World Championships in 1932 will be won by farmers
who recognize that the cleanest and best quality
seed with the most careful cultivation are essential
to the production of exhibition grain. While it is
recognized that these things should apply to the
whole crop area, concentration upon a small plot is
the best plan for securing an exhibit sample. If
such a plot is subjected to extra preparation—with
more care probably than it is possible to devote to
the whole crop area—and sown to the very choicest
seed it will not only provide good quality foundation
stock for next spring's seeding, but a winning
sample for exhibition at

S. S LESSON FOR APRIL 5th, 1931
Lesson Topic—Easter Lesson—The
Resurrection. ,
Lesson Passage -1 Corinthians 15:
1-8, 50-58.
Golden Text -1 Corinthians 15:20.
In verses 1-4 we have Paul recall-
ing to the remembrance of the Corin-
thian church members the gospel he
had preachedto them, which also they
received. The articles of his creed
were few and plain. "Christ died; He
was buried; He rose again." They
constituted his message and his mis-
sion, both of which came to him di-
rectly from the Lord. Paul reminds
the Corinthians how, in delivering to
them that which he received concern-
ing the death, burial and resurrection
of Christ, it was his practice to ap-
peal to the testimony of the original
apostles who were eye -witnesses of
the resurrection of Christ. What fur-
ther proof would be necessary than
the array of eye -witnesses to the fact
of Christ's death, 'burial and resur-
rection, which Paul sets forth in vers-
es 5 to 8. Any historian would con-
sider such testimony conclusive. •
In verses 50-58, Paul deals with a
great mystery—the Resurrection. Pro-
fessor David Smith in an address on
the Resurrection says in part: "The
resurrection of the dead is in truth
the very heart of the Christian rev-
elation; yet it is an inscrutable mys-
tery. It transcends our understand-
ing, and unless we be led lay the Holy
Spirit into the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the Face of
Jesus Christ, it must transcend our
faith. When Paul proclaimed it in
Corinth, that brilliant Greek city with
its long tradition of philosophic cul-
ture, it was not surprising that it was
received with incredulity. Knowing
that the body when committed to the
grave decays, crumbles and vanishes
away it was not to be wondered at
'that these Corinthians derided Paul's
assertion that "this corruptible must
put on incorruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality." All through
this immortal chapter Paul reasons
about this and refers them to what
is seen all around them in this great,
mysterious world: "That which thou
sowest, thou sowest not that body
that shall be, but bare grain, it may
chance of wheat, or of some other
gram; but God giveth it a body as
it hath pleased him, and to every seed
its own body. So also is the resur-
rection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorrup-
tion."
A Scottish gentleman, interested in
antiquities, had gone travelling in
Egypt; and there he visited an anc-
ient "city of the dead," where the
bodies, embalmed against decay, had
lain for thousands of years. The old
Egyptians believed that the soul
would one day reanimate the body,
and, lest the dead should awake and
find himself destitute, they were wont
to place a store of provisions by his
side. Inspecting a sarcophagus, the
traveller found in it the customary
provisions and abstracted a handful
of peas, all dry and withered, since
they had lain there, as he reckoned,
some five thousand years. He brought
them home and planted them in his
garden. It seemed a hopeless experi-
ment; for surely the life had gone
out of them. But presently green
shoots appeared; and they grew and
blossomed with flowers of rare beau-
ty and sweetness; and then pods form-
ed and ripened, and when they were
plucked and opened, they were full of
peas larger and richer than our cold
climate produces. God had quickened
the seed: and, you see, it had to die
that it might be quickened. For five
thousand yearssit had been preserved
from decay; and it was only when it
had been laid in the ground and rot-
ted away, that it sprang in newness
of life.
And this is like the Resurrection.
"Some man will say, "How are the
dead raised up? and with what man-
ner of body do they come? Ah, blind,
unperceiving man! That which thou
sowest is not quickened except it die."
Death is not only the Gate of Life;
it is that pathway to a larger, richer
and more beautiful life. A handful
of seed cast into the earth die; but
it lives again—not a poor handful but
an :abundant and glorious harvest."
