He placed the diseiples in cir- curnstences which qualified them to be witnessee to feats. Be eetabliehed liv- ing: truths in their hearts. He wars the. subjeet of Hie own ministry. Galilee wad full of rabbis, who taught for doctrine0 the oommandments of men. Jesus held the minds of .men to spiritual thomss. He, the teaeher of humility, began Ris miesion at a town where pride reigned chiefly. He embodied all His inetruetions in His own bleseed example. The art of preaehing as exercised by Jesus, was the fishing for men, The great principle, which He would have instilled in the mind of His followers was brought mot in the miracle which followed Hifi preaehing the word of God, "the gospel of the kingdom of God," and tat was perseverance in duty, in the absence of seembag success. He was ohooeing gos- pel pioneere. He honored diligence in humble employment. It was in doing Hie daily work for Christ's§ sake, that Peter took his firet and most needed leseon in apostleship, the lesson of humility. In obeying theUfi Peter's faith rose above natural eifficulties and rested on Christ's command. It led to decisive action. The previous night of failure was not without its lesson and benefit. Jesus came to the fishermen when they wore feeling their. failure, but found them working. Their working thus regardless of failure, and their willing - flee to try a.gain, were evidence of their fitnees for higher work. Christ does not put men into the ministry simply be- cause they are unfortimate in /secular ooneerns, He ealled open Peter and his partners to leave their business at its highest suceess. The Lard's purpose in the naraele was to inspire enthusiasm for spiritual work, II. The preparation. Conversion is most fully displayed when it leads con- verte to. 'seek the conversion of others. Josue gave Peter the highest of all call- ings, to beeeme a fisher of men. Dia- cipleiship means ministry. The effect of the miraele was to reveal the true character of °heist to Peter and, to re- veal Pete' to laimeelf. His oonviction of sin was deepened by a better knowledge of Christ, 'His Cry of self-loatking was the first impulse of fear and amazement before adoration and love, of fox that repelled and of love that dew. Jesus recognized i. Peter that true de- votion, whieh, under further guidance) and teaching, would qualify him, fer apostleship. As He had inetructed weeie to cast his net and how to bring :n the fish ao would he instruct him iu win- ning men,- He promised qualifieetion on condition that Peter would follow fully and untrammeled. 'Phis sarne con- dition was laid upon all alike. Intimate aesoeia,tion with Jams was the most certain assurance that theme diseiples wmild 'beeorne effective miuisters of the goepel. Their faith, their relianee on him and their concern for othere must be strong in eoneequencee of their fellow- ship in the saving of eouls Jesus works through instrumentality. He takes vreakneee into his hands and makes it strong. In the miracle he illustrated this by milking use of the fishermen, their boat a and their nets, and also shoeved that no faithful toil ahould be with reward. He further suggested meth- od by choosing his pulpit .in the midst of deity life. He taught that taking Jesus into business makes the common daily work of life bring glorious imin- iftistations of His presence and power. Jeeus answered the prayer of Peter's heart, and not the utterance of his lips. . T. R. A. ie -he HEBERT MARRIAGE Judge Charbonneau De clares it Valid.

Toronto, Feb. 26. -The legislative provision for the division of the Pro- vince into health districts will probab- ly come before the House this week. The necessary amending clause is being placed in the health act now in the hands of the Statute Revision Commission. The Province will be divided into ten districts, each comprised of five or more counties. The amendment will not fix the boundaries of the dis- trittie, which will be determined later, prebably according to population, with the counties in each district grouped along the railway lines to al- low the inspectors to cover the ground easily. Northern Ontario will likely be div- ided into two or three districts, Tem- fskaming arid the reining districts comprising one, ante the rapidly de- yeloping territore to the west with Fort William and Port Arthur, Sault Ste. Marie and Kowa probably mak- ing two more. The new provision will not apply to the larger cities possessing efficient health departments. Cities of over 60,000 population ong probably be left out.

Toronto, Feb. 20.-"I have decided to commit my life to use all the strength which God hoe glen me to the suppres: sion of all the evils which are identified with the priesthood as identified with the Roman Catholic, Church," declared Ree. C. 0, Johnston, last night in a ser- mon dealing with the subject of "Con- fession, One of th.e erogmas of the Church of Rome." Mr. Johnston expressed the belief that auricular confession to a priest tended to the deterioration of both the priest and the penitent. He further declared that there was no scriptural warrant for confession. Touching on the "Ne Temere" decree Rev. Mr. Johnston said.: "A woman who had married three years ago came to me the other day in- forming Inc that her husband had left her stating that he had seen the priest, who had told him that the woman he married being a Protestant and he a Catholic, they were not legally married. She did not know what she was now, and did not know what to do.

