(1 John 3:16.) Nothing1 ever took, the Hord Jesus Christ by surprise, He had. often .gone with His disciples to a garden on the Mount pf olives named Ge­ thsemane, and when He went there with them on this night the dis­ ciples were greatly surprised—ibut not the Lord—by the coming of a . large band of soldiers and officers to arrest Christ. Theyi had ‘dan- terns and torches and weapons," and one of the disciples, Judas Is­ cariot, was in the lead. They had no difficulty in getting their man. “Jesus therefore, know­ ing all things that should come up­ on Him, went forth to meet them,” He asked them whom* they sought. “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. An amazing thing followed, the like of which has not happened since the 'beginning of the world, and will not happen until Christ comes again. Christ’s quiet answer to their naming of the man they sought was in two words—not three as in the English, He did not say,, “I am He,” but “I am.” He gave the name of Jehovah, given to Moses by God Himself, the eternal and almighty “I am” (Exodus 3;14). And when Christ asserted His duty by those two words, the great company of armed men staggered backward “and fell to the ground” as dead men. “It was the glorious efful­ gence of the majesty of Christ which overpowered them.” But Christ permitted them to1 re­ cover themselves, as they did, then He commanded them to let His dis­ ciples go their .way, and He gave Himself up. All this shows lrow completely voluntary was Christ’s death. With­ out lifting a hand He could have struck down his enemJies at this time by His divine power. But when the impulsive disciple Peter started to defend the Lord, and attacked with a sword one of the 'band, the Lord relbuked Peter, healed the man and said: “Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which My Fa­ ther hath given Me, shall I not drink, it?” There is tragedy all through the lesson, aqd one of the blackest inr cidents is Peter’s denial of the Lord Poor, boasting Peter had said that ■ he would lay down his life for Christ; but now, when taunted with being a disciple, Peter denied three times, and with nursing and swear­ ing (Mark 14:71). While Christ was laying down His life for Peter, Peter was denying that he ever knew Christ. Did the Jews cruelty Christ? The question is often discussed, and often we hear it said that the Jews did not. Would that this were true! But no one can read the unimpeach­ able historical records and fail to see that God’s Chosen People ire- - jected their -Messiah, condemned Him to death, and forced the Ro­ man Governor, Pilate, to give the order for His -crucifixion. Pilate wanted to release Christ and save Him from death; the Jews would not permit this, but intimidated Pi­ late by threats, which, if carried out, might have cost him his Gov­ ernorship. Here are some of the conclusive passages: Christ was arrested by “men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees” (18:3); He was brought by them before the high priest Caiaphas and the .San­ hedrin, Caiaphas being “he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people” (18:14); He was cross-examined by the high priests (vs. 19-24, 28); He was brought (by the priests before Pilate who- said to- the Lord: “Thine own nation and high priests have deliv­ ered Thee unto me; what hast Thou done?” (v. 35.) The record then shows in detail that Pilate made every effort to clear and release Christ, saying three times to the Jews, "T find no fault with Him” (18:38; 19:4, 6). To all this the Jews had only one insistent, unwavering demand: ‘Cru­ cify Him, crucify Him” (19:16, 15). A' question- the Roman Governor asked the Son of God has become immortal' in literature, Christ had said to him: “Every -one that is of the truth liearetlr My voice.” And Pilate asked “What is truth?” He was asking Him who alone of all men, because He was GOd as well as man, could say, “I am the truth.” The Scourging and the spitting went on, mockery and shame and CRAWLED UPSTAIRS ON ALLJOURS Owing to Rheumatism in Her Knees It was not a vary dignified way of going