Another writer says of the blessed-
ness of seeing beyond the grave that
it is recorded that Paulinus of Took
preached the gospel in Northumbria,
England, in the reign of King Edwin.
When heard by the king and his re-
tinue, Edwin remained silent but one
of his warriors arose and said, "A.
round us lies' the black land of Night.
After a pause he became poetical and
voiced his belief thus—

It should be explained that the com-
mon name for leprosy in Japan means
"cursed of heaven!' The gaddest
thing is that the leper thus regards
himself. • It is not unusual for a man
to state that the most awful moment
of his life was when he found out he
was a leper, the first thought being,
"Then I have no soul! I am cursed
for this life and the next." Listen
to the story of this leper: "Only
twice in my life have I cried from the
depths of my heart; the first time was
from sheer agon0 I had passed the
written examination for the navy, and
in the ,physical examination it was
found that I was a leper. Then all
my life seemed utterly at an end. I
came to the hospital of the "Ressurec-
tiosIto�f Hope," and it was there that
el'
I rmber.for the second time in my
life crying' from the depths of my
heart. This time my tears were a
passion of joy, not agony. Through
the kindness and the teaching there I
had become a disciple of Christ, and
one day I realized first that God is in
my heart, and then that He is using
even me; a man as good as dead, to
bless and cheer others. This wonder-
ful joy 'was so great that my heart
seemed breaking for thankfulness."—
From Fruits of Christian Missions in
Japan.
"Athwart the room a sparrow
Darts from the open door;
Within the happy hearth -light,
One read flash and no more!
We see it come from darkness,
'And into darkness go:—
So
o:So is our life, King Edwin!
Alas that it is so!
But if this pale Paulinus
Heave somewhat more to tell;
Some news of whence and whither,
And where the soul will dwell—
If on that outer darkness
The sun of hope may shine,
He makes life worth the living:
I take his '"rod for 'mine."
WORLD MISSIONS
How much relief from suffering,
how much hope and joy is given hu-
man life by those missionaries who
deaote their lives to work among the
lepers. A bit of experience from a
patient tray help to gime the reader
some faint conception.
THE COLLEGE BLUES
once.
These facts are pointed out by L.
M. Hussey in the '!American Mercury
who comments upon some startling
facts unearthed by the psychiatrists
in the short time in which they have
been at work. In 1929, for instance,
5,000 men, women and children were
examined by psychiatrists in Phila-
delphia. The subjects included crim-
inals, dependents, and men and wo-
men whose domestic difficulties had
brought them before the domestic re-
lations court. They constituted, there-
fore, a special class of the commun-
ity, and yet not a special criminal
class by any means. Yet it is from
this class that most of the criminals
emerge. It was found that 60 per
cent. of them were mentally deficient.
Commenting upon this a psychiatrist
says: "In the vast majority of'cas-
es the defective emotions determine
the criminal, while the level of intel-
ligence determines the nature of the
crime.” Thus the least defective be-
come the forgers and the confidence
men. The enterprising high grade
moron is the stick-up man and the low
grade moron is the sneak thief. Any
crime from petty theft to murder may
be committed by the idiot and the
feebleminded.
Dr. Glueck, who made the first
extensive psychiatric survey of crim-
inals in the 'United States reported
that 60 per cent. of the inmates of
Sing Sing were mentally subnormal,
psychopathic, or insance. Examining
the populations of two Illinois peni-
tentiaries, Dr. Adler reported that of
1,285, only 28 were normal. Other
experts have found a much greater
percentage of convicts who are, by
all ordinary standards, sane. But
not one of them doubts that in most
penitentiaries there are prisoners
who should be in asylums. Despite
this fact the psychiatrist has made
little headway in the courts. The
tendency seems to be toward heavier
and heavier sentences, and this is as
manifest, and as imbecile, in Canada
as in the United States: For ex-
ample, it is agreed that the two
crimes of incest and rape are hardly
ever committed by the mentally nor:
mal. Yet 15 years' imprisonment
and death are the most generally
imposed sentences for these crimes
the reason simply being that they are
more horrifying to the- average man
than all other crines.
