There was a footerath acrose the ra- vine, much ehorter than the main roa(l, by which the disciples may bare gone. Ye shall find a colt tied -Jesus manifeeted euperhuman knowledge In telling his disciples with exactnese what they were to find in the Nillage. In Matthew's account mention is made of the fact that the mother of the colt was there also. "In the East the ass is in high esteem. Statelier, livelier, swifter than with ns, it vies with the borne in favor."-Geikle. The horse was used by warriors, but the ass w as 'considered a symbol of peace. Where- on never .man sat -For this reason it was fitting, that the colt should be used by our Lord, for unused animals were considered sacred. (Num. 19: 2. Deut. 21: 3; 1 Sam, 6! 7.) 3. Why do ye thie-lt would bemost natural for the owner of the animal or his friends to ask this question of those who were leading it awav, apparently without right or permiesion. The Lord hath need of him -This was to be a suffici- ent answer to the question. It must have been known that Tesus was ap- proaching the saered city and would enter it, and consent would readily be given for him to use the colt for that purpose. It has been suggestea that the owner of the colt may have been a disciple of Jesus, but there is no evi- denee that he was. Straightway he 'will send him hither -"Straightway he will send him back hither." -Tl. V. Two explanations are offered here. 1. The owner of tho colt would at once Permit the disciples to take it. 2. Per- mission would be given, because the disciples promised that the colt would be immediately returned to the owner. 4. Where two ways met -The orig- inal word means "a way around." "Observe the minuteness of the cir- cumstances specified. The apostles would find the colt tied; it had never been ridden; it would be found, not in- the court -yard, but outside, at the door of the noose; and persons would be near it, and the words which they Mild el/eels are predicted, And the answer la suggested which the apos- tles were to Make."-Maelear. They loose him -Jesus had given them au- thority to take the colt. 5. Certain of them -The owners were among those who were present (Luke 19; 23). What do ye -The question was Asked as predicted. 6. They let them go - The owners were convinced that it was well. It le most important that we let Jesus have our property, our talents, our time, ourselves. He malteg no demand that: is unreason- able. What we give to Jesus is saved and multiplied. Nothing is to good to dedicate to Him. II. Christ honored (vs. 7-10). 7. Cast their garments on him -It was doing honor to Jesgs for the dis- ciples to spread their outer garments upon the colt that He might use them instead of a saddle. When .Tehti was proclaimed king of Israel, the captains "took every man his ear - Meet, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trum- pets, saying, Jetta is king." (2 KiAgs 0-13). Aa aaimel, which was Ite be . ridden by royal personages, was cov- ered with rich cloth.

He came as a King, but he came in hu- mility amid the acelaims Of his fol- lowers and of those who accepted his Kingship'. He had all the elements of kingliness. He was noble, power- ful, wise, just, compassionate, ready to serve and fitted to rule,but *without the ostentation that is usually dis- pigyed by royalty. 8. And many - Multitudes were present • (Matt.. 21:9), It is said that in Nero's time a census was taken of the number of .Jews at A Passover, and there were found to be 2,700,000. Multitudes were follow- ing Jesus and multitudes front the city went forth to meet him (John 12; 12, 13). Spread their garments in the way -The multitudes did this as an net of homage. They spread their outer garments upon the ground that Jesus might ride over them. "To cele- brate he Arrival of some great hero by spreading carpets, or still more then* garments, was a Greek and Ro- man custom, and is so natural as to be in use in modern times even in Christian countries."-Whedon. It was customary, in royal processions, to spread deeorative cloth or earpet upon the ground, that the feet of roy- alty might not be defiled or that dust might not arise. -Morison. Branches -While a part of the multitude spread garment; in the way, others were cut- ting branchee from trees and strew- ing them in the road over which Jesus was to pass. John makes men- tion particularly of palm branches, as being used to do honor to Jesus. StreeV•- e d-eteattered. steeWn. 0.

