GOLDEN TEXT—What then whail I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? Matt. 27 : 22, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The prayer in the garden, the betrayal by Judas, and the de- nials of Peter, all took place on Thursday evening, April , 6, A.D. 30; all the remaining events in the lesson occurred on the day following, Friday, April 7th. Place.—The garden in which He was betrayed by Judas was at the foot of the Mount of Olives, opposite to and East of the City of Jerusalem. The trial before the Sanhedrin, no doubt, too'- place in the Palace of Caiaphas, The place where the trials of -our Lord before Pilate and Herod took place is dif- ficult to determine. All of them may have occurred in the Palace of Herod the Great, then oceu.pied by Pilate, or in the Fortress An- tonia, or in a palace near it. The palace at Jerusalem was situated on the North side of_ Mount Zion. The ...place of the Crucifixion of our Lord has never been exactly identified. We do not believe that it was on the spot where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now stands, At least, it was outside of the city wall, and probably North of the city wall. We always speak of Calvary as a hill, but of this there is no evidence in the Scrip- tures, though it may have been a hill. The charges against Jesus var- ied from hour to hour. The Jews began by saying that Christ claim- ed to be a king. Then they declar- ed Jesus had stirred up the people, even as far as Galilee. (Jesus was already condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, but it was necessary to have him condemned also by the Roman procurator, in order that the sentence might be execut- ed, anil without delay, by him who brad the power of death). Second Time Before Pilate Mark 23 : 13. "And Pilate called together the chi- priests and the tellers and the people, 14. and said ante them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and _behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse liim: 15. no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back to us; and behold, noth- ing worthy of death hath been done by him, 16. I will therefore chastise him, and release him." Certainly Pilate was convinced of Jesus' innocence, If Pilate had not le such a coward, so afraid of his position, afraid of Caesar, and afraid of the mob, Jesus would not have been condemned, at least by "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!" 18. "But they cried out all to- gether saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 19. ene who for a certain insurrection Shade in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison. 20. And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus. But they shouted, Crucify, crucify him. 22. And he said unto them the third time, +, Why, what evil hath this uran I done? I have found no cause of death in him; i 1.011 therefore nastise Mill. and release him, 23, B '` they were urgent with loud 1 voices. asking that he might be crucified. And their voices pre- vailed." Three tithes Pilate ex- postulate with the Jews, attempt- ing to appease them by declaring the innocence of Jesus. it being utterly impossible ,o satisfy this mob. one of two things had to itake place: either Pilate must stand his ground as an officer of Rome, and set Jesus free, no marc, ter what happened, or he must be- tray his office, and give Jesus ov- er to the mob, He did the latter, It \vas the voice of justice that should have prevailed, but Pilate softened by an undisciplined life appeared to be incapable of ri.sing :ep in a noble way to defend an 'innocent man against a howling mob, 24. "And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done. 25. And he released him that for lusurrectiou and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus lie de. livered up to their will." ?iiate's lodgment was for time, The com- ing judgment 'of Christ will he for eternity, The Crucifixion IL "and when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the itinalefactors, one on the right hand en the other on the left," (Notice how extremely brief the record of the erueffixion itself is). 34a, "And Imo said, 1' her forgive them; for they knot' not what they do." ¶l'bere ars seven different utter. British Take Norwegian Prisoners After Daring Raid A grins version of Blind Man's Buff is reluctantly played by some of the 225 German and Quislingist Norwegian prisoners, above, taken in the surprise British raid on the Lofoten Islands, off the coast of north- ern Norway. To prevent their seeing anything of military importance, captured men were led blindfolded aboard British ships, which made off safely. ances spoken by our Lord while ou the cross, recorded in the four Gos- pels. This one is the perfect ful-, fillment of Christ's own command that we should love our enemies, and pray for those who despite- fully use us, Man Has 2 Hearts; Dies As One Fails An autopsy of the body of John S. Frick, 78, who died in Medford, Ore., last week, reveal- ed the man had two normal hearts, one above the other, county physician Dr. A. E. Mer- kel reported. Dr. Merkel said the two hearts were joined by the' large aorta artery, and both had functioned. The ventricle of the lower heart had ruptured, causing death. Officers of the Jackson Coun- ty Medical Society said they knew of no other case of a man possessing two hearts. Isle of Cats One of the queerest and most desolate spots in the world :is Frigate, a low corral island 300 miles north-east of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. It is inhabit- ed solely by cats, the descendants of two shipwrecked there some eighty years ago. Tliey are large and fierce, and exist mainly on fish, which they catch in the most ingenious manner. They form to circle on a dry reef . reaching to the water's edge, and at, low tide close in, driving the . fish into shallow pools and channels. Then they pick them out and tear them with razorlike claws. In 'fine weather there is no danger their starving, for a single dailfe may yield a ton of fish. During violent hurricanes, when fishing is impossible, the cats fall upon each .other, but in spite of their ferocity, they seldom attack ship- wrecked seamen. 