Lesson XIII-a.Review, Isaiah 2; 24 'Golden Text—Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. —Matthew 16: 16. What does it mean to be a disciple Of Christ? We have been studying the life and ministry of :Jesus for six months, Have we come to a clearer understanding .of what is involved in being his disciple? You recall how, at the; outset of his ministry, he called a little group to come with him to be- come fishers of inen, to work and to fellowship with him toward the realiz- ing;of the kingdom. IIow have we seen their conception of discipleship change or grow? What are the conditions of becom- ing his disciple? Perhaps we should ask first, what does it mean to be a disciple? A disciple is a learner, one who is under the instruction and fel- lowship lowship of a teacher or leader. Might we say that a disciple is one who is, learning through personal fellow, hip ;with Jesus what it means to live? Who, then, may be his disciples? Happily that opens the way to all. It is not a perfect life that is essential in order to become a disciple. Rather the con- dition would seem to be a sense of teed, a. response to the attractiveness and challenge of Christ, a feeling that he has what our lives need in order for their completion and satisfaction, a hunger for life in a larger way. We may, not know all it involvee at the beginning. Certainly his disciples slid not. Then if the .disciple is learning what it means to live in Gods way he must increasingly and everywhere accept the stand arcis of life which o' esus taught and embodied in hie oar, lire. That should Like us hack to !ootr• z: some of the standards of the. Christiane way as Jesus taught them i,i the Ser- mon on the Ccunt. (Matt.. chap 5 especially.) Then, too, we should re- call here the lesson of April 6th on the Law of the Cross, of April 20th On the Spirit r-'. Forgiveness, of April 27th and June let, on the Principle of Stewardehii, cf May 4th. on the Prin- ciple of Service. Whet are some of the life-stamlaria for 2 Christian dis- ciple as seen in Pratt. chap. 5? Can selfishness and the law of the cross exist side by side in the same life? • What place has the spirit of forgive- ness in the life cf a disciple? In what sense must the Christian disciple be a steward? But being a disciple of Christ in- volves a program of life that aims at the reign of love. , The disciple must share the spirit of his Master, his passion for the realizi.-g of the king- dom of love and righteousness in all the life of earth. Can one be a dis- ciple and an idle onloker in the world's struggle toward a better day? See the lesson of May 4th on the Spirit of Service arid of June 22 on the Great Commission, The lessor. of February 23rd showed the sending forth of the twelve disciples to be messengers and workers for the kingdom's coming. What are you as his disciples doing to bring in that kingdom? Can we be his disciples and not do our best, all that is within our power to do? ' . Of cnnrse the secret of our diseiple- shin will be in the fellowship we have with Christ, and the worship and ex- perience of Clod made possible through that fellowship. British Merchants Told to Advertise London.—Lord Riddell, chairman of the British Newspaper Proprietors' Association, told delegates to the Im- perial Press Conference here recently that, in his opinion, increase in United States foreign trade was due largely . to that country's advertising. He urged home manufacturing and merchants to advertise both at home and abroad, r`leclaring: "It gives one .a pang to look at overseas and colon- ial newspapers and se the preponder- ance of American advertising. I love America and love Americans, but I don't want to see the world American- ized." London:—Sit' Frederick Williams- Taylor, vice-president of the Bank of Montreal, has issued a heartening statement here upon the prospects of a slow but sure American witness re- vival, In a letter to the London Times, Sir Frederick says, "the general average of commodity prices should become firmer when business again percept - broadens which,, may not be until well into the fall or even later. That a high consumption of goods depends upon a high state of general pros- perity is becoming 'More clearly real- ized. Efficient management appears to be oae of the chief factors that will keep business ou the right side of the ledger throughout the present era of sharply changing conditions. "Despite irregularities, there are abundant proofs of the stability of de- mand in a number of basic commodi- ties. Expenditures on some luxuries have been curtailed and there are many other signs that the foundations are being laid for building prosperity anew. Lower money rates the world over, should help to stablize prices and even strengthen them, particularly those prices that are determined in in- ternational markets. The prospect is for continuance of the plentiful credit supply, and mod- erate interest rates prevailing 'since the beginning of the year. The number of fast-growing newer industries, embracing those particular- ly in which electricity plays a part, especially in motion picture, radio and aeronautical industries, are making marked progress with large possibili- ties for future development."

