The Lord's Supper, St. Matt, 26: 14.3Q. Golden Text - Cor•. 11: 26. Time and 'Place --Thursday, April (3, A.D. 29, - An upper: room .iii. Jer- lu.Coalem,n' neeting Links-ltlatthew, Mark. and Luke all agree that it was .the !passover supper which Jesus ate with His disciples on the last evening i Angie they spelt together. This was . the sacred feast held in memory of the great day of the deliverance of their fathers fromEgypt (Exo(1, 12- 13), Jesus had made secret prepare - liens e ith a frirrd in Jerusalem to ' eat the passover in his house. He ap- pears to have known of the plotting of Judas to betray Him, and to have believed that Judas would snake kiown the place to His enemies that they might come there in the night and seize Hdrn. By His secret pre- ' parations the traitor's plait For the time being was thwarted, and he had to choose a later hour and another place. Judas Sells His plaster, vv. 14-16. v. 14. Judas Iscariot. The surname means "man of .Kerioth," a town in the Eouth of Judaea. Judas seems to have been the only one of the twelve who was not a Galilean. He must have had same education and .some aptitude fcr business, for he acted as treasurer for the little company of, disciples. He had, no doubt, expected' great things of Jesus, and had dream- ed of places of great wealth and pow- er for those who were close to Him Now he is disappointed in his selfish ambition. He has given up all hope 1 that Jesus will make Himself a king. t It le possible, too, that he has been already pilfering from the common' purse which he carried. In his 'base and tseacheroua folly he now bargains i with the chief enemies of Jesus to deliverin H i up to them secretly and quietly. For that he is paid "thirty pieces of silver," iogniitalent to nine- teen or twenty dollars, or the ordin- ary price of a slave. That Judas had in him the possibility of better things is evident from the Masters choice of him, from the trust reposed in him by his fellow disciples, and from his late and bitter repentance., The Passover, vv. 17-30. The first day of the feast. This was the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nison, and seems to have been Thursday of the Passion week (Exod. 12: 17-181. The Jews were, and ,still are, very particular to remove all Leaven and leavened bread or cakes from their houses at the beginning of this day. In the afternoon the paschal lamb was killed (Exod. 12: 6), and in the evening the passover meal was eaten. It was on this day, there- fore, that the disciples asked the question, Where? and received the answer here recorded. Jesus had kept His secret well, and neither the trai- tor Judas nor the others "knew where they were to eat. Luke says that He sent Peter and Jahn. The man to whom they were sent would be found in a certain pace at a certain ante and would be expecting .'them. Mark and Luke tell the story more fully at this point. When Jesus told them to say "My time is at hand,' He ,rust have been thinking of the .approaching crisis which He "knew would end in His be- trayal and death, but they would naturally think only of the time of the Passover meal. When the even was come. Luke tells of the first words of Jesus (22: 14- 18), which Moffatt translates as fol- lows: "I have longed eagerly to .eat this passover with you before I suffer, for I tell you I will never eat the pass - over again till the fulfilment of it in the reign of God." He knew that the end of His earthly career was at hand, and that for thein as well as for Him a new -order of things was about to begin. We who _commemor- ate this last gathering of the disciples with their Master in the Lord's supper think of Him as present with vs do spiritual reality and power, eharing' with us the 000101011 meal. that snc"ifize era in that redemption, ivot+d.s, His teaching, His example, would become their spiritual food. His spirit would enter into them and give them rest,life. • Application. It is doubtful if we can imagine the dismay whidh followed the announce- iuent sliich Jesus made that one of His own disciples would betray Hini, "Exceeding eorrow" is the way the evangelset describes it. 13ut it -was not merely to amaze them with grief that Jesus nude this -startling asser- tion. In tones thrilling with sorrow arvd love He sought to reach the heart of the traitor. Surely the realization that the Master knew what dreadful plans aero in his heart would be too nr1r011 for Judas. Even the most du- nocent of the disciples were moved by the statement to earnest heart- searching. It is a testimony to the moral quality of the eleven that not one of them enquired -if it were some- one else, Every man examined his own heart to discover the possibility of such a moral lapse. And very right it was that it should be so, "In every individual there he coiled and dorm- ant, like hibernating snakes, evils that a very slight rise in temperature will wake up into poi, onus activity.' None of us should boast our`freedoin, from any form of spin. 