A CAUSE 01 OFFENCE, 31-35. 11; '113E GARDEN SCENE, 36-46. IN'PROnuCTION-It is verynotice- able how the narrative in the Gospels becomes so much more detailed when wecome to the last week at Jerusalem, The movements of Jesus mei given. very carefully, and we can tallow him' each day until the fatal ending. This stress Paid upon the death ',las not un- intentional. The great problem of the early Christians was how they. could justify the cross, and defend them- selves against the attacks which were often made.cn them because they wor- shipped a Saviour win. had been nailed to the cross,. The apostles, however, came to see that this crosa Was nit an object of chance, but a cause of hope and pride, They found that this death was the way of salvation; so that they gloried in the cross. L A CAUSE OF -OFFENCE, 31-35. V. 31. If we read the accounts given in Luke 22, 31-36, and John 13: 38, elong with this passage, we find that the words are given in a slightly dif- ferent order in each case. However, it would seem that Jesus spoke on differ- ent occasions of the danger ,whicli awaited the disciples when the terrible -event of the arrest and crucifixion would take place Christ would be the ,cause of, offence; in so much that they would also forsake hive V. 32. All the Gospels describe the denial of Peter, nor do they try to make any excuse foe it. They • describe how he was admitted into the court- house and there denied his Lord just Ls the cock crew. But the Gospel of John also tells of the restoration of Peter to the former position. There seems to he little dou+ that the three auestions of John 21: 15 -17 -refer to the three denials, while the same pass age shows )row the renentant apostle is restored to bis office, "Feed nay sheep?' II. ran GARDEN SCENE, 36-46. V. 36. We now approach one of the most impressive scenes in tho life of our Lord. where be passed through n most severe temptation, and seems to 'struggle againstthe thought of his impending death. Gethsemane was a garden which had received its name from an oil 'press which was there. The tradition- al site is a little on the other side of the Mount of Olives. It wns a com- mon netting place for the disciples of Jesus. Now it is enclosed by a wall and is the resort of many pilgrims from all narts of the world. V. 37. He selects the three disciples who were nearest to him to be his companions He had taken them at other times, Matt. 17: 1; Mark 5: 37. A feeling of weakness and loneliness' comes over Jesus, in such striking con- trast to the confidence of the disciples. The meaning of his sacrifice and the nature of the struggle through which he is to pass now take firmpossession of him, and he is appalled as he draws nearer and nearer: to the dread moment. V. 88. In this reference to his soul we see tho full humanity of Jesus and his likencos to us in the power of suf- fering. There is the natural shrink- ing from the agony and fate that wait for him, We also note that in the hour of utter loneliness he asks for the .companionship of his disciples. Ile who was the Saviour of the world, the son of God, is anxious to get help from his friends in his trial. He needs the assistance of human -sympathy. V. 39. A. second wave of sorrow and anguish passes. over him. He falls on the ground and prays. The darkness increases so that he feels he ..can. scarcely endure this, He asks that the cup may pass. The cup was the symbol of his destiny: and the figure was used by Semis before. See Matt. on. Co V. 40, He returns to the disciples to find that they have not beenable to endure this spiritual strain. They have fallen asleep. There is no bitterness in the words which he addresses to them, but there is a gentle warning to remind them how frail human nature is, and how much need there is of con- stant watchfulness, "Watch and pray." V. 42. A second time he returns to pray to his Father that he may receive strength for this ordeal, but this time the battle has lost some of its violence. He realizes that the cup cannot pass, and heis ready to drink it to +he dregs, V. 44. Yet a third, time he returns to -the conflict, and offers the same prayer, Just as in the temptation that opened the ministry' there came three assaults of the devil, so here also there were the three times in which 'he faces the conflict. But he gains a complete victory, and carries` back the marks 'ofassurance and con - nest, Only, if these disciples look more closely in his .face, they will see the drops of blood 'on his, brow ,evidences of the intensity of the trim, V. 45. Jesus lets them now sleep -on, since the time is at hand when they will require all their reserves of power and endurance. •Quite Correct Trentbling with sage, theme house - owner entered the estate agent's office.

New York. -:Members o fthe Ameri- sran Society of Ichthyologists and Her- peaologists, in eouvention assembled here, spent the entire afternoon at- tacking the campaign of opprobrium and slander that has been directed againsttheir friend, the snake, since even the days of Mother Eve.

