the Jews for the speaker to sit, Jeeus'
iiitting down was a signal that he was
about to speak. The eyes of all...were

who had lived there frem childhood.
They Inust have been impressed with
his piety and moral strength. They had
heatd of the wonderful works done by
him. For these reasons they were eager
to hear his words. 21. Scripture ful-

elaim when he deelared that the worde
read by him (ve. 18, 19) were fulfilled

had a partial fulfilment in the restora-

have 'its complete fulfilment in the com-

22-27). 22. Gracioue words -"Words of
graee."-R. V. As the text is full of
worde of grace and mercy to those who
wed them, so was the sermon. Hence
even these rude Nazarene highlanders
"bare witness," that is, fully felt and
acknowledged the blessed power with
which that grace proclaimed.-Whedon,
1s not this Joseph' sOn--They knew
Jems only as Joseph's son, and not as
the son of the Most Hiesh, therefore
they were amazed at his remarkable dis.
course, and at the Barite time were not
ready to accept his Meesialiship. 23.
Physieian, heal thyself-jesus had. read
their thoughts and anticipated their ob-
jections. They would demand that, in-
asinneh as he had declared. that he was
the Messiah, he prove his Messiahship
by working miraclee among his friends
and neighbors. They might also have
considered him in as great need as he
had declared that they were. If he was
the Christ, -why was he so poor and
hamble? Done in Capernaum-The only
recorded miracle wrought by jesus in
Capermtum up to the time of this visit
to Nazareth ig the healing of the noble-
man's son (John 4: 46-54), but silence
regarding other miracles is no proof
that they were not wronght. See John
21:25. Do also here -The people of
Nazareth were determined to test either
the honesty oi Jeens or his power, or
hoth. 24. No prophet Is accepted in his
own country -Much truth is embodied
in tide proverb. Those who have known
a neighbor from childhood seem unable,
through familiarity or envy, to ece

I. :Marked the fulfilineut of propnecy.
11. liesulted in the rejeetion of Christ.
I. Marked the fulfihuent of propheey.
Nothing came by ehanee in the life of

home. The time bad eome when He _
should declare publiely to his old
Mende. end assoeiates who De was and
what their opportunities were. He was
eot there to gratify euriosity, but
to give the people of Nazareth oppor-
tunity to aecept the fulfilment of
prophecy and pledoe themselvee to Hint
as believing diteiples. The prophet Isaiah
had plainly declared the mission of the
Messiah. It remained for Jesus to de-
clare before the people that He was the
pereon of whom Isaiah wrote. The Old
Testament seripturee wore a mirror in
which Jesus beheld His own image and
revealed it to others. If men refused
Him, there was no other to whom they
might look for the fulfilment of pro-
phecy, The books of the Old Testament
were in a maamer shut itp to the under-
standing, until Jesus opened them. To
the people of Nazareth, ilesue gave an
account of Hie mission, His divine val.
ification, and the design of His. office
ill the unfolding of their ficrip-
tures. He went in the power of the
Spirit to his old acquaintances to tell.
them whet they could not learn 101
themselves, The whole purpose and plan
of deliverance and redemption lay be-
fore Min xis an open book. He pierced
through all symbolism to its centre,
and drew one its eignificanee. He knew
what God had dont and would do. Jesus
efane tO produee a state of heart in man
throughout the world, the outgrowth of
whieh would be to redeem the world
from crime and 'oppression, The people
of Nazareth were given to understand
the mission of Christ and the gospel,
and a general view of Christ'e work
aniong, men. They were made to fee)
that everything of knowledge that ten&
to the elevatiou of the human family
ie an unfolding of Christia,nity; that
the power of the gavel le the heart -
life; and that its principles are such
- that, if obeyed by all, there would be
no abject poor.
II. Resulted la the rejection of Christ.
The fact that Jesus was brought Up in
Nazareth made it diffieult to convince
the people that he was the Messiah. It
wee difficult Tor them to realize th'et
one of lowly rank, limited education,
and with no wealth, could be so infinite.
ly superior to them as to be the Mee-
eiah, It was the first time, so far as -we
know, that Jesus taught in their syna-
gogue, yet He was ready to preach
where He had been known all His life.
The first effect was wonder and admir-
ation. It was when the truth was press-
ed home to their consciences and their
own defects discovered that resistance
began. They could not bear even a
hint that sadvation was to extend to
the Gentiles. They were disposedtto dic-
tate to Jesus and to cavil at His min-
istry. They Inade the mistake of expect-
ing that Nazareth should receive the
some ministry that was given to Caper-
naum. Na,zareth had had nearly thirty
years of the sinlese We of Christ, which
the seaside town had not, yet that very
advantage became the source of un-
grounded prejudices, which became ob.
stacks in the way of their faith. The
.people of Nazareth condemned them-
selves while imagining evil against
Jesus. Every prejudice against Chris-
tianity eontains the germ of its ow»
destruction. They rejected Christ en ac-
count of that which should have secur-
ed His acceptance. What He declared in
store for them was what they so mueli
needed, yet unbelief became the great
foe to their best interests. The rejection
at Nazareth was but the foreshadow-
ing of the conduct of the Jews as a 11a,
tion. T, R. A.

