The triumphal entry occurred on the western slope of Mount of Olives. On The Mount l(a). ''And when they draw night unto Jerusalem, unto Beth- phage and Bcthanj, at the Mount of Olives." Our Lord had rested In Bethany over the Sabbath day, and was now about to begin the last week of His life on earth, the days of which would be spent in -Jerusalem, the nights in Beth- any. l(b). "He sendeth two of nil disciples. 2. and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that it over against you: and straight- way ai ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him and bring him. 3. And if anyone say unto you, why do you this? say ye, The 'Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither." The Lord knew that a great prophecy was about to be fulfilled, and he knew that it was divinely ordered that he was to enter the city on this particular day on a new colt upon which no man had ever ridden. 'The Lord hath need of him' is in the auto- cratic tone of one who has abso- lute power over us and ours. He dona not expect us to say one contrary word when He sends and aays, 'I have need of you, or of yours.' Jesus It Trusted 4. "And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door with- out in the open street; and they loose him. 5. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, what do ye, loosing the colt? 6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go." According to Luke, these people whom the iiis- ciplei found nearby were the owners. That they were satisfied with the answer 'The Lord hath need of him' need cause no sur- prise; the Master was well known in the neighborhood. The promise to return the animal at once could be trusted; and the owners might well be proud that it should b used by the Prophet. Symbol of Joy 7. "And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and ha sat upon him. 8. And many spread their gar- ments upon the way; and other* branches, which they had cut from the fields." The carrying of palm leaves by the people in honor of the Messiah was in ac- cordance with the custom observed at feasts and great occasions. The palms symbolize His triumph and the people's joy. Hoianna 9. "And they that went be- fore, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 10. Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest." The word 'Hosanna' was really a prayer meaning 'save now.' Prob- ably here it is the prayer of the people that the expected salvation may be accomplished now. The phrase 'the coining kingdom represents it as already on the way. It is represented as the kingdom of David, because the promise of it was made to him as a man of God's own word (2 Samuel: 7,. 41. "And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it." Jesus was full of grief as he des- cended the Mount of Olives and aw stretched beneath his feet the city so near its destruction, ~ and yet so unconscious of its doom and He wept. 42. "Sayinjr, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine encmiei ihall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side. 41. and ihall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they ihall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou know- st not the time of thy visitation." 'In this thy day.' Jerusalem had i day. Every community and very person has a day a day of mercy. If in that day the lost ihall turn, they will get life in the Lord. But if they allvw their day to pass, there remainclh only darkness. Looking down on Jeru- Mlem the ground of our Lord's grief was, not that they had tinned, and so brought on them- elves condemnation. In that there was nothing peculiar to Jerusalem. Here they were in the tame state as all the world. The Redeemer would not weep be- TIME OUT FOR A CUP OF TEA A camp fire and tea from a big Y.M.C.A.

"And he entered into Jeru- salem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve." Xo particular ac- tivity occurred in the city of Jerusalem on this day. It seema it was merely a time of inspection and at eventide our Lord went back to Bethany. Germans Seizing French Radium A British radio broadcast as- serted that the Germans were confiscating radium in French hospitals. It said that the Germans had taken half of the largest radium stock in France, at the Curie Institute, which was being used to fight cancer, and that at the result the Institute't ctivity had been crippled. Ship's Biscuits British seamen compelled to take to their boats no longer have to dig their teeth into the iron- clad ship's biscuits of tradition. Instead they are given dainty little wheatmeal biscuits, about two inches square and one-quar- ter inch thick. Packed in rust-proof water- tight containers, 48 to a pound tin, there is enough in each boat to supply every person with 14 oz. Together with pemmican (a concentrated mixture of beef ex- tract), malted milk tablets and chocolate, the shipwrecked sailor is now provided with "minimum" rations which are not only more varied and tasty than the old bis- cuits and condensed milk, but have a much higher food value. What is even more important, the space saved can be used for carrying water, the ration of which is now three times as great as it was. The Panama Canal was opened for navigation in August, 1914.

