II, TEF APPEARANCE TO THE Disoinga, • 20; 19-20, IrearliOntiorioN—John's aim in thie chapter is to show the gradual dawn- ing of faith in the resurrection among the disciples, until it blazed into full light in the confession of Thomas, v.1 28, He is concerned mainly in bring- ing out its spiritual meaning for the church. The church was built on the faith that Christ was :AM alive and active in the world. That faith was based on the experience of those who were cenvinced that they had seen the Lord, and upon the evidence that he was alive in power among his followers in this very world whence his fees thought they had banished him, and going on with the work which Calvary had interrupted. The resurrection faith was, in the first place therefore, based upon the resurrection appear- ances. L THE APPEARANCE TO MARY, 20: 11-18. The body of Jesus, having essceiye:3 only temorary burialon .Friday even -1 ing, was to be properly embalmed as soon as the Sabbath was past. Mary Magdalene it was when went early, as the grey dawn was breaking, to the tomb (v. 1) to find the stone which had bean iaid against the face of it remov- ed. Something told her that her Lord. was no longer there. Raising a nue and cry, she soon had others at the tomb, v. 2. Upon "the disciple whom Jesus loved" flashed that the Lord was risen. But both he and Peter were',1 still uncertain. Had they thought the body had been stolen they would have informed Joseph of .Arimathwa. Had they been convinced that Jesus had come to life again, they would certain- ly have sought him eut and arranged a lodging. As it was, they were per- plexed, and they went home to pon- der over it all. But Mary lingered near. Through her tears she saw a vision of angels, but from them she learned nothing. Becoming conscious of some one, the gardener (who else would: be abroad so early?), she asked, "Tell me where thou hest laid him, and I will take him away," v. 15—with her weak arms —but eager love knew no weaknese.; Then came the greatest recognition seen in all iterature---"Mary." "Rabonni!" Two words, but they I changed her world for her, and for us all. In the first flush of her joy, she started forward to embrace • elm. "Touch me not," he said, or "cease clinging to ane."—Dr. Moffatt. Mary must now learn another and a higher v.ay of knowing her Lord. This high- er way will not, however, begin until he has ascended, v. 17. This is John's way of teaching that the true proof of the resurrection and the 'true posses- sion of the Risen Christ are not to be eoun in a "resurrection appearance" or physical contacts. They are to be realized in the normal experience of the believer. He sends her immediately to tell the. brethren, not his blood -relations, but his spiritual brethren, his disciples. The receiving of the Good News is al- ways followed by the sharing of it with others. IL THE APPEARANCE*To THE DISCIPLES, 20: 19-20. That seine evening, the first Chris- . tan Sunday evening, the eleven were together, locked in for fear of the Jew, v. 19. When. the news would reach. the authorities that the body of Jesus was gone, suspicion would most kely fall upon his disciples of steal- ing it. Hence the locked door. Christians are still living behind the closed doors of fear, afraid to be con- sidered enthusiastic, afraid of public. opinion, and thereby render their lives largely useless. We often dose the door on Christ unwittingly. Sometimes our friendships close the door on many noble things, among them, the beauty of Jesus Christ. But he comes through our dosed door. Suddenly the Master was in the room with them, v. 19. Coining, he brought pease to his own.

It is the 'something More' that has made all the differenee. The thiug that matters is not "how" the still living Lord e,ade himself known to a few people .nineteen hundred years ago, but that, since his death on Calvary, he has been touching Men with the same quickening and renew- ing power that he alwaye had.