11 RADIO REP®R,TER 111 By DAVE ROBBINS FOR GARDENERS This week we have good news from everyone who plants seeds inn. the soil—Dick, the Amateur Gan dener, is back on the air from CKK.00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5.30 p.m. (daylight). Dick is following the same theme with tips on planting, and advice on how to get the most for what you plant. Dick Gunnell was the chap who put over Hamil,on's Community gardens project in a big way dur- ing the depression years—and he knows what he is talking about In the ailed, shrub, plant and vege- table line. So whether you farm, raise a truck garden or just putter with a few flower beds, you will find it worth while to +une in Dick, when he takes the air at 1120 on your dial, AROUND THE DIAL One of the best shows on the air on Monday nights is heard in this part of Ontario from CFRB, when the Radio Theatre is presented. Stars of the stage and screen are heard in scenes from the hits of the day—making altogether one of the most enjoyable 60 minutes dra- m.atie interludes offered radio lis- tenere at any time. * * * Plantation Party, NBC show fes- tared by WBEN on Wednesday eights at, 5,30 (standard) is a vel- vety bit,of the old South and has a dignity and smoothness that lifts the show above the run of the mill. Tune In sometime and hear Whitey Ford and all the planta- tion folks! * * * On. Saturday, March 22, at 2,15 p•m•, the CBC will present a pro- gram of special interest to those with relatives or friends serving overseas. This will bring greetings from the members of a Canadian 1Jnit, and from patients and the staff in one of the military hos- pitals, * * * The Uncle Ezra character, the NBC red network favorite, owes its creation to the fact that Pat Barrett was "grandpa's boy," and spent long afternoons with his grandparents on the Post Office steps of Holden, Missouri. Much of the homely philosophy used by Uncle Ezra from the "Rosedale Station," are thoughts left in the lad's mind years ago by grand - Pall py. * * Fred Allen, Rajah of Repartee; lost none of his scintillating wit in switching networks, I-I.is Wed • - nesday night show heard at 10.00. o'clock daylight Jame, is still one of the, best comic show on the airlanes, Ontario Artists' 1941 Exhibition O.S.A. 69th Annual Show is On View at Art Gallery of Toronto During Month of March The sixty-ninth annual exhibi- tion of the Ontario Society of Art- ists is on view during the month of March at the Art Gallery of Toronto, Pictures hung in the 1941 show have been done by professional painters, by bus- iness men whose spare -time hobby is painting, by art etu•dents who are making their first bow to the public. These exhibitions are never confined to society members; in fact usnally the number of non- members exceeds members in the exhibition. This healthy encourage - inert of the amateur in art is a valuable contribution to- the artis- tic life'of Canada and is the policy of the 0. S. A. now as it was sixty- nine years ago. So in this lively show are Included pictures by newspapermen, by graduate stu- dents of the Ontario College of Art, by a well-known Toronto judge, and by contributors from Vancouver to Montreal. War -time has not brought a slackening of interest, Mr. Carmichael says, but practically the sante member 01 entries were considered this year as usual. Sonia artists show de- stroyers convoying, route marches, and pictures of industrial life; there is a decided tendency to deal - with the local scene as well as the usual high unality of land- scapes and portraiture. PICTURES UPSTAIRS, TOO Upstairs in the Gallery this month are showing paintings by Frank Hennessey of Ottawa, Franklin Arbuckle, Leonard Brooks and Manly MacDonald of Toronto. On Saturday afternoons there wilt be talks on. the pictures, with the artists present on these occasions, Gardening ARTICLE NO. 3 It is not the amount of labor spent that is the key to good gar- dening but rather the timing of the necessary work. There is nothing to' begained, for in- stance, and much niay be lost, in working soil too early. It is far better to have the garden dug once and at the right tinethan tc rush in and waste days mess- ing around in the mud. Hints Nursery stock is the general name given to hardy perennial shrubs, flowers, vines, trees and roses that are grown for one to three years from seed in a nurs- ery before being sold to garden - and fruit growers. Like seed, it is important to secure such stock from a repu- table source and' one that is fa- miliar and caters to Canadian conditions. Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of live bids. Boats are moist and well wrapped to exclude the air. Nursery stock should be plant- ed as soon as the soil is fit to work and if purchased before this time, or if inconvenient to plant in permanent positions, roots should be temporarily cov- ered with moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool, dark cellar and roots kept moist. First Vegetables Among the earliest vegetables to be sown in Canadian gardens will be peas, leaf lettuce, radish and spinach. These may be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work. All of the seeds should be sown at least three times, at intervals of ten days, so that there will be a succession of vegetables. The second sow- ing will be carrots, beets, onions, potatoes, etc., which can stand a little frost, and then beans, eorn and tomatoes, cabbage and cauli- flower plants, melons, cucumbers, etc., which are tender. - Greeks Made Haggis Scotsmen, whose most festive dish is the haggis, may, or may not, like to 1pe reminded that it is -of Greek origin. Though Burns wrote of it as the "great chief- tain o' the puddin' race," Ati- stophanes forestalled him in 423 B.C., with an allusion to the same dish in "The Clouds." The Greeks called it "Rolla nicbateia," but,. from the description of the dish, it was haggis just the same. Henry IV introduced the dish into the French court under the name "hachis." It became popular among the French troops, Whose battalion cooks used t0' 'Carty • it into• battle, The EngIigli•" tool;: it shortly afterwards, and;.
