Golden Text—Isaiah 53:3.
"And in the evening He cometh
with the twelve.
"And as they sat and did eat, Jes-
us said, Verily I say unto you, one
of you which eateth with Me shall
betray Me.
"And they began to be sorrowful
and to say unto Him one by one, is
it I? And another said: Is' it I?
"'And He answered and said unto
them: It is one of the twelve that
dsppeth with eMe in the dish.
"The Son of Man indeed goeth, as
it is written of Him; but woe to
that bran by wham the son of man
is betrayed; good were it for that
span if he had never been born.
"And as they did eat. Jesus took
breast, and blessed, and brake it, and
gave to them, and said: Take, eat;
this is My body.
"And He tank the cup and when
He had given thanks, He gave it •to
them; and they all drank of it.
-"And He said unto theme This is
My blood of the new testament which
is shed for many.
"Verily I say unto 'you, I will drink
no more of the ,fruit of the vine, un-
til that 'day that I drink it new in
the kingdom .of God. And when they
had sung a hymn, they went out in-
to the Mount of Olives.
"And Jesus saith unto them: All
ye shall be offended because of •Me
this night; for it is written, 1 will
,smite the shepherd, and the sheep
shall be scattered. erBut 'after that I
aunt risen, I will go before you into
Galilee. •
°But Peter said unto Him: Al-
though all shall be ofiended, yet will
not I.
F'And Jesus saith unto him: Verily
I say unto thee, That this da}", even
in this night, before the cock crow
Twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.
"But He spake the more vehement-
ly: If I should die with thee. I will
not deny Thee in•.any wise. Likewise
also said they all."
'This simple, realistic telling of the
institution of the Lord's Supper does
not need to be enlarged upon to the
listening ear and the understanding
mind and the receptive heart. How-
ever, we cannot but wonder how
Nark could have • had such an inti-
mate knowledge of it. The following
taken from "The Life of St. Mark
the Fs"angelis ' in The Pulpit, Com-
anentary throne some light upon it:
He was the son of a certain Mary
anho dwelt in Jerusalem. She appears
to have been well known, and to
halve Ibeemi in a good position. Her

disciples of our Lord. It is possible
that hers may have been the house
where, our Lord "kept the Passover"
with His disciples on the night of His
nietrayal. It is then more than prob-
able that He, a young ,man, was in

ing, and at the close, suddenly decid-
ito follow and observe still fur-
t31er, he quickly eallatc,hed up a sheet
and threw it rou'fid Him. The action
corresponds with what we know of
his character, which appears to have
'been warm-hearted and earnest, but
timid and impulsive. Indeed, nothing
but the name is wanting to complete
the evidence of the identity of "John
whose surname was Mark" with

Mark„ the writer of this gospel. It
will be remembered that St. John in
his gospel .evidently speaks of him-
self more than once without mention-
ing his name, calling himself "an-
other disciple." St. Mark quite prob-
ably did the sane in these words-•
"And there followed him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth cast
about his naked badly; and the, young
filen laid hold on him, and he left
the linen cloth -end nd fled from, them

WORLD MISSIONS
A Communion Service in North Sas-
katchewan, by Rev. R. B. Cochrane,
D.D.
The whole eomrpany, lined up and,
singing a (Hungarian hymn we ina.rch-
ed in procession, into the church, the
three visitors occupying the chairs
itn.the pulpit, Dr. Hoffmtan officiating
at the Communion Table below, and
the rest standing in a semi -circle
facing its. The rafters were still
here, it is true, and there were no
chairs anywhere. Everywhere there
were; signs that we were on the fringe
of civilization and that the people
were living 'in very primitive con-
ditions. But I Will never forget the
worshipfulness and the reverence
which that • morning permeated the
service in that little church in the
northern bush. There was no 'musi-
cal instrument, but the service was
fully choral. Two sweet-faced wo-
men with lovely voices led us in the
chanting of the Hungarian Protes-
tant ritual. There were not enough
books to go round, but the people
seenied to know the service by heart
and .men and, women alike joined
heartily in the responses. One little
babe was 'baptized. The father was
in 'a tuberculosis sanitarium some
place in the t•outhern 'part of the
province, and the missionary's Scotch
wife stood beside the mother for the
sacrament. The baptismal bowl was
a plain tin kitchen wash basin. It
stood on a block of wood. But both
basin and block were, encircled With
leaves and green from the bush
round about, and in the watein float-
ed some beautiful little wild flowers.
Then, toward the end, the mission-
ary turned to me and said': "We are
about to celebrate the Holy Com-
munion," and asked me to share. in
,the conduct of this part of the ser-
vice. The older people did. not un-
derstand English and the words of
institution of the sacrament were un-
intelligible to then. The bread and
wine, 'however, spoke to .all of us:
the symbols very really told their
stoxy of the sacrificial love of the
San of God. It was all very quiet,
very real and very beautiful. I 'halve
been at the Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper in some very wonderful
churches, and have felt the living
Lord very near, but never more; so
than among these fellow -Canadians
of mine from Hungary away up yon:
der amid the •Saskatchewan north-
land. The service ended by the sing-
ing of the Hungarian National Ar -
,them by the adults, and God Save
the King by the children who had
learned it during their one year at
school since corning to Canada.

