LAST WORDS OF JESUS WITH
HIS. DISCIPLES ..
Sunday, March 14—John 14 to 17
Golden Text:
I am the way, the truth and tl
life (John 14:6).
Four of the richest chapters of the
entire Bible are assigned as our les-
son this week, consisting of our
Lord's last words to His disciples be-
fore His death, and then His high -
priestly prayer of intercession (chap
ter 17.) Truth is revealed in these
chapters that had never before been
disclosed to men since the world be-
gan. This brief article will not at-
tempt to cover the four chapters,
but only that portion of the text as
signed for printing in the lesson
helps—verses 1-17 of chapter 14.
Have we realize:a tne connection
in which Christ spoke the words at
the beginning of this chapter, so
often quoted: "Let not your heart
be troubled: ye believe in God, be-
lieve also in Me-" Simon Peter had
just boastfully declared that, if nec-
essary, he would lay down his life
for his Lord, and Jesus had made
the startling prediction that that
very night, before cock -crow, Peter
would deny Him thrice. Then at
once our Lord says, "Let not your
heart be troubled: believe in Me."
What a ',lesson of comfort there is
in this for all of us who havesinned
grievously in failing our Lord! No
matter how heinous or blasphemous
the sin may have been, we hear the
Lord saying to us, "Be not troubled:
believe in Me." It is not that Christ
was minimizing or condoning the
blackness of Peter's sin, or of ours;
but He was magnifying the infinite
saving and cleansing power of ifis
grace, about to be manifested by the
shedding of His blood on Calvary as
the substitute of sinful Peter and of
all sinners. If we will but confess
our sin and trust Christ fully, as
Peter did later, we shall be cleansed
and restored and kept from sinning,
as Peter was.
Heaven is sometimes said to be,
not a place, but a state. There is
no such teaching in the Bible. Our
Lord tells His disciples that there
are "many mansaons" in His Fath-
er's house, that He is going to pre-
pare a place for those who believe
in Him, and that He is coming back
again to earth, soine time, to receive
His disciples unto Fifinself, so that
they may be where He is. The teach-
ing is very plain, and this is only one
of the more than three hundred pas-
sages throughout the New Testa-
ment that declare our Lord's second
coming.
Then Christ told them that they
knew where He was going and knew
the way, at which the doubting.
disciple, Thomas, objects that they
do not know mhere lie is going, and
how can they know the way? One
of the great verses in all Scripture
follows in the Lord's reply: "T am
the way, the truth, and the life: no
man coneeth unto the Father but by
Me." There is only 0110 way by
which any lost sinner can be sace
and get to Heaven, and that way is
by accepting Christ as His Saviour.
Another disciple makes another
request: "Lord, show us the Father,"
and brings out another marvellone
declarati ne from the Lord; "He that
hath, seen Me hath seen the Father."
Christ claims identity and equality
with God the Father, while at the
same time showing that there are
three persons in the Godhead, Ole
Ft:th the Son, and the Holy Spirit
--the Trinity. We cannot cOmpre-
hemi this, but we Can believe it, ler
we have Christ's word for it. Ifwe
would know God we must look mito
ZOSOS.
Now, Christ makes the surprising.'
declaration that those who believe
on Him should do the works that He
was doing, "and greater works than
these shall ye do; because I. go unto ,
My Father."
That, prophecy was fulfilled. f
While He woe. in. the flesh, before
His crucifixtion, the greater works
that Cheist caMe to Make petssible
eould not be done, for Hie redertip.
live work could not be consummated
except by' His death, resurrection,
aecension, and gift of the Holy Spir-
it. Then greater works than were
possibly during Christ's earthly life-
time 'could be brought to pass by
Christ Himself, working through His
Hedy, the Church. Men were em-
powered by the Holy Spirit, on and
after the Day of Pentecost, as they
could riot be in Christ's lifetime on
earth. Truth was revealed by the
Holy Spirit, in the completion of the
New Testament writings, through
inspired writers, which Christ said
He Himself could not give while He
was on earth. (John 16:12.)
He makes the great prayer prom-
ise to the Church: "And whatsoever
ye shall ask in my name, that will I
do." This promise is sharply condi-
tioned; the things asked must be in
Christ's name—that is, according to
His will; and the one who prays
must be wholly surrendered to tbe
Lord, and wholly trusting Him, by
abiding in Him. (John 15:7.) But
when one meets the conditions,
there is no limit to the wonders of
answered prayer.
The truth of the Trinity is plainly
taught in verses 16, 17, which men-
tion Christ, and the Father, and the
Comforter, or Spirit of truth. Chriat
promises to believers the priceless
gift of the Holy Spirit, to dwell in
them abidingly forever, a blessing
that the unsaved man does not and
cannot have until he recognizes his
need of a Saviour, and receives
Christ by faith; then he instantly
-receives forever, this great girt of
God's Spirit.-
Threshormen Ash Change
in Lien lava of Province
Toronto, March 4.—A delegatida
from the Ontario Threshermen's Ab-
sociation, headed by William Chap-
man of Penfield, President, 'waited
upon Hon. James S. Martin yester-
day to urge an amendment to the
liens act, which would give threshers
greater protection in collection of
money due them. Provisions exist
in the lien laws of the western pro-
vinces and of many states which as -
rare threshers of a prior claim 011011
proceeds of grain sold, if neceseaey,
and something along thie line is urg-
ed by the Ontario Association. it is
pointed out that threshers have no
moans of ascertaining what encum-
brances may lie against the crop
which they enable the farmer to
market, and it is also stated that
along the international border there
have been cases of renters who lett
the country after taking oy the crop
without paying for its threshing.
The minister promised sympathetie
consideration.
New Englander: "How do
you like our climate?"