upstairs, but she had rheuma­ tism in her knees, and it was- the best she could do, at the Eime. Since then, she has been taking Kruschen Salts, and now feels much better. Read her letter:— “I had very painful gout in my big toe and could -only^get upstairs on all fours owing to rheumatism in my knees. It is over three years ago since I commenced taking Krus­ chen Salts. I must say on, damp days I still have a little gout, hut my knees are quite better. I am -over 60 years of age, have a complexion like a girl’s- and feel very fit. I am fully repaid for taking a half tea­ spoonful of. Salts each- morning in a cup-of hot water.”-—(Mrs.) A. W. The pains and stiffness of rheu­ matism are frequently caused 'by de­ posits of uric acid in the muscles and joints-, The numerous salts in Kruschen assist in stimulating your liver and kidneys to healthy, regular action, and help them to get rid of the excess uric acid which is the cause of so much suffering. ignominy for the Saviour of the world: then He was crucified. But even -when Christ was hangiing on the cross no one took His life from Him—-He laid it down -of .Himself (John 10:18). He died, not in weakness, but in strength and in the full possession of His powers; for when He knew- that the moment had come. “He dismissed His spirit,” which- is the literal meaning of the Greek of Matthew 27:50, implying an act of the will. His word on the cross, “It is finished,” was- the Vic­ tor’s cry. LATE DR. AiLflEX McLEOD Word was received last week of the passing of a former resident* of Zuirch, in the person of. Dr. Alex­ ander McLeod, who died at the home in Wroxeter in his 57th year as a result of. an attack of influenza followed by pneumonia. He was -born at Bayfield and for more than 2-5 yeais lias been a practising physic­ ian in Wroxeter. For several years he was principal of the Zurich pub­ lic school and it was there that he met his life partner, Miss Clara Koehler, daughter of Mr. Peter Koehler, of Zurich, .she was also a member of the Zurich teaching staff at that time. The late Dr. MciLeod is survived by his wife and one son John., interment -was made in Bay­ field Cemetery on .Saturday. (Zurich Herald) DIES IN BIDDULPH Following' an illness of two- years, John Crunican, aged 73, died at his home in Biddulph' Township. Born in Lu-can, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Crunican, as a youth he lived- with his parents on a -farm in London Township. Surviving besides his widow, formerly Miss Margaret E. Powe, are one daughter, Marie; two sons, Austin and John; three sisters, Mother M. Rita, of the Ui’j- suline Order, St. Ignace, Mi-ch.; Mrs. Ro|bert Brabazon, of Biddulph and Miss Kate, of London Township; 3 brothers, Alphonse and Charles, ot London Township and Dr. Austin J. Crunican, of Hubbardson, Mich. The funeral was held 'from- his late residence to iSt. Patrick’s church, Lu-can, where requiem high mass was sung. Interment was in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Biddulph. HOME FROM TEXAS Mr. and Mrs. Frank McNaughton, of Granton, have just returned from a six weeks' motor trip to Houston, Texas, where they visited, with their daughter, Mrs. Ira Shier, her hus­ band and little son, Ronald. They report a splendid, time, though they did encounter flood waters between Louisville and Nashville and had to drive through rather deep water- sev eral times. Also a two hundred mile detour was necessary in order to get through. The climate of Texas is very pleasant, it being! just nice Summer weather at present, though later on the heat becomes intense. The flowers and abundant greenery around the homes were very beautiful, the many colored roses being especially attractive, A rather eerie sight is that of trees lit­ erally dripping with .Spanish moss. On the Way home they drove miles1 along a very beautiful red. brick highway, flanked on either side by an edging of concrete, like a bright red riblbpn With Silver borders, Un­ folding as they came along. Another beautiful highway was of dark grey concrete bordered by red clay and outside that, green grass.

