INTERNATIONAII LESSON' 'AUGUST 18. , Lesson ...VIL--The rider's"' daughter', , Mark 5. 21,43... Golden , . Text,, Mark 5. AL Verse 21. grossed over again - Immediately after healing the de- mouiac on the eastern shore of the Lake of Galilee, Jesus and his dis- ciples returned to the western shore. Mark; in characteristic fashion interweaves the incident of healing into his narrative. He dees not follow the chronology given in Matthew 9. 1-18, but seems to se- lect incidents Which he considers of great importance. 22. Falleth at his.feet-Though a distinguished citizen and of digni- fied social' position, his parent grief brought him M self -humiliation to the feet of Jesus. 23. My little daughter -Accord- ing to Luke 8. 42, an only daugh- ter. At the point of death -Luke re- cords that she "was dying." .24. Thronged him --Crowded close about him. The narrative is interrupted at this point by the incident of the healing of the woman with an is- sue of blood, verses 25 to 34. Al- though Jairus's case was urgent, Jesus took time to honor the faith of the woman who touched his garment. However, the interrup- tion has. the literary 'value of sus- taining and °intensifying the inter- est in the main narrative. 35. While he yet spake-To the woman who touched his garment. Why troublest thou 1 -This may represent a subtle effort on the part of Jairus's aristocratic friends te have nothing further to do with the Galilaean peasant. It is more likely, however, that the question was the result of their belief that the child was past restoration and further eolicitation . would cause Jesus useless trouble. 36. Not heeding the word -Or, overhearing. Jesus overheard what was not addressed to him and paid no attention to it. Fear not, only believe -An exhor- tation to,..steady, unwavering faith in the face of the aparentlY greater difficulty. Here, as in many other places, faith is represented as the condition upon which the inira,ele is to be effected. In other instanc- es, such as the healing of the wo- man with an issue of blood (verses 25-34), the condition of the healing is personal faith. In this instance it is substantial faith. The child is dead, so that she has no power to believe, but the father's faith is ac- cepted as sufficient ground for re- storation of her life. 37. Peter, and James; and John -Jesus's "inner circle" of friends who were with him at the trans- figuration (Mark 9. 2) and in Geth- semane (14. 33). Only the three dis- ciples were taken, that the strictest secrecy might be maintained con- cerning this unusual miracle. It had been the habit of Jesus on numerous occasions 'th enjoin sec- recy in regard to his miracles, his object being to avoid as much as possible the unwelcome notoriety which they produced. Yet he de- sired that some of the disciples should have the benefit of such a lesson. 38. Weeping and wailing greatly -The lamentation of hired mourn- ers, the number and commotion of which had inereased • to meet the requirements of the family's social standing. 39. Not dead, but sleepeth-Sleep was a common symbol of death. The statement did not in any sense de- tract from the reality of death. Jesus uttered it in the conscious- ness that he would raise the child to life again. . • 40. Laughed him to scorn -The conduct of the hirvi mourners, who knew the girl th be dead. Put thein all forth -Except the five mentioned, 41. Talitha curei-The actual Ara- maic words which Jesus spoke, meaning "Maiden, arise." Re- corded only by Mark. 42. Straightway --The return to life was effected instantly. 43. No man should know - The report of such a miracle woulcl• so increase the popularity of Jesus among the people and create a cor- responding hatred among the Jew- ish leaders as to hinder the more important work of teaching the principles of the Kingdom.

