I. Marvellous Unbeiief. wv. :1-6a).
Jesus is rejected the second time at
Nazareth. He entered into the syna-
gogue on the Sabbath, as was his GUS
tom. and the people We're astonished
! at his doctrine. His application of
the scripture was similar to that of
his first rejection. The significance of
this visit is found in verses 5 and 6
the limitation of the mighty Christ
through unbelief by those who knew
him best.
u. The Mission Of the Twelve. wv.
Ga-16). From the parallel account we
find why Jesus sent forth these disci-
Piles (AIatt. 9:3G)-because the peo-
pie were scattered as sheep without a
shepherd. In the tenth chapter of
Matthew we find the names of those
whom he sent out wv. 2-5)), the fifth
verse of which designates that only
Jews We're included in this mission.
We need to remember that these dis
ciples We're sent out before his cruci-
/ fixion. Their pilgrim character Is
shown in Mark go. and the solemn
manner of their dealing with those
who reject them is indicated in verse
eleven. They were being sent forth
as sheep in the midst of wolves. They
were to be delivered up to the council
and hailed before the rulers of the
synagogues, but with them was to 60
an enabling power (Nfatt. 1O:20).
Meeting persecution was to be a part
of their program. They anticipate the
persecution with which Christ is iden.
titled, for he exhorts them (Niatt.
10 :28-31), to be of courage and to fear
not, for are they not 'of more value
than the sparrows?' Their going forth
was to bring divisions (Matt. 1O:34),
but also reward to those who re-
cefved them aright-a righteous mans
reward. (Matt. 1O:4O-42.) Notice
their obedience mark 8:12-13), and
their achievements as the visible evi.
dence Of the power they had received.

been paid.
The Bryn Hilda, which carried a
crew of twenty-four persons, sailed
from New York for Algoa Bay,
Africa September %. with general
cargo. The next day an American
mine sweeper coming up the coast
ran into a large amount Of wreck
age, among which was part of the
rail of the reported missing ship and
the bow OF one of her lifeboats.
r. f. Allen. who is in charge OF
the sailing vessel department of the
Cosmopolitan Shipping company,

the Bryn Hilda was attacked by a
submarine. but escaped after being
struck by one she'll that wrecked her
wireless. tore off her rail and one
lifeboat- Today's report OF the ar
rival OF the Bryn Hiida at Algoa Bay
shows that she was running on
schedule time. She Is under the
command of Captain J. F.. kenneally,

PRAISE FOR RAILROAD
MEN BY M'ADO0

Washington, Dec. 25.-Director
General of Railroads McAdoo issued
the following Christmas message TO
railroad men:
Christmas this year will have a
special significance to people every
where. For the first time in four
years the world is at peace and rail-
road men can be happy in the con-
seriousness that they have contributed
their full share to this result. |
shall aways remember the splendid
selves to the task of running the
railroads at a time when their
efficient operation was absolutely
fundamental to the winning Of the
war. ! am proud to have been asso-
ciated with them in this great job.
The railroads have not alone
carried the tremendous burden
thrown upon them by war but they
are now in better shape than ever
before in our history. For the COM
ing winter have no fear OF their
ability.to do the work required OF
them.
And now as am about to sever
my connections with the officers and
employees of the railroads, l want to
assure them of my deep regret al
being forced to take this step. Among
the happiest memories of my life will
be those connected with my work as
director general Of railroads. l shalt
always cherish the friendships I have
formed with railroad officers and
employees, and | take this opportu-
nifty to assure them that although
shall no longer be their boss I shall
always be theis friend.

the president IN lines which held
straight despite the tricky water
soaked soil. Infantry. cavalry tanks,
and a dozen French dogs who had
struck up a gay camaraderie with
the dough- boys marched by the COM
mandcr in chief and the grand finale
came from the elements.
All day long the sky had been
overcast and sieet had been falling
when The president left the train at
Chaumont, bur when the parade was
in It's last stages, the clouds parted
and sunshine frightened the dis
tsnt hill sides and the dull helmets of
OF soldiers.
Maybe il was the phenomenal
Wilson luck" and again. maybe It
might be attributed to the thought
that some one higher wished to
brighten Christmas day for the many
American boys IN France today, thou
sands OF miles from home and their
people. The day surely was an en-
iovahle one for President and Mrs.
Wilson. for from the time he arrived
az Chaumont till the return Of the
train tonight all this part of France
tried 10 Guido the welcome Paris
gave them the other day.
