To the Holders of
WA LOA\ AND
VIC ' • RY BONDS
A Statement by the Minister of Finance
N THE dark days of the War, Canadians loaned to the
I
Government of the Dominion many hundred in -Mims of
dollars to enable the operations of the Allies to be carried
to a successful conclusion.
When Canadians loaned their money to the Government, they
received bonds which were promises to repay them the sum
loaned with interest at the rate of 5% or 534% per annum. On
the 1st of October next, $53,000,000 of these bonds become
due; on the 1st of November, 1932, the maturity will be
$73,000,000; on the 1st of November, 1933, $446,000,000;
and, in 1934, $511,000,000 must be provided for.
It wouldnot be prudent, either in the interest of the security
holders or the country itself, to wait until these loans become
due before providing for their payment or conversion. Action
must be taken well in advance of the due dates to protect the
credit of the country. The Government believes this an oppor-
tune time to afford Canadians the opportunity to exchange the
bonds, which they own maturing in the next few years, for new
•bonds of the Dominion of Canada. carrying interest at the rate
of 4%% per annum, which is a very attractive return. Prior to
the maturity date of the present bonds, those who accept this
offer will, of course, •continue to be paid interest at the rate as
provided by the bonds they exchange.
Canadians who have always shown confidence in their country
are earnestly invited to exchange the bonds they now own
for bonds of the new issue. By so doing, they will render
less difficult the task of providing for the future finances of the
country, will enhance its credit and will greatly assist the
Government in the present period of worldwide readjustments.
No money will be asked for and no new bonds will be sold at
this tithe. It is proposed to limit the present conversion to
$250,000,000, but the Government has the right at its discre-
tion to increase the amount if Canadians indicate a general desire
to continue their investments in the securities oftheir Dominion.
The subscription books will close on the 23rd of May.
I earnestly seek the active support of my fellow Canadians„in
making this conversion, which is one of the largest financial.
operations our country has undertaken in recent years, credit-
able alike to Canada and its citizens.
Minister of Finance.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE
PASSOVER.
And the day of unleavenedbread
came. The fourteenth of Nisan. All
leaven was carefully put away during
the preceding day on which the pass -
over 'must be 'sacrificed. The pass -
over lamb was slain by a priest in the
temple, was thein cooked, and eaten
at a private house.
And he sent Peter and John. The
disciples closest to Jesus, ;who could
be depended upon not to disclose His
whereabouts. Saying, Go and make
ready for us the passover, that we
may eat. John 13:1, 20 implies that
Christ's last supper with His discip-
les was not the regular passover meal
but a meal to which He gave an an-
ticipatory character, and that our
Lord was crucified, the next day, at
the hour when the passover Iambs
were slain in the lie temple. Scholars
are almost evenly divided on this
question.
And they said unto hint, Where
wilt thou that we snake ready?
Christ's arrangements in regard to
the colt on whieh he rode into Jeru-
salem would suggest to them that the
Lord 'might have made arrangements

similarly in regard to the passover.
And he said unto them, Behold.
This word directs their special 'at-
tention to what He will tell' them,
much like "Listen!" When ye are
entered into the city, Implying that
they were to look as soon as they
carne inside the wall There shall
you meet a man bearing a pitcher of
'water. The carrying of water was a
duty performed by women, and a man
at the task would be quite noticeable,
Follow him into the house whereinto
he goeth. Jesus had supernatural
foreknowledge of what would hap-
pen; we are not told.
And ye shall say unto the master
of the house. The water -bearer was
evidently not the head of the house-
holcl, The Teacher saith unto theee..
The master of the house was plainly
a disciple, one who owned Christ as
his Teacher, Where is the guest.
chamber, where I shall eat the pass-
over with my disciples? It was cus-
tomary for Jews to be very hospit-
able and according to the
r g Talmud
they would not let rooms for hire at
this feast.
And he will show you a large up-
per room furnished. 'Supplied with
couches and tables kr the feast.
There make ready. The lamb was
to be cooked, the wine, ainleavened
breast, and bitter herbs were to be
obtained, with the cup and dishes.
And they went, and found as he
had said unto thein: 'and they made
ready the passover,. It was generally
supposed that Mark had in this home
that intimate' association with Peter
which seems to be reflected so clear-
ly in the Gospel by Mark,
THE LORD'S SUPPER
TN'STITUTED,
And when the hour was come.
Probably, as Jesus was so anxious
that this last sacred hour with His.
disciples should not be interrupted' by
His arrest, they would not arrive
from Bethany until the evening shad-
ows had wrapped Jerusalem. He sat
down, and the apostles with him, The
passover at first was eaten standing,
in remembrance of the haste in which
the first passover was eaten, just be-
fore setting out on the exodus.
And he •said unto them, Witli 'de-
sire I have desired. A literal 'trans-
lation of a Hebrew expression mean-
ing, "I have earnestly desired," To
eat thispassover with you before I
suffer, Whether it was the regular
Jewish passover or not, it was cer-
tain that our Lord meant it to take
the place of that feast.
For I say unto you, Christ speaks
with as great ,emphasis as possible.
I shall not eat.it. The evident mean-
ing is, "I shall not eat it again." Un-
til it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God, That is, our Lord knew that
He would not eat again with His dis-
ciples until the kingdom of God
should be ushered in by His death qn
the cross, a sacrifice which fulfilled
the prediction of the real meaning of
the passover which had been cele-
brated for so many centuries.
And he received a cup. Four cups
of wine were drunk during the . cele-
bration of the Jewish passover, and
this may have been the third cup,
And wh'en he had given thanks. Four
benedictions were pronounced at four
stages of the passover feast. He said

