ANALYSIS
%, JESUS ON THE ROAD, vs, 1-4.
II JESUS THE GUEST, vs. 5-10.
INTRODUCTION—Jesus and his dis-
ciples were going up to Jerusalem for
ogle last time. He was calmly and
courageously facing what he now
J.new to be unavoidable—the deadly
hostility of the Jewish rulers and their
purpose to destroy him, Luke 18: 31-
34. Nevertheless, he was not so pee-
iioccupied with his own enterprise and
its dangers as to be insensible to the
needs of those about him. Here, as
',always during his ministry, human
affliction appealed to him. He could
,not pass by unheard the cry of the
K. -blind. man, "Jesus, thou son of David,
'• have mercy on me." Nor could he pass
unnoticed the chief publican driven by
a 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-
r gesting that Zacchasus 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 oc•
cupation.

so much is the sorrow of the past in
true repentance swallowed up by the
joy of the present—Zacchaeus vowed
fourfold restoration of what had be-
come his through false accusation, as
well as the half of all his goods to the
poor. And so the whole current of his
life had been turned in those few mo-
ments through his joyous reception of
Christ, the Saviour of sinners; and
Zacehmus, the public' robber, the rich
chief of the publicans, had become an
almsgiver."
That which Jesus came to do, "to
seek and to save that which was lost,"
is what those who profess to be his
followers must endeavor to do today,
and it can best be done by friendliness.
The open door, the offered hand, the
kindly remembrance, the friendly visit,
will win where cold condemnation and
harsh censure fail. Jesus' way with
such a roan as the publican is still
the best way.

1. JESUS ON 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 carne from the
north or east on their way to Jeru-
salem, haviuu probably joined a cere.
parry of pilgrims from Galilee going to
the celebr-tion of the feast of the
Passover.

10: 2-52; Matthew 19: 3 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
Boman government which they de-
tested,. No doubt he had opportunities
of extortion which he may have used,
or may have been suspected of using,
for his own enrichment. A rich and
fertile district like that about Jericho
would offer many temptations. But
there was something in the heart of
Zachaeus which his wealth did not
satisfy. "He sought to see Jesus,
who he was," and in seeking he found
e great Friend and Saviour.
170 Tons of Mail

Ottawa Report Shows 500.
Machines and 717 Pilots
in Canada
Ottawa: For the three months end-
ing Sept. 30, the aircraft engaged
upon the • twelve air mail services
which now operate in Cascada carried
119,301 pounds of mail, bringing the
total from the beginning of the cur-
rent year up to 379,424 pounds, or
roughly 170 tons. One-half of the ser-
vices operate out of Montreal. Two
i.ew services are projected, according
to the quarterly report of the Civil
Aviation Branch of the Department of
National Defence. One will cover the
route from Amos to Siscoe hi Quebec,
a distance of forty-two miles, and the
second from Peace River to North
Vermilion in the Northwest Territor-
ies. The latter calls for sixteen re-
turn trips during the winter, and will
be continued for four years.
500 AIRCRAFT
The report shows that there are 500
aircraft flying in Canada, while the
of 1 number of pilots is 717, of whom 403
are commercial pilots. The Dominion
has seventy-two air harbors.
Detailing the flights of the various
air -mail services, the report shows
that the Toronto :Buffalo line flew
7,800 miles in the three months under
review, and carried 14,004 poundts of
mail. All scheduled trips were com-
pleted.
A total of 15,800 miles was flown
on the Montreal -Albany service, whose
operating efficiency was rated at 90
per cent. This firm operates the
Montreal -Toronto, Detroit, the Mon-
treal -Saint John,Moncton, the Mon-
treal -Quebec and the Ottawa-Mon-
treal-Rimouski services.
TOP MILEAGE.
Exceeding the forme companies in
mileage, however, were the planes of
the Western Canada Airways Ltd., of
Winnipeg. These flew 413,043 miles,
earryine 5,564 passengers, 316,898
pounds of baggage and express-, and
76,572 pounds of mail. The percentage
of regularity on schedule times was
rated at 97.4.
The report says that intermedi-
ate aerodromes are being leased, fenc-
ed in and graded with runways be-
tween Moose Jaw and Saskatoon,
Sask., and Lethbridge and Edmonton,
Alta., a distance of approximately 500
snipes. An airways beacon is being
installed on one corner of each aero-
drome, while five radio beacons are
being installed at present at Forrest,
Man.; Regina, Sack.; Maple Creek,
Sask.; Lethbridge and Red Deer, Alta.
There are 21. light aeroplane clubs
in th.; Dominion. For the nine months
ending Sept. 30, members of these
organizations had flown 11,567 hours.
The membership totalled 2,887. On-
tario has the largest number of flying
clubs with nine. Other provinces are:
Saskatchewan, three; Nava Scotia,
Manitoba and Alberta, two each; Que-

