A contractor was at the fountain pen; counted*, making a purchase. “Yojli s6e?’ he said, ‘1 am 'buyirig this for my wife?* "A surprise, eh? “i’ll say so, 'She is expecting a eari?* Accident? Gentlemen; — The soullessness of Corporations such as yours is astounding. Let me review my case. A week, ago I went around to inspect a new house that is being built for me, ‘On the top floor I found a -pile of (brick which was not needed there. Feeling in­ dustrious, I decided to remove the bricks. In the elevator shaft was a rope and pulley and on one end of the rope was a barrel. I pulled the barrel up to the top and after walk­ ing down the ladder again, fastened the rope firmly at the bottom of the shaft. Then I climbed the ladder again, and filled the barrel with the bricks. Down the ladder I went again, five storeys, mind you, and untied the rope to let the barrel down, The barrel was heavier than I was and before I had time to study the pro­ position, I was going- u’p the shaft with my speed increasing every minute. Half way up I met the barrel of bricks coming down. The encounter was brief but spirited. I got the worst of it and continued on my way toward the roof. That is, most of me went on, but my epidermis clung to the 'barrel and returned to earth. Then I struck the roof at the same time as the barrel struck the cellar. The shock knocked the breath out of me and the bottom ouit of the barrel. Then I was heavier than the bar­ rel and I started down the shaft while the barrel started u'p. We met in the middle of our journey, and again the barrel uppercut me, pounded my solar, plexus, barked my shins, bruised my body, and skinned my fa'ce. When we became disentangled, I resumed my journey downward, and the barrel went ■higher. iS'oon I was at the bottom and stopped so suddenly that I lost my remarkalbile presence of mind and let g,o the rope. This released the barrel which had reached the top of .the shaft, and it fell five storeys and landed on top of me, and it landed hard too. It was five accidents, but your agent says it was only one and in­ stead' of $125 a week I only get $25. Well, I won't be skinned by a barrel or an insurance company so you can return my premium and I’ll return your policy. Yours truly), —W. B. R., Montreal ENGINEERS DISCUSS LOW COST ROADS T. R. Patterson, Huron County engineer, addressed the annual meeting of the Ontario Good Roads Association which met in Toronto last week on the question of low cost roads. County) engineers from four other counties' contributed to the discussion: D. J. Emery, Wat­ erloo County*; G. E. /Stephenson, Bruce County; R. M. Lee, Brant County and H. D.

LATE MBS. JOHN SCHNELL Another of Zurich’s elderly resi­ dents was called by death on Feb­ ruary. 2'8th1, when the 'call came to Mrs. Elizabeth Weber, relict of the late John Schnell, of Zurich, at the age .of 79 years, 5 months and 18 days. Deceased was a resident of Zurich practically all her life, be­ ing a daughter of the well known family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Cas­ per Welber, pioneers of the district On December 2nd the late Mrs. Schnell fell and fractured her hip, at which time she was removed to Clinton hospital for treatment. After a month at the hospital, she was brought back' to her home and since that time she grew weaker until on Sunday she passed away. Her hus­ band predeceased her about ten years ago. She is survived byl three sons, Edward Schnell, of Bayfield; George, of Border Town, N. J., and Eldon, of Detroit. Two daughters Mrs. Ed. Chalies and Mrs. Nora Hoagland, 'both' of Detroit; four bro­ thers, Harry Weber, of Kitchener; Adolph Weber, of Ingersoll; Louis and Charles Weber of Zurich and three sisters, Mrs. Beers, of Buffalo; Mrs. Demuth, of Pont Arthur and Mrs. I. Laidlaw, of Crosswell, Mich. Sunday School Lesson JESUS PRAYING FOR HIS DISCIPLES Sunday, March 14—John 16:1 to 17:26 Golden Text That they may be one, even as we are one (John- 17:22.) The prayer of loftiest spiritual heights in all the Bible fills1 the seventeenth chapter of John’s gospel Other very wonderful prayers are recorded, in the Old Testament and the New-—prayers that could have come only from human hearts mov* ed by God’s Holy .Spirit. Some of these were voiced by Moses, David, Solomon, Daniel and Paul, But none nhnidmm of them, exalted though they are in spirit and subject, can ibe compared with' this, the- high-priestly prayer ol the Lord Jesus Christ. It was