Golden Text=Hinaeelf took our infirmaties, and bare our diseases.— Matt.. 8:17. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time and Place.—Matthew; accord- ing to his custom, has grouped the miracles recorded in these two chap- ters, which occured at different times and places: the healing of the leper in Galilee, May A.D. 28; the healing of the paralytic in Capernaum in June; the call of Matthew, the sante time and place; the healing of the +centurion's. servant in Capernaum at midsununer; the remainder of the miracles in the autumn. THE PALSIED MAN HEALED. And he entered into a boat. The boat; perhaps Peter's, which had brought hint to the eastern shore of the lake. And crossed over: To the western shore. And came into his own city. Capernaum, his city by adoption since he was driven from Nazareth. Emphatically his own city, since the Gadarenes had urged him to leave their country. And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy. Palsy (para- lysis) is a disease characterized by extreme loss of power of motion de- pendent on some affection either of the motor centres of the brain or of. the spinal cord. It is always serious, .usually intractable, and generally sud- den in onset," Lying on a bed. The atsual pallet or thin mattress, spread ,on the floor and rolled up and put away when not in use. The sick man holding one corner of the pallet. Ev- en with this co-operation this special Christian, task was not easy. Jesus was preaching in . a house, probably Peter's; and His fame was so great that the house was crowded, and an- other crowd pressed closely about the door, so that entrance was out of the question: But the four bearers were men of resource and undaunted spirit. It was not dififcult to make a hole through such a roof and let the sick man down on the mattress directly in front of the Saviour; And Jesus !seeing' their faith. The evident faith both of the sick man and his four friends. Once more faith is mention- ed as a condition of the miracle. Said. unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer. "Son" does, not nec- essarily imply that the paralytic was a young man. His face was pale, and drawn with pain, drawing forth the sympathy of the loving Redeemer. Christ has good cheer for all sad lives, they will only take it. Thy sins are forgiven. Paralysis is often brou- ght on by certain kind of sib, and the sufferer may have made himself sick by his evil deeds; or, Christ may sim- ply have recognized man's: universal sinfulness, and the fact that it is at the bottom of virtually all of earth's misery, the . one disease that most needs to be cured, And behold certain of the scribes. The official interpreters of the law. These, with the Pharisees, had come from the towns of Galilee and even from Judaea and Jerusalem to hear Jesus. Said within themselves. Their thoughts would be proclaimed by their lowering countenances. This man blasphexneth. "Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" they murun:zred to one another (Luke 5:21). Their question was a sound one, for sins are directed to God and only God g®ansnsnnnnnnnnnlnamisisninnnnnnnsnonams • ■ Maitland CreameryCream, Eggs and Poultry I I♦ 1 WANTED #i1 1i ■ ■ AT.UE UNITED FAR 1ERS.

Our Lord knew what was in man (John 2:25). For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk' It was not a question of which would be easier to do, but to say: and of course it would be easier to say the first, since that statement could not be proved or disproved be- fore their eyes. But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, Even here, when He proposed to exercise the rnost divine of all His powers, the Son of God chose to use His favorite name for Himself, San of Man, representative man; and in His humility He confin- ed His work in the forgiveness of sins and pictured it as a delegated author- ity, being jealous for the honor of His Father. We see herevery clear- ly the reason why Christ ;worked mir- acles, as instruments for the accom- plishment of His mission. (Then saith He to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. The man; his limbs wasted and powerless with long disease was bidden to leap instantly out of his helplessness, roll, uphis mattress, and carry it off home -he who had been. carried there by four men! And he arose, and departed to his house. ."GlorifyingGod" as he went (Luke 5:25), and so indicatingthat it was his own faith that Christ had perceived as well as that of his bear- ers, But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid. The evident pres ence of Divine power filled them • with awe. And glorified God. That was exactly the result which Christ sought to produce by His acts and words. Who had given such authority unto men. "Regarding -.:,Jesus as only a man, it was right that they should give theglory to God. And they. probably did not consider this auth- ority and power as peculiar to Him,. but as bestowed on men, and possib- ly for others also.. And as Jesus passed from thence. From the house where He had just healed the palsied man. He saw a man, named Matthew. Levi was his other name. He had two names, like John Mark, Simon Peter, Saul Paul. Sitting at the place of toll. He; be- ionged to the class of publicans or. tax -collectors, so bitterly hated by the Jews because they served their Rom- ish masters andbecause of their fre- quent extortions. lelatthew's customs. booth would be near the lake, on the important road running from Darras cus down to Egypt. And He saith unto him, Follow me. This was un- doubtedly far from thebeginning of Christ's acquaintance with hint, the climax of many conversations. Christ was not politic in thus calling a pub- lican into His body of intimate as- sociates, but far more importnat, than worldly wisdom is the wisdom of hea ven'and the policy of the kingdom of God. And he arose, and followed him. Matthew hada lucrative post, and he was a busy