PRINTED TEXT, Luke 19 ; 41-- 20 0. GOLDEN TEXT—Why call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6 : 46. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The conversion of Zach- s,eu,s and the telling of the parable of the ten pounds occurred during the end o£ March, A.D. 29. The tri• =visa entry was on Sunday, April 2nd, the cleansing of the temple on Monday, the day following, and the argument concerning l Christ's in Ptits- authority on Tuesday — a Pass- ion Week. Place --The conversion of Zack- aeus and the teaching immediately following took place in Jericho, a city located on the Jordan just above the northern end of the Dead Sea; the remaining incidents of our lesson occurred in Jerusalem. In this lesson we obtain a pro- founder conception of the absolute pre-eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ among men: in the conver- sion of Zacchaeus it is He who seeks and saves the lost; in the parable of the ten pounds, it is He who is represented by the noble- man who distributes possessions and calls for an accounting; in the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, it is He who is King; it is He who cleanses the temple; in the argu- ment that subsequently arises, it is His authority that is questioned.

But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stpne us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. 7. And they answered, that they knew not whence it was. 8. And Jesus said unto them, Neith- er tell I you by what authority I do these things" Jesus did not answer their question directly, for one reason, because they were not sincere In their quest tor truth, Men who do not want the truth will never find it. Just what the U.S. army infantryman will wear into battle is shown for the first time by George I.

He had not been brought up in the rab- binical schools, He had not heard it delivered in Israel by any great teaching of His day. The Pharisees and Saddueees would never have asked this question if He w as not stirring the city to its depths. The Truth Not In Them 3. "And he answered and said unto them, I also ask you a true - come upon thee, when thine en- emies 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 children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knew - est not the time of tby visitation." This detailed prophecy of our Lord •was literally fulfilled forty years atferwards, in 70 A.D.. at the siege of Jerusalem under Titus. Why did our Lord weep? Perhaps because he knew that of this giddy thought- less multitude, many who now eerie& Hosanna would, ere a little week was ended be joining in the cry 'Crucify Him!" He knew, and this Was a sadder thought still that there was no part o dreadful doom but might have been averted, if en 1 st nuutol God's em a'servants. trulyto Cleansing of the Temple 45. "And he entered into tho temple. and began 46 to unto castout them that sold, And my house them, It is written, shah be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers." Pilgrims came to Jerusalem from all parts of the world to keep the Passover, and at Passover times the city was crowded to excess. moneyThe spent in the i Ing thesefeast occasions formed a great part of the livelihood of the native Jews. The mob of citizens were persuaded that Jesus meant to take the bread out of their mouths, and their Hosannaswee�'e ,changed to cries of "Crucify (For the convenience of visitors, one of the courts of the Temple was set apart for a market, where tbey could buy what animals thcY needed for sacrifice.)

McCabe of Toronto, presi- dent of the Canadian Thorough- bred Horse Society, said in his. report at the annual meeting of the society that Canada is "un- fortunately lacking in good brood mares." "Those interested in racing and breeding know too well how vi- tally racing is dependent upon good blood -stock. We must con- sider every means possible to en- courage the bloodstock industry." He said British bloodstock breeders had been asked in the past year to send their prime bloodstock to Canada and United States to prevent possible injury during wartime, and that small shipments had been made to the 'United States. He said "shipping facilities, climatic conditions and various other reasons" were given by British breeders in de- clining to send their stock here.

Signs Increasing Survey Shows National Crisis in Canadian Education Likely Next Year • The shortage of teachers, signs of which are evident to educa- tional administrators .will be on a national basis, according to in- formation obtained last week it the department of education at McGill University. • Department members have been in touch with educationists who have conducted a survey. This survey indicates that the shortage of instructors will make itself increasingly- evident during the present calendar year and may become critical to the main- tenance of educational standards in the next school session. Teachers stated last week that they were leaving the profession for two reasons. One is the call to national service, which is tak- ing an increasing proportion of the male teachers, and the other main reason is low salaries. .A. statistical study has been made by the Canadian Teachers' Federation to show that teachers are not only the lowest paid pro- fessional group but in many cases are receiving a great deal less than other large classifications of trained and semi -skilled 'workers.