'Ala wickedness hasone root and essence. It is selfish- ness, living to one's self instead of to God, and this onay- easily pass from 0110 form to another. There is no- thing more foolish than for any ene to indulge in the self-confidence that any form of evil kas no danger for him. '' It is surprising how much more -interest one will take in the farm Rock of poultry if one keeps c^ecords. I keep an account of all1,'eggs se- cured eo that I can compare year for year how my productioh per hen has increased or decreased. My re- cord also shows the chicks hatched and those raised; amount of poultry, eggs sold and costs. My record for the last four years follows: 1017: 42 hens, 4,289 eggs, 107.2 per hen. Chicks hatched, 453, raised 423. Eggs sold $ 52.15 Poultry sold 69.60 Expenses Net One of you shall betray Me. They were amazed and grieved. With one exception they were staunch and lee -al friends. Not one of thein would have betrayed Him, save the traitor Judas, who, with affeetod innocence, joined the rest in asking "Is it I?" The answer of Jesus was indefinite. They I were all dipping, according to the custom of the time, in the common I dish,and from time to time Jesus' I recognized and honored one or an - 1 other by dipping a morsel of bread, in the broth and banding It to him, Io this way He seems to have inti- mated to Judas that He knew what was in the traitor's heart, but the others did not suspect him. If they had they would hardly have let hien go. Even as it is written. Although the Jews did not commonly understand the prophecy of the suffering servant -of Jehovah, In Isa. 53, as referring to Christ, yet Christ Himself saw in it a prevision of His own suffering and death. This le My body. Jesus is, of course, speaking in figurative 'lan- guage. He is comparing himself, about to be slain, to the lamb whose flesh had teen -eaten, and whose broken Body and 'Shed blood had been the symbol of deliverance from Egypt.• 'So would Ii1s body he broken and I-fds bloat shed, that lie .might fulfill1-rte miveaon, atutbring redemp- tion too/amenity, and eultnbltsh God's Kingdom In the wor'1. 13y faith they would' become partakers with Him In 5121.76 73.87 5 47.88 1018: 118 bens, 15,336 eggs, 129 per hen.

I have always wondered why some farmers are content to urea cheap seeds. Poor stands, weedy crops, end scanty 34011)•3 usually result, and yet, judging' by the way some of the cheap Seed dealers are prospering, someone must be planting these guilty seeds, *Before taking up other agricultur- al work I spent several interesting years with a leading :seed house, Thinking there aright be something helpful in the experience I gained there, I will • tell you some of the. things which every seedman knows,, and which every farmer ought to know about seeds. If I were to list the four most im- potent things to eoneider in buying eods they would be: 1. High geantinaticn or vitality. 2, Freedom from' weed seeds and impurities, 3. Correctness of variety. 4. Breeding for high yields and dis- ease resistance. I assume that you, like most farm- ers, buy most of your seeds for field and garden. Of course,, there are many that you eau profitably save yourself; such as oorn, wheat, oats, occasionally clover, soy bean's, and a few of the' garden seeds. If you do' save your own, the most important. things to watch are germination 'and, impurity. It is very eseenbsal to clean the home -gathered 'seeds properly, so that all weeds are eliminated. The storage piece must be, favorable as to temperature one moisture, so that vitality will not be lost. A cool, but never freezing, temperature is hest, and dry air is much better than moist. But no matter how carefully you have kept your seed stocks, do not trust thein. .Every tot should have a ger:nine-tictest rather- alone to planting time to male sure that they haven't ' "gone bad." weeds 'have a tricky habit of doing that. The best of them will sometimes become oleo - lately worthless from no apparent cause. On the other hand, many sleds are eamemnly Rept by eaedsmen for several seasons without the slightest loss in growing power. The man thing is to feel their puhee" before planting them, by means of the germ -1 enation test. There are many kinds.of germina- tors. Perhaps the simplest method for small seeds is to place the sample he twssn two sheets of blotting paper, in a plate, keeping it moist and in a' warm place. After a r•easenabie length of time, count the number of seeds that do not sprout, and figure your germination perneentage. Really, good eaeds will often teat 98 per cent. or better, Anything over 90 per cent. will do; 80 to 90 per cent. is fair, If they test under 80 per cent., I would seriously consider the extra cast nec- essary to get a perfert ,stand anis the chances of .losing the crop before planting them, Of course, a good deal depends on the nature of the crop, It would not be serious if radishes, for the home garden, only germinated 60 per cent. Net $ 600.49 Net gain each year should ' be credited with the extra pullets over size of ficek the year befete. Inst year I had 229 extra pullets over number of hens Nov. '1st, I eull hens each year for hotter egg production I ship guaranteed strict- ly fresh eggs in case lots to at tea room, and get the ,select price for mine, shippieee nothing but infertile eggs in warm weather, I keep very .fete hens through their second winter and seal eockarats as broilers at two pound in weight, shipping direct to commission trier - rheas. I produoa a large portion of the eggs 1E411 in the fall and early winter when eggs are scarce and prices high. Only those who are wilting to work and work hard oan become •saccess- ful poultry raisers, Bach year there was more or loss feed to inventory on November 1 but it rices not add a great deal to the total, showing only about 5160 in the four years. All feed grown on the farm is charged at market price, and all ,eggs and poultry used are ero'itsd at market price, Whalebone wee 110.000 a ton in the days of stiffly -honed dress-hodices, 188UE No. 10--'21, You coal( simply do tb a the amount of seed. tared and expect to got a nor• mal stivnd -Curti is ,costly to rc+plat, and eo it doesn't pay to trifle with seed corn that falls much below 95 per cont.