/I?
Hon. Charles Dunning Recalls Time
When Faithful Beasts Drew Un-
conscious Immigrant Lad Back to
Settlement After Accident in
Zero Weather—Educated HiMself
in Winter Evenings
There was a time when Charles
A. Dunning, the new Minister of
Railways, was, more familial, with
:ncen than steam trains as a mode of
transportation. That was, of couree,
in tho days when he homestended in
the Springside district of Seek-
itchowan some 20 years ago, and be-
fore he became Premier of Sask-
atchewan, or even before he expect -
,d to become General Manager of
the Saskatchewan Co-operative Ele-
aator Company, Limited.
Saved by Oxen.
In those days the Minister of Rail-
ways used to haul his supplies from
OWIt on a etoneboat drawn by a.
yoke of oxen. While today he
naturally prefers travelling on the
steel highways, he yet preserves an
affection for the dumb beards that
served Iran in good stead \antra ne
was "hatching" -on the prairies; and
which, on one occasion, probably
_saved his life.
The embryonic Minister was at
the time engaged in cutting 0 sup-
ply of fuel in the woods some dis-
tance from his shack. A twig on tne
trunk of one of the trees that be
was tripping deflected the axe, caus-
ing the blade to bite deep into his
foot. The cut was a bad one, and
the below -zero weather made the
situation a dangerous one for young
Dunning. He tied up the wouna ea
best he could with a strip hastily
torn from his shirt, and he managed
to crawl to the bolsters. Faint with
loss of blood, he clung on while the
oxen started toward home. A -neigh-
bor saw that something was wrong
as the oxen drawly lumbered past his
place. Coining out to investigate,
he found the young homesteader
huddled on one of the bolsters with
his armaround a picket, in 0 aitate
of unconsciousness.
Born in England, Charlie came to
Canada ahead of his parents and
other members of the family when
he was but 17 years of age, and
went homesteading. When his par-
ents came out to settle in the same
district his mother went first to visit
her son. She found him ensconced
in a combination log and sod shack,
The principal furniture was a bare
deal table and a horse -made chair,
supplemented by a frying pan run
some granfieware (Helios. It looked
terribly crude to the mother just ou
from the Ohl Country, and she burst
into 'tears.
Charlie started to laneh. Not that
110 Was indifferent to his mother's
tears, but the humor of the situa-
tion appettled to him. Putting his
arm round his mother's shoulders,
he driedher tears. "Why," he de-
clared, "I have all 1 want to eat,
and," pointing to his straw pallet in
the corner, "I can get a good night's-
sleen. What mere does a fellow
want?"
Mr. Donning is a self-educated
num, He Hit school in England, when
10 was 11 years og age, and than
went to work as an office boy, later
becoming apprenticed in a foundry
in his home city of Leicester. Even
in those early days he was an avid
reader. He was not content with
reading, but tried his hand with iho
pen, with such success that: before
he was 17 years of age he submitted
an article to T. P. O'Connor, and
with it won a one -guinea prize,
Avid Reader.
In the Springside district young
Dunning found as neighbors a num-
ber of old Scottish settlers, nearly
all of whom were well equipped with
books, some of them of high literary
standard. In the long winter even-
ings with a dim, yellow -flamed oil
lamp making a feeble effort to pene-
trate the shadows of his shack, the
young homesteader pored over all
the books that he could borrow If rOM
the neighbors, and in this way he ac-
quired much of the good command
of the English language and general
knowledge which to -clay give zest
and point to his public utterances
and private conversation.
His fondness for books led Mr.
Dunning to build up a good library
when he left the farm to live In Re-
gina as the General Manager of the
Saskatchewan Co-operative Elevator
Co., Limited, destined to become,
largely as the result of the policies
which he instituted, the' largest grain
handling organization in the world.
But on June SO, 1912, the cyclone
that devastated Regina scattered the
library over many miles of adjoin-
ing country, and not a book was re-
covered.
Nothing daunted, Mr. Dunning
started again to build a library and
to -day Ile has one of the most useful
and interesting collections of vol-
uMes in the Province.

