S. S. LESSON FOR JAN. 16th, 1925
Lesson Title—The Lord Supper.
Lesson Passage—Luke 23:14-26.
Golden Text—Luke 22:19.
In Geikie's Life of Christ the fol-
lowing account of the institution of
the Lord's Supper is to be found:—
It was on the morning of Thurs-
day—Green Thursday, as it used to
be called during the middle ages—
that some conversation took place be-
tween Jesus and His disciples about
the Psachal feast. They asked Him
where He wished the preparation for
it to be made. As He had now with-
drawn from all public speaking, and
was spending this Thursday, as He
had spent the previous day, in com-
plete seclusion, they probably ex- yourselves" (verse 17). Afterwards
petted that He would eat the Pass-
over at Bethany. But His plans were
otherwise. He, the true Paschal
Lamb, was to be sacrificed once and
forever in the Holy City.
According He sent Peter and John
to Jerusalem, and appointing for
them a sign both mysterious and- sec-
ret, told them that on entering the
gate they would meet a servant car-
rying a pitcher from one of the foun-
tains for evening use; following him
they would reach a house, to the own-
er of which they were to intimate
the intention of the Master to eat
the Passover there with His .disci-
ples; and this householder—conject-
ured by some to have been Joseph of
Arimathea, by others John Mark—
would at once place at their disposal
a furnished upper room, ready pro-
vided with the requisite table and
couches. They found all as Jesus
had said, and there "made ready the
Passover."
It was toward the evening, proba-
bly when the gathering dusk would
prevent all needless observation,
that Jesus and His disciples walked
from Bethany, by that old familiar
road over the Mount of Olives, which
His sacred feet were never again de-
stined to traverse until after death.

was said, a fourth cup peered out.
the rest of the psalms unsung
and the ceremony ended .with the:
blessing of this song, "0 give thanks
unto the Lord; for- He . is good; for
His mercy endureth forever."
Just how much of this ceremony
was observed by Jesus and His disci-
ples we are not told by the three Ev-
angelists and . by St. Paul, who ,re-
cord the institution at this time ` of
the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
"And He took bread, and gave
thanks, and brake it, and gave unto
them, saying: This is My body which
is given for your this do in remem-
brance of Me. Likewise also the cup
after supper, saying: "This cup is the
new testament in My blood, which is
shed for Me."
Never since that memorable even-
ing has the Church ceased to observe
the commandment of her Lord; ever
since that day, from age to age, has
this blessed and holy sacrament been
a memorial of the death of Christ.
When they arrived, the table was
spread and the cushions laid for the
guests. The central cushion was the
seat of honor and was. of course, oc-
cupied by the Lord. Each guest re-
clined at full length, leaning on his
left elbow that his right hand might
be free. The Jews had long ceased
to eat the Passover standing as it
had been done on the night of their
deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
The Passover feast began by fill-
ing each guest a cup of wine, after
which the head of the family pro-
nounced a benediction. Jesus here
observed this, for we read "And He
took the cup, and gave thanks, and
said, Take this, and divide it among

WORLD MISSIONS
The following extract is taken
from the life of Pundita Ramabai by
Mrs. J. T. Gracey:
"This has been the crowning visit
of my stay in India," writes a travel-
ler. Nothing appeals to me as does
this work of Pundits Ramabai.
There is a large church building in
which the whole community can be
seated on the floor.
"I have seen the sights of India,
the wonderful mojzntain peaks of the
Himalayas, the exquisite Taj Mahal,
and many other grand and beautiful
things, but . Mukti is the crown-
ing wonder of all.
"It was a rare privilege to be pre-
sent at the communion service. The
large church looked almost full.
The sermon was preached in Mara-
thl. Alas, for those who only know
English? I long to know what the
girls are praying for when 'I see
them in such intensity of prayer. I
wish, too, that a similar spirit might
manifest itself in the churches in
Christian lands. The reverent spirit
of the Whole service struck me as
moat touching. Pundita Ramabai
knelt in prayer during the greater
part of the service, and I realized
that this is the secret of all this mar-
vellous work for the gathering of
those jewels for the crown of Jesus.
Truly here is an object lesson of the
truth, "Prayer changes things. Yes,
lives most of all"
CANADA
Winnipeg, Man. — Shipments of
Manitoba fish to United States mar-
kets are showing a steady increase.
Better transportation accommodation
to Buffalo, N.Y., and other American
points, resulting in fish being sold .in
New York the third morning after
leaving here, has stimulated the de-
mand for the Manitoba product.
Ottawa, Ont.—Wheat flour exports
from Canada during the four months
ending in November, 1924, show
some improvement over the corres-
ponding period of 1923 according to
a bulletin issued by the bureau of
statistics. According to the report,
wheat flour shipped in the four-month
period just passed totaled slightly ov-
er 123,000:000 barrels, as compared
with 19,260,618 barrels last year.
Ottawa, Ont.—Canada's total po-
tato yield for this year is 2,572,000
hundredweights in excess of that for
1923 according to an estimate made'
by the department of agriculture. The
yield estimated for 1924 is 58,069,000
hundredweights, as compared with
55,497,000 hundredweights for last
year.
Ottawa, Ont.—An extensive market
for Canadian clover seed is being built
up in Denmark, according to a report
of the department of trade and com-
merce. Red clover is the favorite
seed of the importers, imports during
the last few years having averaged
no less than 1,620 metric tons.
Timmins, Ont.—For the third quar-
ter of 1924, Northern Ontario gold
production averaged $2,120,349 month-
ly, or on a basis of $25,444,184 year-
ly. This is the largest output in the
history of the gold mining industry
of Northern Ontario.
Toronto, Ont.—Speaking before the
Empire Club here, Hon. Charles Mc-
Crea, Minister of Mines for Ontario,
stated that the estimated output of
the mines of the province this year
will approximate between $74,000,000
and $75,000,000. He laid particular
stress on the increase in gold produc-
tion and stated that by 1928 Ontario
was expected to overtop the total
production of the United States.
Winnipeg, Man.—From January 1st
to November 15th, 1924, imports of
Canadian wheat into the United States
totaled '7,4+05;352 bushels. During
the same period 8,618,212 bushels of
Canadian wheat was imported in bond
for grinding into flour in American
mills for export.
Halifax, N. S.—A new scallop bed
has been recently discovered by the
Canadian government steamer in ,St.
Mary's Bay„ while malting a survey
along the coast in the fisheries ger-
vice. A similar discovery near Digby
last year has proved very valuable
and considerable aetivity is expected
in connection with the new' field, The

