LESSON Vill SERVING THROUGH CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP Mar' 12:13-15, 28-34 Golden Text,--Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, Mark 12:31. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--Tuesday 'of Passion Week, April 4, A.D. 30. ° Place.-----Jerusalem. 13. And they send .unto certain. of the. Pharisees and of the Her.lians, that they might catch him in talk. Be- hind this malicious purpose of these supposedly honorable men was a hat. red of the Lord Jesus Christ, which had already prejudiced his case, and had closed the minds of these men to the truthfulness of his teaching and the reality of his Messiahship, These . emissarles were chosen, because they occupled' different sides of the ques- tion-propo--d to. Jesus. On the ques- tion of the paying of tribute, with all the corollaries, they would be divided, and Jesus mus: offend one or the other bv his apswer.

For thou regardest not the person of men, That {8 a person's outward appearance or position. But of a truth teachest the way of God. The. preamb'- is skillfully arranged with the viow of disarming suspicion, and at the same time preventing es- cape. They . er- luring Jesus to work his own destruction by means of an unguarded statement he might make, Is it law 1 to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 1%. Shall we give or shall we not give? The great rebel lion ngainst Rome, headed by Judas of Galilee (Acts 5:37), had for its war- cry, "It is r-¢ lawful to pay tribrte to Caesar." Jewish patriots denounc- ed the payment of tribute. If Christ said "Yes," his accusers would de- nounce him to the people as an op- pressor. If "io," they could accuse him to the Romans as a rebel. But he, knowing their hypocrisy. The word "hypocri. " meaus, literally, "acting," Said unto them, Why make so trial of me? bring me a denarius, t' at I may see it. The denarius is the name of the most simple Roman coin which circulated thro igh the empire. and in terms of which all public ac- ccunls were made up. A denarius was, In the time of our Lord, the daily wage cof a laborer 'Matt. 20:2ff.). 16. And they brought it, A-" he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? The image. of course, was the head of Caesar stamp- ¢1 on the coin, while the supersecrip- tion consisted of the Latin words sur- rounding the image on the edge of the coin. And they said unto him, Caesar's. All Roman emperors were. called. Cacsar. The 'ining empercr was Tiberius, Christ's answer was pe- culiarly complete. 'The Pharisees had a maxim, "He whose coin is current i1 king of t:é and." The Taings That Are Caesar's 17, And Jesus said unto them, Ren. der unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that --are._@God's. When Jesus replied to their question, he made it a matter of payment, saying, if one would inter- pret 'strictly, "Pay to the Roman gov- ernment Roman coin." They them. selves were tacitly 'recognizing the government and availing themselves of their privileges under it by using its coin, and that left them no pretext for denying its rights. Jesus went fa: b~yond what the Pharisees and Herodlans ever expected in answering this question. One's entire duty of life is not defined by his relationship to government, "The things of God" are all that our relationship to him in- volves, contrition, faith, love, worship, obedience, "ae And if most of all he demands the love, the heart of man, here also he can ask, "Whose image and.superscrip- tion is this?" For in the image of God made he man, And they marvelled greatly at him. = They wondered, per- haps, not so much at the profound truth of the words, which they could scarcely have realized, as at the ab- sence in them of anything on which they could lay hold. 5 Two Greatest Commandments 28. And one of the scribes came, and gent them questioning together, and nowing that he had answered them well, asked him. The scribe fully re- cognized the supreme qualities of Je- sus' teaching and the remarkable fin. ality of his answer to the preceding question that had been asked. What commandment is the first of all, To understand the question'and the ans- I we must recall that the rabbis counted no less than 613 command: ments, 248 positive, ;365 negative. Bome magnified the commandments about the sacrifices, others the Sab- A--C teaching of the First and Second Com- mandments, This sentence absolutely prohibits the recognition of any gods but the one true God, and the worship of any being other than God himself. 80. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God. This is a quotation from Deut, 6:5, and, as Rabbi Hertz has sald: "This is the first instance in human history that the love of God was de- bath laws, others the law and regu: lations about circumcision, 29. Jesus answered, The first Is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God, the Lord' is one. This verse sums up the manded in any religion. 