S N DA Y SCHOOL. LESSON MA R. 18th, 1923 ' Lesson Title—Jesus Crucified. Lesson Passage--Lukee23 : 33-46. Golden Text---Isa. 53 : 5. In the year 1633 the villagers of Oberammergan in Bavaria, on the etee.ation of a plague which desolat- ed the surrounding cuentry, had voe,- eel tu perform every tenth year the Pmsion of our Saviour, out of grati- tude, and as a means of religious ie- struetien; a vow which has ever sim.• Men religiously observed (excepting during the Greta War). What wetild elsewhere appear impious, is to the Alpine peasants devout and edifying. The personator of Christ eonsiders his part an art of religious worshitt; he and the t,tht•r principal „perforw• ers are said te e sleeted for their holy life and consecrated to their ,rkywit h prayer. The New Testa. merit narraLiVe is strictly adhered Many thousands are attracted by die set etaele from different parts of the world; and among them the same tonnes', and devout demeanor pre- vails as among the iierformers. In- ternational (yclopaedia). None uf the Evangelists give the location et the scene of the Crucifixion, merely saying "the place, which is called Calvary" meaning the place of the skull. St. John, who was an eye-, witness, was able to go into details more fully, but St. Luke alone, adds Christ's prayer for his executioners. Probably he had heard it from one of them, possibly the Centurion him- self. With an artist's skill he tie. picts the scerie:--In the foregroun the three crosses; the centre one bearing the superscription, "This is the King of the Jews," written in Ile. levw, (1 and I,attn, Then group tel around are the soldiers untouched hy the awfulness of the fate of the victims, and passing the time by Casting lots for his clothes. In an - 00 group are to be seen the chief pin-sts, Scribes and rulers deriding Jesus; while the people are standing at some distances gazing. Nearer than all others are the women, his mother anti the beloved disciple. Jehn. In this lesson there are recorded three of the seven utterances of Christ upon the cross. Matthew and Mark give two and John gives three that none other of ,the evangelises glees. "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefac- tors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left" (verse 33). It is probable that the two malefactors had for some time been under sen- tence of death, and this was the morning set of their execution; hence the haste in the prosecution of Christ that he might suffer at the same time. Thereby was .S cripture fulfilled. He was numbered with the transgressors," and, being placed in the middle, it indicated that he was regarded as the chief transgres- sor. While being bound and nailed to the cross He prayed for His exeen- tioners—"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Here is again the fulfilment of Scripture —"And He made intercession for the transgressor" (Isa. 53.12). He not only asks God to forgive them but He makes the plea: "For they know not what they do." If they had known they would not .have crucified Hine "For, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Cor, 2.8). They were kept in ig- norance by their rulere, who instilled prejudice into their minds, so that they believed that in what they did against Christ they were doing God service (John 16.2). Jesus in the Sermon ort the Mount said, "Eut I say unto you, Love your enemies; bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray 'for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" (Matt, 5.44). So here Christ puts his words into practise and that, ton, in the. hour of his an- guish. In the conversion of the thief upon the cross we see how the cross of Christ is to some a savour of life unto life, and to others of death un- to death (2 Con 2.18). It is notice- able in this eleventh hour conversion that the thief never before had the offer of salvation. It was his day of grace and he accepted it, and showed the extraordinary wove of God's grace upon him, for he at once re- buked the other thief for railing up- on Christ, saying --"If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us." It is probable that both malefactors suf- fered for the same crime and the re- pentant one tells the other that they are just getting their due; but Jesus had done nothing wrong. We do not know whetherhe had ever before herd of Jesus and his work but he Is now enlightened by the spirit of God, and so is able to say, "This man bath done nothing amiss." Now he turns to Jesus and utters his first prayer—"Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom." It is the prayer of a (lying sinner to a dying Saviour. "While there is life there is hope, and while there ie hope, there is time for prayer" is fully testified to here. He confesses sin and acknowledges Jesus as his Lord; and testifies to his belief in another PIED BY RHEUMATISM Began to Improve After Taking "Fruit -a -fives" The Mediclie Made From fruit You can get rid of Rheumatism.

The capture of Fort Gaspereau and Beausejour by the British and New England forces was the prelude to the fall of Acadia as a French colony and was immedi- ately succeeded by the dispersal of the Acudians.

"Third, while at the moment it may seem more profitable to the farmer to raise thick smooth hogs, rather than select bacon, the market for thick, siroeth hogs in Canada can be quick- ly overdone, and they simply cannot be marketed in Great Britain as they will not make the type of bacon that can compete on the British market With either Danish, Dutch or Irish." "Fourth, at the present price of coarse grains, hogs show about the most money of anything raised on -,._the farm." •. "Fifth, careful..feeding tests at ex- perimental stations and by individual farmers show that select bacon typtt hogs can be fed as quickly and as cheaply as thick smooth." "Sixth, that proper feeding is just about as essential as proper breeding to product select bacon hogs and that all necessary information on this head can be obtained from the agri- cultural college by applying for it." "Seventh, that it is generally bet- ter to ship hogs direct to the yards and have them graded there than to sell them locally, and it is always possible with a little care and patience to arrange to do this." "Eighth that steady hog produc- tion year in and year out has proved exceedingly profitable to Denmark, holland and Ireland, though in all these countries they have to import much of the feed used, while Canada ter raise and raise easily everything necessary for the production of the finest kind of bacon." "Nieth, Great Britain is the only available export market. Great Bri- tain has the world to buy in and she will nilly take what she wants, hut she has said, in no uncertain manner, that given the class of bacon, such ;is she gets from Denmark or Holland and guaranteed a steady flow, she can and will take all the bacon Can- ada can produce." "If Western Canada wants bacon trade, she can have it on these terms and fra.sother,tind it is absolutely up to the pr-aucers themselves what they will decide to do."

The blue sky, the always lovely pines, the shining sea, are poems in themselves. The exquisite scenery of this little country has made its children artists, and, in only a little less degree, they are poets too. Every New Year t Emperor announces the title of poem for the year, and from all ov the country pourt. . in thousands o songs to compete in the annual poe- try contest. Tiny little poems they are, mere sketches, outlines to be fill- ed in by the reader's imagination. MOTHER OF TWIN BOYS Tells How Lydia E.