Do you know that in a recent canvass
among women users of the Vegetable
Compound over 220,000 replies were re-
ceived.' Ta the question, " Have you
received benefit by taking this medi-
cine?" 98 per cent. replied "Yes."
This means that 9R out of every 100
women are in better health because
they have given this medicine a faire
trial. •
Mrs. Morse is simply another case of
a woman receiving " great benefit."
Women suffering from the troubles so
common to their sex should listen to
what other women say who have expe-
rienced the same sufferings and found
relief. Give this dependable medicine a
chance --and at once. It is sold at all

Lethbridge, Alta.—Two new irriga-
tion districts are being launched in
Southern. Alberta, the areas involved
comprising upwards of 20,000 acres.
The Magrath project, an extension of
the existing Canadian Pacific south-
ern scheme will shortly vote on the
bonding ofd. the district, while the
Raymond 'extension district will vote
as soon on the question of erection
and organization under the terms of
the irrigation act.
Vancouver, B. C.—Annexation of the
municipality of South Vancouver to
the city, which is in prospect as the
resultof the citizens voting favorably
thereon, will add 40,000 to the city's
population of 125,000, making a total
of 165,000 within the city limits.
Revelstoke, B. C.—What is claimed
to be a record in sugar beet produc-
tion hasbeen made by Robert Tap-
ping, a Revelstoke old-timer, on his
ranch, near here, where on a trial
patch he produced this prolific root
at the rate of 57 tons to the acre.
Ottawa, Ont.—The output of coal
from Canadian mines during Septem-
ber amounted to 902;595 short tons,
an increase. of 28 per cent. over the
tonnage of the previous month. The
greatest increase was 132,000 tons in
Alberta, a . 1 of 265,000 tons for
the month.e remaining provinces
in order of their gains of output were:
Nova Scotia, up 66,000 tons to a to-
tal of 471,000. tons;, New Brunswick,
6,000 tons to 18,000 tons in all; and
Saskatchewan, 1,000 tons more, with
17,000 tons outpult. British Colum-

The radio industry has grown rap-
idly in 1924. Sales this winter are
calculated to be 300 per cent, greater
than last season.. It is 'estimated that
to -day there axe close to. 5•,000,000 re-
ceiving
eceiving sets in the United States; 1,
000,000 in England and 100,000 in
Canada. The department of agricule
ture estimates there are 375,000 re-
ceivers on farms, which is an increase
of 155 per cent. in a year.
The industry is more stabilized
than it was a year ago, The great
crowds that attended the radio shows
in New York, Chicago, Boston, Buf-
falo and Toronto, this Fall, indicated
clearly that radio has gained thous-
ands of new fd1lowers since January,
1924.
As broadcasting has widened its
'scope and gained more followers, so
has the radio industry developed. The
business has grown in four years to
a sales volume of $115,000,000 in 1923,
and the Copper and -Brass Research
Association, after a survey of the
radio field, estimates that the busi-
ness of the radio industry for 1924
will reach the $300,000,000 mark and
within two or three years sales will
reach the $500,000,000 mark.
A vacuum tube manufacturer esti-
mates that sales of tubes alone for
the present year will total in excess
of $50,000,000, while one of the lead-
ing parts manufacturers estimates
that as much as $250,000,000 will be
spent for radio parts and sets. Sales
of dry- cells and batteries are placed
at $45,000,000.
Sales of home radio equipment
alone for 1924 will reach a total of
$240,000,000, or double those of 1923.
Winnipeg, Man.—Gravelling of Lord
Selkirk highway, the principal artery
of communication between Manitoba
and the United States, will be pro-
ceeded with immediately, according
to an announcement made by the pro-
vincial deputy minister of highways.
The total estimated cost for the com-
pletion of the highway from Saint
Norbert, Man., to the international
boundary is $320,000. It will form a
connecting link with four chief high-
ways south of the border.
Winnipeg, Man.—The formation of
a mining bureau as a branch of its
activities has been announced by the
Winnipeg board of trade. The bureau
will collect data on the mining situa-
tion in the province and will do every-
thing possible to foster greater pro-
duction in Manitoba. ,
Edmonton, Alta.—That Hollanders
who have located in Alberta are mak-
ing good and are satisfied is the state-
ment of Baron W. Van Heeckeren, of
Rotterdam, after a tour of investiga-
tion.

