JESUS IN RELATION 40 JOHN, 2-6, IF. JESUS IN RELATION TO TIIE WORLD, 25-30, INTRODUCTION—On the first reading of Matthew, -one might think that go - Sus spoke very little about himself as the Saviour, tend that in this way it Was very different from the Gospel of John, where there are lnany.passages which refer to himself, such as "I•am the Good Shepherd," 'l5•am the True Vine," However, ia more careful read- ing of the synoptists reveals the fact that behind the apparently impersonal narrative there is a ear -background of self-consciousness. It would be an interesting study to pick ant the pass- ages in Matthew, such as' 5: 22; 12: 8, where the'connection of Jesus with the kingdom is definitely expressed: 1. TESUS IN RELATION TO JOHN, 2-6. V. 2, The relation of Jesus to John the Baptist is very instructive. There are few/ finer instnnees of• self-efface- ment and self-sacrifice than that illus- Crated by John the Baptist as he eahn- ly. accepts the place,.of insignificance. "He 'must increase, ' et I must de- crease." Nor is there any mere chiv- alrousdefence •of a friend than that •which Jesus nn,kes of John, where be had no other to speak well of him. John had leen imprisoned by Herod Antipas in the castle of Machaerue. east of the Dead Sea. As he pondered in these dull cells on the course ef. events, his mind became troubled, and he began to despair about the coining of the. kingdom. With what noun- once-and ssur-ance and enthusiasm had he predieted the early zoning of the Messiah; .but now there is nothing to justify his hopes. Like Elijah and many ether great reformers, John is now passing into 'the time of despondency. It was the slough of 'despond, It i, as out of this mood that the question now put to Jesus arose. • V. 3. Jesus replied by sending back a message on the progress th; is be- ing made. Things are really Bhang- ' ing, since the classes o ninth neglect- ed by the world' are now receiving :cn- eideration. We should read r Ike 4: 15, in which we find that Ji..t s lig his first text in Ne •areth Tito—tote from Isaiah, chap. '31, which es rime h like these verses, Evidently the parts of the P oonet which most attracted Jesus those that foretold the social reconstruction cif the world, and the conquest of evil and wrong and .sorrow. llis heart was tiled with pity for all who were needy ,rid neglected, In fact, there was ro- iling more distinctive of Jesus than his deep concern for -the poor. Now he :r'enld have John know ;liat this elate is being considered. it is t'le lame, ihe blind, the- poor. who are getting new chances, and this is avidenee that the kingdom ie coining. II. eons IN RELATION 'TO THE WORL7, 25-30. V, 25. We discover, on turning; to Luke 10.: 21, that these words were spoken at the time of the return of the seventy from their mission. In their work these disciples had found that their cor,verts did not c.•uie from the rich and learned classes, but frons the common folk. This may have caus- ed them some surprise, and they may have questioned jesus about it. He tells, then: not to be silrpriscd. This is the will of the Father., and Jesus ii glad that it is so. The wise and - learned here are the Scribes and Phar- isees, who, instead of aceepting Je ne, only tried to put otumblint olocl.s in 111 way. These people we -•e eelf-suffi- dole and did not feed their need. B -:t the poor and einf n were only too con - pilaus of their :everty and weakness, and gladly-eenls tn'rri-t.

'Baroness Herlriesof Terregles EXacts Tribute fror. h'euars” Edinburgh. An echo' of feudal times, when a vassal if he did not go to war for hissuperiois had to send a substitute or pay a sum of money, comes from Dumfriesshire, where the Duchess of Norfolk is exercising her right as Baroness Herriee of ,Terre- glee' to exact the tribute from the "'genet's' of her patrimonial lands. Feu in Scotland is the common mode of land tenure, and in "feu -hold- ing proper the tenant, in addition to a substantial annual payment of money in return for the enjoyment of the land, is also obliged to pay "casual- ties' er additional payment to the superior of the land held in feu con- tingent on the happening of certain events, Under the Feudal Casualties (Scot- land) Act, 1914, all such casualties that had not beenredeemed or com- muted by January 1, 1930, were to be extinguished and discharged, and itis Me Act under which the duchess Is taking action.

W. D. Euler, Minister of National Re- venue. This was an increase of 863,- 358 car's over 1928. Every province enjoyed a substantial growth in tour- ist trams. A feature of the report is the In- crease of over 150,000 in the number of ears which remained in Canada for some considerable time. Last year 1,099,961 foreign cars entered Canada under sixty-day permits and 1,204 others same in for longer periods than that. The remainder of the 4,508,000 came in for a period not exceeding twenty-four hours. In 1928 the num- ber of cars which came in under the to -day permit totalled 945,545.