In. many cases the judges have no
discretionary power. They are bound
by the laws, and once a prisoner has
been found guilty it is to waste
the time of the court for a psychia-
trist to explain how little responsible
is the man about whose neck the rope
is about to lit fastened. Some years
ago Chief Justice Olsen, of the Mun-
icipal Court of Chicago, said that
when he was State's attorney for
Cook County he had successfully
prosecuted seven cases of murder in
the first degree. All the victims were
hanged. A subsequent analysis of
the medical records showed that six
of the murderers were morons; that
five of them showed symptoms of
dementia praecox while in the death
cell; that one had epilepsy and that
but one of the seven was mentally
normal. Yet when these criminals
faced the judge not one revealed any
obvious symptoms of inoanity. The
judge, therefore. had no option, -but to
pronounce the death sentence.
The psychiatrists get their chance
in the domestic relations court
where the judges have wide discre-
tionary powers. and where the cul-
prits are so often juveniles. However
hard boiled a judge may be, he may
reasonably be expected to believe
that all the boys who appear before
him are not equally wicked and
equally beyond redemption, and may
be induced, therefore, to adapt the
punishment to the criminal rather
than to the crime. But judges and
legislators are loath to accept the
theories of the psychiatrist with re-
gard to adult criminals, and ready to
embrace the general police dictum
that if a man is not a criminal he will
not be arrested. The alienists have a
long way to go before they will be
clothed with judicial authority and the
treatment they prescribe accepted in
lieu of the sentences which the judges
pronounce.
Carol had always been a "home-
body," and at college lonesomeness
affected her work. 'She couldn't seem
to study, and despaired of passing
her examinations. Wisely, her mother
thought of telephoning her ever so
often and keeping her cheered up.
It saved the day—and Carol passed
in easy fashion.
MENTALITY OF CRIMINALS IS A
MODERN STUDY
Though we have been for a long
time familiar witb the expert witness-
es, especially the alienists who arose
in court and sought to show that a
person convinced of a crime was not
responsible for his act, though he
seemed in other respects normal, it
is only since 1917 that there has been
any expert examination by psychiat-
rists of criminals on this continent.
It is well to bear this fact in mind
when one is dispose--' te jeer at the
alienists when they present them-
selves in court_ They have had only
thirteen years to estah•lish thetn_:elves
and, if we find them rreline; among
themselves, it cannot he wondered at.
Absolute facts upon which all agree
are by no means numerous- L pon
many cases one -wilI find as many dif-
ferent expert opiniente as there are
witnesses. These are the borderline
cases, and by far the most difficult
to deal with. th. Yet there is a large
percentage of cases in which substan-
tial agreement will he found among
psychiatrists, even though they may
prefer to apply different names and
perhaps ascribe different degrees of
abnormality-. This is being recogniz-
ed by many courts in the 'United
States which are taking advantage of
.he newly -acquired wisdom of psy-
chiatrists. But in a great many cas-
es, and these the most important, the
law does not recognize the new sei-

salts of Kruschen have a direct effect
upon the whole blood stream, neutral-
ising uric acid, which is the recognised
cause of rheumatism- They also
restore the eliminating organs to proper

ENGLISH WEEKLY REVIEWS A
UNIQUE INSTITUTION
Should Lived George enter the Mac-
)enald Government one might look
hack and remark with some relish
that he 'fled foreseen the event in an -
ether event which passed without
much Sf1,1ral comment, namely, the
reert;irg of the New Statesman ani
although the paper has never hesitat-
ed to criticize the Labor Government,
it is supposed fairly to represent the
state of mind of the more conservative
element of the Labor party. Similar-
ly the Nation, which has spoken for
that portion of the Liberal party that
recognizes and admires Lloyd
George's leadership. But one could
easily be misled by emphasizing these
facts, the important truth being that
both are absolutely independent pap-
ers, expressing the views of their edi-
tors rather than the views of political
leaders. When these views differ it
is the editor's which are published.
