LIFE
OF OUR LORD".

CHAPTER THE TENTH
After a short time, Peter and an-
other Disciple took heart, and secret-
ly followed the guard to the house
of Caiaphas the High Priest, whither
Jesus was taken, and where the Scrib-
es and others were assembled to ques-
tion Hinz. Peter stood. at the door,
.but the other disciple, who was
known to the High •Priest, went in,
and presently returning, asked the
woman, who kept the door, to admit
Peter too, She; looking at him said,
"are you not one of the Disciples?"
He said "I am not." So she let hien
in; and he stood before a fire that was
there, warming himself among the
servants and officers who were crowd-
ed round it. For it was very cold.
Some of these men asked him the
same question as the woman had
done, and said. "are you not one of
the disciples?" He again denied it,
and said "I am not." One of them,
who was related to that man whose
ear Peter had cut off with his sword,
said, "Did I not see you in the gar-
den with him?" Peter again denied it
with an oath, and said, "I do not know
the man." Immediately the cock crew,
and Jesus turning round, looked
stedfastly at Peter. Then Peter re-
membered what He had said—that be-
fore the cock crew, he would deny
him thrice — and went out, and wept lease Barabbas, and Iet .this man be
bitterly.
Among other questions that were
put to Jesus, the High Priest asked
Him what He had taught the People.
To which He answered that Ile had
taught them in the open day, and in
the open streets, and that the Priests
should ask the people what they had
learned of Him. One of the officers
struck Jesus with his hand for this
reply; and two .false witnesses com-
ing in, said they had heard Him say
that He could destroy the Temple in
God, and build it again in three days.
Jesus answered little; but the Scribes
and Priests agreed that He was guilty And they ill-used him in many cruel
of blasphemy, and should be put to ways, but Jesus bore it patiently, and

on the ground, after Death, all bruis-

see! The chief Priests, not knowing
what to do with the Thirty Pieces of
Silver, bought a burying -place for
strangers with it, the proper name of
which was The Potters' Field. But
the peoplecalled it The Field of
Blood ever afterwards.
Jesus was taken from the High
Priests to the Judgment Hall where
Pontius Pilate, the Governor, sat, to
administer justice. Pilate (who was
not a Jew) said to Him "your own
nation, the Jews, and your own
Priests have delivered you to me.
What have you done?" Finding that took him away,
he had done no harm, Pilate went out (Continued Next Week)

and told the Jews so; but they said
"He has been teaching the people
what is not true and what is wrong;
and he began to do so, long ago, in
Galilee." As Herod had the right to
punish people who offended against
the law in Galilee, Pilate said, "I find
no wrong in him. Let him be taken
before Herod!"
They carried Him accordingly be-
fore Herod, where he sat surrounded
by his stern soldiers and men in ar-
mour. And these laughed at Jesus,
and dressed hind, in mockery, in a fine
robe, and sent him back to Pilate.

In answer to Reeve Eckert's in-
quiry, Clerk Roberts said there are
81 constables in Huron County of
whom 15 are active.
Reeve McNab asked regarding the
duties of the Cemetery Commission.
He declared it would be in order to
send a request to the Provincial Gov-
ernment to see what could be done
regarding neglected cemeteries.
Reeve Bowman: "The act gives au-
thority to clean up the cemeteries. A

County Clerk Roberts gave a de-
tailed report of the work of his of-
fice. He gave detailed and clear des-
criptions of new methods installed,
and was heartily applauded.
Too Many Schools.
At the request of the Council A.
T. Cooper, of Clinton,' who represent-
ed the Huron County Branch of As-
sociated High School Boards, gave an
appreciated address on "Secondary
School Education." As the result of
a circular letter sent out to one hund-
red business men and mechanics to
find out what they thought of the pre-
sent school curriculum, it was reveal-
ed that $5 per cent. of them were of
the opinion that it does not meet the
demands of modern tizzies; and that
there were too many frills. Vocation-
al training gives something definite.
He thought there were too many
schools in. the County and that agri-
culture should be taught in all public
schools as .Huron's basic industry is
farming.'
Reeves Archibald and Wright mov-
ed a vote of thanks to Mr. Cooper,
Ivtr. Wilson, of Hamilton, was
heard regarding the installation of a
stoker -system in the Court House at
a cost of $650. Finally on motion of
Reeves Cardiff and Mawhinney it was
decided not to purchase the stoker at
the present time.
Discuss Mileage Rate.
On the request of Reeve Gold-
thorpe, an article printed in the Mir- i
on Expositor and copied in the God- f
erich Star, which criticised salaries
paid, to the county officials, and mile- 2
age paid councillors; was read by the
In many localities marked changes
have been accomplished.
Mr. ,Sinith read a departmental des-
cription of the dodder weed, the Eng-
lish names for which are. love vine,
lesser or thyme dodder. The clover
infested with it should be blown down
with a. scythe, destroyed and the field
ploughed,
Crops Not Promising
Ian McLeod, Agricultural Represen-
tative, in an informative address, told
council the crops. in Huron are not'
as pronnising looking as in past years.
"We have been credited in this coun-
ty- with high' acreage in fruit and vege-
tables; largely apples." Frost has
done considerable damage, and 80 per
cent. of the fruit crop has been injur-
ed, particularly Baldwins, greenings,
pippins and spies. The peach and pear
orchards are all gone..
There is a change in the county
this year in 'that several farmers are
planting more hay crops, and this is
providing pasturage. Many are plant-
ing corn and will have two or three
times the acreage of corn this year.
Live stock meeting have been held
in Clinton and 'a county association
formed. It is purposed to hold a meet-
ing for cattle dealers in Clinton on
June 27. They have never got toge-
ther to discuss beef cattle.

crucified!"
Barabbas was a wicked criminal, in
jail for his crines, and in danger of
being put to death.
Pilate, finding the people so deter-
mined against Jesus, delivered him to
the soldiers to be scourged—that is,
beaten. They plaited a crown of
thorns, and put is on his head, and
dressed Him in a purple robe, and
spat upon him, and struck him with
their hands, and said, "Hail, King of
the Jews!"—remembering that the
crowd had called him the Son of Dav-
id when he entered into Jerusalem.

tion of Messrs. Sanders and Gold-

inend that this material be applied as
