business for years, believed that their fondest dreams had been reale- ed, and immediately rushed off all available young stink to the saam- bles. Wlien prices mounted to $15 a hundred pounds, herds were gone over again and. marketed even closer. At last, when $20-a price not dreamed of a few years ago -was reached, it found farms throughout the United States and Canada stripping them- selves of valuable (very, very valu- able in view of aubsegatent events) brood sews, MANY UNFINISIIED CATTLE SOLD Live stock raisers absolutely refue- ed to believe that it was possible for primes to remain on these high levels, and in their anxiety to take b.ome some of the run of gold, which had, been discovered at the marketing places for live stock, they shut off the flow at its source. There are thousands of farmers scattered over the great meat pro- ducing belt of North America who are now Joining the ever-increasing pil- grimage to the markets in the hope of being able to pick up hogs of pos- sible breedingequality; hogs far below the quality of those which they sold at prices they now are forced to pay for breeding; and feeding stock. Cattle also have come into the mar- kets in numbers all unwarranted by a more or less close study of world canditions. Producers generally have formed the habit of -selling anything approaching killing condition. The large rens, as the receipts are called In live stock marketing circles, are all toodee:silting of true conditions tha country. During October, 1917, the average weight of cattle at the Chie? ago market was the lowest for seven years, and stood at 9.38 pou.nds. In 1916 producers fed their cattle to an average of 1,024 pounds, and from 1914 to 1911 the average weight of cattle at Chicago was not below the 965 pound mark, no it easily can be seen that while the receipts at the mar- kets have been increasing, the actual number of pounds of meat have been decreasing. Hogs also have been lighter in weight than in former years, due to the fact that producers refused to take chances with markets and wanted profits while they saw them available.

'Substitutes for the high- er priced feeds must be used in in- creased volume. Where in former years producers ef the corn belt of the United States gave OOrxm to their hogs without a thought of cost, now they must give these hogs cheaper substitutes wham will pm the gains on therm Agricultural colleges havo been striving, since corn mounted to unpre- Minted leveis, to find effective feeds to take the place of it, and they have succeded to a wonderful degree. Oats, barley, hay and roughages to it great extent have taken a prominent place in feeding plans. Silage, an experimental feed Of a few years ago, has mire( into general use and has proven one of the great- est blessings to accrue to the benefit of farmers during the last two de - cedes. Corn stalks form a big percent- age of the silage, and this toed former ly went to waste. Every available particle of food must be saved for the production of Ilea stock on the fermi if thie pro duction is to be profitable. No longer can farmers put in it certain number Of hogs, cattle or sheep and feed then1 as formerly without giving a thought to the cost, certaln in the thought ‘that a profit is assured. In the United States reeently the Gevernment gave its pledge that 110 far eut it is able it will not allow the minimuni average price ot hogs to fall below el5.50 per aundred pounds. Talia frank statement of the purPoces of the food administrator has done more to set the country at rest and assured increased production of porn than any other thing during the war, Producers have been willing to take their chances with the law of supply and demand, but for two menthe, Or even tare° menthe, hay° held off from increasing their herds in the fear that the government would set it Price for hogs which they did not believe would allow them to emerge from a feeding season with a profit. To win this war we need more and more meat and to increase meat pro- duction quickly, hog breeding must be increased inaterlally. The United States Department of .A.grieulture has recommended that the various states increase their hogs from 16 to 40 per cent. As a matter of fact the American hog has assumed a place of more Im- portance than wheat and almost as important as American soldiers. The gotiernment of the 'United States has asked that the hog population be in. creased 20,000,0e0 in the shortest pos. sible time. The reason for this is obvious. Pork is the most easily ship- ped or all fooas. Its quality is improv. ed by curing, and bacon and haat are more relished in soldiers' rations than fresh pork. It furnishes more fat than any ether meat. It is for the lack of animal fats that Germans are starving, and this is due to the mistake of islaughtering, hogs by wholesale in Germany during the ferst years of tile war. This mistake Is considered in Gernmny as having dealt that eountry one of the great- est blows that it has suffered. HOME CONSUIVIIPTION IONREASED The shipping problem is so serious that cargoes have been limited to materials having the greatest concen- trated value in the smallest bulk. Pork, having the greatest specific gravity of any meat, therefore is best ,for shipment and, being cured, does not require refrigeration or special -packing. Since the war began there has been a decrease of 82,450,000 hogs in the herds of European countries. In the United States, in the year 1916-17, the hog population was 67,450,000, a slight increase over the three-year average, but 96.1 per cent were slaughtered during the year, as against an average of 86.3 for three years. At the same time exports of pork increased from an average of 992,88; 000 pounds to 1,501.270,000 pound, and consumption of pork products at home increased from 72 to 75 Pounds per capita. The results have been to deplete droves, while at the same time prices have advanced enormously, without, boweven having reduced the consump- tion at Immo. Experts are puzzled to account for the increase in home con- sumption in the face of ever -rising prices. In the 'United States this year there will be 1,000,0e0 bushels more of stock feed, than last year. 'With this fact before the farmers, together with the assurance from the government that a high average price will be maintain - •ed, it appears tone up to them to "do their bit." Since Europe has been in the war live stock of every description has been slaughtered in increasing num- bers. Trouble has been encountered In bringing in feed for the stock and, as a consequence, live stock producers of other years have slaughtered their herds rather than 'Me a ehanee of not having feed to "make meat." Then, men , who never before ate meat, at three meals per day now are haring the privilege. "An army advan- ces on its stomach,' and wise govern- ments know that meat should form a big portion of the ration of fighting men. AlVIERICAN HOGS FOR CANADA..