Topic -Prophecy reechoed. • I. Proclaiming Christ as King. H. -Revealing a spiritual kingdom. Proclaiming Christ as King, The whole multitude of Christ's disciples were filled with joyous exultation. All sorrow for the time was swallowed up in the aboundipg blemeedness. So ir- ritated were the Pherieees that they urged Jesus to rebuke thera for crying out as they did. Those who cried, "Hosanna,," were those wile had wit- nessed the wonderfel works c Jesue In. their own cities and villages and who had come to Jerusalem to observe the Passover. Their joy made it clear to the officials of Jerusalem. that Jesus eiallaed to be the Meg/dale It re- mained for them to Accept or rejeet him. The crowd accorded Him a most cordial welcome. They appeeled to heaven itself to give sanction, and to the heavenly hosts to join in their ex- ultation that heaven and earth might be in perfect unison In the acknow- ledgment of Christ as King. The dis- ciples gladly accepted and sustained the greetings of the multitude and fondly they hoped that a triumphant issue was at hand, but Jesus' purpose was high as the heavens above their hopes. He claimed to fulfil Old Testa- ment prophecy and to be that Person who was to come and to bring to earth everything which the love of God could bestow. That coming to Jerusa- lem as Messiah the Ring was the be- ginning of the great series of events which the redemption of the - world wrought The gladness of the' scene was in strange contrast to its sequel. The day was memorable for its sur- prises and reversals of judgment. The 'earthly view eg the Messiah's king- dom was universal. The hopes and visions of the disciples were doomed to nisappoiatment. The fears and hat- red of the Pnarieees and rater§ were Surprised and reversed when Jesus • made no attempt at temporal power. Ho well knew what was to be qie is- sue of his last viesit to Jerusalem. The occasion was well chosen and brings to view Christ's independence of all human standards. The attraction of the proccession did not lie in the ac- cessories, but in the central figure. True royalty needed not the symbols oe Authority. Jesus entered the city in the royalty of reeekeess, IA humble state as the Prince of peace. He* 'ad- vanced to His metropolis in the name of the Lord, as the One to whom the throne belonged by divine apPoint- ment II. Revealing a spiritual kingdom. When the people were thiaking of a transitory political revolution, Jesus was laying broad and deep the foun- dations of a spiritual, universal, ever- lasting kingdom of God. 'Ascending .to Jerusalem meant to him to go on to martyrdom, to that wondrous re- deeming death, the triumph of self- sacrificing love. Jesus knew that to be the Ring and Deliverer of a people downtrodden with sin, he must die for them. That was the culminating point of his career, which not only concluded, but crowned his course. Christ was King, but his royalty was misunderstood during his ministry upon earth. He was a spiritual King of an unwordlei, but univereal and4un- ending kingdom. The whole character of the procession tended to set aside all vain Messianic hopes. ThAt very simple and passing regal state was only an emblem of that spiritual sov- ereignty which, was immeasurably higher and more to be desired than earthly greatness. Jerusalem had been the scene of his ministry. It was to be the scene of his martyrdom and sacrifice where lie was to share the fete of the prophets. Jesus was over- come by grief at the thought of what Jerusalem !night have been before God and man. He was stricken with grief at the presence of she. His was the cry of agony over the lost, As Ring over a spiritual kingdom he sought tbe place of prayer, the most appropriate in which to realize the presence of God, only to find it turn- ed into a place of traffic. His survey of the temple was a sign of authority, an exercise of judgment, an expres- sion of grief and disappointment and a token of forbearing mercy. Regarth less of the profanation of the saered plate Jesus healed the sick, taught the people and received the adOration of the children. To him children rep- resented simple, guillelese, unprejude iced souls wbo raised no barriers against his teaching or Against the gracious influene.es which he exerted among the people.---T,11.,A.

Regina,/ Sask., Report -"We can't hope, taking the province as a whole, that the wheat yield in. Saskatchewan will be more than 14 bushels to the acre," declared Hon. George Langley, Minister of Municipal Affairs, when 'questioned on the crop outlook, "The weather will still be a considerable factor as a break in the hot spell, and a week or twa of cool, dull weather will Considerably increase the yield." "There is every likelihood of an early harvest, and the grain sample will probably be a good one. Oats and barley areelight, and it is possible that dot more than one-half an aver- age crop of these grains will be har- vested. Some compensation is likely to be realized,. however, hi the prices of coarser grain, as the amount for (Mort will undoubtedly be small. The need for harvesters from outside Points will, I coaelder, be very lim- limitecl, the uneMployed men in our tome's laid cities being probably -quite as good harvesters as any, that We could hope to get from the east, and the Government Is Inlay itself moving faxinets from districts where there is a crop failure to ether districts where Men will be required."

