things we'll: He maketh even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. "-Mark 1H7 R. V.
 Last week we saw our Lord in the region of Tyre and Sidon dealing with the Syrophenician woman. In 31 (R. VI we now see him journeying back towards the Sea of Galilee through the border of that section con- taining ten cities, for that is what the word Decapolis means.
 1. JESUS THE HEALER (vv. 31. 37). Jesus had gone north seeking rest but he 'could not be hid," and now upon his return he continues to meet these sad cases which need healing, and who are brought to him by their intensely interested friends. Jesus does not need beseeching. He whose heart was touched with compassion is ready to hear the faintest cry.
 This first section is rich with sug- gestions. Jesus takes the man apart suggesting the necessity for individ. ual personal dealing with God. Men are not saved en masse but as sepa. rate individuals, 1t could not be other. wise and have a man retain his per sonality. To work any cure for our sins Jesus demands our individual at. tention. Then Jesus placed his fin. gers in the mans ears: suggesting the added emphasis that we must come into personal contact with God If we would be healed. We may stop to req. son (Isa. 1:1S) with him but our sins, that be as scarlet, will not be removed unless we come by personal, individ. ual. experience under the blood. (Eph. 1:D.
 "flis blood avaiis for all our racs.
 His blood avails for me-"
 Moistening the mans tongue with his own saliva suggests that the source Of healing is to be in Jesus own per son. Our salvation Is not in the words he spake. nor the life he lived, but the < life he gave (Heb. s:12-14).
 Fellowship With God.
 SS~~c 0Aoo ASShcu tO u3dveQ, lQOlCaI- ing that we must continue in fellow ship with God, and also indicating his own fellowship with the father. Jesus sighed over the wreck of sin. The son Of man came to bear our sorrows and to share our griefs. (Isa. 63:9). At. tention has been called to the sighs ana the tears Of Jesus. If our pray CTS were moro accompanied by tears and heartfelt sighs they would be more powerful. (cf Romans 8:26). It is equally true that if our signing were accompanied by more prayers We would accomplish more in his king. dom.
 After these preliminary and sugses. tive acts Jesus spoke the one word "Ephphatha'-Be orened---and deaf ears were opened to words of praise

THE FFoULKE TAPESTRIES.

For any enc interested In tapestry IT
was a liberal education to know the late
Charles NJ. Ffoulke, Of Washington.
There and in his F1orentine palazzo he
accumulated masterpieces OF the loom
not from a mere impulse Of acquisition,
but with an enthusiasm that amounted
10 a passion. He left a large collection
at his DEATH and this has passed into
the hands OF French & Co., who have 81

walls of their galleries and preserve

East with the soft gray delicacy OF the
Partisan atmosphere.
The most striking work in the show Is
the full size portrait Of little girl by
Guirand de Scevola, who has attained
maturity and ripeness OF sentiment By
his recent visit to Argentina. The model
is half reclining in large armchair be-
fore a yellow and green toilette table,
the mirror Of which reflects the childs
face, beaming with mirth. The compost
ton Of the cushions, pieces OF dainty
furniture, the blue vase with flowers and
the minute dolls and toys on the
lacquered table Is highly successful, and
so adrotly arranged as not TO detract
attention from the dominating features
Of the character and expression or The
child's face. II is an admirable portrait
and the finest work that this artist has
yet exhibited. Abel Faivre sends six
portraits of young women replete with
grace and charm. The best OF these IS
that Of blond lady in straw ha:
with blue flowers. profusion Of lace, blue
corsage. and pressing to her breast
dainty white hand grasping a nosegay
OF corn flowers. Georges Picard ex-
hibits delightful portraits OF a girl and
boy in subdued tones of blues, whites
and yellows.
One Of the most striking and original
works is the Ballet at the Opera
viewed from behind a lady in evening
dress seated in box. the minute figure,
OF the dancers appearing or the STAGE in
the distance. The ballet figures look like
midgets as they appear between tho
lady's art and head. The effect is ad-
mirable. Gervex has reached his Indian
