If we read the accounts given in Luke 22, 31-36, and John 13: 38,] slong with this passage, we find tpt the words are given in a slightly if- £ wuld take © 'eause . woul "ferent order in each case. However, it would seem that Jesus spoke on differ- ent i of the d which awaited the disciples when the terrible event of the arrest and cr:cifixion Christ would be the of offence, in so much that they d 'also forsake him. V. 32, All the Gospels describe the denial of Peter, nor do they try to make any excuse fo: it. They describe Low he was admitted into the court- house and there denied his lord just Ls the cock crew. - But the Gosvel of John also tells of the restoration of Peter to the former position. There seems to be little dou* that the three ounestions of John 21: 15-17 refer to the three denials. while the same pass- age shows how the renentant apostle is restored to his office, "Feed my sheep." . II. THE GARDEN SCENE, 36-46. V. 36. We now approach one of the most imoressive scenes in the life »f our Lord. where he vassed through a most. severe temptation. and seems to struggle against 'he thought of his impending death. Gethsemane was a garden which shad received its name from an oil press which was there. The tradition- al site is a little on the other side of Mount of Olives. It was a com- mon neeting place for the disciples of Jesus. Now it is enclosed by a wall and is the resort of many pilgrims from all narts of the world. V. 3% He selects the three disciples who were nearest to him to be his companions... He had taken them at other times, Matt. 17: 1; Mark 5: 37. A feeling of weakness and loneliness comes over Jesus, in such striking con- "trast to the fid of the discipl The meaning of his sacrifice and the nature of the strugglé through which he is to pass now take firm possession of him, and he is appalled as he draws nearer and nearer to dread moment.

There is the natural shrink- ing from the agony and fate that wait for him. We also note that in the hour 'of utter loneliness he asks for the companionship of his disciples. Heé who was the Saviour of the world,' the son of God, is anxious to get help: from his friends in his trial. He needs the assistance of human sympathy. V. 89. A second wave of sorrow and anguish passes over him. He falls on the ground and prays. The darkness increases so that he reels he can scarcely endure this. He asks that the Sup may pass. The cup was the symbol of his destiny: and the figure 3s axed by Jesus before. See Matt. 0: 22, V. 40. He returns to the disciples | and bow tie of eggshell crepe is smart | to find that they have not been able to * endure this spiritual strain. They have fallen asleep. There is no bitterness in the words which ke addresses to them, but there is a gentle warning to remind them how frail human nature is, and how much need there is of con= stant watchfulness, "Watch and pray." V. 42, A second time he returns to pray to his Father that he may receive strength for this ordeal, but this time the battle has lost some of its violence.

There are so many of 4 that it is difficult to choose a subject for consideration. They are important§! but the actual Course of Study in the Public Schools is always before us, and is always dnder discussion. Many persons complain that the pupils are overloaded with subjects; that in "the good old days" there were fewer subjects taught. The facts do not verify this contention. Nt Rural Education in Ontario will be used to check against the re- sults produced in the portable detect- or.

The concluding meeting of the soclety was presided over by Dr. A. S. Eve, who has just complet- ed his term of presidency. Sir An- drew Macphail tendered the speaker a formal vote of thanks. Despite Canada's youth and preoc- cupation with material development there is already a marked interest in art, It is surprising to learn, Hon. Mr. Massey sald, of the scores of ex- hibitions of pictures now held any) nually throughout the Dominion, or to hear that nine or ten cities are planning the erection of art galleries or mygeums.

The agreement stressed the value of the stations in time of war, assuring the League secretariat direct com- munications with all members of the League. z The agreement was the result of a decision of the League Assembly last year.

Two small boys were fishing off the lake shore. The gull spied their bait and swallowed it, hook and all. The boys dragged in the bird, but could not remove the hook from his throat. Anton Koenig, employe of St. Mary's Hospital, was passing. He carried the gull to the hospital where Dr. Paul S. Epperson and Dr. Willlam Studley performed the strangest operation in the history of the institu- tion. They gave the gull an anae- stheti& removed thé Hook, and sewed up the incision. The gull. spon regained conscious- ness, wobbled about drunkenly for a while, marched toward a window, and filew out over the lake.

New Altitude Mark By American Seaplane New York.--A new American alti-| tude record for seaplanes was made on May 9 by Capt.

A sealed barograph of the National Aeronautic Association carrie in the seaplane has been sent to Washington for calibra- tion. When that is completed the re cord will be officially established.

The 1930 Course of Study Reading, Spelling, Literature, Gram- mar, Composition, Writing, Arith- metic, Geography, History, Hygiene, Physical Culture, Art, Nature Study, Manners and Morals, Bookkeéping, Manual Training, Household Science, Agriculiure, and Horticulture, The 1878 Course has 26 subjects, and the 1930 course 22. In 1878 the were scarce, and the need for a broad Course of Study in the Public School was apparent. Transportation was difficult, and if the pupil did not learn a subject in the home school, the chances were that he would not learn it at any other school. Now conditions are changed, and there are High Schools available in nearly all the settled districts of Ontario, at a reasonable driving dis- tance, and the roads are greatly im- proved, z In the early days Agriculture, Man- nal Training and Household Science were taught at home, Farming was a comparatively simple matter, with weeds and pests, ind a land was not run out, land that was summo~f fallowed. The women in the home (there were nearly always a number of grown girls mother) did most of the work of feed- ing and clothing the family. There weie no "canned 'goods" and ready- made clothing was looked upon as a luxury, To-day. all this modern idea of education is to study such subjects as will enable us to meet the demands of a machine-made world--frequently Just that and no Yet in Agriculture our people fewer that beside the is changed Our more, | are being compelled by the very pres- sure of weeds and pests to study move about farming than was necessary in the old days. Our greatest trouble in education is that we have no abundance of learn- ing. We study to pass examinations, and when we have passed the examin ation, we heave a sigh of relief, and likely heave the text book into a cor- ner, promptly forget it and the sub- ject, and go on to study another sub- ject on which an examination is be- ing set. What is needed is that both teachers and scholarg shall read more widely; that they shall "become fa- millar with local history and condi- | tions; civic affairs and current af- fairs, A school is for learning, and for ining the spirit that loves to learn. Successful teachers are always inveni- ing ways to open up new fields of study for the pupil, and inspiring that eagerness to learn that makes an ad- ditional subject a pleasure instead of a hardship. Music, Physical Culture, Manual Jraining, provide new avenues of expression, and develop new powers | in the pupil quite apart from the ac- tual study itself. The outlook s broader, the sympathies are greater, and the understanding of life as a whole fits the pupil for better work. Above all things the pupil should learn to read with pleasure and under- standing. A well stored mind is a mine of wealth and happiness. This is especially true in advancing years. The modern curriculum is not over- loaded. That is not the trouble. Our difficulty is that we are in a hurry. our examinations, like milestones in We must be getting on; we must pass the race of life. Our next discussion will consider the question--"Should Agriculture be taught in the Public Schools of On- tarlo?" a------------ An employer advertised for an odd- job man, "To be partly indoors and partly outdoors."

NRG | CERNE It is stated that as a result of'the disastrous fire at Columbus, Ohio, Penitentiary the U.S. authorities are speeding up the construction of more prisons in order to relive those who are at present badly overcrowded.
