THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Tiiue - The discourse and prayer
in these two chapters were ail utter-
ed on Thursday night of Passion
Week, April 7th. A.D. 30.
Place - Both Jesus' teaching and
his intercessory prayer here record-.
ed were uttered on the way to the
Garden of Gethsemane, either in the
city itself or in the valley between
the city and the Mount of Olives, or
in both.
"But now 1 go unto him that sent
me; and none of you asketh me, Whi-
ther goest thou?" The isolated ques-
tions of Peter and Thomas (13:36;
14:5) are not inconsistent with these
words. Those questions were not ask-
ed with a view to the Lord's glory;
and much had been said since which
might have moved the dsciples to a
persistency of inquiry. But their
thoughts were bent upon their own
immediate loss and no one asked how
this departure affected him; so com-
pletely had their own sorrow absorb-
ed them
"But because 1 have spoken these
things unto you, .sorrow hath filled
your heart." Four times in John's
Gospel does the word sorrow occur,
all of them in this ,,hapten (see also
vs. 20, 21, 22).
Nevertheless I tell you the truth.
It is expedient for you that 1 go away
for if 1 go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if 1 go, 1
will send ham unto you." The word
here translated "expedient" is the
same word used by Caiaphas, the
high priest, in speaking about the
necessity for one roan's dying for the
People (John 11:50; 18:14) "The high
line of politics," said Caiaphas, is that
we get rid of him. The higher line of
God's policy said Jesus is that 1 go.
Thus all the folly and wickedness is
at least resolved into the harmony of
the divine • overnment and the divine
authority
"1've given them thy word." (See
Deut. 18:18, 19 • Mal. 2:4, 6; John 7 16
5:24) "And the world hated them, be-
cause they re -et o; the world, even
as 1 am not of the world." The tenses
are past, b the main reference as-
suredly is prophetic; we infer Chat
here, as so frequently in this prayer,
the Lord is speaking as if the future,
which lay germinating iu the present
was the present already
"I pray not that thou shouldest take
them from the world, but that thou
shouldesi keep them Tom the evil
one." Taht is only evil to us, which
can hurt the ooul (Psalm 121:7) all
the other things, which we may think
evil, and call evil, shall work together
for our good. The evil hat can hurt
the soul shall never come night our
dwelling. No evil, no hurt, no loss, no
spiritual evil, can ever more prevail
to injure the soul of auv child of God,
whe:her it arise from the evil one,
or from the hatred of the world, or
from our own poor wretched, fallen
nature, or from the iominion or the
consegrences of sin
"They are not of the world, even as
I am not of the world." Though we
were born in the world, and live by
the substance of th world physically,
are educateu in the world's schools,
and tran.,act business in the world's
markets, yet we are delive ed from
the dominion of the ideals of the
world atom. 12:2). We, by our faith,
in Jesus Christ, have victor. over the
evil temptation of the wo'•ld (1 John
5: ,1. •
ti .Motifs them in the truth; they
word is tru".i." The petition in verse
15 may be said to he a negative one.
That in his verse is the positive side
of the same idea. (Cf. 10:36). The
word of God in his Son the diselo-
ure to men of eternal truth; truth as,
to his origin, position, destiny, the
ti .r as to his relationship to God
himself and his Son, Jesus Christ; as
to his n ationship to brother men, his
pia he: e, his hope for the future.
' As thou didst send me into the
'tvor.,1, even so sent 1 them into the
world." God's one great concern for
the world was that it should be saved;
to achieve this tremendous purpose,
he sent the Lord Jesus into the world.
This same purpose in the heart of
God remains today, end it is to this
end that Christ sends us into the
word, though of course our work in
accomplishing God'e plan is not iden-
tical with tee work that Christ did.
• Ond fee thole sakes 1 sanctify my.
sell', that thay themselves aleo may
bo eatietifieti in truth." Christ made
the truth menet in his own ince?•nate
1113. t:ud lee cheery over sin and over
the world, earl his own holiness, are
to he appropriated by us by the very
Spirit oil Christ who lives within us.
"Neither for these only do 1 pray,
but icer thein also that believe on me
through their word." The word of the
diecipies here referred to their work
and testimony to the Lord Jesus
Ch.b;t, the witness which they gave
to hie saving power. (See 4:30; Acts
1:8, 22).
`"chat they may be all be ono; 'even
as t.bou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also nay be In us;
D-3
that the world may believe that thou
didst send me. And the glory which
thou hast given me, I have given unto
them; that they may be one, even as
wo are one, "I In them, and thou in
me, that they may be perfected in
one; that the world may know that
thuo didst send me, and lovedst them
even as thou lovedst me." No human
brotherhood can exist apart from the
common bond of the individuals to the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian
unity should testify to its divine ori-
gin. '"he unbelief of the world la not
occasioned, is largely strengthened
and hardened by the disunion of the
Christians. The glory of the Son, gi-
vein him by the Father, can be noth-
ing else than the Father's love; that
love which constitutes us sons in
Christ.
"Father, desire that they also
w'iom thou hast given me be with me
where I am, and they may behold the
glory, which thou hast given me; for
thou lovedst me before the founda-
tion of the world. ' The will of Christ
for his people includes two things,
that 'hey should be -'ith him where he
is (see 12:26; 14:3); •tad that they
should behold his glory.
"0 righteous Father, the world,
knew thee not, leu` 1 k"e• thee; and
these knew that thou didst send me."
"And ' made known unto them thy
name, and will make it known; that
the love wherewith tlio'i lovedst me
may be in them, and I in them." Ail
of Christ's redemptive work, all of
his teaching and intercessory work,
everything undertaken in the marvel-
ous, unfathomable divine program of
having men terminates in the perfe'-
tion of love. What could be conceiv-
ed more glo,ious, more exalted, and
more satisfying ever though we can-
not fully comprehend it, th-n such a
divine purpose for us as this -- that
the love wit . which Goa loves his
only begotten Son night be in us,
transforming us, energizing us, abid-
ing through the endless ages of eter-
nity, from which nothir.'* will ever be
able to eparatc us (atom, 8:38, 39) ?

