B. S. LESSON FOR JUNE 11, 1933
Lesson Topic—Jesus op the Cross.
Lesson Passage ---,Mark 15:22-39.
Golden Text—Romans ,5_8.
After Jesus had been relieved of
Bis cross by it ,being laid on the
shoulders of one Simon of Cyrene,
He was able to turn and look upon
and speak to the women who teating"
on their breasts, rent the ..air with
their lamentations until He hushed
their shrill cries with, words of solemn
warning, "Daughters of Jerusalem,
weep not for Me, but for yourselves
weep and for your children." This
solemn warning, the last sermon of
Christ on earth, was meant primar-
iily for those who heard it; but, like
all the Words of Christ, it has deep-
er and wider meaning for all 'man-
kind. They waari each human being
who willingly lives in sin, that
though the patience of God waits,
and His silence is unbroken, yet the
.days shall come when H/e shall speak
in 'thunder, and His wrath shall burn
like fire (Farrar's Life of Christ).
As in our last lesson, so in this it
is as one writer says: "Wie refrain
from enlarging on the details of the
trial, the scourging and the erucifi-

We set the lesson down then in the
way in which St, Mark recorded it.
:And they bring Him unto the place
Golgotha, which is being interpreted,
the place of a skull.
And they gave Him toi drink wine
mingled with myrrh; but He receiv-
ed it not. And when they had cruei-
fied Him, they pard His garments,
casting lots upon them, what every
Man should take. And it was the
third hour, and 'they crucified Him.
And the subenscription of His ac-
cusation was written over, The King
of the Jews,
And with Him they crucify two
thieves, the one on His right hand,
and the other on His left.
And the scripture was fulfilled,
which saith: And He was numbered
with the transgressors.
And they that passed by railed on
Him, wagging their 'heads and say-
ing: Ah, thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three,days,
Save Thyself, and come down from
the cross.
•Likeivise, also the chief priests
mocking said among themselves with
the Scribes: He saved 'others; Him-
self He cannot save.
'Let 'Christ the (ting of Israel des-
cend now from the cross, that we
may see and believe. And they that
were crucified with Him reviled Him.
And when the sixth hour was come
there was darkness over the whole
land.untii the ninth hour.
And at the ninth 'hour Jesus cried
with a loud n ioice, saying: Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani? which is, being
interpreted, taly God, my God, why
bast Thous forsaken lisle?'
Andra a>;te of 'th ince,, that stood' by,
when they heard it, said: Behold, ale
calletlh Elias.
And one ran and filled a sponge
full of vinegar and .put it on a read
and gave 111111Tim fio dx"ink, saying: Let
alone; diet us' see whether Elias will
coni,e to take Him down.
And Jelsuus cried with a loud voice
and gave up the gdlost.
And the veil of the temple was
rent In twain from the top, to the
bottom.
And when the Centurion, which
stood over against him, saw that He
so cried out, and gave 'up the ghost,
he said; Truly this man was the Son
of God.

Attitude of the Turks' Towards
Missions.
A brochure .published in Constan-
tinople in 1922 and pi tiled "Faith and
Life,'" by Ismail IHiak'ki Bey, a.: ,pro-
fessor in the University of Constari
tinople, is very enlightening. In the
otiening pages Ismail Hakki 'Bey 're-
ports the result of a questionnaire
sent to the ninety students of the
fourth year in the Turkish Normal
School for Men (during 1921) and
asked their attitude toward the Mos-
lem religion. The professor says:
"Three declined to answer;r" one
said he was, an agnostic; one said for
the present he was in favor of Is-
lam; one said he •was for it, provid-
ing it did not interfere with nation-
alism; one said he was little con-
cerned about it; one said he prefer-
red to speak of conscience (vizhdan)
rather than of religion (din); one
,aid that if all the world were of one
stoek and with one' national instinct
there would be no need of any re-
ligion; one said religion was merely
' a .political or a social convenience;
one said religion must not interfere
with social or national affairs; one
said he felt no need of being a part-
isan of religion; one said nationalism,
was, also a religion, and that he
wanted no other. Seventy-five stud-
ents were in favor of religion,, but
demanded that this religion should
not be an obstacle to progress and
that it be purified of all fanaticism,
animosity and exaggeration, sad al-
so from myths and legends. Only
one out of the ninety was in favor„ of

