And he cometh unto the dis- ciples, and findeth them sleeping and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me 'one hour? There is a tone of sad disappoint- ment here. 41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. "Watch" refers primarily to keeping awake, but also. suggests mental alertness, The flesh here means not simply the body as opposed to the mind, but the body as representing our sinfulness, while the spirit repre- sents what is better in us, 42, Again a second -time he went away, and prayed, saying,- My Father, if this cannot pass away, except 1 drink it, thy will be done. 43. And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were, heavy. 44, And he left them again, and went away, and pray- ed a third time, saying again the same words. Perhaps nowhere is the true humility of our - Lord more manifest in the Gospel ree- ords than in his thrice-uttered pe- ition made to his Father this _ night in the dark of Gethsemane, Betrayal and Arrest 45.

Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayed me. Jesus' mood of pensive reflection gives place to rapid decision, These 'last words in Gethsemane throb with the willingness to yield himself up, -and to empty to its dregs the cup which the Father had given him. In this lesson we realize that "the only absolutely holy person .that ever walked this earth, who never did anything wrong, was forsaken by friends, betrayed by' one whom he had continually. be- friended, all without the slightest justification, and all of this was allowed by God -to 'happen. Just why God "allows sorrow, distress, tragedy, to come into our lives we do not always know; but if Jesus endured such experiences as these and never lost faith in God, we, who are sinners, can surely endure any experience he sends, and still trust him through them ' --ey Live Static Screeches and howls in Andrew Ross' radio set at Rochester, N.Y., last week, sounded too realistic for sound effects, too piercing for static, ; Ross investigated.

More Than Double What It Was In Early 1939 Judging from a report from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ca- nalfan sugar refineries have been pouring aut sugar this year at more than double the, pace of early 1939, Official report said Canada's ten su. gar refineries manufactured 60,748, 000 pounds of sugar during the first four weeks of 1940. Of this, 41,790, were granulated and 4,938,000 pounds were yellow and brown, Both grades have been produced at more than double the early 1939 pace, Granulated during the first four weeks of 1939 amounted 'to 15,432,000, and yellow and brown amounted to 3,142,000, or a totaj.ot 18,575,000 pounds. The fiz: t four weeks of 1949 turn. €d out more than for the first ~ight weeks of 1939, as the second Jour. week period last year produced 23, 004,000 pounds, FARM NOTES BUY SEED NOW The supply of registered sced in Canada Is rapidly growing less by feeding and by sale through the grain: trade. This is particularly trro of tho rust risistant varieties of wheat and oats, says the Agri- cultural Supplies Board and urges that it is important that orders be placed without delay for any regis. tered seed required for spring planting.

OUTSTANDING CONT?IBUTION Dr; James B. Collip, who came to McGill in 1928, had been refer- red to by an eminent American sur- geon as 'the man who had done more for humanity than any other man during the past 20 years. 1 his collaboration with Dr. Banting and Dr. Best he had puritied the pancreas extract so that it might be used with safety in the licat- ment of diabotes, ap Dr. Gurd cited the.famous case at the French-Canadian, Alexis, St. Martin, and Dr. Willladi Beaumont, the . young American. doctor, and - told how the gunshot wound fu tho -stomach of St. Martin had enabled Beaumont ,to watch digestive pro- cesses and through a series of ex- periments greatly develop 'the knowledge of these processes. _OSLER'S BOOK IMPORTANT Sir William Osler, the "bad Loy" of the school, who at the age ot £1 came to McGill to study medicine, wrote "The Practice of Medicine," which became the bible of tho med!. cal profession throughout the ¢n- tire world, Canada could also lake" some credit for the founding ct the Rockefeller Institute and the Rocke- feller Foundation, he suggestad, 'op it was by the reading of Osler's book and his remarks on the aeed for greater knowledge of disease that Rockefeller was inspired to es tablish them, By Willlam Ferguson Tuis CURious WORLD SPERM WHALES || Have A LEFT NOSTRIL | FOR.
