The Lexon In lit Setting. Time: â€" Thursday evening, April 6. A.D. 30 Place:- The discourse in chapter 14 wa.H ffiven in the upper room where the Lord's Supper was insti- tuted: the discourse in chapter 15 was •ipoUen on the way from the upper room to the Garden of Geth- semane Let not your heart be troubled: â€" The heart is the seat of feelinjt and of faith. Chri.st'.s own heart at times knew deep agitation (John 12: 27; 13: 21; 11: 33). The disciples were naturally troubled becau.se they knew that that niprht a great crisis was impending and certainly they must have known that Christ was now about to be slain; probably it was dawning on them that Judas Iccariot was on some wicked mis- •ion; certainly they knew that Peter was soon to deny the Lord. Believe in God. believe also in me: â€" It is with the heart that men believe unto righteousness, and. con- sequently, to quiet the heart in an hour of trouble and fear, some ob- ject of belief must be presented. There is no use in trying to com- fort ilher pei nl«- unir? vou have somethint; to present to them upon which they can lean, or, better, some one to whom they can look with trust and confidence. In my Father's house: â€" The word here translated "house" is the one used throughout the New Testa- ment for any ordinary home (e.g.. Matt. 2: 11; 7: 24; 8; 14. etc.). though It refers more to the house- hold or family living in a particular house than the building itself. Fatherhood speaks of home and love. A father on earth would naturally belong to some homo and our Father in Heaven has His home- Christ knew about the Father's house because He had come down from the Father (John 3: 13; C:33, 88, 41. 50. 51, 58). Are many mansions: â€" The word here translated "man.sions" comes from a word from which derives the verb "remain," and means, literal- ly, "abiding place.s." "Heaven is a true home." If it were not so, I would have told you. "Of course he would. It was his nature to tell men every- thing it was necessary for them to know. He wvuld not allow his friends to go on holding delusions when a word from him would set them free." For I go to prepare a place for you: â€" The word here translated "prepare" simply means "to make resdy," and, of course, to make ready l)oforo something is needed. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again â€" This prom- ise to return refers to the Second Advent of our Lord. He went away In bodily form, visible to those who Stood with him on the mount from which he ascended; there is no Scripture for believing that our Lord ii not today in bodily form, â- till n man, and of course, God. He will return as he went away. This la exactly what the angel.s announc- ed to the up-looking disciples on the very day of Christ's ascension (Acts 1. 10, 11).. And will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also: â€" With this Htatement compare 1 The.ss. 4: 15â€"17. When a father of H home i.s compelled to go into Some far-removed state, or another country, to establish a new resi- dence, lie makes every plan to bring his wife and beloved children to that place I.S soon as circum.stance-s allow. Love always longs for Uioso beloved to lie near. Ami whither I go, ye know the way: "Heaven is Christ, and the way to Heaven is al.so Christ. Tliey are not to he translated to Heaven at (ii.ci ; and so tho knowledge of the v.ay to il and assurance tliat they are travelling on it, â€" sure of reaching tho end,â€" are even more Imjioitant for them to contemplate. Th'mas saith unto him. Lord, we know not wliillier thou goest; how know v.-e the way? :â€" "\\U <iueslion hero hns a ineUincholy tone combin- ed Willi some dullness of apprehen- sion, but there is h.mesty of pur- pose in it.

'The pronoun is emphatic; I nnd no other." Ho i.^ the way between Heaven and earth; tho way to the Father's house; the way home; the way that loads to eternal glory (Hcb. 10: l!»-22). He does not point the wayâ€" he I«^ the way. And he truth:â€" 'If we .lesire tc know God is in his essential attrib- utes, we need but study Jesus Christ. If ye had known nic, ye would have known my Father al.so:â€" "The emphasis in the first clause is on 'known;' in the second on 'Father.' The meaning is: "If ye had recog- nized Me, ye would have known My Father also." From henceforth ye know him. and have seen him: â€" "Tho an- nouncement which Christ had made had placed the nature of the Father in a clear light. The disciples could no longer doubt as to hi.s character or purpose. In this sense they had 'seen the Father' though God is in- deed invisible (1: 18)." Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us: â€" The Lord had been speaking about the Father's heme, with its many ng places, and then he adds that the Ijsciples H 'K seen the F'ather. Philip responds to this an- nouncement immediately as though his heart cried out: "Only make that true that 1 have really seen God and it will be enough " After all, it is the great cry of the human heart to bo assured of tho reality and t^ie character ol a loving Father in Heaven. This the Lord Jesus came to reveal. In nim we know the Father in Heaven. Jesus saith unto him. Have 1 been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? 'God is holi- ness and love; tho real manife.sta- tion of these moral perfections can only consist in a moral life such that in it, 'n its act.s and words, '.he moral perfection of the divine character shall shine forth. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayesl thou, .Show us the Father?;â€" Thi.s sentence most unmistakably makes Christ .speak of himself as e;|ual with the Father. "A (,'hristian, even a perfect one, would not say, 'He who has seen me has seen the C'hrist.' How much less could a man, even a perfect man, .say, 'He who has seen me, has seen the Father'!" In Christ dwelt all the fullne.^s of the Godhead bodily (Col. 2: !*). Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in nie? tho words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me dteth his works: â€" Christ first asks a (|uestion and then answers it, both in the same .sent- ence. The fact that God was in him, and he in God the Father, both working as one, the .Son revealing the Father, and the Father accom- plishing his purpose through tho Son, is proved both in the fact that the very wo.-ds of Christ were the words of God which he liad received from his Father, and the words that he did were accomplished by the power of God working through him. Uelievo me that I am the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very words' sake: â€" Chri.st's wonderful ministry presents more than enough evidence to prove his absolute deity and the Gospel records of his life are a miglity argu- ment for proving and a plea for be- lieving him to be the Son of God. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name: â€" "Prayer is now to be the channel through which that power is to be received for their work." Verily, verily, 1 say unto you. He that belicvcth on mc, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall ho do; be- cause I go unto tho Father: â€" Wo should bo very careful to, observe Has Laugh for Death Declaring that old age holds more terrors for her than death, Miss Daly Spoke, 2fl, has joined the "Suicide Squad, new organ- ization of stunt women employed by British movie studios.

He was flying from Yuma, Ariz., to North Island, Cal. Farm Problems Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL with the co-operation of the variojs departments of Ontario Agricultural College 1. Question: "I would appreciate your advice regarding pastures. Would it pay me to fertilize an old and partly worn out pasture, and if so, how would you recommend ap- plying it?" â€" F. O., Kent County. Answer:â€" On fields where there is .still a good bottom of grasses and .some White Clover, the pa.sture may ho improved without piia ghiiiK by a:p- plying a light dressing of well-rotted manure supplemented by a fertilizer suitable to the soil requirements. On fields where the stand of grass is poor, plough and crop for one, or preferably two years, and clean of weeds; use a hoc crop or summer fallow the year bi'fore .seeding down, and add a good d'cssing of barnyard manure. Posture rcciuires a soil rich in liumu.< which enables it to retain mosturc. Where the cst.a'jlishnient of a good pasture is the main objective, it is advisable to appiy only part of the fertilizer with thu nurse crop and part in the early fall as a top dress- ing on the new seedlings, which les- sens winter killing and holds the legumes which are free nitrogen gatherers. If all the fertilizer is applied at the time of seeding, the nurse crop should either be sown thinly or cut or pastured off early, or none used at ;ill. A heavy nurse crop left until maturity will tend to weaken the youn;; seedlings. On well manured heavy soils in good fertility, apply 250 to 375 lbs. per acre of 20 per cent Superphos- phate. On heavy loams which res- pond to nitrogen and potash, apply the same amounts of 2-1C-6 fertilizer and on the lightc loams use a 2-12- 10 mixture. In all cases the suits should be tested for acidity and agricultural lime applied according to the soil requirements, preferably several weeks before seeding. Manure is high nitrogen and potash and low in phi,jphoric acid, so that when heavy applications of manure are made cither in preparing the seed bed or top dressing of pastures, the addition of nitrogen and potash are not so important and may be dis- that Christ did not say that greater "miracles" than he performed would his followers perform. The word here translated "work" is not the Greek word meaning: "a sign" or a "miracle," such as we find in 2: 11; 11: 47; 12: 18, 37, etc., hut simply the word meaning "work," "deed," "business," "the things that men can do with the power that man posses- ses," in the case of (Christians, with the power that God gives them. That will I do, that the Father may he glorified in the Son: â€" "Every an- swer to prayer He gives will have this as its object: when there is no prospect of this object being ob- tained, He will not answer. It fol- lows as a matter of course that this must be with us, as with Jesus, tho essential element in our petitions' the glory of tho Father nuist be the aim and end, the very soul and life of our prayer." If ye shall ask anytliing in iny nunie, that will I do: â€" "To ask in the name of one is to use his name as a plea, as a recommendation why our request should bo granted. It is sinking pcr.sonal claims nnd ad- vancing tho rhiims and merit.-; of an- other. If ye love mc, ye will keep my commandments:- There are won- derful privileges in tho Christian life, and precious promises, to all who believe in tho Lord Jesus; but there are also obligations. Of course, if we do not love tho Lord Jesus, we are not his; if wo do truly lova him, wo shall love to do what he nsks us to do.