London, Feb. 25. -Great Britain contemplates competing with France and Germany in building up an avia- tion fleet. It is expected that the forthcoming estimates will contain a liberal provision for the purchase of aeroplanes. Ten have already been ordered., and before summer the army will possess from 24 to 80, which will be built to meet the requirements of the army. Captain von Simon, a retired Ger- man naval officer, who Is engaged in the manufacture of Paxseval dirigible airships, is in London in connection with the forthcoming army contracts. He said that, while aeroplanes are included in their military require, month, Germany, Austria and Russia are putting faith, in the dirigibles, Japan has ordered a, dirigible airship of 7,300 cubic metres, which is to be delivered in March. The captain as- serts that the objection to the dirig- ible airship that it is unable to aseend quickly, has been overcome. The lat. est model rises 6,400 feet in less than 16 minutes, which is fastor than any. thing an aeroplane can do in that line. One airship traveled frora 131t. terfleid to Cologne and return this Week in 16 hours, whiele is faster than the time made by an express train. ommOWwww WEDDED 50 YEARS.

Toronto, Feb. 26, The 0114140 Scout.. meters' eonfereace closed with an one. mated discussion on the subjeet of emoking by scoutmasters on Saturday aftornoon. Scoutmaster A. Clark, of Wyeliffe College, depreeeated the doll - do -as -I -do -bet -do -as -I -say attitude of ecoutimastere towerde the- scout. He smoked himself, but gave it up when with Ms E46ute,. The scoutmasters were the living examPles for the boys, and it was up to them to stop smoking, Scoutmaster Fred Tod procleaimee the principle that no man could lay down law for others, or his part he smoked with his scouts around hine, but by appealing to their reason the boys saw the evils which would remelt from smoking 111 thole youth and didn't touch the weed. Soutmaeter Fred Tod proclaimed the that the stoppingof emoking by boys WAS OM of evolution rather than revo- lution. Let the scoutmasters go on, in their own wa.y, honestly. For even if a bad man were a. little bit honeg the 1.e:testat,e.r:mamkia otnd gs oGpoudr smv nay 1 ne:w1 ildh;e1011krvessetalllid,iyilusll7 said he enjoyed a good cigar, and. he didn't intend to stop the enjoyment. He didn't believe in making too nueny "don'ts" and "can't's" about emoking, for then it was like an apple in the garden of Eden. Thie closed the discussion. Speaking on the "Duties of a Dietrict Commissioner," Mr. J. Garfield Gilxion, of Ingersoll, declared they ehuold "go a little easy" in the decoration of SCOUte. He didn't believe in fixing too high a staiidard for decorations and say that unless a scout attained it he would not get the decoration. On the ether hand, he deprecated handing badges out all round: If a scout made an honest effort to reach the standard of efficiency he would grant hixa the badge. Further, the commiessioner should see to it that the,re was harmony amongst the officers. Strict discipline amongst the officers, Mr. Gibson said, didn't pre- vail at the scout camp which was neld at exhibition grounds last fall. Mr. Gibeon's parting advice wa.s upoxt the need for care in selecting officer. Scoutmaster G. W. Tebbs, commie:- elorter for the county of Waterloo, re- counted the experiences of a troop of 18 Waterloo scouts ender his leader- ship on a hundred -mile trek from their home town to Toronto. Mr. A. E. Mercer, &lemming "Camp Sanitation," hied stress on the necessity of taking every precaution to Preserve the health of the boys while at eamp. Lieut. -Col. Fotheringtam epoke on "Discipline," cit- ing notable examples of its observance and non-obseevanee. Proper training in the home, said, the doctor, did more to make the man or the woman than all school theory could do. Dr. C. 3. 0. Hastings, medical health offieer, gave a familiar talk on "Sanitation and Hy- giene as a Prevention Against Disease," and. &outlet:ester Fred Tod read an illaminative paper on "Principles of Troop Work. President W. K. George, on behalf of the council, expressed deep appreciation of the ettendance of the scoutmasters from out of time. Some time in the future -he hoped it would be some -he looked forward to the holding of a national conference for Oanada. On be- half of the council, Mr. George Presented Scout Gorden Rosser with a thanks badge as a token of appreciation for his work in connection with preparations for the conference.
