Multitudes Seeking Josue (vs. 30-34), 30. apostles gathered. Following the missiou upon whieh Jesue lied sent hie disciples, they eame together, told him all thinge-Their re- port is not reeorded as in the case of the seventy sent out later, 'We can im- agine that the twelve told Jesus where they went, the truths they taught, the eaees of healieg under their ministry and the treatment received from those among whom they labored. It is natural that they should deeire to give Jolts an account of their miasion. 31. come ye youreelves apart -.After the mission with its responsibilities A70 labors was finish- ed, and the news of the death of John the Baptist had mew to the dieciplee, it seemed best to Jesus to spend a little season alone with his disciples. The only reason here given for this desired retire- ment is expreesed in the words, "And rest a while," but in Matthew 14:13 there is an intimation that the death of John prompted Jesus to withdraw for a time from his public labors, lest Herod might attempt to take his life also. a desert place -An uninhabited. region, not necesearily a barren. district, many coin. ing and going -The Passover was now nigh at hand (John 0:4) and the pilgrim eompanies would be on the move toward the holy city.; ----Cam.

The people were anxious to see him, the report of whose works was *epread. abroad. 32. departed....privately-They went in. a northeasterly direction across the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida-Julifts, place just outside the juriediction of Herod. Antipas in the tetrarehy of Herod Philip. By crossing the lake Jesus would. be alone with disciples for a short time at le.aet, and it would seem ae if the resired retirement might be secured. 33. saw them -knew him-iNlany had never seen Jesus, while others had heard his teaehings and had seen his works, and therefore knew him. ran afoot -As the people saw the boat departing and the direction it was taking, they ran around the head of the lake, perhaps keeping the boat in sight all the way. come together unto him -The eager mul- titudes from "all cities" were ready to meet Jesue and hie disciples as they dis- embarked. 34. came out -From the boat, moved. with comp,aesion-The spir- itual needs of the people would appeal to his mercy, and their eagerness to ap- proach him would intensify that appeal. as sheep not having a shepherd -This is an, expressive figure when we consider how helpless and exposed. to danger was a shephordless flock in that country. The people had no epiritual help from. the priests. Their religious leaders were characterized by our Lord. as "blind lead- ers." began to teach them many things -Luke adds, "Of the kingdom" (9, 14a, and Matthew sue he "healed their sick" (14:d4). The sought -for rest was not realized, but many needy and afflicted. persons were relieved. IL Multitudes hungry (vs, 35-38.) 35. The day was now fur spent. This was the first of the two evenings, then recogniz- ed, beginning at 3 o'clock. The second evening began at sunset, His disciples .... said -Only a part of the conversa- tion between Christ and his disciples is recorded by Mark. We may suppose that the full account is to be gathered by combining the records of the four evangelists. 36. Send them away -The disciples saw the neees of the people, pitied them and planned for their relief with all the foresight they possessed. In speaking thus to Jesus, his disciples re- cognized his authority and his ability to command. the multitudes. 37. Give ye them to eat-jesus realized the fact that the people were hungry. Their earn- estnees had prompted them to neglect their physical needs. He wee determined to relieve them ,and also to teach his disciples, and multitudes and the world a lesson. The disciples were cemmanded to giVe what they did not have, but Jesus was about to show them that he could make it possible for them to fulfil •his commands. Shall we go and buy - 'They had not yet even Jesus feed the multitudes by increasing. an insignificant store of provisions, and no other way of providing the amount necessary occurred to them. Two hundred pennyworth -A penny was the Greek "denarius," equi- valent to about sixteen cents of our money, and would then buy as inueh a dollar or more with us. 38. How many loaves have ye -Jesus was answering their question. They must have been as- tonished at the suggestion that there was food enough on hand to meet the demands of the hungry multitudes. Five end two fishes -The loaves were circu- lar, flat and ebout an inch thick. Three loaves would make a, meal for one per- son. These were barley loaves (John D), the food of the poorest classes. Two hundred pence would buy, abont five thotteand loaves. Andrew brought lo jesus the answer to hie question and asked. "Bile what are they among so ineny?" (John (3: 0). III. Multitudes fed (vs. 39-44)., 39. Sit down by companics-An orderly arrange- ment was essentiak on aecount of the great ntimber to be fed, that there might be no crowding, and that 110116 might be overlooked.

