ANALYSIS,
1. AT BEREA, John 11, 1-16.
11. AT SiTHANY John 11: 17-32.
III. AT THE GRAVE, John 11: 33-44.
Iternonucsfoer-The ten precedime
chapter of this Gospel tell how every
attempt made by Jesus to win the
Jews only turned them the more bit-
terly against him. Finally he seveel-
ed himself as the Resurrection and.
the Life.. John makes this the turn-
ing point which brings on the arrest
'and death.
John tells the story of the raising
of Lazarus in the light of what he
himself knows of the death -conquering
and ever-present Christ, "John hiM-
self had been a Laesrus, bound hand
and foot in the jgreve clothes of the
old life. He had in his own soul head
the rnightv. awakening cry of Jesus,
'Come forth,' and in his hand he had
• Passed fecitn death unto life." Chriet,
he says, can do that for any man.
L AT PERIM, John 11, 1-16.
Upon receiving the message that
Lazarus is ill, Jesus said, "This illness
will not end in death -there may Le

His duty made plain to him, Jesup
announced that he would leave his safe
retreat and go into the very teeth of
danger, v. 7. Answering the disciples'
protest (v. 8) hs told them hat a man
committed to God's work is immortal
'until that work is done. Twelve full
hours. but only twilyz... Every minute
of life, God intends us to use. Walk-
ing under the light of God's guidance

they may believe. In the other Gos-
pel miracles are performed out of love
and pity for the sufferer: here. they
are perforMed to increase faith. Thom-
as, in no. mood of expectant faith, but
in loyal despair exclaims: "Let us also

M. AT THE GRAVE, NIB 111 344.
Coming to the cave, Jesus command-
ed, "Take ye away the stone." No
longer was he the weeping friend, he
was new the Lord of Life. But God
does nothing for us that we can do
for ourselves.. See also v. 44. So cer-
tain was Jesus that his prayer would,
be answered that he first thanked Cod
before all the people, and then cried
with a loud voice (symbolic of the last
trump) "Lazarus, come forth. . . .
Loose him, and let him go."

