Are Belng: Drawn: More and More Into Agriculture The extent to: which Canadd's Indians are. engaged in agzicule ture is indicated in a recent re- port on crops and live stock on Indian Reserves in 1940. The area under cultivation totalled 216,495 acres, and the crops sown included wheat, oats. bar. mixed grains, corn for husking, potatoes,-turnips, hay and clover, and alfalfa, The acreage under pasture was 36,145, and in fal- low, 86.049, Holdings of farm live stock on the reserves were: horses 26,677, milk cows 6,874, other cattle 35.588, sheep 2,256, 'hogs 4,262, hens and /chickens 86,825, turkeys 6,020, geese 2.- GAME RESOURCES : DEPLETED The transformation of the In. dians from hunters to farmers has been carried out under the guidance of the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources, For years, the Indians subsisted in moder- ate comfort upon the harvest that nature provided, mainly without human aid, but with the advance of settlement and the depletion of game resources that followed in its wake, the Indians in settled areas were faced with the. neces- sity of adopting white men's pur- suits in order to support them- selves. Their success in tlie' 'field of agriculture has been due largely to education and the re- sponse of the Indians to the ef- forts put forth to make them independent and self-supporting. i -- Taking The Day Off 'Lee Bowman, one of filmdom's most jrapldly rising young leading men, ® s advantage .of:a.day. oft from the studi pup his tennis game.

Canadian bacon --. some of it destined eventually for over' seas consumption --- is piling up in storage houses "across Canada at the rate of 3,000,000. punds a week. An official of' tiie Canadian Bacon Board said early this month that this amount was in addition to the regular export flow .under the Canada-United Kingdom bacon agreement which cells for delivery to Britain of 426,600,000 pounds this year --- roughly 8,000,000 pounds a week, -------- 20,000,000 'POUNDS IN Hine spokesmen estimated Can- ada now has some 30,000,000 pounds of, bacon on hand, He ex- plained. that some of this sur: plus: would be used up the sum- mer months, when production usually fall off to some extent, "The. outlook is most encourag- _ ing," he said, "At the present time we have: ample supplies to meet the demand in fact we'te: ovorshipping ourselves, Only a drastic stepup in the Un- ited Kingdom . demand ' could HAND 5 rer a SUNDAY |] SCHOOL LESSON LESSON IX ; THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST Luke 19 : 1 -- 20 : 8.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--The conversion of Zach: aeus and the talling of the parable of the ten poynds occurred durlog the end of March, A.D. 29, The trl umphal entry was on Suuday, April 2nd, the cleansing of the témple on Monday, the day following, and the argument concerning Christ's authority on Tuesday -- all in Pass: fon Week. Place--The conversion of Zach. aeus and tho teaching immediately following took place in Jericho, a city located on the Jordan just above the northern end of the Dead Sea; the remaining incidents ot our lesson occurred in Jerusalem. In this lesson we obtain a pro- founder conception of the ahsolute preeminence of the Lord Jesus Christ among men: fn the conver sion of Zacchaeus it 1s He .who seoks and saves the lost; in the parable of the ten pounds, it is He who Is represented by the noble man who distributes possessions and calls for an accounting; in the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, it {s He who is King; it is He who (eanses the temple; in the argu ment that subsequently arises, it is His authority that Is questioned, His Sorréw For the City Luke 10 : 41. "And when he drow nigh, he saw the city and wept over it. 42. Saying, It thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43. For the days shall * come upon 'thee, when thine en: emies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee In on every side, 44. and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave In thee one stone upon another; because thou knew- "est not the time of thy visitation." This detailed prophecy of our Lord was literally fultilled forty year atferwards, in 70 A.D. "at the sloge of Jerusalem under Titus. Why did our Lord weep? Perhaps becausd he knew that of this glddy thought: less multitude, many who now cried Hosanna would, ere a little week was ended be joining in the ery "Cruclly Him!" He knew, and this+ was a sadder thought still, that there. was no part of this dreadful doom but might have been averted, if Jerusalem had chosen truly to listen to God's servants. Cleansing of the Temple « 45. "And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, 46. saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house. ot prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers." Pilgrims came to Jerusalem (rom all parts of the world to keep the Passover, and at Passover times the city was crowded to excess, The money spent {n the clty dur 'ing these feast occasions formed a great part of the livelihood of the native Jews. The mob of citizens were persuaded that Jesus meant to take the bread out of thelr mouths, and thelr Hosaunas were changed to crles of "Cpucity Him!" (For the convenience of "visitors, one of the courts of the Temple was set apart for a market, where they could buy what animals they needed for sacrifice.) Daily Teaching * 47. "And he was teaching dally in the temple. But the chiet priests 'and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: 48. and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening." From Sunday on, Jesus Christ was teach ing In the Temple, till He left it for good. Tuesday toward evening he informs us that the- Sanhedrin was seeking to destroy Him; but with all their seeking and schem- ing, they were ' not able to find what they might do. The difficulty lay in "the people," the love of the pilgrims for Jesus, His Authority Questioned Luke 20: pass, on one of tho days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there - came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders. 2. And they spake, saying ~ 'uhto him, Tell us: By what author fty. dost thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this an thority?" 5 The real Jewish authorities wore the Pharisees and the fadducees, primarily the Sanhedrin, They bad not given Him any order to cleacse the -Temple--it not they, then who? Furthermore, His teaching was dlametrically opposed to the teaching ot thé Jewish authorities of His day. They emphasized obed: fence to legalistic, formulas: Jesus 1.