Boplanbing •is almost ak ways more costly than the extra price necessary to get seeds that will grow. I could cite numerous examples ,of the harmful results caveat' by the introduction of dangerous weeds suet 05 thisbla nseeds'of Unknown duality, But, doubtless, you know of as many as I do, Quality in seeds, like quality in anything also can seldom be bought o.* . ,matt It is quite possibly to buy seeds that are fres of w+eede •arid• dirt, per- fect in germination, and yet it would be poor economy to use them oven' if they were bought for a song, Would you want to buy corn that is adapted only to a warmer climate than that of Ontario? Or' would you want seed wheat at 52.50' a bushel that wouldn't yield over 25 bushels to the acre on the richest land, when 58 a bushel would buy pedigreed wheat that would yield 30 to 40 bushels to. the acre on good lanai? Germination and meehamical purity wouldn't thew the difference in these two wheats, Their difference gots deeper -it is due to posnity of strain.

Although • the world's immediate need for food is indeed serious, a broad consideration of the paobleon involvre the matter -of popularising agriculture and country life for alt time to come,. Stoll a movement, if ik is to' be effective, most be conducted unselfishly, giving due consideration to each and every group and cases that make 030 our nation. • Furthermore, it must bo conduebeet along constructive lines. We must interest ourselves with Putting rural life on a more attractive and higher plane rather than doprooabing the real attractions of other society. It in up to the fanner inddvidtial y and colleotiveiy to boost ;his business. Agriculture must be advertised, Wo need more rural literature. Very little rural atmosphere can be distrovered in popular ftetion, histories, biograph- ies er text books. There are very few real advantages of the city that oaatnot 'be brought to the ruralist, but the basic • funda- mental advantages , of . 1ree life in God's open country can • never be trate-spiantesi into the pity exvept to a very limited degree. For every Ad- vantage of the city there are aortae - pending advantages of the country. For every disadvantage of the faint there are innumerable drawbacks to urban eaastenco, The city worker gets more money then the farm Wearer, • He likexrise upends more. The city man works a fewer number of hours than the ruralist-=buJ be consumes more time in going to end frons his work. The f m• lives out among the !!mills rxul as erely a g the; meadow• -'the city man exis:13 in the crowded fleshpots. The farmer gets his rent either free or at cost - the city man pays a fee large enough to• cover the profiteering of both property owner and rental agent. The /amen- may have a crop failure on account of weather conditiosee-- but the city chap often loses :his jo:a without even a cloud or a weather re - pert to warn hint of the .impen%ing danger and frequently the indur.ri l employer is more uncertain and er- ratio than the providential ocnu'ol of the elements. The farmer may obtain Isis food direct frolp' the eon. In 'the case of the city dweller, the simple act of food distribution is infinitely' more eonrplex and expensive than the bnale process et produetion it toil. Life in the country fosters indi- vidualism. The urbanite is merely a cog in the wheel. The city man al only oma of the masses -the farmer is received by his fellow -farmers, en his merits as a man. Country life stakes for physloat arra morel strength -•lite, city is the grave. yard' of our natioital physique. In the final analysis, the farmer eon the upper hand. Agriculture is the Most stable of all industries. Wane may devastate, panics may bankrupt, markets may become abagnant, but the farther continues to live more c: los$. as usual, Country life asoy lack scene of tate zip and bustle of the mot.reaolia, but competition for individual pro,tigo and advancement is less keen in agri- culture them in other inrlustrea. The feet that farm labor is soarce, with wages hdgbtr than ever heferc, makes it possible for the young man who is agriotetunaity inclined to start on thy road to independence. With nit equal amount of energy and ondlhrei ream, starting without education or training, he can get his name en the bank directorate via the agricccturrl route quicker than by the city cffi:a route.
