I, CHRIST'S PROTEST REGARDING THE SANCTITY OF THE HOME, 2-0, . II- HIS BLESSING OF THE OHILDREN, 13-16, INTRODUCTION—Wo find, our Deed concerned to uphold the sanctity of the home against current tendencies to disrupt it and to weaken its in- ihtence. In particular he protests the laxity of current ideas of divorce, Divorce was permitted, under certain circumstances, by the Mosaic Law (went, 24) ,. but many of the Jews live apt to "interpret this permission ns though it meant that divorce had a place la God's holy will for mem Jesus denied that this was so, The Old Testament law was not a sanc- tioning ane-tionn g of divorce, but only a te,npor- ery alinission of the tragic fact that sinful human nature fails tri live up ±0 Goct's holy ideal for the home. Over against this temporary concession of divorce as the lesser of two evils is a fallen eareletion of human nature, Jee.o sets the original will of God in creelicn, and forbids divorce as en- tirely contrary to that will: Upon this declaration of the sane - tit” a4 n,erri•age, Christ's blessing on little children suitably follows, I. CHRIST'S PROTEST REGARDING THE SANCTITY OF THE H0ME, 2-9, V. 2, The qucetion whether the di- vorce of a wife by a husband is lawful is put to Jesus by certain Pharisee Their motive is. rightly declared, to have been of dubious honesty. 'What they wished was to involve Jeeus in some pronouncement to which they could give an anti -legal sense, and so ,discredit frim with the people. Observe that the law did not in any came per- mit a wife to divorce a husband, Vs, 3, 4. Jesus' answer is to refer his questioners to the Iaw. Whet did Moses ordain in this natter? They reply by quoting the permission grant- ed in Pout. 34: 1-4. The scribes at that time were all agreed that divorce of a wife was legal: they only differed as to the grounds on which it might be minted. Some of them were no- toriously lax on this particular point. They considered that any trifling dis- agreement or dislike constituted a valid ground. And so they threw to the winds the holy intention of God !n marriage, The words "bill of di- vorcement" mean really "a separation notice." It was considered that di- vorce was justified if it was carried out in legal form. Vs. 5-9. Jesus at once negatives the whole idea that divorce has any place in the will of God. The Mosaic legis- lation on the subject he declares en- tirely clue to the "hard-heartedness" of the Israelitish nation. They bad from primeval times practiced the custom of divorce, and what Moses emelt to do was to curb this license. Jesus' repudiation of divorce is here made on three grounds (1) The law in Deuteronomy had relation merely to a "hard-hearted" time, an imper- fect stage of society, v. 5. (2) The true will of God is expressed in the original creation of the family and of the marriaaee-bond, v. 6. (3) The marriage -inion is holier than any other union on earth, holier even than the relatien of children to parents, v, 7. eon+egeontly, Jesus says that, if men desire to know the will of God, it is rein. Husband and wife form an indissoluble partnership, nay, a e'ns;e personality in God's eyes, v. 8. Therefore, the bond between then, be- lies constituted by fiat of the divine w('l. must not be broken. This is the only rerfect ideal for man, as God inteeled him to be. Ii, ens BUSSING OF TAE CHILDREN, 13-16. V. 12. It was the custom for moth- ers to seek a blessing for their chil- dren from any distinguished Rabbi or tPncher of religion who passed through their midst, and so we find them here coming with their children to Jesus. His disciples, however, showing in this natter a very im- perfect understanding of Jesus' warns human sympathies, tried to hold them back. How, they argued, could he who had on his mind the solemn in- terests of the kingdom of God, be ex- pected to concern himself about chit-, dren? Surely children at such a time' ' were beneath the Master's notice! V. 14. But the dsciples in this rime! ter had reckoned without their hest. Jesus; was indignant at their unwar-1 'ranstable interferenee, and of once commanded the children to be brought.