The'Citrs Hotel AchitinmoclatIon-FISMring, on Who'll be the Neat Mayors:e.- ..14„"iiSfer Ekoilrelons. Attention is being called to i3Toronto's lack 'of hotel accommodation. omplaint is made that we are losingtourist busi- ness, conventions and other . gaiterings. 'which bring business to 'the merchants. because. We do not provide' places to Sleep and eat. Certainly in the hist seven or eight years since the Xing Edward Hotel -was, oompleted, in a period when this eitY has iooreased in population by over filtY Per cent., there bee been comparatively little increase In the hotel accoranioda. The question has zest becianse inter. twined in it ie the problem Of liquor licen- ses. No 'doubt the liquor mon are making the most of the lack of accommodation. They pay it is clue to the insecurity of the license situation. Not only do they criticize such radioal propoeale as Mr, Rowell's "Abolish the Bar" platform, but local 'option and -license reduction cam. paigfis are also to them an anthema. Ryan if the bar is not abolished at one fell • swoop they fear that one of thene day we may have a local option oampaign in Toronto, and they are not sure what the result would be. HOTEL CAPITAL SHY. THE.BEST IF YOU WANT THE BEST COAL AND PROMPT DE- LIVERY, SECURE YOUR SUPPLy FROM US. ORDERS LEFT AT DAVIS & ROWLAND'S HARD- WARE STORE PROMPTLY ATTENDED TO. J. W. STEVENSON Every little while a story is, circulated Shat 801310 one is prepared .to spend a million dollars or more in a new palatial hotel, but that they are prevented from doing so by the instability of the license situation'. There M an excellent site for a hotel at the corner of Bay and Front streets, unbuilt Imola since the fire, and opposite the site of the new Onion Sta- tion. • With the retail business moving up Yonge street there would seem to be an opening in that district. While the extreme north endo with. its increasing railway businees, also looks attractive. But the hotel naen's capital is timid. Temperance people deolare that hotels- bie hotels in big cities -can be made to PaY Without liquor licenses. The beet examples in support of this theory are, perhaps, to be found in Atlantic City, al- though it is doubtful if anyone needs to go dry in Atlantic Oity, even if be is staying at a temperance house, No doubt, some of the big Toronto hotels make big money out of their liquor licenses. Ace cording to rumor, the profits of the King Edward bar are almost' fabulous, and some of the others do a rushisg trade. In others, such as the Queen's, the operations of the bar are more incidental. But in the vast majority of the 110 liceneed ho- tels in the city the bar is the aief in- dustry. They provide only roma and meals to keep within the law. In fact, in some you might always find all the rooms "full," a,nd if you naked for a meal you might not be refused it, but you might have to wait an hour for it. There is admittedly a lack of middle- class hotel accommodation. In this To. ronto suffers like all big cities. The man from the average home finde when he travels that he either has to pay for luxury that be does not want, or that he has to put up with uncomfortable rooms and distasteful food. WHO'LL BE NEXT MAYOR? Though the municipal elections are still almost five months away, mayorMtY Can' didates are already jockeying for position. It has been assumed that Mayor,,,Oleary will not again seek reelection. He has had three years of it, which, under or- dinary circumstances, is supposed to be enough for any man. The last two terms he has bad on easy terms: Mat election lie had no oppoeition and the year before no really serious opponent. But the Mayor's chair he attained in the first place only by hard struggles. The first time he was a candidate he offered him- self as a lamb for the slaughter. That was in the historic fight that Dr. Beattie Nesbitt made for the position. Nesbitt'e opponent was Joseph Oliver, a Liberal. Nesbitt was beating the party drum for all he was worth, and would certainly have beaten Oliver in a sidgle contest. Recognizing this, influential Conservatives who did not relish the idea of Nesbitt in the city's chief magisterial position in- duced Geary to run, with the almost open- ly avowed purpose of splitting the Con- servative vote, Ho that Oliver would be elected. The plan worked, and it is G. R. Geary Toronto has to thank for keeptng Dr. Nesbitt out, of the Mayor's chair in the days when the Farmers' Bank was just getting under way. THE HOOKEN.GEARY FEND.

ENT TEACIIIN The Future was to be the Messianic Age Holy and Marked by the Presence of God Israel was a nation of hope and, promise. Unlikeother peoples its golden age was in the future, not in the paet. From the earliest be- ginning of national eonaciousness it was a gradually developing belief Shat Israel had a special mission, separate from the rest of the world, yet in seine irnpertant degree con- nected with the spiritual life of the world. The divine purpose for hu- manity was believed to lie implicit in the unfolding hihtory of this peo- ple. • The Hebrew records preserved She first promise made th the race, a prornise that, though the struggle between geed and evil should be 'long and bitter, yet in the ,end he good should triumph. This diviee purpose manifested itself in the se- lection of eertain individuals or tribes, through whose life the dis- closure of the plans of God was to king. Yet the vision was true, for be made. Bub it was not a selec- the larger outlines of the Messianio time yet ahead fttted in no small degree the local distress and the certainly unforeseen deliverance. It remained for a later prophetic ut- terance to set forth soon to dawn, and tinder whose leadership as a commerer, and yet a prince of peace