In Matt. 15: 22 she is called "a, woman ot Canaan." This e:;:pression declares her religious tendency; she was a Gentile, besought hitu-Her earneetness led her to make a decided effort to secure relief. Matthe\V records her Words, "Have Mercy upon me" (15: 22), although it was not she, but her daughter, that was directly afflicted. However, her daughter's affliction would be her own. that he would cost forth the devil. out of her daughter -the de- moniac was one whose being was etrangely interpenetrated by one or more of those fallen spirits, who are constantly asserted in scripture (un- der the name of demons, evil spirits, unclean spirits, the chief being the devil, or Satan) to be the enemies and tempters of the souls of men.

Jesus said unto her -He did, not repel her, although his disciples "be- sought him" to "send her away" (Matt. 15:23). It ie not meet -It is not fit- ing or consistent.. The children's, bread -By the term children he means the Jews. It was not in keeping with mission to bestow upon Gentiles the blessings designed for the Jews, even though the latter .were rejecting him and. despising the benefits he was free- ly offering them. Cast it unto the dogs --Jteus in applying the epithet dogs to the 6entiles, was following the mode of expression of the times, for the Jews looked upon all others as dogs. The woman was not to be repulsed even by being classed with dogs. - She saw a ray of hope in the words of Jesue, "Let the children. first be filled," for there might be somethince left for the. dogs that were aectistoined to run about the ta- ble. 28. .Yes, Lord -I admit all you say, Her strong desire and faith made her keen sighted, for the very words Jesus need to put away her request were turned into an argument in her favor. Yet the dogs...eat of the chil- dren's criunbs-Here the picture is com- plete. The household are gathered about the table and the crumbs aeni- dentally let fall to the floor are eagerly seized by the hungry and ever -watchful dogs. The dogs were not denied this privilege, nor should she, Gentile dog, as she was, be deni ed the crumb she craved. 29. For this, saying -In what she had said this Gentile woman ex- pressed both desire and faith. Jesus said to her, "0 woman, great is thy faith" ;Matt. 15:28). The devil is gone out of thy daughter -The 'victory was worth all the effort, ,humiliation. per- eistency and faith necessary to its at- tainment. II.

What did jesus say about his faith? PRACTICAL SURVEY. Topic -Genuine faith. 1. Tested. II. Honored. Teeted. In tide lesson we learn that the most aetonishing and acceptable fitith may be exereised by the most un. likely persons. On this occasion jesus had left His own country and people, and smight retirement among the Gen- tiles. The boendless compassion of the Son of God accounts for the fact that He could not be hidden, The heathen woman is an illustration of the great drawing that exists between the Sa,yioue and the soul that needs and seeks Him. -We may safely regard his sole purpose in going to that pla,ce was to minister to that sufferer, and to crown her faith and make her an example to those who stood by, as well as to fu- ture generations. She had much against her in her circumetancee. In the eyes of the Jewa she belonged to the most hated of the Gentile rues. She receiv- ed little countenance from Christ% dis- ciples. They desired Him to send her away, but it was not from them that she sought help. Though a heathen in religion and an alien in rue oho tredit- ed what she had heard of Jeeus. Her faith overeame natural prejudice in herself and the fear of its influence in others, There are many striking 'feat- ures in the character of thie WOrnan, her motherly eare, her energy, humility and pleading. She had a deep sorrow spurring her on to make every exertion. She felt her need and the true char- acter of her affliction. Jesue tried her faith by perfect silence, by seeming in- difference and by apparent reproach, but ehe could not be defeated became ehe would not doubt. She turned that which seemed most against her into an argument in her favor. She did not be- lieve in Jesus as a sectarian Saviour. She was deeperately resolved. Though a dog, she pleaded her aseociation with the children. She granted to the Jews the first place, and counted herself next, thue exalting d'esue as the Saviour of all. She most firmly believed Christ to be the Lord, able to work a miracle on her daughter. It meant a very great thing to have her daughter delivered, though to Chriet it wae a mere crumb, compared with His supply of power. Ob- serve her creed which had grown 'from email knowledge. The centurion presents another remarkable example of faith in a Gentile soldier. He was earnest, simple, devout. His faith was great in itself„ereat ate compared with that of the Jews. He had gone far in advance of the age. Honored. The faith of the Canaan- itish woman triumphed over all disap- pointments and atteined her desire, She asked for no change in the divine order of salvation, hut a fulfilment uf it Her patience proved the greatness of her faith and her humility was eompanion to her patienee, Nothing conquers maj- esty like humility. that was appat- ently imposeible to reason became facts to her faith in its persistent exercise. To a wonderful degree she entered into the meaning of -Christianity. The earnestness of that heathen wolnat rebuked the ig- norance and ingratitude of the Jews. By it the disciples were educated for their missionary work, and made to Gee how valuable a soul is. She came asking a mercy for herself and went away carrying it to others. She. had admitted that she could ask but lietle, yet believ. ingly dared to pronounce that little cer- bin, At the height of her faith Jeeus said, "0 woman, ,great. is thy faith," and for that faith He granted her full re- quest. Her faith was owned, commend- ed and honored by the author of it. Her humility had gone deep and. her faith rose high. She displayed the elements of prevailing prayer in her sincerity, humility, importunity and faith, Thh faith of the centurion was also glori- ously rewarded. In his words, "I witl come and heal," ,TeGus expreesed Ths own gracious method in dealing with mankind, He announced with , the centurion's display of faith, :the mga- thering of the Gentile nations. aeeee A NARROW ESCAPE Sunken Steamer' s Crew Has Hard Fight for Life. 11••••• Detroit, Oet. 13. ---Eleven persons, ono of them woman, were toesed about by the stormy waters of Lake Erie kr two home yeeterday afternoen and fin- ally suceeeded landing on the beach eixteen mike from Erie, Pa.

