sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad jesus was the shepherd who was about to be smitten and he foretold the scattering of the sheep but after i am raised up once more as so often before our lord foretells his resurrection i will go before you into galilee still the shepherd of the sheep our lord would precede his little flock as an eastern shepherd goes before his flock and does not drive it before him but peter answered and said un to him peter the bold the im petuous the outspoken who may have said only what all the others wanted to say but did not dare to if all shall be offended in thee i will never be offended there was in peters words a vanity which would set him above all his brethren even above the sainted john and the valorous james they might forsake the master

with thee yet will i not deny thee he wanted to set out at once for martyrdom in jesus behalf likewise also said all the disciples the disciples trusted themselves they did not mean to fall then cometh jesus with them unto a place called gethsemane gethsemane means significantly an oil press our lord went there that night primarilyfor prayer before his terrible ordeal and also to separate from his trouble the kind ly family who had given him their hospitality for the last supper and saith unto his disciples sit ye here while i go yonder and pray there are some acts of life in which every one of us must be alone and he took with him peter and the two sons of zebedee these were james who was to be the first nevertheless not as i will but as thou wilt these were the two points of his prayer if it be possible and nevertheless and he cometh unto the disciples and findeth them sleeping sleeping with the son of god agonizing for them only a stones cast away and saith unto peter peter was the one who had made the loud protesta tion of fidelity what could ye not watch with me one hour in the last great service peter did not fail him for peter was crucified for christ james too laid down his life for him and john went into exile in the isle of patmos where they all failed was in the lesser thing in the duty that was comparatively small watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation we must either be christs soldiers or the de vils slaves the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak how- ready was christ to make allowances again a second time he went a- way and prayed saying my father if this cannot pass away except i drink it thy will be done- essen tially the same as the first prayer not because christ did not mean the first prayer but because he meant it so much and he came again and found the bean weevil is unable to sur vive when exposed to winter tem peratures in canada says alan g dustan of the dominion entomolo gical branch accorrdingly beans

treatment if beans contain weevils they should be fumi gated with carbon bisulphide the greatest care however must be exer cised in the use of carbon bisulphide as the fumes are poisonous to human beings and quickly ignite and explode when brought into contact with fire in any form athough this fumigrant can be purchased at most seed houses or wholesale drug stores its use should be confined to

so many canadian lives and it is in the smal town that neighbourliness reaches its highest development yet even in the crowded cities there is just below the surface a golden vein of neigh- borliness the sums raised in cities for unemployment relief and the splendid response to benevolent ap peals attest the existenco of a feel ing of affection and responsibility for those who live nearby all too often we hide an interest in others behind a mask of assumed in difference we are afraid someone will think us soft and sentimental never has there been a time in the history of our nation when true

even unto death no one of us can imagine the awful weight of the and he left them again and went away and prayed a third time say ing again the same words we read luke 2243 that at the height of christs agony there appeared unto him an angel from heaven worlds iniquity pressing down upon strengthening him oh what do the pure spirit of the saviour abide ye here and watch with me it was a very human feeling that christ showed this need of compan ionship in his sufferings and he went forward a little and fell on his face thus he showed his utter abandonment to grief and en treaty and prayed saying my father always however bitter the cup extended to him he knew that it was in his loving fathers hand if it be possible let this cup pass away from me by cup through out the bible is meant fortune or fate coming woe or coming joy you offer to the dear lord in his garden of sorrows then cometh he to the disciples his hour of trial was over and his conflict was won but still he longed for companionship and saith un to them sleep on now and take your rest such unconcern thrice re peated was surely as much a denial as that of st peter afterwards and the depressing sense of the disciples frailty and lack of sympathy must have added no little to the bitter load of sorrow which the saviour had to bear behold the hour is at hand and the son of man is betrayed into o mellow bells o bells

ladies of the highest rank were considered unaccomplish ed without this art writes mairi macbride in the glasgow herald these early embroideress spun their own ornamental threads which were often silver and gold and the threads along with their needle they carried about with them in a leather bag or basket which they kept for the purpose the earliest needle was made of bone or bronze but later needles were made of steel and as they were difficult to make they were expen sive so expensive indeed that the price of one embroidery needle was one ounce of silver which today would be about equal to one shilling and sixpence scarf of celtic purple as the spinning wheel was not in vented till the fifteenth or sixteenth century the thread was spun with a distaff anil spindle and was then woven on a handloom weaving in those days was practised to an art very beautiful designs being woven into the cloth and as an artistic ac complishment mrny ladies designed and wove their own ornamental and elaborate scarves in which the famous celtic purple color v as much in evidence the finest of linen was woven at so early a date that the time when it was first used has been lost in antiquity y the sum paid for weaving a piece of cloth for a garment was onetenth the cost of that garment but there seems to have been no record of how much the dressmakers get for making the garment although we know such a person was employed menton is made in one record of a dressmakei who sewed with even reguar stitches no individual craftsman or woman was permitted to practise till his work hadbeen examined at

to be ex amined by this sage before he or she was allowed to practise in this way precaution were taken to secure competency in all handicrafts and keen the standard of work at a ver high level the design for embroidery or for any of the crafts was first modelled on a leather pattern or designed on parchment then placed within the leather pattern was a very useful de vice something similar to a modern book jacket init was placed the design of the needle woman so that she could more easily perform her handicraft by having the leather pat tern before her it also helped to keep the design clean and intact according to the brehon laws a woman was fined if she kept cop ied or injured in any way the leather pattern of her neighbors handiwork this suggests the ability of the needlewoman to work out her own designs and indeed this would be a necessity since transfers wore unknown a generous custom it was the custom in those days for one woman to bless the needle work spinning or weaving of an other woman and a fine was im posed on anyone who being the first to see a finished piece of work neglected to bless it a leather pattern similar to that used by the ancient celts would prove a boon to many a modern needlewoman as indeed would the basket or bag for holding the threads the celts excelled in leather work and the skins of goats sheep calves and wild animals were used for this purpose among the prin cipal articles made from these skins were leather scoops leathor pat terns leather satchels to protect manuscripts shoes jackets and coverings for wickerwork boats known as