the national de- liverance' was to be achieved, after which there would come She period o happiness and peace, That Isaiah expected this ehilel,king of the house of David in his own nay • . i seenas certain; and herein s dis- c osed one of the interesting factors o prophecy. The outlines of the coining of things were apparent th the eyes o the prophet, but the hour of the arrival was not so clear. The 'dra- ma, of redemption was contracted into a single scene, but ite larger meaning lay inaplicit in the slowly unfolding movements upon which - they looked. Deliverance from As- syria came, but not through the rise at that time of the Mesaiania than for favor, but rather for ser- vice. Israel was the chosen people of God; but not for its own sake. It had a ministry for the world. Its leaders were prophets, priests, and kings, and these men, especially the prophets, Were unique in their char- acter and work. Their cottraerpart is not to be found in any other his- tory. I3ut in the last analysis the nation as a whole was regarded as royal, as priestly, as prophetic. What these special men did as lead- ers for the nation, Israel as a unit was to do for the world. *Herein lay its unique office, But from the time of Amos and Hosea it was seen that the nation as a whole was un- prepared for such a ministry. The religion of Jehovah was set aside too often for that of other gods, or was mixed with unworthy elements Shat robbed it of its effectiveness. A CLEANSING PROCESS alone could purify the people and make them worthy of their high ministry; and the agency through which this regeneration was to be wrought was recognized by all the prophets of that period as being national overthrow by Assyria and later Babylonia. Only such a puri-. &Miran as should come through dis- aster and suffering could avail to prepare Israel or its true mission. But alter this period of suffering had passed the "remnant" or sur- vivors woudd be worthy and a glori- ous future should be expected. The consecration of kings and priests was signified by their anoint- ing with holy, oil. From this word "anointed" or "Messiah" grew up the idea of the Suture glorious time as "anointed" or "Messianic." The conception of a person who should stand as the common denominator of the new -period of national salva- tion and purification is first pre- sented by Isaiah. In his rebuke of King Ahaz for presumptious disre- gard of God the prophet announces the birth of a child, in whose day, Some might have been afraid of the loss of prestige which a defeat would briug, but it did not work out that way in Geary's case. When Oliver relinquished the office, Controller Hocken aspired to the succeseion. Under other eircumstanc. es, Hocken might have beaten Geary, for his sources of strength in the Conserva- tive party were much the same, and ap- parently about equally as etrong as Geary'e, and he had many influential friends among the Liberals. But the Lib. orals who don't expect many of the sweets of office in Toronto remembered Geary's service to Oliver and there is little doubt that in the etrenuous struggle that re- sulted Liberal votes decided the issue. That was three years ago. 'After a year's absence from Council -Mr. Hocken returned to the Board of Control. He did not again essay to defeat Geary. though the animosity kindled between them has never died out, and not, infrequently blazes up at board meetings: But all the time Controller Hocken has regarded him - Ben as the logical eliceeesor of Mayor Geary. And at the moment be probably expects that in the year of grace, 1913, it will be Mayor Hocken, His chanees are undoubtedly, good, but there era several possibilities which have to be reckoned with. In the fleet place, Geary has not definitely anneunced that he will not be to candidate again. During the present term his name has been fre- quently raentioned in conneetaon with permanent civic and other positions. But should he Beek 41 fourth term ae Mayor, Controller Hocken may give him another fight, and unless Geary completes the Year more aggrerisively than he has be- gun it Hocken might oust him.

YET CLEARER VISION of the true character of the Mes- sianic work and the outlines of the Messianic figure, The Evangelical Prophesy discloses the Messianic hope in its fullest light, and does this under tho figure of the suffer- ing servant of God. Here at first Israel as a whole is the servant. Though fallen upon unhappy days, yet this very time is One of puri- fication; and, nowthatthe process of purgation is reaching ite comple- tion, it is time to prepare for the larger things to come. Redemp- tion is not to be wrought by war and strife, as was She earlier view, but by peaceful methods, and there- fore the figure of the king no 'anger appears, but the servant in a hum- ble and yet successful work. Presently, however, the idea that She nation as a whole can do the great work appears to be abandon- ed. Too many are indifferent. The remnant, the best part of the na- tion, is all that can be counted upon in such an enterprise. This remnant will save not only the apostate part of the nation, but the world at large. But even the remnant was weak and unable to accomplish the divine work; and at last one rises from the remnant, a representative of both it and the whole nation, able to do that which both had failed to accomplish, the divine ser- vant, the Messiah. In Isaiah lii., 13,' liii., 12 the success of the ser- vant's mission is set forth in terms that show the blending of the per- sonal and the national ideas about the Messianic figure. That this conception of the Messiah finds its - fulfilment in the historic work of Jesus Christ is the teaching of the New Testament. -Dr. Herbert L. Willett, a bad name.