man, but he closed his books, locked up his money drawer, resigned his position, and proved the sincerity of his conversation by 1:eav- in lo m g all his worldly interests and fol - wing the Saviour. And it came to pass as he sat at eat in the house.: Matthew is too modest to record • what Luke sets down, that he signalizedhis conver- sion, by making a great feast in his house, a feast of joy and gratitude. Behold, many publicans and sinners cane and sat down with Jesus and His disciples. They were Matthew's friends, whom he would introduce to Christ, probably in the hope of per- suading them to follow his new Mas- ter. One of the surest proofs of con- version is the desire to convert others. And when the 'Pharisees saw it. They might enter uninvited, but it is not likely they did more than look in at the door and note the company; they would hardly enter a publican's house. They said unto his disciples. Evidently, knowing. Christ's power and recognizing His great ability, they were slow in ' approaching • the Teacher Himself but they would lodge their complaint with His dis- ciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners? This was not forbidden by the lav of Moses, but was forbidden in the hard-hearted code which the Pharisees had form- ulated. But when he heard it, He may have overheard the conversatiotl, or the disciples p es tnay have told him about it. He said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick, a:Ic was the Great Physician, He came. to seek the very class with whom he was consorting,, the sinners, who needed him most, But go ye and learn what this meaneth. Christ turns to the scribes and Pharisees learned in the law, and bids them discover its true irteaning..

Sino* Introduction of "Trades'," It is •nearly forty years since Dr, Oreille'', as be then was, heard of the hard life lad by the fisher folk on the Labrador coast.. He w.ae then working For the Royal National Mis- sion to Deep Sea Fishermen iu the North Seas. He left that works to aet as a pioneer of similar work in Labrador and has devoted his life to its people ever since. Writing for the annual report of his association on beard the Mgrayat, a little power -driven hospital schoon- er, Sir Wilfred tells of his volunteer Grew. The skipper is a Boston lawyer --a Bowdoin graduate; the mate a Yale man from New York; the (leekhands, Princeton and " Dartmouth men; the cook is a Philadelphia wool merchant who had some experience in cooking at sea jn his youth, and two Groton boys make themselves gener- ally useful. Sir Wilfred maintains that his own work and that of his helpers is not to be looked on as "work" but as "fun," for there is no tun, in the world which comes up to that of doing a:thing Just because it wants doing. The assooiation has, during the last few years, put into operation an industrial department. This is to give Work among others to women of the coast so that they may have a meas- ure of econo aio independence. The articles made include silk hooked - work rugs, and grass baskets, while ivory work, and toy - making are carried on. Sir Wilfrid appealed for gifts of old silk stockings which, when unravelled and dyed, form the 'material for the silk rugs. For the standard size mat, 26-40 inches, some 60 to 80 pairs of stockings are required. In many other ways Sir Wilfrid. is extending the work which he loves. Labrador salmon, he said, can com- pete with the finest Scots and Irish` fish, Sixteen leading chefs in London chose Labrador salmon as the 'best out of 16 . unclassified' • specimens. Parts of Labrador, too; were to be stocked with reindeer 'which were now in request as a source of meat supply. SWAN-UPPING. Practice of Marking Beaks of Swans aa Old Custom. The hundreds of graceful swans that add ao much to the charm of the river Thames are the property of either the ' Dyers' Company or the Vintners' Company, or the' crown, And these send their: respective "markers," wearing distinctive jer- seys, to examine the marks on the beaks of the older swans, and to mark those of their offspring hi a similar. fashion. Swan-upping on the Thames dates from the sixteenth century. It used to be carried out from old city barges, manned by double banks of rowers, and later from house -boats towed by horses. In other parts of the country the custom is still more ancient, and the Public Record Office has a roll, dated. 1496, showing the. upping marks used by various own-, ers in theeastern counties, including those used by "the be,yly of Toft," "the monk of Thorny," and "Bedell, tresourer unto my Ladle's grace; the I{ing's metier." Thi sign of "The Swan with Two Necks," seen on various inns; is, said to be a corruption of the Vintners' mark. For Shell Swept Areas. A mechanical war horse las been produced by a British manufacturing, firm which will solve the problem of rapid transportation of troops over bullet swept areas. It is surprisingly: mobile can turn round almost in itq own length, ford a stream, provided the latter Is not too deep, pass through barbed wire entanglements, and ' climb a bank up to 45 degrees slope. It is known as the Carden Lloyd, and should put an end to the use of horses in. warfare.. It holds two men and can draw a trailer designed to carry four men in comfort. It can dodge obstacles, run to cover,. or fol- low a zigzag course to escape fire with the greatest ease. It is quite fast and is equipped with a special machine gun, and, as it stands only half as high as a horse, its move- ments cannot be detected even in very open country. Nation -!Vide Lecture Plan. A nation-wide lecture service through the utilization of educational stotion pictures is being planned by the National Museum, Ottawa. For some years the museum hat. conducted a course of free lectures for school children and adults ' on separate days, and how it is planned to extend the course over the entire country through the distribution o1 films.