Customs Cruiser Roughly Treated Bayhound, at Moorings in Saint John, Suffers From Mysterious Blast St. oJhn, N.B., April 1.—A terrific explosion aboard the customs preven- tive cruiser Bayheund, in port here, shattered the after -section of the ves- sel Saturday afternoon, The cause of the explosion lies not bean deter- mined. Captain John Faulkner and his crew were in the forward part of the boat and were unharmed, The Bay - hound was moored at the harbor end of Nos 6 and 7 berths, Sand Point, and had arrived Saturday from a cruise in the bay. Members of the crew and workmen in the f deight sheds nearby were startled by a loud blast. The stern of the cruiser was raised nearly out of the waters es she tugged at her mooring lines; splinters and pieces of wood were blown high in the air and "there was general con- fusion. As soon as Captain Faulkner, his officers and men recovered from the shock, an examination of the vessel was made. It was found that the hull of the cruiaer was undamaged and the craft was not leaking, but the afterdeck part of the craft was a com- plete wreck. For a space of about ten feet square the deck planks wore ripped and bro- ken, and the deck beams were demol- ished. The heavy wooden railing sus- pended on iron stanchions about the afterpart of the ship was smashed to pieces and blown overboard, while the ironwork was twisted. A flat -bottom boat buts ing to thgavits old echo starboard quarter of the vessel had its stern blown off, leaving only about two-thirds of the boat hanging by the bow ropes. The short train mast used for the suspension of the wireless gear was broken off in the centre, and a smell gaff for a flag was broken in two. The wireless gear was strewn about the afterpart of the ship. An examination under deck showed much damage. The explosion appear- ed to be caused in the section where a number of storage batteries had been stored to supply the vessel with electric power for wireless and other use. Tho Bayhound only went on duty again last week, having been laid up for some time to have new powerful engines installed and to receive a gen- eral overhauling. It is said that the next war will cast the United States $500,000,000,- •D00. Is Tex Rickard going to stage it? FLOWERS and VEGETA LES No, 9 Annual Flowers, With a little planning amnesia will give continuous bloom from Jane nn 211 frost, but of course Judgment mus be used in the selection of varieties. The earliest bloomers must be plant- ed as soon as the snow disappears., These will come ap "with the first warm days of early Spring, defy the frosts and keep on growing. In Chia elves will come the cornflowers,' 005•. mos, annual larkspurs, calendulas, and several others, It is only necessary to thin these out end cultivate a little Many of them, the poppies especially, are difficult to transplant, and allow- ying them to sow themselves in the Fall or sprinkling the seed over the soil or snow now is the best way to handle them. For mid-season bloom, al-lltug, there Is the phlox, marigolds, cel - 1 llopes, iopsls, salpiglosis, and nasturtiums. Vorbeuas and ten weeks stocks will begin to make a line display toward the end of July and continue for the rest of the year. Petunias will also come along about this time and ear- lier if given a start in the hot bed. Zinnias will be nicely in bloom by August and the asters about the same time. Cosmos and sa'ivia will bright- en up the garden from September on. Deep Cultivation for Peas. The deeper the soil is cultivated, the more sugar there wil be in the Peas. This vegetable requires cool soil for its roots, to produce its maxi- mum crop. By loosening up the soil to a considerable depth the roots are allowed to penetrate for food and moisture and remain coot With April nearly over it Is time to think about getting In the earlier types. In this class will come the round seeded sorts which will stand slightly more frost than the liner quality wrinkled peas. Do not sow while the weather is still cold and damp, however, of the seed is liable to rot 1n the ground. For small gardens probably more crop will be produced from the climbing types which caa,be supported on brush or chicken wire. Where one does. not waut to go to the trouble of providing a support of tilts kind, however, the !dwarf types which, if grown in double ' rows, will support themselves, are more desirable. Make sowings a week apart as the pea erolil a short one, Growing Good Spinach., Spinach is now a standard Canadian vegetable, and is a most • convenient gone to grow. It is hardy, light frost having little effect on It. To be ten- der it must be grown very quickly. Spinach requires a well puvetized rich soil, and it must be grown in the cool weather. A quick acting fertilizer such fes nitrate of secneis recommend- ed for hale crop. Soine of the newer Danish or Nen; Zealand types are best. Plants should be thinned to flee inches apart ,and the foliage may be cut down several times and it ' will grow again. Where the gardener must depend continually on commercial fertilizers an application of hydratetd lime, about one pound to two square yards, should be made every year. Lime is used to sweeten the soil. Very light soils 'well be benefited with plenty of strawy manure, and the same treatment plus a Little appiiea- tion of ashes or sand will loosen up clay. In uncovering the perennials care must be exercised not to disturb such early growers as tulips, and other Fall planted bulbs, which will now be pushing their way through the. soil. How much more pleasant bridge would be if pleople would be dumb in- stead of acting dumb. Wyandotte Lays Twice a Day; Arouses Anger of "Union" Hens London.—A. white Wyandotte hen belonging to F.

C .: nada's Wealth Increased in Arctic Says Mr. Massey Dominion Finding Unknown Treasure of Mineral on Northern Frontier Three Ocean Boundaries San Francisco. -Canada is adding another ocean to her avenuesof tran^S- portation, }Ion, Vincent Massey, Cann adieu Minister to the United States, said in the course of an aridness be- fore the Comniontivealth Club. In- stead of thinking do terms of two ocean boundaries we now have an- other, says Mr. Massey. "We era only beginning to take a third, the Arctic, into our national consciousness, and we are building another gateway to. the world's commerce,at Fort Church- on IIudson Bay. "Nature has been good to us," said Mr. Massey. "We are only beginning to understand how good she hays been. But nature has, imposed upon us the. test of geographical obstacles, and we leave had to overcome those obstacles before nature's trusteeship was re- linquished. -- "Our confliot with nature was on the Western frontier at first. For years we called the West barren lands, because there wore no trees en $hem. The delusion of barrenness has gone. itecently an Arborta wheat field con- twining 1,300 acres produced a crop of 57 bushels of wheat to the acre. SOLVING A PROBLEM.