Wyelifts trattelation ie "By parties." By hundred% and. by fiftiee-Some of the ranks contained. oue hundred persons and eome fifty. It is thought by some that the exproseion means that there were one eundred groutie of fifty persons each or fifty groups of one hundred persons eat!). 41.

"Come...and rest" There were two classes to whom the invitation was given, those inournieg at the death of John the Baptist, and the apoetles who had ,just returned from a difficult mis- sion and desired to make full report of their teaching and. work. Christ him- self was deeply affected by John's death. He had been a faithful herald, giving his life to nuegnify Christ. Rest was recognized. by Christ as a neceseity for man. It is intended to exercise a wholesome influence on the character, It is needed for the nurture of mind and spirit, as well as body. The mind, must at times look away from things, 116 well as at them if it is to discern elearly and aoundly. The rest to which Jesus. led them was to prepare them for further work. They needed to come into closer eonserse. with the l'efaster. Retirement is i.seential to the growth of true piety, and yet no't alone by solitary medita- tions or raptures of silent communion with Christ can spiritual life be strong and deep, but by earnest work for him in the world, As the Master and His diseiples were interrupted by the multi- tude a new feature of work necessary to the development of the disciples open- ed. before them. Christ's mourning for the dead was changed into compassion for the living. He always took the broad and inclusive view, ancl steadily held to his work, so that individual in- tanees of affliction did not deject or hinder hien. The multitude saw Jesus, knew him and. ran to reach him. He saw them and pitied them, His compassion was real, deep and operative. Christ honored the imperfect zeal and confue- ed notions which the people held. con- cerning him. They were seeking him in preference to earthly comfort, and evi- deneed a confidence in him which he did uot disappoint. When. the people were in trouble or in need, Jesus never raised the question to, race or religion. His eompa.ssion never spent itself on good advice. When Christ displays his mighty power. Jesus "was moved. with compas- sion toward' them...and he began to teaeli them many things." The people had intruded, yet Jesus was not disap- pointed or annoyed. He endured the world pressure of surrounding humanity in. all its phaees. In the people we see a striking representation. of the moral condition of the human family. In, the provision for their hunger we see an exhibition of the blessings of the gos- pel. In the distribution of food we see the nature of the office of the Christian ministry. In the abundance of remaining fragments. we see 'the boundleseness of gospel supplies. The miracle as whole is a type of gospel provieions for the souls of men, an em- blem of the work of the church in this world. .All race% all ages, from the gray-haired to innocent of childhood, may find in Christ food for their souls. 2,Tor shall the supply fail until all na- tions have been refreshed. The power was in the hands of Jesus. The food though supernaturally provided, was 'carried. to the hungry by ordinary means. The disciples had to learn the absolute. dieproportionate between the moue at their command an.d the need of the crowd. It is when the power of man is confessedly inadequate that CYarist interposes. The disciplee brought to Christ the result of their efforts, the five loaves and. two fishes, and in his hands they multiplied exceedingly. Jesus here manifest(' himself as 'the sustainer of dife, but he employed men to minister to men, thereby teachine our dependence upon one. another. 1114 taught respect for his reinieters as they act on his behalf. The miracle as to time and place encourages confidence in Christ in the raoet tryinv desti, T.. Rs A- tute situati OP A . ; FATAL TORNADO Three Killed In Storm Near Syracuse.