He’s dead, *#♦***** Ever heard of the Hutterites? They pay as they go. None of them have been -on relief. They paid for a lawyer to settle their disputes, paid him a salary, mind1 you-. But he had so little to do that for very shame’s sake he reduced his salary to the vanishing point. Better read up about them. ******** smartening up We have 'been doing a bit o£ driving through some towns -of this Province and have come to the conclusion that we need some smart­ ening up. Yes, we’re‘aware, that we du not lag behind the average proVince -or state in this respect, but that has- nothing to- do with -our contention. Take the matter of the appearance of some town and village streets of a Bunday morning. Why all the loose paper? Then why the clutter, a sad mixture of everything that is nasty? When the wind is on a rampage the filth is- blown everywhere, in­ cluding people’s lungs and the kitchens. The whole situation simp­ ly is disgusting and needless. Merchants, 'little know how much this sort of thing affects trade. The cure? For the most part, let every -one look after ihis own frontage and jack up the local council. ******** WE DON’T WANT THEM ’ Those labour troubles that have ’been having such vogue in the United States are not the friends of returning prosperity. If. some well-meaning folk would but think a minute, they would discover that the present prosperity that we hear so much about is a some­ what uncertain^ quantity. People with a genius for analyzing the situation are none to hopeful. There are a great many who talk -of the difficulty of carrying on, particularly in the retail trade. Com­ pared with the strenuous times- of the worst of the depression per­ iod, times are undoubtedly better. But that is not saying a great deal for our present good times-. It must be remembered that a great many manufacturing con­ cerns have been put to their wit’s end for the last few years, so keen has been the competition and so difficult has it been to secure remunerative sales-. A great many retailers-, since 1929, have ex­ tended! credit to the limit. Loan companies are in the same con­ dition. ' Anything, therefore, that hinders the turning of the wheels of industry requires close scrutiny, however much, superficially, these hinderances may be justified. Hence the wary eye the Can­ adian beaver is turning upon the strikes in the great republic. Hence, too, the uneasiness he experiences when these strikes assume the form of lawlessness. Premier Hepburn has added greatly to the prestige of this Province by saying that lawlesness- in connection with strikes, or in connection with anything else, simply will not be tolerated. Ontario citizens will listen to reason. They give violence a short shift. Let all intrusted with law-enforcement get their minds made up to follow the Premier's sane leadership in this particular. These are not the days for hunker-sliding and1 shilly­ shallying and duty-dodging.

WORLD’S BIGGEST DIAMOND (in replica) ON DISPLAY The famous Cullinan I, world's largest diamond, which is set In the sceptre of His Majesty’s. King George VI, is on display (in replica) at S. B. Taylor’s JewellTy store. The store of the Cullinan is one of the most fascinating in the entire history of Diamonds. One January afternoon in 1905, Fred Wells, a surface manager at Premium Mines No. 2, strolled out for a casual tour of inspection; 20 minutes later he came running like a madman, carrying in his two hands the (biggest diamond crystal ever seen. Walking along an em­ bankment, his glance had caught the gleam of the sun on a shining ob­ ject high up on the mine face. Only half believing what he saw he clam­ bered to the spot and tried to loosen, the dirt-embedded stone; his pocket knife split—but at last the monster stone came loose from its age-old bed. When the crystal was placed, on the scale, the indicator swung to 3,024 carats. A pound and three- quarters avoirdupois! Three times the size of any diamond that had ’been discovered. This great find brought a reward of $10,000' to Mr. Wells and world­ wide acclaim. The Founder and the Chairman of the Premier Company, Mr. Thomas H. Cullinan, gave the four-inch diamond his name. When the owaiers decided to' send- it to London they entrusted it to ordinary mail. At the request of King Ed­ ward VII the stone was taken to Buckingham Palace soon after its arrival. The King remarked, as he held it up to the light, “I should have kicked it aside as a lump of glass if I had seen it in the road.” That was- before the diamond had been cut and polished. Later the crystal was separated in 9 fragments. Work on the largest piece, Cullinan I, continued for 7 months. When finished, the ip ear­ shaped gem weighed 5/161 carats, it was 2 1-5 inches long and its maxi­ mum breadth was 1 2-3 inches. All ■the diamonds of the Cullinan series are flawless and of the very finest blue-white ‘water. The largest, Cullinan I, some­ times called the “King Edward”, is the chief ornament in the handle of the (royal sceptre, which plays a his­ toric part in the Coronation cere­ monies. w BAYFIELD RESIDENT PURCHASES BUSINESS Mr. A.
