While Jeaus was at supper, Mary anointed him with ccatly ointment, the die- ciples, but chiefly Judas, criticised this act as a waste ot rnoney that might be given to the poor, Rees ap- proved of her act, as It was an anoint- ing for Hie burial and, there would be constant opportunity to give to the poor. V. Topic: Acknowledged Kingship. Place: From Bethany to Jeructaiem. On- Sunday Jesus and His dieelples went from Bethany to Jerusalem. Jesus rode on a colt which was ob- tained .by the disciples in a village near by. 11... crowd of people tollowed Him and another crowd came out of Jerusalem to meet Him. The people welcomed Him with great enthusiasm ea the King or Israel. Some Greelca sought Jeeus and He apoke to them concerning His mission. VI. Topic: Love's service.

Unfruitful branches were taken away. He told them to love one another. There is nothing that can take the place of love. True Christians have love one for the dther. VIII. Topic: A ruined nation. Place:: Jerusalem. 'The letimerance lesson is from Isaiah. Israel etad .become a nation of drunkards, and Samaria, "the crown of pride," was doomed to destruction because of the sins or the people. The beauty of the hill and the valleys would be changed to desola• teen. The nation of Judah wasalso becoming weak through Intemperance. The evils of drunkenness are por- trayed. IX: Topic: Christian perfection. Place: An upper mem in Jerusalem. In Christ's farewell discourse he gives his disciples much instruction and encouragement. Among other things he gives them the promise that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will come to them if he goes away. The Com- forter would remain witli them for eter. He would testify ef Christ, and would reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and ot judgment. He would remind them of what Jesee had said to them while he was with them, X. Topic: Love wounded. Places: Gethsemane and the high Driest's palace. After leaving the upper room Jesus and his disciples went to the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed. Judas, who had bargained with Jewish officials to betray Jesus to them, led a, crowd into the garden and pointed Jesus out to them by kissing him.

Such a Miracle as that and tee beating of -the men born blind were unmistakable scrip- tural evidences of Christei Messiah - Map and, such as the Jewish nation were taught to expect in the Messiah. While many of the people were being ccuvinced, the Jewish rulers were losing the pre-eminenee in matters of Wigton. They platted secretly and labored openly to moula popular opin- ion against Jesus. They could nog. deny the graciousness of his works. They could not find him gulitY crime. They could only clamor against what they interpreted as disregard for their traditions. They could not en - (lure his claim of equality and open- uess with the Father. Nothing but his death would satisfy their frenzied hatred. Only through Roman decree could they reach that end. Expectipg to find in Judas a -valuable assistant In carrying out the capture of Jesus, they satisfied his greed for money by hiring him to make it possible for the Roman soldiers with representations from the Jewish authorttles to get Jesus into their power.

The vital connection with. himself in the figure of the vine was a lesson, the spiritual import of which would best be understood. after his resurrection. "Unto the end" Jesus ever guarded and loved his disciples." At the cross his most self -forgetful love was ex- hibited in behalf - of his mother, to whom he gave his disciple John .as a son, and to kim he gave a mother.

The crux of Sir Robert Borden's argument for Ilia immediate adoption of conscrip- tion is that thus only can enough men be obtained- to meet the de- mand for at least seventy thousand men to keep Canada's four 'divisions In the field during the next seven Months, and that the war situation aud the Allied needs justify the Governmeut's proposals. To -day figures were given to the House as to the available reserves from emoug the Canadian troops in England, and the Prime Minister, in reply to a question as to the concrete sugges- tions by the imperial War Cabinet for concerted assistance of the over- seas Domtnions, and efiat the deliber- ations of the Londou Conference had been of a general character, and no special consideration had been given to individual action. Two statements were given as to the Canadian forces available to be drawn upon in England tor the front. Sir Edward Kemp, in reply to Mr. E. M. Macdonald, of Pictou, said that on the 4th of this morith Can- ada, lead 136,400 troops of all ranks in France, with 474 in the Near East, and 130 at St. Lucia. On. the same date there were t06,736. troops of all ranks in Eng- land, not counting those in hospitals and convalescent homes, but count- ing those on passage from Canada to England. On the first of the month there were 17,556 troops of all ranks in Canada. Despite the large total of over one hundred thousand 'men still in Eng- land, Sir Edward said that there were only twenty-eight thousand nien immediately available for rein- forceinent purposes. 99,125 COMBLRANTS IN ENGLAND.