Soybean Acreage To Be Increased Canada to Have Thirty Thousand Acres This Year Doubling of the area planted to soybeans, to bring it to a total of nearly 30,000 acres and help meet vegetable oil and feed re- quirements, is hoped for in 1942, Agriculture Department officials said recently. To encourage enlarged soybean production, the government hat authorized the Canadian Wheat Board to buy soybeans at $1.96 a bushel, basis Toronto. In part years, the price has ranged from 56c to $1 a bushel. Officials said the increased pro- duction is urgently needed to compensate for losses in normally imported vegetable oil tuppliet because of war in the Far East Canada and the United State* have entered into a joint program of increasing such vegetable- oil production at it possible, although the major part of the Canadian program will be the growing of coarse graint to facilitate an en- larged output of animal fats. Soybean teed tuppliet are none too plentiful in Canada and of- ficials said this might prove a limiting factor on the acreage. "Although Canadian toybean production is small compared to that of the United States, it it notable that Ontario growers have won the top soybean award* at the Chicago International Grain Show for several yeart," on spokesman said. All Over Ontario "Soybean! have been grown all over Ontario, as far east as Ot- tawa, and in Southern Quebec. There has been some production in irrigated areaa in Alberta and in British Columbia." Officials taid that farmera pro- posing to switch to soybean pro- duction in suitable areas should be abie to use their existing equipment in handling the new crop. Soybeant, imported from Man- churia, were first grown in Can- ada at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph in 1895. Can The Japanese Conquer Australia Christian Science Monitor Shows Where the Difficulty Lies Will Australia become for Ja- an what Russia threatens to be for Hitler? Japan, after four years of un- profitable campaigning in China, belatedly took a leaf from Hit- ler's book, started in on her small neighbors, and even more swiftly imitated his list of conquests. Today, like Hitler, with all small neighbors under the heel, she ii forced again to attempt the con- quest of another huge country, this lime an entire continent. What will be her fate here? The Soviets had three import- ant factors working on their side v*t space*, vatt manpower, and a rigoroui climate with on* gnat disadvantage, the eate witfc which their country would b penetrated by Hitler't panxera. Australia*! chief disadvantage lie* im her comparative lack of man- power. Her advantages consist of natural barrier! to invasion. Then*, added to the troops, plane* hipt and supplies from United States and the indomitable will of her own pioneer people, may well make that continent as uncon- querable at China and Russia. Australia, nearly aa large a* the United States, is two-fifth* desert, while much of the remain- der is composed of high plateaua and mountains. Fertile landa, in- dustries and inhabitants are princ- ipally in the southeast New South Wales and Victoria with a broad fertile belt stretching from Cairns in Queensland south to Melbourne. This is separated from the coast by mountains, and the coast in the northeast it pro- tected by the Great Barrier Reef whose only openings ar mined. The coastline of Australia it 12,210 miles long, yet it hat only a few good harbort, mostly on the southeast Much of the coaat U protected by towering chfft and thu* could be invaded suc- cessfully perhapt only by para- troop* alwayt a desperate ven- ture. Japan's success thus far ha* reuired land, sea, and air force* together, a combination which could succeed in only a few places in Australia. The south- eastern shoreline i* readily ap- proachable but this region is two thousand miles farther from Jap- anese bases, and the sea route in Allied hands. A landing in the north at Port Darwin would be difficult with its strong defence*, and would provide a poor mean* of reaching the richer sections of the continent. Another vitally impoitunt fac- tor is that tlie Japanese have not had the opportuntiies to make blueprints of this island continent that have been theirs in tiie -smal- ler islands of the i-'aciiic, includ- ing Hawaii and Singapore. Ja- pan'a fishing boats have been ex- cluded from Austral. a's waters. There can be little doubt that much of Japan's success thus far ha* been dependent upon intimate knowledge of the terrain. More- over, as Hitler found to be the casa in Russia, there are no fifth columnists in Australia. RADIO REPORTER DIALING WITH DAVE: THE HAPPY GANG! Hi! Gang!
