ANALYSIS t JESUS TEACHING ABOUT OIHILDREN, 18:: 1-6, 12-14, IL JESUS TREATMENT OF CHILDREN, - 19: 13-15. • INT0ontiormN—One of the loveliest' Features in the gospel is the way in which Jesus treated children. He was so generous in his thoughts, and so hind in his actions. It is from him eat the world has learned to appre -f elate the true value of child lifer The , ,study of his relation to the child should include, hest of all, a careful reading of the few verses that we have in the gospels about his own childhood. Apparently he grew up in a natural way, accepted'the duties and Joys of childhood, and was .eubehhiesive to authority. Jesus was like us in that he knew all the stages of human life. 1. JESUS TEACHING ABOUT CHILDREN, 18: 1-6, 12-14. V. 1. The circumstances must be toted carefully in order to get the con- nection. The disciples evidently had 'been discussing the reward which they .hoped to receive, and their minds were excited by the hope of great material splendor. There was considerable sivalr'y as to the to places of honor. Who were to be greatest? V. 2. The ail is found in most tCrowds, and the present is no excep- tion. Vain attempts have been made to identify this child, and some say that it possibly was Ignatius, who afterwards suffered the death of a martyr for the.sake of Jesus. V. 3. The words of Jesus here ap- pear'.strange and paradoxical. He says thatone cannot even enter the king dom without becoming a child, much less attain unto the chief place. V. 4. This verse explains a little snore fully .what is in the mind of Jesus; and it would seem as if the quality of which he is thinking is humility. But there has been much difference of opinion as to -what •iesus really meant in thus holding up for praise the child -stage. Some say that humility is the only feature he had 5n view. 'Others claim that the child is lint always humble, and they sug- gest trustfulness and a readiness to believe what is told him. Some say eth that it is the idea of the new begin- ning of the youthful life with its fresh opportunity. A total change is needed, as in John 3: 3, "Ye must be born again." But soiree say that Jesus is considering the helplessness of the child, its inability to earn its own liv- ing or care for itself, and its depend- ence on the father and mother. Those who come to Jesus must be willing to admit their own inability to earn the kingdom. They cannot gain it as a reward because of merit. They must accept it as a free gift. It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom, V. 5. But his disciples must not only •-- ._ 'strive to be like children in their hu- mility, they must also learn to have real respect for the child. The fol. )(ever of Jesus must count the child as a person, worthy of consideration. This is what very few conte in church to do, and Jesus here takes a very great step forward in advance of his time. Ile tells them that if they can-. not do this because they love children, then let thein do it for his sake, and in his name. Let then seek to culti- vate this affection simply because their Master urges it of them, V. 6. In fact if they neglect the child and put stumbling -]bucks in the way of children, then the most di:ias- %roue punishment will follow. This vas not a form c,f punishment common among the 3 -ewe, but was known to the Greeks and Romans. V. 12. Jesus had just uttered (v. 10) a truth of exceptional symbolic be.ruty on the privilege of the child in God's presence. Each child has, as it were, en angel or guaecli,:n who represents Its inteihests and welfare in the hea:en- ly court. The truth is that God, our heavenly Father, has a minute knowl , edge of each individual life, however obscure it may be. Now he passes on to say that God loves each one, even when it errs and wanders away. The parable of the lost sheep tells of the pains which the Father will endure in order to rescue the sheep, Such is the reat compassion which the Father fao for all his children, and this same ove is' shared c bY Jesus. God is love. 18. TEEMS TREATMENT OP. CHILDREN, 19: 13-1.5. `V. 13 It was no uncommon thing for Jewish mothers to bring their 'little children to some distinguished teacher en order to get leis blessing. We gather tmu...c , .•r„ - 1:mma- simply thought that These infants did mot count. Jesus had more important things to .consider, He had the sick to heal and the crawls to, teach. Thom children were quite ,unfit toreceive anything from Jesus, and :so these disciples try to protect. their Master from useless interruption. V. 14. Jesus resents their action, and insists upon having. the children re- called. ,The children are an integral part of his kingdom, In, fact they are the best type of membership in the kingdom. They best exhibit the quality necessary for entrance into the kingdom, and for excellence in it,. V. 15. In Nark this statement is given that he took them up in his arms and blessed them. Thus his teaching was confirmed by his practice. M;.,. ny Win Prizes On Grand National Police Chief and Shopgirl Holders of Lucky Tickets. Berlin, N.H.—Assistant chief of pollee Patrick J.