utter­ ed the night before His crucifixion, and, while not His last prayer on earth, was His last recorded prayer of intercession in behalf -of His apostles, and in behalf of the entire Church of Christ that was to come into being. For the Lord prayer, concerning the apostles; “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me thro’ their word.” Is it not a remarkable fact, and does it not put God’s own seal upon prayer as a vital necessity, that the Son of God, Himself God, the crea­ tor and Saviour of Men, prayed dur­ ing His earthly lifetime as no man has ever* prayed and continues to pray today? “We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2;1) who “ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Heb. 7:25)-—that is, for all “that come unto God by Him.” If the Son of God needed to pray, and still prays, surely we need to pray. Nothing took Christ by surprise He knew that Judas, one of the apostles, was going to betray Him. He knew that the Jewish council or Sanhedrin was going to condemn Him to death, and that, by the au­ thority of the Roman Government. He was going to- be crucified. He knew also that He was going to rise again from thed ead on the third day, later ascend back1 to His Father in heaven, and still later come back again to this earth to reign over it. All this He plainly foretold. Yet, as the hour of His shameful death approached, He prayed “Fa­ ther, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee.” We saw in the lesson of two weeks ago that Christ prayed, con­ cerning the death for which He came from heaven, to earth, “Father glorify- Thy name” (John 12:28) So God was glorified1 in the death of His Son, who laid down His life that THERE’S NO DELAY WHEN YOU ORDER A NEW CHEVROLET i iONE RIDE PROVES IT!

SNELL BROS. & CO., EXETER Associate John Passmore & Son, H&isall, Ont. Dealers C. Fritz & Son, Zurich; John Sprowl, Lucan T E Jrk lost sinners might be served from from the second death, the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14). There is only one Saviour, -only one way of salvation, and Christ declared this in His high-priestly prayer. To the Father He said: “Thou hast given Him (the Son) po­ wer over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to .as many as Thou hast given Him.” What is eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him” What is eternal life, and how is it obtained? “And this is life eternal, that they might show Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.” Let no one think that he can know God and reject, or be indifferent to, Christ. The world, or kosmos, which is a Greek word occurring repeatedly in this chapter for mankind or the world system, is opposed to God. This is made plain in this high- priestly prayer as in other parts of the Bible. “Whosoever will” may come out of the world and be saved by receiving Christ as Saviour. Christ made God known unto the men “which Thou gayest Me out of the world.” Then He sayg plainly: “I pray for them: I pray- not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me.” Again: "‘I have giv­ en them my word; and the 'world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of th© world,” But Christians must live ip the world, so the Lord prays; “I pray not that Thou sh'ouldst take them out of the world, but that Thou sho'uldst keep them opt of the world but that Thou shouldst keep them from the evil?’ This vitality important distinfe- tion between the world and the body of true 'believers, and the basic an­ tagonism ofi the world to God, is brought out in John 16:7-11; 17:6; 9, 14, 16, 2-5, It will make a pro­ fitable study for any -Sunday) school class, and explains why Christ asks His true Church to be separated from the world, and why He calls Satan “the Prince of the W’orld” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11.) There are seven distinct petitions in this high-priestlyi prayer, which have been noted by others as fol­ lows: (1) That Jesus may Ibe glori­ fied as the Son who has glorified the Father (v. 1; Phil. 2:911); (2) for restoration to the eternal glory (V. 5); (3) for the safety1 of believ­ ers from (a) for' the safety) of be­ lievers from (a) world (v. 11), (lb) the evil one (v. 15); (4) for the sanctification of believers (v. 17); 05) for the spiritual unity of be­ lievers (v. 21); (6) that the world may believe (v. 21); (7) that be­ lievers may be with Him in heaven to behold and share His glory (v. 24).
