LESSON FOR JUNE 7th, 1931 Lesson Topic—Jesus Crucified. Lesson Passage—Luke 23:33-46. Golden Text --Isaiah 53:5, After his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was taken into the high priests' house and there He was shamefully dealt with. When day dawned the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes as- sembled in council and questioned Him to find some word of His own which would witness against Him. Having gained their point they arose and led Him unto Pilate, the Roman Gover- nor. • The Encyclopaedia of Religious Knowledge has this to say of Pilate: an HEMCO// Bathroom Wherever You Live -- No matter where you live—town, village or country—an EMCO Bathroom can be installed in your home.

If it had not been against his own interests he would have released Jesus. He spoke kindly to Him and strove to release Him," Hearing that Jesus was from Gali- lee, Pilate thought to shift the re- sponsibility to Herod. These two were at enmity but a common interest —an interest in one who was to them a rare type of mankind --brought them together. Jesus was again subjected to vehement accusation and was mock- ed by the ruling power who then sent, him again to Pilate. Thus forced to assume the responsibility of judging and pronouncing sentence he deliver- ed Jesus to be crucified. Two incidents are noticed in the going out of the procession to the place of execution. Simon, a Cyren- ian, left his home in the country early that morning to go into the city, little dreaming that his name would go down in history associated with that of Jesus of Nazareth. Be- ing physically weakened by the ex- periences of the past night, Jesus fell beneath the weight of His cross and this stranger passing at that moment was seized and pressed into carrying it forward. Amongst the great com- pany of people there were many wo- men weeping for Jesus. He, ever alert to the voice of sorrow, turned' and spoke to them but not about his pitiable plight but about the oncom- ing catastrophe in which they would suffer with the destruction of Jerusa- lem. Jesus was not the only one upon a cross that day. Two others, one on either side, were there but paying the price of their own sins. One of these joined with the soldiers and the rulers of the nation in mocking and deriding Jesus. It was not enough that these rulers had gained the victory, for was not the defeated Jesus about to die? But there was one who saw with a new light—the light that ever since has shone from the cross of Christ. Hie rebuked his brother thief and ap- peale, l to Jesus to remember him when he should come into his king- dom. What was the answer to this short, comprehensive prayer? How prompt, how immediate, was the Sav- iour's reply to the cry of the peni- tent!! No sooner is the prayer offer- ed than it is answered. While he is yet speaking, the 'Redeemer hears. "To -day shalt thou be with Me in paradise." The day passed; the sunlight with- drew and for three hours darkness prevailed; all nature was in sympathy with the suffering Saviour. Dr. Bur- ton says of this scene, "And now there comes the hush of a great silence and the awe of a strange darkness, From the sixth to the ninth hour, aver the cross, and the city, and the land, hung the shadow of an untimely night when the "sun's light failed;" while in the Temple was another portent the veil, which was suspended between the Holy Place and the Most Holy, being rent in the midst! The myster- ious darkness was but the pall for a mysterious death, for Jesus cried with a loud voice into the gloom, "Father into Thy hands I commend my spir- it," and then, as it reads in language which is not applied to' mortal man, "He gave up the ghost," He dismiss- ed His spirit, a perfectly voluntary sacrifice, laying down the life which no man was able to take from Him." WORLD MISSIONS In the annals of the Christian Church one •of the most devout and noble missionaries was Henry Martyn. He was educated at Cambridge. Here he developed a remarkable talent for mathematics and graduated with dis- tinction. With regard to this he wrote, "I obtained my highest wishes but was surprised to find that I had grasped a shadow." In 1802 Mr. Martyn formed the resolution of de- voting his life to missionary labors. To this state of mind he had been brought, in part, by the perusal of the biography and diary of David Brainerd, with whose life his own had - much in common. Mr. Martyn offer- ed himself to the Society for Missions to Africa and the East but in the end went to India as a chaplain of the East India Company. The words of his dairy written as the vessel was passing out of sight of Europe, indi- cate well the measure •of his conse- cration: "We are just to the- south of all Europe; and I bid adieu to it forever, without a wish of ever re- visiting it, and still less with a desire of taking up my rest in a strange land to which I am