y$ Eoo o e y# Mending and not ending is the likely outcome even with Liberal victory. To adopt the unicameral system with no check is not the trend of modern democracy. _ The place of the conservative in proâ€" gressive government is important. Great Britain will hold to the world‘s custom. But it is easy to see that changes will be made which will secure a much stronger house of lords. +It is just possible that the appreciation of that fact is one â€"reason why the radicals among the Eiberals would prefer ending rather than mending. A study of world press comment on the action of the house of lords respecting . the budget shows that public opinion is strongly against the peers. â€" Australian expressions are generally hostile, the Melâ€" bourne Age, for example, describâ€" ing the lords as an oligarchy setâ€" ting up as the controller of the pubâ€" lis purse. The sentiment of the papers representing the governing forces of Oape Colony, the Transâ€" vaal, and the Orange colony is simâ€" ilar. Only the conservative papers of South Africa and the press of Natal are on the side of the lords. Most of these journals regard the victory of democracy as certain to come. The English papers are full of articles about the upper chamber. The hereditary principle is shown to have some worth, but there is apparent agreement that no system of eugenics can gusarantee to the sldest son of a strong man the virâ€" tues of his father. The body is deâ€" elared to be too large, and a proâ€" position is advarced that the hereâ€" ditary peers select from their numâ€" ber 200 to serve as members of the house of lords, birth no longer seâ€" curing a seat. ‘The fact that the lords pass every measure nroposed by one party, voting against bills of the other, is counted bad, and so better representation of both sides is urged. ‘There is a plea for representation of the selfâ€"govâ€" erning colonies, the labor element, and the nonconformists. The farmer of the hour proposes to use less brawn and more brains, giving the drudgeries to machinery and leaving himself time to solve the farm problems which can turn loss into profit. Throughout the great northwest the gang plow drawn by & gasoline tractor plows ene and & fourth acres in an hour These two statements accompany carefully prepared analysis of the membership of the upper house which show in detail "‘"who‘s who" in that body and what each has done or is doing for the nation. It must be confessed that theso showâ€" ings are impressive if not entirely convincing. Making every allowâ€" ance for the presence of titled noâ€" bodies and recognizing the weakâ€" of the hereditary_nrinciple of insistent er contains rs of thought observers believe that the Tords, as a body, enjoy more general respect for character and conduct than the commons, and that of late years. the former have baen rising ard the latter sinkâ€" ing in public estimation,‘‘ says the Times. But ib is equally evident that ‘"‘Down with the lords‘‘ is not acâ€" cepted in its full meaning as a deâ€" girable thing for Great Britain. Mending rather than ending seems more in favor. The antagonism of the radicals has led to the presenâ€" tation of definite facts about the house of lords. Two utterances will serve as Hlussrations. The London Times says, ©‘It is at least equal to any other second chamber, and in sheer intellectual weight, knowâ€" ledge,‘ and experience its personal presents to the eyes of the world a very much better appearance than that of the lower house.‘"‘" The Standard believes that "‘the peers, taken in the aggregate, represent practically all the leading phases of the manifold life of this country, and, thorefore, they must. speak with an authority and knowledge which could be rivaled by few other institutions of the kind.‘" NOTES AND COMMENTS Capernaumâ€"His reason for leayâ€" ing Nazareth was the hostility of his old neighbors (Luke 4). On his way to Capernaum he stopped at Cana, and there received the reâ€" quest of the nobleman to heal his dying child (John 4. 46). Cana lay in the hills, and Jesus descended twenty miles to the shores of the ses of Galilee, and took up an abode in Capernaum. This town has not been located with certainâ€" 4y There is still a debate as to whether modern Tell Hum, at the head of the lake, or Khan Minyeh, three miles lower down, is the site. It was, at any rate, lovely for situâ€" ation, and most prosperous. This was due to its thriving fishing inâ€" dustry, the rare fertility of its soil, and its close proximity to the great hishway which connected Damasâ€" cus with the Levant. Nowhere else could Jesus have found such an op:â€" portunity to exercise a commandâ€" ing influence. ‘"Speasking in Caâ€" pernaum, he spoke to the world." The sea itself was of great beauty and was surrounded with busy towns. It was thirteen miles long and eight miles in width. It lay Verse 12. John was delivered up â€"The arrest of John was due to the hatred of Herodias, because he had rebuked Herod Antipas for making her his wife, contrary to Jewish law. Galileeâ€"A part of the Roman emâ€" pire, and reflecting the Roman inâ€" fluences everywhere. Herod Antiâ€" pas was the ruler, having his caâ€" pital in Tiberias. But Jewish ideas prevailed in the government of the land. _ The population was very large, and the people were broadly intelligent. For an account of the