Aus- tralia, ustralia, says a recent report of the Commonwealth Prickly -Pear Board in Brisbane, Queensland, as a part of that continent's long campaign to rid itself of the American cactus plant, locally called the prickly pear, intro- duced thre years ago, which has now spread as' a weed .over vast areas of once -useful land. Dr. E. E. Free thus comments in his Week's Science (New York) : "In Mexico and the southwestern parts of the United States, where these cactus plants are native, theY have many insect and other enemies. The result is that they seldom spread outside the purely desert parts of the country, where almost no other plant will grow, and where the land is vir- tually useless. In Australia, where no cactus 'ever had lived, these insects and other cactus-ep,ters were lacldng. Once introduced there,. the cactus found nothing to limit its growth. Mang as usual; is paying the bill for the careless introduction. Some years ago scientific men conceived the idea of introducing into Australia insect enemies of the cactus plants from other lands. One of these was the cochineal insect, which. lives on the cactus plants in Mexico, and from which the red dye of that name is made."

Duke of Montrose Owns BY ANNABELLE WORTHINGTON Famous Hotel as Well as illustrated Dreg 'nolcixy Ben Lomond and Lock wished .With. Every Lomond Aterfoyle, Scot.—All who have read Sir Walter Scott's stirring ro- mance "Rob Roy," will be interested in the announcement that the famous 'Baffles Nicol Jai vie Hotel at Aber foyle is for sale. Like the islands of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomand, the hotel belongs to the Duke of Mont- rose. The hotel, however, is not the original inn, the eite of which lies about erne mile west and marked only by a few stones. Readers of "Rob Roy" will remem- ber how a brawl took place among the soldiers in Jean M'cAlphir,e"s Inn, and how the talkative Bailie Nicol Jarvis from the Glasgow Sautmarket because ir•.volved. The wrath of this worthy magistrate was aroused by the slighting references made to Ms trade as a weaver, and he seized a red-hot, poker and macre for the bare. legs of•the Highlanders. In the midst of this tumult came Dougal Cratur from under the table where he had been hiding, and brandishing his clay- more laymore affirmed his intention of "fecht- ing" for the Bailie. Near the modern Bailie Nicol Jarvis Hetet is an old oak tree upon which hangs a piece of metal claimed to be the veritable poker used by the incensed Bailie. It may be remark- ed that this poker receives from time to time a dab of red paint to increase its:'realisin, and for many years now it has been gazed upon by the numer= ous tourists, who find their way to the Trossachs.

Lesson Fur - Pattern Rural Education in' Ontario. Disease Kills Many Years Before Time The Hot Lunch and Supervised Play Tltis is not the time to 'have hot lunches in rural schools; bet there is no harm in thinking about the mat- ter. The faet is that we move slowly, and if we do not think ahead, very lit- tle is accomplished in the way of im- provement, Hot noon lunches :at school have many advantages in' the winter, IA the first place the children. enjoy them, and the result is that the youngsters bay.e better health. At the present time, too many children, who- cannot go home at noon, fre- quently have to eat a cold lunch un- der quite unpleasant conditions. Then, . too, the value of proper eating in an. orderly manner cannot- be over esti. mated. While on a trip with the late In. spector John Waugh ,the writer. visit. ed a large. school where the hot lunch • it was not her. �u where served' but was , served in a proper manner. The child• ren received their hot soup and placed it on a table on which books, school hags, and caps were scattered. In Spector Waugh was properly angry to see such carelessness, and he made the pupils remove the. books, bags and caps` ,and sit in a decent manner at the table. The moral effect of a pro- perly conducted table, where the meal is started by the saying of grace, is a great help to the school discipline. The cost of the hot lunch need not be great. Generally the children are glad to taks turns to provide the main article of the hot part of the lunch—some milk, tomatoes, potatoes —nothing expensive, and nothing to cause a lot of trouble to cook. ' Cooking is done by the children, un. der the supervision of the teacher, and this privilege is secured as a reward for having their school work well and quickly done. A wise teacher will. not do much of the work herself, but will use the opportunity for practical in- struction, and for inspiring the child: ren to do their best to have a well cooked dish, and a properly set and decently conducted table. Supervised Play Public Should Wake Up Health Organizations are Agreed Toronto.