THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON -ua «>a� 4+�ep�xwr�+�IPomuapo.�ea?+e.P ww.imortww, LESSON VIII. --FEBRUARY 19 "TWO MIRACLES OF TOWER" Marls 4:35r5:20. Golden Text —'Who then is that, that even the wind and the sea obey him?-- Mark 4:41, 1'HE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. TIME.—Autumn oi.' A. D. ;z8, in the second year of Christ's ministry. PLACE—The Sea of Galilee, and Gergesa, in the land of the Gada renes, on the east side of the Sea of Galilee, opposite Capernaum. JESUS STILLS THE TEMPEST ON THE SEA. "And on that day,pwhen even was come." It was the day when Christ spoke the parables which we studied last week. The crowd had been so great that He was compelled to ad- dress it from :'a boat, probably one owned by Peter ' and Andrew or James and John, as He was speaking at or near Capernaum. "He saith, unto them, Let us go over unto the other.. side." Our Lord had had a long, hard day, filled, with the 'most. original and thought-provoking teaching the world has ever known; filled also with controversy of the most exhausting nature. , He was thoroughly . wearied with both of these, and needed rest. Jesus knew well the wisdom. of vacations, He was eager to do the work for which He was sent "while! it was. yet day," but He realized that neededrest is a gain of time and net a loss, and this lesson He wouldenforce among His disciples to -day. "And leaving the i'nultitude, they take himwith them, even as he was,. in the boat." This was .the boat from which He had been speaking. Jesus did not take time to get heavier gar- ments .against a possible storm: He could not wait for that. "And other boats were with hurt." Matt. '• (8:19- 22) and Luke (9:57-62) tell us of various listeners who were so mov- ed by Christ's teachings that they wished to become His disciples and go with Him wherever He went. "And there ariseth a great storm of wind." The Sea of Galilee lies 600 feet below the level of the Mediter- ranean, and the air above it becomes very hot, It rises as it expands, and, to 'take its place swift currents of cold air rush in from: the gorges of the mountains on either side of the sea. These winds are very 'violent and come with :extreme suddenness, often blowing in from a perfectly clear sky. It is a terribly dangerous lake. "And the waves beat into the boait, -insomuch: that the boat was now filling." The tense of the Greek verb implies repeated action, "kept beating." The little fishing boat was fiercely buffeted fora long time. "And He himself was in the stern, sleep on the cushion." Nowhere else ri the Gospels is Christ's sleep men- ioned. We see that He was a man like the rest of us, subject to human weariness in, spite of the vast powers which He possessed, and in need of Physical recuperation. "And they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish? Luke 3._•2 4 gives a repeated and desperate call: "Master, mas- ter, we perish!" As Mark reports it, the disciples seem somewhat re- proachful of the Lord; they could notunderstand how He could sleep' in the midst ofsuch peril. Was He., ignorant of the danger in which His followers were placed.? If He knew, did He not care? It . is exactly the• feeling that even Christians some- times entertain when they them- selves or their loved ones are corn- elled to suffer. How can a loving Christ permit it? "And he awoke, and rebuked the ind, and , said unto the sea, Peace, e still." He might well have re- uked the disciples first, but in pity r their distress He saved that re - Ike for later..Our Lord addressed e wind as if it were a foul fiend; at who can say that' Satan was nett the bottom of the occurrence,. eking to work what Barin he could, riving perhaps In his mad rage to own the Son of Man and His fol- wers? "And the wind• ceased, and G) long -continued tossing of . the <tves, which usually follows astorm the sea, but an' instantaucous Po ""rhe wind grew tired" is c literal rendering of the beatiful rase, It sank tp sleep like ,a weary child, "It was a wondrous thing. Who but the Almighty Son of God could have wrought this miracle?" "ked Tfe said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith? 111111111111111111111111011101111111111110111 110111111110 - a . � •SPRING Al Sultingan _ d !.-1 ■ Overcoats A Our samples of Spring Suit- ing and Overcoats are now in. lig • II11 'Suits made to measure from M 1� $eeLso to $55.00, made up with the best material and workman- = ` ship within ten days from you ■ leave us .your order.

