But can he stand the test which the other disciples have stood? He is rich, and they we» poor. Can he leave his possessions for Jesus' sake, as they had left theirs? This is the question. I. how one candidate for kingdom honors failed to stand christ's TEST717-22. V. 17. The man comes of himself with eager interest and with every sign of deep respect. He goes on his knees to Jesus, and asks, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit the life of the kingdom?" Eternal life means properly, "the life of the coming age, the blessed life of the V. IS- There was something in the words, "Good Master," or in the tone with which they were uttered, that seemed to Jesus to be in need of correction. The man had used the word "good" in a light and even unthinking fashion. Did he realize the true meaning, of the thing he said? Jesus at self and everything else to God. God alone is the good, the one source of all goodness. V. 19. Having thus prepared his questioner to face the situation in a really serious frame of mind, Jesus answers the question by referring first to the requirements of the Decalogue, particularly the laws of the Second Table, governing our duties to out fellow men. The promise the-law is that those who observe commandments will "live." So that the law itself provisionally satisfies the petitioner's requirement, "What must I do to inherit the life of the kingdom?" Vs. 20, 21- The answer of the mar is that he has kept these commandments from his youth. It is an indication of his sincerity and ingenuousness of motive that at this moment Jesus set his choice upon the man one of the inner circle of his discipk.. When we read that "Beholding him he loved him," we are to think of love' election. The aspirant had indicated that he still felt that something was lacking to his happiness and peace of mind. Jesus now meets this need by asking him forthwith to become a disciple, and to throw ill hi lot with himself. But in order to d this, he must--like the other disciple --renounce all that he possesses. Can he do it? He is rich. He will ask what he is to do with his. property. Jesus' answer is clear. He must divest himself of his possessions- Let him put them in trust for the poor. Tr-s, giving up earthly treasure, he will have treasure in heaven. Can the man do it? There is no possibility of his throwing in his lot with Jesus unlets he does it. Is he willing, then, to "deny himself," and "take up his cress," and "follow" Jesus on the path to martyrdom? V. 22. The candidate for the life of the kingdom is appalled by these conditions, and turns disappointed away. II. warnings and lessons regarding the perils of riches, 23-27. V. 23. The turning away of so choice a spirit inspires Jesus to utter the sorrowful word: "With what difficulty shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"

"Cleanliness of shell effects the quality of the egg directly, that is, if the egg is clean it will hold up better in storage than a dirty or stained egg. Cleanliness effects the prices also. The Canadian Egg Standards require that Fresh Extras be clean and Fresh Firsts reasonably clean, so that if producers market dirty eggs they must be sold either as Seconds or in the class cf Cracked and Dirty Eggs. "If eggs are going to reach the market in good condition the first step must be taken by the farmer in proper care of handling.

The other worTi is of the portmantt Wright, it was declared by the prosecuting counsel, Francis Peregrine, had demanded "enough hush money to take him out of the country." "Miss A" was taken into the secret and advised "Mr. B" not to pay, that she herself would handle the blackmailer. She made an appointment with him which he failed to keep. Then he came to her house. She left him for a moment and telephoned the police. When, on her return, Wright demanded £100 for some lettters and a hotel bill, the police entered and arrested him. When the counsel for the defendant demanded that the plaintiff should be put on the stand and identified, the Recorder, Sir Ernest Wild, K.C., said that this could not be done, and he explained the agreement entered into by the London courts not to expose the prosecutors in blackmailing cases. He added: "Blackmail is the only class of crime where there is a concensus of judicial opinion that the names of ons blackmailed should- not be published. Otherwise such persons ight be afraid to bring an offender to justice. The result has been that imber of persons have lodged complaints who otherwise would never have dared to do so. The procedure, it is believed, will in time measurably reduce the practice of the crime." iety. It i Socially Impossible.