ion." The astonished professor goes -
on to say: ''"This means that eighty-
nine out of ninety either acknowl-
edge no relation at all to religion, dr
only a very weak or conditional one.
And, these are the teachers of our na-
tion of to -morrow!" '
Would it, therefore, be best for us
to abandon all effort to convert the
Turk? . Shall ,'ve close up our cen-
tury ,of missionary activity in Turkey
and leave the Tltrk to himself? A
large nun -44,r of Turkish officials
would be delighted and would hail
this step as a distinct triumph for
themselves. Such men as Dr. Adnan
Bey, representative of Angora at
Constantinople, who claims to have
been instrumental in driving out the
missionaries from Marsovan; Nour-
eddin Pasha, 'the general in charge
of the court martial which tried and
condemned. .the Antolia College teach-
ers ----these men would rejoice. Not
so, however, the corm -son ,people,

missionaries their real friends. Many

tals, and know what genuine kind-
ness' is; the have sent children to
American schools and know what
genuine character building has meant

longer regard the Christian mission-
ary with hostility or suspicion, but
will welcome hint as a friend of all
that will build up his, nation for the
future. Let us give him the chaince

Review),
Walnut Trees Distributed to •Wo-
men's .Institutes
Several hundred Japanese Walnut
or Heartnut trees have 'been distrib-
uted to the Women's Institutes of
Norfolk and Durham and to more
than -one' hundred ,of the Junior In-
stitute delegates, who attended the
recent Girls' 'Conference held at Mac-
donald Institute, O.A.C., Guelph.
Mr. J. A. Neilson, former nut spec-
ialist with this department, generous-
ly donated the trees from his Guelph
garden, for the purpose of stimulat-
ing an interest in this neglected form
of horticulture in Ontario.
These trees, which are of a hardy,
fast-growing race of Japanese Wal-
nuts, are valuable, .not only because
of their very palatable nuts, but be-
cause they make attractive shade
trees on streets and lawns. The Heart
nuts require very little attention af-
ter planting, and if planted on other-
wise waste land, they make a very
desirable permanent crop.
"Cheapies Threaten
Chain Stores
(Condensed from Forbes in Reader's
Digest.)
From the Pacific Coast has spread
a selling plan' that has chain stores
worried and independent grocers up
in arms. That new idea is the so-
called "super-anarket," or large-scale,
cut-price food store.'
The first super -markets sprang up.
several years ago in the vicinity of
Los Angeles; but only within the past
year hax e they spread sufficiently to
draw the concerted opposition, of es-
tablished food. retailers. Originally,
the super -markets were opep air;
self-service stores with drive-in facil-
ities. Then, as lower incomes forced
housewives to cut budgets, super-
marketa began to appear in abandon-
'ted factories and unused garages ,in
other 'parts of the country. • The idea
'spread to Detroit; then to • Kansas
City; then to Cincinnati; then to
New York, It is still spreading; and
as 'each new supermarket opens, an-
other hand-to-hand battle with, es-
tablished grocers begins. Picturesque
names are characteristic: Trenton, N.
J., has the "Wild Tiger"; New York
City has "King Kullen the Price -
Wrecker"; Elizabeth, N.J., has "Big
Bear, World's Champion Price Fight-
er." But the grocery trade calls
them all "Cheapies."
Sales of "King" Kullen are run-
ning at $7,000,000 a year in nine un-
its; his first store opened less than
three years ago. As do other stores
of the type, King Kullen markets re-
duce costs by self-service and low
rents; hut Kullen still further re-
duces rents by leasing concessions
in his stores to other merchants at-
tracted by the throng of customers.
But to Big Bear probably goes the
record for rapid growth and great-
est volume of sales in a singie unit.
Last Decemlbeelrn Roy C. Dawson,
formerly with Piggly-Wiggly and
National Tea Co,, and Robert M. (Otis,
formerly with S. H. Kress & Co.,
rented a corner of the empty Durant
automobile plant in, Elisabeth, N. J.,
near the Newark city line, and vyith-
in a few miles' driving distance of
1,500,000 people.. They stocked pine -
board counters With food and started
a smashing advertising campaign
based entirely on the appeal of low
pricers. In ten neee1nt, Big Bear's
sales mounted to a rate of $.5,000,000
a v e1%30,0%
r; 3 Q p<eop}e were on the pay-
roll; SR,O.OR eu'stoaners a 'week, more
titan Sia ,per cent. Of bhepni in autouno-
biles, came in t,o buy groceries, fruits,
dairy produ`,ets,„ meats, vegetaible%
ceSmeties, household and radio sup-
plies, and pastry. The sales of New-
ark and Elizabeth grocers within two
or threemiles miles of Big Bear dropped
in some cases by more than 50 per
CenTot.
-day, the store occupies 30,000
cxowded square feet of the old fac-
tory and its size soon will be doub-
led. On busy days the overflow of
cars from the stare's free parking
lot is strung for half -a -mile in either
direction along the highway; and a
battery of 16 cashiers is needed to
make •(collections asi customers file
past the paying booths at the exit of
the store. .[Whole sections are each
devoted to a single grocery item.
There is a canned' peach section, a
spice sections a prune and raisin sec-
tion, an olive section, a condensed
and .evaporated mink section, each
with ° goods piled in 15' x 5' rectan-
gles from the floor to the height of
a man's head.
How is it done? Roy Dawson,
the operator of Big Bear, claims that
it is a matter of cutting expenses
and services to the bone. Rent of
the abandoned factory space is, he
says, only' one-half per cent. of sales.
'Self -•service reduces payroll to 3.5
per cent. of saleis. Handling ex -4
pienses are at a minimum; a spur of
the Pennsylvania Railroad delivers
carload lots at the back door of the
store. Since the sales volume of
nearly 200 small chain units is con-
centrated in one spot, the delivery
of small lots of groceries to scatter-
ed units is eliminated. Altogether.
his stated cost of doing business is
7 per cent. of sales, • and his gross
margin averages 9 per cent.
Those costs contrast sharply with
chain store costs. -According to the
.Harvard Bureau .of Busidiess Re-
search study of chain 'grocery costs
in 1929, the typical figure for gross
margin is 19.4per cent. of sales, and
cost of doing business, exclusive of
interest, is 17.45 per cent.; rent is
2.3 per cent., payroll is 10.3 per cent.
This new, development in food re-
tailing has manufacturers puzzled,
They dislike to draw the ill -will of
independents and chains' by selling
to Big Bear and similar markets;
but if they refuse to sell, the mar-
kets will go to other sources. Never-
theless, manufacturers and wholesale
grocers are actively encouraging re-
tailers to introduce into state legis
latures bills which will penalize as a
misdemeanor the sale of standard
groceries at orbelow the cost of
purchasing them. But few people
outside of the, rank of the, belliger-
ents can take such legts'1dtiGe pro-
posals seriously.
The independent grocers of Eliza -I
beth are,putting-up .a laud battle a-
gainst Big Beare chain stores, while`
less vocal, are working with them.
Local newspapers have 'been give
their choice between accepting,, Big''
Bear's advertising and that of other
grocers; now, Big Bear can no long-
er advertise in newspapers. When
the market started to distribute cir-
culars to homes, its opponents spon-
sored a city ordinance forbidding
that type of advertising. Now, Eliz-