history, extent, etc., of Galilee, consult â€" Hasting‘s Dictionary, ‘«Christ and Gospels." The modern thrashing machine is equipped with an automatic band cutter, selfâ€"feeder, automatic weighing and sacking device, and pneumatic swinging straw stacker, all opsrated by a gasoline or steam traction engine. By the old method of wheat growing three hours are needed to produce & bushel, and at a cost of 17%% cents. The modâ€" ern machines do it in ten minutes for 3% cents. The old thrashing machines had a capacity for 175 to 225 bushels a day, the new for over 2,000. e The cream separator enables the farmer to double his dairy products with lesa than oneâ€"third of the work involved in handling the milk the old way. The corn sheller enables the farmer to shell his corn quickly â€"if he does not wish to market the crop in the ear.. The gasoline enâ€" gine transforms drudgeries into pastimes.. It operates the cream separator, churns, saws wood, shells corn, and does numberless other chores that were full of terâ€" rors for the average farm boy, thus contributing more than anyâ€" thing else to keep the boy on the farm. $ On a large farm, where three or four sixteen inch plows are drawn by a twenty horse power traction engine, thousands of acres of wheat land can be plowed, harrowed and seeded within a short time, for tractors are used also in operating seeding machines, both the pulverâ€" izing and seeding beind@g down in one operaéion. The thrashing outâ€" fit of thirty years ago consisted of an â€" oldâ€"fashioned ~separator and horse power. There were one or two band cutters and one or two feeders, according to the width of the cylinder to feed the grain into the machine. Three or four men measured and sacked the grain while three to six men stacked the straw in a cloud of choking dust. Lesson III. The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry, Matt. 4. 12 25. Golden Text, Matt. 4. 16. 13. Nazarethâ€"It is â€" apparent, from John‘s account, that Jesus did not immediately detach himself from the home life at Nazateth. He attended the marriage at Cana in company with his mother, and must have lived in privacy long enough after his return from Judea for the first disciples to return to their occupations. N&zareth was a city of cansiderable importance, about five miles from, Cana. at a cost of 75 cents an acre. If the plow is drawn by a steam tracâ€" tor the cost is $2 an acre. With the old style plow two acres a day could be plowed, at a cost of $2.50 an acre. THEF 8. 8. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JAN. 16. s 20â€"22. This account by Matthew must be taken together with the passage in Luke 5. 1â€"11.. What ocâ€" curred, apparently, is this: while they woere still wondering at the wonderful catch of fishes Jesus adâ€" dressed the words to Peter, ‘‘From henceforth thou shalt catch men." Upon their reaching shore Jesus said to Simon and Andrew, ‘"Comse ve after me, and I will make you ‘""‘Thou didst well that it was in : thine heart.‘"â€"I. Kings, viii. ; 18.‘ By their motives men are both measured and made. These are the motors, the engines of our humanâ€" ity. Fortune may offer many alâ€" lurements and fate may seem to lay many a lash on our shoulders, but when and how we shall reach the goal and whether that goal be worth the race depends on the charâ€" acter and power of the ideals and desires within us. Many a life lies by the wayside, on the junk heap that on superficial examination seems to be an admirâ€" able piece of mechanism. It lies th re because it is just that and no more, only mechanism, intricate, adjusted, polished,, but powerless, valueless for lack of a sufficient dyâ€" namic force, a power and motion of its own. 17. Jesus seems intentionally to take up the cry of John. His comâ€" ing meant not only that the work of John was to be carried on but that his advent was the advent of the Messianic kingdom. Mark adds to this message of repentance, in view of the nearness of the heavenâ€" ly kingdom, something which John knew nothing ofâ€"‘‘Believe in the gospel.‘""‘ In addition to the life of spiritual renunciation he taught men to make room in their hearts feor the good tidings from God. 18.

They. were fishersâ€"A . lucrative business, since the Sea of Galilee swarmed with fish. It cannot be shown that any of the apostles were poor men. They are called ‘"unâ€" learned and ignorant men,‘‘ but this refers only to their lack of training in the rabbinical schools. 19.â€"I will make you fishers of menâ€"‘‘Their earthly employment was a parable of their divine voâ€" ecation.

THE DEEPEST NEED Life‘s purpose depends. on its philosophy ; that is, your aim and goal will depend on your interpreâ€" tation of the meaning of life, on the answer which you make to life‘s sigâ€" nificance.

We despoil our own hearts and steal our own happiness whenever we.allow the embittering experiencâ€" es of daily living to take from us the faith that it is possible to do good, to increase the world‘s store of joy and strength and hope, and to make our lives worth something to our times. . When all has been said and all other ways tried we find that the only motives that give perennial satisfaction and constantly strengâ€" then the heart are the unselfish ones.

There were, also, some 8,000 underâ€"tenants holding manors or land from their feudal chiefs.