Seven years ago only 78% of the cheese made was good enough -to go into the Srst grade. ' Of the,1929 yield over 93% was of the that class These figures were,,b.j-ouglat out by Mr. Joseph Burgeon Chief of the Di - .vision of Dairy Produce in the De- part: tent of Agriculture at Ottawa, before the Eaetel'n Ontario Dairy- men's Association. The season was narked particular - 1Y. to Ontario snit ,Quebec with a dee creased production Owing to the low yield of intik due ter poor pasture and shortage of water •consequent upon continued dry weather. The cheese graded for the year 1928 shoeved a de- crease of 293,000 boxes or about 18%. Bloat of this decrease-eccnrt'ed .after the beginning of 'August and in- creased month by month. In the pro- vince of Ontario, where there are 730 factories in operation, the first grade. amounted to 95,5% of the whole, which was intensely gratifying. Re. ferning to this situation Mr. Burgess maintained that the co-operation of the producers with the makers was an important factor in this happy re- sult. Mr. Burgess stressed the im- portance of well built curing rooms. He :roferrod to the excellence of the curing room at the Cloverdale factory in :Prince Edward County, which has the largest output "of any factory in, the province east of Toronto. The construction of this curing room, Mr. Burgess stated, seems to be the best that could be secured and cost some- thing over 82000. The saving from the controlled temperature in this rooni is estimated to have been fully 91000 as a result of the saving in, shrinkage and the better quality of the cheese turned out. Mr. Burgess strongly recommends cheese factory owners to see to it that they have the proper curing "rooms. Hatching Dates on Egg Production The dates on which chicks , are hatched are believed to have some in- fluence on their production of eggs as hensthe following a1t0nln. A project to study this question was un- c'er-alten et he S'.lmnierland, B.C., Exnerinae':cal Station of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. It was found that the «ggs from each bird of the March batch returned approximately thirty cents more than each bird of the April hatch, and flip -two cents more than each bird hatched at the end of April. Late hatched birds, however, have been shown to have an advantage the second season although not euoueh to make up for the loss the first year. According to the Superintendent of the Station when Once the birds settle down to work they gained a little each month on the early hatched birds with one or two exceptions.—Issued by the Di- rector of Publicity, Doan, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont. Cleaning Up Canadian Herds Tremendous strides have been made in Canada towards the eradication of tuberculosis in cattle. Fifteen years ago the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa began the testing of cattle as. the beginning of a policy ethich has so developed as have removed thous- ands of diseased animals from the farms throughout the country, A booklet recently issued by the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, bearing the title "Bovine Tubercul- osis," describes the main plans that are pinned by the Health of Animals Branch. By the Accredited Ilerd plan, when a herd has passed two annual or three semiannual tests without a reactor, the herd is designated a Tuberculosis Free Accredited Herd, This plan is confined to herds that are wholly or in part purebred animals. In defining the Restricted Area Plan the leaflet states that when two-thirds of the cattle owners of arc efinite area have signed a petition for the estab- lishment of a restricted area, and the petition has reached the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa, through the Minister of Agriculture of the pro- vinces interested, testing and cleaning up is undertaken.

E A. Cunningham Craig, an English geologist well-known in Western Can- ada, scored the apathy of British caps talists in allowing an important oil- field to pass under,, control of areas. Mr. Craig sounded an alarm in the, following words: "It would be difficult now for a British 'company to acquire any large interest in the most promising Al- berta oil areas without paying high prices. What is required no v is the formation of a few large and well -or- ganized companies, managed in Can- ada by men with local knowledge and supported finam:tally from Britain. It is not in the best interests of the Brit- ish Commonwealth the, tthe control of these new oilfields should fall into alien hands. "That danger is fully realized by Canadians. There is a greater work to be done and it is little less than disgraceful that the Brother Country is taking so little part in this import- ant development." Peace on Paper London. — The Loudon Sunday Grahle publishes the following vigor- ous editorial on the Naval Conference: Over 2,000 treaties have been register- ed with the League of Nations since the end of the war.. These i:cltule the famous Kellogg Pact, which "outlaws" war by words. We have, therefore, reached a point when it can be shown, on paper, that war on a large scale is impossible. Does anybody believe it? We have had an example of loose and dangerous thinking in the state- ment by Mr. Alexander, First Lord of the. Admiralty, about British cruiser strength. We find from this that the Admiralty have been told to reconcile our defence needs to "the improved world political relationsphips," and in effect to provide for the defence of the Empire not in the world as it is, but In the unreal world of possible, prob- able, profound pease existing in the imagination tf politicians. Even so, the First Lord admits that "if unhap- pily the international horizon should become in the future lees unclouded than it is to -day,' the Board will have to revise :heir position. In other words, they": ill have to pro- vide ships and men when the emer- gency is open us. As if ships and men could be improvised ,in emergency! This will not do. We are now going to endanger our' existence on the as- surance of political. persons that war is impossible. We must preserve a sufficient cruiser strength for all rea- sonable emergencies.

