Bay of Miracles in Caapernaum.-Mark 1;31.5,4 Oammentary, L Christ teaching with anuthority (vs. 21, 22). 21. `.Choy --Jesus and the four disciples just called. Into Cialpernwum--A city on the northevest *oast of ;the Sea of Galilee. Straight- way -In :(!ark's; narrative scene follows scene in quick succession. An early tra- dition sags that Mark wrote :this gos- pel as Peter dictated it, and "this is made probable by its vividness and the rapid sweep •of the story." The syn-- gogue-After the return from the cap- !tivdty ;synagogues sprang up everywhere among the Jews. The Toonls were eo aarravmged that the people, who spuat- ted on the floor„ faced the temple in Jerusalem. See 1 Mings 8:29, 30; Dan. 6:10. From a pulpit the scriptures were read and the address; delivered. There was no regular minister, but local of- • /tee: had charge of the services. The synagogues; were the ceinteas of relig- ious and intellectual life, and schools and collages were ,often connected with them. Taught. -it was common to call upon any suitable person to speak in the synagogue services. "It it not un- likely that at this ;time he repeated what he had said at Nazareth" (Luke 4:16-30). Burns. It was the truth that produced results, whatever may 'have been the subject. 22. They were astonished -At the natter, manner, spirit and. authority , of his teachings. "1. At the rang M his intellectual gifts. 2. The force of has illustrations. 3. Hie acquaintance i wvdth the human heart. 4. His deep : knowledge of the divine law." -Burns. Authoaaty-He spoke as one commis- ( signed by God, and he laid great stress ;upon. himself. He said, "1 say unto 1 you," without quoting the teachers. !'Be was, 1. Dignified. 2. Original. 3. Cionvineiag. 4. Contsietent' llom:. ( !Om. Not as the scribes -The scribes .1were without spiritual life, their manner 'was cold, and, with an unholy ambition, : they sought their own and gat God's glory. "They could only insist upon the observances of petty rules invented by even like themselves. Christ dove down 1 to eternal principles, which bore the im- press of the divine approval. Moreover, His teaching WOO exemplified in His i gore life." II. Power over evil spirits (vs. 2.3-2S). !23. A man with an unclean spirit -Luke teals he "had a spirit of an unclean devil" and 'cried out .with a loud. voice" (Luke , iv. 33). ':here has been much discus - eters regarding this "unclean, spirit." Many hold that those who were said to ;have devils were simply diseased people, and that their strong .paroxysms were only "'fits." We cannot agree with this, however, and must 'insist that, difficult as it rney be to understand, yet real de- mons did inhabit, this titan and those re- ferred to in verse 32. Cried out -"An evil spirit is stirred to i4s depths when in contact with Jesus." 24. Let ust alone -The devil always desires to be let alone, and bad men do not want to be disturbed with anything good. We hear this cry the moment we undertake to deal with unclean things to -day, such as intemperance and the social evil. What have we to do with thee -Nothing at all. There is no con- cord between Christ and I3•elial. To de- stroy us -To drive us from our abode back to our native place. See Matt. 8, 29. "From this we inter that the de- i mons live in fearful anticipation of the r day when they shall be destroyed by be- ing subjected. to ,torment which they : do not now endure. The time is coming !when they shall be cast into the bot - i tomless pit (:rev. 20, 10) ; and they are now reserved in chains of darkness urate the judgment of the great das." Whe• 1 don. I know thee -Imagine some dis- ease, like the apoplexy, thus addressing ` Christ! No, Christ is dealing with devils !now, and they know hint well. The Holy One of God -The 'Messiah, who has come to dceitroy the kingdom of the devil (1 John iii. 8). 25. (esus rebuked him -He does not desire the tcsthnony . of devils to prove. bis Messiahshiir. "All ';hroughout his ministry Christ never for , a moment countenances anything that ;'night be construed into a teen, with I Satan."--73urn. Holcl thy peace -Liter- ally, "be thou muzzled." It is a word ( for a beast "---Morrison. Come out of hien-Be speaks with authority. He will show who he is by Lusting out the devil. 