Suggestion and Practical Thought.
1. The Training School of His Early
Life. Jesus was both human and di-
vine, the Son of God taking upon him-
self the nature of man. He could re-
veal the nature and the will of God,
because he personally knew God and
eternal life and therefore could speak
with the authority of perfect knowl-
edge. But the human nature must
grow, and he trained so as to become
the fitting instrument of the divine.
The Schools and Schoolmasters of
the Young Jesus. I. The grace of
God was upon him.
2. He was brought up in the at-
mosphere of a deeply religious home.
3. He was a student of the Bible,
and a member of a Sabbath school.
4. He was an attendant at the syna
gogtie, the counterpart of our ci.urch.
II. The naptism of Jesus; His Pub-
lic Announcement of His Position on
the Side of Religion and Righteous-
ness.—Matt. S: 13-17. Cometh Jesus
from Galilee, from his Nazareth home,
to Jordan, probably at the ford near
Jericho over which passed the great
route of travel from the north and
east to Jerusalem. To be baptised of
(by) him, who was introducing the
kingdom of God. The announcement
and the ono announced came to-
gether.
14. "But John forbad," was In the
act of preventing him, was protesting.
"I have need," etc. 1 am the sinful
one, not you; as in v. II. "It was his
whiteness against their blackness
which moved the Baptist to his indig-
nant refusal."—John Watson's Life of
the Master.
15. Suffer it" (permit it) . . .
"for thus It becometh us," both of us,
or a general statement true of all
men, to fulfill all righteousness, to do
v.hat is right, what ought to be done.
Why was Jesus baptised? 1. It was
his public announcement of his posi-
tion; that he stood on the side of re-
ligion and righteousness.
2. It was an identifying of himself
with humanity, sharing their lot, suf-
fering with men the effects of sin,
going down into the slums of human-
ity, an undefiled brother, "tempted
like as we are, yet without sin,"
"touched with the feeling of our in-
firmities," and thus "able to succor
them that are tempted."
3. He was baptized as an example
for all his followers.
His Anointing as Priest and King.
16. "Went up straightway out of the
water" and up the bank of the river.
He was praying as he went (Luke
3:21). "The heavens were opened,"
symbolizing the fuller vision of ^esus
into the eternal realities. Heaven
and all its powers and blessings were
with him. He saw the Spirit of God
descending, bestowing upon hiln the
power and presence of the Holy Spirit
who was to "convince men of sin,
and of righteousness and of judg
ment."
III. His Victory in t> Battle with
Temptation. The Great Crisis of His
Life.—Matt. 4:1-11.
First. The Battlefield.—V. 1. "Jesus
led up of the spirit." He went out to
meet his great enemy; it was part of
the divine plan. The test was neces-
sary before he could enter upon his
great work. His life questions must
be settled once for all. "Into the
wilderness," the lonely mountainous
regions northeast of Jerusalem. The
real battle was fought on the battle-
field of the soul, where are fought the
greatest battles in all time. •
The enemy was Satan, the adver-
sary, a real being.
"How could a holy being be tempt-
ed?" Only by the good that was in
him, by natural appetite as hunger,
by the desire to do good, to escape
pain, to satisfy right desires.
Second. The Long Campaign.—V.
2. 2. "And when he had fasted forty
days." The real spirit of fasting lies
in being so intensely absorbed that
one does not feel the sensation of
hunger. Jesus was so intent on set-
tling the great questions that con-
fronted him—whether he was the Son
of God. in what way he should accom-
plish his mission, in prayer for guid-
ance, in seeking light, in deciding on
duty—that he was unconscious of
hunger; and in his lonely place there
was no food to be obtained.
Both Mark and Luke say he was
tempted all these 40 days, probably
In the same general way as the last
three great assaults now to be de-
scribed, which sum up the conflict.
Third. Three Great Battles and
Victories.—Vs. 2-10. Note that these
temptations all came In reference to
the means of establishing the king-
dom of God.
A LITTLE COLD.
He caught a little cold—
That waft all.
So the neighbors sadly said,
As they gathered round his bed,
When they heard that he was dead.
SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA
He caught a little cold—
That was all. (Puck.)
Neglect of a cough or cold often
leads to serious trouble. To break up
a cold in twenty-four hours and cwre
any cough that is curable mix two
ounces of Glycerine, a half-ounce of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and
eight ounces of pure Whisky. Take a
leaspoonful every four hours. You can
buy these at nny good drug store and
easily mix them in a largo bottle.
AND SHE'S NOT THE FIRST.
"What would you do if you caught
your husband flirting?"
"Why, my dear, that's Just the way
I did catch him!"
BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA
"When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for (wo years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
"Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cut1-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve-
ment. cyc 11 In tliuse few llOUrS WES SUI*-
prising, the inflammation seemed to
he so much less. 1 used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sev-
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
"I took care of a friend's child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. I would recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.
Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave., Phila-
delphia, Pa., Oct. 20, 1909."
His Little Mistake.
They stood beneath the stars, silent
as the heart-beats of the night, look-
ing into the diamond-studded shirt-
front of the sky.
"Is tha* Mars?*1 he whispered, as he
slipped his arm round her taper waist,
and gazed upon a glittering orb in the
distant blue.
"No, it isn't," she exclaimed, jerking
away; it's mine; and if yon think
you are hugging mother, I can tell
you that you are very much mis-
taken."
The matter was amicably adjusted
before anything serious resulted.—Ex-
change.
The man from Iowa began to talk
land before tli. frain was well out of
the C. N. Ft. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began In rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer fallowing pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologetic smile, the Iowa man said;
"i'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up In Canada be-
fore"— (it is curious how these mid-
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if It was
"Can'dy")—"but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall."
"You see, it's like this," said the
man from Iowa—quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been go-
ing on in his mind for some time.
"Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $70 or $80 an acre, for it, and
every farm that's offered Is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land thai coat us $11 and $12, so
„ man can take up rive or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
"it isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that moncj, would be enough.
The 'invasion' is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chil-
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam-
ilies. that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack-
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in To -a."
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm-
er in defending a step that meant a
new flag, a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
Independence for a good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas-
katchewan to "keep the family togeth-
er," was another and a quite higher
motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? It is enough
to know that the sons of the frontiers-
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Minne-
sota—the best blood of the mid-west—
are pouring into the Canadian west in
an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that "God Save the King" and
"My Country 'Tls of Thee," are sung
to the same tune.—Toronto (Ontario)
Globe.

"What do you mean when you tell

izing most business enterprises in or-

to sp-nd with mine."—Washington

Following cheap advice is
prove expensive.
Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce r.ud receive free tho
advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacrcdly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that he cannot do anything
without "an examination." j")r. Pierce h<>!ds tliut
these distasteful examinations are generally need-
less, and that no woman, except in rare cases, should submit to them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will cure you right in the privacy of
your own home. Ilis " Favorite Prescription" has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of case9.
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated
physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare to print its ever/
ingredient on its outs<de wrapper. 'I here's no secrecy. It will bear examina*
tion. No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it. Some unscrup-
ulous medicine dealers may offer you a substitute. Don't take it. Don't tritle
