BYRON IL STAUFFER Paator Bond Str.$ Congregational (.hunch, Toren* "A COLT WANTED" Text; "And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him." --Luke 19;43,34. Even this seemed fitting—this goine into a yard and untieing a colt, and the owners rushing up excitedly 'ant challenging the intruders with, "Why loose ye the colt?" and the calm an ower, "The Lord hath need of him," 1 and the willing yielding tersely ex- pressed by the Gospel writer's words, "And they let him go." Christ, King of Glory, must ride into Isis capital city of Jerusalem, and He needs a steed. He has walked long enough, He must ride to -day. Is He to tired? No, not so tired, but He is King to -day. For three years He has been Jesus the servant. I -le is Christ the King to -day. He has been a great walker. His feet have carried Him on long errands f love. As the Son of Man, he walked; as the Great Sacrifice, He was led; as the Son of David, He rode into Jerusalem; as the Prince of Heaven, He rode to Glory, with a cloud for His chariot: His steed was the foal of an ass, the emblem of peaceful authority. The ass was the steed of Solomon in an- cient Israel, and of Louis XIV. in modern France. The colt was .yon- der, awaiting His bidding. All that was necessar, to do was to send over the messengers to bring him, then to mount him and to ride into Jeruaalem in triumph. The incident yields 'tself to our present purpose to speak of the needs of our Lord, of his regal appropria- tion of material things, and of the REVEREND BYRON H. STAUFFER willing surrender of the steed by its owners. ,Our.. Saviour had needs; not the personal requirements of food and clothing, but the needs of a king. Has a king needs? Yes, a king needs men, materials, . money, ships,, terri- tory. On earth our King had needs, regal needs. He needed bread where- with . to feed ,the host. He needed homes • in which to teach, money to use , as object lessons, ships from which to still waves, boats from which to preach sermons. Aye, He needed a stable in which to be born, an upper room in which to break bread; a gar- den .in which to weep; a cross on which to die; a tomb from which to ripe; a cloud on which to. ride! Our Saviour has needs. To -day, yesterday, every day from Pentecost to now He has had needs, Witnesses He has always required. Kings and beggars, preachers and soldiers, judges and legislators, armies and navies, printing shops and railways, telegraphs and telephones—all these he has used as' steeds on which to ride into cities, '' across continents, over seas, into minds and hearts. He rides upon the modest talents of men. This poor little colt might have been used for baser' purposes, tarrying oppressing publicans or snivelling pharisees. But it was loaned to the Lord! How small a gift Ile can use! The little qualifications ;which we are apt to overlook, He can employ for great and lasting good. ' i Take that. talent of singing, for ine' stance. It can be made a cornmeal ictal commodity, so many songs for ho much money. Or it can be made laft evangel. Walk down any Toronto treet on a Sunday afternoon and heap tho folks in parlors sing the popular 'gospel hymns, and you will know that there is an abundance of talent butside of choir and soloist circles. Christ needs these voices to sing he hospitals and .prisons and sick -rooms. According to the word of an under, taker, the comfort of Christian song is badly needed at funerals in the ?tomes of the poor. The Lord hatl>r nerd of voices. They are steeds upon which He. can ride into hearts. vocal teacher of some faire had mo sit in an adjoining room while a stars pupil sang a selection.

But if I plead ;with you to lend a hand in getting out my furniture because my home la afire and all will be lost before :the firemen arrive, you have no right to refuse! If I stop you in your auto- mobile and ask you to carry me out to my house for no particular reason :except that I want an auto ride, you are justified in riding on without rt le. 'But one evening a few of us hailed a passing touring car owner to re- quest that he carry home a woman who had just had her hip broken in a trolley accident. The man hummed 'and hawed and' said his ladies would ;be disappointed. It needed the vigor- ous exhortation of an indignant by- istander of six feet in height and three hundred avoirdupois to convince that automobilist that the Lord had ;need of him. For, let me say that at was really and truly the Lord had meed of him that evening. His ear belonged to the King that night. It :would have been high treason to re- fuSe'the use of his gasoline donkey! Christian, when you became a dis- clple, you covenanted to give the King your all. He comes now, through His ;ambassador, to say: "I want the use ;of your colt." As the agent of the 'King, I say to you now, "The Lord hath need of thee." n Sinner, He 'has a right to your colt, too, for is He not on an errand for your good? Suppose the owner had 'quibbled, could not the Saviour have 'said: "I go to lay down my life for :you; can you not give even an hour's •use of your steed?" I rejoice at the incident's ending: "And they let them go." Without ,parley, they willingly yielded. The 'events of the day come rushing on anti the ase and his owners are lost in the perspective of the picture. Un- doubtedly the animal wits returned. Very likely, as in the ease of the - Toronto gentleman whose horse was ridden by Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, that steed was pointed out for years as the bearer of the Lord! It was the one thing worth telling about the little colt. The only thing that -will be worth telling of you and me' will be that we carried the King's •message! It fills me with awe to think that the Master knows what I have. He ',mew the colt was there. "Ye will i8nd a colt there." He knows what I pgseese, He knows! He never un- :derestlmates My worth. He never :overestimates my talents, He knows, 'Mid I cannot cheat Him. It awakens my self-respect to know that He can use me. I am a better ;man for that.

