originally the name of one Of the Phi
lstine gods . This kind of
speech was occasioned by the healing
of one possessed with a demon, blind
and dumb Matt xii. 90. Here were
really three miracles in one, and it
showed the perversity of these scribes
when they spoke in this rash and reck-
less fashion. Jesus promptly took up
their statements and showed conclu-,
sively that their accusations were
wrong from the standpoints Of reason.
ethics and religion.
All sins shall he forgiven" The
mercy of God is available TO all peni-
tent souls. "Blasphemies." These
were impious and insoIent utterances
in which the honor Of God was set at
naught. ''Blaspheme against the Holy
Ghost" The particular nature of this
offense is stated in the next verse. Je-
sus had clearly proved by works the
supremacy of his authority over Satan,
but these men endeavored 10 show that
it had been a work Of magic, and they
virtually charged him with practicing
the black arts. ''In danger" If they
, had no ability for moral discrimina-
tons they were guilty OF an eternal
sin and in peril.

Verses 90, 21.-lntense zeal.
Jesus was now at the height of his
popularity. His preaching tour through
the towns and villages of Galilee had
been remarkably successful. Wher-
ever he went he saw physical! distress
and spiritual anxiety, SO that his COM
passionate heart was stirred. The Sc
lection of the twelve apostles was an
other important event. Not long after
this serious business Jesus returned TO
Capornaum and went directly TO ST.
mons house. The news of his return
was speedily circulated. 1.-The multi
tude cometh together again" They did
not delay their demonstrations. but
promptly assembled in and around Pc
ter's house. Compare chapters i, 81;
ii - His popularity had
reused the antagonism OF the rulers,
and they were already planning his
destruction verse g.. His friends"
These were doubtless his relatives from
Nazareth. TO whom reference Is made
later in the chapter. They had be-
come alarmed when they heard OF his
encounters with the rulers. ITO lay
hold on him. 1t was their intention
70 seize him and probably take him
back 10 Nazareth.
Verses 2-3o.-Moral inconsistency.
The brief period which Jesus had
spent in Jerusalem at the beginning Of
his ministry had given the rulers much
occasion for offense. They were de
termined 10 ge1 rid Of him in some
way. His work in Ga&ilee reused the
suspicious OF these leaders. and they
sent down some Of their representa-
tiyes from Jerusalem TO watch Jesu:

CROP SYSTEMS.

One branch OF farm manage
ment which has been but little
studied is the question Of how
to make crops fit together SO as
to keep the farm teams and men
equally busy throughout all sea-
sons and produce the maximum
. returns from their labors. Com
peting crops are those that
. claim attention at the same
: time. one preventing another
from being handled TO the best
. advantage. Two crops that must
. be planted ut the same time and
: harvested at about the same pc
. riod compete for the farmers
time, thereby bringing around
. periods of excessive labor fol
lowed by periods when there is
. Il lack of work. It is this prob
: lem OF fitting crops together that
. determines the success or fail
! ure Of many farms. Though this
!. works itself out automatically
! in some instances, there are
!. plenty Of neighborhoods in
!. which farmers are holding TO old
!. combinations Of crops despite
j. the fact that rush periods at
: harvest time each year furnish
! additional evidence that new
!. arranoement Of affairs should be
]. made. Efficiency in the use Of
:. farm labor depends primarily
!. upon having work throughout
!. tire year for both men and
/. teams.-Country Gentleman.