"sign." He has driven home his les-
son. God's gift of eternal life is not
a thing of tomorrow merely, it is
thing of today,
Preserve "Old" Frankfurt
by Reproduction in Miniature
Frankfurt Am Main -The "Ale-
stadt"-the Old -Town -of Frankfurt,
with its "Roemer" where emperors of
the Holy Roman Empire were chosen
and its ancient dome where they were
crowned, with Goethe' e birthplace and
a picturesque maze of venerable build-
ings and churches and high -gabled,
half-timbered dwellings, is yielding
before the sweep of modern nee*
but if most of it is doomed to disap-
pear the whole of it is to be preserv-
'ed, at least in miniature, for future
generations.
Two artists, the brothers Treuner,
are at work on an .exact model, on a
scale of 1 to 200. In 1913 they pro-
duced for the Historical Museum a
miniature of one Old -Town street
which has since been changed beyond
recognition. The project of having
the whole district modeled was even
then, conceived by the late Director
Mueller of the Frankfurt Historical
Museum, but had to be deferred until
a well-to-do son of Frankfurt put up
the needed money. The work will
take a long time, and the modelers
are pushing measurements of streets
and structures to have data complete
before more of the Altstadt is demol-
ished.
Volcanoes Active
In Aleutian Chain
Once more a Volcano in the Alen-
tian chain of islands has been reported
in violent eruption. This time it was
Shishaldin on, Unimak Island that re.
eently belched forth clouds of smoke
and showers of ashes and lit up the
sky "like a huge torch." Such news
is to be expected from the Aleutian
Islands, for the majority of the 1,600 -
mile -long chain stretching between
Alaska and the Orient seems to be a
volcanic origin, theis,they were
formed by volcanic eruptions -M the
ocean bed.
Such submarine volcanoes are i)e-
lieved to be at least as common as
those on the exposed surface of the
earth. Occasional reports tell of the
ocean's bubbling and steaming and
throwing up fountains like a huge
coffee percolator. Volcanic tinders
and dead fish float above the spot, and
sometimes those more permanent evi-
dences of submarine eruptions -vol-
canic islands -rise mysteriously out of
the depths.
These islands sometimes are made
by foldings in the eerthri crust as a
result of the tremendous pressure ex-
erted by volcanic steam. They may
also be accumulations of volcanic ash
and lava which have collected under
the water, until after repeated erup-
tions they make mountains thousands
of feet high projecting above the
ocean's surface.
Practically all of the Aleutian Is-
• lands bear marks of such evolution,
and the birth of some of them actaally
has been observed. An example is the
Bogoslof group. In May, 1796, there
were signs of volcanic disturbances off
the coast of Unimak Island ( where the
recent eruption occurred) and a few
days later a new island had been cre-
ated. It was christened Bogoslof. Al-
most a century later, in 1883, another
island, which was called New Bogoslof,
carne into being -ender similar eireuni-
stances, and in 1906 a third appeared.
That islands born of volcanoes
should themselves frequently be dis-
turbed by volcanoes is 6 be expected,
for they are only volcanic peaks pro-
jecting ebove the water. Estimates of
the number of ective volcanoes in the
Aleutians runs into scores, and no one
can say confidently of the others which
are extinct and which are merely dor-
mant. Shishaldin is one of the best
known of the active craters. Its mast
violent outburst occurred between 1825
and 1829, when, together with its twin
peak, Pogromni, it erupted fiercely at
intervals. Since then the 'elands of
smoke it blew from its mouth have
warned of hidden strength.
Aims
Building in Jerusalem
The high artistic quality of archi-
tecture of Jerusalem's new houses, and
the "extraordinary changes" since his
last visit to Palestine less than two
years ago,
profoundly impressed Prof.
Leslie Patrick Abercrombie, well-
known architect and town planner,
and professor of civic design at the
University of Liverpool. Many of the
buildings he found to be above the
average of those going up in the big
towns in England, and Mr. Abercrom-
bie found in Jerusalem structures a
welcome departure from the common-
place and stereoSyped. What the city
specially needs,, he said, is mere trees
to make up for lack of green and open
spaces. If Jerusalem cannot have
grass, because of the shortage in the
water supply it nevertheless can have
certain types of trees.
Arriving at Bethany, Jesus discov-
ered that Lazarus had been dead four
days, v. 17. The Jews apparently be•
lieved that a soul hovered about the
dead body for three clays, but on the
fourth, found it unrecognizable
'through decay, and departed. Lazarus
was unquestionably dead. Friends are
with the sisters, trying • to comfort
then by saying the usual things.
Martha's greeting (vs. 21, 22) is a
gentle reproach, and the expression of
a boundless trust. Jesus' answer (v.
23) was disappointing. She has ban
enough of that from her Jewish com-
forters during the last four days.
Jesus made his great declaration, vs.
25 26. The "resurrection" andthe
"life" which he guarantees, are not
future, but present. The resurrection
has already taken place for those who
are Christians. They are living the
resurrection life now. They are risen
in Christ, Col. 2: 12; 3: 1.
Accepting this new doctrine through
her confidence in him who gave it to
her, Martha went for Mary (v. 28)
"secretly" -in order not to attract the
attention, of Jesus' enemies to him -
and to give Mary the opportunity of a
private talk with the Master. Jesus,
also wishing to avoid the crowd, 'stay-
ed outside the village, v. 30.
Mary- had lost hope. How soon,
when trouble carne to herself, had 3e
forgotten the teachings of the Mesta I
Seeing her back among the profes-
sional mourners, oppressed by the pa-
thetic hopelessness of those who sor-
row without Christ, his sensitive soul,
hurt by the vulgarity of conventional
mourning, Jesus groaned in his spirit
and was troubled, v. 33. Asking where
the grave,was (the only occasion in
this Gospel on which Jesus asked for
"My poor man, why don't you go
forth, and labor?"
"I can't find nothing in my line,
mime"
"And what was your last imsi-
tion?"
"Oh, it was very responsible,
mum, -I was official grass cutter
for a polar expedition,"

A Foundation
Commonsense is • the foundation of
man's happiness in his commerce with
others.
Forgiveness
Hath any wounded thee? Soft Ian-'
nage dresses it, forgiveness cures it,
and. oblivion takes away the scar, -
Francis Quarles.
It was Julia Ward Howe who once
said, when asked for a definition Of
what the ideal aims of life were: "To
learn, to teach, to serve, to enjoy." A
life which misses any of these is in-
complete; but as any life can have
thein all, the incompleteness is a fnat-
ter of choice, not of fate.
ENJOYMENT
The secret of enjoying life is in
being able to get happiness from the
simplest resources:
WILL
A will residing within as, and
made free to choose the better part,
forges its iron, chains link by link
in again and again choosing the
WOI'Se.
Dullness
Dull is, after all a relative term; it
expresses only a -want of correspond-
ence between the mind or the writer
and that of the reader. ---Prof. Seeley.

