INTRODUCTION After thu last lesson the opposition to Jesus increased very much, and it was getting more and more difficult for him to escape t'.ie forces that were arrayed against him. Even Herod, tho ruler of Galilee had been aroused against him. Accord- ingly Jesus decided to leave the terri- tory of Herod for a while. His visit to the coasts of Tyre and Eidon were therefore not undertaken for any mis- sionary purpose, hut in order that he might be free from political troubles that might arise. The time had not yet come for him to face the author- ities at Jerusalem. Also he wished to have a time of quietness with the dis- ciples. I. A MOTHER'S IMPORTUNITY, 21, 22. V. 22. In Matthew the woman is called a Canaanite, which is equival- ent to the Phoenician. In Mark she is spoken of as a Greek and e Syro- phu'nician. By this we learn 'hat her language was Greek, while her nation- ality was Phosnician, and htr province Syria. She was, therefore, a Gontile without any direct share in the privi- leges of the Jews. Her coming to Jesus was really a great victory for: (1 ) She had all the national prejudice gi.-uist a foreigner, which ev;n still persists with us. This healer was not one of her own folks, and shj disliked asking a favor of such anone. (2) Also the disciples were not very well inclined to her. They are imi>atient of this interruption nnd a>k Jesus to send her away, though it is probable that we are to understand that they hope that Jesus may grant her re- quest, and send her off. (3) There was also this apparent reluctance of Jesus to pay any attention to h.r. But in spite of all these difficulties in her way she persists. She likely ha-1 beard of the many cures which Jesus had wrought in Galileo, and she had hopes that he might Le persuaded to do at least one more miracle.

At ar.y rate we see in this woman the value of persistence. Jesus had him- s-!f taught the value of importunity ir prayer, and this Woman was deter- i led to get her request answered. II. THE APPARENT REFUSAL OF JESUS, V. 23. Thus far we have rt-en Jesus answering every appeal for help, nnd h-.-aling all who came; but now there is an apparent change in his manner. First of all, he remains silent and Bays not n word, a>; if he w-'iv ind'fT'-r- ent to what she says.

Nor Is that genius always misguided there are times when a printer's er- ror may enrich the language.

"The Little Lass " Sometimes, Indeed, a misprint is so apt that one can hardly believe It WAS the result of a slip. The compositor who converted "candid friends" Into "candid fiends" had probably suffered from thr belligerently truthful. Malice ma/ also be suspected in some cases as when an American printer made "battle-scarred veteran" into "bottle- scarred veteran." One letter can make a lot of differ- ence. Sir Kdmund Gosse has become "Sir Edmund Goose"; and "the most romantic figure In history" been ren- dered as "the moist romantic." And once nn advertisement of a firm which specialized In stained glass came out as follows and in a Church news- paper: "Painted Widows Make the Host War Memorial." But It is not fair always to blame the printer when an error occurs. When n certain Admiral was described as having two sons, one at the Im- perial College, Windsor, and the other at Dartmoor (the great British penal Institution) Dartmouth (the naval I academy) was meant It was probably the handwriting that was at fault.