'The love of God is the distinctive mark of his true worshippers. Love of God must be the outcome of knowledge of God." With all thy heart, and with all thy goul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, The first phrase means that there is to be no part of our heart which does not love God. In the psychology of the ancient Hebrews the "soul" was the organ of the de- sires and affections. The "mind" here 'would seem to refer to the faculty of thought itself. When we are told to love the Lord with all of our strength, it means that we are to yleld to him all the force and power which resides in our being, especially in our bodies. The keeplng of all laws should be mo- tived by love; if it is not, then the moral value of obedience is lost. Every sin is a violation of the law of love, and every grace and virtue {s an ex- pression of love in one or other of its many-aspects, -- ------------ - ss 81.. The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than the:.. The scribe; did not ask for the second commandment, but the statement is incomplete without ft. This second commandment does not stand in the Old Testament in the commanding position of the first, but is brought.in only incidentally, in Lev. 19:18, where, moreover, 'neighbour" fs-evidently restricted to a brother Jew. Jesus puts it in a commanding position and widens the meaning of 'neighbour' to "fellow men." 32. And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he. 33. And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding, and with all the 'strength. and to love his neighbour as himself. is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. The scribe's answer is made of quotations from the prophets which exalt the moral over the ceremonial law (Ps. 51:16; Hos. 6:6; Mic. 6:6-8). His words seem to imply that some of the scribes were beginning to understand not merely our Lord's teaching about the spiritual meaning of the law, but also that there was a distinct sympa- thy between the idea of Jesus and those of the greater prophets. He seems almost the first-fruits of those of the sect of the Pharisees who after- ward believed. 34. And when Jesus saw that he ans- wered discreetly, he sald unto him, Thou art'not far from the kingdom of God. The scribe was near the Kingdom beciuse he was deeply stirred by the answer. There is more than intellec- tual assent here. There is the stir- ring of a man's nature to its depths. And no man after that durst ask him any question. There are whole classes and levels of questioning which disap- pear or are chased away as clouds are chased awa the moment you bring Jesus Christ upon the scene. And this because of his goodness, be- cause of his moral greatness, because of the quality of him.- ey TORONTO.--A. S.

Pepin, St. Geor Godfrey Hewitt, F.R.C.O., Officer Warns Paralysis Increasing In Ontario Dr. J. T. Phair, Chief Medical Of- ficer for Ontario, Suggests' Re- lationship of Disease to Sum- mer Flu in Report to Medical Association--Number of cases Up Even in Non-Epidemic Years Dr. J. T. Phair, chief medical of- ticer for Ontario, warned the Ontario Medical Association at Toronto last week, of a steady increase in infantile paralysis in the province during non: epldemic as well as epidemic years. Dr. Phair, mobilizing medical forces for an expected outbreak this summer of the disease, said "it {8 not possibje to predict with certainty a season of increased incidence." : His suggestion of a possible rela- tionship between {infantile paralysis and the seasonal complaint affecting children, called "summer flu" was a highlight of his report; one of a sym- posium presented by five Toronto doc- tors on infantile paralysis, correctly known as poliomyelitis. Identical Groups Attacked The age group attacked by the two diseases were in the main the same; the time of onset of the diseases in terms of seasonal distribution was al- most identical; the districts of the city in which the bulk of paralysis cages occurred were the same as for summer flu, Many Ontario doctors believa as a 1esult of their clinical experiences of last year the convalescent gerum, de- rived from a person who suffered an attack of the disease, has unquestion- ed merit as a treatment, Dr," Phair sald, but added logical arguments have been advanced in rebuttal. Believe Entry Through Nose Attempts-to-produce--an- immune horse serum, while successful in ex- perimental animals, has not been es- tablished as a useful agent in humans he noted. While there is a difference o? opinion on the r rtal of entry, most doctors favor the theory the germs in. vade the body through the nasal mu- cosa, although some evidence would fndicate the theory of a gastro-intes- tinal invasion. a "It 18 not possible to predict a sea- son of increased incidence of this dis. ease," Dr. Phair sald. "The inference based on previous epidemics that. out- breaks in Canada begin in the west and travel east was exploded last year when epidemics occurred in Saskatch- ewan, Ontario and the Maritimes." Certain Areas More Prone "In Ontario last summer there were 2,660 cases with 2,644 reported which gives a ratio of about 80 to 100,000 people. No satisfactory explanation of its marked seasonal character has as yet been offered, The theory ad- vanced by Dr. H., B. Anderson of To- | ronto {8 of more than academic in- terest.

