april 6 lesson i the law of the cross matthew 16 1326 golden text if any man will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me mat thew 16 24 analysis 1 the cheat confession vs 1320 ii the suffering messiah vs 2123 iii the terms of discipleskip v3 vs 2426 introduction this lesson marks a change in the method of jesus ho has thus far been preparing h disciples for their persoal confession of his greatness is the messiah ho had not openly revealed his great dignity but now that these followers have advanc ed thus far he proceeds to reveal to them the true nature of his office he corrects iheir wrong ideas of mere worldly glory and shows them that he must first suffer many things before his put pose can bo realized i the great confession s 1320 v 13 jesus had reached the most northerly point in his journey and had come to casarea philipoi a town in the territory of philip and so called to distinguish it from casarea on tho seacoast it was under the shadow of mount hermon and is now called banias jesus asks the disciples concerning their opinions which are current about himself we notice that he uses the selfselected title son of man v 14 the replies of the disciples ehow that jesuj had not thus far openly stated that he was ihe christ but they also show how poiund was the impression which he had made since hj is compared with the great est men of the nation john the bap tist elijah jeremiah v 15 jesus is however less con cerned about oublic opinion than about their opinion v 16 simon pcler answers for the twelve and makes his memorable con fession it is a reply that reveals the great advance which he has made their views had become n- ore spirit ual and they were ready to accept jesus as their lurd in spite of the out ward failure of many of their expec tations the words o peter were such as would imply the divinity of christ it is said that lere we reach the high water mark of apostolic faith during the prcresurrection days v 17 jesus is greatly ffected by the reply and lays great store by this notable confession he say that this could not come from human wisdom but must be duo to the drect action of the spirit of his father in heaven v 18 now the church mav begin gi ce it is upon such confession that christ may build as upon a rock faith in christ and attachment to him are the essentials for all true disciples these foundations are permanent no death will come to this church it will never pass down through the doors that lead to hades the ralm of the d d v 19 this promise is nt made to peter alone as a personal git as is taught in tho roman catholic theo logy one who is called in tho sequel satan annot on the infallible guide of all christians the meaning seems to be that the hurch in tho future will make wise and just decisions on questions of conduct and policy there will be a guiding spirit in the church christ will be present to open all these doors ii the suffering messiah vs 2123 v it is distinctly stated that a change now took place in the method of jesus the disciples had discover ed the messianio secret of jesus but they were far from understanding what his meaning of that office was they had associated it with outward success and triumph but jesus low pro ceeds to givo them further in on the naturo of his mossiahsiip his victory is possible only by theway of the cross jesus sees quite nearly that he is to have a fatal ending to his career and he new makes a pivdiciton on tho details of this his mind had evidently pictured the future in its sad and painful outline though in all these prophecies the resurrection is included v 22 the words of poer make it ccar that it was very difficult for these disciples to accept this ica of a suffering messiah evidently they had not applied the reat passage in isa iah chap 53 to this office and they tl erefore shrank from the thought v 23 we notice the severity of the reply of jesus he who recently was called the rock of the church is now referred to as filling the place of the tempter peter is a stumblingmock the entire passage reveals tho wis dom which jesm exercised in tho im planting of new idea in the minds of the disciples he could not give them nil the truth at one time but had to use the principle of adaptation he knew how hard it was to prepare them for this truth that the best things he had to bring could come only through suffering iii the tebms of disciflesh1p vs vs 2426 v 24 jesus now lays down the same principle for his disciples those who com after him must be ready to face th same hardships they will meet with much danger and opposition they will he scoffed at anj rejected simply because they claim to follow jesus v 25 this is one of the few say ings common to all the gospels it has already appeared in matt 10 24 it must therefore be a kind of key- verse in th new testament it makes manifest this great truth that un selfish and selfforgetting service is the condition of discipleship but