20. Torn him -Or, convulsed him. Luke says the devil threw the man, and ;came out of him, and hurt him not. 1� ev- : er was there a person possessed by an unclean spirit who did not suffer a con vulsion, perhaps a total ruin, by it. "Sins of uncleanness sap the foundations of life so that but very few of this class live out half their days." --Clarke. Came out -Even the devils obey his word of eommand. This is an evidence of the , great object of Christ's mission -to de- etroy the works of the devil. It is also a proof of his love for lost pian. 27. What thing is this -"What is this? a ; new teaching!" -R. v. Jesus taught i by his actions as well as by his words. (What he did was as important as what } ho said. With authority -Christ's an- 'thority and power is rcecognized even by the unclean demons, and they obey him. 28. Fame spread abroad -Tl is miracle • was wrought in public and those who saw it published it, and the people throughout all that region; were soon discussing him and his work. He did not need devils to publish him, and v e do not need to compromise with the world or the devil to -day in order to be able to carry on his work. Throughout ..Galileo --- This phrase would be more ;correctly rendered, "the surrounding re- gion of Galilee;" evidently (the region in Galilee round about Capernnuna The Revised Version suggests this idea. III. Healing hi a borne (vs. 29.31). 20. They entered, etc. -Peter and his bro- ther Andrew, although natives of Beth - Beide. (John d..44)., weer now living at Capernawn. Jesus, James and John had entered Peter's house. 30. Sincon's wife's mother -Thus we see that Peter was a married man, It is strange indeed that tli.e Boman Catholic clergy should lay so much stress on the celibacy of the clergy when Peter, their chief corner- stone, had a wife. Lay sick of a fever -Luke calls it a great fever. See Eiuke iv. 38. She was prostrated with a burn- ing fever. They tell him -This was really a request for healing. They knew He could restore her. 31. Took flier by the hand' --Could any- thing on this side the amdinni'ted power of Gad effect each a cure? These proofs should demonstrate His diivinity to the intelligence of every maul-Qiarke. Luke adds that Ile "rebuked the fever" - commanded it to bo gone as though it were an enemy. The fever left titer - Christ has power ager disease. Ho ean, and frequently docs, heal to -day; and yet we cannot test the state of the soul by the health of 11he body. Some of God's hest saints have suffered with bodily infirmities and have been slot:. Int is the "prayer of faith" that slaves the sick, and he who offers that prayer will see immediate results. She minis- tared-She ninis- tered She was perfectly restored and perforated the ordinary duties of the household. She was •not obliged to wait a long time for her strength to return. IV. Many Miracles (vs. 32-34). 32. When the sun did set -Titre Sabbath end- ed with the setting sun, and then they brought their sick to Him. It would not have been a desecration of the day if they had conte before the sun went down, Jesus bad just performed a cure en that day, but the •superstitions of the afflicted ones anu their friends kept many from applying to Him on the Sab- bath day. Unto Him -Christ has a panacea for ail aur aches, il1e and trou- bles. All a suffering world needs to do is to go to Jesus. He is still the same living, mighty One, and is able, walling, and anxious to deliver us from the power of the devil. 33. All the city -Not ne- cessarily every person, :but a very large company. 34. Healed easy Matthew says, "all that were skis " Luke says He laid hands on them. Jesus healed all who carne, and they were many. Dis- ea+ses....devile--A distinction is made here that we must not fail to notice; diseases were "healed" and devils "east out" Suffered not -See on verse 25. This had been a great day at Caper - ;mum, a day filled with stirring events. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Christ in Capernaum. I. In the synagogue. "Straightway," as soon as the hour for worship arrived, Jesus "entered into the synagogue" (v. 21). Be was there on time. If you are late you lose a part of the service and disturb the worship of others. Attend service regularly. It was the "custom' of our Lord to go to the synagogue (Luke iv. 16). When Gladstone lived in his country home, Hawarden Castle, he walked, every niornixi in the week, to A 1 e,lr" �ti ul nSiiiYM. '?��! -r �di!bd d'sic al 's ' Qcd b,'i a� o i'1 nue. eget a, re(,r„a�'I . a The andlic in iia recons, said ea' enee the little country church, where at 8 o'clock there was a service. In the porch of this church is the following notice: On the way to the Lord's house be thoughtful, be silent, or say but little, and that little, good. Never stay out- side, but go in at eke. Time spent ! inside should be precious, In church kneel humbly and pray. Remember the presence into which you have come. Do not look about to see who liege come in, nor for any other cause. It matters nothing to you what others are doing. Attend to yourself. After church remain kneeling and pray; speak to no one until you are outside. The ehureh is Cod's house, even when prayer is over. Be quiet and thoughtful as you go. On your way home be careful of your talk, or the world will slip back into your heart. Remember where you have been and what you have done. II. Rebuking. Jesus "rebuked" tbe "unclean spirit" (vs. 23-25). Never stop for a moment to argue. With the voice of authority command him to hold. his peace. Be prompt, resolute, determined. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth bid hit/11)e gone. He is never so danger- ous as when he is complimentary. Turn away tbe shafts of his flattery with eth e sword of the spirit. If he suggests, "That was a kind act," silence him with "I know that in nue .. dwelleth no good thing" (Rona vii. 18) ; "but the Father that dwelleth in me, Ile doeth the works" (John xis". 10). Jesus rebuked the fever which had prostrated. Peter's mother-in-law (v. xxxi., Luke iv. 39) . Be rebuked tbe winds and the sea because their disturb- ances were caused by the unclean spirits (Matt. viii. 26). He rebuked the demon who tormented a child (Matt. xvii. 18). Ilo rebuked James and John when they, in their mistaken zeal for his honor, asked him to command fire from heaven to counting the Samaritan village be- cause it refused to show hospitality to him (Luke ix. 55).

Seven -eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes - because she has the quali- ties which inspire admira- tion, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more at- tractive to men than mere regularity of feature. The influence of women glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world could never be measured. Because of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and de- stroyed. What a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beautyfadiug away before a year passes over her head 1 A sickly, half- dead -and -alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyous- ness in the home, and a drag upon her husband, The cost of a wife's con- stant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often toeing does no good. i a9I Iv :'0 _ - SSM 4 ' N-2- .

Pink - ham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the' women of America than aA othex medicines put together. It is the safeguard of woman's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinitham:- 4i Ever duce my ohild was born I have suf- fered, as I hop* fevr women ever have, with inflammation., femaloweakness,bearingdown pains, backache and wretched headaches, It a�ftectod my stomach so that X could not en- joy and half my time was spent in bed, "LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grate- ful that I am glad to write and tell you of my marvelous recovery. It' brought me health, new lito and vitality" What Lydia Ti,. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every woman who is in poor health and ailing. Its benefits bogie when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick women well, and robust,' Remember Lydia E. Iiinkham's Vega - table Compound holds the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to by. the thousands of letters from,grate- ful women whioh are on file in the Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can produce such results.

Montreal: Whoicsate trade continues to show a quiet tone in all Ines. Orders for spring business have also 'been n lit- tle disappointing. Lack of snow has affected the anovement of retail lines in the country. Deliveries of spring day goods are now being made. Deese goods prices are advancing. lroeer-ies continue quiet. Metals and hardware are report- ed in excellent demand, and prices are generally steady to firm.. Remittances during the past week have been a little slow, and there is also room for improve- ment in city collections. Toronto: The predominating feature hi trade here has been the bad effect of the continuation of. mild weather on all lines of business. Winter stocks'are not moving well throughout the coun- try, althonmli.. in the north and. eastern part of the Province sleighing helped matters considerably. The hardware trade eontinnues fairly active. and the continued activity in vine building trades has increased Nee demand for supplies. Prime show a firm tone. Groceries are quiet. Sugars easy and dull and canned goods very firm on light stocks. Onta- rio collections are .generally fair. Winnipeg: General business continues to improve, and with more seasonable weather there has been a better demand for dry goods and winter limes generally. The movement in spring business 0011. - filmes very eneoura„ ing, and heavy dry goods and hardware orders are being shipped. The need for caution, however, is being impressed on wholesalers and retailers threughout the country. Victoria, and. Vancouver: Wholesale and retail trade here continue quiet. Mild weather ]was interfered with the movement of dry goods, lout it has per- • mitt ed innroh outdoor work that Other- wise would have been impossible.