PlL..irAL'S STORIES. 11..1•101•1•04, Some Amusing Adventures Belated by Lord Beresfords Admiral Lord Charlet) Beresford tells many amusing tales of his early lite at ea in the opening chapters of autobiograpbY which- appears in the September number of Nash's Mag- azlne. Speaking of his adventures aboard th Britannia, he says: "I was raised to the rank of captain in the Britannia, but 1 regret to say that my enjoyment of that dignity was sin- gelarly brief, for 1 was die tted upnr t' e same day, even before 1 had time to put on the stripe. For my delight at my premed() so exhilarated me that 1 forgot to resist the temptation to empty a bread -barge upon the head. of tbe old Master -at -Arms as he was coming up the hatchway, and the spectacle was so amusing that I stay- ed tayed to iaugll at it.. Captain Houston Stewart used to fish from the stern gallery when the _ship was an anchor. He tied his line '- the rail and went back into, his cabin, returning every few minutes to see if he had a fish. Beneath the stern gallery opened the ports of the gunroom. With a hooked stick I drew in his line, attached a Yarmouth bloater to the hook, dropped it in again, whenthe g and h captain came to feel his line I jerked it. -He hauled t up in a hurry, to find a red herring on the end. He instantly sent for all the midshipmen, and, for some rea- son or other, he picked me out at once. "You did that, Beresford," he said. "Most impertinent. Your leave willbe stopped." Next day, however, h 3 let me oft. When we lay in Corfu harbor, and my leave was stopped—which did oc- cur occasionally—I had a system by means of which I went ashore al night. I tied a hammock -lashing round the stern post, crawled out of tbe stern port, lowered myself to the water, and swam to a shore boat wait- ing for mo by arra'tgement. Maltese boats are partly covered in, and I dressed in a spare suit of clethes. On one occasion I nearly, but not quite, ran into the arms of the commander. One of the closest escapes I have ever had occurred aloft in the Marl- borough. Being midshipman of the mizzen -royal, I was furling the sail, leaning forward upon the yard gathering in the canvas, my feet braced 1 ackward upon the foot -rope, when another midshipman, leaping upon the foot -rope, accidentally knocked it from under my feet. lot. two or three seconds I hung by the tips of my fingers, which were pressed against the jackstay (the rope run- ning taut along the top of the yard to which the sail Is bent), under which 1 could not push my fingers, and then, at the last moment, I found the foot -rope again. On March 28, 1861, I was appoint- ed naval cadet in the Marlborough. As I climbed up her sido by the hand- rt:ngs, while my chest was being hoisted in over -a11, I perceived two huge men looking down upon me, and 1 beard one say to the other, "That white-faced little beggar ain't long for this .world, Dick." The speak- er was John Glanvill, boatswain', mate, and he addressed this lugub- ri- us remark to Dicky Horne, the quartermaster, a very fat man. It was far from encouraging welcome to C - sea, but the fact was that I had been ill, and was feeling very cold as 1 climbed ap the side of the ship. At first I was much disappointed at hav- ing been sent to a large ship, for we :-oungsters had a notion that there were more freedom and independence in a small ship; and, s, I want - beside ' to go to China. But I went to Chi- na all in good time. V _ r RICHT S1t'L FOR ALFALFA. Deep Loam Is t3est, fiat Other Kinds Will Produce Crops.

