GREATNESS THROUGH SERVICE
Sunday, May 6—Mark 9:33-50
10: 35-45.
Golden Text
The Son of Man carne not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give His life a ransom for many.
(Mark 10-45).
The disciples were human. That
means they were sinful. Being hu-
man does not excuse our being sin-
ful. And so, when they expressed
their sinful desires by disputing a-
mong themselves who should be
greatest, the Lord rebuked then.
It is not wrong to want to be
great; but it is wrong to want to get
greatness in the wrong way. It is
wrong to want it selfishly. It must
have cone as a shock to the disciples
when the 'Lord said to them: "If any
than desire to be first, the same shall
be last of all, and servant of all"
Greatness, to most of us, is associat-
ed with the thought of having many
serve us. It really means serving
many. The greatest Man who has
ever lived is the One who has served
most, the Lord Jesus Christ Hlimself. t
Quite apart from Christian or
spiritual truth, the same . principles ,
hold good in the world today, The
business that can serve effectively i
the greatest number becomes the
biggest business. She most success-
ful hotels, for example, are those
that impress the public with the fact
that they are really serving the pub-
lic with every possible comfort and
convenience. And so in school life,
in the home, the shop, the office,
everywhere, the one who is doing
mot for others soon rises to a place
of pre-eminence.
But the Lord went still farther. He
took a little child in His arms, and
showed what a great service could
be rendered in connection with a
child: "Whosoever shall receive ono
of such children in My name, re-
ceiveth Me; and whosoever shall re-
ceive Me, receiveth not Me, but Him
that sent Me." To receive a little
child in the name of Christ is to re-
ceive God. Could there be a great
cr service?
Doing things for little children
may seem unimportant, trifling; one
may have to be "last of all" in order
to do this' One clearly defined con-
dition, however, is named by the
Lord; it must be done "in My name."
Merely being kind to little children
was not what He was speaking a-
bout, though many seem to think it
was. Caring for little children in
the name of Christ is the great ser-
vice of which He was speaking. It
nntst be done as unto the Lord. the dead by the glory of the Father"
There is a sharply contrasting lin order t o"walk in newness of life"
teaching in this lesson. To "offend" ' (Romans 0:4).
or "cause to stumble:" a little one The climax of the lesson, and of
that believes in Christ is such a des- all history is the Golden Text. Not
perste sin in God's sight that "it is only did Christ come to minister
rather than be ministered unto, but
better for him that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and he were to lay down' His life a ransom, in
cast into the sea." Surely this must order to buy lost sinners back from
the dead. With this lesson should be

hell, into the fire that never shall bo

not, and the fire le not quenched."
The passage is preretied by what
the Scofield Reference Bible calls our
Lord's rebuke of sectarianism. John,
the beloved disciple, told the Lord
that he had forbidden a certain ono
who had been casting out devils in
Christ's name, because "he follow -
nth not us." And the Lord rebukes
John, teaching him that any good
work that is done sincerely in the
name of Christ puts one on Christ's
side, not over again::t Him. Whether
such a one is following us is unim-
portant; the question is whether he
is following Christ.
The lcaaon closes with another in-
cident of self-seeking as James and
John ask the Lord, "that we may
sit, one on Thy right nand, and the
other on Thy left nand, in Thy
glory." It seems strange that these
disciples in the presence of the Lord
of Glory, who had sacrificed all to
stoop and become man, could have
been so filled with the thoughts of
selfish prominence, Yet it is not
strange; we who know more of
Christ and truth than they at that
time have fallen into the same sin.
As He questioned them; they rash-
ly and impulsively (Peter had no
monopoly on the boastful spirit);
assured Him that they could drink of
His cup and be baptized with His
baptism. Little did they dream of
what He meant, or of His coming
agony and crucifixion, which they so
lightly said they could share. Nor
did they know what the Lord meant
when He assured them that they
should indeed share these experien-
ces with Him. He says the same to
all of us who believe on Him, as He
tells us, through the New Testament
Epistles, that we have been baptized
into His death, and crucified with
Him, and with Him "raised up from

Canadian Society Sponsors Essay
Competition as Memorial
Red Cross Societies in Canada, on
May 8, will commemorate, the cen-
tenary of the birth of Henri Dunant,
a Swiss, who conceived the idea from
which Red Cross sprang,
Dunant, a tourist, was in Lom-
bardy, Italy, in Jnne 18119, when the
allied Italian and French armies
clashed with Austrian troops in the
battle of. Solfernino, .where 40,000
soldiers were killed or wounded. In
a compassionate desire to aid the
wounded, Dunant gathered around
him a group of women and this small
band, the nucleus of the Red Cross
movement, did what they t could to
lessen the misery of both ailed and
enemy casualties.
Dunant's book, "A Souvenir of
Solferino," called the world's atten-
tion to the lack of medical and nurs-
ing services for armies in the field,
and subsequently, in 1863, at
Geneva, Switzerland, the Red Cross
Society came into being,
To •arkm the centenary of Dunant's
birth, in Canada .the Canadian Rod
Cross Society is offering a series of
prizes on Henri Dunant and his life.
These prizes are listed in three
asses, for dailies, for weeklies and
for French-Canadian dailies and
Weeklies. Dr, Charles G. D. Roberts
of Vancouver, well known Cafladian
poet, is ono of the judges in the con-
test, which closes May 20.
Nearly 210,000 workers are in-
volved in the now wage agreements
being drawn up in Sweden.