Question: â€" "I would be pleased to know tho best fertilizer to use for early sweet corn on light soil. Have been using 4-8-(}. This land is light. Would it be wise to add 500 lbs. of tankage to a ton of fertilizer?" â€" R. J. P., Simcoe County. Answer: â€" We would recommend that you use 2-12-10 fertilizer. This would be in addition to barnyard manure and I believe would be bet- ter adapted to sweet corn under your conditions than 4-S-6, since light soil is notably short of phos- phoric acid and potash. I note that you inquire regarding the use of 500 lbs. of tankage to the ton of fertili- zer for corn. This would prolong the supply of nitrogen, but I doubt very much whether the increase would pay for the investment. If 1 had any other recommendations to make for your condition, I believe it would be 4-8-10 or 5-8-7, preferably the latter, instead of 2-12-10. This recommendation would be made only on the assumption that you did not have much manure to use on this crop. 5-8-7 at 750-1,000 lbs. per acre should give you good results versity, which mentions that straw iiiu.v be turned into manure by the on sweet corn. y. Question: â€" "There is a note in 'Tho Country Genllemaii,' for Feb- ruary, 1!I37, (page 80) on 'Making addition of a nitrogen fertilizer and l.iuK', and the pile kept moist for a period of two or three months. Ho then states that the same thing can bo accomplished by spreading the straw on the field and ploughing it undci' with the fcrtili/.cr and Lime. Also that such crops as mature rye, cornstalks, etc., may be similarly treated and iiloughed under, anil that "a good crop of mature rye plough- ed under with .^OO lbs. of nitrogen fertilizer and the same amount of Lime will produce an etTcct equal to that of ten tons of animal man- ure." The part about it which is confus- ing is the mi.xturc of Lime and nitro- gen fertilizer together in tho pile or in the ijround. Will you not lose large quantities of nitrogen? If we can do this, why do we not mix our Lime and fertilizer in the drill? I never thought I could do this, and to be sure, asked one of your men (I think an O.A.C. man), who was donionstratlng soli lesling at the ploughing match at Merryvale Farm (F. P. O'Connor's), a couple of years ago, and his answer was an emphatic "No." Also a table given in Ontario Department of Agricul- ture Bulletin 322 (192C), page 37, states Lime should not be mixed with Ammonium Sulphate, Barn- yard manure and most of the nit- rates." â€" D. F. McK., York County. Answer :-Regarding the making of synthetic manure, I wish to say that this is an accomplishment of recent years. Various formulae are used, but the one which has given good results following an investigation by Missouri Station is as follows: Ammonium Sulphate, (20 per cent nitrogen), 45 parts by weight; Superphosphate 20 per cent (P205) 15 parts by weight; Lime (pulver- ized), 40 parts by weight. This mixture is applied at the rate of 150 lbs. to the ton of dry straw. The purpose of adding the chemi- cals is to speed up the rotting pro- cess. The rotting of the straw is caused by bacteria and other microorgan- isms. The straw serves as food and energy for these organisms. The nitrogen and phosphoric acid are necessary for their growth and activ- ity, and the Lime neutralizes the organic acids formed during decay. The compost piles consist of a layer of straw one foot thick and about 10 feet square. Sprinkle on this layer, about one fifth of th« mixture of chemicals to be used, then spread another layer of one- foot straw, repeat until all the chemicals have been used. .Make the pile with a sort of saucer top to it so that it will catch and hold water rather than shed it. After the com- post heap is made, it should be kept well supplied with moisture by sprinkling with ajjose or some other means. If v/ater can be added so as to hasten the rc*ting process, the manure should be formed in four to five months. One ton of dried straw will produce about 2% tons of wet manure, at a co.st of approxi- mately 70 cents a ton of wet man- ure. This .synthetic manure has been found equal or superior to barnyard manure in increasing crop yields. Other plant materials, be- sides stiaw can bo used tor compost In fact, a mixture of corn stalks, weed, etc., can be used. Mixed in the quantities recommended, it has been found that there is not the loss of nitrogen that one would expect because the Lime is relatively inac- tive chemically and functions only as an acid neutralizer. Sulphate of Ammonia and Superphosphate will hasten decay of the straw nnd of course help balance the plant food content of the manure. I do not remember tlie instance, but undoubtedly I was the spokes- man at the Ploughing Match on Merryvale Farm. What I had in mind was mixing of active lime with barnyard manure. This would cause the liberation of free nitrogen if lime was added in any large iiuan- tity, through excessive bacterial ac- tion. With regard to adding lime to commercial fertilizer, the addition of this lime would cause reversion of |||ovde-radio ^Sossip By DOROTHY Hal Iloach isn't content with keep- ing audiences giggling at his two-reel comedies.

The quotation from Bul- letin No. 322 is correct, in that it is not good practice to add active lime to Ammonium Sulphate, barn- yard manure or moist nitrates. The addition of lime to tho two pure chemicals will cause each one to lose nitrogen as it will when added to. manure. LONDON. â€" say MacDonald, Right Hon.
