we must cast ourselves "at his feet It is his table, the Master taplF from which we may expect food i1e it is that breaks the bread for us. we are never beyond his reach and ne has made abundant provision
 Let us now look at the account or the centurion's servant. Once more Jesus is appealed to by one "ho Is outside the Hebrew covenant ana on behalf of a servant. In the other m. cident there was the interruption or a seeming refusal and here the inter ruption of an instantaneous granting of the request. Again |e need to read the parallel accounts given oy the other evangelists. Verse ten ot this section is the key to this whole story. What are some of the marks Of "great faith?' First it IS tested The servant was dear unto the centurion" Luke 7:2. Second. is progressive when he heard Of .Jesus," Luke 7:3 Third 1t will be recognized by others, Luke II. Here we are told that the centurion came not. at least not at first unto Jesus. but is interceded for by the Jews The ground of their intercesslon was tha which constitutes fourth evidence ot a great faith, viz, liberality lie IS worthy. for he loveth our nation and hath built us a synagogue Luke : 4. 5. We have, however. a better ground of intercession. Heb. 10: 19 Great faith is also humble, Lord, l am not worthy" Matthew SIS. Sixth it is confident. Speak the word only, Matthew SIS, and lastly, it recognized authority. Matthew S:9. Notice the word also" in this verse as used in the revised version. The secret of Jesus life was his implicit obedience to the Fla her. John 1 34 and Matthew 26:42. The centurion being under authority could command others, and Jesus being under the authority of God of course had power. We believe the centurion saw In Jesus the Son of the most High, therefore what was healing in him. all that was needed was but the word of command.
 The Great Faith.
 The protest in V. g, and the remark able commendation of Jesus thereon, is a solemn warning to all who are in covenant relations with God and his Son whom he has Gent. Jesus had there glimpse of that great coming day when all Gentiles would be gathered unto him, V. II tcf Rev 7:9l. The centurion received for his faith com mendation. and healing for his servant as well, V 13.
 Why should there be such a differ ence in the treatment of these two when we read of each that they had great faith ?-Matthew 1928 and S:l0 The difference can be explained only by the fact that the Master knew all the facts about both and he adopted such tactics for each as werf. best suited to the case This imR esses us with the truth that personal work cannot be done by any rule of thumb, indeed, the Master seems seldom 10 have used the same method twice Is there then no common factor in these two incidents? Let us quote from Rev. c Campbell Morgan; The woman believing consented to his estimate of her position. and yet appealing to him for help The man believing protest. ed against the suggestion that Jesus should come under his roof and asked merely for the uttering of the word of command In each case faith yielding to him. gained that which it sought" ]"

GOLDEN TEXT-"Hlm that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."-John s37
 Chronologically the incident of the centurions servent precedes that of the Syrophenician woman, though we will look at them in the order sug- gested The one incident occurs near the border of Tyre and Sidon, prob ably about May or June. A. D. 29 and the other in Capernaum during the summer of A. D. 2S. Both are incl dents in the life of Jesus that have to do with his ministry as the Hebrew Messiah to those who were outside of the pale of Judaism.
 At the beginning of Marks record ty. 24 we have wonderful sugges- tion as to the strain of Jesus, ministry and the accompanying lesson that true righteousness cannot be hid, 1t speaks for itself. There Is tremen dous power in a rect<fied life.
 There are four uses of the word answered" in Matthew's record of this incident (Matt 15:212S) that are suggestive. Let us first, however get the setting. This woman was Greek "a Gentle; by race she was q Sy- rophenician, that is, a Canaanite Thus she was a descendant of that race whom God, by the hand of Josh ua, had driven out to make room for the Hebrew nation and as such IS under the ban of God See Eph. 2:12 Yet this woman reaches Jesus. her trouble being that her daughter is possessed by an unclean spirit At her approach she takes a lowly place at Jesus feet and requests that he heal the child. She calls him the Son of David" and He answered her not a word" Matt. 15:23. She had no claim upon him as the Mes siah. This was the wrong footing. for she was not a child of the kingdom It was her need that drove her to him. How she had heard of him Is suggested in Mark 3:8 and 724. of Rom 10:17 There are some ques- ton that silence will not answer wrong conclusion will be reached. as in this case the disciples came to wrong conclusion and desired to send her away" Contrast Jesus patience with the disciples impa tience. "she crieth after us" and em. phasize the danger of external judg ment. There are many great moral issues today that are demanding an other answer than that of silence.
 o<
 Jesus then made second answer the answer of law, Matthew 15 24, in which he accepts her estimate Of him as the Jewish Messiah His work was primarily to the Jews John gil 12). But her need was great and identifying herself with the need of the child she "worshipped" Jesus He is more than the Messiah, he Is a Saviour Not yet. however. is Jesus ready to grant her request. His third answer " 25l, the answer of mercy is literally that first the children must be fed, and she replied, Yea Lord. even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs For this saving viz. that she did not pro test against the words he had spoken. but accepted the proper estimate or him as being the Jewish Messiah and herself as outside of that covenant, he made a fourth answer. the answer to faith He answered. 70. woman great is thy faith" V 2S, and grants her carte blanc Cv PSI. be 1t unto thee even as thou wilt" As outcasts

ids0n County tuberculosis Hospital,
situated five miles from public square
ON the Hamilton Road. On arriving
at the hospital it was a revelation to
those who had not seen but had only
heard of this beautiful health resort.
One striking feature is its enYiable
location, which is mon and near

Is perfect; -surrOungings hygienic.
The building, being well elevated, you
you lounge or loiter on the high,
light airy porches, you are gazing
upon smiling valleys below, or view
ing towering hills that lift their
solemn heads in the distance.
Another pleasant feature is the I'M
stinted preparations and arrange
ments made to take care Of those who
are blessed with the opportunity to
be there. The wards and rooms. with
their immaculate beauty, seem to in
spire and insure health and longevity.
The antiseptic precautions taken. the
aseptic conditions maintained, the
superb equipment, the salubrity of the
atmosphere and sunshine, all combine
to resist the onslaught and ravages
of any disease.
Another special feature is the fact
that c%onveniences and comforts are
accorded colored and white alike. No
one has been heard to complain, but
speaks in highest praise of the care
and kind attention received at the
hands of those in charge of the Insti-
tuition. The greatest courtesy is
shown strangers and visitors. He.