These "singeing" hogs are it long, rangy hog, weighing from 179 te 230 pounds. Buyers are rather insiseeet that the hogs weigh right emend 20O pounds. These hogs, because of their length, are solely bittenhogu. 'or are shipped to Canada after they have been singed and their heads and feet cut off. A quarter of it eentury ago there was considerable trade in hogs 01 this type, but 'he emend gradually SIUMP- ea off mail ten eaers ago it was very small. The larger pecking plants of the United States made it specialty of preparing bacon sides for shipment abroad, With the advent of the war, Canadian buyers revived this demand, and now are taking enormous ambers of hogs of this type. The price paid for them is generally near the top of the market, because of the bacon value of the animal. During the last three months in the United Stine, the price of hogs has been, oil an average, more than twice U much as tho average pried for the five years front 1911 to 1915. Pigur- ing or. this basis there would act seem to be a cloud on the heti:toe for the hog producer, Showing the condition of thedattle Industry in the United States, Can - adieu steers established a record top .price of $16 a hundred pounds tea the Clacago market. These ethers were n0 better than thousand a and tens or thousands of steels which have came from Canada in former years and sold for half the rnaney and even less. There is no secret made in live stook circles at an alarming shortage ot beef animals. Stock has been coining to the market which by all means should have beea kept batik for m -ore poundage In some eases, and lor breeding in others. Last winter the West experienced the most severe weather in its history, so far as live etock is eoncerned, nad this year saw herds already depleted by winter hill, sold closer as bee ei be- came scarcer and scarcer, 3tIaty Is selling at well above the $20 mark, and those of the 'Western men who. etaged in the game, sold off all surplai snick that they might go through the winter with the smallest possible number of animals to feed, because of the goon mous feed bills they were certaia to encounter. Previous to title $16 mark established for Canadian cattle, $11 a hundred had been the top pries, and this price had attracted much cattle. The top price for native beef tattle for all time was establiahed this (:ear at $17.90. With the corn belt strip- ped of feeding stock, because of the betterthan42-price for corn, and with the western ranges short of their nor- mal quota of cattle, it appears that this wiater and next spring will un- cover a shortage which Will geed prices to levels above the $20 mart. Cattle feeders of the corn belt, who in former years have depended attire. ly upon the 'West for feeding steers, found the supply &tut off 'before they were prepare.a to stock their fetus last. fail, and made greater purchasers proportionately, at 'Canadten steers, than ever before. Anything wearing a hide has been in clemend for almost a year now at the markets, and this winter and next spring it would seem that the demand will be qven greater. The top price paid for native eaves was $16, while western. lambs sold for $20,60 on the open mitaket and spring lambs sold for e21. The extreme raege of pieces which wise farmers have been getting for their sheen has forced many farmers into the game, who -jut former years never had a sheep on the place. Thousands of farms in the United States which neer had a "golden hoof" on them, now have their flocks and are showing big profits on them, • A bONti• OF CHEER.

DEADLY STORM * SWEEPS SOUTH •••••••••••••••••••••• yowl" Sixteen Known Dead, and 100 Injured, And Coast States Shivering in Snow. Atlanta, Ga., report: With the en- tire south in the grip of its worst snow and sleet storm of the winter to -day, early reports show that torna- cams which swept through Eastern Alabama and Central Georgia ...,had taken a toll of sixteen lives, and in- jured More than 100 persons. Wire communication over it gnat area was paralyzed, scores of small towns in the interior beiug isolated, while Sav- annah, Charleston, Jacksonville and other cities along the South Atlantic coast were cut off from outside come municatiou. The deaths and injuries reported early to -day were as tolloWs: .Cowarts, Ala. -Seven kilted and 26 injured. Dothan. Ala. --Sir children killed and forty inured in collapse of a school house in the country near Do. than. Webb, Ala. -One killed and estimat- ed 70 injured in destruction of store and other buildings. Troy, Ala. -Ono killed and several injured. Macon, Ga. -One killed at Camp Wheeler aud several injured. The cold wave, that extended as far south as Florida, was preceded by an unusually low baeometrie pres- sure, 28,98 being recorded at Knox- ville late yeeterday, while thunder- storms and lighting accompanied a heavy snowfall at Asheville, N.

The (mid wave, combined with a virtual fuel famine in nearly evere sectinn of the south. was ev.peeted to add ereatly to suffering already re- ported. *e o WHY GERMANY FORGED AHEA.