going. Ah, no; farewell perishing world! To me to live shall be Christ." Mr. Martyn's work in India was ac- complished at the military stationh' of Sinapore and Cawnpore, and with- in the space of less than four years and a half. In addition to his labors among the soldiers and English resi- dents, he preached to the natives and prepared translations. Endowed with rare linguistic talents, and fully con- secrated to his work, he speedily be- came fluent in the Hindostance and his preaching was so attractive, that, at the time his failing health obliged him to quit Cawnpore, he had as high as eight hundred in his audiences. Having made a Persian version of the New Testament he conceived the idea of making a personal presentation of a copy to the Persian King. This ex- ertion cost him his life but the book reached its destination by the hand of the British Consul at Tebriz. He died amongst strangers and was buried in an Armenian cemetery. His early death at thirty-one deprived India of one of her most zealous benefactors, and England of one of whom she has no reasonto refuse a place among her many great dead. Like his Mas- ter, his public life was short and his death at an early age; a sacrificial one. - SENTENCED TO DEATH ON A POLICE THEORY' Perhaps. some readers suspect that we are rather ingenious in thinking of excuses for writing about mur- ders, but in the present ease not rnuch.- excuse is required when the presiding Vf HAD TO KEEP FROM SCHOOL Now Well and Strong —Delft ,Praise Dr. Williams' Pink Pills (Tonic) Too Highly -Helpful in Spring "When my daughter was eleven years old," writes Mrs. James Renaud, RR. 1, Martin - town, Ontario, "she be- came nervous and weak.

Yet the prisoner was eoneicte and sentenced to be hanged. The Ne Statesman and Nation testifies to th "alarm and astonishment provoked i impai-tial citizens who attended th trial." It notes also that the Late Journal said concerning the Rous verdict that "there was so obvious doubt that he should have been ac quitted," and c+includes its article b declaring that the Court of Crimina Appeal has disappointed those whl welcomed its establishment becaus it has taken so narrow a view of it responsibilities that it refuses to re view the eviden. e of the trial with view to determining whether the ver diet was reasonably in accordant 'with the facts. In brief, it seems tha William Wallace, a respectable insur ante agent of Liverpool, is in extrere danger of, hanging by the neck unti he is dead, although the chances tha he is innocent appear to be greate than the chances that he is guilty. Wallace, a middle-aged man, wa convicted of the murder of his wif on January 20th. The facts upon which there is no disagreement ar that Wallace and his wife live apparently „in the utmost harmony eversince 'their marriage, and tha if there was any motive for his kill ing her it was known only to him self. Wallace, described as a tall thin -featured, bespectacled man with long, white hair and grey moustache was an enthusiastic chess player and on the evening before; the crime was playing in a local tournament. Shortly before he arrived at the cafe where the club was accustomed to meet, a telephone message was re ceived asking that Mr. Wallace be re quested to call upon a Mr. Qualtrough in Menlove Gardens East the follow- ing evening. 'About the time that Mr. Wallace might have been expect- ed to be looking up Mr. Qualtrough his wife was murdered. The crime was discovered by Mr. Wallace him- self when he returned to his home about 8.40. He was seen to enter the house hut presently rushed out and summoned neighbors. It was not denied that Wallace had Ieft his home at 6.45. His wife was last seen alive at 6.30 by a milk boy, who at first gave the time as be- tween 6.30 and 6.45. If Wallace com- mitted the crime he had not more than 15 minutes at the outside in which to accomplish it and remove all traces. The woman had been brutally beaten to death, and the weapon might have been a poker which was said to have disappeared from the Wallace house the day af- ter the crime. The woman had been struck again and again, the murderer continuing to shower blows upon her after she was dead. Lying beside the body and pressed against it was Wallace's mackintosh, folded up, covered with blood and showing signs of having been partly burnt. What to make of these strange pieces, for they were all, with the exception of a clot of blood upstairs presumed to have come from Mrs. Wallace, that the police had upon which to erect their case? How they first came upon the theory that Wallace murdered his wife we are unaware, but as a vet- eran reader of detective stories it seems to us clear enough that they gat the theory first and assembled the facts later. They contended that the murderer had been naked except for the macin- tosh. Thus he would avoid any blood - Is Your Child's Weight Correct!