CROP CENSUS.
•400
Dominion Government Re-
port Issued.
Ottawa, Ang, 19, -The Censeue and
Statistics Departm.ent of the Domin-
ion Government made an. important
announcement to -day of the condition
of crope in Canada, based on infor-
mation from correspondents received
up to the first, of the month. The
crop condition up to the end of July
may be summarized as generally fav-
orable, giving neither the exception-
ally favorable promises of the same
date last year, dor the equally ex-
ceptionally unfavorable promise of
the year before, In Quebec the con-
dition is below that of the other eight
Provinces. The average condition
of spring wheat is 83 per cent. of
standard for the whole of Canada;
oats, beeley, rye and mixed grains
80, corn 70, potatoes and root crops
80. Hay is in excellent condition. In
every case Quebec is the exception
to this high standing.
Fall wheat did not fully recover
from the severe winter. For the
Provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Sas-
Itatchewan, Alberta and British Col-
umbia, the average yield of fall wheat
will be 21.48 bushels per acre, in-
dicating a total yield of 16,773,300
bushels from tut effectiVe area of
781,000 acres -as compared with 26,-
014,000 bushels from 1,122,119 acres
as the final figeres of 1911.
It is estimated that the total yield
of hay and clover this year will be
11,038,000 tons and of alfalfa 177,300
tons. This is tsomewhat below the
early estimates of the 1911 crop.

BUTTER EXPORT FALLING.
Ottawa, Aug. 19. -Though the
greater proportion of the better at
present Imported Into Great Britahe
eomes from the overseas Dominions,
and though that Importation has in-
creased tremendously within the past
decade, Canada has ceased to be a
feetor in. the export of butter to
Great Britain. This fact is learned
from a report from the Trade Com-
missioner at Birmingham just isseed
by the DepartMent of Trade and
Commerce. Ten years ago Canada,
which Is the nea,rest of the Dominions
to Great 'Britain, exported the sub-
stantial quantly of 13,000 tons of
Canadian butter to Great Britaiii.
Twelve months ago- the export fell
te• 770 tons. For the year ended laet
June, Canadian better never received
a quotation on the London market.

Winnipeg Dealer's Plans to
Get Supply.
Winnipeg, Aug, 19. -Commenting
the present critical condition of the
Western Canadian -twine market, a pro-
minent dealer said thie morning that
the English mills+ had twine on haled
which eould be brought over on cable
orders and further advocated that the
goality test lee removed from the Amer -
lean product. "It was only a few years
ago," Ile said, "that English manufac-
turers of binder twine were shipping
fair quantities into Western Canada,
but they practically abandoned the ma r-
ket because of their losses through the
credit system prevailing. These English
firms do business at home on a strictly
wish basis, and were not prepared to un.
dertake. the very heavy expenses of cot -
!action here.
"I do not think the situation has
been exaggerated. Demand has taxed
the supply to the limit. I am in favor
or keeping up the government test ex-
cept in this present emergency, but now
I would like to see every pound from
every available source, including Ameri.
Call prison labor and English twine ad.
mitted without reetrietiqn."

New York, Aug. 19. -The approaeh of
the fall harvest traffic is causing steam-
ship agents here and abroad inany dis-
quieting moments, owing to a shortage
of eteamships to carry the heavy export
trade soon expected. According to
freight ex.perts, there has been a great
deal of world trade during the peat two
years, but the searcity of suitable yes.
eels, oceasioned by a long period of de-
pression, finds shippers hard put to it to
secure bottoms for their merchandise.
The great shipbuilding cOncerns of the
world are overburdened with orders for
liners, and the great yards on the Clyde
are up to their ears in work, but no
tramps are being turned out. Unless the
output of this style of vessel is materi-
ally inereaeed soon, commereial men say,
freights will rise higher in the eomiag
years.

was taken to the asylum at the insti-
gation of his brother, who is involved
in the Steel Wire Trust investigation,
and who desired to have him eta of the
way on account of his knowledge of af-
faire. He states that a similar attempt
was made in the States, but thee he
was able to prove his sanity.

to recovery, and may eompletely recov-
er if he will eollow the prescribed treat-
ment. He is declared to be euffering
from a manio•depressive speeies of in.