abeth merchants are attempting 'to
get the city to forbid parking' on.the
street in front of the market "as a
measure of puiblic safety"; the
throngs •which patronize Big Bear
make that measure, at least, some-
what justified,
But Dawson And Otis are in action,
too. They distribute their own news-
paper in tha market 'baskets of their
customers; they are hiring autogiros
and blimps to drag advertising ban-
ners through'the air; and they have
just closed a contract for additional
free parking space for customers.
Big Bear's opponents claim that
the market is unsanitary and that
most of the lerchandise is shoddy, but
a stroll through,•the store fails to
substantiate eider charge. Most of
the merchandise bears the names of
well-known nranufacttwers. Accused
of -paying sweat -shop, wages, some
of which. are as low as $5 a week,
Dawson cassis that his minimum
Wage is $13 a week, and that his
average wages are from 10 per cent.
to 15 per eent. higher than those of
nearby chains; and he openly invites
chain stores in his vicinity to com-
pare their wage rates with his. So
far, the chain, stores have not taken
him tip. •
Are these enni:kets• more than a
fly-by-night development? Certainly
the principle of the large-scale food
market is sound. And the principle
of catering to the •automobile trade
is equally well recognized. But whe-
ther' or not a merchandising plan
which trades solely on price} and
which .,rfecessarily units all conven-
iences 'and services; will survive an
upturn in incomes is less certain.
As to their future development, it
may well be that retail history in
the food industry is about to repeat
itself. The chain store owes a large
part of its success to eliminating
services, reducing costs, and cutting
prices 'below those of the independ-
ent; but within the past few years
there ..have been definite indications
that increasing competition between
-chains is leading to the extension of
services, and thus to higher costs and
higher .prises. Perhaps this trend
will give the super -market a chance
to make a permanent place for it-
self. -
1lerehantnean Dawson propliesies:
"Sonne day supermarkets ; will ' do
nearly all of the business all over the
country. It's inevitable because it's
cheaper, 'because people have auto-
mobiles, and because they like ' to
shop. It's the new method of. re-
tailing."
