Capernaum~His reason for leav- ing Nazareth was the hostility of his old neighbors (Luke 4). On his way to Capernaum he stopped at " Gene, and there received the re- quest of the nobleman to heel his dying child (John 4. 46). Cane. lay in the hills, and Jesus descended twenty-miles to the shores of the sea. of Galilee, and took up an abode in Ceperneum. This town has not been located with certain- ty There is still a debate as to whether modern Tell Hum, .et the ‘ head of the lake, or Khan Minyeh, three miles lower down, is the site. It was, at any rate, lovely for situ- ation, and most prosperous. This was due to its thriving fishing in- dustry, the rare fertility of its soil, and its close proximity to the great highway which connected Dames- cus with the Levant. Nowhere else could Jesus have found such an op- , ortu-nity to exercise a. commandâ€" {rig influence. “Speaking in Caâ€" erneum,’he spoke to the world." e sea itself was of great beauty and was surrounded with busy towns. It was thirteen miles long and eight miles in width. It lay within the tribe of Naphteli, but the borders of Zebnlun were near. 15, 16. This rather free transcrip- fion of the prophecy of Isa. 9. 1, 2, represents the northern. parts of Israel, which had suffered greatly from the inroads of Assyrians and Syrians, as first to be restored to gi'osperity by the Messiah.

For an account of the history,- extent, etc., of Galilee, consult Hasting’s Dictionary, “Christ and Gospels.” 13. Nazarethâ€"It is‘ apparent, from John’s account, that Jesus did not immediately detach himself from the home life at Nazareth. He attended the marriage at (Jana. 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. Nazareth was a city of cansidetable importance, about five miles from Cana._ Jordan, into the district of Peraea, which is east of Jordan, and where the latter stages of the ministry of Jesus were centered. As the Israe- lites sat in the darkness of despair because of the incursions of the Assyrians. so Matthew represents the condition of the people previous to the coming of Jesus as one of spiritual darkness. 17. Jesus seems intentionally to take up the cry of John. His com- ing meantnot 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 heaven- 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 ft". the good tidings from God. 18. Simon . . . Peter, and Andrew -â€"These two were among the first to yield to Jesus down at Bethany (John ‘1. 40. 41). They had returned to Galilee with him, and now were at their old pursuits.

It cannot be' shown that any of the apostles were poor men. They are called “un- learned and ignorant men." but this refers only to their lack o£ training in the rabbinical schools. 19.-â€":I wil1 make you fishers of menâ€"“Their earthly employment was a'parable of their divine vo- cation.

What oc- :curred, apparently, is this: while ithey were still wondering at the ‘wonderful catch of fishes Jesus ad- dressed the words to Peter, “From henceforth thou shalt catch men.” Upon their reaching shore Jesus lsaid to Simon and Andrew, “Come ye after me, and I will make you 1fishers of men.” They obeyed Vstraightway. Their partners, the sons of Zebedee, of whom John at least had received and heeded a. former call, were in a nearby boat. And when Jesus called them, they also straightway left, and followed him. 23â€"25. A. general sketch of the Galilean ministry, exhibiting Jesus in the threefold work of teaching, preaching, and healing. After this brief review Matthew gives ‘at length the Sermon on the Mount; and then returns to events at Ca- pernaum. Possessed with‘ demonsâ€"Disease, in the New Testament, is looked upon as a visitation of Satan, ex cept in a few cases (Heb. 12. 6). Nervous disorders and mental de- rangement, especially, were re- garded as due to diabolical posses- sion. There was so much truth in this popular belief that Jesus ac- commodated his own teaching to it. It was no part of our Lord’s pur- pose to anticipate the discoveries of modern science. 23. Their synagdgues~At this period there were synagogues in every town and in every village containing ten men. They {were used not only for worship but also as centers of local "government, and on weekâ€"days, as schools for chil- dren. The elders of‘the synagogues were the ‘rulers of the community. An Almost Fatal Illness Following an Attack of Lafirlppa. ~ The danger from grip is seldom over when the characteristic symp- toms, the fever, the headache and the depression of spirits, pas away. Grip leaves behind it weakâ€" ened vital powers, thin, watery blood, impaired digestion and over Sensitive nervesâ€"a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration and even con- sumption. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during convalescence, and for this purpose no, other medicine can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, which contain the elements neces~ sary‘ to enrich the blood and restore weakened nerves. Mr. James L. Whitman, Mulgrave, N. S., says :â€"â€"- “Following a severe attack of La Grippe I was completely prostratâ€" ed. The doctor who attended me said that my whole system had gone wrong. My heart was affected, my kidneys weakened, digestion im- paired, and to make the trouble worse I had a hemorrhage of the bowels, and nearly bled to death. The doctor said I could not live, and told my wife to tell me that I had better settle up my worldly af- fairs. I did not care to live, my sulierings were so intense. I could not sleep, my ankles and feet were swollen, and my conplexion very yellow. Friends came to see me for the last time, and one of these, more hopeful than the others, per~ suaded me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. While I had but little faith that they would help me I de- cided to try them.~ Quite soon they seemed to benefit me, for my appe- tite improved and my heart became stronger. Continuing the use of the Pills it was not long before I was ableto be out of bed, and afâ€" ter using fifteen boxes I am in good health for a man of my age. The ‘doetor and those who knew of my case look upon me as a living won- der, as none of them expected me to get better.” 24.

