Introduction to 'the Lesson by REV. GORDON A. PEDDIE, BA .'.'4,1insu4n.1.01s040011. iloncNH6NIC,311dn•111.a .•n01• , I,O,. Lesson Text—Mark 5:1.17. Goijen 'fest—Matt. 12:12. That roan is not free but is sub- , ject to the bondage ofsin, and death, and the devil—this is the testimony of the Holy Scriptures. But the 11- lusion of freedom, and the consequent denial of the reality of these three }rower's, forms what' may perhaps be regarded ae the most characteristic c aspect bf the faith of the modern • pian- Indeed it is just this -"illusion ' -of freedom" which marks man off, as man, in our fallen world. For there. is nothing more evident among us than that we have succeeded (where! - the. Bible has failed) in 'toning down our conception of "sin"—by means • of good psychological explanations— until, at the very worst, we regard it as "imperfection" only: perhaps ev- en a necessary stage in the inevitable upward development of the human race as it brings the "kingdom of • God" nearer and nearer its fulfils meat. And nothing can be more cer- tain than that we have been set -free from regarding death as a fearful • curse, and the "last enemy" that must be overcome—yet it 'is evident, that it is as "curse" and "enemy" i that the Biblical man regards death. We have even achieved an insight whereby we view death as but a """blessing in disguise", a doorway) .leading uninterruptedly to a "higher life where our now "imperfect" net - 'tires attain perfection! As for the "devil"—he has achieved his erown- ing work in our age, having hood= winked us into believing iu his "non- existence" and so leaving him free and unmolested in his wanton de- structlon of - our lives. Under such an illusion our age can hardly find acceptable to its faith (however much we may pretend to i -be coueerned about the "evils of un- employment" and "the curse of pov- rerty" and the "horror of war" etc. •etc.) such a description of our life as that from the pen of Karl Barth, ""In this world men find themselves to be. itnprisoned. In. fact the more profoundly we become aware of the'i "'limited character of the possibilities s which are open to us here and now the more clear it is that we are farther from God, that out: desertion of Him is more, complete (Ram 1:15; 5:12) and the consequences of that desertion more vast (Roan. 1: 24;5: 12) than.we had ever dreamed. Men are their 'own masters, Their union with: God, is shattered so completely that they, cannot even conceive of .its restoration. Their sin is their guilt; their death is their destiny; theh world is formL.ess and tunultous chaos, a chaos of the forces of na- ture and of the human soul; their life is illusion. This is the situation in which we find ourselves. Thus, in our vaunted freedom, in the illusion which is our life, in the dream world in which we spend our days it becomes an impossibility for us (having, in becoming our own masters, denied sin, and death, and the devil) to perceive what is veritab ly the truth of our leeson text, name- ly, that the "man with the. unclean spirit" (verse 2)- isMAN—andthat this MAN confronts us in every: one of our fellows—yes, and that this MAN is truly none other than.—I! Read the text and see if this. MAN is not THYSELF, and if thou art not this man. That central "ego" of thy heart, that -"freedom" which thou dost possess, is it thine, or is it in the possession of an "evil" spirit? What of thy world?. What of ,thy will? What of thy works? Thy world? It is said of the man: in our text that he "dwelt among the tombs." And where dost thou reside if not amidst the tombs of a cold and death -filled "monumental" world! Thy will? It is said that "no man could bind hint, no not with chains." And hast thy will ever really been bound by human hands? Nay, but where thy liberty s endangered all the weak fetters of man — man's customs, man's laws, nan's moralisms, man's pieties, man's religions--a)l -these thou dost pluck asunder that thy will may remain N and free, Thy works? It is said of - this man that he was found 'night and day in the mountains and n the tombs, crying and cutting him elf with stones." And to what pur- 9heSNAPS JO! CUIL The Camera in the Kitchen Do YOU ever carry your camera 1-# into the kitchen? Next time you want to take pictures indoors, and ."run out of subjects, try -exploring "the realm of stove, icebox and pan- ' -try. It's a happy hunting -ground. Almost everything in a kitchen is •.a camera subject. The icebox and ;Vie china and aluminumware are a «?nine of still-life possibilities, and there are opportunities galore for -"oft-guard" pictures whenever a meal is being prepared. The mixing- of a cake can be a picture, if the ,big mixing bowl is ' enapped from a high angle with two Shands_ busy with a spoon in the �areamy baiter. Mother breathlessly 'testing the cake with a broomstraw is an opportunity for a "candid" shot, There are pictures,: general or close-up, when the cake is being `.iced. There is'a splendid close-up in Abe, cutting of'the first slice, with " ,the gleaming long -bladed knife go- ,. lug through the fluffy loaf. A pile of shining pots and pans may make a splendid picture, if the 1 `photographer chooses a proper angle • • andworks out a "dramatic" lighting. China, wet and glistening in a drain rack, is material for-pietures, Even the dishpan, foamy with suds as two - 7 hands squeeze out the dishrag above • it, Is a picture opportunity. The .icebox yields eggs and vege- '-tables that can be Worked into inter- esting "still-life", studies. A series of "'busy bands" pictures is well Worth trying—hands peeling a potato, with a long curl of peel hanging; hands : polishing silverware or drying -glass- ware; hands turning a brown pan- • 'cake on a griddle or lifting a waffle • .•out of the iron—hands doing a thou" • sand and one things!

