INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR JANUARY 13, Lesson Text: ‘‘A Sabbath in the Life of Josus,” Mark i, 21-84 =Golden Text: Lnke liv, 160—-Commentary, Alter the baptism of Jesus by John in Jor- dan, He was led by the Spirit into the wilder- £038 to be tempted of the devil and was there forty days; by the sword of the Spirit the enemy was overcome and compelled to flee and angels ministered unto Jesus (vs. 12, 13), Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee (Lu. iv., 14); and wherever we see Him in all His earthly life He is goin, about speaking and working in the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts x, 3%. There isno way for us to live a Christian lifo—that is, the life of Christ in these mortal bodies-—~but by being emptied of self and filled with the same Holy Spirit, 21. ‘And they went into Capernaum.” John the Baptist was at this time in prison, apd Jesus was scmewhere in the latter part of His first year's mmistry. The work of John, though requiring so long a preparation, years in the wilderness, and seemingly so short and unsuccessful, is now nearly over; he has but to tarry a little in prison,and pass from there out to his God and Father. Jesus, the mightier than John, goes forth to His work with these few fishermen as the begin- ning of His followers only to be rejected and hated as John was (Matt, xvii, 12! But the work goes on the fishers of men are tore busy to-day than ever before, the number of | His elect out of all nations is being completed, | the marriage and be satisfled; then shall of the Lamb draws nigh, | and He shall see of the travail of His soul | wo see that | neither the work of John, nor the prophets | who were before him, nor the work of Jesus Christ or the least of His faithful followers has been in any sense or in the least degree in vain; it is ours to be filled with the spirit | and be faithful unto Him, coveting only His approval, seeking only His glory, “and straightway on the Sabbath day He entered into the synagogue and taught.” This is the fifth time in this chapter that we find the word “straightway” or “immediately,” which reminds us how we are to act as servants of Christ; we are to do not only heartily but quickly whatever our hands find to do, for “to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, tohimitissin.® Jas iv., 17. 22. “He taught them as one that had au thority.” Not with the wisdom of men, for He had not been to their schools, but with the wisdom God, for He was and is “Christ,” the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” Cor. i, 24.) 2% ‘There was in of iT Synagogue a man with an uncleas Strange place for such a person, and ¥ o-day there are such perhaps in every congregation and in many a Sundayschool ¢ Evil spirits possess, and speak, and act ugh men and women, boys and girls, as much as ever; and a man or woman with an unclean spirit may often be found among preachers and teachers, for whosoaver is not holy is unclean 24. “Lat us alone What can we think of those who bear the name of Christ, and yet do not want to hear of being filled with the spirit, dead to the world, seeking lost souls, sending or going to the dark places of the earth with the glad tidings of Jesus; but when urged to be wholly the Lord's, ahd love and serve Him with the whole heart, giving more time to prayer and Bible study, reply by deeds if not in words: “Let us alone!” Does it not seem as if the unclean spirit was there in some form! “What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth™ Well, believer, how much bave you, or do you want to have to do with Jesus of Nazareth! Let vour answer decide what manner of spirit is in you; and until you can say to Him “My soul loogeth for Thee,” you have not a right spirit. “Art Toou come to destroy us!” Yes, Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil; we have promised to renounce the world, the tesh and the devil: let us make good our vow, “I know Thee, who Thou art, the Moly Lue of God.” The demons know Him and in a sense believe in Him, but it does not profit them, The only knowledge of, and bel ef in, Him that profits, is when it leads to a whole hearted reception of, and submission to, Him as one’s own Saviour and Lord 25. “Jesus rebuked him,” not the man but the evil spirit. If when we hear people say unkind and cruel things, we would remem- ber that if they only had the spirit of Christ in them, possessing them fully, they would not talk so, it would help us pity and pray for them, instead of being angry at them: and again, when we hear people say true things about Jesus, as this evil spirit did, we must not take that as evidence that they sav- ingly know Him 26. “When the unclean spirit had torn Him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.” Deing commanded by Jesus the evil spirit must obey; He casts them out with His word. If you have an evil spirit of unbelief or pride or self esteem or worldli- ness, you will not get rid of it by trying, but just come to Jesus and He with His word will cast it out. It may tear you and hurt you to lose it, and there may be quite a no se aboat it, but the temple is the Lord's and it must be wholly His 27. “With authority commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey Him.” This is, indeed, something new: here is one who is mightier than the devil and his angels, and they must dbey Him when He speaks; and they are amazed and perplexed at this apparently humble and unknown man, or known only as the carpenter of Nazareth. He fs more than man, for no man is as strong as the devil, but here is one whom the demons must obey, so He must be more than man. 28. “Immedistely His fame spread abroad.” If ev one whose sins have been forgiven was truly thankful to God for such a priceless blessing, does it not seem that they ought to be ready to tell others that they, too, might receive forgiveness, and thus spread abroad the fame of Jesus! What are you doing, dear reader, to make Him known to others! or is it so that He has never done anything for you wortn mentioning! wi home of Simon and Andrew, James and John going with them. It had been a strange morning. never had such an event happened in that synagogue before; the power of God had been seen among them, for Jesus was God manifest in the flesh; and now as they walk to Simon's home, who can tell in view of these things our own heart say the your joy and strength/ your hand and possess body and you shall find Him life and light and joy.

