JESUS IX azaAgiON .4) JOHN, 2,45, 11.JXSus IN Mamie. To TBI WORLD, 25-80. 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 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' Superintendent of the Station when once the birds settle down to work they gained a little each month on the early hatched birch with one or two exceptions.—Issued by ,the Di- rector of Publicity, Dom. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont. 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.

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.

These include the 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.

II, .T. Gussow, Dominion botanist, stated in a lecture under the auspices of the McGill chapter of the Sigma XI. Society in the Biological Building, on "Warfare with Plant Disease in Can- ticle." 'Wheat rust alone caused a loss of some $25,000,000 yearly, the greatest amount being in 1916, ivhen 'an esti- mated loss of $200,000,000 was borne by western wheat growers, Mr. Gus - sow said in dealing with the economic importance of plant clisease.•• • It was foundthat the spore's .which infect the wheat travel by air, germ particles being collected by an air. plane. at a height of 8,000 feet. The great movement of the spores is northwards from sited States, where wheat maturing earlier gives rise to a great number of black rust spores, which move north to attack Canadian, cereals, It was impossible to erect a barrier against these, so that efforts have been turned to the production of rust - resisting varieties of wheat, 'of which sortie four have been 'discovered, though yielding a lesser quantity of Cereal.
