After his teaching by the parable ot the soil and the lighted candle, .Testis exhibited his credentials, enforcing his teaching by demonstrations of his mighty power. I. Jesus Calming the Storm (vv. 2223). Iu fids miracle he demonstrated his power over nature. 1. Jesus asleep (v. 23). While the disciples were sailing the ship tlie Master fell asleep. 2. The frightened disciples (vv. 23. 21). The storm seems to have been an unusuul one. These sturdy men were used to storms, hut as their ship was being filled witli water tbey awoke Jesus with their cry of fear, 3. Jesus rebuked the wind and water (v. 24). At his word there was a great calm. We can with confldeucc put our trust in Jesus Christ. 4. Jesus rehuked the disciples (v. 2d). After rebuking the raging ele- j* uients, he turned to the disciples. Ue | did not rebuke tltem for waking hliu, j hut for their lack of faith. II. Jtsua Casting Out Demons (vv. 20-30). I In this mighty act Jesus* power over demons was demonstrated. Demon *possession was in that day, and it is today, an awful reality. The eharnct eristics are often similar to cases of insanity and many are called insane, who are really demon-possessed. ^ 1. Jesus met by the demoniac (vv. 0 20-23). This poor man's suffering was e, dreadful. lie abode in the tombs without clothing. At the sight of Jesus jj he made an outcry anil foil down be- ^ tore him and besought him not to torment hliu. There Is no doubt in I lie e mind of demons as to the reality of a place of torment. : 2. Jesus' question (v. 30). lie asked 1 bins, "What is thy name?" Ills pur- | n pose was to bring the real man to j consciousness, to enable blni to dis- j a> tlnguisli between himself and the do- i o mon who lick! him. The answer shows w lhat the man thought his ease was ? hopeless. He said, "Lesion," which meant lhat many demons had entered j, into him. n 3. The demons' request (vv. 31, 32). g They naked permission to enter into w r u herd of swine. n 4. Thetr request granted (vv. 32. 33). Just why this was done we do not know. Since Jesus did it, we must heliere that It was right and wise. t 5. The effect upon the people (vv. 34 87). a. Tin- keepers of the swine went I and made It known In the city and country. h. The people ninde Investigation. They saw the man sitting at the feet 1 ot Jeans, clothed and in his right mind, v and heard the testimony of those who I had seen what was done. e c. The multitude besought Jesns to l depart from them. How sad It Is thnt in the face of the mighty works of o Jesus meu will not open their hearts t] to him. a 6. Tiie request of the healed man c (vv. 38, 3d). Ue di sired to be with tl Jesus. This was natural and right, c but his responsibiliiy was to go home aimw u; Lui* pccpit* mere wuui great things God had done for him. III. Jesus' Power Over Disease (vv. 13-18). Jesus heals a woman with an Issue of hlood. Observe: 1. Her helpless condition (v. 43). She hud been a great sufferer for twelve long years (Mark 5:20). 2. Her faith (v. 44). nor faith was demonstrated by pressing her way through the thronging multitude. 3. Her confession (v. 47). She thought furtively to get the blessing, but Jesus had her make a public confession. 4. Christ's words of encouragement (v. 48). He told her that It was her faith, not her touch, that saved her. and bade her go in peace. IV. Jeauc Raises the Dead (vv. 1042; 50-50). 1. Jolrus' request (vv. 40-42). His "ru REA0Y( TUC.

C., Feb. 14.?North Carolina is among the eight states showing a decrease i:i farm income ill 1935, according to the report of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. For the whole nation there a 12 per cent, increase in farm income. Total recepits from sales of principal farm products and from rental and benefit payments were $6,832,- j 932,000 in 1936. compared with $6,-| 102,901,000 in 1934, with $4,871,606,000 in 1933, and $4,235,362,000 in 1932. Smallest improvement in income was in the South Atlantic region. The only states showing reduced income in 1935 were Maine, Nebraska, North Carolina. South Carolina. Florida, Alabama, and New Mexico. Increased farm income last year was due primarily to a 20 ptr cent, rise in the general level of farm j prices, says the report. Crop price I; gains were relatively small, 'but 11 prices for livestock and livestock pro! ducts advanced considerably, causing i a marked variation in the different j regions in the extent of the improvement in farm income over 1934."' j Marked increases in cash receipts j in Indiana and neighboring states J and in most of the mountain states 1 and Oklahoma resulted principally j from increased income from livestock. In Kentucky and Louisiana, larger rental and benefit payments, together with increased income from livestock, were mainly responsible for the larger income. On the other hand, most of the declines in income were due to reducd income from crops. In Maine, smaller incomes from potatoes, due to lower price during most of the year, was the chief factor in decline in receipts. In Nebraska the principal reduction was in in-1 " come from corn, and in North Caro-1 Una, South Carolina and Alabama, j ^ | the lower price of cotton for the 1935 1 x j crop was reflected in moderate lossa j es. The slight decline in income in r | Florida wa3 due primarily to reduced -j i income from citrus fruits. t Income Southern Forests Increases Southern National Forests brought. | ' in more revenue from the sale of tim- j ? j her during the last six months of j I ' 1935 than any othor Federal Forest 1 II Service Region In the United States j t except one in the Northwest timber j '; belt. According to Joseph C. Kirc'ner, j ~ ; Southern Regional Forester, income 11 from timber sales for that period j e amounted to $197,000. This was an r increase of $33,000 over a similar, 1 Deriod the vear ~ I Kircher stated that increased ac- j tivily in the lumber market was re- ; y sponsible for this upturn. He ex-1 11 plained that the United States For-' 3 est Service makes no effort to stini- 1 e ulate timber sales but waits for ap- j " plications from lumbermen to lake i 3 timber out for market.
