PARALLEL.-The passage OF Scrip
ture set for our study today follows
Immediately upon that of last Sabbath
there IL no omission to break the con-
tinuity Of the thought. although the
transition from one incident to the other
Is abrupt. 1t is especially worthy of
comment that three evangelists (the Syn.
optics) record the same events Matt. TX:
9-17; Luke v: 27-3O, with much agreement
of details This three-fold parallelism
occurs only three times previously in the
Gospel, and indicates that we have
before us matter considered to be Inn
portant when viewed from the different
standpoints of these writer's But why
important? Because the act of our Saw
iour In this connection concerned every
branch OF the church In after years. Gen.
tile, Jewish and Middle Christian being
involved.
RESORTED Verse 13.--After curing
the man sick of the palsy Jesus left Ca
pernaum and went forth along the shore
of the sea of Oalilee. This movement
from the city to the open country was
frequently practiced MARK iv: u, be-
cause 1t afforded opportunity for a diff
,ferent kind Of ministry and released our
Lord from the pressure incident to con-
stant contact with the city population.
Besides. 1t separated His audience into
two classes. Those who had been drawn
together out of mere curiosity would
naturally repair to their homes, while
those who were specially interested, from
whatever reason, would follow Him. So
1t occurred that the crowd went with
Him on this occasion, and He, never
weary taught them. There Is no report
of His sermon.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add to his hours

brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic rnedi-
cines. These can only injure. The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body Is

was no attempt at concealing all of
this remarkably barbareuS conduct.
1t is generally accepted as true at
Tien Tsin that the Chinese commander
of the Taku forts was murdered by the
Russians when he was in the act of
surrendering his sword.
Some, probably all, of the foreign
women in Tien Tsin were prepared to
act in case the Chinese effected an en-
trance. But aside from that unpleas-