Tho Ordination of Cardinal Wolzey
— •
Four hundred and twenty eight
years ago, on the 10th March, 1498,
Thomas Wolsey was oraraned a
pried at the age of 23, the first step
in the wonderful career which in a
short time placed hien in a position
of greater power than had hitherto
been attained by any British sub-
ject,-
He was the last and the most meg-
Mil/tent of the many great - clerical
stateemen who figured so prominent-
ly 111 the poet hietory of- Britain, and
since his tine alt the ministers .of
the British Crown have been laymen,.
with the exception of Bishop Gare
diner in the login of Mary.
His father was a butcher, who
carried on business at Ipswich,
where lw acquired eonsiderable
wealth and an evil reputation by hie
numerous illegal practices, which in -
chided the selling of bad meat and
the giving otshort weight. •
Wolsey was Niue:at:id at Oxford
University, where he distinguished
himself by securing the degree el a
bacheloe of arts at the early age of
15, and two years later he became
a master at one of the colleges,
where he .had among his unpile the
sons of the Marquis of Domet, svlso
MO him his first clerical living
shortly after his ordination.
At the age of 32 he became chap-
lain to Henry VII, for whom he ex-
ecuted several diplomatic misaions
of an himortant nature, and two
years afterwatds he was appointed
Dean of Lincoln. A few weeks later
the king died, and Henry VIII gave' 1
Wolsey the position of almoner 1111-.1
tnediately after his accession. He
was the inseparable companion of
the yeung monarch, who made him a 1
privy councillor in 1511, which gave
him a eontrolling Yoke in the poet,

en years he was- gives by his royal
mwater the appointments oi Arch-
bishop of York and Chancellor,
while the Pope created him a cardin-
al and papal legate, which concen-
trated in his hands the supreme sec-
ular and religious control of the
kingdom. The whole direction of
home and foreign affairs rested with
him alone, and for eight years ne
governed without a parlianeent. He
amassed a great fortune, which he
expended with princely ostentation,
and the splendor of his court and
retinue rivalled those of the king.
As a diplomat he had no superior
and his vigorous pohcy, both at
home and abroad, made hien a dom-
inant factor in European politics.
Hie unsuccessful attempt to setinee
election to the papal throne was tne
first real failum in his career, and
although his influence abroad grad-
ually swelled he remained all-power-
ful in England until he was ordered
by the king to get him a divorce

