Whet does it mean to bea disciple Christ? We have been studying the Life an ministry of Jesus for six months. Have we come to a clearer understanding of what is involved in being his disciple? You recall how, at the outset of his ministry, he called a little group to come with him to bee come fishers of men, to work and to fellowship With him toward the realiz- ing of the kingdom. How have we seen, their conception of discipleship change or grow? - Whhat are the 'conditions "of becom Ing his disciple? Perhaps we ehould ask first, what does it mean to be a disciple? A disciple: is a learnerr one who is under the instruction and fel- lowship of.a teacher or leader, Might we say that a disciple is one who is. learning ehrodgh personal fellowship with Jesus what it means to live? Whop then, may be his disciples? Happily that opens the way to ell. It is not a perfect life that is essential in order to become a disciple. Rather the con- dition would seem to be a sense of teed, a response to the attractiveness and challenge of Christ, a feeling that he has what our lives need in order for their completion and satisfactiom. a hunger for life in a larger way. We may not know all it involves ;at the beginning. Certainly his disciples did not. Then if the disciple is Iearning what it means to live in God's way, he nn?st increasingly • and everywhere accept the standards of life which Jesus. taught •and embodied in his own life. .That should tike us back to look et some of the standards of the Christian way as. Jesus taught thernen the Ser- mon on the Count.. (Matt, chap G especially.) Then, too, we should -re- call here the lesson of April 6th on the Law of the Cross, of. April 20th on the Spirit of Forgiveness, of April 27th and June"lst, on the Prii ciple of Stewardship,. of May 4th on the Prin- eiple of Service. What are some of the life -standards for a Christian dis- ciple as seen in Matt. chap. 5? Can selfishness and she law of the cross exist side by side in the 'same life? What place has the spirit of forgive- ness in the life c•f a disciple? In whet sense must the Christian disciple be a steward?. But being a diseiple of Christ in- volves a program of life that aims at r the reign of love. The disciple must share the spirit of his Master, his passion for the realiei.g of the king- dom of love and righteousness in all the life of earth. Can one be a dis- ciple and an idle Wolter in the world's struggle toward a better day? See the lesson of . May 4th on the Spirit of Service and of June 22 on the Great Commission, The lessor, of February 23rd showed the sending forth of the twelve disciples to be messengers and workers for the kingdom's coming. What are you as his disciples doing to bring in that kingdom? .-Can we be his disciples and not do our best, all { that is within ourpower to do? Of course the secret of our disciple- ship will be in the fellowship we have With Christ, and the worship and ex- Perien fellow Gip made possible through American Trade Reviving Slowly London, -Sir Frederick Williams - Taylor, vice-president of the Bank of' Montreal, ,hap ;issued a beart,ening statement hereupon the proepeete of a slow but :sure American 'usiness ie- vival, Ina letter to the London Times, Sir Frederick says, "the general average of commodity prices should become firmer when business again ;percept ily broadens which, may not be until Weil into..the fall o2 even later.

British Merchants Told to Advertise London,—Lord Riddell, chairman of the British Newspaper Proprietors' Association, told delegates to the Im- perial Press Conference here recently that, iri his opinion, increase in United States foreign trade was due largely to that country's advertising. He urged home manufacturing and merchants to advertise both at home and abroad, declaring: "It gives one a pang to look at overseas and .colon- ial newspapers and se the' preponder ante of Ameiscan advertising, I love America and love Americans, but I don't want to see the world American- ized," Wife of Officer of R-100 Leaves Montreal—Mrs, L.

