Thne,—The calling of the Twelve. in the midsummer of A.D. 28, in the second year of Christ's ministry. Place,—The Horns of Hattin, a prominent hill west of the Sea of Galilee. The. Calling Of The Twelve; And He goeth up into the mount- ain. Here Christ spent the entire night in prayer (Luke 6:22), for the following day, was to be full of lino, mentous occurrences. The Son of Man felt the need of strength and wisdom' from His Father; and if He relied on prayer, how much more should we! And calleth unto Him whom He Himself would. Many dis- ciples we're present (Luke 6:x3) : for Christ's preaching and miracles had drawn large numbers to. follow Him. From this assembly; acting with knowledge supplied Him from above, our Lord chose His assistants. Thus guided, He made no mistake. And they went unto Him. They freely and gladly accepted the call, And, He appointed twelve. Twelve; probably, because of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from the twelve sons of Jacob. In honor of them the numeral twelve has' a high place in . Bible history, but this use of it is the crown. That they might be with Him. Our Lord exemplified all the social virtues. He loved com- panionship: No one ever lived who was so capable of carrying ,a great work by Himself. No selfish recluse can accomplish much fon, the King- dom of God, And that He might send them forth to preach. Thus H'e called them "'apostles (Luke 6:23), which means "men sent forth," No true Christian, abides at home forever with Christ, because Christ Himself in the work of extending His Kingdom. And to have authority to cast out demons. Matt. To.' records the addi- tional authority to heal all manner of disease. The demoniacs here • stand forr all the afflicted, being in the worst state of all. The Work Of The Twelve. And He calleth unto Him the Twelve, Hostility to Christ was grow- ing rapidly,,. and Christ knew well in n hat it would culminate. He per- ceived that the time had come for a more aggressive extending of His work and influence, to thatch this fast spreading animosity. And began .to send them forth by two and, two. That they might strengthen, cheer, comfort and advise each the other. Also, that each might fill out the other's lack. 'They were not merely mated; they were matched. Christ was after a more perfect apostleship; and He made six whole menout of the twelve. Peter the extremist went forth with Andrew the conservative; James the Elder with John the youth; Philip the dullard with Bartholomew the sage; Thomas the man of doubts with Matthew the man of strong con- victions; James the champion of duty with Jude the champion of doctrine; Sinton the zealot with Judas the trai- tor. And He gave them authority over the unclean spirits. Here also the demoniacs only were mentioned, as Satan's influence culminated in them, but we see from verse 13 that many of those sick in ordinary ways were inclined in their ministry, and we learn from Matt, 10:7, 8 that the apostles received power even to raise the dead, And He ,chargecl then that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff, only. Not even that, ac- cording to Matthew and Luke, though the reference there may sixnplir forbid their taking irons to provide a staff if they had none already. Every tra- veller carried a staff to aid his walk- ing and as a weapon against wild beasts and robbers. No bread, no wallet, no money it their purse, The wallet was a leather bag for food, and was carried slung over the shoulder. Money was kept in the folds of the girdle, whirl; constituted the "purse", But to go shod with sandals. Simp- ly soles strapped to the bare feet. And, said He, put not on two coats. They were not to go as well-to-do folks, with a`toat and a cloak over it, hut merely 'with the under garment, or tunic worn by ordinary then, • The poor would wear only this tunic— nothing under it, clothing entirely suitable in that hot climate. And He said unto thctn,' Whereso- ever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence. The hobpitality of the East leads to vigorous rivalry in the entertaining of strangers, who are loaded With invitations and ex- pected to go From hoose to house, be - frig lavishly feted at each, which is x great waste of time mixt, leads to many quarrels among the villagers. Christ disciples, as unsuited to the singleness. frowned upon this PUStOl21 for His THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON of purpose which Ws followers should exemplify. And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them, Whenever the Pharisees, returning from a Gentile land, reached Judaea, they stamped off the dust from their .shoes, as' a sign that nothing of heathenism was adhering to their souls. The act thus symbolizes " complete -renunciation, and;said to the hard-hearted and in- hospitable strangers, "We have no- thing to do with you." And they went out, and preached that hien should repent. "Repentance is the grand Christianact," says Car- lyle. It may 'truly enough be collect the grand Christian act in the sense that everything depends on it, and that religion begins its perfect work there. And they cast out many demons. What joy and amazement must have been theirs when they found them- selves gifted with this power of, )zeal ing•and•blessing! And anointed with oil many that were sick; and healed them. Oil was much used, as an 'ex- terior'application,:by the physicians of Christ's day, and was applied by the disciples as a symbol of their miracu- lous healing and as an aid to faith, much as clay was applied to blind eyes by the Great Physician Himself. THREE LIVES LOST IN A FIRE John McLean, his wife and ten- year -old son, Bruce, were burned to death in a fire which destroyed :their home near Underwood,' Bruce County, early Feb. 2xst. Neighbors -awoke to find the house in ruins, and a search revealed the bodies. Fire evidently broke out during the blizzard that night, and; caught the family' una- wares. Investigation of the ruins dis- closed the three bodies lying on beds. they were apparently suffocated by ,smoke, and there was no evidence of any effort being made to escape from the inferno caused when the house caught fire. The McLeans had lived near Under- wood f9r two generation's, John Mc- Lean's father being one of the pio- neers of the district., The dead man had advertised an auction sale of his farm on Wednes- day, intending to sell his implements and retire to live in Port Elgin. Cor- oner Ferguson of Kincardine, is mak- ing an investigation, but has not de- cided whether an inquest will be nec- essary. The bodies were burned e.1 - most beyond recognition.

