IN.retotiiICTIoN—On the first reading
Of Matthoev, one inight think that J. -
sus spoke very little about himself as
the Saviour, and that in this way it
was very different from the Gospel of
John, where there are many passages
which refer to himself, sueh as "I am
the Good Shepherd," "I an the True
Vine." However,a more careful read-
ing ,of the synoptists reveals the fact
that behind the apparaatly impersoaal
naeratiye there is a seal background
of Self-consciousness. It would be an
interesting study to pick out the pass-
ages in Matthew, such as 5: 22; 12:
6, Where the connection of Jesus with
the kingdom is definitely expressed.
T. JESUS IN RELATION TO JOHN, 2-6.
V. 2. The relation of Jesus to John
the Baptist is very instructive. There
are few finer instances of self-efface-
ment and self-sacrifice than that illus-
trated by John the Baptist as he calm-
ly accepts the place of insignificance.
"He must increase, t• it I must cle-
Orease." Nor is there any mare chiv-
alrous defence of a friend than that
which Jesus makes of John, where he
had no other to speak well of him.
John had been imprisoned by Herod
'Antipas in the castle of Machaerus,
Cast of the Dead Sea. As he pondered
in these dull cells on the course of
events, his mind became troubled, and
he 'began to despair about the corning
of• the kingdom. With what assur-
ance and enthusiasm bad he predicted
the early con.iag of the Messiah; but
hew there is nothing to justify his
hope. Like Elijah and many other
great reformers John is now passing
into the time c•f" despondency: It was
the slough of despond. It was out of
this mood that the question now put
to Jesus arose.
V. 8, Jesus replied by sending back
et message on the progress tht r is be-
ing made. Things are really chang-
ing, since the classes .o much neglect-
ed by the world are now receiving con-
sideration. We should read Luke 4:
18, in which we find that Jesus used
as his first text in Nazareth a passage
from Isaiah, chap. 61, which is much
like these verses.
Evidently the parts of the Prophets
Which most attracted, Jests those that
foretold the social reconstruction of
the world, and the conquest of evil and
Wrong and sorrow. His heart was
filled -with pity for all who were needy
ancl neglected. In fact, there was no-
thing more distinctive of Jesus than
his deep concern for the poor. Now lie
would have John know that this class
tls being considered. It is the lame,
the blind, the poor. who are getting
new chances, and this is evidence that
the kingdom is coming,
I. JESUS IN RELATION TO THE woat..0,
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 converts did not come from
the rich and learned classes, but from
the common folk. This may have caus-
ed them some surprise, and they may
have questioned Jesus about it. He
tells them not to be surprised. This
is the will of the Father, and Jesus
is glad that it is so. The wise and
learned here are the Scribes and Phar-
isees, who, instead of accepting Jesus,
billy tried to put stumbling -blocks in
his way, These people were self-suffi-
cient and did not feel their need. But
the poor and sinful were only too con -
0± their poverty anti weakness,
and gladly come to Chriet. It has been
thus always. It would be wrong to
say that the great and noble have
never accepted Chriet, since the church
has had among its irtembers some of
the most distinagiehed minds of all
time, but it is generally true that the
gospel has gained many followers from
the poor and the needy.
V. 2S. These memorable words fol-
low naturally upon that which has
been said already. He has told John
that the poor and blind are being
cared for, and now Jesus lifts up his
Voice to call all who are weak and
heavy -laden to come to him. What a
*sense of divine mission is here reflect-
ed! What mere mortal could venture
to call those who were heavy -laden to
himself es to a sure means of bless-
ing? It is in saying:: like these that
'we get a glimpse into the divine heart
Of our Lord. The testimony of the
ages has justified this claina—"I found
in him a resting plaee, ancl he has
Made me glad."
Feudal Times
Recalled by
Scottish Claim
Baroness Herries of Terregles
Exacts Tribute from
Feuars'.
Edinburgh, An ,echo of feudal
times, when a 'vassal if be did not go
ti, war for his aaperioes 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 Herries of Terre-
gles to exact the tribute from the
,"feuars' of her patrimonial lands.
Feu in Scotland is the common
mode of land teuure, and In feu -hold-
ing limper the tenant, in addition to a
substantial minuet payment of money
in return for the enjoyment. 0± the
land, is also ebliged to .pay "casual-
ties' Or 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 been redeemed or com-
muted by January 1, 1930, were to be
extinguished and discharged, and it is
this Act under which the duchess is
taking action.
The amount of money at stake Is
said to amount to £20,000, ond the de-
mands vary from £20 to El5O.
It was stated at a meeting of the
property owners concerned that con;
siderable uncertainty existed as to
'the liability of some owners to Pay,
mink to the age or want of title
deeds, These owners decided to be-
come passive resistere.
Intention
Where the title is established and
liability admitted it was agreed to pre-
sent. a memorial to the duchess point-
ing out the depression of the times
and the hardship the payment of the
sums demanded would mean to many.
Major Dudgeon, M.P. for Galloway,
has declared his intention of bringing
the cases to the notice of the Solicitor -
General and. the Lord Advocate for
their opinions..
..The last time "casualties" were de.
mended in Dumfries was in 1884.
The Duchess of Norfolk, who is 53,
is the mother of the present duke,
who is Hereditary Earl Marshal of
England and premier duke and earl,
He came of age last year. His father
died in 1917.
4,508,808 Cars Visit
Canada in 12 Months
Montreal.—Foreign automobiles to
the number of 4,503,808 reported into
Canada last year for touring purposes,
it has been announced by the Hon. W.
D. Euler, Minister of National Re-
venue. This was an increase of 863,-
358 cars over 1928. Every province
enjoyed a substantial growth in tour-
ist traffic.
A feature of the report is the in-
crease of over 150,000 in the number
of cars 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 came 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 ihich came ixi under the
t� -day permit totalled 945,545.
Even at an. estimate of three per-
sons to each car the above figures are
impressive as to the number of people
from tits United States who visited
this country last year The totals will
set statisticians figuring the amount
of money this multitude left in the
country and emphasize the great Ira-
portance to Canada of its tourist traf-
fic.
"Ontario is the bauuer tourist pro-
vince Of the Dominion,' said the Minis-
ter's statement. "More than 75 per
cent. (3,505,500) of the total tourist
vehicles entering Canada came in by
)ntario ports."