The Premier replied that the War Cabinet had been instituted with a view to securing cousultation which might result "in greater unity or purpose and in more effective co- operatton." NO CONCRETE DECISION CONSM- Ert Mr. Devlin pressed dfor somethine more concrete. What he wanted to find out, he said, was whether any definite decision had been reached as to what each Dominion. could and should do M the way , of securing concerted action by all, Sir Robert replied that no spectal consideration was given to any matter at the kind. The deliberations were et a general character with regard to the conduct of the war, the task that had to be accomplished, and the best means of .fulfilling that task. & U.S. IS VVORRIED OVER RUSSIA Tail is Wagging the Dog There Just Now. Washington Hopes Root Will Clear Things. Washington Report, -R ussia has become the pre -occupying question at the State Department, with the ap- proach or the Russian mission to Washington, the beginning of nego- aations by the Ameriean commission to Russia in Petrograd, and the eou- tinued action of the Council or Sol- diers and Workmen's delegates de- manding a statement of Allied peace terms, In the shiftings in Russia from Jay to day, officials find trouble in ar- riving 'at the trend of the eituation, and are reagerie grasping at till Intel-- ratioRecent reports indicate that the Council of Soldiers' and Worknien's delegates is not so dominating a fac- tor as is generally assumed.

The peasants, according to these reports, •comprise the vast culority of the population, and have voted over- whelmingly in favor ot a vigeraus prosecution of the war. They have not as yet shown the slighcest seine pathy with the radicals. The one great turned to Canada, and just two days event for them has been the final es - before the Cabinet decided on immed- tablishment of Ioc.ai self-government, tate conscription. which they feel is directly due to the present leaders, and which they fear might' be lost by any change. Moreover, the business men of Rus- sia. it is pointed out, have re- cently voted practically unanimously, through what corresponds in Russia to the American Chamber of Cora- merce tor a vigorous prceecution of the war Nevertheless. , the continued insist- ence by the Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates for a new declaration by the Allies shows a lack of ccafidence or misunderatanding which, it is rea- lized, must be swept away before Rus- sia ean present a united front. Des- Pite the recent American. 13ritish and French announcements this has not as Yet bete done, and some means will be sought to reach the Russian redieal on hie own ground. Great hope is felt that the Rea mis- sion may find a way by its . peel:once on the sped.

According to this 'statement there were oa that date in England 126,- 241 officers and men, including 67,- 387 in the infantry reserve regi- ments, 1,855 cavalry, 4,209 engineers, 6,618 artillery, 2,535 machine gunners and 16,521 in tbe 5th Division. This •makes an aggregate of 99,125 In the combatant ranks, which, ac- cording to Sir Robert, are the ranks which will need the reinforeements of 70,000. It must be noted, of course, that casualties since that date have been heavy, but it also is to be noted that upwards of 15,000 more men have been sent to England since then. The statement subdivides the strength of each unit, according to eight categories, having regard to physical fitness,- conditions of train- ing, etc., from which .a further esti- mate eau be made as to the numbers immediately available for reinforce- ments. 84.000 AVAILABLE WITHIN YEAR, Under the first category, designated • as "A," there are three subdivisions; First, the men now fit for despatch to Franee; second, ,men who willbe Lit as soon as. trained; and third cas- ualties who s'hould be 'fit as soon as they are hardened. -All these may be considered as available reinforce-, ments to fill gaps from casualties. In class 1 of category "A" there Is a total of 26,350; in class 2 a testae of 26,927, and in class 3 a total at 5,147. Category "IV." includemen under nineteen years, who sbould be fit for class 1 ot category ".A." as soon as they reach the age limit The total of these- in the nine- teenth year is given as 3,086,while there are 383 under eighteen years at age.

