Sunday School Lesson
BY CHARLES G. TRUMBULL
(editor of Tho Sunday School Times)
JESUS DIES AND RISES FROM
THE DEAD
Sunday, IVIarch 21.-3elin 18; 1 to
20:23.
Golden Text:
Therefore doth My Father love
Me, because I lay down My life, that
I may take it again. (John 10:17.)
Let us be sure that nothing teek
the Lord Jesus by surprise. His en-
emies now came to arrest HMI tina
put Him to death; and He, "know-
ing all things that should come upon
Him,'- went to meet them. The fore-
knowledge and predetermined Pur-
pose of the Father and the Son dem-
inate this history. Prophecy shines
through the utirrative like the light
of the noonday sun, We hear the
words of Peter's great sermon, de-
livered later, that Chrleis "being .1. -
livered by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God, ye hate
taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and 81ain." (Acts, 2:23.)
Christ denied hhnself to save
others. Peter denied Christ to ,ave
himself. There are God and man
at their best and their worst. Christ's
denial of Himself floode the whole
narrative with sacrificial, redemptive
glory, and comes out in His words,
"The cup which My Father hath giv-
en Me, shall I not drink it?" Peter's
denial of his Lord is repeated three
times. Yet Chriet's self-denial
wrought such a great salvation that
Peter's threefold sin could be for-
given, and Peter was fully restored.
Throughout these lesson chapters
Christ is put into the position of e
culprit, a criminal, a malefactor, a
transgressor, a sinner. He was none
of these, but voluntarily submitted
to the classification, and fulfilled Old
Testament prophecy and the purpose
of God in working out salvation for
real sinners. Jesus was led • away,
bound to the high priest, was struck
physically during His cross-euamina-
tion, was brought before Pilate as 11
malefactor, was publicly rated .
lower criminal than the murderer
Barabbas, was scourged, struck in
the face, spat upon, and mocked in
the utmost contempt. This is just
what the Old Testament predicted,
and Isaiah 53 should be real with
this lesson, telling how Christ was
to be "numbered with the transgres-
sors," and was to bear the sin of
many. Cheist, the Son of God, eves
identified with sinners, and was re-
ceiving in His own person God's nec-
essary wrath against sin (in His
death on the cross), in order that
we sinners might escape that wrath.
The wonder of the substitutionary
atonement is the heart of this les-
son, and is set forth later in the Ne.w
Testament, "For He hath made Him
to be sin for us, Who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteous-
ness of God in Him." (2 Cor. 5:21.)
There was more than the mere
cruel pain in forcing the crown of
thorns on the Lord's head. It must
have been symbolical of His bearing
the curse of sin; for -when 'God pro-
nounced judgment on the first Adam
because of the fall that wrecked the
human race, God said: "Cursed is
the ground for thy sake;... .thorn
also tad thistles shall it bring forth
to thee." (Gen. 3:17, 18). And
now Christ, "the last Adam," was
paying the penalty of the sin of "the
first man Adam."
We should read the twenty-second
Psalm as we read the Gospel ac-
counts of Christ's crucifiction, That
Psalm was given to David a thous-
and years before Christ's earthly
life, when the Jews knew nothing of
crucifiction as a method of execu-
tion. Yet the Psalm describes, in
particularized detail, the physical
sufferings of a man during crucifies
ton, and is filled with prophecies of
our Lord's Calvary experiences. It
opens with His cry on the cross, "My
God, My God, why hest Thou for.
saken Me?"
Chriet did not lose His life; Ile
gave it away. He did not die 4'0171
weakness and exhaustion; He died
by His own purposeful will -power,
in possession of His faculties and
etrength. Sinful men, and Satan
were carrying out their own hellish
purposes; but back of them, permit-
ting it all, God. was carrying out His
purpose for the vederription of the
world. When all had been finished.

Engineer for District
George Downey Will Look AP-er
Good Roads in Huron, Perth
and Oxford
(Stratford EkEteoll, Saturday:
Under the plan of reerganizatioe
of provincial highways achninistra-
tiou, as announced yesterday in Tor-
onto by Hon. George S. Henry, Min-
ister of Highways, George Downey,
eeeklent engineer here, will be re.
wined in that position.
The present chief emeineer, R. aI.
Smith, continues in that capacity and
the position of assistant thief is cre-
ated. That will be filled by A. A.
Smith, who has been divisional en-
gineer at Kingston.
In view of the present provincial
mileage and the annual completion
of practically 200 miles of pavement.
it is considered that the number of
miles of highway, under each resi-
dent engineer, should not be decreee-
ed, but rather increased, mad doing
away with the three divisional en-
gineers' offices will have the effect
of throwing a little more responsi-
bility on the resident engineers.
"We had during the past two
years," Hon. Mr. Henry explained,
"an organization of a chief engineer
a location and property engineer U17 -
der him and then three divisional
engineers, resident at Kingston, Tor-
onto and London. Each of these
had three resident engineers under
his direction. We are reorganizing
the service and making some shifts
in personnel. We are doing away
with divisional engineers and ap-
pointing an assistant chief and a
new location and property engineer
as well. This will mean that the div-
isional offices will be abolished and
the resident engineers will work
directly under the thief engineer
and his assistant."
leollowLng is th list of resident en-
gineers as reorganized:

Come with the shamrocks end springtime,

Little we thought of the rush of the star.