"She does."
"And Skating?"
'Oh, yes! She likes anything
that may possibly lead to a pro-
posal,"

Tlie Twenty Fifth Anniversary of
Macdonald College with par-
ticular emphasis on Founder's Day,
February 10th, focuses attention on
this institution and its founder, the
late Sir William C. Macdonald who
built, equipped and endowed the
entire institution at an expense of
more than six million dollars.
Founder's Day which this year,
marks the 101st Anniversary of the
birth of the late Sir William C.
Macdonald, founder of the Mac-
donald Tobacco Company and
Canada's greatest benefactor, once
more draws attention to the tre-
ecknd.ous scope of his benefactions
th McGill University with which the
Macdonald College at St. Anne de
Bellevue is affiliated. These bene-
factions total more than twelve and
one half million dollars, $10,690,166
of which was given during life.

Scientific Agriculture was possibly
Heat and Power to be
Generated From Sewer Gas
Some new featuret,. mark the sue-
, .?„1 t r 41,q pik7
of Plainfield, New Jersey, to utilize
eee... see eee..d.on t.t fl -r,
auti the dve1opnieiit of powel'.
The plan. is thus described and ex-
plained in the Plainfield Courier -
News:
"Sewer gas, never very popular,
gained for itself a particularly tine -
enviable notoriety early in October,
when an explosion destroyed a part
of the Woonsocket, Rhode Island, sew-
er plant and caused the death of two
men. . Engineering publications
throughout the coentry have carried
columns of reports and discussions en
this explosion.
"At the local joint sewage -disposal
plant the heating power of this gas,
which is 50 per cent, greater than that
of manufactured gas, has been har-
nessed and put to useful purpose dur-
ing the past five years by means of a
safety collective device developed by
the supervising engineer, John R.
Downs.
"The organic matter or the solid
portion of the sewage is destroyed, and
the remainder of the solids rendered
innocuous, by a digestion process. This
process is greatly accelerated by heat,
the dearest to Sir William's heart,
every faculty of the McGill Uni-
versity benefited during his life and
after. The Faculty of Law received
$232,500. The Conservatorium of
Music $300,000. The Faculty of
Medicine was bequeathed $500,000.
The McCord Museum Building was
purchased at a cost of $142,000.
while the Macdonald Park site now
occupied by the Stadium, and the
Student's Park was purchased at
a cost of more than one million
dollars and presented to the Uni-
versity. Student's activities came
under the beneficient scope of Sir
William as the McGill Union testi-
fies. Sir William spent S219,000
on its erection and equipment. In
addition to the wonderful equip-
ment at St. Anne de Bellevue, those
buildings at McGill which hear the
Macdonald name and those donated
by the late Tobacco knight, stand
today, as the greatest monument te
his memory.
Macdonald College was founded
by the late Sir William in 1907. It
was designed to include three
schools -one for agriculture, one for
household science and one for
normal teacher training. 'The gift
included the grounds, almost 800
acres in extent, the complete equip-
ment and endowment. The college
itself was incorporated with the
University of M eGill as the Faculty
of A gri culture, although the teachers'
training feature is possibly' his best
known contribution to life in the
Province of Quebes.
Other sections of the country
have benefited by the late Sir
William's benefactions, the Mac-
donald Institute and the Macdonald
Hall at the Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph, being among the
Meat important.
•
so that the time necessary to compI et
e
the proess is cut down from five or
six months to a period of from thirty
to forty days. When we consider that
about 2,000 cubic feet of these solids
f:ach the plant daily, the saving in the
capacity of structures to hold the sol-
ids until the process is completed, be-
comes obvious.
"The Plainfield Joint Sewage Plant
was the first to apply this principle
by- using the gas given off during the I
process to supply the heat necessary!
for acceleration. The more heat that
is supplied -within certain limits the:
more gas is produced so that there is
always an excess quantity of gas.
"Part of the excess gas has now ,
been piped into the office and labor-
atory building where it is burned in
the steam -heating plan. A visit to
this building will rouse the envy of
any coal -shoveling householder. An
absolutely uniform temperature of 70
degrees can be maintained night and
clay without shoveling coal or remov-
ing ashes.
"Power has also been developed
from this gas, one horse -power being
available continuousler from each 1,000
persons connected to the sewer system,
or fifty horse -power at the local plant.
"A very interesting development is
that both the power and the heat ran
be recaptured from the same gas. The
best gas -engines made are only 25 pee
cent. efficient, therrna.ly speaking, the
other 75 per cent. of the heat value a
the gas being given up to the cooling
water in the engine jacket or lost 11 e
the exhaust. By water -jacketing the
! exhaust and using the cooling water
! to heat the sludge or buildings, 75 pee
cent. of this waste heat can be re-
covered."