When the writer visited Williams-
burg some of the patients were piti-
fully crippled!, yet the outstanding
impression one gained was of amaz-
ing cheerfulness. You see agony flash
across smiling faces, as the doctor's
strong hands work, but the. smile
,retrains. If courage .is an anodyne,
there is courage here. Occasionally a
'question is asked, and is answered in

look straight at the patient. There
is none of the gracio'is bed -side man-

"What about the charge that you
have not seen .fit to tell' about ,your
methods, and have written nothing"re-
garding it?"
;The 'doctor smiled at that. '"I have
been pretty busy," he said. "Quite
often last summer' worked from sev-
en im the morning until 11 at night.
'That .'doesn't leave nnseh time for
writing. As for refusing doctors any
information, I have not refused. Re-
cently eI had three doctors here from
the Presbyterian 'Hospital of New
York City. I had' them, beside me,
showed thein what I was doing„ of-
fered to let them try the treatment
th•eneselves. That has been my prac-
tice. I am ready to let any -doctor
watch m:y work."
``What about your success in ma-
ternity eases and the treatment of
goiter?"
"I have been successful in my ma-
ternity work," Dr. Locke admitted.
"You know there is a good deal of
the 'manipulative in it. Many a doc-
tor who knows what to do, as well or
better than I, can't do it because he
hasn't the strength in his hands.
"As for goiter. From 55 to 90 per
cent. of sufferers from, arthritis suf-
fer from goiter as. well. The treat-
ment that helps' the arthritis, along
with certain medical treatment, in
mre experience does cure goiter."
"And abgrut the shoes? 'The 'sntb-
sidiary industry' mentioned by the
bureau?"
"I was interested in that, but I am
not so - any longer. I sold out my in-
terest, and the producers are only
permitted to make such use of My
association with them, as is authoriz-
ed by the Ontario 'Medical Associa-
tion."
I asked Dr. Locke why he had not
hung out his shingle on a city street.
"I was brought up on a farm," he
said, `and 3 don't like the city. I'm
e farther at heart. S raise Holstein
cattle and have 30,000 pine trees
growing. I have not been offered a
position in any American hospital, as
bas been suggested. If I were, I
weuldent talke it. I'm staying here
'because I like it."
We returned to the question of
'arthritis. "You think it ie curable,
Doctor ? "
"Yes, in its early stages,, readily;
in its later stages ,with great dif-
ficulty. But before the joints are de-
stroyed, it is curable and the joints
are not destroye4,while cartilage re-
mains."

tor?"

When Mrs. S. came to Wil-

stood on it, she would tumble to the

this condition camee other functional
disorders. They have gone now, and
Mrs. S- walks as straight and

