George said, “but I did a little figur- . , , ... . __ _

necessary for transportation and to '
restore my depleted wardrobe to the
dignity required for appearance there
as a senator’s wife, would be adequate
to finance the reconstruction of the
little farm house into a small but
comfortable home. ”
So, the decision was made and Mrs
George appointed herself "a finance
and reconstruction committee of one
in the George family." The house,
four rooms and English Georgian in
form, was remodeled into n colonial
type. A porch, a bath and a kitchen
ette were added, the interior was re-
doenrated and the family moved in.
The home was furnished with a
lirtew to comfort and utility. “Any
thing in here," Mrs. George said, “can
be used, sat on or even scratched
without offense to my housewifely
principles. I want it to be a haven of
comfort rather than a dominion of

One is -Mrs. George’s chamber,
furnished with possessions with which
she began her first venture in hduse-
keeping as a bride 30 years ago. The
Other is the “childrens’ ” room. The
children pre two grown sons, Heard
and Marcus. The bed chambers a*-e
decorated in varying tones of violet.
Draperies in the home, knitted
bedspreads, tufted comforts and evrn
a woolen afghan—a soft woolep robe
for chilly days—were all made by
Mrs. George’s own hands. The furr-
ishings, Mrs. George says, didn’t cost
much ary even if there are but two
bedrooms emergency arrangements
can be made for guests.
“I call this my flve-and-ten house”
Mrs. George explained. “It is a real
bargain counter production, rugF,
draperies and everything."
A dog house that one of the sons
built—the male members of the
George family are enthusiastic hunt
ers and fishers—completes the Home.
Mrs. George is a native of Vienna
who still is called “Miss Lucy” or
just “Lucy” by her friends at Vienna

The Condition at Caperniuni
Jesus had conducted his missionary
tour from Capermum. He had now
reached the height of his earthly
fame. Calvary was now looming near.
He had gained the hatred of Herod
Antepoa who was tetrach of Gulden
under the Roman government. This
was a case of jealousy, Herod was
fearful that Jesus had designs arm
aims for a temporal kingdom. The
Pharisees were also his bitter ene
mies and sought to put an end to
him. The inciuent in his performance
of the miracle of the feeding of the

and possession of supernatural powei
but this very incident was going to
be used against him. The people

Sidon, cities of Pnonecia situated' on
the Mediterranean Sea. Tyre was one
of the most famous of the ancient
cities as its situation was almost im-
preginable. It was situated on an is
land only a few rods from the shore.
It was so impregnable . that Neber-
uhaJnezzar besieged it for 13 years
and failed to capture it. It was found
ed about 2759 B. C. So we see that
;ven in Christ’s time it was quite an
ancient city. At the time of Christ it
was a Christian center. The apostle
Paul also visited it at a 'later date.
In the year 1291 A. D. it was cap
tured by the Soracens and has been a
Mohameden city since then. It now
has about 4,000 inhabitants. The city
of Sidon was about 20 miles north of
Tyre and was built on an arm of land
that extended out into the water., It
was the most influential city of an
cient Phonecia and consisted of about
10,000 inhabitants. Jesus readied Si

for the temporal gifts that he might
give to them. So long as Jesus wai
giving them something material he
was alright, but when he began tc
teach them of his spiritual side they
began to desert him. Of course this
did not include his real followers.
Thus this turning at Capemium was
the turning point in the Saviour’s
career and the people began definitely
to turn against him.
From 29 A. D. to the Passover of
30 A. D. the Lord left the Galileean
center of activity four different times.
The first was to Tyre and Sidon. This
also included a trip to Decopoils as
he returned. The second trip was to
Caesare-Plhilippi. Then in the fall of
the year he made two trips to Jeru
salem. The first was to attend the
feast of the tabernacles. The fourth
and last to the feast of the dedica-
ion. On these two trips to Jerusalem
there was exhibited the animosity to
ward the Master. When the Saviour
was on his return from the first trip
to Jerusalem he stopped at Parea
where the seventy disciples were sent
forth. The fourth place of retreat was
Ephriam to the east then to Jericho,
thence back to Bethany where on
Saturday before the spectacle on
Calvary the feast for the seventy
was spread and Jesus anointed
against the day of his death.
The Phonecian Ministry
He (Jesus) now leaves Capemium.
He was closing his ministry here. His
leaving Capemium was no cowardly
act. He was not trying to get out of
Herod’s territory nor to get away
from those who were criticising him.
He bad for the time being completed
his work here. He was in dire need of
physical rest and also of privacy in
which to give needed training to the
twelve. From this retreat he arose

added that “everything we have done

“We will win this war if the people

“So far they have—they have been

She was a Greek and spoke tne Greek
language and also was one Of the
Gentiles so hated by the Jews. ■
One of the Smartest Women of the
New Testament
This Greek mother Had a small
'aughter probably about twelve years
of age that was in a deplorable con
dition. She was what was called at
that time a demoniac. In modern
terms she must have been what we
term a maniac; and as sach she was
certainly a care for a mother as well
as a sorrow. As bad a shape as this
child was in she had one hope, tho
this hope was not recognized by her,
she had a praying mother and where
there is a praying mother things are
going to happen. Immeriately after
tiffs Syrophonecian woman had ap
proached the Saviour she made her
appeal to him. How did she Know oi
have any idea about the power of
Jesus? The answer is that she had
witnesses among her own people for
there were those of her people who
had heard the sermon on the Mount
and saw Jesus perform miracles. She
followed Jesus to the house where ho
was stopping and fell down and per
haps worshiped iiim but certainly as
an act of most intense entreaty. She
not only fell at his feet and asked him
to heal her little girl but she kept on
oegging him. Not only did she tell
him her trouble but she plead with him
to heal her daughter. She called him
the son of David in recognition of his
Messiahship. Jesus listened to her
and seemed unmoved by her plea. As
a rule he never needed to be asked a
second time to do an act of kindness
or mercy. He had in times past even
anticipated people’s wants and grant
ed them. The test which Jesus made
in this case was a revelation. By his
silence he did not aim to construe the
faot that he was indifferent to her
pleas. Far from that. After some time
Jesus spoke to her but
the answer that . he gave her
was different from any answer he had
given to any one else who had ever
intreated him in behalf of themselves
or their loved ones. He said to the
Syrophonecian, “Let the children first