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 bes

thing, over $2000. The savingfrom
the controlled temperature in this
room is estimated to have been fully
$1000 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 hens the following autumn. A
project to study this question was un-
dertaken at the Summerland, B.C.,
Experimental Station of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. It was found
that the eggs from each bird of the
March hatch returned approximately
thirty cents more than each bird of
the April hatch, and fifty-two cents
more than each bird hatched atthe
end of April. Late hatched birds,
however, have been shown to have an
advantage the second season althougb
not enough to make up for the loss
the first year. According to err'

Cleaning Up Canadian Herds
Tremendous strides have been made
in Canada towards the eradication of
tuberculosis in cattle. Fifteen yean
ago the Department of Agriculture at
Ottawa began the testing of cattle as
the beginning of a policy which has so
developed as to 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 titli "Bovine Tubercul-
osis," describes the main plans that
are pursued by the Health of Animals
Branch.
By the Accredited Herd plan, when
a herd has passed two annual or three
semi-annual 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 twtethirds
of the cattle owners of a definite 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.

British Public Urged by
Geologist to Support
Development
London—In a paper read at the In-
stitution of Petroleum Technologists,
E. A. Cunningham Craig, an English
geologist well-known in Western Can-
ada, scored, the apathY of British capi-
talists in allowing an important oil-
field to pass under control of Melts.
Mr. Craig sounded an alarm in, the
following words:
"It would be difficult now for • a
British company to acquira any large
interest in the most promising Al-
berta, oil areas without paying high
prices. 'What is required' nov is the
formation of a few large and well -or-
ganized companies, managed in Can-
ada by men with local knowledge and
supported financially from Britain. It
is not in the best interests bf the Brit-
ish Commonwealth tha tthe control of
these new oilfields should fall into
alien. hands.
"That dauger is fully realized by
Canadians. There is a greater work

disgraceful that the Mother Country
is taking so little part in this import-
ant development"
Peace on Paper

Over 2,000 treaties have been register-
ed with the League of Nations since

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 relatiousphips," and in
effect to provide for the defence of the
Empire not in tlae world as it is, but
in the unreal world of possible, prob-
able, profound peace existing in the
imagination a politicieus. Even so,