1924 gives a basis on which a forecast
for the coming year can -be made.
The outstanding radio events of
1924 have been pictures transmitted

ROAD BUILDING IN THE COUNTY
A FARMER TELLS
EXPERIENCES
Before the snow came I was help-
ing my unfortunate county a build a
road. It's a stone road. It comes in
cars from Beachville, Dundas and
sundry places. We haul it out into
the country and put it together there.
It's a "county road." Roads nowa-
days are of four species: county, pro-
vincial, township and private. The
private road is the trail. leading to
your wood lot. Provincial roads are
called "highways." Township high-
ways are called roads—sometimes con-
cessions.
There was a time when the town-
ship did all the road making. The
municipal road system was divided
into divisions, called "road -beats,"
locally. Each road -beat had a path -
master or road -boss. When work
was slack on the farms—usually right
after spring seeding this road -boss
called his neighbors to "the beat'"
They would plow or otherwise worry
a short sector of road; put in a cul-
vert or a ditch; draw some gravel
and visit comfortably. It was quite
patchy. Good roads then meant
places where the pathmaster hadn't
functioned.
Roads were then a local affair
used mostly by local residents. The
auto has changed it all. The road to
Pumpkin Centre is still the road to
Toronto, p'raps to Montreal or other
wet parts. So we have quit thinking
of it as a road to Pumpkin Centre—
or even as an ordinary road. It has
become a provincial highway. It
and Pumpkin Centre have lost their
personality. The fellow from Holly-
wood, Cal., stops at the Pumpkin
Centre "Graf" for gas. Likewise,
other roads have been adopted by the
counties. The old-fashioned road -
boss has become a maintenance
man, with an extended road -beat, and
pay. He operates under the county
road superintendent, responsible to
the county; or the township road
superintendent, responsible to the
township. These officers receive
comfortable salaries and devote
themselves to the study of road-
ology.
All this has come about since the
reader went to live in the city. It
is still a patchy system; but the
patches are bigger. At a, -Cross road
you will find -a barricade bearing a
printed card saying "Road closed for
repairs." On the, fence beside it will
be another card saying "Detour."
This means go 'round the block. On
a tree will p'raps be/a red arrow
showing you which dock.
Thus the continent—even the world
;is fast becoming a township
Modern traffic is hard- on roads.
The heavy wagon dislodges the ma-
damn, and the speeding auto' whirls
the duet that binds unto space. Re-
pairs go on forever, like Tennyson's
creek. Tax -bills are necessarily high.
The public ,pays, and tears its hair;
but it's all quite inevitable, and arises
out of the auto. The public did, not
realize when it bought its first auto
that it must also buy a road to run
it on.
Crushed stone,. like coal, comes to .
market in all sizes. Chunks .like fur-
nace coal form the bottom of the
road; then smaller pieces 'like' chest-.';.
nut coal follow; then 'stone¢ „dust and
pebbles like pea, coal. Bach. grade. is `

LAST YEAR'S ACCIDENTS
With the thirty-first of December,
1924, industry in the. Province of On-
tario saw the completion of the first
ten years of operation of the Work-
men's Compensation Act in this Pro-
vince. During this ten-year period
442,002 accidents to workmen were
reported to the Board and of these
3,983 were fatal. In the .tan years
$45,937,221.06 was awarded in com-
pensation to injured workmen and
their widows and children and in pro-
viding medical attentiofi, hospital and
skilled nursing services and articficial
limbs and appliances. This means
that, roughly speaking, the average
accident reported to the Workmen's
Compensation Board has cost over
$100.
In 1924 there was a decrease in the
number of accidents from 1923. In
1924 there were 56,675 accidents, of
which 402 were fatal, as compared
with 61;109, of which 379 were fatal
in 1923. The total benefits awarded
during 1924 were $6,122,809.26, or
about $50,000 less . than awarded dur-
ing 1923.
Industry in Ontario may feet that
this toll of accidents is a heavy one
and yet, on the other hand, an enor-
mous amount' of good has 'resulted.

This is a rather highly hyphenated.

named members, including Sir Philip-
Lloyd-Greame, who is about to ex --

It is evident that the hyphen, had a

Even -the middle name, which is now
the rule rather than the exception, is
a comparatively msdern innovation.
