Grieco-Rornan world. No event in all the world's history has so moved the imagination and heart of humanity, or created so genions a hope as the event depicted hero. What to the world's eye appears as disaster and defeat justifies' itself in the spirit' as the supreme victory of reconciling love. God was ill Christ recdnciling theworld to himself, and instituting a new world -age. Of this fact, which constitutes the final significance of the death of Christ, there are two hints at the close of the lesson. The first is in v. 38, where we read that at Jesus' death the veil of the Temple was rent in two. This represents symbolically the end of the Jewieh dispen- sation, and the passing of the glory of God from the Jewish ritual to the cross of Jesus. The second hint is the Gentile eenturlon's exclamation in v. 39. This is prophetic of the wider world's response to the appeal of Jesus Christ. Rejected by his own nation, Jesus becomes the Lord of a new humanity, which recognizes in him the supreme hero to whom its worship and reverence belong. V. 22. Golgotha, so called' from its configuration which resembled a skull, lay outside of the city walls, as they were at that time. Subsequently the extension of the city to the North led to the inclusion of the spot within the city boundaries.

These are the conclusions Theodore Drelser arrives at in reconsidering in the June issue of "Vanity Fair Magazine" the impressions which he 'formed on MS recent vielt to 1110 U,S,S.R, Mr, Drelser frankly admires the leaders of the bolshevlk experiment and has only praise fot a great. deal • that the Russians have done and are doing. Lenin he .considers the great- est personality' and the greatest leader of our generation, "Whatever one may think of the present-day rulers of Russia," he writes, "one cannot • deny their honesty and, as measuredi by' our tests' their .eellleeeness with regard to the good things of this world.

Conditions to -day in Rustle, accord- ing to Mr. Drelser, are better than in the prewar period, the workers have a better deal than elsewhere in the world and the peasants are neither downtrodden nor exploited. But 05 for the aim of the Soviet Union, to abolish every'social class, including their own, Mr. Drelser•says, "Personally, I am dubious of the result because I cannot even conceive ofis classless society any more than I' can conceive of life without variations - and distinctions. "Is the ditch -digger any less a ditch - digger or airy less unimportant for being one In Communist Russia than' would elsewhere be the case? Never believe it. Nor the beggar or the servaet either.

Whereas the Communist of- ficial, with his assistants, his official car or cars, his offices and authority is as much it, not more a big -wig than he was before the revolution. The class sense remains. I am: a doctor, you are a beggar, and as such we can scarcely mingle on equal terms, can we? And communism cannot remedy that, I fear, any more than it can' make a brilliant brain associate with a dull one." Mr. Drelser makes the point that the new economic policy as introduced by Lenin was not a retreat in the face of. victorious capitalism, 'but rather, the real beginning of the eco- nomic struggle against it. That it has been a success, he says, is attested to by the fact that "la:rge-scale indus- try, the immense electrical schemes, the harnessing of Russia's immense water power, etc., are to the. extent of almost ninety per cent. State under- takings; nder takings; that foreign commerce is to the extent of a hundred,per cent. under the control of the State through the State monopoly of foreign com- merce; that transport is almost com- pletely, under the control of the State. and co-operatives and that something` like seventy per cent. of all commerce, both wholesale and retail, is now in the hands ot the State and -co-operative organizations.

At the foot of the cross there goes on the procedure customary on such occasions, the dividing of the prisoner's clothes among the soldiers of the guard. V. 25. The hour when the crucifixion began is exactly recorded. It was 9 a.m., "The third hour," by the Jew- ish reckoning. V. 26. It was the custom to affix to the cross a public notice stating for what crime the condemned person suf- fered. In Jesus' can the inscription was, "The King of the Jews. What- ever mocking significance his Jewish or Roman critics attached to this "sup- erscription, it expressed the final truth of the matter for those whe, like his disciples, had seen into the mean- ing' of that sovereign _ life df love which was now ending. V. 34. Jesus lingered' in life from 9 a.m., when they crucified hirer, till 3 p.m.. when the end came. Immediate- ly before the end there came from his lips the parting cry of dereliction, "Elci, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" The words are Aramaic, and echo the open- ing verse of Psalm 22. There mean- ing is, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" What signifi- cance is to be attached to this! last dying utterance of the Son of Man? Some have reasoned from the cry that Jesus Lead hoped till now that God would intervene to save him and to re- veal him as the Messiah. But it would 'be surely truer to see in the cry, and hi the agony the wards express, the la.et dread reality of the surrender which Jesus for our sakes made to death. HAS sacrifice for us involved and included this final sense of for- leakenness by the Father. He was forsaken in our stead, just as in our stead he suffered. Vs. 35-37. A misinterpretation by the bystanders of his dying words is mentioned, The Jewish expectation of Elijah's return would be familiar even to Roman soldiers in Palestine, and accounts for their callous words at this juncture.

When you cook tomatoes or any other acid food in an aluminum pot and the brownish or black discolora- tion comes off the pot into the water, don't be afraid of poisoning, comforts Milo Hastings in the current "Physi- cal Culture." "This discoloration," he says, "is an iron compound that forms in an aluminum pet from boil- ing water or alkaline foods in it. Then when acid foods are boiled in the pot, the discoloration comes off, and we eat it. We would have eaten it just the same if we were using any other kind of pot, but we wouldn't have believed we had eaten it. Seeing is believing, and so many a woman SCOUTS and scours to get off the pot the visible evidence of something she would have eaten without knowing it if she had cooked in agateware.

This striking testi- mony to what is being accomplished in Britain by co-operative home -mak- ing is borne by David Lloyd George in a tetter to the National Association of Building Societies.
