The disciples had lost the power which they once had to deliver men from the bondage from which the Lord Jesus came to set men free. The Crowd Accused 19, And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unâ€" to me. These words were addressed (1) to the father, (2) to the disâ€" iples, (3) to the crowd, and (4) through them to the whole people. It was faith that the Lord Jesus sought in the hcearts of men, and he lid everything ary one could do to cure such faith; when faith did not follow his miracles and matchless teaching, the Lord was grieved to the depths of his heart. 20. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightâ€" away the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and walâ€" lowed foaming. Here before the very eyes of Jesus the whole affliction of the boy appeared. 21. And he asked his father, How long th#ie is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. There are many ailments, handicaps, and peculiar twists that many men can say they have had "from a child." If "from a child" we know boys and girls to bear such terrible afflictions and weaknesses, how important it is that "from a child" young people should be brought to know the Lord Jesus Christ! The possibilities for great good in children are just as good as the possibilities for great evil. 22.

Miss Oxford figured in the disappearance of Frank Vosper at sea, last year, when he vanâ€" ished from a party she gave. 27, But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose. Jesus did not here, as it were, pick up a limp body. The cure was immeâ€" diate, and complete, and so definite that no one could doubt the reality of it. Jesus was not only interested in casting out this demon, but he had an infinite compassion for the boy himself, and waited until the boy was on his feet and restored to norâ€" maley again. Why They Couldn‘t Act 28. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, how is it that we could not cast it out? They were ashamed and perplexed and bewildered at their own impotency, because they knew that once they had had power to cast out demons, and they knew also that they ought to have had power to do so that day. Such humiliating experiences are wholesome for every Christian worker. Times of impotenâ€" cy and failure are used by God for a great searching of our hearts and lives. 20, And he said unto him, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer. These mightier spirits require the full measure of faith to dislodge. The disciples did not think of prayer. They let their faith droop, and thus failed. Depression laid hold of them, and in consequence they negâ€" lected what they then needed most, prayer; and so their faith failed and they were left without power. Prayâ€" erlessness always results in lowered spiritual vitality, and that in turn brings failure. 26. And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more nait said, He is dead. What is often feared most in a major operation is what is called "shock." When a power that has dominated a life is removed, it is natural that there should be a convulsive experiâ€" ence in the readjustment of that life to new conditions and to the loss of that which previcusly had been a verâ€" itable part of that life. Here there was more than a power, an actual Satanic, personal dominion over this boy. The feathers of the tcuraco are not waterproof; the colors was‘ off in a rain. 25. And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean sririt, saying unto him, Thou damb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 24. "traightaway the father of the child cried out, ard said, 1 believe; help thou mine unbelief. He wished to Lolieve, hut felt unbelief still too strong within him.

A table of the causes of unemployâ€" ubility reveals that age is the leading cause for men and broken homes the leading cause for women. For men, chronic disease takes second place and physical defoct third place as the cause of unemployability. For women age is second cause, chronic discas» third and physical defect fourth. Adâ€" diction to drugs or alcohol is a minor cause for both men and women, only 16 heads of families in the whole Doâ€" minion being listed under this cause. Employable persons, howover, enâ€" joyed some measuro of employment in 1936 and 1937, as approximately oneâ€"third of thei. last had work in either of those two years.

Of 99,561 heads of families in Canâ€" ada unemployed in September of last year more than 13,500 were not emâ€" ployed for that period since 1933, 16,« 600 since 1932, 14.300 since 1931 and 17411 since 1930 or earlier. And of the 99,561 only 1,734 were never selfâ€" dependent. The same proportion holds good for Ontario. A comparative table of unemployed in Ontario cities in September, 1937, reveals as follows: Stratford, 781; Woodstock, 193; St. Thomas, 356; Owen Sound, 175; Sarnia, 154; Niagâ€" ara Falls, 1,4°1; Oshawa, 1,970; Lonâ€" don, 8,360; Kitchener, 916; Guelph, 1,161; Galt, 326; Chatham, 269; Brantâ€" ford, 2,957.

