Mark 7:24-37. °° Golden Text..--God is no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34. AdE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-- Summer, A.D. 20, : Place.--The miracle of healing the daughter of the Syrophoenician wo- man occurred near the borders of Tyre and Sidon, which' could not have been far from the Mediterran- ean coast in northern Palestine; the healing of 'the deaf and dumb man occurred somewhere in Decapolis, a territory south of the Sea of Galilee on both sides of the Jordan River. 214. And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. From Capernaam Jesus went to the Phoenician border. And he en- tered into a house. It might casily have been, and: probably was, the house of a friend. And would have no man knew it; and he could not be hid. Of course, if Jesus wanted to, he could have actually removed him- self suddenly out of the sight of all men, but this would not have been according to the self-imposed limita- tions of his humanity, The true dis- ciple cannot be hid any more than his Master could. In a truly Christ- jan life Christ cannGt be hia--words and actions and abstinences alike tell of him. Of A Different Race 25, But straightaway a woman, whose little daughtar had an unclean spirit, baving heard of kim, came and fell down at his feet. 26. Now the woman was a Greek, ra Syrophoenicibin by race. The word here translated "a Greek" was "used" by the Greeks to designate any Gentile, owing to the wide dif- fusion of the Creek race and langu- age." "Svrophoenician®™ is a more particular designation of the race to which che belonged. It denotes that part of Phoenicia which belonged to Syria. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. How long before this woman had heard about the Lord Jests ve do not know, but sie had heard of him in such a way that she was led to believe that "he had power to deliver her possessed daughter from the terrible mastery of the evil } bein who indwelt her. The women would never have come to Jesus had she believed that there was any otior hope at all for her daughter's being restored to normal life cain. The Lord came to do the ~thinzs that no-ont" else on earth hase ever been able to¥do, and to deliver us from those powers which are too. great. for men themselves to defeat. 27. And he said unto her, Let the children firct be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dows, Jesus fought to deeren within the woman that humility which is the condition of exaltation, and to render vet warm- er that motherly love which had op- > enced her eyes to Isve d.vine, Doubt- less, had her faith been less strony, her humility less deep, her love less "oseli-forgeiful, he would have dealt more tenderly with her. so as not to "break: the bruised reed"; but, these qualities being already well de- veloped, he braced her character with the cold vet wholesome wind of scem- ing discouragement, The bread of the children" is the ministry of Jesus and the blessing he dispenses. This bread is for the chosen nation, the Jews. They re- cline at table while Jesus dispenses his blessings to them. Any little pet dog in the house is not allowed to lie on oie of the couches as if he, too, were a child. He is given food in a different vay; he is allowed to pick 'up anything the children may drop while eating at table, A Deautiful Reply 28. Bat she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Loyd; even the dogs under the table cat of the children's crurabs, The woman's wonderful in every way. Whole- heartedly she accepts what Jesus says about the arrangement of his Messianic mission as confined to the chosen nation. She understands and consents. She does not even ask why God did as he did. The beauty of the woman's reply is that she keeps entirely to the figurative lan- guage of Jesus, With Jesus' own words she renews her appeal, certain that he would not deny what these words hold out to her. 29. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way. The greatness of this woman's faith was in submis- sively accepting and in rightly un- derstanding what Jesus said about his Messianic mission. Faith is great in the measure of the reliance it places on the word of Christ. The demon is. gone out of thy daughter. The perfect tense of the verbenot only implies that the demon is now al- ready 'out of the girl, but that he had ; gone out before this, a. And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out. | 1 A--C > ros answer is. Jesus never uttered any word but with power. Jesus has never made any promise to any one but when that person has fulfilled the condis tions involved in#the promise, the promise has been kept, ' Deaf and Dymb Man 81. And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and - came through Sidon unto the sea; of Gali- lee, through the midst of {he bord: ers of Decapolis. 32. And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech. Deaf- ness and dumbness not only often oc- cur together in the same person, but dumbness is often caused by deaf- ness, especially if the deafness is con- genital, because one who has never heard words articulated would hard- ly be expected to know how to articu- late words himself. And they be- seech him to lay his hand upon him. 33. And he took him aside from the multitude privately. Christ's pur- pose was that the man apart from the tumult and interruptions. of the crowd, in solitude and silence, might he more receptive of deep and last- ing impressions. And put his fingers into his ears. Thig was true sign language. And he spat, and touch- ed his tongue. Thus, before the Lord actually healed him, the man's at- tention was drawn to the two great physical handic~ns under which he 1 was suffering, | 34. And looked up tc heaven. He sighed. And saith unto him, Eph- phatha, that is, Be opened. The word of command is directed to both the mouth and the ears of the man, for both need to be unbarred. Christ is|the Great Opener. He makes our "fpeulties function. He realizes our powers for use. Faculties Restored 35. And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. There are only two miracles recorded by Mark alone, this and the recovering of sight to the hlind man (8:22-26), and both are peculiar in that the cures were effected, not by a word, but by a process. The deaf-mute may well have received a spark of faith before the almighty word was spoken, but it was nol his faith that enabled Jesus to heal him. Tt was solely the power and will of Jesus. The Old Testament prophets announced that the Messiah, when he came, would be able-to open. the eyes-of the blind and unstop the ears of the deaf (Isa. 35:5; 42:18). 36. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a -great--deal-they published--it.---It is quite possible that they misunder- stood his motives, and set it down to a modest shrinking from the place and popularity, which, in their eyes, ception gave them an additional im- pulse to do what their natural in- clinations" prompted. 37. And they were beyond meas- ure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the -deaf-to-hear;-and-the-dumb to speak. Jesus' miracles of healing prophesy to us of a future world, in which there will be no deaf and blind, and, in fact, no more sickness and no more pain, not a world of disembod- ied spirits who need no eyes and cars, but-a world of men, who are redeemed both in body and soul.