Accordieg to the figures given'it weed appear, therefore, that the in- ternee reserves available taloa least 00,000. This conclusion preeupposes that since May 14 the troops sent over from Canada, totalling, as has been said, more than 15,000, have at least kept pace/ with 'casualties. In addition to this it must also be borne In mind that on June 1 there were 17,853 troops of all ranks in Canada. In the light of the tabulated state- ment presented to the House, Sir Ed- ward leentp's figures Of only 28,000 men avtdlable for reinforcing purposes, evidently requiree some eeplanation.

Ottawa Cable. --Tee Census and Statistic% Office has isstied a prelinlin- ary estimate of the areas sown to grain crops this springovith a report of their condition. on. May 31, as com- plied from the returne. of crop corre- spondents. The reports front the Prairie Provinces state thee the spring there is very backward, and seeding Is consequently late. At the end of May severe frosts cut down the grew - lug wheat plant; but rapid recovery was anticipated. Rain was needed for the germination 01 the later sown crops and of wheat sown on stubble. It is estimated from the reports of correspondents that the total area eown to wheat for 1917 is 13,450,530 acres as compared with 14,897,000 acres, the area sown. and with 12.- 900,600 acres. the area harvested in 1916. Thus, the lien, sown this year, whilst nearly 10 per cent. less than the area sawn for 1916. Is about four per cent. more than the area har- vested for 1916. In arriving at these figures revised returns of the census of 191e have been included tor Mani- toba; for Saskatchewan and Alberta similar revisions have not yet been ompleted. As compared with the area sown for 1916, the returns this year indicate small increases uncial wheat in each or the Atlantic ere- vinces, and in British Columbia and an increase of 25,000 acres in Quebec; but for each of the reMaining pro- vinces decreases are reported to the extent of 154,000 acres in Ontario, 254,000 acres in Manitoba, 927,000 acres in Saskatchewan and 158,000 acres in Alberta, The average condition on May 31s1 in per cent. of the standard represent- ing a full crop is Yor all wheat for Canada 84 per cent, as compared with 90 per cent. on May 31 last year, and with 91 per cent, the average condition on the corresponding date for the seven years ended 1916. 'The decrease in the area sown to wheat this year is partly due to the curtailment of the seeding season by the lateness of the spring, and efforts were therefore apparently directed to- wards an increase in the areas sown to other crops. For oats, the acreage is 11,781,900 acres, as compared with 11,370,346 acres, the (theft sown, and 9,875,346 acres, the area harvested last year.. Barley is sown to 1,954,- 000 acres, as against 1,827,780 acres, the area sown, and 1,681,180 acres, the area harvested in 1916. Rye has a sown area of 159,470 acres, as com- pared with 147,170 acres in 1916; peas, 152,465 acres, compared with 159,680 acres; mixed grains, 558,250 acres, as compared with 410,726 acres,: hay and clover, 7,661,800 acres, against 7,892,- 932 acres, and alfalfa 84,900 acres, against 89,472 acres. e TREACHERY BY GREEK COLONEL Fired On French, Who Took Heavy Revenge.

Tbe convention passed a resolution asking the Government for acreased giants to loeal pohltry as- aociationa, according to the member- ship and size of show. It Was also decided to petition the Government to continue with the work of organizing the resources of the country and to start earlier next year. Among the resolutiona wised was one urging the Dominion Government to locate, and it necessary, purchase for redistribu- tion such reasonably priced foods as are available in this and other pro- vinces for the adequate feeding ot poultry, an official to be appointed to take charge of the work and a bul- letin to be issued giving location and pricee of these supplies. The Do- minion and Provincial . Governments were urged to continue the campaign or increased poultry production and for having a proper etratern of resOydel of egg laying. It was resolved that the convention should be made an annual affair and it was also decided that the time is opportune for a Canadian convention leading up to the formation of a national Canadian poultry association.