Hen Who /lave Nasty jobs Iliwe Few Friends. what is the nastiestjob? asks an 01c1 Country paper, A solicitor defonding .a Pat refiner at Leeds, England, told the court that the nature of his client's trade made him "a man without friends," for nobody wanted him near. Xou might imagine' tlmt the duet - man was in the same box and that the sower-rnan would he equally un- pleasant, but this is not the case. Both are able to get rid of all tokens of their trade by the use of soap and water, and there are few industries which resemble fat -refining in that they make a man physically unpleas- ent to the senses ,of others: But here is a queer thing: One of the most exquisite scezits on earth is that of attar -of -roses, yet the people employed 'in its manufacture become so soaked in it that the smell of them is almost sickening. This, too, may be classed as a friendless job. • Another industry which leaves un- pleasant traces on the worker is the breeding of maggots for fishing. The, work is perfectly healthy, but the smell is horrible and intensely clinging. Comparatively few people are able to handle snakes, but those who have this faculty are usually friendleees. Mankind , has a natural horror of snakes, and it would seem that this dislike spreads to those who handle them. k night-watchman can hardly cul tivate a large circle of friends, for he must sleep while others are awake and be on duty while they sleep, but his work is nothing like so friendless as that of• a Texan shepherd or an Australian tank -minder. The former may see a human face once in three months when the roundsman brings him' his stores, and he often goes mad from sheer loneli- ness. The tank -minder, who is in charge of a Government reservoir in the back -blocks,' is almost equally lonely., But for an occasional miner or prospector and, once in a way, a herder in charge of cattle, he never sees a fellow creature. • NURSING TOBACCO. Planter's Life Is, In Some Ways, Like 'That,of a Hospital Nurse. A tobacco planter's life is, in some ways, like that of a hospital nurse; for the little seeds over which he watches, and one ounce of which yields nearly 40,000 full-grown plants, are as delicate as any invalid. These small grains are sown in nursery beds. The first shoots re- quire very careful treatment. After about two metnths the planta are ready for transplanting. This is a delicate operation. In the better brands of tobacco the lower leaves, which ripen first after about two months, are "prim- ed" or picked separately, but the more usual practice is to postpone picking until the middle of the plant is mature. The whole plant is then cut down close to the ground, and is left to wilt. 'At this stage the tobacco is still raw. Before it is fit for smoking It must be subjected to three lengthy operations - curing, fermentation, and ageing. Sun curing, once largely used, has been superseded by "fire" or "flue" curing, the leaves being suspended over slow fires for four or five days at a time. After four or five weeks of this treatment the leaves are tied into bundles of ten or twelve and piled in- to a column about six feet high. Thenthey are left to ferment. A month later the leaves, now of a uniform brown tint, are sorted into grades and packed and left to age by storage for several years in a mod- erately -heated warehouse. A Remarkable Operation. One of the most remarkable oper- ations on record was performed in Pretoria Hospital recently by a sur- geon, who successfully grafted a por- tion of a man's rib on to his skull. While bathing, the man had got some sand in his ear. Later it pene- trated the drum and Iodged in the brain. Hemorrhage was caused by the irritation, and it became neces- sary to operate to stop bleeding on the brain. After this temporary check, the hemorrhage broke out again and septicaemia set in, Another operation followed, and a large piece of the skull four inches in diameter was removed, The man recovered, but his brain was left ex- posed, and as his Condition caused him considerable pain it was decided to attempt the grafting . operation. A rib was taken from his right side nand grafted on to the skull, while a pound of flesh from his leg was used to cover it. The man is now per- fectly fit, Artifiiclal Flowers of Feathers, Feathers ' of all kinds are being used for making artificial flowers, decorating handbags, and for other ornamental purposes, with the result that even herr feathers' are fetching a fair price in England.