BDE IMID.A FL01MA, tpniper Berniudiaaiza Only Natlr►e Growth on islands. The only native growth on the 1e- lands of Bermuda is the Juniper Ber- mudiana, often mistaken and usually pointed out to visitors as cedar trees, All other flora has been imported from the tropics, Australia, and other eo un tries. Each season of the year presents a gorgeous pageant of floral beauty. The brilliant flaming scarlet of the poinsettia intrigues the northerner at Christmas time, with the tiny green- ish red and yellow flowers, surround- ed by a whirl of large leaf -like flam- ing scarlet bracts (which the novice invariably calls the petals of the floater) from ten to sixteen inches in length. Double poinsettias, seldom seen elsewhere, bloom prolifically as weal on these coral islands. Glorious hibiscus rivals the .poin- settia for favor. Less passionate 'tis true, but equally deserving of hom- age. Dense hedges line foot paths, the throaty, luscious, individual blooms measure from four to six inches in diameter. Their fleeting beauty lasts but for a day. The cycle of life birth, maturity and decay continues almost unceasingly through- out the entire year, hence a continu- ity of bloom is assured. Seductive oleandars, faintly per- fumed, make a very rapid growth of- ten attaining a height of twenty feet, hedge off farm lands. Happy, har- monious colorings of rose, white and reds, flaunt their waxy beauty in spring time. .4.calypha, commonly known as "match -me -if -you -can," fascinates the transient, by ftp provocative teasing peculiarities. Dense hedges, yet no two leafs are alike. Green to be sure. they -are, but each Ieaf is a . different shape and each bears on its outer edge a tracing of deep rose, which in the distance tendo to metamorphose In autumal coloring the landscape. Driving through the various par- ishes one is prone to atop and revel in some flower decked vista. Rival- ling the blue of the sea, the humble northern convolulus catches the eye.

New Zealand Government Sends Out Hunters to Thin Them Out. Deer and wild pigs; introduced in New Zealand to provide sport for huntsmen, have proved a countryside pest. In no part of the world is "there such thrilling deer -stalking as in New Zealand, but there are not enough sportsmen. The animals, secure In their forest fastnesses, have multi- plied so rapidly that the Government has sent out official hunting parties to thin the herds.: One : party spent three months in the Lilburn Valley, shooting 700 magnificent red deer, the .hides of which were exported at a dollar apiece. In another region — Canterbury where, in some of the finest sheep country in the world, the depreda- tions of the fallow deer were so se- vere that the graziers asked Govern- ment action, and within three weeks an official party had bagged 600. If pig -sticking were a popular sport here—which it is not—the scope would be unlimited, So destructive are the wild pigs that the Govern- ment pays 25 cents for every snout that is delivered to its depots. Museum of • Antiques. I heard of an •amusing side-show held at a garden fete recently, writes Looker-on in the London Daily Chronicle. It was called a Musetim of Antiques, but the nature of the ex- hibits may be guessed from the fol- lowing specimens: A gigantic safety - pin, four inches long, which in the 90's held blou'ie and skirt from part- ing company; dangerous -looking dag- gers, over a foot long, labelled hat pits of 1909; a length of braid, one edge of which appeared frayed, but a skirt about u fiveoras in diameter. was also shown with this brush -braid sewn round, apparently to eweep up the mud of the streets; a lingerie blouse, fastening up • the back with innumerable tiny hooks and eyes which, not being rustless, had mark- ed the cambric with iron -mould, and there were other sytmptuary ;relics in favor with our mothers and grand- mothers, Canada's Telephones. A. report of the Bureau of Statis- tics shows the number of telephones in Canada at the end of 1927 to have been 1,259,987, included in 2,409 systems with 204,245 miles of pole line and underground conduit and 11,591,085 miles of wire.
