Lesson La-Jeslis walking on the
Sea, Mark 6. 45-56. Golden
Text, Matt, 14. 27.
Verne 45.-ardightWaY he con-
strained hie disciples -Immediately
after the miracle of feeding fitYe
thousand Jesus dispatched the
twelve, with great urgency from
the scene. The reason for' this- is
given by John only (6. 15), who
states that the effect of the miracle
upon the multitude was .such that
they were about to take him by
force and make him king. Jesue
doubtless perceived that the dis-
eiples would share in this move-
ment and therefore sent thin away
in haste.
Unto the other side to Bethsaida
-They were directed to take a
westerly course across the Lake toe
ward Bethsaida in Galilee, a fishing
village near Capernaum. This vil-
lage is not to be confused with
I3ethsaida Julies, which was on the
northeastern shore and near' which
occurred the miracle of the loaves
and fishes. Luke 9. 10. Matthew's
record (14. 22) is simply that they
were to go "to the other side,"
while John (6. 17) says they "were
going over the sea unto Oaper-
nauxn."
Himself shndeth the multitude
away -The state of mind of the
multitude made the situation eri
tical and necessitated extraordin-
ary precaution such as 'Jesus alone
could exercise.
46. -Into the mountain to pray -
One of the mountains near the scene
of the miracle. The necessity for
prayer grew out of the sudden po-
pularity with which the crowd in-
vested Jesus.
47. When even was come -- The
early evening referred to in 6. 35
was from three to six o'clock, while
the late evening here referred to
was frora six o'clock until night.
In the midst of the sea - About
half way across. John (6. 19) says:
"About five and twenty or thirty
furlongs."
48. Distressed in rowing - The
night was divided laY the Romans
into four watches of three hours
each. This was,
therefore, the la,st
watch, from tliree to six in the
morning. Their distress is evident
from the fact that they had rowed
about eight hours and had covered
only between three and four miles.
• Walking on the sea -This miracle
is clearly not to be explained, 'as
some would attempt th do, by say
ing that he was walking on the
shore "above the sea."
Would have passed by them -It
was probably the deliberate pur-
pose of Jesus to pass them to make
opPortunity for testing and in-
structing their faith.
49. A ghost -The darkness made
it impossible to recognize Jesus,
and naturally they did not expect
to see a person walking on the
water. Whatever the Jews could
not explain naturally they attribut-
ed to spirits.
50. All saw him --Conclusive evi-
dence it was not a delusion.
Be of good cheer : it is I; be not
afraid -This immediate word of as-
surance is also recorded by Matt.
(14. 27) and John (6 20). John
omits "Be of good cheer." Although
they did not recognize the form,
they knew at once the Voice of
Jesus, and this had -the immediate
effect of allaying their fears.
51. Went up unto them into the
boat -We would infer from John's
account. (6. 21) that the disciples
were prevented ' from receiving
Jesus into the boat because by the
time jest's had reached it they had
arrived at the shore.
The wind ceased -Another ele-
ment in the miraculous event.
42. Understood not concerning
the loaves -This is given as the rea-
son why the disciples did not under-
stand the„present miracle. After
witnessing the feeding of the mul-
titude they should have had lees
difficulty at this time.
Their heart was hardened - The
Jews considered the heart to be the
seat of intelligence as well as af-
fection, so that the phrase does not
refer so much to clullness•of moral
pseidnistiybilities as to intellectual stu-
53. Came to the land unto Gen-
nesaret-A fertile plain about three
miles long and a mile wide extend-

Quite a tempest has been created about

the other depastments of government in
the Parliament Buildings, a seetion of the

purpose. AB to any removal of the Nor.

official statement, the other day, calling
for offers for the whole Normal School
Property caused everyone to jump to the
conclusion that, the Government wan cd.

Immediately the city press and official(
and citizens generally, perhaps with
something of the spirit which has earned
for Toronto the nickname of "Ilogtown,"
began to clamor that the property should
not be sold, but that it should be pre-
sented to the corporation of Toronto as a
public park. The modesty of the request
ie appreciated when it is stated that St.
James Square is worth approximately one
million dollars, although it is only a little

TORONTO'S MORAL RIGHT.
Toronto's argument is that originally
the Provincial government paid only
$18,000 for the square, that the tremendous
increase has been brought about by rea-
son of the eity'a growth and improve.
merits, and that therefore the "unearned
increment" is the city'e by moral right.
21 is also pointed out that the property
has enjoyed exemption from taxes, which
according to the sensationally displayed
figuring of ono paper, would have amount-
ed to upwards of $300,000. But no one has
pointed out that while the Province has
benefited by the increase in values in
Toronto, the city of Toronto has in Its
turn benefited to an untold amount by
having haa located here the Normal
School and the Department of Education.
Some of the papers have been kicking
up a great fuss about the matter. But,
meanwhile, Sir James Whitney sits tight.
A deputation from the City Council inter-
viewed him, but they loot courage to ask
him for a gift of the property. Their
only request was that the eity be given
O chance to buy before the Square wan

James readily assented to. There is a
suspicion that the Premier has no inten-
tion of selling the property, and that he

value is. If this is the case he niust be

Everyone is agreed that it would be a
calamity if the property passed into
private hands, and this breathingepot in
one of the most conaested. distriots Wali
cloeed up. But if it is th become a city
park the difference of opinion arises as
to whether the city ought not to pay for
it.
THE CASE OF REV. IL. B. ST. CLAIR.

The only unfailing method of liv-

life was and is the greatest of epics.
The poetry of Christianity may say,
"I am apprehended of Christ that I
may apprehend" the meaning of the
world, the significance of man's life
and struggle,the immeasurable
hope and destiny, the open secret
of Omniscient God. Only as any
poetry is the result of the mutual
life of mind and heart, an they are

by plans higher than men's limping
thought, is it a worthy "criticism
of life." Only as any poetry re-
cords the supreme spiritual events,
not unreasonable, but above the
ken of reason alone, and visions of
being to which men may aspire, is
it, or can it be, a true criticism of
life." Jesus of Nazareth, as Sav-
iour and Master, is life's truest, be-
cause life's most hopeful and sym-
pathetic critic'flooding life's realm

is impossible to suppose that -minds

--BALL TEAM'S JOB ENDED.
The winning of 'the pennant by the To.
route Baseball team does not seem to
have created the enthusiasm that the
same feet did five years ago. But the
performance was clean-cut aud altogether
creditable, and the fans are happy.
Meanwhile the players, referred to jocul-
arly as the "hired help," have hurried off
to their respective hoes, all far south
of the boundary line, with the exception
of the !solitary home brew, O'llara, who
is a product of our own corner lots. In
the winter time "Bill," in partnership
with "Jack" White, another baseball star,
runs a billiard and pool room in his home
town.. Most of the others likewise have

While the whale is tegarded as
the largest of ereatares that Vauntns
the sea, there are see sharks that
can be compared in size with the
former animals. These giant
sharks, however, are very ra,re,
and are known under the name of
the great whale shark v,n.ci the bask-
ing•ehark. The former, whieh at-
tains a length of fifty feet, as, found
off the coast, of India, Pert, and
Lower California,: The latter'e most
favorite haunt ie the Arctic Ocean;
but it is also !mind near the great
whale shark. The.s.e monsters, curl-

Their teeth are very small, and
they feed on tiny matter -that floats
on the surface of the sea. This
