ed the steps taken, but could not re-
port anythingd(ft definite accomplished.
l'h d
The clerk raised the question of
changing the time of year of the
holding of the council meetings and a
good deal of discussion took place,
but no definite action was taken. The
clerk pointed .out that the January
session followed the December ses-
sion too closely and suggested holding
the last session in November instead
of December. Another suggestion was
that the June session be held a'' month
earlier so as to give the Road Com
mission time to decide on road work:
Other suggestions were that a special
one -day session be held earlier in the
season to decide on road work for the
year or thaw the road commission of
one year lay out the program for the
next year having' gained a better know
ledge of the roads than the new men
could.
Mr. Thos. Inglis brought up the
matter of having a visit from the
Bruce county council in June.
Mr. J. M. Govenlock spoke brief-
ly thanking the council for his ; ap-
pointment as Inspector of the Coun-
ty Holme and asked to meet the
House of Refuge committee for a few
minutes,
The following motion was referred
to the ',special committee: Moved by
Hugh Hill, seconded by Herb C. Cox
that, whereas the automobile traffic
is ever increasing, causing greater
deterioration to all roads and neces-
township as per the motion of Mes-
srs; Munnings and MacEwan in Jan-
uary 1924, .such maintenance to be
defrayed out of funds at the credit of
the town of Goderich, which have
been levied by the county andpaid
in by the town fdr good roads pur-
poses.
Motions to grant $goo to each
spring fair, $loo to each fall fair, $zoo
to the Clinton spring fair, $25 to each
school holding school fair (and half
that amount to boundary libraries),
$5o to the North Huron Plowmen's
Association, $25 to the Hensall spring
seed show and $2o for flowers around
the court house, were referred to the
executive committee.
A motion by Messrs. Kennedy and
Ballantyne that the Egmondsville St.
be paved at as early a date as possible
was referred to the Good Roads Com-
mission,
A motion to appoint Messrs. Gar-
diner and Erwin as county auditors
was laid over for enquiry by the
clerk as to the need of, appointing
auditors, the books for last year hav-
ing been already audited. The ques-
tion was whether legal requirements
did not necessitate the appointment

Mark 3: 19E-35; Mark 3: x9B-27; 6: x-6
Golden Text - He came unto his
own, and they thaei were his own re-
; ceived him not. But as many as re-
' ceived him, to them gave he the right
to become children of God, even to
them that believe on his name. -John

probably also of Jaxnes and John.
"And the multitude corneal together
again, so that they could not so
much as eat bread." We can hardly
be mistaken in believing that this
graphic touch :comes' from Nacre's in-
formant, Peter. Christ ant2 His dis-
ciples were doubtless weeny with their
journey, and Peee.e0, another -in-law,
grateful because,;llrist had healed her
of the fevi:V., was, eager to place be
font iltvm ti,* hest seals the.hOUSO
could afford, but the crowd would not
even give them leisure for eating.
•"And when lois friends heard it,
they went out to lay hold, on Him,"
The commentators connect this verse
with verse ex, regarding ";His friends"
as being His mother and His brothers,
and this verse as describing their set-
ting out from Nazareth to compel
Him, if possible, to return home with
them. "For they said, He is beside
himself," Christ had given up His
gainful occupation, and spent His en-
tire time in wandering about Palestine
helping people and teaching them
great truths. 1"o a worldly -minded per.
son such unselfishness always seems
little short of insanity, while religious
devotion always appears crazy to
.those who have no real belief in the
things of the spirit, A man may give
himself passionately to money -mak-
ing, and he will becaned hard -
1 a ed
and practical; but let him fix his mind
as ardently on the eternal interests' of.
human souls and he will hardly es-
cape being considered as a lunatic, . .
"And' the scribes that carne down
frorn Jerusalem said, He hath Beel-
zebub." We have already learned
about the party of scribes (lawyers)
and Pharisees that had come down
from. Jerusalem ("down" because ,Jer-
usalem was on high ground and also.
because it was the chief -city of Pal-
estine) to watch the popular new re-
ligious teacher and find ground for a
serious charge against Him. Christ.
had just healed one of the most des-
perate cases ever brought to Him, a
demoniac who was both blind and
dumb. Our Lord caused him to speak
and see, and the cure was so .amazing
as to suggest the blasphemous charge
that Jesus had this authority ,over
demons because He was himself .under
the control' of the demon Beelzebub.
This Beelzebub (Beelzebul) was -a
heathen deity whose name may mean
"Lord of the house," that is, "chief of
the household of demons." "And,
By the prince of the demons He cast-
eth out the demons." One mark of
a man of an evil spirit is that he at-
tributes an evil spirit to everyone
else. If we note in ourselves a ten-
dency to find fault with others, and
suspect them of all kinds of wicked-
ness, we should see in that tendency
a proof of our own spiritual danger.
"And he called thein unto Him, and
said unto them in parables." 'The
word 'parable' in the Old Testament
represents a term which is used for
proverbs, dark, enigmatical utterances
In the New Testament it is applied to
proverbial sayings; institutions, per-
sons, or events of a typical or suggest-
ive character, The Fourth Gospel has
allegories, not parables proper.' "How
can Satan cast out Satan?" How can
one even think of Satan, after he has
gained control of a roan, voluntarily
relinquishing that control? Can we
imagine Satan, the arch -enemy of man
becoming his own enemy? Satan is
the common Jewish name for "the
prince of demons," the 'fallen angels
who, after leaving heaven, became the
ruler of hell,
And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. So
with Satan's kingdom: If Christ be-
longed to that kingdom, in driving the
demons from their 'victims He would
be waging civil war and splitting Sa-
tan's realm in twain,
"And if a house be divided against
itself, that house will not be able to
stand." The word 'house' has, of
course, its rarer meaning which it has
in John Yi :53 and x Cor; i6 : x5,
"And if *Satan hath risen up against
himself, and is divided, he 'cannot
stand, but hath an end" Psycholo-
gists recognize the phenomenon of
double personality, a trail IX mental
condition In which one semis to be
two persons, having entirely differ-
ent characteristics, different memor-
ies, different abilities, r{•,cogliixisif ilii-
fcrcnt mime:, and different :;ct; of