Causes Buzzing The end has come for theiroman- tic, adventurous days of gold-pros- pecting. It's good-bye to weather- beaten oldtimers and their horses. 'Science has sounded their death- knell. Nowadays, the prospector goes forth by car and finds gold by radio. A portable one-man wireless ap- paratus has been devised which can locate gold deposits within 2b feet of the earth's surface. This equip- ment is already being used by some 1,2000 institutions and individuals throughout America. Hears 25 Feet Down The prospector fits on earphones, attached to the apparatus, and walks over a spot he judges may provide an ore pocket. The presence of such a pocket is indicated by a loud buzz- ing note in the earphones, which is also recorded on a meter. An operator of one of these "elec- tric prospectors" has unearthed $1,- 000 in gold and silver coins buried in an old jug, and in Southern Ari- zona another prospector found the site of an old, buried smelter which yielded more gold and silver bullion than "a horse could carry. Expect The Best Crop Since 1933 Forecast Western Yield 70 to 80 .n..Per..Cent, of Normal So far as Canada is concerned, prospects are improving almost daily this spring. for better crops and therefore for more money and more ton Jeffers, financial editor of the Toronto Globe and Mail. One auth- ority, whose sources of information and whose opinion has proved inval- uable in past years, stated that in his opinion the conditions in Western Canada justify expectation of the best crops since 1933, and that he considers it would be good betting odds to say that the Western crop this year will at the minimum be 75 to 80 per cent. of normal. Yet Allows For Deficiencies This opinion makes allowance for rather low crops in the very large section embraced in Central and Southwestern Saskatchewan and Southeastern Alberta, which are still deficient in moisture and which could not be expected to-.stand up under any prolonged dry period in the growing season. Liven making their deduction, he thinks that the mini- mum expectation can be 756 per cent. of normal. "What do you mean by normal?" he was asked. "The general average for wheat for the Prairies is from 850 to 360 million bushels of wheat, 200 mil- lion bushels of oats, 70 to 75 mil- lion bushels of barley and 10 to 12 million bushels of flax and rye. "Canadians have lost in purchas- ing power an amount of $60,000,000 since last autumn, dde to external depressions and the consequent drop in demand for some of our products. business next fall, writes. Welling- |. If the West comes through with even 75 per cent. of normal crops we will more than overcome that loss. If Saskatchewan alone gets three-quar-| ters of an average crop, that alone should give somewlere around $76,- 000,000 more crop money than a year - "~ Dont's For Farm, Field and Barn Don't start the cows to grass be- fore there is grass to be eaten.

