taken is found in Acts 2:14-40. To
The Cross
As Christians, the Easter Season
brings a . wonderful message. We
!colt back over the centuries and
among men but the amazing thing is visualize a scene lust outside the
that "He came unto His own; and His wails of Jerusalem.
own receiver! Him nota" (John 1:11 There on Mount Calvary are three
see Matt. 21:38). Peter himself had crosses. Olt the centreone, Jesus
denied his Lord, and Peter knows, and Christ, the Saviour of the world, is
does net hesitate to say, that he, and hanging, and on „either side,' a male-
factor.
By His sacrificial death on the
Cross, Jesus Christ has purehased for
us Eternal life, andby the shedding
of His blood He has given us a say-
ing grace, the acceptance of which
will make us co -laborers with Him.
through all Eternity.
Surrounding the cross is an angry
crowd, It is true there were some
there who were in sympathy with
Christ. His mother was there, the
two other Marys were there, the dis-
ciples minus Judas were there, and a
small number of sympathizers were
there, but the vast majority were op-
posed to Him, Among these Roman
soldiers, Scribes, Pharisees, Saddue
ees, chief priests and elders, led the
!rob crowd.
In the distance are some others
like Peter "standing afar off." Let
us Iook and see, who they are. They
too are helping to crucify the Lord
We see the merchant at our corner,
our neighbours, fellow -workers in the
church we attend. Gan itbe possible
there are members of our own farm
!lies? Looking closer we see oursel-
ves. We say, "It is impossible. I
have not crucified my Lord," but it
is true. Every day each one of us
crucifies the Lord afresh by our
thoughts, actions and words. We join
in the scene so aptly told in the
hymn—
"On a hill far away
Stood an old rugged cross
An emblem of suffering and shame."
Let us stop and sincerely ask our-
selves the question,, "Can I do the
things I am doing and not crucify the
Lord?"
The mob thought the death of
Christ on the cross was the end of
the influence of Jesus, but was it?
No! the Sunday following his sac-
rifieial death Christ arose from the
tomb, and with that resurrection came
our assurance of a glorious re -union
when God colts us to "the land which
is fairer than day."
Will that call find us worthy of
Christ and His "Well Done, thou. good
and faithful servant. Enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord"?
"If the Christ who died had stopped
at the Gross,
His work had been incomplete;
If the Christ who was buried had
stayed in the tomb
He had only known defeat.
But the way of the Cross never stops
at the Cross,
And the way of the tomb leads on,.
To vietorious pace in the Heavenly.

What To Eat to be Healthy
Number Three
Vitamin A is essential for the
health of the mucous membranes or
the eyes, nose, throat, sinuses, bran-
chial cubes, oesophagus, stomach, in-
testinal tract, and the genito-urinary
passages.
The lack of Vitamin A in the diet
causes eye troubles and tendency to
infections.
The following foods give you vita-
min A: Pasteurized milk, cream and
butter,' colored vegetables such as
spinach, carrots, leaf lettuce, eggs,
Liver and kidney.
The distribution of vitamin A is
very dire, and it is also very abun-
dant. If your diet contains a pint of
pasteurized milk a day, butter, and
two vegetables besides potato, as well
as an egg a day, you will certainly be
receiving an adequate supply of 'Vita-
min A.
Vitamins B1 and B2 are necessary.
for the nerves, skin, and the normal
burning up of sugarsand starches
in the body.
The lack of vitamins 131 and B2 re-
sults in neuritis. A lack of these
vitamins also results in constipation.
The following foods give you vita-
mins B1 and B2: Most vegetables and
fruits, particularly peas, beans and
lentils, whole grain cereals, egg
yolk, liver and kidney.
Vitamin 131 is widely but not ab-
undantly distributed. We must watch
carefully to see that we get an ade-
quate supply of it. This vitamin is
abundant in wheat germ. and yeast.
Unfortunately, vitamin 131 is water
soluble. If an excessive' amount of
water is used in cooking, as high as
90% of this vitamin may be thrown
away in the cooking water.
In the next article in this series of
"What to Eat to be Healthy", we will
discuss vitamins 0 and D.
Watch this series for complete and
authentic information on what to eat
and where to find it.
A Visit To The Educational
Exposition In Hamilton
March 31 -April 1 and 2
This was a demonstration sponsor-
ed by the Hamilton Teachers Coun-
cil showing Public and Secondary
School education as it is now in the
city of Hamilton. The new eu ricul-
unn has been in effect since the be-
ginning of the year and has changed
a dingy dull class room into a hive of
activity. Every grade from the kin-
dergarten to the end of high school
had its quota of posters and projects
depleting all ;!mases of work in their
particular class. There were rows
and rows of displays emphasizing
such things as health education, the
history of Hamilton, building houses
or barns, mending• shoes, making
clothes for the family, the use of bet-
ter English in every day talk, mak-
ing !teals with the proper mnount of
vitamins and calories, rhythm band

HAM FOR EASTER
Ham is perhaps our most economi-
cal meat. The housewife can buy a
whole one at much less price _per
pound than slices or even. half hams
and serve it in so many different
ways over a period of many days that
it does not get monotonous, Your
butcher will help• you by boning, a
ham for you and removing the rind
and rolling it if you waist to serve. it
that way. Wrapped in air -proof pa-
per and kept in the refrigerator the
unused part of a. well -cured ham will
keep perfectly for a long time. Do
not hack a ham with a poor knife; a
good sharp carving knife is necessary
to get large slices of an. even thick-
ness. If you want to get tile most
enjoyment out of a whole ham do not
serve it at consecutive !teals until the
last morsel is gone. Skip it for a
day or two—it will keep—and then
improvise surprises far its subse-
quent appearances on your table.
Baked Ham
Wash the ham and place, skin side
up, in a roaster with two cups of wee
ter or eider. Bake in a slow oven al-
lowing 20 minutes per pound. Re'.
move from the oven and peel off the
skin, Cut the fat in squares and
place a whole clove in each square.
Sprinkle with brown sugar • seasoned
with allspice and cinnamon and place
in the oven for another 20 minutes.
Or, after inserting cloves, rub the fat
with 2 tablespoons of mustard and
then over with a half-inch layer of
Mown sugar and very fine bread
crumbs combined in equal amounts

other pot, melt shortening', blench in

while. Cook for 6 minutes. Remove

"We have seen no more pertinent
and hopeful continent on current

Monitor in quoting the following
poem by A. Jacqueline Shaw. The
author explains that "I wrote it after
listening to the news over the radio
last night. I think we need to pray
that OUT hard hearts be softened or
this race of lien will be ,self -slain."
It expresses a sentiment that is in
the hearts of many people, and we
