There is an important thought here
for the early part of life. No.tempta-
Von is more common to the young than
that of procrastination. That which
there is urgent reason for doing at
once many are ready to do. But there
are many more quite as ready to put
off that for which they clo not see any
opecial need of haste. ,
The young nian whose father has a
large buMnese, feels there is no need of

he can. The young woman whoee fa-

If you wish to grow them out of

the ground well and rake it fine. Then
plant the bulbs in clumps, rows, or

so that the tope of the bulbs are two or

All bulbs, such as hyacinths. tulips,

3�. A place -Gr. An enclesed piece of
,ground; John., "a garden." -
Called Gethsaniane-Meaning
oil -press, and so called, wfthout doubt,
because of- the presence of alien trees
and an olive press in the gardea.
Gethsemane was somewhere on the •
western slope of the Mount, of Olives,
just. across the valley of the Kiaron to
,the east of eity and temple walls.
The traditional site is about fifty ya.rda
beyond the bridge that spans the Ki-
dron, and here,• withane a walled enclo-
sure, eight very ancient olive teces are
still to be fotind. It is not to be sup-
posed, however, that these trees can
date from the time of Jeses, which air,
would matte them almost two thousand
years old. The J'eWish historian Jose.
mOreover, records that during the,'
siege of Jerusalem by .Titus (70 A.D.) •
every tree in the neighborhood of.Jeru-
salera was cut 'down.' The acetiraay of
the tradition Which locatee Gethsemane
at ,this perticular spot has .oflen beerr
caltd-d in question; but since the garden
must hav,e been somewhere in This im-
mediate -vicinity and no other` site
seems to have so much in its favor, -the
Inaccuracy of the tradition cannot be
proved. The strongest' objection urged* -
against the tradition is that the site is
too near the city._