Snaps like this abound in any home.' ly small and walls and ceiling are generally light in color. The camera should be loaded with suPeesensi- tine film, and three lar"ge amateurr Rood bulbs used in cardboard -re- flectors..The proper distance from bulbs to subject is four to, six feet. With this amount of light, one can take snapsho•"ts with a box camera at its largest lens opening, or use 1/25 second at 1.8 or 2.11 lens opening with cameras so marked.

This NEW MAN is the enemy of our sepulchral world, and of our free will, and of our destructive works. We fear HIM. We know He has. come to. rob us of our "liberty" and to bind us to Himself. We do not want Him. We much prefer to remain the lords, of our own. life. We know we have nothing in common with Him—"What have I to do with thee!", we cry, "1 adjure thee eny God that thou torment ire not." (verse 7). But the NEW MAN knows our need, and once again (see Mark 1: 25; 1:41; 2:11; 3:5) His authoritative Word rings out, "Come out of the MAN thou unclean spirit!" (verse 8). Thus we are to see in this man in our text how MAN is made - NEW (though he himself rebels against it) when the NEW MAN sneaks His Word to our trembling and despairing souls. And he whom no man could tame isnow found sitting quietly, clothed in new garments, and sound in mind (verse 15): Here, indeed, is cause for wonder' • (verse 20). Here indeed is cause for joy and for the publication of the "great things" which the LORD hath done for MAN'. (verse 19). Robbed of his "freedom" (his bondage to the world, and death, and the devil), MAN hath become en- slaved to the Lord Jesus Christ—and in this new "bondage" - MAN hath been set free: "Go home to thy friends ... and tell them of the mer- cy of the LORD." (Note --Space will not permit my making a quotation from one of the most famous of Dostoyevsky's Novels entitled, "The Possessed". A portion of our lesson text is taken as a "mot- to" for the Book, and near 'the close of the novel is found the remarkable application of this motto,) Churches Will Hold Special 'Services In Memory Of John Wesley The United Ghureh of Canada has competed plans for a Dominion -wide observance of the Bi -Centenary of John. Wesley's Conversion. It was in a little room in Alders- gate St., London, 200 years agothis coming May, where something hap- pened to the founder of Methodism which gave a new and positive direr Eon to his life. From that point on he became a reformer whose prodig- ious activity covered an active span of 50 years and did not cease Until the French Revolution was in full swing. During' those 50 years he travelled 250,000 miles on land at a time when there were no turnpikes in the north of England and the Lon- don stage coaches did not run beyond York. This man of short stature but indomitable will proclaimed his Gos- pel ilt, a decadent age in face of all opposition. Nothing stepped him. Riots, police interference, the apathy of the State Church, the interfer- ence of Bishops, the banging of the doors of Parish Churches in his face failed to quench his ardour. In the open fields, from the top of some grassy knoll, in meeting places and Churches he faced multitudes who eagerly listened to the preaching he offered there. To those who sought to confine hien to restricted areas he replied; "The world is my parish." When he died Wesley left behind hint a collection of books, a clergyman's gown a few silver spoons, a much abused reputation,• and the Methodist Church.. The Methodist Church to -day num- bers mole than 30,000,000 followers `hronghont the