Canada and Russia are neighbors across the Arctic Ocean. It is less than 2,000 miles from the Canadian mainland to the Siberian coast; and not more than 1,200 miles from the tip the northernmost Russian island, or of Canada's northernmost island to about as far as from Toronto to Win- ! nipeg. But this is not all, writes D. M. Y.cBourdais in the Canadian Maga- _ zine: the shortest distances belween Canada--or the United States] for that matter--and any part of Europe or Asia are northward. Nearer World Centre Think of what that means to us in Canada! It means that we are nearer to the coming world centre than the people of the United States. Looking at the globe, with the North Pole and Arctic Ocean in the centre, we see Canada on one side of this smallest of the oceans and Northern Europe and Northern Asia on the other, while the United States, Southern Europe and Southern Asia occupy a zone farther removed from the centre. Thus to fly from the United States to Eur- ope or Asia by the shortest route, one must cross Canada and the Arctic or sub-Arctic regions. Most of the obstacles to successful flying across the Arctic are mechan- ical, and apply to flying anywhere. Eventually these obstacles will be evercome;. and. then the. Arctic will have the inestimable advantage of shorter distances. The airplane is about to change the shape of the world. And Canada is toward the hub! From Vancouver to Liverpool, across Canada north of Hudson Bay, and thence by way of Baffin Island, Greenland and Iceland, is about 4,300 miles; by rail and steamer, via Mont- real, it is 6,100 miles. From New York to Leningrad, across Labrador, Green- land and Iceland, is also about -4,300 miles, while the distance by ship would be about 5,300 miles. From Liv- erpool to Yokohama, across the Arc- tic, the distance is about 6,600 miles, while by steamer and rail, via Mont- real and Vancouver, the distance is 9,928 miles. When the time comes, as inevitably it will, that planes can be counted upon, as a matter of course, to stand the day-to-day strain of long-distance flying; and when a sufficient number of radio-equipped meteorological sta- 0-0-0000 IS THIS YOUR BIRTHDAY? _ By A.

They received a lump sum of about $4,500,000 in consideration of a transfer to King George of Sandring- ham and Balmoral, which their father had left to the Duke of Windsor in his will. The duke receives an annuity of $125,000, so his total income is about $280,000 a year. How Bee Stings Can Give Relief The belief has long been prevalent that the sting of a bee is helpful to 'sufferers from rheumatism and some experiments have been made to see if* there is any basis for the belief. Indications were found that it might be of some ald. An extended series of tests were made at the New York Hospital and Cornell Univerdity Medi- cal College by Dr, Jacques Kroner and a number of associates in which -an extract of bee venom was used in treating 100 cases of rheumatoid arth- ritis.* : Weekly Skin Injections _The investigators report in "The Annals of Internal Medicine" that seventy-three of the patients showed improvement, thirty-five, of them markedly improved and thirty-eight moderately improved. They reported a definite and lasting relief from pain and swelling. A diluted extract of the venom was injected into the skin weekly. } The greatest improvement was found in the cases that continued the treatmeht for the longest periods, the longest being about five months. The nature of the active material in the venom has not been determined.

Personality is a charmed posses- sion that we all seek, but which few of us acquit®. Yet most of us have it within our power to gain the cher- ished circle--if we go to a. little trouble to attain it. - The first step is to go on an ex- ploration--discover yourself; 'take yourself apart" and and find out what makes you go.