COME Reminiscences One of the stories told by Elsie Janis in her breezy reminiscences"Se Far, So Good," is of her first lneotinr. with Mary Pickford. It was in the 1890's when, as child prodigies, both appeared on the same "bill" at Shea's Theatre, Toronto. Mary Pielsford---- then known as "Baby Gladys Smith" —was playing in a sketch, while Elsie Janis—as "Little Elsie"—did "an act" all by herself. She was seven and something as a "star" already, having been en the stage for two years. Mary was younger, for, Elsie recalls, "they had to carry her on." 0 0 4 * The two "kiddies" became great friends—as did their mothers, by the way, for they had much in common -- and have remained so ever since. Elsie remembers that "Mary would gaze wide-eyed at my array of dresses, hanging on the dressing -room wall, a different one for each performance, and two performances a day. "'Mother,' she would say plaintive- ly, `do you suppose I will ever have pretty dresses like those?' "• * * * There are lots of chuckles—and just a few sighs—in the Janis book, beginning with the title itself "So Far, So Good!" As all the world knows, Elsie was married recently. This is how she started reminiscing: "There can be no doubt that I have reached the years of indisiretion. "For the first time in my life I have lost my sense of humor over a man!" * * PEEPS AT CELEBRITIES. Caruso (at dinne" in the Janis apartment) : "Singing his requests for more potatoes, and ah-ah-ah-ah-ing right up to high 0 for another piece of bread, then drawing caricatures of in, all on the 'company' tablecloth! What a good, bad little boy he was!" Irving Berlin: "Irving became like a son to Mother. He reminded her of Perce (Elsie's dead brother). He didn't remind me of anyone, but I loved him! I still do, and I'll slap his face if he ever says lie felt like a brother toward me!" 4; 0 * MORE PEEPS. Queen Alexandra (in the Royal box at a London thatre where Elsie Janis, in her make-up, had been presented to her) : "As I was leaving, Queen Alex- andra pulled one of my curls and said: 'Ah! They don't come off!' I murmur- ed something to the effect that if they came off for anyime they would for her, shook her hand again and saying, `Good-bye, Your Majesty,' I ran out." Michael Arlen (the novelist—born an. Armenian): "I met Michael Arlen, whose answer to my inquiry as to what nationality he was, is typical 'I'ni the last of the Armenian atroci- ties,' he said!" O 0 Elsie Janis tells an amusing story about one of her youthful admirers— the grandson of a wealthy brewer— who was a constant visitor at the Janis home and whom she nicknamed "Happy," because of his smile. Be it was (she chuckles) who, when the San Francisco earthquake occurred, and his grandfather donated $100,000 to the relief fund, telegraphed that dis- tinguished philanthropist, "Remember, Governor, charity begins at home!" To which Happy, "who was busy cutting classes at Yale and capers in New York," replied, "If you were where I am, you would never go home!" • 0 0 0 The utter inability to recognize photographs of themselves, or of their surroundings, is characteristic of all savages, says Martin Johnson (in "Congorilla: Adventures with Pyg- mies and Gorillas in Africa...) He tells of taking pictures of .the Pygmies who accoMpanied him on a camera hunt for gorillas in the Congo, and afterwards showing them prints. I "They would take these pictures," he says, "turn them upside down and all around without the slightest con- eeptien as to what ;hey were," O * "I would display a perfect likeness r,f one or more of a group, but not a Pynmy would recognize a person in the picture," he adds. "It was exactly :he same with scenes. I iould take a repr( nel action e (' a native hut, show the scene of n P eey and also the pictute.

Russian Grows Hybrid Grain Crossing Wheat With Rye Said to Produce Better Quality Moscow.—New foodstuffs which, aro expected to alter radieally the a:w- ader of Russia's crops and which Mar revolutionize the world's food supply have been discovered here, These discoveries are the result 0 experiments in breeding hybrid grained, composed of wheat and rye, carried out during the last decade by Prof. O.' K, Meister in Saratov. Profess -or Meister has succeeded in obtaining two hybrid grains, one et which. is called "erythros-pemum," the other "lutescens." An. area of about 250 acres has bees sown with. these hybrid grains. COM. Parative tests carried, out over a three- year period show that "erythros,per- mum" affords a yield of more than 83 per cent. in excess of that of the best grade wheat, while the yield of "lute- scens"is between 20 and 25 per cent. in excess of that of wheat. A baking test, based on the antounto, of protein, starch and moisture, the amount of flour obtained and the xis, ing of the bread, resulted in the fol- lowing evaluations; "Erythros-per mum" 82; "utescens," 82; best grade wheat, 78. Although the hybrid grains represent a crossbreeding of -wheat and rye. they yield pure white bread. The new grain has proved tougher and more resistant than wheat and I consequently can be planted in reglom I where rye has hitherto been the chief grain crop. This, it Is believed, makes possible a great extension of the Rus. sian wheat belt. Similar experiments in the crossing of wheat and rye are being conducted In other countries. They were made available to the English-speaking na• tions last year in papers published by the Imperial Bureau of Plant Genetics, School of Agriculture, Cambridge, Eng- land. Russian agricultural investigatore profess to have discovered that cora grows best when nights are long and consequently believe that by making artificial darkness in regions where nights are short, corn could be sue. cessfully cultivated. The hot climate which Is naturally required for cotton plantations ie found in the Soviet Union, in centrall Asia and, to a lesser extent, in the Trans -Caucasus. But the Soviet Union is not satisfied with the present acreage under cotton cultivation and looks for new fields te develop, So a campaiv of active ex- perimentation is being carried on fax the purpose of discovering just w'hat cotton needs for its successful growth. A Road Ocross Europe Eight countries are combining in a scheme for making an international highway across Europe for motorists. The road is to run direct from Lon- don to Constantinople, a distance of nearly 2,000 miles, and in each country the authorities are being urged ti make it a uniform width. It is probable that a 24-hour cus- toms service will be arranged in each of the eight countries, and new cus- toms officers established by the road- side if the scheme is carried out. All this is good news. The more we see of our neighbors the more Alla should understand thein, and under- standing is one of the most powerful peace makers in the world.—The Wair Cry (London).
