LESSON FOR APRIL 28th Lesson Topic—The Suffering Ser- vant of Jehovah. Lesson Passage—Isaiah 53:1-12. Golden Text—Isaiah 53:5. In this chapter the prophet foretold what was literally fulfilled in the per- son and ministry of the Messiah. In chapter 52:13 and also in 53:12 we are told that the Redeemer would be highly exalted. We are further told of the depth of His humiliation, and the intensity of His sorrows, as well as the fact that He would be re- jected by those to whom He was sent. It is written so plainly and vividly that one would think the prophet was writing during the life -time of Christ, He sees him a sufferer, de- spised and rejected. Het sees that few come to Him, and accept Him as their Saviour. He recalls the report which he and other prophets had made respecting him; he remembers the record which had been made cen- turies before respecting the Messiah; and he asks with deep emotion, as if present when the Redeemer lived and preached, who had credited what he and the other prophets had said of him. "Who hath believed our re- port?" The Redeemer was more suc- cessful in :Hlis work as a preacher than is commonly supposed, but still it is true that by the mass of the na- tion he was despised and that the announcement which had been made of his true character and work was rejected. The prophet proceeds to tell that there would be nothing in the Mes- siah's personal appearance t h a t would correspond to the expectations that had been formed of Him. The Redeemer was eminently the object of scorn alike by the Pharisees, the Sadduces and the Romans. In His life on earth it was so; in His death it was still so; and . since then His name and person have been extensive- ly the object of contempt. No pro- phecy was ever more strikingly ful- filled than this that He was "the re- jected of men." The vicarious character of the suf- ferings endured by the Redeemer are clearly described by the prophet in no fewer than eleven expressions as fol- lows: (1) "He bore our griefs." (2) "He carried our sorrows." (3) "He was wounded for our transgressions." (4) "Bruised for our iniquities." (5) "The chastisements of our peace was upon Him." (6) "By His stripes we are healed." (7) "The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." (8) "For the transgression of my people was Hie stricken." (9) "When thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin." (10) "He shall bear their in- iquities." (11) "He bore the sins of many." After this enumeration the prophet sets forth the reward that would fol- low in these words, "He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied." 111111111 N.

Taylor, of Van- couver, all at some time or other jestingly laid claim to the title. of "perpetual mayor" of their home city, but their civic career fell far short of Mr. Carter's., Martin and Taylor both retired by request of the electors; it is difficult to imagine such an eventu- ality in the case of the mayor of 3randon. A fighting man is this Cater. Short, slight, but wiry, 'though white-haired and in the sixties, he has frequently found himself running'counter to pub- ic opinion on some important ques- tion of policy. Since he first entered the city council as alderman in 1909 he has more than once been in a min- ority of one, and occasionally has had eminent legal opinion running counter. to his views. Yet Mr. Carter has nearly always been right. Some time before he was elected mayor for the first time he vas the most execrated man in Bran-. don because he fought stubbornly against guaranteeing -the bonds of an eastern firm, which offered to build in the wheat city and conduct an im- mense business from there. Cater's lack of faith in these fine promises was amply justified by later events, and his election was the reward of his foresight. Parry Cater arrived in Brandon in 1889, a young and poor immigrant from England. Brandon was then rough and raw, but young Cater look- ed at a large map in the post office, noted the strategic position of the town, and convinced himself that its , growth and importance were inevit-` able. He decided to stick. Pick and shovel work in the public streets was the only work he could get, and the pay was a dollar a day. ' That looked like big money to the green young Englishman until he found out that, owing to a scarcity of cash in the civic exchequer, half hisi wages would have to be paid in eggs and • butter! As eggs were far too expensive for a laboring man to eat as a regular I diet—though not worth much to the ' farmer owners of outlying lots who had turned them in as payment- for taxes—Harry Cater peddled his eggs on Saturday evenings in the more prosperous districts, and• paid his boarding house bill in butter. Possibly because he has never for- gotten those far-off days when the funds of the city of Brandon were perilously low, he now leaves his sal- ary untouched in the civic treasury, even though Brandon's finances stand second to none in the Canadian west and a large reserve is set up against unpaid taxes, each year, thanks to Mayor Cater's efficient administration. It is his intention to remain mayor as long as he is fit and the people will have him. "Brandon has given me what moderate wealth I possess, he says, "so why should I not give Brandon the best public service I am capable of?" in mind its considerable artistic achievement and artistic interests— the great popularity of Handel—the canvases