Preparing Bees For Winter, Ono of the many problems for the bee to solve is: **How to winter bees ully®, There are a number of each of which have their advo- cates, and many practical bee men are successful in wintering their bees in a cellar, in burrying them in a cave and in wintering them on their summer stands, It is of this last method of which I intend to write, as it is one that is generally used by the average farmer and is as practical and gives as good results as any, The qualifications for successful win- terings are: First, plenty of hees. Sce- ond, a sufficient amount of food in the hive, Third, proper protection from the cold. There are generally plenty of bees in a healthy colony as long as the honey is being gathered freely, In this ccetion the honey flow lasts till the first frost, About this time it is well to examine each colony, and if a weak one is found unite with one that is stronger. One stropg colony is worth hall a dozen weak ones for wintering, If any of the colonics have at least thirty pounds of good honey in their hive they should be fed honey, or sugar syrup enough to make up the deficiency. A good syrup for feeding bees is made by dissolving five pounds of granulated sugar in one quart of water, heat until it forms a smooth syrup, feed to the bees while warn, The matter of protection is a harder ¢ If your bees are not | in chaff hives they must be protected | | from the piercing winds and cold storms | of winter. If there is a thick hedge or tight board fence to the north and west | of the apiary the chances of wintering | are much better. Extremes of tempera- ture should be guarded against. This can be done by banking the hive with g with boards, leaving the entrance open #0 the bees ean fly should there be a continuous spell of warm weather during the winter. Or the farmer can use such protection as his ingenuity suggests only that the result be the same. He who cannot think and invent for himself will never make a suc- cessful bee keeper. After protecting the bees the side we must try to kes p the warmth from the cluster in the hive by placing chafl cushions, folded news; apers, leave 4 of that sort above the the bees. Always re member to put some bent pieces of wood or some other device between the quilt and brood frames to alloy the bees to pass from one frame to the other. If your bees are in chaff hives as they should be, all that is needed is to protect from above, as already described. fom Or Ms ynethin iy quilt coyering Farmer's Fuel Comparatively few farmers employ any- thing but wood as a fuel for fami'y use. There is every reason why this should be 80; upon most farms where there is much extent of t wood laad, there is generally enough dead wood to furnish all the light fuel for summer, nd the cutting of timber for necessary repairs will go far toward affording the supply for winter, when demand is 1 severe In any event, the farmer who has wood growing upon his farm, which he ean by turning on his into fuel, and so secure a supply without any cash outlay, will be like ¥ to reson to that in preference to any other, A wood fi req tention in order to sults, but for general both » and winter, for family purposes there is nothing better And yet, counting the value of the wood standing, the time required in cut. ting to haul, hauling, and time tired to prepare it for use at regular wages, the cash value would prove an obstacle to its use, As before stated, because it can be se cured wholly without any cash expendi- ture, and because it can be cut and pre. pared for use when there is no other work of the farm pressing, renders it the popular fuel among farmers, But in order to secure the best results, wood should be th roughly seasoned be fore it is used. In burning green wood that is filled with sap or moisture, there must be a certain amount of evaporation carried on before the fuel will burn, snd a certain amount of heat must be em- ployed in the process: how much of that eat can be utilized during the process it is difficult to determine, bat it is rea. sonable to suppose that but a small amount of it can be made available. Then there is lost in burning green wood just as much heat as is required to ex pel the moisture from the green wood. When there is a year's supply in ad. vance no trouble in this line need arise, and if it is desirable to occasionally use a stick of green wood to regulate the heat a little better, or to prevent a too rapid combustion of the dry, it can be used, It is always best to mber o - I 1] . the ore ADOT Convert means e uires considerable at. secure the best re tse immer req i form the labor get ready for better, in the late fall, so as to take tage of any favorable conditions hours, If wood is to be hauled upon snow we much prefer cutting in eight feet lengths, ns it Nquites less hauling and is fully as convenient for chopping at the wood. ile. In cutting a thought should be for the season of year in which the bulk of the pile is to be used, and place by itself that which is smaller and light wood for summer use, In preparing for the winter supply it is very economy to leave a considerable propor. tion of large size, and ovmecially here knots split only so much as ma, Pe nec- essary to put into the stove, for the reason that coarse wood burns slower and makes be a sufficient Suantie} finely split so that a fire may be kindled in the quickest ble time.

The next disease in re- spect of destructiveness is known as cholera, which cariios off the mature fowls ns well as a large number of chicka. These two diseases call for remark at this time. when they are most prevalent. Gapes is the dsorder which causes the young chicks to open their mouths to gasp for breath. It is caused by the resence in the throat and air passages bt many very small worms usually found united in pairs and imbedded in froth and mucus in the air passages, Later the discase became associated with fever, throat becomes dry, and the membranes are covered with dry scales of mucus, is BRUISES, Sciatica, Lumbago, | Burns and Scalds: At Drugzists and Deslors, UARLES A VOOELER C0. asim, We. and at times diphtheria intervenes and adds its fatal proclivities to the original | Thus the fatal disorder often | grows out of the minor one, and if this | had been prevented the chicks would | 1 disease. have escaped the other, This parasitic thread worm is closely related to the similar one which a'lects lambs, calves, and other young animals, Its origin and natural history are well known, It inhabits the intestines as well as the lungs of the old fowls, and at times causes trouble with them, notwithstanding their greater power of resistance. The parasites in the old fowls mature and become charged with egus, which are discharged through the bowels. The soil where the fowls run soon becomes infested with myriads of eggs, whi ¢edd up by the young chicks, has found the eggs abune in the soil under the coops where the brooding hen is con- fined, and in the droppings of the hen. It is thus plainly shown how the worms gain soc ss to the cl for these egus, being picked hatch into Ww which c ] hie throat, where find solsistence upon the the sensitive membranes which i An ICKS Oorins they ’ exudat are 3 | tated by their presence, The question, then, is how to prevent the presence of these worms in the soil for prevention is much easier than « ard when the trfling value of a little chick is considered.

This will be sufficiently strong to kill the young worms when they first appear in the throat, Turpen- hen is « i Avo led cover Piso's Cure is our yest selling medi- | cine.
