He is a man of few words â€"but strong in action. His brain works best while he goes about his regular duties. He believes in keepâ€" ing in touch wiht the leaders of bustâ€" ness and finance. In short, he "looks wider than the farm." For several years he has been a member of the Toronto Board of Trade. "In coâ€"operative endeavor, of course, the main thing is confidence.on the part of the coâ€"operators toward those iwho undertake the organization work. Farmers of Ontario have very reason to show confidence in the ability of the directors and the management of the farmers‘ own company to so orâ€" ganize for the live stock marketing contract that in operation the growers will derive benefits that cannot be foretold." _ "One thing I would like to warn | !against is the general adoption of pooling in connection with marketing of farm commodities that cannot be ‘ pooled successfully. It is possible that in the handling of hogs the conâ€" tract system might develop into a ; form of poolingâ€"perhaps a three, or ; a four, or a six months‘ pool. .

C We have been working on this phass of the farmers‘ business for some time, and hope to present something concrete for the consideration of growers before very long. Some counties in the Province want to go ahead with organization on a contract basis, even if the Company does not organize all over Ontario. This, I think, would not be wise.

Jesus used the opportunity which the synagogue service provided in order to announce his message. The grace and wisdom of his teaching, here as elsewhere, produced surprise. Peoâ€" file could not understand how he, who ad had no special theological trainâ€" ing, possessed so marvelous a knowlâ€" edge of God. On the other hand, the report of his miracles was too strong to be gainsaid, and they had the eviâ€" dence of their own ears as to his diâ€" vine wisdom. | |_Vs. 22â€"27. Jesus‘ answer, given in "parables," was to point out the inâ€" consistency of supposing that Satan could possibly be associated with the beneficent work which Jesus was doâ€" ing. Civil wars are destructive to a kingdom, v. 24. Household feuds are destructive to a family, v. 25. Thereâ€" fore, if Satan is the power by which Jesus heals and â€"brings peace to torâ€" mented and terrorâ€"haunted minds, then Satan is warring against himâ€" self. It is a very different conclusion that Jesus ‘himself drayws from these cures. He sees God working mightily with him for the downfall of Satan and for the coming of the kingdom of God. Satan can only be ovolépo red | by one who is mightier than an, v. 27. And Jesus attributes his ownl power to God.

The third instance of unbelief / was supplied by the Nazareth iolk.| The visit of Jesus to Nazareth occurâ€": red probably at an early stage in his | mi‘n'istry, 'thoug'h not at the beginning. | _ The object of this terrible charge was obvious. It was to destroy Jesus‘ influence over religious people, and so to close the synagogue against him. "Beezlebub" was the ancient Philisâ€" time god of Ekron. But the word which the scribes used, according to our best manuscripts, was "Beelzeâ€" bul," a word of doubtful origin, used as an equivalent for Satan. of the Sabbath law lent color in the minds of the scribes to the idea that Jesus was a receiver. _ V. 22. A very much more serious charge now follows. Certain rcribes from Jerusalera, offended and anger d by Jesus‘ cutspoken words regarding the Farbath, fasting, etc., now cireuâ€" late the cCefamatory libel that Josns is in league with Satan and viti evil spirits. In particular they declare that his success in expelling demons is the result of this alliance. This accuâ€" sation was not so incredible as it might appear. It was commonly supâ€" posed that Satan disguised himself as an angel of light, and Jesus‘ violation V. 3. A great and believing recepâ€" V. 21. This fact explains the well meant, but inopportunc, interference of his friends. Who these were is not stated. The Greek means simply "persons belonging to his house." Doubtless, they were inspired by conâ€" cern for the terrible expenditure of energy at which Jesus‘ work wos beâ€" ing carried on, but it is clear that they did not believe on him. They tried to bring him home forcibly on the allegâ€" ed ground that he was "beside himâ€" self," in other words, that he was out of his mind. How deeply this outâ€" rageous misunderstanding wounded Jesus we are left to infer. : II. s®Esus TRapuce» By THE SCRIBES, 22â€"27, 5 | _ INTRODUCTION â€" We have already seen that Jesus was rejected in orthoâ€" dox circles.

Thoe occasion in quasâ€" tion was one where, as in ch. 2:1â€"12, Jesus was teaching and healing in some city or village which 4s not namâ€" ed. So packed was the audience, and so incessant the demand for healing, that Jesus and his disciples had no leisure even to take necessary food. We are made to feel here at what a cost the work of Jesus was being done. The strain upon his strength must have been terrific. Februsry 5.