The fact is thatwe move slowly, ,• and if we do not think ahead, very Ift- t ..z to is accomplished M the way of ire- ��✓ ; a provement, i*ter Hot noon lunchesat school have :many advantages in the winter. In the first place the children enjoy them, and the result is that the youngsters have better health, At ° the; present time, too many children, ai ? who cannot go home at noon, -fre- guently have to eata cold lunch un- der quite unpleasant conditions. Then, too;atedrho, value of proper eating in an orderly manner cannot be over esti- t,isx WI '1 on a trip with the date In- spector John Waugh ,the writer visit- ed a large school where the hot lunch was served; but where it was not served in a proper manner. The child- ren received their hot soup and placed It on a table on which books, school bags, and caps were scattered, 'In- spector Waugh was properly angry to. see such carelessness, and he made the pupils remove the books, bags and caps ,and sit in a decent manner at the table, The moral effect of a pro- perly conducted table, where the meal is started by the saying of grace, Is a•great help to the school discipline, The cost of the hot lunch need not be great. Generally the children are glad to take turns to provide the main article' of the hot part of the lunch -some milk, tomatoes, potatoes —nothing expensive, -and nothing to cause a lot of trouble to cook, Cooking is done by the children, un- der the supervision of the teacher, and this privilege la secured as a reward for having their school work well and quickly done. A wise teacher will not do much of the work herself, but will use the opportunity for practical in- struction, and for inspiring the child -1 ren to do their best to have a well - cooked dish, and a properly set and decently conducted table. Austr.aha Welcomes Insect Immigrants Three hundred million bugs of one variety have been released in Aus- tralia, says a recent report of the Commonwealth Prickly -Pear Board in Brisbane, Queensland, as a part of that continent's long campaign to rid itself of the American cactus plant, locally called the prickly pear, intro- duced thre years ago,which has now spread as a weed over vast areas of once -useful land. Di•, 23, E. Free thus comments in his Week's Science (New York): "In Mexico and the southwestern parts of the United States, where these cactus plants are native, they have many insect and other enemies. The result is that they seldom spread outside the purely desert parts' of the country, where almost no other plant will grow, and where the land 18 vir- tually useless. In Australia, where no cactus ever had lived, these insects and other cactus -eaters were lacicing. •Once introduced .there, the cactus found nothing to limit its growth. Man, as usual, .is paying the 'bill for the careless introduction. Some years ago scientific men conceived the idea of introducing :into Australia insect enemies of the cactus plants' from other /ands. One of these was the cochineal insect, which lives ,on the cactus plants in Mexico, and from which the red dye of that name is made." 'I've dreamed of you constantly ever since I met you."

Like the islands of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomand, the hotel' belongs to the bake of Mont- rose, The hotel, however, is nit •the original inn, the rite of which lies about one mile west and marked :only by a few stones. Readers of "Rob Roy" will remem- ber how a brawl took place among the soldiers in Jean M_cAlphine's Inn, and how the talkative Bailie Nicol Jarvis from the Glasgow Sautmarket became 11,volved,- The wrath of this worthy magistrate was aroused by the slighting references made to his trade as a weaver, hnd he seized a red-hot poker and made for the bare legs of the Highlanders. In the midst of this tumult came Dougal Cratur from under the table where he had been hiding, and brandishing his clay- more affirmed his intention of "fecht- ing" for the Bailie. Near the modern Bailie Nicol Jarvis Hotel is an old oak tree upon which hangs a piece of metol claimed to be the veritable poker' used by the. incensed Bailie.