Breadâ€"At supper time boil four or five good sized potatoes, mash fine, add two and oneâ€"half quarts lukewarm water, and one cake yeast, well dissolved in one-half cupful of lukewarm water. Be sure and have water in which you .soak yeast cake and potatoes luke- warm, for that is the secret of raisâ€" ing bread. If you let it get colder or chilled, you can coax it. but it will not be the same delicious loaf you would have if kept at-sarne1 temperature when first made. Test your yeast cake by putting in the water and add one teaspoonful su- gar. If yeast stays on top of water1 it is fresh; if it sinks to bottom it: will not make good bread. Throw it away and use another. In mornâ€" ing add salt and about two or three tablespoonfuls sugar and flour to make a sponge cake. Let rise, which it will quickly. After it is foamy stiffen it, add flour until it dces not stick any more. ~ Knead twenty or thirty minutes, let rise until doubled, make into loaves, and let rise , again- andvbake one hour for bread and one-half hour for biscuits, Don’t put bread in oven until oven is .ready. .Don't have oven too hot at first, as bread will form hard crust and will not raise. After in oven five minutes open oven door and turn pans to raise both sides even. When risen and just beginning to brown place brown paper on top of bread (not printed) and bread will bake well done on inside ' of loaf. While bread‘is ‘raising, do not set on back of stove, as that gets bread too hot; rather keep a little away from fire and put thick cover on so as tokgep Coffee Bread, Without Eggsâ€"Sift one teaspoonful each of salt, cin- namon, and cloves with one and one-half cupfuls of flour. Cream one cupful of sugar with one-half cupful of butter; add oneâ€"half cup- ful of molasses, beat well, then add alternately flour and one cupful of cold strong coffee in vyihich one tea- spoonful of soda has been dissolv- ed. Lastly, add the floured rais- ins ‘and beat thoroughly before turning into a paper lined pan. Bake in a, quick oven, and ice when cold. For extra occasions decorate with a. bunch of‘grapes formed of raisings, the stems and leaves of Citron. Cook all in 9. little water fox five minutes, then dry in cloth before using. draft away. Rusks, cinnamon rolls, and coffee cake can be made by adâ€" ding about one cupful sugar, table- spoonful butter or lard, to one pint of sponge before you stiffen, one egg may be added if desired. To Set Colors.~Alum in the rins- ing water will keep green from fad- ing. Use ox gall for setting the color in gray or brown goods. Vine- gar in place of salt for black, pur- ple, and lieliotrope. Linen suits and shirt waists should be washed in hay water, made by pouring boilâ€" ing water over hay, and they will keep their color for a long time. One ounce of sugar of lead dissolv~ ed in a pailful of water will set al- most any color, and is especially good for blue prints. Soak the goods for two or three hours, and let dry in the shade before wash‘ ing with soap and water. Do not try to boil tinted or figured goodS, and do not use washing soda or strong soaps when washing them. If they are much soiled a‘handful 0 salt thrown into the water will 8 the colors. Use warm or nearly cold water in which to soak these goods. It is much better than hot water, and the dirt loosens quite as readily. Home-made Soap.-â€"This soap is simple and only takes one-half hour to make. Five pounds of drippings, one can of lye, costing 10 cents, one- half pound of borax, coating 5 cents, and one-half cupful of amâ€" monia. at 2 cents. Take your lye, dilute it in six cupfuls of cold water. Then add your box-ax and house- hold ammonia. after the lye is thorâ€" oughly dissolved. Have the fat melted, but not hot. Add the lye‘ mixture to the fat, stirring slowly with a long stick for eight minutes. Then you will find it gets like hon- ey. Have ready 8. large cardboard box or a wooden OIlé.’ Into this pour the mixture. In a. half hour you can cut out with a, knife the size cakes you want. Then let it stand for six or eight hours more to harden. This soap gets the same as castile when hard, and it floats. If you do not happen to have drip- pings go to your butcher and buy six pounds of scrap fat for 3 cents a. pound. This, when tried out, will give you five full pounds.

I began doc- toring, but instead of the disease being checked it showed signs of becoming worse; and my neck, chest, and my whole body was soon in a frightful condition. The skin actually peeled off, leaving the flesh'raw. “I suffered cruelly from the ter~ rible itching and soreness, and was completely confined to the house. Not seeing or feeling any improve.â€" ment, I next resorted to the ordin- ary selves and ointments recom- mended for skin diseases, but al- though I gave each preparation a fair trial, none seemed powerful enough to bring about a cure un- til.