Riding the white waves that fair summer

between us,
Like a grey curtain the rain falling
down,
Hid from my sad eyes the path o'er the

Far, far away where my Coleen had
flown.

Watch o'er my .bird in the land far

And it's my pray'rs will consign to their

Care o' my jewel by night and day,
When by the fireside I watch the bright
embers,
Then my heart flies to England and
thee,
Cravin' to know if my darlin' rereembers,
Or if her thoughts may ,be oressin' to

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER
'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem
Since' the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou, with them.
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the gartien
Lie scentleSs and dead.
So soon May I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle -
The gem drops away,
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT
Oft in the stilly night, 'ere slumber's
chain has bound me,
Fond mem'ry brings the light of other
days around me;
The smile, the tears, of childhood's years,
Th.e words of love then spoken,
The eyes that shone now dimmel and
gone,
The cheerful heart now broken!
Thus in the stilly night,
'Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Sad mem'ry brings the light
Of other days around me,
When I remember all the friends so 1111101
together,
I've seen around me fall, like leaves in
wintry weather;
I feel like one whO treads alone,
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled, whose garlands dead
And all but he departed!
The Harp That Once Through
Tara's Halls
The harp that once thro' Tara's halls,
The soul of music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As if that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former clays,
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts that once beat high for praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more the chiefs and ladies bright,
The harp of Tara's swells;
The chord alone, that breaks at night,
It's tale of ruin tells.
Thus freedom now so seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives,
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.
KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN
Kathleen Mavourneen! the gray dawn is
breaking, •
The horn of the hunter is heard on the
hill,
The lark from her light wing the bright
dew is shaking,
Kathleen Mavourneen, what slumbering
still?
Oh, hast thou forgotten how soon we must
sever?
Oh hast thou forgotten this day we -must
part,
It may be for years, ancl it may be for-
ever,
Oh! why art thou silent, thou voice of
my heart?
It may be for years, and it may be for-
ever,
Then why art thou silent Kathleen
Mavourneen?
Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy
slumbers,
The blue mountains glow in the sun's
golden light,
Ahl where is the spell that once hung on
my slumbers,
Arise in thy beauty; thou star of my
night I
Mavourneen, Mavourneen, my sad tears
are falling,
To think that from Erin and thee 1
must part,
It may be for years, and it may be for-
ever,
Then why art thou silent, thou voice of
nay heart?
It may be ;for years, and it may be for-
eveie
Then why art thou silent, Kathleen
Mavourneen?

Brush For Cleaning Springs.
A handy brush for cleaning
springs that makes the work easy,
may be made by fastening three
small scrubbing brushes together,
one at the bottom and two at the
sides, with the bristles facing in,
With this brush the bottom and sides
of the spring can be cleaned at one
time.
Rough Roads Harm Gears.
Rough roads and easy riding
cars are playing havoc with trans-
missions. With balloon tires and re-
markabe spring control devices, a
driver often shoots across a stretch
of rough road at 80 or 40 miles an
hour. This greatly neglected unit
is now caught between a steadier en-
gine and a more active rear axle.
Safety First!
A fire extinguisher ought to be
carried in every car and placed in
the most accessible place. Inspect
the extinguisher frequently as it
sometimes develops leaks which al-
low the liquid gradually to escape.
A "fire drill" should be conducted
occasionally to gain experience i11
how to remove it from its bracket,
how to put it into action and how to
attack a fire in the most effective
manner.
An Abuse to Avoid.
Avoid driving fast through deep
slush or evatee puddles during cold
weather. If the chassis is kept wet
during the day and the weather
turns cold at night, ice_would collect
on many important units. Spring,
spring bolts, shackles, steering rods,
king bolts, universal joints, brake
rod connections, etc., have a heed
enough time struggling against odds
as it is. To freeze them up need-
lessly is just another way to abuse 1
the car.
A Tip of Importance
Should a crank theft or connect-
ing rod bearing burn out-, be sure
that the oil lines are clear. When a
bearing burns, the hot babbitt will
flow back into the crank shaft and
oil lines, blocking them.
Cut Down Gas Purchases.
Car owners who go motoring only
over the week -ends should buy gas-
oline in smaller quantities. Gaso-
line evaporates when the car is
standing idle. It. is not so much a
question of economy as of efficiency.
Stale gas .dbes not make for good
performance.
Winter Wisdom.
The lower half of the radiator is
more likely to freeze than the upper,
for the reason that the latter is al-
ways kept warmer with the return
evater from the hot cylinder block.
When parking the car on a cold,
-windy day, face the car toward the
wind. If left in the reverse positi 01
the wind will sweep up through the
engine pan and cool the engine rap-
idly, even though the radiator is cov-
ered. When placing the robe over
the hood for good measure as a pre-
caution against freezing, catch the
ends of the robe in the hood clamps.
Otherwise the wind will carry, the
robe off the hood and perhaps drop
it on the street. Keep the grease
gun on a bracket attached to the en-
gine side of the dash. Thus after
the car has been running, the grease
will be somewhat softer so that the
work a lubricating the chassis will
be greatly simplified.
In pumping; up a tire which is
known to be weak keep the face at
a safe distance, as a blowout may re-
sult in a broken jaw or eye injury.
