SNOWFALL OF JANUARY. 1914

The month was unusually mild; the
mean temperature at many stations
having been the highest on record
for January. The weather Of the
first three weeks was generally bright
and dry, and during that time much
Of stho snow at moderate elevations
disappeared. The latter part of the
month was characterized by frequent
and heavy precipitation. At tho les
ser elevations most Of this was in
the form Of rain, and some rain fell
even in the higher mountains. Fur
Their melting occurred as a result of
the rain, but the snow supply in the
higher mountains was materially
improved, both as to depth and wa

at this point. Getting well requires
the exercise Of many Of ones powers.

Today's study introduces the Master
delivering man from demon possess
sion. The people rightly understood
the difficulty: but being opposed to .Je-
sus some declared that the demons
obeyed Him because He Himself was
the Prince Of Devils. Others said. Your
miracles are all earthly; show US some
sign from Heaven.
Jesus showed that for Satan to cast
out his own hosts would signify war
fare in the demon camp. which would
imply that Satan's house was divided
and would soon fall: consequently
such an argument should have no
weight. To those who realized that
He was casting out demons by the fin-
ger Of God. the power Of God. there
should be no doubt that this was evi.
dence of special favor from God. cor

power Of Gods Kingdom was being
exercised in their midst.
When Israel rejected Christ. the
Kingdom offer was taken from them.
and they were set aside for time.
The Message has since gathered an

Jesus power in casting out demons
showed that He was able to deal with
Satan: and that, had the Kingdom
then been set up. Satan and his angels
would have been restrained. However.
In view Of the fOretold rejection Of Je-

Jesus pictures Satan's control Of the
world. likening him to strong man

can maintain control until stronger

Kingdom will be stronger than that Of
Satan and will bind him. The result
will be the deliverance of mankind
from the curse Of sin and death. which
has been upon humanity for six thou