They Also presumed that the most likely .man to 'be naked in the Wallace home would be the master thereof. The burns" on the macintosh simply meant that the murderer had tried to destroy it. The telephone call the police seemed to think was the most suspicious of all the circum- stances and probably it was the first thing that led them to Wallace. An investigation showed that there was no such street as Meniove Gardens East in Liverpool, and nobody known as Qualtrough„ A police eonstalble testified to have met Wallace on the night in question apparently trying to find this non-existent place. The police said that it was Wallace who had telephoned the message to the club in order to provide himself with an alibi. Nothing which• we can identify as evidence was offered on this point, although the call was traced to a tele- phone about 409 yards from the Wal- lace home. But the member of the club who received the message and knew Wallace well never suspected it was he who spoke to him. Of course if the police theory is right, the voice would be disguised. The contention of the defence is that Wallace was lured from his home by the mysterious 'Qualtrough so that it might be more easily robbed. It was known that on the Tuesday of each week Wallace was likely to have between £30 and £100 on the premises. It would seem that the mysterious telephone call was at least as consistent with the guilt of some unknown burglar as with Wallace's. If Wallace's story is true, • what could be more natural than that Mrs. Wallace would admit a man representing himself as Qual- trough? The fact that no Qualtrough has been discovered tells no more against Wallace than in his favor. MOTHER FINDS OUT "There are so many places one can go!" sighed Joan, as the family held its annual vacation argument. "If one only knew more about them!" "I wonder," suggested Mother, "if it wouldn't be a good plan to telephone some of them? Mrs. Smith always does!" The up- shot of it was Mother did telephone, and the family decided on a place in no time. They Do Us More Good Than Any Other Medicine SAYS TORONTO MAN OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS Mr. McMullin Always Keeps a Box in the House. Toronto, Ont., May 31.—(Special) —What most people want these days is a medicine that they can turn to with perfect confidence in time of need. Mr. McMullin, 341 McRoberts Avenue, Toronto, has found such a remedy--Dodd's Kidney Kidney Pills. He writes:— "We are never without Dodd's Kid- ney Pills in the house. Whenever we feel out of sorts we take, them and find they do us more good than any other medicine. We have used them for six years." Your health, strength and vitality depend upon the condition of your blood, for it is through the blood that every part of the body is nourished and built up. To enjoy good health the blood must be kept pure. Dodd's Kidney Pills are an excellent blood purifier. They do not affect the Liver or Stomach, they are just an effective Kidney medicine. THE KNEES OF A DEMI-GOD The legs of George Herman Ruth represent a potential capital of some $300,000. And so, naturally, the Babe looks at them with interest, and even concern. Once upon a time these were half million dollar legs, but at 37 it's obvious that a baseball player can't go on forever. The question is: How long? And the answer lies, in the case of Ruth, somewhere be- tween his arches and his knees. It is hard to conceive of a day in which the eminent slugger could not lay hold of a •ball and drive it to the far reaches of any field; but the Babe has to chase drives as well as bit them, Keeping in trim has come to be an all -year job as far as he is con- cerned. Ruth doesn't like to dwell much on the dead days ot° his youth, when he might spree his way.right to the doors of the park, In fact, he is inclined now to pooh-pooh many of the legends which have been built around hien. He was distinctly annoyed when I men- tioned an old yarn of his having eat- en two dozen frankfurters just before a doubleheader. "I don't know where people get this stuff about my being a big eater," said the Babe. "Maybe I don't diet in a strict sense, but all I eat is two meals a day. That's not so much." Ruth takes baseball hard and cer- tainly fights to win. A close game can probably get him as excited as an undergraduate. When the mood is on him he will give any ball hit into his territory what the professionals call "the old college try." I saw him once charge straight into a field box, do a somersault over the low wall, and reappear to throw a man out at third. But it stands to reason that in the course of 154 league games; not to mention dozens and dozens of exhibitions, Ruth must get a little bor- ed and weary of the grind. At any rate, baseball is not the Babe's favorite sport. He is the country's most enthusiastic golfer, and his eagerness for this pastime is whetted by the fact that during a Iong baseball season golf is denied him. On .the links as on the diamond, Ruth is a terrific slugger. Very few of the professionals are as consistent- ly long from the tree. Anything less than 300 yards is a misadventure fot Ruth'. But his wallop may go foul in golf as well as in 'baseball. But for his wildness he might class among the truly great, for in addition to every- thing else he happens to be a superb putter. The rule against golf during a sea- son is based on the notion that 18( TTA N outgrowth of the McLaughlin Carriage Aft Company, General Motors of Canada, Limited, traces its . history to 1869, sixty-two years ago.

