BRING YOUR - ~JOB'WQRK& TCO TI-F TflC (ME1rP THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON VII, FIRST QUARTER, INTERNA TIONAL SERIES, FEB. 18. Text of the Lesson, Maric i, 21-34. Memory Verses, 83, 34-Golden Text, Xarc 1, 34-Commentary Prepared by Re-. D. M. Stearns,. [Copyright, 190M, by American PA Association.] This Sabbath day in Capernaum was probably shortly after Hisi rejection at Nazareth (Luke Iv, 28-30) as the anoint ed of the Lord, for wve read that, "leay ing Nazareth. He came and dwelt in Capernaum" (Matt. Iv, 13), fulfilling Isa. Ix, 1, 2, and causing the place tw be spoken of as "His own city" (Matt. ix, 1). The Sabbath day finds Him in the place of worship, as was ills cus tom (Luke iv, 16), and we have no dif ficulty in knowing whence He got Iis message, for the Father who sent Him gave Him a commandment what le should say and what he should speak (John xii 49); therefore His word was with authority and power, and not as the scribes, who sought honor from men and not from God :>r-y (John v, 44). The tiue serv'nt of Gcod will be sure to get,his messag;. fro(m God and seek only the approval of God, never conc!derlng what men may think of it or of him as the messenger. The devil I and his angels are real persons, for whom a real and fearful place of tor merit has been prepared (Matt. xxv, 41). They know Jesus as the Holy One of God, the Son of God, the Christ (verse 24, Luke iv, 41), and they know that He wIll yet destroy them and a.! their works (Heb. ii, 14; I John 1ii, 8). for while In our lesson they ask, "Art Thou comR to destroy us?" on another oc casioi they ask. "Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?" (Matt. viii, 29.) The Lord Jesus was never disturbed by the presence of these evil ones nor deceived by their testimony. I He would have none of them speaking I Hint. but with His word cast them out (Matt. viii, 16). Some one has said that evil spirits are like bad tenants when they get notice to leave they do all the harm they can to the property before they move out (verse 26). Notice that Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, not the man. While we hate sin and, the devil we must lo;e sinners, .even:.as God does, and seek their salvation. Those who saw and heard 'thsethings did nat know that they. were.Jooking upon Him who talked with 4braham and Moses, the Creator of -all things, the Redeemer of. Israel,- and they mar veled at His power. Do we.kow some thing of His gift of power-4ver'all 'the power of the enemy and because of His work in and through us is His fame in any way being spread abroad in either home or foreign lands? From the synogogue they go to the home of Simon. where his wife's moth er is sick with a fever, and, awed by the events of the morning, they tell Him of her. He took her by the hand, and immediately she was well and took part in ministering to them. It is pos sible that some sick ones who are look ing to Him to heal them and wondering why he does not do so might know His healing power if He saw that they would serve Him and live to His glory if they were healed. When He. does or does not do what we ask Him for, He always has the best of reasons for .granting or refusing our requests, and some day we shall see that It has not been without cause (Ezek. Xlv, 23). I have often been helped by these lines: With peaceful mind the path of duty run. God nothing does nor suffers to- be done But what thou wouldst thyself, couldst thou but see Through all events of things as well as He. Some people act as if they parted company with the Lord when church was out, as if they said I'll see you again next Sunday, but those who know Him will always want Him with them, will rejoice in His assurance, "Lo, I am with you all the days," "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee" (Matt. xxvii, 20; Heb. xiii, 5), and will be careful not to allow any person, place or thing to mar fellowship with Himself. If we have a trouble of any kind, mentul or physical, let us tell HImn quickly, according to Phil. iv, 6, 7, and we shall idnd Him as good as His word always, Does any kind of' a fever consume you, either in things lawful or unlaw ful, business, pleasure, lust of any kind, the cares of this world, let His hand dispet It as it did hers. All bodily ailments are suggestive of diseases of the soul,-'but He is the Gr'eat Physician, and nothing Is too wonderful for Him. See all the city with afl their sIck at the door when the sun did set, or, in other words, when the Sabbath was past, and see His power and consIder. the joylnthat city that night.'

Its Terrible Army ox Suckerx and Its Powe'rfiul Jaws. Both the octopus and the cuttlefish have arms that are clothed with a formidable array of suckers which are wonderful pieces of mechanism. When the sucker comes into contact with an object the central piston, having pre viously been raised so as to complete ly fill the cavity of the sucker, Is at once withdrawn and a perfect vac uum produced. explaining the great te nacity with which the suckers cling. They number upward of 100 pairs to each arm of the octopus, Ind once they obtain ti grip on the victim, unless the armu is actially torn away from the body of the octopus, it is practically impossille for its prey to disentangle itself. In addition to these suckers the octo pus has a powerful pair of jaws. shap ed like the beak of a parrot, behind which Is a formidable armor plated tongue used as a rasping organ. The octop~us will attack and kill crabs and lobsters of considerable size, ripping open the body by means of its powerful jaws and devouring the contents. In spite of being a creature of such awe inspiring looks the octopus has several enemies in various species of whales, sharks and conger eels. In fact, the latter are particularly fond of devour ing the smaller octopuses. Conger eel' hunt for the octopus and, when found, proceed to browse on its limbs. The octopus tries to hug the slippery. slimy conger tight, but in vain, and, finding its limbs growing less, discharges its ink in the face of the foe and under cover of the turbid viiter beats a hasty retreat. It is to escape the too pressing attention of its foes that the octopus possesses the power of e!anging its color to corre ,spoad witthat of its surroundlr's. Kodol Digests What You Eat.

"_Most wild animals are. specialists that is to say, they are highly develop ed in one particular direction. The tiger is great as a stalker. His feet seem to be "shod with silence." R. H. Elliot, for many 'years a resident of India, cited an experience of one of his neighbors illustrative of this point. He had been much annoyed by tigers and at last tied a bullock out li a clear ing and took up his own position in a tree to wait till the-tiger should come after the bait. The ground was cov ered with dried leaves. which in hot weather are so brittle that even the walking of a bird over them can be heand for a good distance. In no very long time a large tiger slipped out of the forest and slowly edged toward the bullock. His method was so elaborate and careful that the man who saw It used to declare that it would have been worth 1,000 rupees to any young sportsman to have wit nessed it. So carefully did he put down each paw and so gradually did he crush the leaves under it that not a sound was to be heard. Between him and the bul lock was a stump about four feet high, with long projecting surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as a godsend. He got upon one of the roots, bal. anced himself carefully and so was able to walk quickly and silently as far as the stump. He approached so gradually and noiselessly and his col or against the brown leaves was so invisible that he was close upon the bullock before he was perceived. Then instantly the bullock chairged. The tiger eluded him and In a moment more had his paws on the bullock's neck ready to drag him down. Then, like a flash, he caught sight of the rope by which the bullock was tied and turned and sprang into the forest, all so quickly that the man in the tree had no opportunity to fire.