MAY 6 — THE PHOENIX PARK
MURDERS
Forty-six years ago, on the Gth of
May, 1882, the perpetration of the
foul and senseless crime known, as
the Phoenix Park Murders sent a
thrill of horror and indignation
throughout the British Empire.
Earlier in the year the British
Government had announced its in-
tention of removing some of the
hardships which had undoubtedly
been inflicted upon the Irish people
by the enforcement of the Coercion
Act of 1881. This measure had been
passed in the hopes that it would
stem the rising tide of murder and
lawlessness which was sweeping all
over Ireland, and its partial repeal
was regarded as a serious mistake by
the officials who were responsible for
mainttaining law and order in the
country. The leniency of the Gov-
ernment was condemned by Earl
Cowper, the Lord Lieutenant, and
4tr• E. Forster, the Chief Secretary,
both of whom resigned their posts,
and Earl Spencer and Lord Freder-
ick Cavendish were appointed to
succeed them.
On the afternoon of the Gth May
•the new Lord Lieutenant made his
state entry into Dublin, and was es-
corted to his official residence in the
Castle by the new Chief Secretary.
Early in the evening, while it was
still daylight, Lord Frederick left
the Castle to walk across Phoenix
Park to his own residence, and was
accompanied only by Thomas Henry
Burke. who had been Permanent
Under-Secretary for a period of 13
years. In the centre of the Park
they were suddenly surrounded by
nine , mon, who stabbed them to
death with amputating knives and
then drove rapidly away in a ear.
Several persons at a distance had
witnessed the attack, but were too
far away to see what was haupvniug,
or to identfy -the assassins, who
would have possibly escaped detect-
ion had not the same gang made a
similar attack on a man who had act-
ed as a juryman in a murder trial.
He was luckily able to identifv the
man who drove the car in which his
assailants had fled after leaving him
apparently dead on the ground, and
this led to the discovery of a care-
fully -planned conspiracy to assass-
inate the whole of the Dublin Castle
oiiiicials. Twenty men were placed
on trial for the murder in Phoenix
Park, five of them were hanged and
several others were sentenced to
long terms of imprisonment.
The murderers were convicted
mainly on the evidence of James
Carey who had been deeply involved
in the conspiracy, but who was grant
ecl a free pardon for turning inform -
eat Informer. In order to avoid the
venganco of the friends of the Wren
whom he had betrayed he was sent
out to South Africa by the Govern-
ment under an assumed name, but
he was followed by a man, named
Patrick O'Donnell, who shot hiss
dead during the voyage. O'Donnell
v;as taken back to London, where he
was tried for the murder of the in-
former and duly executed.
The cowardly and unprovoked
assassination of Cavendish and
Uurlce naturally alienated the sync°
pathies of the Government from the
Irish nation, and led to the
of the Crimes 1;i11, which .••4'1111i=lied

country. Cavendish, vin, was the

TREATING dA3I.tG
FOR SMUT
While weed control and conse-
quently the sowing of good clean
seed is uppermost in the minds of
all careful farmers, yet it is well to
remember that smut causes consider-
able loss annually.
To treat oats for either loose or
covered smut is a simple matter. All
that is required is an ordinary quart
sprayer a pint of formalin and a pint
of water, This amount wftI do from
140 to 50 bushels, It is known as the
dry formaldehyde treatment. One
man sprays while another turns the
oats with a shovel, Care must be
! exercised regarding the cleanliness
et the floor when the spraying takes
place. Also be sure that plenty of
ventilation prevails otherwise some
unpleasantness may be experienced.
After completely treating all the oats
cover with bags or blankets well, and
leave for four or five hours. Take
them out and sow.
The sprinkling method is O. K.
for oats but net as convenient as the
' above. Barley or Itulless oats, how-
ever, should be treated for covered
stout by the sprinkling method. The
hdry method as described for oats will

The greatest enemy to tire life is not the harsh grind
of city streets or rough roads but heat which is created
inside the tire by internal friction. Heat not only
weakens the fabric, but also softens the rubber causing
blowouts and tire failures.
The exclusive Firestone Gum -Dipping process
prevents internal heat. Every fibre of every cord is
insulated and impregnated with rubber, which prevents
internal friction and at the same time binds the cords
together by a stronger union of rubber, thus giving
greater strength and flexibility to the tire.
