ANALYSIS
T. JESUS ON THE Steele vs. 1-4.
II. JESUS THE GUEST, vs. 5-10..
INTEODUCTTON--Jesus andbis dia-
eiples were going up to Jerusalem for
the last time. He was calmly . and
courageously facing what he now
knew to be unavoidable—the deadly
hostility of the Jewish.suiers and their
purpose to destroy him, Luke 18:,31-
34, Nevertheless, he was not so pre-
occupied with his own enterprise and
its dangers as to be insensible to the
needsof those about him. Here, as
always during his ministry, human
affliction appealed to him. Ilecould
not pass by unheard the cry of the
blind man, "Jesus, thou son of David,
have mercy on me." Nor could he pass
unnoticed the chief publican driven by
m. still greater need which his wealth
could not supply to seek a vantage
point from which he could see the
Master of whom he had heard.
The sub -heading of our lesson, "A
Business Man Converted," may pos-
sibly convey a wrong impression, sug-
gesting that Zacchmus is a typical
business man, or that a man so en-
gaged is a sinner, No doubt the busi-
ness man needs the transforming and
renewing grace of Christ as much as
any other, but he is not exceptional.
Jesus finds the lost whom he has come
to seek in every rank and circumstance
of life, in the self-righteous Pharisee,
the 'rich ruler, the Galilean fisherman,
the brother and sisters of Bethany,
the lawyer tempting him with hard
questions. There is, one may well be-
lieve, as much integrity and honor 'n
business as in any other walk or ac-
cupation.
L JESUS OE THE ROAD, Vs. 1-4.
"And he entered and was passing
through Jericho." Here at Jericho in
the Jordan valley, .about five miles
.west of the river, -three roads meet
two from the -east Jordan country and
one from the north. Other roads lead
westward into the villages of Ephraim
and to Jerusalem. By one of these
Jesus and his disciples came £rangy the
north or east on their way to Jeru-
salem, having prrr,ably joiner' a com-
pany of DL:.,t ins from Galilee going to
the celebrtlion of the feast of the
Passover. I' ;r ether incidents of this
journey see Luke 17: 11-18, 43; Mark
10: 2-52; Matthew 19::I to 20; 34. See
also Luke 19: 11-28.
The publican or tax -gatherer was
not held in high esteem by the Jewish
people. He gathered taxes for the
Roman government which they de-
tested. No doubt he bad opportunities
of extortion which he may have ueed,
or may have been suspected of using,
for his own enrichment. A rich anti
fertile district hire that about Jericho
would offer many temptations. But
there was something in the heart of
Zachteus which his wealth did not
satisfy. He sought to see Jesus,
who he seas," and it seeking he found
a great Friend and Saviour.
II. JESUS THE GUEST, vs, 5-10.
It is quite evident that Zacchmus,
the public, was honored, and felt him -
ale to be honored, by the announce-
ment of Jesus, -Today I must abide
at thy beast," He must have felt the
contempt and hatred of his neighbors
who regarded him as a sinner against
God aro against his own people. And
now, to his great surprise, he has
been ch- en. out of the crowd for this
signal hon ,r. A great Jewish teacher
of who: r he has heard so much that is
good will enter his house as his guest.
No wonder that "he received him
joyfully." The coining in of Jesus as
his. guest, in contrast with the mur-
muring of the crowd, must have touch-
ed hien deeply and must have stirred
his conscience to awakening, as no con-
tempt or censure could possibly have
done. One can imagine the scene. Evil
cannot abide in that gracious presence.
Jesus speaks no word of condemna-
tion, but his very entrance is a judg-
ment. Zacchmus :stood and mads con-
fession and promise of restitution.
Not until be had done that could he be
the perfect host to his divine guest.
Thus Edersheim writes of what hap-
pened: "In that moment, Zacchmus
saw it all: what his past had been,
what his present was, what his future
must be. Standing forth, not so much
before the crowd as before the Lord,
and not ashamed, nay, scarcely eon -

birds for the twelve months which
will furnish valuable data to those
who are desirous of increasing the
egg -laying propensities of their flocks,
but who have not time nor facilities
for conducting their own tests. The

Shaw writing plays in England and;
strangely enough, he is a nephew of
G. B. S. Ins is Dr.' Bernard Shaw,
assistant .pathologist at a Newcastle
infirmary, who has been writing spine
short plays for the students at Arm-
strong College which are said to have
been regarded very highly by the•Mac-
dons Players. This company' gives a
season of the better known Shaw plays
at the Court Theatre here recently.
Dr. Shaw was not christened after
his uncle, for Bernard, he says, is a
family name., Like a cousin of Mr.
Shaw's, who lives in Chipstead, Sur-
rey, he has not kept in touch with
0. B. S., who seems to have little use
for family relations.
In spite. of his reputation as an
amateur dramatist, Dr. Bernard Shaw
ie by no means an amateur pathologist
and his talents in the theatre are not
expected to lead:him into serious com-
petition with ,his uncle. Isere is no
case of a doctor's dilemma.

