The Geutie Woman's Fatties -Mare 7: 2.4-30. Commentary. -I. In heathen borders (ve. 24.) 24. From thence he arose - That le, after delivering the discourses Capernaum. Eldertheim thinks that Jeinut and the twelve apoetles went im- mediately to the north coimtvy, while otherthink there was a short delay in, or near, Capernaum before etartiug out. Borders of Tyre and Sidon -Tyre and Sidon were heathen cities on the east west of the hlediterranean Sea. They were the principal eities of Phoenicia, a country northweet of Caperaanni, and which lay between the Lebanon Mottle tain ranges an the Great Sea. They were .ancient and important cities and Imre they signify the a -bole Phoenician district. Jesus had never visited the country before and now U is not clear whether Ile really entered heathendom or stopped just ()aside, near the bor- der. Wertheim holds to the latter op- inion; several good authorities do not venture an opinion; while some of the latest maps represent him as actually entering the cities of Tyre and Sidon, 'which is very doubtful. Into an house - In all probability the house of a Jew. ' Edersheim thinks He must have tarried here several days; the fact that He de- sired to be kept hid, but could ..not would suggest this.

Coal not be lud -"It seems that Be was personally known to many in this country, who had seen and heard. Him in Galilee." 11. .A. mother's request (vs. 25, 26). 25. Whose young daughter -The actual euf- ferings of the daughter were great, but the sufferings which the mother en- dured by sympathy were still greater. Our sufferings for others are great in proportion of the amount of love we have for them. Hence the greatest suf- ferer on earth was Christ.-Ilom. Com. An unclean spirit -Matthew says ber daughter Was "greviously vexed with a devil." This was certainly a sad ease. Nothing can destioy the peace of a borne more than to have a daughter pos. sewed with Satanic influences. The spirit that possessed this girl Was an unelean-a vile spirit. At His feet -This at once shows the humility of the woh roan; she assumed the most. lowly atti- tude possible as she appeals to His mercy. 26. Woman was a Greek -"]3y lent. unge."-Gleikie. The Jews celled those who were idolaters Greeks, or Gentiles, A Sy.raphenician by nation -A Syro- Phoenician. Phoenicia belong to the Ro- man Province Syria. "She was a Syrian of Phoenicia." Matthew says, she "was a woman of Canaan." "During the earl- iest times of Jewish history, several tribes of Canaanite& who were the or- iginal inhabitants of Palestine, had re- tired northward. before the Israelites. From these the Phoenicians were des. cended."---Lange. Besought Him. -Earn- estly entreated Min. The case was an ur- gent one, and on her knees ab His fed she poured. out her requst. Would cast forth -She believed He had power to do this. Mathew says she "cried. un- to Him, saying, Have amity on me, 0 Lord, thou son of David." She plead for mercy; she knew she could make no claim upon Him in any other way. The woman recognized Jesus as the Jewish Messiah; elm called Him "Lord" and "The son of David" -terms distinctive- ly Jewish. "The state of this woman is a proper emblem of the state of a. sin- ner deeply eonseious of the misery of hi a soul." III. Faith tested. (v. 27). 27. Jesus amid - This woman's discouragements were great: 1. Her advantages had been smaB. She was a heathen woman with but little means of even obtaining the light of the Hebrew Scriptrues. 2. At first Jesus did not reply to her request Matt. xv. 24). 3. When Jesus did. speak she crieth after Us." 'Mee has been ing salvation frequently meets these same tests, and many beeome discour- aged by them. The disciples were an- noyed. They said, "Send her away, for she erieth afetr us." "This has been greatly snisunderstood. To 'send h.er away,' according to Oriental idioms, would be to grant her request, cure her child, and let her go. The disciples knew that Christ desired privacy, so they urged. a 'prompt miracle so that the wom- aree cries would cause no further note- riety."---illustmtive Notes. The children -The Jews. First be filled -They are the favored. people. "The gospel was first to be offered to the Jews, end to them our Lord's personal ministry on earth was chiefly restricted." Jesus told her that His blessings were for the lost of Israel (Matt.). This would have caused people with ordinary faith to have given up the struggle, but not so with this woman; she came now and worshipped Him, saying, "Lord, help me" (Matt.). Seemingly repelled, she still worthipped. Here was a personal, elirect, simple, comprehensive, humble prayer. Not ineet-It is not suitable -not the proper thing to do. Children's bread - To take those blessings that belong to the Jews. Unto the dogs -For "dogs" read. "little dogs," household pets, such as ran around the table at meal -time. Thia was the severest teet of all. The Gentiles were considered by the J ewish people as no better than dogs, and Jesus only tised a form of speech whieh was common; but it must have'been very of- fensive to the beathen. IV. Faith rewarded (vs. 28-30). 28, Yes, Lord -'Truth, Lord" (Matta. It le all so. The Jews -the favored ones ought to be blessed first. I know 1 am heathen -only a Gentile dog, Yet -Now follows (1) an answer to His argument against entertaining her petition, and (2) a most fondling appeal to His clem- ency.