grlsdale deputy minister of agricul ture reports keen interest in and good general support of the beef grading policy inaugurated by the depart ment not only are the livestock men themselves taking a real interest in tho opportunities presented by tho new system but th packing houses the retail stores and the consumers are all taking a growing interest in the graded beef policy for the livestock man it means ear lier returns for better quality live stock for the packing house it means better business with tho speculative clement reduced to a minimum to the housewife and the retailer it means better relations through dealing in qualiyt branded products the new system is taking hold well in the west and as more beef fit for grading comes through from the cana dian livestock men graded beef will be better known on the eastern mar ket with resultant advantages to all concerned better feed standards better feed oats and barley is as sured by the new regulations of the seed branch of the dominion depart ment of agriculture which require a more careful elimination of weed seeds under these new regulations while wild oats and other grains pre sent are taken into consideration the quality of tho grain itself now mainly determines the grade in the past there have been frequent complaints especially from the east ern feeders of the excess of weed seeds contained in feed grain from the west under the grain inspection practices now in force even the low est grades of feed seed oats and bar ley may have not more than 3 per cent of weed seeds with this new system of inspection in operation eastern feeders will be able to buy feed oats and feed barley on certificate and with much greater assurance as to the cleanliness and quality of the grain so purchased chicken training

get in canada through a short course in how they must act when at the crystal palace it is of course far too early to say anything about tho canadian exhibit for the congress beyond the fact that it will be fully representative of can ada and will feature canadian poultry in a most unusual and effective man ner fine as the birds which have been selected for the canadian exhibit now are when they have finished their education they will be quite as fin ished and clever as birds can be the etiquette of the show ring will add much to their natural qualifications and tho birds will add the final

which has the supreme merit that the drink er following an overdose the previ ous night may by simply drinking a glass of water revive all the sense of intoxication the disadvantage of the new drink according to declara tions in tho house of commons is that it is extremely bad not only for tho lining of the stomach but for the nerves as well just what ingredients go into the new drink neither tho royal licen sing commissions nor the house of commons has so far been able to de termine but the general impression is that it is made from cheap wine from southern england jazzed up with a sizable injection of raw alcohol because the basic wine is made in england the duty is only 35 cents a gallon as against 210 per gallon on tho lowestpriced imported wines from sapin and portugal for this rea son it can be sold very cheaply the main indictment against red biddy is that the barrels in which it is brought to saloons become corrod ed instead of preserved as would bo the effect of good wine on

inquiries are now being mad by the cunard line for specifications for a new ocean greyhound to replace the rapidly ag ing mauretanla shipping circles un derstand that the cunard line is now conrlnced that its picturesque flagship which held tho atlantic blue ribbon for many years is incapable of wrest ling speed laurels from the faster bre men and it therefore behooves the british line to bolster up its fleet by replacing the mauretania with a faster ship rumors aud conjectures to this ef fect have been floating about for some time but recently was tho first de finite information that the cunard line was taking the necessary steps to recapture tho record for the fastest atlantic crossing however tho bremens recordhold ing performancce is not the only rea son it is pointed out that the maure tanla is already 21 years old and that by tho time she is replaced she will have reached tho age limit for atlantic service nevertheless there is a good deal of astonishment in shipping circles here that the cunard line has taken the plunge for it was thought that in view of the great activitiy in ternationally in building up merchant fleets the cunard line would prefer to hold off construction for the pres- sent it is emphasized that the invitations for bids just sent out relate to the construction of one ship not two as has been erroneously reported how ever the new ship will

tho nose shines during the past few years a new feature of unusual interest in tho educational work of tho college has been developing this is an annual exhibition known as the college royal the show is staged entirely byjhe students aud year by year it is improving so rapidly that it is be ginning to attract the attention of tho people of the province as it sure ly should as its name indicates it is a sort of miniature royal winter fair and its purpose is to develop in the stud ents the ability to plan and supervise a fair and to properly prepare and exhibit all kinds of livestock and other farm products as well as to stage educational exhibits along the lines of country life this years college royal was held on tuesday march 4th and proved a real revelation not only to the visi tors who came but also to the in structors and students themselves the way most of the live animals were exhibited would certainly have done credit to the great royal at to ri nto and several of the educational exhibits were good enough to bo real attractions at any of the large shows of the continent in the livestock classes prizes were not awarded on the merits of the ani mals but on the proficiency of the exhibitors in preparing and exhibit ing their entries and this was so uniformly well done that the judges n most cases found it very hard to make awards tho home economics students as well as the agricultural students are involved in this unique show an educational exhibit placed by the girls won second prize and in some re spects was superior to the first for this exhibit a