GENERAL GM20-15' TUNE IN—"CANADA ON PARADE"—EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT GENERAL MOTORS :..CARS HAVE OUTSTANDING VALUE holes take too much out of a man wh going to play a double-header i the afternoon. Ruth, for instance finds that he needs no additional ex- ercise after the big league race has started. 1 asked him how much weight he would be apt to lose on a hot afternoon while performing in the outfield and he said that generally he would drop around eight pounds "I lost 12 once when I was pitching,' he added. "But, of course, that's more work." The Babe's- batting prowess has somehow obscured his other talents in baseball. In spite of his size, and at 225 or thereabouts he is in his best playing condition, be covers a great deal of ground. Ruth is a true ball hawk. Moreover, I've never seen a finer thrower. He can speed a bail into the plate from deep right field and have it go almost on a line all the way. As a pitcher, Ruth still holds the record for consecutive scoreless innings in the World Series. He is a man of curious build, His arms are short, and his underpinning also seems inadequate for his gigantic torso. But he has stood up under tho strain for an amazingly long time. At 37 the average ball player, is really in the sere and yellow. And the Babe is still going along very little, if any, below his best. This happy result can undoubtedly be.traced o the enormous amount of care and con- sideration he puts upon his legs. All his gymnasium work centers upon keeping himself supple below the waist. McGovern, his trainer, tells me that Ruth is not hard to train once you have learned the trick. "The way I do it," he explained, "is to make everything a game, a kind of competition. You can always get the Babe to work if you put it up to him that he's out to beat somebody. else, I couldn't get anything out of him with this," showing me two stationary bi- cycles that had been teamed together on the same indicator, "until I got the idea of making it a race. Now, when Ruth gets on me I have to get on the other, and, work just as hard as he does." 'Much of his between -season exer- cise, like handball in which he is a real expert, is designed to get him accustomed to quick movement of a spherical object. Also, he boxes a little and with considerable skill. And at one time he was an excellent wrest- ler. But this has been dropped from the quota of sports as too dangerous for a man who must not pull a mus- cle out of place under the risk of dis- aster. Swimming is also tabu be- cause it might tighen up a shoulder or throwing arm. Included in the repertoire of Ruth is lawn tennis as well, The Babe told me proudly that he had once played a set against Tilden. But I imagine that all he got from that was exer- cise. The career of Ruth in the long rul'1? must serve as a moral fable for clean iving and care. There's no question hat the great slugger was slipping ntil he decided to turn over, not just ne leaf, but a whole handful. And o -day the outer man, at least, is amed and docile. He speaks in terms f toxicity and abdominal exercise. ven the lesser vices have been rig- rously excluded. Thus, when I ask - d im, "Do you read much?" he re- lied, almost indignantly, "No, I don't ead." And he seldom attends"' mo - ion pictures, for here, too, he fears train upon the batting eye. We discussed the question of going tale, and whether it was advisable to cut down on batting practice at res of slump. Ruth doesn't think o. He uses the opposite method and experiments in his style of hitting en things are net going right. And e's inclined to ask some other play- er to watch hien 'and 'advise as to ho !see Ruth get hold of one. And as far n as huzzahs and plaudits go, he earns , them in two ways. If he knocks a home run there is a great shout of appreciation. And if he strikes) out, the roar is just as loud. As a mat- ter of fact, it is more exciting to see Ruth fan than to watch somebody else hit the ,ball over the fence. He takes, . in every case, a very sincere cut at ' the ball. No more colorful figure has ever been known in baseball. The glories of myth and legend surround him. And the end is not yet. Ruth likes to pre- sent himself as a reformed character, and it may be that this is for ever and ever. But I wouldn't be too sure.. I don't want to be too sure. I hate to think of the obstreperous Babe wholly in terms of his present status as George Herman Ruth, Ltd., a prefer- red stock and a regular dividend pay- er. In spite of the increase in wealth, health and wisdom there still lurks in the giant frame of Babe Ruth some- thing of the old half -mad and half - inspired energy of athletic genius. If he is not very accurately described as the D'Artagnan of the diamond, he can at least qualify as another of the famous musketeers.
