BLYTH.
'Sympathy is extended to Mfr. V. M.
Bray, manager of the Bank of Com-
merce on the death of his father, Mr.
Samuel 'Bray, widely known civil en-
gineer and land surveyor, aeho died
at his home its Ottawa on Sunday. A
native of. Quebec City, he was educ-
ated in England and later spent some
time in Mexico in the silver mining
industry. Returning to Canada he
took up residence at Barrie before go-
ing to Ottawa in 1S84.1Before his su-
perannuation tett years ago he had
filled the post of Chief Surveyor of
the Indian Department for more than,
twenty years, Besides his widow he
is survived by one daughter, Mrs.
George S. Abbott, Ottawa, and three
sons, Charles L., Ottawa; Sidney H„
of Montreal, and V. Marcom, of
tBlyth.
Ever since union was declared be-
tween the former Methodist and
Presbyterian Churc'hes efforts have
been trade here to consummate un-
ion between these two :churches, but
all their efforts failed. But, at last, a
solution has been arrived at by means
or another vote. St. Andrew's Unit-
ed took the initiative by taking a
standing vote at their annual meeting
which was unanimous, Then Queen
Street United held a vote by ballot
which gave a substantial majority for
uniting. lap to this tine the question
of which property was to be used had
been the stumbling .block but last
week the property committee of the
Huron Presbytery came here and al-
ter a thorough examination they de-
cided that St. Andrew's manse was
to be accepted, and that for -the next
year the congregations should meet
for the first six .months starting on
!July 1. in Queen ;Street -Church, and
for the next six months in St. And-
rew's, which seems to be agreeable to
all. After the term of six months in
each .church the committee will meet
and decide upon which church will be
used permanently.

PASSION WEEK
C. A. M.
The Mon day before Easter—A.D. 30.
11 \vas a 'fine arrangement for the
Pilgrims to the Passover to be able to
get their money- changed right there
at the 'Temple,—and to buy their sac-
rifices there,—most handy for the
worshippers ;who came fron far.
The Temple was supposed to be a
place of prayer, but it had become a
Place of commerce, And the Temple
was rich, the priests rotund, the
people reduced to mere pawns for the
priests. :Balances of deceit were there
to weigh the money 'and there
was no appeal. Exorbitant rates of
exchange 00 per cent, to 15 per cent)
on the half shekel which every wor-
shipper must pay in a Galilean coin,
and the Temple Sihylocks had a cor-
ner on the issue of !Galilean shekels.
Annas and C•aiapthas had decreed to
desecrate the Holy Tempile for
greed, The poor were crushed—the
mill ground exceedingly fine=antd it
was alt done in the name of religion.
The animal market so conveniennt —
but so conscienceless! Privately own-
ed beasts which were without blem-
ish were condemned as unfit for sac-
rifice, while blemished unmarketable
creatures were :blessed and offered for
sale for sacrifice at prices away above
the market—pigeons worth eight
cents were held at four dollars. `-
That was what Jesus saw on Palm
Sunday.
On Monday, early, He walked de-
liberately -without breakfast -after a
night of prayer, to carry out His pur-
pose. He stayed by the way only long
enough to blast a fig tree which had
no fruit on it, Then straight to the
Temple to blast a forth of religion
which had no fruit and straight to
the sellers' exchange, where He ov-
erturned the tables, spilled the •mon-
ey, With a avhip He drone out the
human element, declaring "Iit is writ-
ten 'My House shall be a house of
prayer,' blit you have made it a den
of thieves." Then He opened the
gates of the stalls and let the sheep
and cattle free, and .gently directed
them to the Temple gates IHe
ordered the pigeons to be carried out,
The dealers departed in hectic dis-
order. The pharisees stood helpless
by and cursed beneath their breath,
But—as these went out—others
carte in. Some carrying :their sick,
leading their blind, supporting their
lame, eager listeners, and Jesus
taught and healed and blessed.
All was quiet save for the voice of
Jesus as He taught, and the voice of
thanks as the people rejoiced. In that
court of babble there had conte
peace. The quietness attracted—and
as the people crowded in, they saw
the transformation, — and sighed,
"What a contrast,"
The children were the first to note
the difference. Those boys, sons of
the levites and priests, who sang in
the Temple choir—they knew the
Psalms of the Passover, the Psalms
of Ascent. As a group of then; enter-
ed the Temple court where Jesus was
and stood among the pillars, they saw
the changed conditions and began to
march around the multitude, singing
"Hosanna to the Son of David," Oth-
er lads from among the crowd foll-
owed then until the whole body of
boyhood in the Temple had joined
their chorus.
Jests stood, silently watching
them as they marched about, his face
all aglow with a new hope for Israel,
"'Their fathers have refused to accept
pie," Jesus thought, "perhaps the
children will not forget when they are
men",...:..fAnsi there was born - in
Jesus' thought, a prayer which found
utterance four days later,-4'Father,
forgive them for they know ,not what
they do."
. ,Feeling a hand tugging at his arm,
Jesus turned and found a hard grizzl-
ed face peering up into his, and heard
the demand for silence. "Make them
he quiet." 1Nay." Jesus said. "Have
ynu neve;•heard it said, Out of the
mouth of babes is ;try praise perfect-
ed'?"
Then Jesus taught agaieu. The
recple listened. Fear, awe,_ and faith.
-oh -melted them to listen. ....But,
yonder in the .high priest's room
there were ,plots iii the, staking to
destroy Jesus.
Night came again, and Jesus went
back to Bethany with his twelve.

Cleaning and Grading Fibre
Flax Seed for Export
When cleaning the fibre flax seed
for export the greatest care should
be taken to see that the seed is not
only cleansed up to standard grade b
is entirely free from noxious weed
seeds. The elimination; of ,broker;+,'
shrunken and darkened seeds greatly
increases the germination percentage
and improves the appearance so that
a much better price is received on the
export market.
Ontario Pastures
Over twenty-three per cent., or
one acre out of :every four of the im-

$40,000,000, O,E this, $34,0000,000 is de-
rived frdn dairy produce. Results `f
experiments have shown that by :pard
per nranagentet and .improving ta.
fertility of the soil, returns can be in-
creased from 100 to 200 per cent on
a very lenge proportion of pastures.
THE ROAD TO FAME
1A Southerner, noted for the liber-
ality of his tips, stopped at a Balti-
more hotel where colored porters pre-
dominated, His name was speedily
known to every member of the serv-
ing fraternity, and his every wish aat-
ticipated, Soon after his arrival he
sent his card' to a friend who made his
home in the hotel, but whose temper-
ament -happened to be quite opposite
of that of his open-handed caller-re-
tirirg, not given to tipping, or any
other forst of sociability, and who
therefore 'lived almost unknown to
those • about 'lt•i ni.
The old clarity who received' the
card studied it for a .full minute,
"Scuse pre, colonel," he said ,"but I
don't bleebe nobody by dat name
conte here dis pawning."
"This moaning!" returned the other,
"Of course not! Mn, .Blank has rived
here for months. You know my naive
well enough, and I haven't been here
a clay. Do you mean .to say you can't
remember a man who has made his
home here since some time last sum-
mer?„ _

compliment--"dat - dere's gem Mans