— Leading health organiza- tions of Canada are unanimous in stating that thousands of Canadians are dying years ahead of their time of diseases which could be prevented. During the past few weeks three dif- ferent health organizations, the Social Iygient Council, the Ontario Medical Association, and the Ontario. Health Officers held annual meetings 'here. And all three agree that diphtheria and typhoid fever could swiftly be stamped out if the general public were not too shiftless to take advant- age of methods of prevention which medical science has provided; that thousands of individuals could prolong their lives many years by submitting to a careful thorough physical exam- ination once a year, in a word, that prevention of disease is better than cure. "When three reputable organiza- tions, representing different phases of the work of public health, are in con- plete accord upon such important mat- ters at ters as these," stated Dr. Gordon P. Jackson, Toronto Medical Officer of Health, "the general public would do well to heed their advice.' • Quebec Soon to Have 19 Rural Health Units Quebec continues to outstrip the reet of Canada in her strikingly mod- ern treatment of rural health probe lams. Two new country health units —small, full-time medical departments of health, serving rural areas, and re- placing the old-style, part-time medi- cal officer of health—are shortly to be established. One will be in Rimouski, the other Frontenac. When they are operating, Quebec will have 19 Health Units, car- rying on, their operations in twenty- three countries. Public health authorities are agreed that the changes being made in Que- bec in this regard virtually constitute a health revolution. The entire pro- vince became "sold" on. the health unit idea when the original Unit in Beauce County demonstrated its abili- ty to save scores of lives during the first two years of its operation. Now all classes in the community are solid- ly behind the idea. The clergy is especially active in encouraging it. Prince Edward Island Attacking Diphtheria Canada's tiniest province is far from being Canada's most backward pro- vince insofar as health management are concerned. Au active campaign of diphtheria immunization is now in pro- gress there. The Provincial Board of Health is determined to wipe this dis- ease out, as it has been wiped out by knew enough about the game to be skillful and persistent public health referee, so a local boy was pressed, in to service, and his decisions were al- ways obeyed without question. That is the play spirit that should be developed; and it should be de- veloped in as many pupils as possible. It is well to remember that the poor players need the discipline and train - ing rain ing of the games more than the pupils who take naturally to sport, and who are able to shine in this field of ac- tivity.—Samuel Fanner, President of Canadian School Trustees' Assn. `.3436 Enhance your charm by wearing flattering jacket costumes. he al archieves have been found three It a season of jackets. old engravings' dated about 1600, de- The one sketched is in green crepe Dieting the deaths of some of the silk ,print in combination with egg - eight Canadian missionaries, lsain by shell.

Ottawa—The only Eskimo dentist in Write your name and address plat the world is dead. "Siberian Mike," who had attended no college but who was celebrated throughout the far north for pulling molars, died recent- ly in the lonely region near Perry River opposite King William land, ac- cording to word received here. In 1922 the Hudson's Bay Company sent a dentist to Herschel Island and Mike was employed as a dental mechanic, When the dentist left for civilization, the Eskimo had carried on an itiner- ant practice. • "It's a genuine antique, sir." "But You are asking a fearful price for it" "Well, sir, look how wages and the cost of materials have gone up!" We take it for granted that children should be supervised during school hours. All that may be gained by such supervision may be lost if there is no supervision at the lunch or dur- ing play time. It is during these periods that the school bully spreads - terror among the timid ones, and the school sneak does those things that upset the morale of the school. There is no doubt that supervised play will mean a busy time for the teacher, and at times a supervised noon hour will be well nigh imposs ible. But a growing number of teach- ers are undertaking these extra duties and are establishing a point of con.- tact on tact with the children that gives ex- cellent results in good conduct,'and in application to studies. Our children need to be taught to play. ' They need to know how to throw a ball, catch it, slide to the bases, be real out -fielders and good sports. There is no need to train "rooters." ' We have plenty of them now; but we do need that all should learn to play. When Sir A. C. Macdonald became Commandant of the Royal Military College at Kingston, he noticed that one baseball team did all the playing. Inquiring the cause, he was answered in this fashion—"We have had our tryout, and that's the College team." Sir A. C. at once told the students that each platoon must have its team, that they must learn the rules of the game, and be true sports. He did not allow any bullying or cat calling. The result was the development of some good players, and the opportunity for all to play.