selves. It was plainly an iutroduc-
tory cup, preliminary to the institu-
tion of the Lord's supper.
For 1 say unto you. Another enz-
phatic sentence calling attention to
the -_solemn, final character of the
feast, I shall not drink from hence-
forth of the fruit of the vine. The
benediction pronounced over the first
cup, in the regular passover • ritual,
was, "Blessed be thou, 0 Lord ' our
God, who hast created, the - fruit of
the vine." Until the kingdom of God,
shall come. As before. Christ refers
to then coming of the kingdom of God
through His death on the cross.
And he took bread. One of the
cakes of unleavened bread, furnished.
as part of the passover meal. And.
when he had given thanks. As He
gave thanks before the feeding of the
five thousand (Luke 9:16) and was
known to the two from Emmaus by
His blessing of the bread (Luke 24:
30, 35). He brake it, and gave to
thein, The breaking of the bread
that each might have a portion, was
also a symbol of the breaking of our
Lord's body on the cross: see 1 Cor.
A:24, margin. Saying, This is my
body which is given for you. The
plain meaning, .since Christ was still
in His mortal body, is that the bread
was a symbol of that body. This do
in remembrance of me. Christ was
inaugurating a commemoration which
He desired to be permanently observ-
ed by all who should hold Him in
loving memory.,
And the cup in like manner after
supper. This corresponds • with the
fourth cup of the Jewish passover
drunk after the supper, and called
"the cup of joy." Saying, Ths cup
is the new convenant in my blood.
From this verse comes : our name,
"The New Testament," which is more
accurately translated, "The New Cov-
enant" in the Revised Edition. Even
that which is poured out for you.
"For you," as taking your place, suf-
fering the death clue you because of
your sins, making atonement for you.
But, behold, thehand of him that
betrayeth me is with me on the table.
The '"sup" which Judas received was
(John 13:30) a part of the .prelim-
inary meal.
But woe unto that man through
whom he is betrayed! Of course the
treachery of Judas was no part of the.
foreordained plan of salvation.
And they began to question among
iemselves, which of them'it was that
.could do this thing. The dismay
:td perplexity of those honest and
cuing men are set forth in the ac-
.ount written by the beloved disciple,
John 13: 21-30, None of them sus-
pected.. Judas.

ASSOCIATE SECRETARY
Of all the diseases which afflict
mankind, by far thelargest percent-
age are due to bacteria, or disease -
germs -our Invisible foes.
They are invisible to the naked eye,
but are revealed by the microscope.
They, have been studied, and the hab-
its and characteristics of some of
their arewell known. They have
their individual peculiarities whereby
they differ one from the, other; some
go singly, others in pairs; some are
oval, others are rod -shaped; one likes
onekind of food better than others
do; and so the list might go on to
a great length. While disease germs
differ one from the other, they have
points of similarity. For instance,
they must get into the body if they
are 'to cause disease, and most of.
them find their way in through the
mouth. Another point which they
have in common is that they are un-
able to withstand drying and sun-
shine. As a matter of fact, they die
off fairly quickly outside of the body.
To exist, they need moisture, warmth
and darkness.
It is obvious, then, that it is desir-
able to keep disease germs from pass-
ing between our lips into the dark,
moist interior of the body where
they have every opportunity to cause
mischief. .
One frequent way for this to hap-
pen is when the germs we have pick-
ed up on our fingers and hands get
into our mouth's because of the habit
we have of touching our lips, of put-
ting the fingers into the mouth, or of
touching food with unwashed hands.
A considerable amount of disease
is a hand-to-mouth affair, As we go
about our daily routine, our hands are
certain to, become soiled. We shake
hands with a person who has just
coughed or sneezed behind his hand,
or who has used his handkerchief that
is soiled with secretions. We touch
numerous articles which have been
touched by other people with hands:
soiled by their body secretions. As.
our hands are usually warm -and'
moist, these conditions favor the ex-
istence of the germs.
it does not matter if germs are on
the hands as long as they stay there.
The unbroken skin is a barrier to
germs. The danger lies in introduc-
ing any germs which may be on the
hands into the mouth or nose. This
danger can be avoided if we make it
a point never to put our unwashed:
hands to our faces, excepting when
using a handkerchief, and never to
touch food unless ' we have thorough-
ly washed our hands.
No matter how clean they look, the
hands should always be given a thor-
ough washing before meals or be-
fore preparing food, and they should'
be wiped on the person's own towel
only. It is quite dangerous to use
a common towel as it is not to wash
at all.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 134 College St., Toronto,