HISTORY FOR I't1.IRIO CLASSES - Head by Misr. Lillian Clark before the West Huron Teachers' Associ- ation to Goderich, April 30th, pre pared by Mise A. V. Dorranoe and Mies Clark of St. Helens, Published by request of the West Huron Teachere' Ateroolation. Perhaps no subj.+et on our curric- ulum so requiree the lecture meths d as dues history, and yet.1 fear that we, ea t, xellrrn, µre ltl+, p 1.0 hear • or. own voice.. and Iell too tuueb, i1 forget that by comparisons and con- trusts, of different periods and char. acters even our junior pupils can draw corset conclusions and inferences. The work as prescribed by the Edu- cation department for third Clause comprises the most important events of British and Canadian History, the important current events, the ele- ments of Ontario's civil government and the duties of citizenship. With beginners in History the Oral Method will have to be followed in form three, the use of the tett hook should be gradually introduced, 11. -re the story should be told in sections, and when one section has been told and reviewed by questioning a brief summary should be placed on th. blackboard. The headings should be suggested, sometimes by the teacher and sometimes by the pupils. In the narration of the story, the teacher should frequently use the de- velopment method by asking problem questions, i e. questions which require a consideration of conditions. The conditions necessary to the an- swering of the questions are clearly and vividly planed before the pupils as in a problem in arithmetic, and they are required to state what they think will be the result. The -answer,, even if wrong, will give the' pupil an exer- cise in judgment, and will show him wherein bis judgment differs from that of the persons concerned and will in- crease his interest in their actions. and will impress the events on his memory. When all the pointe of the story have been narrated, and develop- ed, one or more pupils may he asked to reproduce it using the teacher'. sketches or illustrations. If the r -- production is satisfactory and shr.w that the pupils have grasped the im- portant parts of the story, they mer be asked for desk or home work re read another version, of the nettle story in some hook or mag..zine named by the pupils. or the text hn,.k of Form IV may be borrowed and t h. story read in school. During, thi, reading, the summary may be left oe the black -board, or copied neatly into the pupils note books. This special note book has the advantage of being the pupils' own work in the class, is e, record of what he bas already decided to be important pointe, is arranged in the order in which the subject has been treated, and is superior to thei note books sometimes used as aide or helps. For the proper teaching of history the latter are hindrances rather than helps because they rob tbe pupil of the profit gained, by doing work for himself. However, the teacher wit: requires to keep a close oversight on tbese note books. No careless work abould be accepted, and no absentees allowed to leave blanks for the class's - missed. - Spee-ial review lessons should 0. taken when a l.eriee of leesone hr besn.fiuished,.or when a series of c.•. - neeted topics has t'ieen completed.

The review gives an opportunitx for drill on dates, None of us would care to. go back to the old method 01 using dates, like pegs, which to bang all important events, neither is it wise to neglect teaching dates entire. ly. A child of nine or ten has ra- ther vague notions, of time distance and to tell him that the Peace of Paris was signed in 1703 may mot have much real meaning for him 'Nevertheless, he should be thoroughl) drillecL on important dates and 1. after years he will he able to real.z more clearly the time spaces they represent A review by dates ie s uf.eful seat exercise and while i would becotne too mechanical if used too often, still even in such a 800 jeer, as History, a mechanical drtlt hes its place. It must be remembered in the Ret• view lessons that it is not, a mere repetition, we seek, but a review of the Note, a new view that will prove the power, of the pupils to use the knowledge they have gained. Suet, reviews, nim at seeing new r latlere, at connecting new and old laiewlertgee, at giving fre8bneee and vivi?rano to knowledge, that troy ►e si•,mt.ohet folded at throwing a nnrnte-r t•t tlir- crete facto, into a bird's rye -view, History Is very closely o •r*el Ater; vrith tunny other subjects.

History may also be correlated with Science, Constructive work and Art. • In the teaching of current events much time can be saved in ungraded schools, by teaching the whole school at one time. A very suitable time is immediately after the opening exer- cise, in the morning, or immediately afternoon These lessons if properly conducted, are looked forward to with .treat interest, and each child wilt endeavor to bring in as much in- ferru..srion as pessibie. In the lesson the children should do most of the telling, being guided by the teacher, in placing the proper emphasis on he importance of these events. • The work in civics should be chief• tv incidental. It might take the place f the current events period when- ever a topic is suggested by happen - tote within the experience of the •-gild. The eetablibhment of a new Rum!