Another extraordinary fact is that de-
spite the absolute independence of
the English reviews only one of them
is financially independent. The others
are subsidized from one source or an-
other.
Many of our readers, no* doubt, are
subscribers to one or other of the
distinguished little group of English
six -penny reviews, whose chief pre-
occupations are with polities, and
whose, second love is literature. But
probably many more are acquainted
with their nearest American proto-
types, the Nation and the New Re-
public. There is an important dif-
ference betteen them. The Ameri-
can weeklies are mainly critical. The
political theories which they espouse
are, rgenerally speaking, academical.
They represent a minbrity+ opinion
always. They are not in sueh close

touch with political events. But the
editors of the best London 'weeklies
are as likely as not to be dining the
night before they write their chief
articles with some member of the
Government or some distinguished
leader of an Opposition. They are
not separated from the :subjects they
study by the distance from New York
to Washington. Their papers may
have a mulch closer relationship to
some one of the three great parties
than the American weeklies have to
even a smalil political group.
They have also something else
which has not yet been established
on this continent, and that is a spe-
cial tradition. The Spectator, the
Nation, the New Statesman, the 'Sat-
urday Review and the Week -End Re-
view, to mention the most important
of them, with the London Times, the
Morning Post and the Manchester
Guardian, which no other daily news-
paper, no other publication of any
kind, occupies. Though their circula-
tion is small, their influence is im-
mense. An article appears in one of
them with a circulation of about 20,-
000—and only the Spectator has such
a large circulation—but among the
20.000 will be most of the important
editors, public men, and chief civil
servants in England. It will also be
read by the statesmen of Europe.
Paraphrased it will reappear in a
hundred daily newspapers with large
circulations, and 'thus its ideas have
an embracing !and penetrative qual-
ity that is denied to other ideas that
originate in a less influential quar-
ter. These magazines make no con-
cessions to advertisers, to Prime Min-
isters or crowned heads. Th`e'lr abso-
lute independence is everywhere ac-
cepted, even when they are vigorous-
ly supporting a political party or
party chief.
In one sense the English reviews
constitute a paradox. It' is a prin-
ciple accepted among newspapers
generally that newspapers to be ab-
solutely independent of all classes
and interests have to be wealthy. It
is those which are struggling to keep
afloat which are supposed to be most
likely to succumb to temptation.
They are like the man of means who,
within certain limits, can indulge
himself in the luxury of saying ex-
actly what he thinks. The English
reviews, with the exception of the.
Spectator, are not financially inde-
pendent. All of them are subsidized.
Sometimes the publishers are content
to operate at a loss year after year.
Perhaps a wealthy man finds pleas-
ure in coming to the support of some -
paper whose name is a household:
word. 'But it is an unheard-of thing
for these benefactors to interfere with
the editors. Or rather it was almost
an unheard-of thing until a few-
months
ewmonths ago when the proprietors of
the Saturday Review instructed their -
editor to support a certain 'policy of
Imperial Free Trade in which he did
not believe.
Rather than obey, the editor re-
signed and his staff resigned with.
him. Within a week they founded
the Week -End Review which in a
month or so had become one of the
liveliest and most popular of the -
weekly reviews. Of course, a large
circulation without political influ-
ence is not a paradox. We can re-
member Mr. Ferguson speaking of the -
Star as the paper with the largest
circulation but the smallest influ-
ence of any paper in Toronto. We
do not agree with this estimate. But
it might be true, for Clifford Sharp,
formerly editor of the New States-
man, says that Lord Beaverbrook
once complained to him that in spite
of the great circulation of his news-
papers they seemed to have no politi-
cal influence at all. If it is not im-
polite, we might suggest that the
News of the World, with the largest
weekly circulation in England, isc al-
most without political influence, and'
is no doubt satisfied 'with this condi-
tion. The merging of the two famous
papers may, we hope, guarantee the
joint publication a prolonged exist-
ence which might have been impos-
sible had they continued to stand
alone,