"And he answered and sald unto them, I also ask you a ques: tion; and tell me: 4. The baptism ot John, was it from heaven, or from men? 5. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, It we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not belleve him? 6. But if wo shall say, From men; all the peoplo will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. 7. And they answered, that they knew not whence it was. 8. And Jesus said unto them, Neith- or tell I you by what authority 1 do these things." Jesus did not answer thelr question directly, for one reason, because they were not sincere In their quest for truth. Men who do not want the truth wlll never find it.

Good Racing Stock Scarce in Canada 1, J. McCabe of Toronto, presi- dent of the Canadian Thorough- bred Horse Society. said in his report at the annual meeting of the society that Canada is '"'un- fortunately lacking in geod brood mares." "Those interested in racing and breeding know too well how vi- tally racing "is dependent upon good blood-stock. We must con- sider every means possible to en- courage the bloodstock industry." He said British hidodstock breeders had been asked in the past year to send their prime- bloodstock to Canada and United States to prevent pessible injury during wartime, and that small shipments had been made to the United States. He said "shipping facilities, climatic conditions and various other reasons" were given by British breeders in de- clining to send their stock here.

This survey indicates that the shortage of instructors will make itself increasingly evident during the present calendar year and may become critical to the main- tenance of educational standards in the next school session. Teachers stated last week that they were leaving the profession for two reasons. One is the call to national service, which is tak- ing an incréasing proportion of the male teachers, and the other main reason is low valaries. A statistical study has been made by the Canadian Teachers' ederation to show that teachers are not only the lowest paid pro- fessional group but in many cases are receiving a great deal less than other large classifications of trained and semi-skilled workers. This condition must be remedied, teachers claim, if education is to maintain itself proportionately to other community and national enterprises. Ancient Chinese 1 Raised Rhubarb . As Long Ago As 2,700 B.C. They Dried the Root and Used It As Medicine--Greeks Brought It From Asia Has it ever struck you that someone, somewhere, sometime, had to risk his life by sampling the various roots, pods, stalks and leaves which we call vege- tables? That was once the only means of determining whether the stuff killed you or not. Rhubarb was known as long ago as 2,700 B.C., when the Chine ese dried the root and used it as a medicine; and a medicine it re- mained for 4,600 years. From Asia, its use spread westwards to Arabian and Tartary, 'whence the early Greeks and Romans brought it to Europe. Ry the be. gunning of tne Christian Era # was a well-known commoqi'y in ewtern Europe, and a big trade vias done in it. The early physicians named the herb Rha, (leopatra's deetcr, Lioscorides, called it Khia, = Mar. ce'linus, wricing in the fourth century, sald it got this name because it was found growirg om the banks of the River Rha--now the Volga.