sexless and little understood sort of
reproduction is involved in the multi-
plication of genes, those invisible
particles' which are the active con-
stituent of chromosomes and which
govern hereditary development.
Describing what is believed to take
place, Dr. Calvin B. Bridges, of the
California Institute of Technology,
says:
• "The synthesis of daughter genes
utilizes materials abstracted from the
surrounding fluids. It is self -gov-
erned, occurring at and only at the
site of the original, or parental gene
of each specific kind.
"This growth is controlled by the
genes in the chromosomes, thereby
producing fingers on the hand, golden
hair and blue eye's, as well as every
other character in its proper place.'
Egg Laying Contest
The Saskatoon Poultry Association
has organized an egg laying contest,
beginning November lst to run for a
year on similar lines to that of the
Dominion Government. The object
is to secure for members of the Asso-
siation trap nest records of individual
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
aims of the Association is to encourage
the breeding of true -to -type birds that
will lay a protfiable number of eggs
of good size and color.

II. JESUS THE GUEST, vs. 5-10.
It is quite evident that Zaccnaeus,
the public, was honored, and felt hint -
self to be honored, by the announce-
ment of Jesus, "Today I must abide
at thy house." He must have felt the
contempt and hatred of his neighbors
who regarded him as a sinner against
God and against his own people. And
now, to his great surprise, he has
been chosen out of the crowd for this
Signal honor. A great Jewish teacher
of whom he has heard so much that is
good will enter his house as his guest.
!No wonder that "he received him
joyfully." The coming in of Jesus as
his guest, in contrast with the ,mur-
enuring of the crowd, must have touch-
ed him 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. Zacchaeus stood and made con-
fession and promise of restitution.
Not until he had done that could he be
the perfect host to his divine guest.
,Thus Edersheim writes of what hap-
pened: "In that moment, Zacchaeus
saw it all: what his past had been,
what his present was, what his future

London.—There is another Bernard
Shaw writing plays in England and,
strangely enough, he is a nephew of
G. B. S. He is Dr. Bernard Shaw,
assistant pathologist at a Newcastle
infirmary, who has been writing some
short plays for the students at Arm-
strong College which are said to have
been regarded very highly by the Mac-
dona Players. This company gives a
season of the better known Shaw plays
art 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
G. 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 hin'i into serious com-
petition with his uncle. Here is no
case of a doctor's dilemma.

Big 'Un From Meaford
Brantford. — A 30 -pound salmon
trout, the largest brought in -to the
city in recent years, was part of the
catch of a party of Brantford fisher-
men who have returned from Meaford.
The big fellow rose to Lou Alpaugh's
spoon and, with the aid of the lat-
ter's companions, was landed after a
struggle. The local salmon trout
record previously was held by Miss
Ruth ,LaRusli, whose catch at Mea -
ford last year weighed 22 pounds 6
ounces. ,

Hot Water From Exhaust
Many farmers who use a gas en-
gine for operating a mil1sth g ma-
chine or for pumping water find it
very convenient to utilize the engine
exhaust for heating water for clean-
ing purposes. There are two or
three commercial devices of this type
on the market at reasonable prices
which give .satisfactory service. It
is also not difficult to arrange home-
made devices of this kind.

The Passing of Autumn
The wizard has woven his ancient
scheme;
A clay and a starlit night;
And the world is a shadowy -pencilled
dream
Of color, haze and light.

To answer a fairy's whim,
A fold of an ancient tapestry,
A phantom rare and dim.

CANADA'S FIRST STEAMSHIP
The first steamship to be construct-
ed in Canada, the 'Accommodation",
was built in Montreal in 1809 by the
Honourable John Molson. During the
war of 1812-14 the ship rendered not-
able service on the St. Lawrence river
between Montreal and Quebec. A
tablet, erected by the National Parks
of Canada Branch, Department of the
Interior, is to be seen on the outer
main wall of the Molson ofllce 'in
Notre Dame street east, Montreal,
commemorating the historic event.