McDonald, in his retiring address as president of the Montreal Board of Trade,: declared that laic viewwas that the St. Lawrence Deep Waterways scheme should he proceeded with as soon as economic conditions warranted; and that the whole cost of the project should not be saddled on power de- velopments, but should be shared by navigation interests oi' whatever in- terests would be benefitted. "It hardly seems reasonable to Op- pose," said Mi. McDonald, "that after developing our waterway system from the time canoes were portaged over the rapids to the present 14 -foot chan- nel, we han-nel,'we are going to stand still at this stage of history and say that we shall not dig any deeper. "Our problem," said Mr. McDonald, "is to find out, if we can, 'who is go- ing to benefit, and let them pay. If it is the European buyer, the traffic should be made to pay, that is by tolls on shipping, as in case of the Panama Canal, If it is the citizens of the United States and Canada, it will be necessary :to put it on `a- business basis, estimate the respective propor- tions, and pay accordingly." Further in his remarks, Mr. Mc- Donald -said: nniet conclusion is that the power should bear only its oivn burden of cost and that any further navigation development determined: upon should be pain for by whichever of two ways might he found more suit- able "1.

H, T. Guseow, Dominion botanist, stated in a lecture under the auspices of the McG311 chapter of the Sigma XI, Society in the Biologic•!: Building, on "Warfare with Plant Disease in Can- ada," Wheat rust alone caused a loss of some 825,000,000 yearly, the greatest amount being in 191e, when an esti- mated loss of $200,000,000 was borne by western wheat growers, Mr. Gus - sow said in dealing with the economic importance of plant disease. It was found that the spores which infect the wheat travel by air, germ particles being collected • by an air- plane at a height of 8,000 feet, The great movement of the spores is northwards from nited States, where wheat maturing earlier givee rise to a great number of black rust spores, which move north to attack Canadian cereals, It was impossible to erect a barrier against these, so that efforts have been turned to the production of rust- reeisting varieties of wheat, of wbieh seme four have been discovered, though yielding a lesser quantity of cereal.

' Kemal has not merely replaced ono, :series of letters by another. The Tllrkieb 'language itself has been aff toted, and will be affected even morel in the course of time. Moreoveyy Kemal leas, for the present at least suppressed all books, The Turkiei nation is without a literature,- Writes�' " E„” a contributor to Reclam's time versum (Leipzig) : "This is the •unavoidable result ofi' suppressing all books printed witllt Arabic letters. It is true that the pus-' chase and sale of these hooks have not been, legally prohibited, but hence,' forth booksellers will not dare to o2' fen them, and the public takes care not to demand them. "In Constantinople alone about twdr million books will have to be destroys ed. Booksellers and publishers have already claimed damages' from the_. government.

Besides other duties the Committee will also have to super- vise works of literature so that they may be adapted in style and expres. sign to the new tendency of the Turk- ish language.

Then it will not readily; crease and will prove hard-wearing. In an open-end tie, good quality silk is soft and supple, will give to the touch and has 'i subdued sheen, A poor quality silk is often shiny, stifle and crackly and is liable to split. t The bias tie is made in every con- eeivable variety of silks and designs, If the large end sets flat, this denotes expert cut and good make, while the contrary is shown by slight wrinkles. .The pattern on a tie is an import ant matter to the average man. A wise choice is a small, neat, and welba blended design on a dark backgrounqu If there 3s any doubt, a dark tie is al, ways a safe choice. The majority of men prefer quiet} colors. The only exception' is tho Regimental or Club tie, which ghoul invariably bo purchased from well -e[9, tablished shops to ensure the correct] blend of color's.