Manitoba Hydro F a1`M.4 nrP Faces Best Year In its History Winnipeg.—With a work program involving the expenditure of $2,660,- 114, Manitoba Provincial hydro faces the biggest year, in its history during the 1930 construction season. At least 540 miles of Transmission line will be constructed and every larger centre in the province will be hooked up with the system, and, of course, the system will pause to pick up all the business it can in the meal- ier centres, The Legislature has voted $1,600,- 000 1,600,000 for the work and the rest is made: up of unexpended balances from pre -i ceeding years. The hydro commis sinner, Douglas L, MacLean, expects that the same ,will be ample for pro- viding I transmission lines, sub -stations, generating plants, distributing sys- tems and farm services. During the year x929 the system served 29,000 oustoiters and had a sur- plus of several thousand dollars. In 1930 it hopes to increase its cus- tomers to 1,000,000 and h, increase its surplus to a very substantial amount once the new lines begin to carry loads on a commercial basis. The service will be operated on a costs basis, however, with allowances for interest, depreciation and commer- cial reserve. Danger Ahead A Short Cut Even in a late season vegetable growth can be brought up to normal by, using a little quickly'available oom- mercial. fertilizer 'rich in Nitrogen. During the first cool weather wbeu thesun is not strong enough to liber- ate' the. natural nitrogen in the soil, which is the great stimulant of leaf and stock growth, this fertilizer will i bring things along as rapidly as mer tura would anaided ,later ou. In or- dinary gardens, a heaping teaspoon- ' ful is sufficient for a square yard of soil, with 150 to 500 pounds per acre for the larger places. This fertilizer should be applied at intervals of ten days to three weeks and it should, not be allowed to actually touch the plant but should be placed close to it' as "it is apt to burn the foliage if damp. OTh this account it is safer in the smaller garden to dissolve It in water at the rate ofabout an ounce to the gallon and sprinkle, or it may be broadcast by hand during or just before a rain fall or before the hose or irrigation system is turned on. Practically all the market gardeners usea pinch of fertilizer as a pick-up in transplanting head lettuce, tomatoes, cabbages, and similar things. About as much as can be placed on a small five -cent piece is sufficient for each plant. . Garden Hints Gardeners are advised to apply an application of hydrated lime, about one pound to two square yards, every Year or two to sweeten the soil, This is particularly essential where one is depending on commercial fertilizers. Very light soil will be benefitted with plenty of strawy manure and the same treatment, plus a little application of ashes or sand, will loosen up clay. In uncovering the perennials care must be exercised not to disturb such early flowers as tulips and other fall -planted bulbs and the herbaceous perennials which will now be pushing their way through the soil. .a en Red Society of Godless Aims At 70,000,000 Members by 1933 Moscow.—The recent religious "cru- sade" abroad against atheism in Rus- sia was attacked again when the executive committee of the Society of Godless called for 70,000,000 members of the society by 1933. The call of the committee, which just concluded its conference, doubled the original five-year plan for 35,000,- 000 members. The increase was des- cribed as due to "the excellent out- look" for atheist propaganda. The conference condemned the use of force against believers and scath- ingly reprimanded members who have been guilty of coercive interference with freedom of worship. At the same time it made clear a plan for intensi- fication of peaceful agitation against religion. The society accused the Soviet com- missariat of education with not co- operating sufficiently with the godless movement and demanded greater stress on atheism in schools.

This vegetable requires cool soil for its roots to produce its maximum yield and 011 this account must be planted fairly early and it mist be cultivated well.

In this class will come the round -seeded sorts which wilt stand slightly more frost than the finer quality and later wrinkled peas. Of the earlier varieties perhaps the American Wonder and Little Marvel are best known. They are both dwarfs, they take up little space and yield very well. A little later on, some of the Laxton variety may be used as well as Grades. There are, of course, many varieties and types ranging from the little ehap about a foot high which can be planted in doable rows and will be self-support- ing to the taller sorts which run up to four and a half feet and need some support. Peas should be planted with an eye on the variety and the season so that this delicious vegetable may be had for at le: ' a month or more instead of just a 'week.
