Jairue by uame-alt is but lately we
know the names of thoee who were tl:e
objeeta of the Savior's mercy. Ito et
terward probably W418- OM, of those who
eame to elle Lord pleading for the Coe-
turion at Capernaunt (Luk( 7:3). then
aid he then ,asked for another he now
eraves. for himself, bat under the pre -
use of a still greater calamity. -Mac-
lean He may have beeu one of the rul-
ers of the syeagogne built by the Roman
centurion (Luke 7:5). Ho fell at hie
feet. ----He prostrated him2el2 before
jesus after the oriental custom.
23. Besought him greatly-Jairue'
need Was great and his entreaty was
,urgent. My little daughter -Luke says,
"He had only one daughter about 12
years of age" (8:42). The diminutive
is often ueed to expreas endearment. At
the point of death -When the father
/eft, her she was almost gone, and the
ease wee eonsidered hopeless, 6in 111AL
the expression used by 'Matthew, "even
nosy dead," expressed the father'.3
thought regarding his child. "She had
been given over when her father left
her, and actually was dead before he
eould return. tre might, therefore,
when he applied to Christ, fear that she
was at thia time dead, and e,xpress his
belief of it."-Doddridge. Luke says
she "lay a dying." There is no contra-
diction between these records when we
take into account all the statements
made by the three evangelists. Come
end lay thy hands on her -Christ could
heal ae well without coming into actual
coutact with the afflicted one, but us-
ually he touehed the one diseased. Jair-
ee seems to have thought that power
would be applied to the sick one by the
laying on of hands. His anxiety was for
the recopery of his daughter. She shall
live -There was not only desire on the
ruler's part, but faith also. He believed
that, if jesus would come into contact
with the child, she would. be restored.
24. Jesus went with him -The fact that
Jesus went with Jairus indicates three
things: 1. He was undaunted by the
severity of the ease. 2. Ile was ready
to respond to huumn need. S. He wee
to give a lesson in faith. Much people
...thronged hizzi-Juirus' request must
have become known throughout the
company about Jesus, and they were
eager to, see what Jesus would do.
11. A woman healed (vs. 25-34.) A re-
markable event interrupts the narrative
about the rultr's daughter, and. a, ming-,
cle is wrought on the way to Jairue'
home. We do not know who this Ivo:
man was whose faith moved her to
touch Jesus' garment. Eusehins records
the tradition that she was a Gentile.
The- fact that she had been afflicted for
twelve years, and, although she had em-
ployed every means possible to be cured,
she was growing worse, show e the seri-
ousness of her infirmity. She felt that,
if she could simply come in contact with
the garment of Jesus, the healing power
would be applied, and she was ready to
do her pert that the longed -for healing
might be obtained. She touched his
garment and was instantly made whole.
Although Jesus knew who touched him
and laid been healed, he asked, "Who
touched my clothes?" that attention
might be called to her, and that her
faith might be eommended and encour-
aged.
III. The ruler's child raised from the
dead (vs. 35-43.) 35. Thy daughter is
dead-Sairns' worst fears were realized.
He had expressed great faith in Jesus,
and that faith was now put to the test.
Why troublest thou the Master -The
word denotes to "weary," or "fatigue,"
with the length of the entreaty. The
messengers had given up all hope of the
ehild's restoration, but Jaires did not
dismiss the Moder nor obteet to his
proceeding to bis home. 30. Pe not
ngraid, only believe--Theee words of
Jesus were enough to aesure the heart
of every one to whom they are address-
ed. 37. Peter, and (Tante'4, and John -
These three formed the
inner circle of
Jesus' disciples, They were with him
the following year at the transfigure -
tion and later in Gethsemane. These
disciples had .won tide high regard of
their Master by their noble devotion to
him, and they were to be witnesses to
the mighty miracle about to be wrought.
38. Them that wept and wailed -These
were hired mourners, who were Recoil•
tomede to make greet outcry in lament,.
ing the death of those for whom they
mourned. There were present "min-
strels" (Matt. 9: 23), or flute players,
who Ina,de mournful music upon such. oc-
casions. The friends of the family had
no expectation of the child's restoration,
:M. Not dead, but sleepeth--She is not
dead so as to continue under the power
of death, but shall be raised from it at
a person from natural sleep. -Clarke. It
emirmon among many nations to
epeak of death as a sleep. 40. Laughe'l
him to seotn--They did not share the
faith of joints.
IL In the Gilent chamber of death.
There ie a point at which all human
might beeomee utter weakness. Noth-
ing short of an absolute. eonviction
Jeette9 power to heal would have drawn
Jaime from the bedside of his dying
ehild. The woman'condition. touch
and cure, must have revealed to Jaime
the love and compassion of Jesus for all
who suffered. H Could not he smelt eir-