Handwriting Analyst) . A lady reader writes as follows: "Some time ago I met a man who had been very unhappily married. After Innumerable squabbles his wife left him, leaving a two-year old baby with her husband. After we had seen quite a lot of each other we realised tuat we were in love . ... We have been living together for over a year and the kiddie Is very fond of me. No-one could be happler than we have been. The wife has consistently refused to divorce her husband, and now she is pleading with him to go back to her. This he refuses to do although he makes her an ample allowance. . . Now, although I love him desperately, it I thought it was for his good and that of the child that they be reunited, I would not hesitate to give him up, much ag it would hurt me. Ds you think they could live happily togeth- er? Or would my sacrifice simply mean that the woman would complete the ruin of his {lfe that she started when they lived together previously?" The wife's writing shows her up as a selfish, inconsiderate and heartless woman, Her sole interest in life is herself. I do not b:lieve she has any love for her husband, nor for their cliild. Her desire to have her husband 'solution is money. back is inspired by selfishness as well as a "dog-la-the-manger" reluctance to see him happy with another woman. My correspondent's writing, on the other hand, shows clearly what a wealth of sympathy and love she has. No wonder that the man has fallen in love with her and that the kiddie Is so fond of her. My sympathies in this case are with the second woman. [ have little doubt that the man can use the matter of an allowance as a lever to gain perman- ent happiness. I know there are people who will say the husband's place is with his wife, no matter how Ill-suited they are. | cannot subscribe to it In this case because the wife felt no qualms about deserting her husband and the kiddie. } 0-- Have YOU any problems you'd like ty disclose to this writer?

Care of Eyes Is Imoportant In These ID. y's When The Straip of Modern Life - Is Hard on Them The' eyes are one of the first tell- tales of age. Long before there is a sign of a crow's foot line or even a faint suggestion of crepiness, the woman who wants to look her best skin around her eyes regular and cor- rect attention and the eyes them- selves the coddling they deserve. With gentle rotary motions, she massages rich night cream around her eyes every single hight. She pats cream into the area where crow's feet can be expected to appear in later years. on the beach, for golf, motoring and so on. She doesn't read in a bad light, She tries nave to squint. And if an eye doctor suys she ought to wear glasses, she wears them. Moderns realize that adequate sleep, plenty of outdoor exercise and lots of sunshine preserve the nat- urally youthful sparkle that young eyes have. health habits and really averages eight hours of sleep a night just isn't going to have dull, lustreless- looking eyes by the time she is forty. Then, too, eyes may not be the mirrors of the soul, as the poet said, but it is true that a happy, content- ed, rested person has more sparkle "1 her eyes than one who always is complaining and naking herself more unhappy than she actually has the right to be. Indians Were Here - 60 Centuries Ago At Clearville, on No. -3 highway near the eastern boundary of ent County, Ontarlo, there is a spot on which Indians once had a fort, and if the ground could be systematically ex- cavated, in the opinion of Rev. Hub- bard Millar, of Blenheim, it is likely there would be found stone articles which would prove that Indian tribes lived there 6,000 years ago, says the St. Thomas Times-Journal. "I had a number of children digging there, and one of them found a sample of pottery of both Iroquois and Algon- quin Indians" Rev. Mr. Millar stated. "There has been no official excavating done at that point. 1 think it is the most important place in the world for excavating for rellcs of the Indians who lived In this land. [| would like to see that spot preserved, and mark- él by the Historic Sites Board with a calrn." Rev. Mr. Millar some months ago, began collecting Indian arrow and spearheads, as well as Indian tools fashioned in flint, as-a nucleus to a museum at the Blenheim Public Lib- rary. Already he has more than one hundred pleces in a collection, all of which have been found within a ra- dius of fiv: miles of Blenheim. They bave been donated by various people who are Interested in the collection which has been started. "I think the smallest estimate we car make from tI» finding of certain things at Clearville, is that Indians liv- ed '"ere proba"v 6,000 years ago," Rav. Millar stated. "It is known that in 1660 the Indian fort at Clearville was destroyed by the Iroquois. In a very shallow deposit of earth there have been found :(rrow and spear. heads, and other tools peculiar to the Indian tribes, "My theory Is that if these relics "+ found in a few inches of the carte can earth's surfdce, those found several feet down, would suggest they were + vned by Indians who lived there many years ago." .