world,,. of all lan- ;ua!;es and colours, Especially ntlm- erous are they in Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. ['hough ' the forces of Methodism be- rape divided after Wesley's death there is to -day a strong tide towards ruion. ,In 1925 the Canadian Methe- dist Church joined with Presbyter- ians and Congregationalists to., form The United Church of Canada, the first ease in history where' Methodism :Tossed denominational lines to help form, a union of+Churches. As far as, Canada is concerned the observance will be marked on May 24th by special evangelistic efforts in local Churches, epecial order of service embracing the rich hymody of Methodism, a course of special lec- tures throughout the theological col- leges, the featuring of fitting books, natnphlets and slides bearing on Wes- ley's life and ministry and a special service of commemoration and ap- hien with her wise counsels and ad - Maisel in connection with the meet-, vice, A HEALTH SERVICE o. rHe CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA PREVENTING' PNEUMONIA Each year, pneumonia exacts, a hea- vy toll from those who are in the prime of life, at the age when they are the greatest asset to their fami- lies and to' their country. Any prac- tical measure for overcoming this tremendous annual loss of life, with all such loss implies, is worthy of consideration by the individual citi- zen and by the community as a whole. With the coming of colder weather, after the heat Of the summer,• which is sometimes prolonged into the aut- umn, we feel more energetic. We put a snap into our work, enjoy brisk wallas, and, altogether, feel a glow of health. But with the coming of cold- er weather, too many of us desert the out-of-doors, and shut ourselves into homes and work places that - are overheated, and we live in closer con - tea with other people most of our working hours. Pneumonia is caused by .germs, and pneumonia belongs to that group of diseases which are known as com- municable, By this we mean that the germs which cause the disease are passed, or communicated from one person to another. There is reason tsr believe that the general fitness of the body' has a de- finite relation to the occurrence of pneumonia. It appears that fatigue, chilling, worry, lank of rest, dissipa- tion, and all such occurrences, or neg- lect of the body, resulting in what we might describe as a rundown state, favour the germs of pneumonia and give them a better chance to do their deadly work. It is important to understand and appreciate the relationship between the common cold and pneumonia. The respiratory tract is continuous from the nose down to the smallest branch- es of the bronchial tubes in the lungs. A. cold is an infection of the upper part of the respiratory tract, and neglect of the common cold is often followed by an infection, of the lower part of the respiratory tract, which is pneumonia. Preventing pneumonia means keep- ing fit. Dress properly, and enjoy some form of outdoor life the year round. Secure sufficient' rest and fresh air; do not become overfatigued, and, by dressing .according to the temperature and the weather, avoid exposure to cold and wet. Use some green vegetable and fresh fruits ev- ery day during the winter; your body needs them. Shun coughers and sneeze's, Wash your hands before eating, and keep your hands away from your face. Take care of a cold if you develop one. Keep away' from sick people unless you are caring for them, and then take the precautions that are necessary in dealing with a communicable disease.