This picture of P e the CunarderAlaunia was snapped perilously from the topmost girder of the famous Quebec bridge over the St. Lawrence. It is the first time that such, a photograph has ever been taken. Below is what the bridge looks like from a Cunarder's deck. Although the centre span of the structure is 153 feet above high water level, the masts of the ship clear only just comfortably, and, to the watching passengers, miraculously, They had surely seen through the Deity. preceeding days and weeks 'enough of His power to give them faith in Him JESUS STILLS` THE ,TEMPEST and to inspire them with a peaceful IN THE SOUL. and confident. spirit, - They had seen` Him `casting out demons, curing the most desperate diseases, and even bringing back the dead to life. Why should they tremble before a storm, with Him in their boat? "And they feared exceedingly." They had feared the storm; 'now they; feared the Conquerer of the storm. • So unfamiliar are we with spiritual powers that any supernatural event or manifestation finds us unprepared and leaves us pale and shaken, We are not friends with the upper world, - we are too much the creatures of sense. "Anel saidone to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and, the sea obey him?" Who could it be but the Creator of the wind and the sea, the One who was in. the beginning n g with tth God, and witho t Whom was nothing made that was made? This may . well be regarded as Christ's greatest miracle, and the .most conclusive ' o azo f of His pfoof coughs are ordin- ary coughs that have been allowed to settle in the throat, bronchial tubes, or lungs. To check a cough before it develops into something worse, follow the course that doctors recommend and apply a home made mustard plaster to your throat or chest. rt is seldom, indeed, that a cough will not yield to this triedand proven remedy. To make a piaster mix two tablespoonfuls of Teen's Mustard with six of Linseed meal or flour lath a paste with told water. Spread between leaves ofbrownpaper and cover with muslin. "And they come to Jesus, and be- hold him that was possessed with demons. What a change they saw in him!. The features were the sante, ` but no longer distorted. The eyes were the same, but in them burned no longer the baleful fires of delirium. His form was unchanged, but no longer racked with convulsive twitchings. It was his voice, but speaking in ,quiet tones and uttering reasonable words. It was a wonder that even his relatives and friends recognized hint. "Sitting, clothed and in his right mind, eaten him that had the. legion." Insanity often takes the farm of a passion ,for nakedness, and "clothed" and "in his right mind" belong together. "And they were afraid," Here again was proof that some supernatural power had been at work, and; they trembled where they should have rejoiced. "And they saw it declared unto thein how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concern- ing the swine." The story was so strange that it would not have been believed except on the testimony of eye -Witnesses. "And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders." Not so much because. He had • healed the demoniac, but because through His marvellous powers the swine had been lost, and they feared further Loss by the satire means. Touch -a' man's purse and the whole nian is usually moved. "And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that lie. might be with him, Perhaps the cured titan was afraid that the de- mons would return tell him if he did not remain with the Healer; cer- tainly his gratitude led him to desire to attach himself to his Benefactor and he would wish to see ,;more of the great Teacher and learn of Him, Wordly selfishness bade Jesus . de- part, humble gratitude longs to con- tinue with Him, "Anel he suffered hint" not." He was. to remain and publish it abroad, and in the gratitude of his heart he did as the Saviour commanded him, "Brit with unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends." Do not go with Me among the strangers in Galilee but stay where yon know and are known, and where your testimony will be most readily believed. "And tell them . c haw greatthings' the Lordd. hath done for thee" Iieretofor Christ had bidden those whom, He healed to keep silent but concerning it, btit roxete .1'IiE WAYS OR .EDUCATION To the h:dtur av all thim Winghaan I':aypers, Deer Sur: B L O E GORRIE About- 30 ladies and a number of , Mr, and .Mrs, E, W.