Bargains In 41d Masters
(By James H. Young, condensed in Magazine Digest from Chamber's
.journal, London.)
Few stories are 'more "romairtic'
than the really extraordinary histor-
ies of those famous pictures that
have been discovered in out -of -the.
way corners or picked up for a mere
bagatelle in secondhand shops or
auction ' rooms.
,Ocie would have thought that it
was almost impessible nowadays to
find a work of art in this haphazard
manner. Yet to the individual with
•a "flair" for a good picture, the
chance is not quite so remote as it
might seems. Every now and then an
enthusiast seems able to get his eye
glued to a canvas. which no one else
had thought worth while, bothering
albout, and he finds himself the proud
possessor of an "old master."
A case in point happened recently
*hen an earlier worker of Sir
Joshua Reynolds, worth enure than
$5,000 was found in an ash -bucket in
an Edinburgh street. An antique
dealer bought it for only a fe,v ,Shil-
lings, had it examined by an art
authority and was told that he had
acquired a genuine Reynolds with
the :faster's signature.
A few years ago a socially prom-
ineent English gentleman • found a
Frans Hats ,painting in his lumber
room. He was prepared to part with
it for a few dollars hut realized near-
ly .$10,000.00.
Another Frans Hals was bought
for 880, in an old curiosity shop in
London and after changing several
hands :was disposed of for $40,000.
To fill a space in a dining room, a
large canvas was bought cheaply and
turned out to be a genuine Gains-
borough. Another Gainsborough in
rather bad condition was put up for
sale at Christie's. The old lady who
owned it asked $25, but the picture
was •kn•ocked down to Ma -s. :Charles
Wertheimer for $415,404. A Bond
Street art dealer, to whom it had
(been previously offered for $25,' had
rejected it.
Even more remarkable is the his-
tory of Raphae'I's "Three Graces."
It wgs discovered in Italy by the
French art lover. Her i'i Rabaul who
purchased it for a few francs. He
offered it to the Louvre but it was
refused. Raboul eventually sold it
to an Englishman; for $750: The
picture then changed hands several
times and was finally acquired by
the Duke d'Aumabe for more than
$125,000.
1Laphael's pictures would appear to
be particularly ill-fated. His "Holy
Family" was found in the cottage of
an Italian rpeasant who had used it'
as a window pane. "Adalnv and Eve"
now at, the 'Vatican Gallery, was or-
iginally bought in a.dnrsty little Par-
is shop for'' $25 by an artist Who'
pronliptly resold it for $f2),006. An
original Raphael red chalk drawing
was picked up by an amlatetar fur' 15
cents.
An Irish connoisseur, Mr. H. Sin-
clair, made one of the most notable
finds of the century, when he discov-
ered in an old Tipperary mansion
an original Rembrandt, the .portrait
of the IMaste'rn wife Saskia Van
Ulenboreh. For over,. two centuries
•the masterpiece had been lost to the
world. although it was hl excellent
condition and in every way similar
to the portrait drawing of Rem-
brandt's wife. in the Berlin Museum.
Feckhout'•s "Jacob's Dream of the
Lander" was bought for a few shil-
lings in a Dundee auction room. Ex-
perts valued, it at $10,000.
A Manchester bank clerk owned
a picture which his mother had .left
w
him andhich appeared to have
some value. But the young urian had
no use for somber paintings, old or
new, and he put it up for sale at
Christie's. There he was told that it
was rare and valuable and when the
auctioneer's hammer fell, the bank
clerk had the pleasant surprise of
being $30,000 richer. The " picture
turned out to be a nor•trait' by the
Dutch master Bernard Fabritius of
the Remlbrand•t school.
,It is even more difficult to under-
stand how the owner of a Sussex
mansion could have remained una-
ware of being the possessor, of a
genuine Romney. The picture was
noticed by an insurance company's
furniture appraiser who insisted it
was a treasure. It was taken to an
expert who pronounced it a ' Rom-
ney. But the owner was not convinc-
ed until three days later, when it was
solar for about $30,000 to an eminent
Londola art critic.
!Famous works of art are indeed
found! in queer places. Anothess
Romney was discovered in a modest
cottage in Salem, New Jersey. I•t
had originally belonged to. one John
Robotham„ who emigrated from Eng-
land to America. Robatham had been
unaware of the value of the canvas
but it seemis that he did knew that
it was a Romney, the painter having
been a client of his father's inn and
plaid a drinking bill with the picture.
One of Teniers's first canvases was
foiind in a :Mexican church where it
was held iri reverent esteem. 'A Van
Dyck was actually picked up from a
rulbbish-heap itt Antwerp scene years
ago, while a' beautiful painting by-
Meniline was discovered by ;tourists
in a herrnit'smottage among the
'mountains of northern, Italy. A can-
vas' ebv Guido which its owner had
sold for $°125 -"at Torquay found a
second pnirehaser for $10,000.
Obviously the " orty buyer' may
find an opportunity in any old place
—even the refuse -'heaps of a city
And the older 'and more grimy a 'pic-
ture, the greater the chance of it
turning oat to be a Corot or a Bellini.