of Hogarth, Reynolds, Gains- borough—the acting of Garrick and Siddons—the noble architecture of Wren and his successors, in the sim- ple beauty of domestic architecture and decoration, the names of Adam, Chippendale and Sheraton. The brilliant achievement of the Seven Years War under the master- ful inspiration of Pitt was legitimate cause for pride—Canada and India were added to the Empire. There are many different aids to anyone who 'wishes to imbibe the at- mosphere of the eighteenth century but the best guides are the fiction and its memoirs. The eighteenth century novel is essentially a novel of manners. From this source—De Foe, Smollett, Fielding, Fanny Burney and Richardson, a living picture of the average man as a real live individual can be obtained. In this literature the criminal also bulks largely and deeds of violence are common — the highway was the characteristic crim- inal. It is in this period that the phrase "blue stocking" first appears and the century produced women of very not- able power and intellect—as Sarah Jennings, Lady Suffolk—not only the confidante of George II., but the friend and correspondent .of Pope, Swift, Arbuthnot, Gay, Bolingbroke, Chesterfield and others; Selina, Coun- tess of Huntingdon, Mrs. Siddons, Fanny Burney, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu], Hannah More and at the very end Mrya Wollstonecraft, who published her "Rights of Women" in 1793. It is hard to realize that in the midst of this literary development, as late as id -century, the London - .Edinburgh each ran only once a week and took between a fortnight and three weeks on the journey. But now comes the marvellous develop- ment in manufacture—the invention of the spinning jenny, the power loom, the engine of James Watt and the effective smelting of coal. Hitherto the spinning wheel and hand loom had been part of the cot- tage furniture and manufacture had been domestic, but the advent of ma- chinery changed all this. With this industrial revolution came its attend- ant evils—slums, child labor, long hours and definite class distinction of capital and labor. • ' There is no phase that is not touch- ed on in this comprehensive survey. Splendid insight into the character of the outstanding men is given—men such as Walpole, Pitt, "the great commoner." Burke, etc. There are sections on Rockington and the Radi- cals, the Divines, the artists, Drama, Stage and Music, Empire Builders, Soldiers, Admirals. A very helpful feature is the list at the end of each chapter of suggested readings. Not the least of the merits are the prolific illustrations. From them a- lone a very good idea of the times could he formed. Among them is a charming silhouette of Queen Char- lotte and her favorite pug; a coffee house; aperruquier's shop; para- graphs from newspapers; fashions of the day; pictures of towns; portraits of notables, and perhaps the most in- teresting of all are the timely carica- tures. The book is called -an illustrated narra.ive and well does it 'live up to this title. It contains endless enjoy- ment an -1 information, is most read- able and gives a remarkable survey of and insight into this remarkable period of English history. WORLD MISSIONS Dr. Y. C. Yang, President of Soo - chow University, and the son of a Methodist minister, at a recent gath- ering told his audience that Christian leadership was developing in China. "Of her ten Cabinet ministers," he said, "six were educated in United States colleges and universities and four are Christians. Leaders in ev- ery profession and business are also college -trained, and many are Chris- tians. 'Christianity in China has come to stay, and will continue to grow."—The New Outlook. BOOK LOVERS' CORNER (By Marjorie M. Powell) "A Good Book is the Best Companion" "English Men and Manners in the Eighteenth Century," by 'A. S. Turb- erville, published by the Oxford Uni- versity Press, Toronto, 513 pages, $3. "The Period of English History of which this book treats is sometimes known as the classical or Augustan age. This designation refers to the character of its literature. Every age in developing its own distinctive genius is to a certain extent in re- action against its predecessor. Such is the explanation of the literary school which dominates the first part of the period—the school of Pope. At this time developed the Coffee Houses, which became so popular and which performed the function, nowa- days exercised by the literary journal of criticizing the current poetry, dra- ma and other writings of the day. And what celebrated habitues those coffee houses had! This is indeed one of the greatest periods of English prose, including as it does the names of Defoe, Hume, Burke and Gibbon. Eighteenth cen- tury oratory is as great as its prose literature. Fmglish eloquence reach- ed its greatest height in the speech- es o€ Chatham and Burke, and on only a slightly lower plane were those of Bolingbroke, Hardwicke, Sheridan, Fox, and Erskine. This was a reasonable age. The eighteenth century was an eminently tolerant age. The charge is frequently brought against this country that it was ex- tremely coarse in mind and manners. It Was a coarseness of fibre as well as of language. but there was also the crusade of Steele and Addison in the Tatler and the Spectator to re- fine the public taste and the appeal of or. pabnson's Rambles', strong by reason of its sound mainly sense and hatred of shams.
