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.

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 IIU.nIN.IIM+N,M1➢µNf�u;::.l.nw� eeeesseseem 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!"

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 Take this, and divide it among your - ThereHere an d white Legnurn nen "No Drone 513" from Port Kelns,B.C., laid 357 eggs in 365 days, qualifying: her as champion egg layer.

Miss Margaret Stevenson, of Ed- monton, has succeeded to the crown of the next Banff Winter Carnival, 'following Miss Doris Parkes, of Vancouver, last year's Queen. The election was the dos- ing feature of a very successful meet. W. E. Brissenden, of Montreal, has been appointed Development Engineer, Department of Develop- ment, Canadian Pacific Railway.

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.

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.