Talking Pictures
Aid the Hospitals
Survey Reveals at Least Three
Ways in Which .Institu-
tions - May Be
Helped
New York,—That the talking plc-•
tures will open three new avenues. of
progress for hospitals of today is the
belief of both the makers' and users
of talking picture apparatus, says
The Modern Hospital. These three •
avenues are: the entertainment of con- ,
v'alescer,t patients; the training of
student nurses by the sight and sound
method and the presentation of screen
entertathment in connection with hos-
pital fund-raising campaigns.
Excerpts from a recent survey of
thehospital field are quoted here:
"Motion pictures have been used as
aids. to •instructing nurses and atten-
dants in hospital work .for the past
decade in various parts of the world
One hospital, the Serfimerlasarettet, -
in Stockholm; has used films for medi-
cal instruction for fifteen years.But
with the advent of the talking picture
the applications of the talking screen
to medical and scientific .advancement
are increased a hundredfold. The hos-
pital field has been awaiting the de-
velopment of .i portable notion pioture
sound projector, ready to plug into
the electric light socket, and to be
whee}ed from room to room as re.
quired.
"Plans .ranging from the talking
motion picture as a teaching film to
be used in conjunction with lecture
courses delivered by hospital staffs in
the instruction' of''student nurses, to
'animated' textbooks' that would -pro-
vide entirely neva pproaches to many
medical' problems :arenow under dis-
cussion by leading hospital author-
ities. The facility with which the
talking film Iends itself to medical in-_
strnctioh can best be appreciated when
it is ionderetood that fifty • student
nurses watching a surgeon can see
Tittle more than theireyes and the po-
sition of their chairs: permit them to
see. On the film, closeups can carry
the spectator to the heart of the op-
eration. The talking film gives the
spectator a running lecture that out
lines in detail the elements of th4
surgery.
"The applications of the talking filn
to the hospital . are •almost unlimited
Hospitals having., a- library of record-
ed surgery films will no longer have
to rearrange their nurses' lecture
schedules .to fit the program of the
operating room. Any type of surgical
demonstration will be available; at any
time, accompanied by a complete lec-
ture delivered by the, surgeon who per-•
formed the operation. Nurses and stu-
dent nurses can see the world's great•
est surgeons at work, a privilege
heretofore. granted only to a select
few. Attendants can learn the proper
procedure of hospital routine through
their favorite entertainment medium.
"In the entertainntent of conal
escont patients, the portable talk-
ing picture projector will likewise
play an important part. Fifty or a
hundred patients can be assembled in
a convenient room and the portable
apparatus wheeled in and plugged into
the light socket to produce an after-
noon of enjoyable -sound -motion pic
'ture entertainment. Patients will for-
get they arein a hospital.
CANADA AND EMPIRE
REFORESTATION
Canada is yearly playing a bigger
part in Empire` reforestation, Fifty-
three per cent. of the tree seed ex-
ported has gone to Great Britain,
forty per cent. to New Zealand, and
the remainder to Australia, Ireland,
and other parts of the Empire. Dur-
ing the . past ten years the British
Forestry Commission has planted
140,000 acres of softwoods, the great-
er
reater part of the seed used corning from

CANADA AND INDIAN AFFAIRS -
In Canada the first and most im-
portant idea underlying the•adminis-
tration of Indian Affairs is protection
that is, to protect a dependout race
in its lands, moneys, and its contact
with the community, The Magna
Charts of the Canadian Indians Isthe
Proclamation of 1763 which set forth
that no Indian could be dispossessed
of his lands without his consent and
theconsent of the ,Crown. The rea-
son of Canada's success in the man-
agement of Indians is based ou: that
broad principle.
One windy ,afternoon an English
landlord, while passing along tha
country lane, observed one of the cot•
tagers eating his frugal meal by the,.
roadside before his, humble dwelling.