He was stripped of his wealth and
honors and ordered to retire to his
archbishopric of York, the one dig-
nity he was permitted to retain. His
great popularity in the north of
England alarmed his political rivals,
who caused him to be arrested on a
charge of treason, which was entire-
ly without foundation. During his
journey to London to face his trial
Iso was taken sick, and died at Lei-
cester Abbey on the 30th March,
1530, at the ago of 65.

The Neglected Rural Cemeteries
•
Huron County Council would do
well to follow the:example of the
County Council of Bruce xnd take
steps to compile a report on the
number, location and condition of
all the cemeteries of the county.
Under the amendments to the. Cern-
etery Act in 1924 the County Coun-
cil is empowered to appoint one or
more inspectors to inspect the cern-
eteries in the County to see that
they are properly. maintained and
that the owners covey out the pro-
visions of the Act, and such inspec-
tors are required to report to the
Provincial Board of health. Any
steps towards improving the neglect-
ed appearance. of these "cities of the
dead" would be but a tardy recog-
nition of our appreciation of the
courage ei and perseverance of the
early pioneers who entered the tact-
less wilderness and faced the her-
culean task of removing the great
forests and clearing the land ahd
making Ontario one of the most fav-
ored spots on earth, and Huron a
county of which we are justly proud.

engine warm and, what is more lin-
p'ortant, permits of easy starting,

Beauty Hints
The hood should be the first part
of the car to dry with the chamois
when bringing the ear in out of the
wet. It helps to make a good job of
the windows if the dome light is
turned on. Rub the body of the, car
with the chamois gently and as ,let-
tle as possible. Rock the car a few
times before starting to work in or-
der to obviate having water clrip ofl
the top when the body is dry. Use
two chamois, one for the windews
and upper body and one for the fen-
ders, bumpers, wheels and aprons.
New Rings For Worn Cylinders
Oversized rings cannot he fitted
'successfully in old and worn cylin-
ders. The ends of the cylinders are
practically round and unworn, as '
there is a short distance where the
piston does not travel. New rings,
to be fitted to the cylinders, must be
made small enough to pass by these
unworn distances, and consequently
fit loosely when they reach the worn
part of the cylinders. Likewise
cylinders badly worn are usually
oval, in which rings cannot bet fitted.
Attention To Vent Pipe
In filling the radiator of the eer
allow enough water to pass in to
bring the level over the end of the
vont pipe. If this pipe is clear, as it
always should be, the fact will be
indicated by the overflowing of the
water through the vent cap, which
should be attended to at once.
Winter Wisdom
When the car comes in out of the
cold and the glass windows sudden-
ly cover with mist, do not make the
mistake of deciding that it's a good
time to rub dry the glass, cleaning -
it simultaneously. Use water for
that job. The mist may give enough
moisture, but keep in mind that
when. rubbing, a lot of gritty duet is
also rubbed in, which should be gen-
tly washed .off at first.
The Noisy Speedometer
If the dial of the speeaometer vie -
rates the instrument will not in-
dicate correct sifeed. A noisy speed-
ometer may be due to any one of the
following causes: A loose union be-
tween the speedometer and the ilea-
ifle shaft connection or between the
driving shaft and the flexible shaft.
Sometimes the flexible shaft is bent
at too sharp an angle, causing it to
bind. Or it may not be well lubri-
ated, causing an erratic movement.