Jesus wild, "0 woman, great is thy faith" (Matt.). Her faith was "great in it* ternestneees, its Immility, it overcoming great obstacles." "The hindrancea thrown in the avonian's way ort:y tended to increase her faith.

The missionary went to the dark, miserable room where the mother, two sons and mad daughter lived, The gir was confined in a cage with wooden bars. Her face was sweet and pathetic even in its wildness. She went from side to side, or tried to climb the bars like a wild animal. The missionary'e heart ached for the poor, caked child, but there were no asylums for the the insane poor in Japan. There was but one thing to do; let the strong faith and tender love of Christ's well up in her heart. And the girl caught the glow of it. She looked at her wonderingly, inquiringly; let her stroke her arm and speak sooth- ingy.When the wild look cense back. The missionary and her assistant read to the mother of the healing of the daugh- ter of this WOMarl of Canaan, and. told her God would hear them for her daugh- ter, and knelt and prayed, and sang - "Jesus, lover of my soul."

The next day the mother came and told the mission- ary the daughter had slept nearly all night. The week following the girl ask- ed to knit and. wished the "Jesus pee. ple" would come again. They went. The sons got work and the mother came to the missionary, "The crazy girl is well; God healed her. It began with the pray- er and the song." Then the missionary went again and saw a young girl sit- ting by the door in perfect health, with a happy face, and never dreamed it was the once crazed lunatic whom her faith and love had brought to Jesus. But it was even so. III. She was tested. "It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it unto the dogs" (v. 27.) Spurgeon says, "We have no more faith at any time than we have in the hour of trial. All that will not bear to be tested is camel confidence. Fair weather is no faith. No man ever bad faith ani was svitte out trial. That could not be, for faith, in the nature of it, implies a degree of trial. I believe the promise of God. My faith is tried in believing the promIsr.!, in waiting for the fulfilment, in hold- ing on to an assurance while it is de- layed, and to act upon it until it is in all points fulfilled to me.

It is only after ,one has been cut off from the world. for a long period, as I have, that one eau understand bliejoys of walking in the streets. Until last week I had not been for a AYalk, except in the dreary and monotonous exercise yards of prison, for 4,000 days. How many miles I have walked about the streets of London during there past few days I shoold nob like to say. At first I was so unused to human beings and crowds that I was afraid to go out, ami several times turned back with great relief to the shelter of a house. After a time, I suppose, a prisoner and his warder become as a child with its nurse, For twelve years I had been watched', watched by day, watched. through it peep- hole in the cell at night. I had no. snore volition than it packet sent by parcel post. I have been a slave of routine and espionage.

WINGHAM. Left Canada Some Years Ago for the West, and Nearly a Year Ago Start- ed on a Prospecting Trip to the Death Valley Country, Cornwall, May 21. -Cornwall friends were shocked this week by news from Ely, Nevada, that the headless body of Judge Lawrence Bethune had been found near Arsenic Springs. The deceased was the second sop of the late Augus Bethune, for many years Police Magistrate at Cornwall, and a brother of the late James Bethune, K. C., of Toronto. Ire left this country a quarter of a cen- tury ago- and had since resided in the west. Nearly a year ago be started on it prospecting trip to the Death Val- ley country and was never seen alive afterwards. Last October his pack train was found by a prospector and taken to Goldfield. Search parties were sent out, but fail- ed to find him, and after it couple of weeks the search was abandoned. The remains, when found the other day, were bndly bitten by coyotes, which had thew - ed the head from the body. The borly was shrunken and the skin tightened on the fleshless bones by the action of the wind and sun. The remains were identified by means of papers in the tattered clothing. It is thought that Bethune rae out of wa- ter, became crazed and died of thirst. One of his brothers is George L. Beth- une, of Ely, Nev., a well-known milling man. Another is Hank Bethune, who at one time held the 100 yards record of the sprinting world. THE RE.D CROSS. DICKINSON & HOLMES Barristers, Solicitors, etc. Oface : Meyer Block Winghens. E. L.
