PRACTICAL SURVEY,
Topie-erlie Ministry of Dieeipleship.
I. The eali,
11 The preptiretion.
1. The yell. John the Baptist prepared
the 'way for Jous, and on hie being
imprieoned, and hie lifeewerk aecoM-
plislie4, (TORUS then prepared the way for
His disoiples, for the time when they
should be left to carry Ilis gospel to
the ends of the earth. He made provie.
ion for the perpetuity of Hie kingdom
He 'brought thoee who were to be main
pillars in the church, under Hie own
training. 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.

Most lines of goods are on hand, but
eotton prints and one or two other
lines of textileare inclined to be elow

HEALTH ACT
Government to Divide Pro.
vince into Ten Districts.
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.
Hon. W. J. Hanna:Cs reform in the
health sygeta has been commended
by n-1 alcal men generally, and it 's
eepereed will tette with approval of
tho Opposition. In a recent address
in the Legislature, Dr. McQueen, Lib-

Subjects Discussed.
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

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.
The election of officers resulted as
follow: Hon. President, Sir John M.
