. The comparison of the Venezuela of President Gomes to the Mexico of
Porfirio Dlas Is Inevitable. General Gomes Is of a later school. In many ways
he Is following a 'wiser course than General Dlas. He htfs better constltu

. the administration of President Gomes rests firmly on a tripod the three feet

"My son will be back In a quid

five minutes, the time It takes to chew
a quid of slrlh. After waiting half an
hour you return and say, "It la now
'kay,' cooking time (the time It take
to cook a 'kay' of rice), and he la not
here." "Sorry," says the native; 'ha
has sent a message that he cannot be
here until a 'gungtang' cooking time"
(the time it takes to cook a "gangtang"
of rice, about 00 minutes).
"The Hon came In the silence of the

An exasperating custom of the Bis

thing happened as long ago as It takes
to walk from some place you have
never heard of. to another place you
have never heard of. In one village the
standard expression for four hours was
the time that It took a lame old woman
to hobble half way to the other side of

I. Jesus Praying (v. 85).
After a series of most strenuous ef
forts, Jesus retired to a lonely plac
to nrav. Doubtless He felt the need
of having His spiritual strength re
cruited, i He who the day before naa
shown His mlffhtr power In casting
out devils and banishing disease now
needed to be alone with God. in or
der to do this He arose long before
ri.viieht He had slept at Peter's
house and withdrew to a solitary place
unpercelted. . The very best time to
nrav is In the morning when our phys
ical powers have been renewed.
U. round by Peter (w. 80, 87).
Hla work of the preceding day had
made such a profound Impression that
the multitudes sought Him. Sine
the neonle were so aroused uie ais-
oiniea thought that It was the oppor
tune time' to press the campaign. For
that reason Peter, and pernaps ab
Aravr .Tnmoa nnd John, eazerlv sought
Him and told Him what the multitudes
were doing. ,
III. Preaohlng In Other Towna (vr.
88, 89). '

His program despite the success which
had attended His efforts at Caper
naum. Popularity In a given place Is
not the criterion by which to deter
mine the wisdom of remaining there.

pose that He cam forth from the
Heavenly Father. ; '
IV. Jeeua Heals a Leper (vr. 40-45).

not only shows His mighty power and
divine Jove but It is symbolical. Lep-
rosy Is a type of sin.

an outcast because of this defilement

and the so-called "faith healing."
& His Stern Charge w 43, 44).
Christ dismissed him with a strict
charge that he should not make this
known. The reason for this, was that
wide publicity, would create such ex
citement as to Interfere with His
preaching. ' Furthermore, he was still
ceremonially unclean. His going to
the nrlesta with a. proper offering
would Indicate his regard for the laws
and customs of Moses and therefore
disarm prejudice, '"".',.;,'
6. Willful Disobedience (v. 45)., In