It has always been difficult to get
permission to visit studios in Holly-
wood. Froin now on, popular come-
dians like the Marx Brothers, Jack
?enny, and Burns and Allen hope
to make it impossible. In fact, if
there were any way that they could
make pictures without having a flock
of carpenters, electricians, property
men, and extras around, they would
be heartily in favor of adopting it.
• Thieves on the set are the reason
for all this uproar. It would be bad
enough if the thieves merely lifted
jewelry, or furs, but 'Mese thieves
steal ideas whose worth cannot be
estimated unless you can think in
taggering 1 ig figures. When come-
dians and their gag men have final-
ly worked oat a funny situation and
filmed it, two months niay elapse be-
fore it is shown on the screen. But
almost at once comedians elsewhere
introduce their funny situation. Ob-
viously, someone from the studio told
thein about it -but who?
-o-
It is always gratifying to see a
real trou nee win out over all odds.
That is why every-
one is rejoicing
over Alice Faye's
bit in "0n the
Avenue." When
Irving Berlin mov-
ed into the Twen-
tieth Century Fox
studio with a knock-
out musical score
under his arm, the
studio officials said,
Alice Faye "We've got some-
thing big 'here " So, they decided
to build up a marvelous cast with
players borrowed from other stu-
trios. They get Dick Powell from
Warner's and Madeleine Carroll
from Walter. Wagner Productions
for the leading roles. And then
their own Alice Faye in a secondary
role walked off with all honors that
weren't taken by the crazy antics of
their own Ritz Brothers.

A long time ago Paramount
bought a story called "Easy Money"
for Carole Lombard, but she has
been so busy on other pictures she
never got around to make it. Mean-
while the studio officials have been
impressed byw the bounding popu-
larity of Jean Arthur and decided
she would do nicely in the leading
role.

1. Question: -`'I have a )tof
wood ashes. Would it do to iitt on
land now or would it leach t too
touch? I intend to put it on}• °ege
table and root crops. Also, o you
tell me anything about Gyps " , or
land plaster as it is common call-
ed? My father years ago d to
sow it on red clover and on t ;'tur-
nips when nicely up. He 'd it
kept the fly off. Does it hel .ege-
table growth?, I 'used to pa it• on
my cut potatoes to dry or ke, hem
from bleeding as it were, si .'e, we
had to cut them quite awhil` head
when putting in 10 or 12 a 'es. 1
have not been able to get it t' a last,;
few years." -T. C. F., Peel County.
Answer: -I would not advise yea
to put wood ashes on the land'at ,this
time. Too touch available plantfood'•
would leach out before growing
time. Rather store the wood ashes
so that neither rain nor snow can
fall on it, and in the spring „put it
on the plowed ground and work it in
by discing and harrowing. 5i ou are
quite right in putting this on vege-
table and root crops since it is rela-
tively high in potash. It contains
about thirty per cent lime which will
tend to keep your soil sweet, in re-
action.
Gypsum is sulphate of lime; while
Limestone is carbonate of Bine. As
you indicate, Gypsum usd to be
used in large quantities. It !did not
correct soil acidity, but it"'did".let
loose the potash out of the soil.
That is why the crops were improved
in yield and quality where it was
applied, tint its use is not to be
reeonnnended since its adtion in lib-
erating potash resembles very close:y
the writing of cheques on 0 limited
bank account. Gypsum does not put
back any plantfood into the soil, hut
it dries help let loose highly valuable
potash. This is why it used to be
considered valuable to dip cut po-
tatoes in Gypsum. The potato crop
is a lover of high potash fertilizer
since potash is instrumental in form -
the starch which fills the po-
tato. tuber•
• You would do better to put your
money into fertilizer suitable for po-
tatoes rather than put on Gypsum
which depletes your soil of potash.

Question: -"I am seeking in-
formation regarding the comparative
values of the various farm manures
such as poultry, sheep, swine, etc.,
'as fertilizers. If you have available
any information in respect to this,
please send it to me as soon as pos-
-sible. Also is it a fact that poultry
manure is too strong to be used
alone: I understand it can be
used without harm by florists. I
shall be very glad to receive this in-
formation." - C. 0. H., Wenwoith

Answer:-- Herewith we present a
table of analysis figures for various
manures concerning which you in-
quire:

Tons manure produced per year
1,000 lbs, live weight
You will notice that these are 10
terms of pounds per ton of manure.
Poultry manure is double as rich in
nitrogen as horse manure, three
times as rich in phosphoric acid and
about the same in potash as is horse
manure. 1f poultry manure were to
be used alone on grain crops or 00
such crops as tomatoes, it would tend
to grow too muchstraw or stalk, on
7.0 12,7 7.5 5.5 7.3 6.7
account of the nitrogen. It can be
easily balanced by adding super-
phosphate or better still, a phos-
phate -potash fertilizer, such as 0-12-
10 or 0-12-15. Florists value poultry
manure highly on account of its high
,nitrogen content. This is also true
of sheep manure which florists and
gardeners use extensively. You will
notice that sheep manure is about
twice a rich in potash as is poultry
mature.
