made a worthwhile contribution
to the annals of his Church.
Inresponse to a request from
the editor of The Signal for
something of a reminiscent na-

by many friends in this county
and beyond.

the keynote of all the meetings and

bers, that they might be led to see
their Individual responsibility. The
Governor-General, Lord Tweedsmuir,

treachery would force Itself upon him
as these words fell upon his ears -
"Judge, betrayest thou the Son of man
with a kiss?"
"Lord, shall we smite with the
sword?" was the eager question of
St. Peter. His rash action led to the
last human touch by Jesus before Tfls
arrest. He stretched out Ills hand,
touched the ear of the man and healed
It. Then, not attempting to get away,
He stood before the crowd in the full
moonlight in His lonely majesty and
asked, "Whom are ye seeking?" This,
St. 'John prints out, was to secure Ills
disciples from being molested.
Seeing In the multitude some of the
chief priests and elders, Jesus turned
to them and said, "neje come out as

staves? When 1 was dally with you

hands against Me: but this is your