In. the meantime the Board of Edu- cation, -which gave permission to Prin- cipal Hutchinson, of the High School, to expel Temple from the school, have with- drawn that permission, and the boy has not been expelled, as reported.

Sam Hughes returned to Ottawa to -night af- ter his visit to England, where he at- tended the British army manomevres. The Minister of Militia, speaking of the manoeuvres and the• reaeon for their isr- mination, said: "The manoeuvres were brought to a close because they were over. aka for the aeroplanes, the 4th Division, under General Grierson. numbering 15,000 men, were never once seen from the aeroplanes, and the , reports as to the whereabouts of other corps were merely cursory. The opposing armies had be- come interlocked, and fighting would have had to be continued at very close range in the darknees. Whatever merit there is in night fighting in actual war- fare, it was eertainly absent in the peace manoeuvres, the umpires having, di f ty in keeping the forces suffieiently apart in daylight." The Minister also stated that the ra- pid travelling of the birdmen made ob- eervation very uncertain. Moreover, in actual warfare aeroplanee would be enb- ject to attack from other airships and from machine guns. For observation purpeees, Colonel Hughee favors the dirigible. balloon, although even those would have their work restricted to neu- tral ground. TRAIN STRUCK GIRL London, Ont.

So it was agreed that Lord and Lady Wedderburn should. go to Dunraven for a month's stay, and they they returned to Castle Royal for a time before going to town for the sea- sons. The Ladies Somerville, Drake, Moreton and Heathcote lived. only one square away, and were rejoiced that they were so near Dorothy. When Lord and Lady Wedderburn re. turned. from Dunraven to Castle Royal, every one knew that Lord Wedderburn had. married, and gone on a tour for a month. They came home to the dear, old place. There was no happier or prouder mother in the realm than Lady Alicia Home.

There was the elighteet hesitation in her voice, and he saw it, but she thought of her aunts' advice and she granted the request. The next day, Lady Alicia was to call also, but she. was shown up into the Ladle& private pa.rlors; while Lord Wedderburn and Miss Roelyn were showa the great drawing -room. They bad talked of love, at the mention of the word Lord Wedderburn had paled. Tle could not Gee file expression on Miss Roslyn's face. "I bave waited so long to tell you a sad. sad story and ask you to belp me, if you can. It is the story of one man's love, but it is as deep as death itself."

"I do," she anewered, and at that mo- ment visitors were ushered into the drawing -room. Lord. Wedderseurn Was almost wild. Now that he„ had. learned to love another he heard. that Dorothy was alive. He had a hard battle with his own heart. "He would remain true to Dorothy. He had loved her, and she was his, and hie heart :should be true to her." Ile -was to cal lagain that evening and he aasieted Lady Alicia, into the carriage and left for home. Ile could not an.alyze his own feelings. He was both sad and happy.

They told all the story of Dorothy Wynterts life, omitting not the slightest act. Lord. Wedderburn was stunned. "Where is Dorothy?" he asked. "She is with her aunts, the Ladies Somerville, Drake, Moreton and Heath- eote, and you, my Lord, know her as Miss Raelyn, which wee her grandfath- er's name."