"A sl;y-pi|iii Is Farm Notes Frozen-Pack Strawberries Some rather interesting and appar- ently satisfactory results arc reported lu connection with recent experiments relating to the cold storage handling of strawberries. A feature at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair last year was the fine appearance and uallly of apparently fresh Canadian-grown Htruwbcrrles as nn item on the menu of the All-Cana- dian Products Dinner. These berries had been grown la British Columbia in June and had been kept in a frozen rendition In cold storage. An Ontario Jam factory recently re- ceived a consignment of the same pack of berries, which they report were received in good condition. The surplus crop of strawberries was sent by the British Columbia growers to the Government Kxperl mental Plant, where tho fruit was washed and graded under government supervision, parked In barrels with sugar, sealed and then put in cold storage where they have since been kept at a temperature of 155 degrees F. above zero. Last year's pack amounted to 2,100 barrels. The results of this experiment indi- cate that the berries kept sufficiently well to be used as fresh fruit and mar- keted as a really first-class article. The Prince of Wales' Exhibit One of the feature attractions at tho forthcoming World's Poultry Con- gress to be held In London, England, in July of this year will be the exhibit supplied by His Royal Highness, the J'rlnce of Wales. The exhibit will be essentially a Canadian feature as it will be a repro- duction in miniature of the famous "E.P." ranch at High Illver, Alberta. The exhibit will employ the latest de- velopments in exhibition display and will have unique and novel lighting effects. It will occupy a space of about 100 Osquare feet and has been placed in proximity with the Cana- dian exhibit. The quality of the Prince's exhibit has made such an appeal to the Man- agement of the crystal Palace, where the Congress will be held, that they have agreed to let It remain as an ex- hibit for a period of twelve months following the Congress. Building Up Bee Colonies One of the most effective ways of building bee colonies up to full pro- duction strength is the importation of package bees. C. H. Gooderham, H.S.A., the Dominion Apiarist, in a pamphlet on package bees now avail- able at the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, states that the transportation of bens by package is proving tjuite satisfactory, and may be done safely anywhere In Canada. With propor care and inanap'm> n' they will build up into strong produc- ing colonies tho first srason. In the prairii; province's and other areas whore the main honey flow comes late there Is a longer building up period and package bees will often equal overwintered colonies in pro- duction, in regions where the main How comes early package bees are unable to build up to full strength, be- fore tho How starts and cannot be ex- p'-rteii to store such large crops. A development of importance In this connection is the establishment of the fact that It Is now possible to ship package bees without comb, the ad- vantage of til" new method being that it prohibits the possibility of the In- troduction of disi'.i -e. While the be- ginner may have a little more trouble with package bees (bun he had with hoes already established on combs, ho is at least certain that bis bc-es will be free from disease. When purchasing package bees It is extremely important that the hives should be ready to receive them when they arrive and also that thero is suf- ficient continuous supply of food for them until they cnii gather enough for themselves. Increasing Egg Production The opportunity for the poultry rai.ier to meet the Increasing demand for eggs both for home consumption and export lies not In increasing the number of birds but In improving the production ability of the birds we linvo, la the opinion of Mr. V. C. El- ford, Dominion Poultry Husbandman of tho Federal Department of Agricul- ture. There lias been a. remarkable In- crease In egg production of late years, closely associated wltli the improve- ment In quality which has followed grading. In fact the demand for home consumption alone is to-day greater than the supply and at the same time there Is a real opportunity for Cana- dian eggs on the British market. Repeated tests at the Central Ex- perimental Farm show that the pullet Is more valuable as an egg producer than the older h >n. It has been found that the yearly profit for a pullet is M-34 as compared with $1.66 for a hen, or, to put it another way, that it costs 20c a dozen to produce eggs through pullets as compared with 35c5 a dozen to produce eggs through hens.

Enclose 20c in Love Not Lost Art The greatest change for the worse that has taken place In the world In this generation is that people have stopped talking about love and start- ed talking about sex. Love between the sexes Is a sexual phenomenon. It did not need the wisdom of daring cr even the yi ungest novelist to Inform the world of that. But what Is equally true, and far more important, is that love is sex and something more. It Is the something more that matters most. We live in an age of abolitions, and the latest thing to be abolished. I gather from my reading, Is Romantic ' Lrve. (But reading is one thing, and . the reading of life another. Fiction has a habit of Ignoring fact.) Not only fiction writers are guilty The psychologists and the sociologists, and for all I know, the other variety of Vlogists, have lifted up their voices about sex; too many of them have for- gotten ibout love. The Mainspring of Life A German Count has Just told us that Romantic Love la dead In the United States. I am expecting a Dutch Uncle to tell us that it la dead In Britain. I know very well that Romantit L< ve is not dead In the United States, any more than It is dead in Siberia, or in Papua, in London, or in Wlgan. There are certain basic impulses which simply refuse to be abolished. If they were to die, humanity ItseU would die with them. And of all the impulses of life, love Is the most central and vital. Love, mind you not simply sex. It is love, the rrmance, not sex. the instinct, that makes the world go round. When the young " man falls in love with the youn? wo- man he is not conscious solely or primarily of sex; he thinks of beauty, and service, and Ideals. It Is fashionable nowadays espec! ally among the 'ologlsts Just mention- ed to asseverate that "everything iJ sex." It would be Just as true to say that because the solar system was once a sprawl of fire everything U still gas. The Mistake We Make What counts Is not the material origin but the spiritual result. II affection and loyalty and self-sacrifice have in some way developed <ut of that It has been, or will be, killed by sex equality. That sort of conten- tion is based on a popular misconcep- tion of romance. The Idea Is that wo- man cannot be admired as a comrade but only as a doll or a drudge; that she is remote and mysterious and ador- able when huddled up In the absurd flounces and fur-belows of the nine- teenth century, but cocmmonplace in the common-sense clothes of to-day.