I The show, •61 course, was put en by ' the herpetologists, or snake addicts. ' The ichthyologists, who go in for fish rather than reptiles, sat back and watched their brother scientists defy the fangs. ,The program opened with the show- ing of a motion picture, taken over a period of years by Miss Grace Olive Wiley. Miss Wiley, who has some- thing to clo with snakes, turtles and alligators in Minneapolis, made a per- sonal appearance with the picture. One of the scenes showed Miss Wiley and her sister sitting before the flre- piace playing with a couple of poison- ous timber rattlesnakes. Miss Whey's movie showed snakes (doing all manner of things, from shed- ding their skins to eating nightcrawl- ers and taking a bath. The titles of the picture were the significant parts. 1 Such legends as these leaped out from the screen: "Snakes are interesting, likeable and understandable. "Snakes are es much a part of hu- man nature as birds and flowers and should be considered as such." "Accurate knowledge dispels fear - watch these children; they are as fond of snakes as of any other animal be= cause they know they won't be harm- ed."

There also 130 many of these that. it is difficult to ohoose a subject for consideration. They are importantil but the actual Course of Study in the Public Schools 18 always before ns,‘ and is always under. discussion, Many persons complain that the]• pupils are overloaded with sublectsil that in "tire good old days" there 'were fewer subjects taught. The facts de not verify this contention, Here are tate Courses o1 Study for 1878 and 1930. The 1878 Course of Study is vouched for by Mr. M. A. Janes, ,tit' Boemauville, wbo said in the :Canadian Statesman that two pupils were prepared by him to be teachers in the Public School of that day. The 1878 Course of Study ' Reading,' Spelling, Etymology, Gram. mar, Composition, Writing, Geography History tAncient, British and Cana. dianl', School Lan', Music, Drawing, Bookkeeping (Single and Double En- try), Arithmetic, Algebra, 'Euclid (4 Books and Deductions, Natural Phil. • osophy, Chemistry, Botany, Asiron omy, Latin, Greek, Physical Geog- raphy, Business Correspondence. The 1930 Course of Study t1-ading, Spelling, Literature, Gram- mar, Composition, 'Writing, Arith- metie, Geography, Hietory, Hygiene, Physical Culture, Art, Nature Study, hlanner•s anti klorais, Bookl eeping, Manual Training, Household Science, Agriculture, and Horticulture. The 1878 Course has 26 subjects, and the 1930 course 22. In 1878 the High Schools were scarce, and the 'need fora broad Course of Study in the Public School was apparent. Trrnsportation was difficult, and if the pupil did not learn a subject in the. home school, the chances were that he would not learn it at any other school. Now conditions are changed, and there are High Schools available in nearly all the settled districts of Ontario, at a reasonable driving dis- tance, and the roads are greatly ire - proved. in the early days Agriculture, Man- ual arsual Training and Household Science were taught at home. Farming was a comparatively simple matter, with fewer weeds and pests, and a land that was not run out, land that was sunnmer failowed. The women in the home (there were nearly always a number of grown girls beside the mother) did most of the work ot feed lug and clothing • the family. There were no "canned goods" and ready- made clothing was looked upon as a luxury. To -day all this is changed. Our modern idea of education is to study suck subjects as will enable us to Imeet the demands of a machine -made world -frequently just that and no more. Yet in Agriculture our people are being compelled by the very pros- ' sure of weeds and pests to study more about farming than was necessary in I the old days. 1 Our greatest trouble in education is that we have no abundance of burn- ing. We study to pass examie tuna, and when we have passed the czanthr- ation, we heave a sigh of react, and likely heave the teat book into a cola ner, promptly forget it and the sub- ject, and go on to study another sub- ject on which an examination is be- ing set. What is needed is that both teachers and scholars'shall read more widely; that they shall become fa- miliar with local history and condi- tions; civic affairs ;and current of fairs. A school is for learning, anti tor gaining the spirit that loves to learn. Successful teachers are always invent- ing ways to open up n.0 ace's of study for the pupil, and i __ that eagerness to learn that 11 'et, :.n ad- ditional subject a pie:..: -r- i _,.std ot a hardship.