paper furniture and drapes dyed flour sacks were used in making the drapes for dressing tale window seat and wardrobe an old braided rug was dyed to match tho drapes on the walls were a few magazine pic tures mounted on white cardboard the high headpieece of tho bed was cut down to o more modest and usable height and the bed given a coat of ivory paint a common chair was brought up from the kitchen painted to match the bed and decorated with a small design in harmonizing colors the room looked extremely attractive and tasty and the entire cacsh cost was only 423 this exhibit constituted a very striking leron in taste and economy yet it stood second to the canadian bacon exhibit set up by the students of animal husbandry we predict great things for the fu ture of the college royal the

tuce cress and mustard should go ia first there is little danger of plant ing them too soon as most of them will stand some frost they may be planted just as soon as it is possible to get on the land thoso which aro grown for their bulbs or roots such as parsnips beets carrots early tur nips and ouions may be planted about the same time although they aro not as hardy as the first mentioned peas should not go in until the weather turns warmer for although they aro fairly hardy they are liable to rot if put in while tho soil is cold and wet this applies to the vegetabe pea and not the kind grown for flowers which are sown just as early as possible later sown or set out vegetables arcs cabbages cauliflower tomatoes raek oils cucumbers aud celery these will- not stand any frost and so must either j be planted and protected in hotbed coldframes or in tho greenhouse un til all danger of frost is past fruit trees and shrubs fruit and ornamental trees shrub bery and roso bushes aro planted as- soon as the ground is dry enough to dig this also applies to bush fruits strawberries and perennial flowers i once tho soil loses the moisture ot early spring and hot dry winds com- mence a much larger proportion ot plants will die than if planted earlier in planting these trim off all broken and weak growth and shorten the top to compensate for the shearing off of the root growth plant a little deeper than these things weer in before and make the hole big enough to receive all tho roots without crowding it is well to fill in with good soil finely pul verized and pour from halt to a pail of water on this soil after it is firmed about the roots the water will force the fine soil in tight around the tiny rootlets and exclude the air which would otherwise be fatal to the plant nitrate of soda sprinkled at the rate of a teaspoonful per shrub in the case of newly planted seedlings up to half a pound for a large well established bush will stimulate growth wonder fully foliage screens bare wooden fences even if painted do not make attractive backgrounds for any garden and neither do barns- garages and house walls in most cases these can be very effectively screened by tallgrowing flowers creepers or trailing vines where one owns the property the job should he made permanent using clumps of shrubbery at the corners and here and there in front of the walls or fences and permanent creepers such as dutchmans pipe virginia creeper or boston ivy on the walls with the exception of tho boston ivy and one form of virginia creeper which are selfclimbing tho others will need some form of support with the lat ter and also ith climbing roses it is well to have them out from the wall or fence a little hit in the case of a brick or stone wall which is in clined to heat up during the hot sum mer days and ruin tho bloom if not the plant itself it is almost essential to have the creeper at least a foot away from the wall one can do this by erecting trellis work or wire tho wooden trellis is preferable because it will not heat and burn the plants which is attached by short supports to the wall another way is to fasten blocks or stojit pieces o wood about sili inches long to the wall and strong wires along these about six inches from hie wall where tho creepers are supported in this way foliage and bloom will last longer because they are away from the reflected heat and it is also possible to get a hose or sprayer in behind them to fight in sect pests of course this is rather an expensive process and is only re commended in the case of expensive screening material even where one is only renting the property and ex pects to move next year very effectivo screens can be made with scarlet runner beans morning glories hops or dolichos hyacinth bean which will all grow rapidly providing foliage and flowers to cover anything they aro attached to sweet peas morning glories and climbing nasturtiums can only be used on smaller buildings or fences as they will not grow much over five feet but the others named will grow up to twenty feet the hya cinth bean doing this easily and pro viding an abundant show of white purple and lilac flowerspikes as well
