Place. -- The triumphal entry occurred on the western slope of Mount of Olives. On The Mount 1(a). "And when they draw night unto Jerusalem, mita Beth - phage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives." Our Lord had rested in Bethany over the Sabbath day, and was now about to begin the last week of His life on earth, the days of which would be spent • in Jerusalem; the nights in Beth- any. 1(b). "He sendeth two of his disciples. 2, and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straight- way as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him and bring him. 3. And if anyone say unto you, why do you this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither." The Lord knew that a great prophecy was about to be fulfilled, and he kneew that it was divinely ordered that he was to enter the city on this particular day on a new colt upon which no man had ever ridden. 'The Lord 'hath need of him' is in the auto- cratic tone of one who has abso- lute power over us and ours. He does not expect us to say one contrary word when He sends and says, 'I have need of you, or of yours.' Jesus Is Trusted 4. "And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door.with- out in the open street; and they loose hint. 5. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, what do ye, loosing the colt? 6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go." According to Luke, these people whom the dis- ciples found nearby were the owners. That they were satisfied with the .answer 'The Lord hath tneed of him' need cause no sur- prise; the Master was well known in the neighborhood. The promise to return the animal at once could be trusted; and the owners might well be proud that it should be used by the Prophet. Symbol of Joy 7. "And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him. 3, And many spread their gar- ments upon the way; and others. branches, which they had cut from the fields." The carrying of palm leaves by the people in honor of the Messiah was in ac- cordance with the custom observed at feasts and great occasions, The palms symbolize His triumph and the people's joy. Hosanna 9. "And they that went be- fore, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10. Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest." The word 'Hosanna' was really a prayer meaning 'save now.' Prob- ably here it is, the prayer of the people that the expected salvation may be accomplished now. The phrase 'the coming kingdom' represents it as already on the way. It is represented as the kingdom of David, because the promise of it was made to hire as a man of God's own word (2 Samuel: 7,. 41. "And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it." Jesus was full of grief as he des- cended the Mount of Olives and saw stretched beneath his feet the city so near its destruction, and yet so unconscious of its doom and He wept. 42. "Saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they - are hid from thine eyes. 43, For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side. 44. and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy chhdren within thee; and they shall not leave in thee ODE stone upon 'another;; because thou knew - est not the time of thy visitation." 'lar this thy day,' -Jerusalem had day. Every community and every person has a day -a day of mercy. If in that day the lost shall tuan, they will get life in the Lord. But if they allow their day to pass, there remaineth only darkness. Looking down on Jeru- salem the ground of our Lord's grief was, not that they had sinned, and so brought on them- selves condemnation. In that 'there was nothing peculiar to Jerusalem. Here they were in the .same state as all the world. The Redeemer would not weep' b; - TIME QUT FORA CUP OF TEA a ',•,S'ia,; +'.:+„,p SH"f,o Y ^�wN7 nixie k •.

What makes him weep is that they will not accept it at his hands. 11. "And he entered into Jeru- salem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve." No particular ac- tivity occurred in the city of Jerusalem on this day. It seems it was merely a time of inspection and at eventide our Lord went back to Bethany. Germans Seizing French Radium A British radio broadcast as- serted that the Germans were confiscating radium in French hospitals. It said that the Germans had taken half of the largest radium stock in France, at the Curie Institute, which was being used to fight cancer, and that as the result the Institute's . etivity had been crippled. Ship's ?i.jscuits British seamen compelled to take to their boats ne longer have to dig their teeth into the iron- clad ship's biscuits of tradition. , Instead they are given dainty little wheatmeal biscuits, about two inches square and one-quar- ter inch thick. Packed in rust -proof water- tight containers, 48 to a pound tin, there is enough in each boat to supply every person with 14 oz. Together with pemmican (a concentrated mixture of beef ex- tract), malted milk tablets and chocolate, the shipwrecked sailor is now provided with "minimum" rations which are not only more varied and tasty than the old bis- cuits and condensed milk, but have a much higher food value. What {;s even more important, the space saved can be used for • carrying water, the ration of which is now three times as great as lie was. The Panama Canal was opened for navigation in August, 1914.

Australia, nearly as large as the United States, is two-fifths desert, while much of the remain- der is composed of high plateaus and mountains. Fertile lands, in- dustries and inhabitants are princ- ipally in the southeast New South. Wales and Victoria -with a broad fertile kelt stretching from Cairns in Queensland south to Melbourne. This is separated from the coast by mountains, and the coast in the northeast is pro- tected by the Great Barrier Reef whose only openings are mined. * * * The coastline of Australia is only 12,210 miles long, yet it has a few good harbors, mostly on the southeast.

Japan's success thus far has reuired land, sea, and air forces together, a combination which could succeed in only a few places in Australia, The south- eastern shoreline is readily ap- proaehable but this region is two thousand miles farther from Jap- anese bases, and the sea route in Allied hands, A landing in the north at Port Darwin would be difficult -with its strong defences, and would provide a boor means of reaching the. richer sections of the continent. Another vitally important fac- tor is that the Japanese have not had the opportuntiies to make blueprints of this island comment that have been theirs in the smal- ler islands of the Paeii'ic, includ- ing Hawaii and Singapore, Ja- pan's fishing boats ha•re been ex- cluded from Australia's waters. There can be little doubt that much of Japan's success thus far has been dependent upon intimate knowledge of the terrain.

Australia. 1 DIALING WITH DAVE: Canada to Have Thirty Thousand Acres This Year 1 1 Doubling of the area planted to soybeans, to bring it to a total of nearly 30,000 acres and help meet vegetable oil and feed re- quirements, is -hoped for in 1942, Agriculture Department officials said recently. To encourage enlarged soybean production, the government has authorized the Canadian Wheat Board to buy soybeans at $1.95 a bushel, basis Toronto. In past years, the price has ranged from 56c to $1 a bushel. Officials said the increased pro- duction is urgently needed to compensate for losses in normally imported vegetable oil supplies because of war in the Far East. Canada and the United States have entered into a joint program of increasing such vegetable oil production as is possible, although the major part of the Canadian program will be the growing of coarse grains to facilitate an en- larged output of animal fats. Soybean seed supplies are none too plentiful in Canada and of- ficials said this might prove a limiting factor on .the acreage. "Although Canadian soybean production is small compared to that of the United States, it is notable that Ontario growers have won the top soybean awards at the Chicago International Grain Show for several years," one spokesman said. All Over Ontario "Soybeans have been grown all over Ontario, as far east as Ot- tawa, and in Southern Quebec. There has been some production in irrigated areas in Alberta and in British Columbia." Officials said that farmers pro- posing to switch to soybean pro- duction in suitable areas should be able to use their existing equipment in handling the new crop. Soybeans, imported from Man- churia, were first grown in Can- ada at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in 1895.

Today, like Hitler, with all small neighbors under the heel, she is forced again to attempt the con- quest of another huge country, this time an entire continent. What will be her fate here?
