And Be spake also this parable--A form of introduction used frequently by Luke, and char- acteristic of his style. In this chap- ter, as in others in the Gospel: of Luke, certain parables' have been brought together 'which® have no 'close connection in thought and were spoken at different times and in different- places. This parable has no evident connection with the one which precedes it (verses 1- 8) or with the narrative which follows (verses 15-30). Whe 'trusted in themselves that they.

The Pharisee thinks himself superior to other men, not only in what he abstains from, but in what hedoes. I fast twice in the week--The Mo- saic Taw enjoined but one fast in the year, the Day of Atonement. During the exile it became custom- ary to observe four yearly fasts in memory of national calamities, the one in the fourth month, commemo- rated the capture of Jerusalem; that of the fifth month, the destrue- tion of the city and temple; of the seventh month, the murder of Ge- daliah (2 Kings 95. 25; Jer. 41. 1); that of the tenth, the 'beginning of the siege (Jer. 52. 4). Ocgasionally special fasts were ordered" in, sea- ns of drought and other. public calamities, and these fasts were al- ways held on Mondays and Thurs- days, Thursday being the day on which Moses was supposed to have ceded the mount and Monday the day of hig return.

The news that the old Roman bath in the Strand, near Somerset House, is going to change hands will have little' concern for most persons, as very few, Londoners know anything about it. Yet until quite recently it was possible to plunge every morning in an ice cold spring bath built in A time of Vespa- sian. Visitors to London will find it quite worth while looking up. Until 1893 it had a gravel bottom and the sides were of Roman brick, but when the famous Bssex marble bath, which adjoined and was fed by the same spring, was closed the marble was taken out and used to line the old Ro- man bath. A flight of marble steps was also transferred from the Essex bath. Dickens was at one time a visitor to bath, as Jeaqqrs 95 "David Coppers field" will rféca here was," he wrote, "an old Roman bath in those days' at the bottom of one of the streets out of the Strand-it may be there atilley I have had many a plunge. The nein which supplies the bath is believed to be that which formerly' supplied also the Holy Well which gave its name to Holywell street. Britain's Drink Bill Is Soaring. The United Kingdom spent last year more than £5,000,000 (32 ,000,000) on drink than in' 1912, an increase of 40, cents per. head of the population, and we consumed in round figures 1,800,000 more gallons of spirits, 1,000,000 more barrels of beer and 180,000 more gallons of wine, This does not, however, mean that as a nation we are growing less temperate, says the Daily all, It simply means that we have been enjoying a period of sustained prosperity. Heavy drinking and good trade go together, and a wave of sobriety is often only another way of saying a wave of commercial .depres- sion. It sounds, and it is, appalling rough that we should be spending on drink sum equal to four-fifths of the iit Fo national revenue; that a working class family should be estimated to waste nearly one-sixth of {ts Income on liquor and that the annual expenditure, if we omit the total abstainers and the children under 15, should work out at all but £7 ($35) a head. But it is an im- provement on what has gone before, Macaulay reckons that in 1688 the English people consumed 90 gallons of alcohol a head; they now- only drink a little more than 28. In 1760 there was one public house to every six homes and every 47 persons; there is now but one public house to every 70 homes and 330 perso Drunkenness, too, besides having vir tually dled out as a social accomplish- ment, has steadily diminished among all classes. It is still a terrible and per- vasive evil, with an aftermath of dis- ease, vice, crime and wretchedness that is beyond ccmputation, but so far as one can see its worst days are over. : "Port Wise" Made in London.