empty house. "Except he first bind
the strong meet,; and then he will
spoil his house." The servile atti-
tude of the demoxis whotti Christ ex-
orcised shows how Christ 'bound Sa-
tan. They begged to be bet alone,
Jesus Misundet`stQod By His Family
"Jesus misunderstood by His
townsfolk, And He went out from
thence. From Capernauin, where
He had just raised front the dead the
daughter of Jairus, a ruler of the
synagogue, "And He cometh into His
9wa1 94.Untri." the ngws 9f the stu-
pendous miracle He had just worked
caused Jesus to be pressed upon by
greatthrongs, to escape' which He.
retired to Nazareth, the village of
His peaceful childhood, whose un-
believing townsfolk had already driv-
en Him out once, and forced Him to
make Capernaum His - headquarters.
But Christ would give them one more
chance. "And Hisdisciples followed
Hinz," When driven out, He was only
a solitary young man, full of teachings
that seemed revolutionary and unlaw-
ful to His neighbors. Now he returns
with' a great reputation and with a
band of twelve attached followers,
themselves also preachers and evan-
gelists,
a "And when the Sabbath was'eome,
He began to teach in the synagogue."
He went there for a vacation, but
Christ's was no vacation religion;
It was His custom to go to church
every Sabbath, and, being there, the
distinguished teacher would inevitably
be asked by the rulers of the syna-
gogue to speak to the people,.and
Christ seized all such opportunities as
He would have His followers seize
thele. "And many hearing Him were.
astonished!' They were amazed at His
skill as an orator, His knowledge of
the Scriptures, and the authority with
which He spoke. "Saying, Whence
hath this man these things?" Only
three wordsin the Greek:' "Whence
these to this?" "And, what is the wis-
dom that is given unto this man ."
"This man" is contemptuous, as in
the preceding question: "this com-
mon fellow" "this, day laborer." And
what mean such mighty works wrou-
ght by his hands? What do they sig-
nify as to His real nature, His origin,
His destiny? Christ wrought His mir-
acles,. primarily' in order to excite
just' such questions as these.
"Is not this the carpenter?" 7.11 the
beghnning God 1ta(1 set the stamp of
His approval on human labor, and
All along had clldsen ' as the cleinf.
toners for the higher and spiritual
welfare of Israel and the world hand
icrafts or pastoral pursuits.
"The son of Mary." Matt, 13:55 in
sorts, "is not this the carpenter's
sots?" Joseph was evidently lnucll
older than Mary, and was dead 'NAl;
be£ura; tltls �tiiiie. °And. brother o
Jarrlet�, and Yeses, and Judas, ant
limon?"' Si:>nte think that these were
the ,sons of Joseph by a .previous
marriage, and therefore only t11e
half brothers of. Jesus. In that ease
theywouldan
be older than Jesus and
would feel themselves qualified to
take charge of Him.'Others, think
that they ware the children 91
Joseph and Mary, born after Jesus,'
and therefore younger than He.
"And they were offended in Him."
"Offended" is in Greet the word
which hes given us our "scandalized,"
The people of Nazareth ought to have
been a valiant bodyguard of thei,r own
Prophet, to have copied the . early
heroes of faith, They were atten-
dants at the'most highly faypf6d, syn-
agoguc Of the h fih L d h
sojourned here for a generation,,
whilst He.paid brief visite only t
other places. If. like Simeon and An-
na they had been waiting' for Israel's
redemption, they would have recog-
nized in Him one sent by the Father
and have confessed . His authority.
"And'Jesus said unto them, A pro-
phet is not without honor, save in his
own country," Christ had uttered
the same saying before in the same
'
synagogue (Luke 4: 24), and John 4:
44 indicates , that the saying was often
on His tongue. "And among.His
own kin, and , in His own house."
These words show where thea sting
of the experience was -Christ's re-
jection by those nearest and dearest,
those who He had ,every right to ex-
pect would be His most ardent sup-
porters. Over and ever in the history
'
of the world the wisest and noblest of
men and women have been despised
by those closest to; them, just because
familiarity is allowed to breed ' con-
tempt. Those who' 'come from a dis-
'rn1 ±"Ylll" I I RC1

and mystery, are allowed to do wi

"And He could there ' do no luil;ht
worts, save that .1 -le laid His hands.
upon a few sick folk, an%1 `healed
them," The las.alntg;even of a few

the case. We see lipon what His mir-
acles rested He was always willing
and glad to bless, bin His gifts must
wait for stretehcd-out hands.
"And He marvelled because of their.
unbelief." As we see this surprise
reflected in the face of Jesus, may
we not infer that He came down to
His work amongst men' from a holy
world where faith was the all-pervad-
ing law! Sometimes faith looks won-
derful—we are surprised that nen do
not behove; and sometimes unbelief'
hooks wonderful—we are surprised
that men d9 not believe,
