THE BRUSSELS POST
NEPTUNE IN MODERN GARB VIEWS QUEBEC
Mow that Shakespearean produe-
1 o tions are staged in plus fours,
evening clothes and khaki there
does not appear to be any solid oh-
jection against Father Neptune
discarding his traditional garb of
seaweed in favor of seaboots and
sailor togs, and the Canadian
National Railways photographer
recently found the son of Saturn
and Ops gracefully lounging in
Quebec City as depicted above. It
will be noted that the old gentle-
man retains trident and helm but
has adopted a modern steering
ro®
wheel in place of horse and dolphin.
This particular effigy may be
found on Mountain Ilill and
appears to replace one which up to
1850 had place of honor over the
entrance to the "Old Neptune
Inn' then a noted coffee house in
St. Peter Street frequented by
sea -faring men. Time was when
carved wooden figures frequently
marked hostelries and commercial
establishments in Quebec and
Montreal but only a scant few
have withstood the advancing
years. (

THE CRUCIFIXION
Sunday, June 17—Mark 15:16-47.

ward us, in that, while we were yet '
sinners, Christ died for us. (Rom.
b:8)
fore, the event, with amazing accur-
acy. "The proof of inspiration is
irresistible."
Isaiah 52:14 has the literal mean-
' ing: "So marred from the form of
man was His aspect that His appear-
ance was not that of a son of ;nan"
--that is, as the Scofield Reference
Bible points out. His appearance
was not human, the effect of the
brutalities described in the Gospel ac
counts of the crucifixion. Have we
realized the unthinkable indignities,
outrages and sufferings to which the
Lord of glory voluntarily submitted
Himself?
The parting of His garments and
the casting of lots upon them, were
a fulfillment of the prophecy in
Psalm 22: 18.
Being crucified with two thieves
fulfilled Isaiah 53:22. Those two
thieves represent all mankind in two
classes: The one accepting by faith
Christ as his Saviour, the other re-
jecting the salvation that was right
at hand.
One died to sin—forever died!
Impenitent!
One died in sin—forever died!
The penitent!
One died for sin—He whom in love
The Father sent!"
The darkness that came over the
whole land from the sixth hour with
the ninth was an outward, visible
manifestation of the darkness in the
life of the Sun of righteousness. It is
unthinkably beyond our comprehen-
sion, hut God's Word tells us what
happened. Because Christ, Himself
s'•nless, was made sin for us (2 Cor.
1:21 ), He was separated from the
Father. And for the first time !•n
..t nits. God cannot look upon sin.
So He had to turn away from His
only begotten San. Then came that
dr, ed "ornhnn cry from the cryo: a,"
"My (=nd. illy God, why hast Thou

Some people say that the New
Testament is all we need now, and
that the Old Testament is interesting
only as a curio, something quite ob-
solete, to be put on the shelf as an
ancient work having no value for to-
day. They forget that we could not
understand the New Testament with-
out the 01d. Particularly is this true
of the New Testament records of the
crucifixion of Christ. Our interpre-
tation and understanding of the cru-
cifixion depend largely on the revela-
tions of God made in the Old Testa-
ment, Indeed, it has been ascertain-
ed that there are twenty-five Old
Testament prophecies that were ful-
filled in twenty-four hours at the
time of the crucifixion. And there
are many Old Testament prophecies
that have not been fulfilled, but that
will yet be, to the letter, as all of
God's predictions are.
Back in the Garden of Eden, when
God was pronouncing judgment on
the serpent, and on the woman, and
on the man; for the first sin of man-
kind, He said to Adam: "Cursed is
the ground for thy sake; ...thorns
also and thistles shall it bring forth
to thee" (Gen. 3:17, 16.) Four
thousand years later. when the "Seed
of the woman," Jesus Christ, was a-
leout to he bruised by the seed of the
serpent, and was to bear the sins of
mankind "in His own body on the
tree" (1 Pet. 2:24), His enemi+
"platted a crown of thorns, and mi'
it about His head." Is it not
ficant that one of the result., of the
sin of "the first man Adan:" ':1;

The disease is caused by a fungous
parasite, the spores of which enter
tine goral parts of the plant when
these are aper at bloseom time, and
the result is the devlopment of the
ergot bodies instead of the kernels
of grain. These blackish bodies ma-
ture as the plants on which they
grow, mature. Some of these fall
to the ground, while others find their
way into the threshed grain, and in
this way the fungus is returned to
the soil. In the spring, each of the
ergot bedies on, or near, the surface
of the soil, sand out several stalks
which, in turn, bear many tiny, light
spares. These are shot out of the
spore -bearing cavity, and carried up-
wards by air currents and insects„ to
the floral parts of susceptible plants.
Under moist conditions, these spores
send out tiny threads which grow in-
to and fill the place where the new
grain would have developed. At
this stage, the fungus exudes a large
amount of sweet, sticky honey -dew,
and with it thousands of spores.
which spread the fungus. Insects,
attracted by this honey -dew, carry
the spores on their body to the floral
parts of other plants. Rain and wind
also help to spread these spores.
Warm showers followed by sunny
periods produce favorable conditions
for the spread of the disease. Af-

possibly, It is very important to
nvoid sowing either rye or durum
wheat after ergot infested crape of
these 00811(s, since these two crops
suffer most severely from the ergot
disease. The common when's in use
are rarely affected to any extent, and
th stone is true of barley and oats.
Brom, western rye, folium and
other wild wheat and rye grasses,.
which are commonly found about
the borders of fields, are also attack-
ed by the ergot fungus.
Drill seeding is much preferable to
broadcasting foi', in addition to bury-
ing the ergot bodies deeply, the per-
iod of blossoming is shortened, there-
by reducing the chances for infect-
ion. A mixed early and late lye
should not be used, nor should the
close planting of early and late
varieties be practised. Deep plough-
ing after a badly infected crop, is
recommended, in order to bury the
ergot bodies which have fallen to
the ground during harvest. If these
are deeply buried, they will not be
able to germinate successfully and
produce spores. Care should be
taken that the ploughing be sufficient
ly deep to prevent the ergot bodies
being brought to the surface by sub-
sequent cultivation. Early harvest
lessens the number of ergot bodies
which fall to the ground. It is also a
very profitable practice to mow or
destroy other grasses which are sus-
ceptible and growing nearby; the

so that eight inches remains above
the surface. Each stake has a lean
of one inch toward the other. A
box, 36 inches square, is built around
each stake and sunk level with the

with fine earth.
The pitcher may stand with his
heel at the stake and the other :Coot

In' order to score, the shoe must