Organizations are. Agreed Toronto, -Leading health organiza- tions of Canada are unanimous in stating that thousands of Canadians are dying years ahead of their time of dleeasee which, could be prevented. During the past few weeks three dif- ferent health organizations, the Social Hygient Council, the Ontario Medical Association, and the Ontario Health Officers held annual meetings here, And all three agree that diphtheria and typhoid fever could swiftly be I stamped out if the general public were not too shiftless to take advant- age dvantage of methods of prevention which medical science has provided. that thousands of individuals could prolong their lives many years by submitting to a careful thorough physical exam - 'nation once a year, in a word, that Prevention of disease is better than cure. "When three reputable organize tions, representing different phases of the work of public health, are in com- plete accord upon such important mat- ters atters as these," stated Dr, Gordon P. Jackson, Toronto Medical Officer of Health, "the general public would do well to heed their advice.' Quebec Soon to Have 19 Rural Health Units Quebec continues to outstrip the rest of Canada in her strikingly mod- ern treatment of rural health prob- lems. Two new country health units —email, full-time medical departments of health, serving rural areas, and re placing the old-style, part-time medi- cal officer of health—are shortly to be established. One will be in Rimouski, the other Frontenac. When bbey are operating, Quebec will have 19 Health Unite, car- rying on their operations in twenty- three countries. Public health authorities are agreed that the changes being made in Que- bec In this regard virtually constitute a health revolution. The entire pro- vince became "sold" on the health unit idea when the original Unit in Beanoe County demonstrated its abili- ty to save scores of lives during the first two years of its operation. Now all classes in the community are Solid- ly behind the idea. The clergy is especially active in encouraging it. Prince Edward island Attacking Diphtheria Canatet's tiniest province le far from being Canada's most backward pro- vince insofar as health management are concerned. An active campaign of diphtheria immunization is now in pro- gress there. The Provincial Board of Health Is determined to wipe this dis- ease out, as 0 has been wiped out by skillful and persistent public health work in Rankiltou, Ontario. Permanent Fox Show? Charlottetown, P,E,I.—In 011 probe - the annual fox show in Char- lottetown will .become a •permanent institution. At the first meeting of the Prince Edward Island Fox Exhibit- ors Association recently, sentiment was strongly in favor of this plan. The directors' report said that the 1929 show had exceeded all expecta- tions Supervised Play We take 0 for granted that children should be supervised during echo0l• hours. All that may be gained by? such supervision may be lost if there is no supervision at the hunch or dur- ing play time, It Is during these periods that the school bully spreads terror among the timid ones, and the sebooi sneak does those things that upset the morale of the school. There is no doubt that supervised play will mean a busy time for the teacher, and at times a supervised noon ]four will be well nigh imposs- ible. But a growing number of teach- ers are undertaking these extra duties and are establishing a point of con- tact with the children that gives ex- cellent results in good conduct, and In application to studies. Our children need to be taught to play. They need to know how to throw a ball, catch it, slide to the bases, be real out-ilelders and good sports. There is no need to train "rooters." ' We have plenty of them now; but we do need that all should learn to play. When Sir A, C. Macdonald became Commandant of the Royal Military College at Kingston, he noticed that one baseball team did all the playing. Inquiring the cause, he was answered in .this fashion—"Ws have bad our tryout, and that's the College team." Sir A. C. at once. told the students that each platoon must have its team, that they must learn the rules of the game, stud be true sports. Ile did not allow any bullying or cat calling. The result was the seveloprnent of some good players, and the opportunity for all to play, When the hockey season opened, it was found that none of the students knew enough about the game to be referee, so a local boy was pressed in- to service, and his decisions were al- ways obeyed without question. That is the play spirit that should be developed; and it should be de- veloped in as many pupils as possible. It 3s well to remember that the poor players need the discipline and train- ing of the games more than the pupils who take naturally to sport, and who are able to shine 1n this field of ac- tivity.—Samuel Farmer, President a Canadian School Trustees' Assn, MUTT AND JEFF- By BUD FISHER If Silence is Golden . ..

Apart. entirely from the military problems involved, the dive•eion of tratTe and trade would inevitably follow the con- struction of such a tunnel and would be a very rimnneed. The CIiamseberous . of aStoorppingId, of the United Kingdom reported that much trams from all parts of Europe now carried by sea in home trade, and On the Mediterranean routes, was likely to be attracted by a Channel tunnel, Moreover, the French potty df Cbe' bourg, Dieppe, Havre, Calais' and Bon - tonne have all been vlgorouely op- posed to the project, fearing—and not without reason—that if carried into effect, it would militate seriously against their welfare, as their pros- perity depends upon the shipping, both passenger and cargo traffic. While it is admitted that the estab- lishment of a tunnel route would greatly facilitate the carriage of goods and bring about a reorientation of trade routes that would in turn result in lower prices, the magnitude of the issues iuvolved in such a reorientation is such es to give good ground' for be- lief that n0 country is ready to face them at the present time. Sooner or later, in all probability, a tunnel will be built, but when 1t is 0 will be with the approval of both Britain and France. To -day the general sentiment of both nations appears to be against it, and the decision .f the MacDonald Government will, therefore, be gener- ally approved. American "Good Daily" Y Lads to Fight Bugs A, war on insect pests will be waged this year by the Rural Scout Division of the Boy Scouts of America, accord- ing to an announcement from the Na- tional Council of that organization in New York, The work will be con- ducted under the supervision of the camping and rural scouting depart- monts, Special efforts of the Rural Scout Division will be concentrated on the extermination of the Japanese bean beetle, coddling moth, gypsy moth and Mediterranean fruit fly, the mosquito and the common house fly. During the winter and early Spring the Scouts studied about the life and habits of these insects with the idea of being 'thoroughly familiar with the mast ef- fective means of exterminating them. In fighting the house fly and mosquito the rural Scouts will have the help of the city Scouts, who will drain stag- nant pools, put oil on the surface of marshes and conduct a campaign in co-operation with health authorities for cleanliness about the tomo. Modern Lines Followed In German Construction Anyone looking for extensive exam- ples of modernism, which many Ameri- can architects have come to believe is an elusive factor in modern construc- tion, has only to visit German, ac - tenting to an observer who passed three weeks in Berlin, on the Rhine and in the Rehr district, Out of seventy buildings, most of them erected in the last five years, only three or four of any size were found which were not designed on striking modern lines.
