.Introduction to the Lesson by
REV. GORDON A. PEDDIE,
nes
. Lessen Text—Mark 2:1e-22,:
• •golden Text= -Mark 2:17.
First jet .us recur; ,the most lamer -
',tent fact in connection with the in-
•',traduction to the first .part of the
first chapter. of St, Mark's Gospel.
We quote from the lesson for Jame -
...any 9th, "There is, finally, no more
profound significance to' Jesus'' bap-
'tism than this, that by 'thus fulfilling
'all righteousness' Jesus, who himself
knew no sin, identifies himself with
•sinful man. He enters upon his min-
istry as -a sinner among sinners! The
•essence of true Christian love is -thus
,:,eeen to lie in the power of identity."
And now look at Jesus as He -ap-
pears before us in our lesson text for
'this week: "And it cane to pass, that,
as Jesus sat at meat in his house,
many publicans and sinners sat also
'together with Jesusand his disciples"
(Mark 2:15). Here we catch a
:glimpse into the infinite depths of the
i unsearchable riches of the Gospel of
redeeming love. Here we see Him
who, "being in. the form of God,
thought it not robbery to, be equal
with God; but made himself of no re-
- putation, and took inion him the form
• of a servant, and was made in the
likeness of Wren: and being found in
fashion as a man he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even
' the, death of the cross" (Phil 2:6-8).
...The humiliation of death, yea, and
that the death of the cross, stares us
in the face in this very scene portray-
. ed in our lesson text. Here, on either

brought to repentance: therefore this
peace and joy are found only in trib-

must happen when God iinplants him-

becomes a new vessel and a new crea-

attend the change, how convulsed with

—how precarious, and how close to
misunderstanding, when the anguish
of guilt seeks to disturb the peace of
love! And how wtapt in fear; for
it is indeed less terrible to fall to
the ground when the mountains trem-
ble at the voice of God, than to sit at
table with hint as an,enual; and yet it
is God's concern precisely to have it

At this rate of depletion, the moth-
er fish would be kept very busy rais-
ing a family to keep 'speckled trout
from becoming extinct. However, hu-
man beings are realizing the value of
keeping the brooks and streams sup-
plied with trout, and piscatorial nur-
series are established throughout the
province by their governments.
The station at St. Faustin is the
most recent and largest of six nurser-
ies in Quebec. There a fish expert
who, has thirty-five years of experi-
ence to his credit, raises the baby
trout in artificial ponds and concrete
tanks filled with water piped from
springs.
The eggs are gathered about the
fifteenth' of October and remain dur-
ing the winter in small black troughs
where the spring water never freezes.

HABITS OF THE CROW
Most of the crow's success as a
marauder can be traced to his gee-
garious instincts. The popular belief
that a flock posts sentries to warn of
danger never has been authticated be-
yond argument, but individual birds
always will
give the flock warning

fore
they wing away from a suspicious
object. Crows steal eggs from other
birds, but they never molest those
of their own kind. They steal nesting
material from each other, however.
Female crows usually lay five eggs,
only rearing one brood a year, Both
male and female take turns sitting
on the eggs.—Liiteraey Digest. -

To hear your - laughter and your voics
As we were wont to do.
But, oh, I think .of you so much,
With tenderness and tears,
And I remember little things

Laughter was easy then, and song.
Was part of every day.
What gay good times we always had;
Where have they done away?
Faded the beauty we had known
Beset with care and strife
Youth bows her head beneath the yoke
The bondage grim of life.