The Bastile A Royal Palace The Bastile was a royal palace in France, built by Charles V in 1369. It was subsequently used as a state prison, in which' political prisoners, of the higher ranks were confined. These were often imprisoned most unjustly,' without trial, and on the mere caprice of the king, and were frequently kept confined there for years without being allowed to speak or act in their own 'defense, or even to know what had been. charged ;a- gainst them. On July 14, 1789, a mob attacked the Bastile, overpower- ed the guards. and ' demolished the. building. The key of the outer door of this prison) was obtained by. Gen- eral Lafayette; who sent it to - Gen- eral Washington. The key, which is a large, black, cross -handled one of wrought iron, seven inches in length, is • preserved in a gl s. case among the relics at Mount Vernon. ings of C'onfrences. On Mothers' Day, lVIay 8th, the' life of Susanna Wesley will ' be, given special thought. This is fitting in view of the fact that this great woman has been un- animously named by historians as the Mother of Methodism. She it was who formed the foundation of John Wesley's education, gave depth to his piety and imported to him that tenacity of purpose which held 'him throughout the Tong years of his ap- ostolate. She it was who guided him through the theological crises of his earlier years never failing to uphold f f +HHH f i s e',ft,}ere le/X Tested ;r Recipes ♦i si �.jslT �.,�N� � iH�H.ya%�M�W �HW*H�✓TisT.'s3i MARKETING BY GRADE Marketing by grade, as represent- ed by the increasing sales of brand- ed beef over several years, is becom- ing popular/ in Canada, proving con- clusiv�ly that the assertion "Grading takes the ' hazard out of buying" is true, particularly in the case of beef. Possibly there is no other article of good in which high quality is more important,\or in which the quality is more variable, more difficult to iden- tify, or more subject to misrepresen- tation. None of : these hazards can affect the buyer of Government branded beef, which carries with it the guarantees of good beef in two qualities, or grades—Choice or Red Brand, and Good or Blue Brand. A red ribbonlike mark running a- long the full length of the carcass dentes the Choice brand; a similar mark in blue signifies the Good grade, so that when thebeef is cut up a section of the brand appears on every important cut. These are the marks of quality and must not be confused with the round "Canada Ap- proved" mark which does not denote quality but only the fact that the beef has passed the Dominion health inspection. The ribbon marks indi- cate both health and quality, for only "Canada Approved" beef can be used for grading, The following recipes are taken from the 52 page illustrated bulletin "Beef—How to Choose and Cook It," which may be obtained from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, free an application. Roast Beef Wipe off with damp cloth. Rub well with salt and sprinkle with pep- per. Place the fat side uta in an op- en roasting pan. If roast is very lean, place additional layer of suet on top. Place roast in hot oven of 450 degrees F. and sear 15-20 min- utes. Reduce heat to 850 degrees F. and continue roasting, allowing 15- 18 minutes to the pound, according to how well done the roast is desired. If a roast thermometer is used—and this is very advisable—it should read 180 degrees F. for a rare roast; 155 degrees F. for ,g medium roast, and 175 degrees F. for a well-done roast. Serve with horse radish sauce or In- dian chutney. Sirloin Steak, Broiled Wipe steak with cloth wrung from cold water. Trim off superfluous fat. Grease broiler with fat, place meat on broiler, and b2oil under or over strong heat, searing first .one surface and then the other. When both surfaces have been seared, re• duce heat and complete cooking. Steak should be cut I1/2 inches thick. Time for broiling 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and but- ter. Remove to hot serving platter and stricther with sauced mushrooms. Fillet Mignon, Maitre d'Hotel Butter Cut bee tenderloin 11 inches thick slices, trim in circular shape, sur- round with a -thin slice of bpcon, fas- ten with a small wooden skewer' and broil 6 minutes in a -hot, well -greas- ed frying pan; turning' often. Re- move to hot serving platter and spread generously with Maitre d'Ho- tel butter. - Surround with broiled mushrooms. - - Asiatic Aliens in Canada - 1 There are 61,000 natives of Asiatic countries living in •Canada:. These include 42,000 Chinese, 12,000 Japan- ese, 4,000 Syrians, 1,000 Turks and 600 Armenians, according to the last Census; ' The people of Asiatic ori- gin in the Dominion manlier 85,000. The immigrant males from Asia greatly outnumbered the females, particularly an in the case of the Chi- nese, the finale 40,500, and the females 1,500, whereas the, immigrant Japan' ese were nearly 8,000 males to over 4.000 females, The result, el course, is that there are more natives of Canada of Japaneseorigin than of Chinese origin, More Japanese chil- dren are bo>,ar here than Chinese. There are nearly 10,000 females of Japanese origin in Canada and only 3,500 Chinese. Of the 61,000 immigrants from As-. ia, 51,000 were men over 21 years of age and only 7,400 over that age had become naturalized citizens of Can- ada. Oyer 43,000still remained al- iens.

KEEP ON SINGING Don't let the song go out of your life; Though it chance sometime to flow In a minor strain;. it will flow again With the major tone you know. What though shadows rise to obscure life's skies, And hides for a time the sun, The sooner they'll lift and reveal rift, If you let the melody run. they Dont let the song go out of your life; Though your voice may have lost its trill, Though the tremulous note may die in your throat, Let it sing in your spirit still. Don't let the song go out of your life; Let it ring in the soul while here; And when you go hence, 'twill follow you hence, And live in another's sphere. —Exchange.
