though the afreets of the labour troubles in the united states bitu- iminous coal fields have been seri- lous in canada especially since from april 1 to may i only gg0000 lions of coal were shipped to can dida from united states as against 1915000 tons in same period last year yet it is hinted in ottawa that i he coal problems are not just based on these labour troubles in united states nor that these are only temporary conditions which will pass away by themselves indeed in the summer unless coal produc tion is resumed in the early future the whole canadian situation on coal will be serious and the pros pects for next winter are not opti mistic at all even increased ship ments from western canada open ing of new mines using every pos sible means to get more workers for the mines and

lifebuoy debonoires on the evening of sat june 1 from s to 12 p m markham lesson for june 2 golden text let us love one another for love is of god 1 john 4 7 the lesson as a whole the home at bethany where mary martha and lazarus dwelt was for our blessed lord one of the brightest spots on earth it was one place where he was always welcome and where his mission was understood to a large extent mary perhaps entered into his ihoughts better than the others for she learned at his feet what may have been hidden from her busier sister and even from lszarus him self to these three the lord jesus could allow his affection to go out in a way he could not always do toward others we read that jesus loved matha and her sister and lazarus john 115 and it is very evident that they appreciated and reciprocated that affection for when the brother was ill the sisters uiought it was quite sufiicient to send a messenger to jesus to say to him he whom thou lovest is sick john 113 i know that some ake it for granted that there are two women involved in the different accounts of the anointing of the lord in bethany but to me this seems utterly preposterous in view of the fact that practically the same con versation is given in each account in each instance the disciples object to the waste of the ointment on the ground that it might have been sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor and in each case the lord says that what this woman has done shall be told for a mem orial of her wherever the gospel is preached to me these words prove conclusively that it was mary of bethany the sister of martha and lazarus who anointed the lord end only she it is interesting to note how the holy spirits speaks of bethany as the town of mary and martha doubtless many important people lived in this suburban city so nigh to jerusalem and one might have identified it more naturally with them than with this quiet un assuming family but to cod it was their town because they loved and believed in his son may this not be more than a hint of the way the lord looks upou our cities and vil lages today valuing them not as he places of resident of those great in the eyes of the world whose names are prominent in political scientific or business circles but rather as the place here some of his saints dwell who are numbered among the quiet in the land psa 3520 he poor of this world rich in faith las 25 unknown to men yet well known to god 2 cor 09 verse by verse mark 11 3 the house of simon the leper we know nothing as to this man hut the presumption is that he had been a leper and was cleansed by jesus the woman having an alabaster box of oint ment was mary of whose act of devotion we also read in john 12 she considered nothing too preci ous for jesus upon whose head and feet also as jonn tells she poured the spikenard as he re clined at the table it was a beauti ful tribute to the one whom she recognized as the promised messiah verse 1 why was this waste of the ointment made judas we know from johns account was the prime spirit in this murmur of dis content it indicated how little he and the rest understood of the vents soon to take place though jesus had foretold them again and areva sponsored by the markhamuhionville lions club who will make an extra charge of 35 cents per person for their charities admission 1 life buoy box ask for hydro lamps at your hydro office again mary anointed hi body be forehand for its burial v s verse 5 it might have been old for three hundred pence und have been given to the poor the roman penny or denarius was a silver coin of a little less value than our twentyrive cent piece but it had far greater purchasing power and was the ordinary wage of a laboring man in those days so that according to the computation f judas the ointment represented a full years wages if the sabbath and special feast days be omitted this seemed loo much to lavish on jesus the suggestion ttiat it might rather have been used in alms giving did not mean however that judas cared for the poor we are told it was because he was a thief and kept the tog and bare away uhat was put therein john 120 literal rendering verse 0 let her alone she hath wrought a good work on me jesus always appreciated every evidence of sincere affection and he placed a high value upon marys act of devotion verse 7 ye have the poor with you always me ye have not always it is ever right and proper to minister to the needy who can always be found if we desire to help them such ministry is com mendable at all times but jesus was about to leave them and mary seemed to realize this verse s she hath done what he could there can bo no higher commendation than this all cannot no great things for christ but it is well if each one does what he can as unto the lord himself verse 9 wheresoever this gospel shall be preached this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her mary had no thought that day that her kindly expression of love for the rejected king was to make her name known throughout the entire world yet so it was for the story is told in three of the cospelsand has been carried throughout every hand whore christ is preached luke 10 30 a certain woman named martha received him into her house this was on a previous occasion to the one we have been considering the suggestion seems plausible that martha was the eldest of the trio and the owner of the house verse 39 mary sat at jesus feet and heard his word mary de lighted to take the seat of a learner she reveled in the truth christ came to reveal and found her chief joy in sitting at his feet to some she would seem to be dreamy and impractical but jesus appreci ated her deep interest in his mes sage and her love for himself verse 10 martha was cumbered about much serving martha who as suggested was probably the older sister was perhaps of a mora practical turn of mind than mary and manifested her love by service there was nothing wrong in this her failure consisted in the fact that she became somewhat censori ous of her sister and allowed her self to be anxious and troubled re garding her own household duties there is a touch of selfpity in her complaint dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone verse 41 martha martha thou art careful and troubled about many things- the lords words were in the nature of a gentle rebuke be cause she had become so taken up with her work that she failed to appreciate for the moment that i which was of greater importance namely heartoccupation with christ service should never be divorced from the spirit of worship verse 12 one thing is needful and mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her it might be rend ered of one thing there is need that is the one prime necessity is fio be subject to christ in all things this was what characterized mary and this he would have her con tinue to enjoy observe that the one thing needful in this instance was not the salvation of the soul but heartenjoyment of christ john 111 a certain man was sick named lazarus this is the first time we read of a brother to the two devoted sisters his illness and subsequent death aforded the lord jesus the opportunity to give one of the most convincing proofs of his deity verse 27 it was that mary which anointed the lord with oint ment whose brother lazarus was sick these words were insert ed here for identification purposes though the actual anointing did not take place until some days later verse 3 lord behold he whom ihou lovest is sick nothing more was needed they kne wthe lord jesus christ would understand who was meant and he did but hej waited till lazarus wa dead before responding then he came to raise iiirn and so to give a remarkable testimony on the realiiv of his claim to be the messiah of israel the son of the living god he does not always answer our prayers in cur way but his way is always j best the heart of the lesson in these three friends of jesus we have illustrated three things that should characterize all be lievers in him in martlia we see service which is at its best when free from worry and anxiety and done as unto the lord