Bancroft, Ont., July 26. --The whole business area, of the town of Bancroft was practically wiped out by fire to- night. The destructive blaze, fanned by a strong wind, played serious havoc. Nine buildings, including the hotel and postofrice, were totally destroyedeand a loss approximating $75,000 was en- tailed. The buildings and stores Sffectect by the fire are as follows: Bancroft Hotel, lienjamine's dry goods store, Reid kf,. Thompson's general store, Willing's bakery; Walter Vandervort, barber; Sair ez Mullett, handware store; Thos. French, grocery Store, .and the rost- office. All the structures, with the ex- ception of the hotel, which was built of brick, consisted entirely of wood. Shortly after 6 O'clock the village baker, Mr. Willing, was preparing his first batch of bread, when fire brok0 out somewhere near the °vet, and immediately began to .spread. Before the volnnteer fire brigade could be 'brought to the scene the bakery was demolished and the flutes- were reach- ing down Bridge street. Soon the whole of the inhabitants or the district were fighting the flames, but with little tinceess. Salvage operations were then Commenced, and. much property V.as saved, The fire was finally controllea by the fire-fighters some two hour; after its commeneement. No injuries were. sustained. Inserance to the extent of $50,000 is said to be held by the •ovhtl. ere of the properties destroyed.

At recent conventions the subject of tuberculosis ne, our herds has been frequently mentioned, and reliable au- thorities stateethat the herds of Que- bsc are seriously effected. It may well be that the real condition is exagger- ated not from any desire to do halm to our herds, but on the general prin- ciple that the presence or tuberculosis in a herd is a serious matter, no; only for the affected herd, but for the come ennity as well. 'But the real practical question 'Is: "How are we to deal with tuberculoeis ,n a herd?" • Seine are of the opinion that the Dominion Department of Agriculture should take the matter in hand, pass a law permitting the destruction of tu.borculous animals, and by every means within its power put a etop to the spread of the disease. Others on the other hand, maintain that the best means of controlling Levine tubercu- losis is to educate the owners of the cattle so that they understand the nature of the disease, the importance, of isolation and the value of sanitary stables. The Government should make, free of charge, the tuerculin test and should advise the oweters now best to deal with a herd where some of the animals react to the test. We are of the opinion that if the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture were to as- sume charge of the 'campaign, the costs. where compernation is elicited, would soon run up into an enormous sum. Moreover, tbe edneative feature by this method would be largely elim- inated, and without tbis feature there is every likelihood that sooner or later there would be a recurrence of the disease -on account of ignorance of the fundamental facts of animal liv- ing. Tuberculosis, it is true, is sometimes introduced into a herd•where the owner is careful as to the health of his animals, but the differenCe bstween the results of this man and Of the ig- norant careless owner lies in the way each goes about eradication. The former Isolates 1119 tuerculosis ani- mals from the other Members of the herd, and by eanitary methods builde up the affected animals to health. The latter shows conditions to continue and no attention is given to the im- provement of the sanitary condltions in which the animals are kept. As a result of this line of treatment most if the herd contracted -the disettee. Too little heed has hitherto been given to the stable as a place where animals live for six months in the year. Many well-known fundamental principles have been constantly violet - ed by most framers. A stable ehould be warm (about 60 deg, Tee, dry, clean, well ventilated and well lighted. The greatest &feet of most stables is the lack or proper ventilation and light- hig. In feet, it is a wonder how ani- mals live uoder the stifling conditions to which they tre sometimes exposed. A writer has raid: "We can -live five weeks without foo(l, for five days without water, but only five minutes without air." A ventilated stable is one in whit+ there is a constant ex- change of air ,of fresh air for foul) without drafts. fin open door or whi- tlow does not provide sufficient venti- lation. it is true there is natio ex- change of air, but there is not enough of it. Exeellent systems of ventilation for stables have been devised, and where these are installed the ltecilth of the cattle is excellent.