Questions, -Who came to Jesus? What
requeet did he make? How did he show
his faith in Jamie? Deserlbe the miracle
performed by Jesus while on the way to
Iheouler's house. Haw was faith shown
by the women? What words of encour-
agement did. Jesus speak to her 'What
meesage carne to the ruler evhile he was
on his way home? What was taking
place at the ruler's house when Jeans
arrived? What miratle did he pertorm
eller his arrival? Who witnessed the
raising of the girl to life?
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
To,pic.-Faith Developed.
1. Before a wondering multitude.
11, in the silent chamber of death,
1. Before a Wondering, multitude.
3airus the ruler and th.e afflicted woman
wore not in the crowd as mere "wonder -
ere." They were in deep distress and
oonght help from Jesus. The ruler had
gained the attention of the Master and
was escorting him to' the bedside of
hie only daughter. He had. enjoyed
1 weave happy years with the ehildren,
when death seemed certain., and his only
hope was that Jeans would heal her.
The woman who sought the Mater had
eaffered twelve years with hope for re-
covery growing less and her circum-
stances approaching want, Her knowl-
edge of Christ. had awakened hope, which
grew into faith that she might yet re-
cover her health. She believed that one
touch would be sufficient, if only she
could make the crowd serve to conceal
titer attempt. But the ruler end the
timid woman were wanting in the full
surrender of trust. Both had to be set
free from fear and despondeney. The
woman believed that the slightest con-
-bleb with Jesus would heal her. She for-
got herself, her suffering, her fear of
the crowd, and pressed near to Jesus.
That was the vanishing point of all her
difficulties. Her healing was immediate.
Her touch was a voluntary and inten-
tional touch, and she was the one in all
that crowd who was blessed. dhotis was
conscious of her touch and knew her
faith. He enabled her to overcome her
timidity and fear of men, and exalted
her above all who eurrounded her, eo
that her faith broke into open profes-
sion. It 1V:16 not in mere assertion of
His authority that Jesus called the wo-
Mall forth. It was to strengthen her
faith that she might conferee hint every-
where, it was also to confirm lier heal-
ing beforeall. The miracles of Christ
1.\•erethe settle, which God. gave to His
imesion. His first sentence may have
rouged dismay in the poor woman's
heart. It required the second to com-
plete the meaning of the first. She came
for healing and he added spiritual enter!,
to complete the blessing,.
TO HARVEST CROPS
Government to Md in Get-
ting Farm Help.
...or •• •
Winnipeg, Aug. 12. -In the course of
an interview to -day, the Hon. Robert
Rogers, Minister of the Interior, said:
"1 am keeping in pretty close
touch with the labor situation in the
West, so far as it relates to the need
of harvest help, and the heartiest co-
operation of the Interior Department
and its staff in meeting the demand
may be relied upon. I have remained
over in Winnipeg for several days to
attend to this matter particularly, and
am giving it my personal attention,
111 forzner years the Interler Depart-
ment took little more than a passive
interest in the question of the supply
of harvesters. This year, and in the
retire, every effort will be put for-
ward by our department to help hi
providing for the eonstantly increas-
ing demand for farm help coming
from all over the West during har-
vest time.
"At least 50,000 men will be re-
quired to harvest this year's erop in
the three Prairie Provinces. The City
of 'Winnipeg will probably provide
about 6,0OO of these, The one cent a
znile rate from Winnipeg to all parts
of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
berta is already having a gotd effect,
and I anticipate that this number of
harvesters will be sent from the city.
The great bulk,- however, must come
from Eastern Canada and the border
States on the ()thee side of the line.
Special efforts will be Made to attract
an unusually large number of farni
workers front the Eastern Provinces,
including, of Course, Nova Scotia and
New trunswiek. 1 am inclined to
oonsider favorably, advertising in the
United States for harvest help, Poe-
eibly from 8,000 to 10,000 good loot
might be secured from Kanas, Iowa,
Indiana/ and Illinois, Where the har-
vest is rather early.
"In any caee, special efforts will be
made by the Interior Departnient to
deal with the harvest situation, and
/ am !Inclined to believe that in the
neer few weeks the railway com-
p:inlet; with whom we are co.oPerat.
ieg in this matter and ourselves will
be able to meet pretty Inily the an-
ticipated demand."

Coercion Will Not Subdue
the Movement.
Loudon, Ang. Womeuhe Social
and Politieal Union, the headquarter
of the militant suffragette movement,
issued a statement to -day regarding the
eentencee pronounced ou Mary Leigh,
who was sent to hut for five years for
wounding John Redmond, leader of the
Irish Parliamentary party, with, a hatch-
et she had thrown at Premier .Asquith.
Olt Gladys Evans, who was also sentenc-
ed to five years' imprisonment for set-
ting fire to the Theatre Royal, Dublin,
and on Lizzie Baker, who was given sev-
en neontlad imprisonment as an accom-
plice of Gladys, Evan.
The union defies the authorities, call-
ing the sentences an outrage, which wea
not devised as a punishment to fit the
offense, but to terrorize other women
The judgehint that the sentences
would be remitted if the women's mill -
tent tactics were abandoned constitotee,
says the statement, a bribe which could
not 'be aecepted without disloyalty to
the cause. It contin-ue:
"Coercion may be effective in dealing
with the unionist lenders, and other re-
belJ3. of the present day, but it will never
subdue the members of the 'Women's
Social and Political Union. While de-
mending- the releaee of their eomradee,
they reserve the right to continue its
pollee* of militancy until the Govern-
ment abandons its present policy of
triekery and evasion."

GOT A FEED
German Soldiers' Trick at
Masked Ball.
Berlin, Aug,L2.-eAn amusing story or an
incident at a masked ball, given in the
capital of one of the smaller German
principalities, is being told in Berlin.
The rule priated on the in.vitation
cards was that every one must come eat:-
er in fancy dress or a Iblack domino.
In one ef the rooms of the Palace a
buffet rneal was set out. The attend-
ants soon noticed the unusually active
appetite of on.e of the guests, duly mask-
ed and cloaked, who consumed extraor-
dinarily large quantities of the more exe
pensive delicacies and wines. After sev-
eral minutes of vigorous eatine; he would
leave the buffet and disappear among
the throng of dancers. Soon, however,
he would be back again, with an appe-
tite apparently as strong as ever. 9
Atter his fourth visit the head wailer
called the attention of the master of cer-
emonies to the matter. He waited at thc
buffet until the maeked stranger hag
