Ainsworth Preparation in Advance, 1-a Four relationships of Jesus are in­ dicated in this one sentence. He en­ tered Jerusalem, the city over which he had shed tears, and to which he had made his last appeal in vain. He entered the Temple and looked around at everything, probably recall­ ing his visit at the age of twelve, and grieving in spirit at the formality and coldness of the worship. Wnen eventide was come he went out to Bethany, the.' home where dwelt some of his dearest friends. With him were the twelve disciples who had been his companions during his public ministry.

The time had come for him to make a dramatic appeal to Jerusalem. I-Ie sent two of his dis­ ciples to borrow a colt. Probably this arrangement had been made before­ hand, as Jesus left nothing to chance It is no sign of faith to trust to the moment. Great achievements are made possible only by thorough planning. This is especially true in modern church cessful Sunday .School or to stage an effective convention requires atten­ tion to the last detail. There are Christjans who have no. gift of elo­ quence but who have excellent or­ ganizing capacity. M'en of high ex­ ecutive ability are usually found to be those who make arrangements far ahead. When Jesus rode into Jer­ usalem tat Palm Sunday it was a de­ liberate assertion of his Messiahshlp and a deliberate challenge to the au­ thorities in Jerusalem. The Courage of Jesus the work.

In his in­ augural address President Roosevelt used phrases from this narrative in announcing his intention to inaug­ urate banking reform. The oftener we read this story, the more we marvel at the sheer courage of our Christ. Outnumbered as he was, ho1 was then a match for the traders be­ cause of his moral force. His eyes blazed forth in righteous indignation His words burned as he quoted, “My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Let no one say that religion has nothing to do with economics. Jesus would never allow religion and morality to be divorced. Perhaps the truest test of Christianity is not correct worship but everyday business ethics in our land. True religion will not long allow greed and graft to. be sheltered under the very shadow of the Temple. Yet when Jesus sed the Temple he awakened onism which made the Cross able. “Keep pushing, w ’Tis better than sitting aside.

Sources are exhausted. That President Roosevelt is making an heroic effort to better conditions in his own country is admitted by everyone. At the same time there is grave danger that his thrustful methods his good intentions. Here is a quotation from the Times-Journal that sets forth this contention: “No keener thrust has been made at the President the New York Times, nominally a Democratic newspaper, which re­ minds him that when Great Britain went off the gold standard, it paid its foreign obligations in gold currency, even if so The Times adds that no doubt Britain found it well as honorable. The circumstances are unfortunate, and it is to President will not hold implacably to his policy, , does not Wish foreign bondholders to be at an advantage ovex American bondholders. But the amount must be so small in com­ parison that it should not occasion him much misgiving to relent.

They cast their garments on the ground, they cut down branches to scatter on his path and they shouted “Hosanna. Blessed js he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.” It is fre­ quently said that those who shouted “Hosanna” to Jesus one day, shouted, “Crucify him” the next. This is, an error. Those calling out “Hosanna” were his loyal followers from Galilee, “the people” referred to in the sen­ tence, “The scribes and priests sought to lay hands on him, but they feared s It re- 50 per cent, of what was Huron County road last the goverment has its way next year’s cheque will on- A way office, Parliament Buildings, Toron­ to to the office of Gordon Young, County Treasurer, Goderich, presents spent on year.

I iSomeone has learn how they „ money-makers, but they are men who have made the world better by their achievements in science, architecture, engineering, educa­ tion, art, etc. They are men who have influenced the moral as well as the physical side of our nation. It is interesting to note the beginnings of their life work. Three hundred started as farmers’ sons.. Two Two One One Fifty began at the bottom of railroad work. Fifty—only fifty—had wealthy parents to give them a start. A lazy boy did not discover the- telephone. A lazy boy did not learn how to control steam or invent the steam boiler.

Herriott, the Prime Minister of “France must These are the . _ Flrance. Let us hope that these word® herald a new day in inter­ national relationships. Far too long have the nations been suspect­ ed in making international agreements of saying one thing and of meaning another. No matter how carefully a treaty seems to have been framed, no matter how obvious its meaning, there lias been a lurking suspicion that words and meaning do not correspond, that, in fact, words in the agreement were supposed to conceal intention rather than to reveal intention. Despite apparent arrangements, the treaty always was suspected of leaving the way open for treach­ ery. Now Prime Minister Herriott uses another expression. “France must be a faithful friend.” he says. Let that conception'once pre­ vail and disarmament and a hundred kindred probems- will be solved. Let those who merchandise learn that business is not profit­ snatching and commerce will take on a new colour. Let the cus­ tomer feel that he need not be wary of the vendor and the retail business of the world will wear a new colour, No customer should require to be wary, no house should require to be wary of its cus­ tomer. Distrust must bo conquered. Where there is little con- findence progress must be slow and life unsatisfactory. Grim experience has taught IM. Harriott the necessity of fidelity in international relationships. Four years of heartbreak have taught the world that a man’s yea should bo yea. and his nay, nay. Perfidy is poison. Fidelity is life. For 30 cents you can telephone about 100 miles by making an "any­ one” call (station- to-station) after 8.30 p.m. See list of rates in front of directory. "You must be lonely these days,” Joe Hanley suggested, "now that young Jim has left home.” "Why, not at all,” replied Old Jim, pointing to the telephone with a smile. "We talk with the lad on Long Distance every 'week. And it’s almost as good as seeing him.” "Isn’t it expensive?” "Why no, station-to-station night rates make it about 25 cents.” ILet Long Distance keep you in touch with friends and relations. It is quick, clear, dependable and the cost is trifling. Could Not Lie Down to Sleep She Was So Short of Breath Mrs. P. J. Chernoff, Shoreacres, B.C., writes:-— “I had been so troubled with shortness of breath I could not he down to sleep. I couldn’t do any hard work, or climb the stairs, and had nervous and smothering feelings, and became very weak. I tried all kinds of medicine, but could not get any relief, until after I had taken three boxes of Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills, and since then I have felt better in every way.” For sale at all drug and general stores; put up only by The T.
