PASSION WEEK,
C. A, M.
The 'Mid -Week Rest Day, before
Easter, A.D. 30,
,Wednesday was Jesus' mid -.week
rest day. Sunday, Monday and Tues-
day had 'been hard busy days; and
aHis"Roue' was near,
Jesus was ready, -and the Cross
was nearly ready, but the Disciples
were far from being ready,
(Frequently during the three years,
Jesus ']tad spoken of the Cross-,"De-
stray
ross 'De-stroy this temple, and in three days
T will raise it op" ..,, "I, if I be /lift-
ed ap', a. ", ' Tatke op your 'Cease...
"The 'Good S'heph'erd gives His life,
for 'His sheep..." "T7he evil husband -
men said 'Lot us 'kill (thin1'",,,
The twelve had heard buil they did
not unders'tan'd, and ,in their selfish-
ness they Forgot, , .lOn this day they
would 'hear again, and' though they
would understand a little better, yet
they would forget again -in selfish
n ess,
Jesus was testing, -serene, taint.
The Jews were :restless. Jesus' ab-
sence ,from the Temple that clay gave
them the opportunity to swing the
crowd aga'ins't Jesus. In the Temple
vestry s'c'hemes were set, and .plots
were hatched, In Caiaphas' manse the
Roman captain received his instruc-
tions. Spies were set to watch Jesus,
to note His Friends, add dis'c'over His
resorts. Jesus must be silenced I
"Business as usual in the Temple"
was the slogan of the Money chang-
ers and sellers of sacrilfices; Bttt the
Chief Priests were afraid that Jesus
night conte again, ,and cause a dis-
turbance, which Piilate would have to.
stamp out, . ,(Jesus must be arrested,
secretly.
13ut HOW',,,Judas arrived at the
vestry door to bargain for the be-
trayal of Jesus,
Then the plots deepened. A silenc-
ed and arrested Jesus is not enough.
Only whets jesus is dead will the
Pharisee be safe... therefore there
must be a sort of trial, and a cross!
Judas had been restive all that day!
The very Calm of :Jesus irritated him.
How- could Jestis 'he so content with
a few friends when the crowd at the
feast was ready to crown Him? ...
\Vhy did He talk of dying, and He in
:he prune of young manhood? Why so
enthusiastic over an emotional waste
of expensive perfume? \lrhy so eni-
n!tatic in His rebuke of Judas' eco-
nomy ?
ITow• much did Jesus know about
Judas' plans?
Linke a restive steed champing at
the bit, Judas tugged at the old lines
which held him to Jesus. •
He must get away front Jesus to
carry out his purpose. But HOW 7. , .
Why, he is reeasurer, and he buys al:
the things for the company, he will
go to t'he Temple to buy a Lamb for
the Passover Sacrifice!
Leisurely he set out to do so -,but
when he thought that 'he was out of
sight, his strides became longer and
['nicker., .almost on a run he reached
'he Temple. -
'His plates were made, his hopes
were high. 'GOLD' Ile should receive
for such a service.
In the vestry, we see Judas wrig-
glingunder the thumb pressure of the
temple authorities, With contempt
they regard hum -coward 1 and trait-
or! But they will use luni, though
they despise him.
Ile wants gold -they never mentio
money,
'He gives them the sign by whic
they will know Jesus -a kiss) -"Yes
Then they ignore inn, :See hi
sweat and squirm.
Fittallya he is compelled to as1
"Hot- much will you give me ? An
then they haggle over the price, ju
as they would over the price of
iamb or a pair of pigeons, till Juda
was willing to accept silver, and onl
thirty pieces at that -for that was tit
legal price of a slave. ,He was glad t
get so much,
The Chief (Priests went to the Ten
ple court where the collection bore
were, and opening the one whicl
was marked '`Tor Sacrifices' they tool
o"t the thirty pieces of silver w"liie
they dropped in to the hot handl o
iudas.
Thus, instead of buying a Passr ve
Lamb for the Twelve, he sold the
Pascal Lamb of God which would h
offered for the sins of the who
world.
In an hoar he was back ag.'cin a
11ethany-tortured now with a ter-
rible fear of failure. He had given his
word of honor °Judas' Word of 'Hon-
or!). I -Te must keep his bargain with
the evil Pharisees and deliver the in-
nocen1 Christ into the hands of the.
ChiefPriests and ;Scribes to stiffer and
to die.
Judas, 'bound by the price of blood
slept no more.
He had sold his restive soul to
evil, and while the restful Jesus
t in peace that Wednesday night,
sleepless eyes of Judas watched
ugh the dark - 1111 Thursday]
dawned.

Pruning Should ,Be Done
During the Dormant Season
'Pruning, as practised by the com-
mercial fruit -grower, should have two
eessentia'I objects: 'first, to train the
shape or grovnfh of the tree in a spe-
cific way, and second, to influence
the production of the fruit.
When speaking of training a fruit
tree,the purpose is not to mould a
beautiful or shapely object, but rath-
er a tree that is commercially ,profit-
able and capable of carrying its crop
without breakage of linitis. Further-
more, the proper pruning of a tree-'
will facilitate other orchard opera -'t
(lona such as spraying anti picking.
;Pruning may be clone at any time
during the dormant season, but late
;winter or early spring is preferable,
However, the amount and type of

Current Report
!Parts of Ontario are now beginning
to +fee'i the pinch of short supplies of
both hay=and grain due to poor crops
last summer. In recent reports from
agriculturai representatives, it was in-
dicated that the extreme severity of
the present winter, coupled with the
dwindling feed supplies, was lowering,
the vitality of stock. Bruce count'
mention; many casco of pneumonia
among cattle due to the cold, and
Muskoka and Parry Sound indicates
the livestock of the district are in
poor condition, due to the long, cold
wthatinter,
'Peel and 1Dufferin report grain and
hay scarce and many dairymen not
feeding for maximum production be-
cause of the high price of mill feeds.
In Prince Edward County and points
further east, there is every indication
that a great deal of hay will be need-
ed by cattle feeders and dairymen be-
fore the winter is through,
'Practically all counties ;mention
that any surpluses of hay are being
readily snapped up by neighbors who
are short and that prices range irons
$10 per ton in the western end of the
province to ;$16 and $1i8 on the Otta-
wa market for loose hay,

she grain whole without any lolling
whatever and, of course, there is no
danger from hulls and no worry of
excess fibre. "They make ready-made
poultry feed," states ,Bruce. Mellen-
bac'her, one of the largest growers at
Cayuga. 'Hog feeders who also must
be careful of fibre are finding more
use 'for the new oats, particularly for.
young pigs. Growers in the IHaldim
and district report good yields for Li-
berty hu'lless, Though last season was
by no means favoratble for any kind
of spring grain, Stephen ,Calver of
Rainham Centre reports an average
Cif 25 'bushels from his ten acre field,
while a neighbor, Wilfred ;Loucks, of
Soutl. Cayuga, had the sante yield io
twenty-five acres, These growers ex-
plain that the 'huliess weighed over
'50 pounds tolate bushea,'thet•efore g,iv
iatg a return of 11\12150: pounds of solid
,feed per acre. When the 30 to 35 per
cent hull of the 'o'rdinary" oat is .de-
ducted, and the diffetrence in weight
per bushel is taken into consideration,
'these yields: are equal to 50 'bushels
per acre for Banner, Ha'ld+.nta.n'd