General wholesale and retail trade is good, with collections fair. A large amount of shipping is be- ing done and the demand for ocean space continues good despite the unusually high freights existing. ' Toronto: General revival in both wholesale and retail business, There has been little falling off from the ac- tivity in trade since the exhibition, and the outlook is for a good. moveraent in most lines during the autumn. Winnipeg: As crop prospects become more assured, confidence LS growing and trade is improving. While banks are restricting loans for speculative pur- poses, there is little fear that moderate accommodations for legitimate business expansions will not be provided by the banka. Vancouver and. Victoria: Business generally active. The shipping trade is particularly active, both incoming and outgoing steamers carrying record. car- goes of merchandise. Exports of grain, flour, lumber, salmon and whale oil. have been large. Retail trade in produce and other lines continues good. Hamilton: A fair trade paesing, with collections fairly good. Fruit and vege- tables are offering freely on the market. The canning industries have fair receipts and are doing increased business. Real estate continuo active. London: Retail business is active. Re- ceipts on the market are fair, although not up to normal. Quebec: Business generally speaking shows no unusual activity over the pre- ceding week.

The Government has taken action with a view to giving the High schools, Continuation schools and Collegiate Institutes of Ontario teachers qualified to give instruction in agriculture, and if need be in science and some of the classes in the general programme, teachers who will be able to take upon their shoulders some of the teaching that the district representa- tives of the Department of Agriculture are now trying to do in addition to the praetical work they must carry on in their districts. It was five years ago that the De- partments of Education and Agricul- ture tpintly adopted. for the counties a scheme of agricultural education under which gradualles of the Ontario Agricul- tural College are appointed to assiett and direct farmers and to teach agriculture in'the High and Continuation schools and the Collegiate Institutee. .As dis- trict repreeentatives of the Department of Agriculture the graduates have been doing splendid work, but they have not been Go snecessful as teachers in the schools, partly owine• to the pressure of their other duties an% partly to the dif- ficulties connected with arranging for their elasses in the time -table of the schools. The Department of Education bus come to the conclusion that in or. der to secure for the subject of agri- culture its due share of attention the teacher must be a regular member of the ,school class. The IIONV arrangement will give the district representatives more time to deeeharge their duties as officer& of the Department of Agriculture, and they will, in addition, eonduct under the school board. concerned, classes for farm- ers and farmers' sons throughout the country. A FOUR YEARS' COURSE. According to the announcement by Sir James Whitney yesterday, as Act- ing Minister of Agriculture, the courses outlined will be -provided next session at the universities and the college. Students in attendance at the univer- sity who have already completed the two years' course prescribed may enter the agricultural college for the remain- ing two years' study when it opens in October. After a yepr's ,professional training at either of the facultiee of education the • holder of the new degree which has been established-baehelor of mice in agriculture -will be granted a epecialist's eertificate in science and thering the suc- agier.sircAtilituare.view to fur cess of the scheme the Government will give at the end' of each of the two years taken at the Ontario Agricultural Colle,ge, a scholarship of $100 to each eandidate for the degree who passes the final examination of the year, and is recommended therefor by the presi- dent of the college. Moreover, as eoon as the new elase of !specialists is avail- able, the Government will continue for the secondary .schools the policy it has adopted succeesfully in the ease of the Public sehools; it will make liberal grants for the encouragemet t ciaGses in agriculture in the High and. Continuation Schools and the Collegiate Institutes, in the form of contributions to their maintenanee and additions to the teacher& salario. Since the appointment of a director, agricultural teaehing in the Publie schoole has made rapid progress. Sehool gardeas are being provided, and classes are being established all over the Prov- ince,. The provision set forth for High schools rounds off a. complete scheme of Publie and High school eduaation in agriculture, and the prospects are filet in a few years the subject will take an im- portant plaee in the programmes of the Provineial sehoole. AN AGRICULTURAL READER. To further the study of this subject, tbe Department of Edoeation is prepar- ing an Agricultural Reader for the Pub- lic and Separate schoole of the same general character as the Form IL His- tory and Geography Readers. The book will not be a text -book, but will convey in an intere8ting form information which every farmer'e son should poesese, and which will be valuable in connection with the practical work done in tho £1011001S. - • TORONTO PROMOTER ARRESTED.
