I. THE CALL OK TIIK FIRST WSni'I.K. 17-li^. V. 17. This cal of the di-ciples is a matter of if rtat signilicunrr. There are four accounts of this onll in the Ifospels, and all agree in showing tint this was one of the first things to which JeMJs pave his attention. The evidence for this discipleship is very full. He fell the need of having- help- ers who would COIIK- to know him per- sonally, who could le..rn of the true nature '/f bis tpachinjr. and to whom he could cntriis' the future of his kingil'>m. It is only in the case of jfreat men that we find disciples. Ordinary peoplf do not have followers. Jesus fcave a k'-'cnt dial of his time to the training nf the band f intimate followers. He took them with him wherever he went, nnd acted like a teacher to them. The four here men- tioned l.elonffed to the cdinary folk. They were fishermen, who earned their livinp with physical t',i!. Tiicy wiv jvMiun-eful and courageous, and the t-t^ult justified the choice of .lesu*. We may lie astonished that lie did not call nu-n of more influence, 'ho had wraith and fame, but perhaps this HaM was not willing to conu aft-r .TeiM and only a few rich men joined learners. Preach ing was wore formal, and appealed more to the mind and emotions of the hearers. The subject of tho preacher is given here as "the gospel, or i?ood news, of the kingdom"; and this introduces one of the common words of the New Testament. The term, "iunjrdrmi of heaven," or "the kingdom of God,' occurs very frequently in the four gos- pels, thoug.l it is found very seldom in the rest of the New Testament. It occurs in the Old Testament, and means the sovereignty or rule of (lod. Jesus takes a term that was known to the people of his time, and gradually reads new rm-aninf( into it. V. 24. It \vas no wonder that the fame of this preacher spread quickly through the land, especially when we think of these marvelous cures which he wrought on the iih. \Vj should ni)tice in this verse the great variety of his miracles, nnd rpcojjnic the fact that tho hoalinj; nf the sick was a distinctive part of the work of Jesus. In this the- cl.urch h.-is tried to follow his example, in tho founding of hospi- tals, and in all the efforts to care for the necessities of tho body. V. 'J.'i.

A. Paulhus, former pre- sident of the Canadian Fisheries' As- sociation, and one of the leadina wholesale fish merchants of Montreal when asked what he considered to be the major problems of the fisheries of eastern Canada. "Canada's oyster production is hardly one-fourth what it was years ago, aud the quality of Canadian oys- ters we get in this market grows less satisfactory," Mr. Paulhus added. "CM course, it lias been said before, even before the war, that the industry was declining and threatened with ruin. Some efforts have been made to save it by replanting some beds and en- forcim; closer restrictions on fishing. but these have not been successful. The production grows less, and the product sent to this market in the last few years have not helped the reputation of the Canadian oyster Only the superior reputation of ths Canadian oyster inherited from the past has kept it on the market at all. And the producers apparently Uon'l think their business is worth keepine alive, as they send all sizes of shcl.' oysters in the same barrel, and the dealer never knows just what he ia gett ing. U. S.

"The American oyster producers are taking possession of this market ind going the right way about it. 1C you went into a leading hotel in Montreal to-day I doubt if you could get a Canadian oyster.

The average consumer nowadays seldom tastes a succulent Canadian oyster, and few ask for them. Politics in the Way "The trouble is at the producing end and politics stand in the way of the development of oyster fisheries on a business basis. There Is con- flict of jurisdiction between the Fed- eral and Provincial authority. A man may go to the Government of New Brunswick anil obtain a lease of bot- toms suitable for the cultivation on the understanding that he will plant so many oysters a year on beds that have been dupleted. It might be thought that that man when his oys- ter ranch had become ripe to take off a crop would be allowed to decide when he should dredge his surplus oyster and offer them on the market. But no. The Federal Government fixes the fishing season, necessarily short, if all the public beds are not to be depleted right off; and the pri- vate oyster ranches has to dump his crop on a glutted market at sacrifice prices in competition with, dredgers of public beds, who have made no capital investment. Most, if not all, the attempts to establish oystei ranches off the shores of New lirunn- wick havo been failures. P.E.I.