Age Is Leading Reason For Lack Of Employment Dynamic, driven by Harry Whitney, barely wins a race from Neophyte, on rail, driven by Billy Post, in a ne andâ€"neck finish on the Aiken Mile Track, South Carolina. They Dash To A Close Finish at South Carolina Track According to legend the sailor arâ€" rived at the inn one night early in the 18th century and was killed by a stranger, who robbed him of a bag of jewels and money. The landlady and her son, fearing that the crime would damage the name of the inn, dragged the body into the courtyard and burâ€" ied it under a flagstone. Whitefaced Sailor A traveller w‘o slept in the room where the murder occurred a few days later complained that he had seen a "whitefac»d sailor, with blood on his face". For generations the inn retained its reputation of being haunted, and even after a new building was erected the sailor was said to haunt the corridors at night. Butterfly‘s Flight Well Controlled Butterflies are such light, fragile creatures that one would suppose them to be largely at the mercy of the winds in fAlying. Their waverâ€" ing, seemingly erratic flight, even on still days, suggests this. But, writes Sir W. Beach Thomas in the Atlantic Monthly for January, "Their flight is now known to be much more unâ€" der control than seemed likely. Large flocks of butterflics have been seen tacking their way against strong winds over the sea as both immiâ€" grants and emigrants." Further, the author tells us, the flight of butterâ€" flies is in some respects superior to that of birds. As an instarce he cites the huge light blue butterflies of the Brazilian forests and the purâ€" ple emperor butterflies of France and Great Britain which have the power of rising into the air almost verticalâ€" ly "with an ease and at a speed that are scarcely credible." These capable aeronauts seem to be the gyroplanes of the insect world. Sideways and Backwards Insects have several tricks of flight of which other flying creatures and heavierâ€"thanâ€"air flying machines are incapable. For example, many speâ€" cies, including dragon flies, have the ability to go into reverse gear and fly directly backward without changâ€" ing their bodily position. In addiâ€" tion to this, they can fly sidewise, either to the rglé or left, at right angles to the of their body. Many of the smaller insects, includâ€" ing bees and fiies, can hold their own with the larger dragon flies in reverse or lateral fiying. The present landlady hopes that the new tombstone will appease the shost.

Plague Declines Throughout China "The situation in this new ‘great war‘ now would seem to be that the enemy is within reach of gaining the decisive points without a battle, and in the most vital direction we have made no serious attempt to preâ€" vent him," said Captain Liddell Hart. Second Great War Now In Progress Captain Lidde!l Hart, who is miliâ€" tary correspondent of the London Times, told the University College Union Society in London that the first operations of the war came when Italy with aircraft gave "direct asâ€" sistance" to the Spanish insurgents and Germany with warships gave "inâ€" direct assistance," helping transport troops from Africa to Spain, Preceding the war, he said, encourâ€" agement and experience had been gained by Japan in Manchuria and Italy in Ethiopia in defying the League of Nations and developing the new technique of camouflaged war.

Stationary Battleship It dominates British and French shipping to the Indies as effectively as a mountain dumped in the middle of the English Channel would dominate all Francoâ€"British shipping. The population of Pantellieria is nearly 7,000 â€" mainly a peasant class who have up to now tended their vineyards and lemon and orange groves in peace. But now Italy visâ€" vualises the island as "a magnificent battleship", stationary, it is true, but which no squadron could hope to sink. The large boulders scattered about Britain, and now known to have been lett by glaciers, once were thought to have been washed in by ‘he big Biblical flood. the greater part of China, and its deâ€" cline throughout the world, is due to factora.which are not understood." With the decline of plague is vanâ€" ishing a mysterious scourge which has killed millions throughout the world. The first known plague was in North Africa. In the sixth century, Evrope experienced its first visitation, Once regarded as a penal settleâ€" ment, similar to Devil‘s Island, the Isle of Pantelleria is now being reâ€" marded by Italians as a potential Mediterrancan "Gibraltar" of their own. The Black Death One of the most famousâ€"or notorâ€" iousâ€"plagues in history was the Black Death which, in the fourteenth cenâ€" tury, swept Europe and in England alone wiped out more than threeâ€" quarters of the population. In all, 25 million people died. In 166465 came the Great Plague of London. ‘The population of London at that time was less than a half a millionâ€"and in one year 68,000 were struck down. Many British atlases do not even mark it, but, lying across the British and French route to the Indies, it occupies a position of high stratogical importance. As time passed the plague became less and less common in the West and finally disappeared from Europe, movâ€" ing to the East.

Crocodiles, presumably, mistaking them for raw liver, had chewed holes in them, causiny them to sink. The old mooring device was a huge ball of red rubber, anchored by means of hooks a* the end of a steel chain. Rubber was used because it was soft and did not damage the hulls of flying boats. The buoys were painted red so they would be visible at a distance.
