Place. â€" The triumphal entry was made aa Christ came over the Mount of Olives on the east of Jerusalem. The washing of th,e disciplea' feet took place, of course, in the upper room in Jerusalem. 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast. These were Gentiles, citizeiis from Hellas, or their descend- ants living throughout tha Mediter ranean world who had become prose- lytes 0/ the Jewish faith and. once a year wfaen possible, came up to Jeru salcm, in order to worship there at the feast as the Hebrews worshippeC 21. These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee. They came to Philip "not only because he had a Greek name, and therefori pre- sumably belonged to a family in which Greek was spoken and Greek connec- tions cultivated, but because, being of UethSAida of Galilee, ho might be ex- poctofl to understand and speak Greek, if, indeed, he was not already known to these strangers in Jerusalem.'' And asked him, saying. Sir. we would see JCBUB. At the birth of Jesus, wise men came from the East to behold the Lord (Matt. 2:1-12); now. at the end of our Lord's public ministry, there camo men from the West, speaking the (auguuge identified with loarning uiid scholarship, asking lh:u tliey might see Jesus. 22. Philip Cometh and tolleth An- drew: Andrew cometh. and Philip, and they toll Jesus, ".\ndrew'' is an- other Greek name. "Andrew solves his diOiculty in the way ia which all diflicultivs cf disciples are resolved. referring thtm to Jesus himself." 2:!. And Jesvs ansv.oreth iheni. saying. The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Pre- viously it has been said that ''his hour'" had not couie (2:-!; T:30; S:20l. The hour in the lite of fhrist was the hour of his death (13:1; 1G:32: 17:1K - of course not a literal time of sixty miiiulcs but. !iovortho"<>.:s. a brief period. • 24. Veri.y, vi-ril.v, 1 say ur.t(> you. Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die. it beareth much fruit. There are four things that can happen to a grain of wheat: it can be hoarded, with the possibility of ulti- mate destruction by mould, mildew. or rest; it can be immediately con- sumed, in various forms, especially as bread; it can be ignored, and there- fore lost fo;- :ill purposes; or it can be sown in the ground, thus multiply- ing itself, the highest use' to which it can bo put, 25. lie that loveih his life loseth it; and he that hatcth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal, the word twice translated "life" in the first part of this verse is the word "psuche" (from which comes our word â- psychology"!, a word that inclcdts all muu's mental, sensual being: thi' word translated ' life" at the end oi' the vorse is the word •'i.oq." a word referring to the higher life which i.> in won, the spirit.

If any man serve me, let him follow i:ie; and where I am, there shall also by servant be: If any man serve me, him will the Father honor. Christ himself is the great example of denying one's own life; it we are to truly serve the Lord, then. In his sacrificial ideal, we are to follow him, with the result that whoever serves the Son, will be honored by the Fa- ther. 27. .Vow is my soul troubled; and what shall I say" Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour. There is no shrinking from the cross here, but a glorious determination to endure it in the consciousneB.i that, for that hour, he had come into the world. 2S. Father, glorify thv name. There cams therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. "It is the high- est utterance of faith, love, and hope, that wiiate^'er experience of pain s ordained, the outcome may be all to the glory of the name of God." 29. The uiuttitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it. said that it 1 thundor.-d: others said. An angel hath spoked ti) him. "For th mass the voice was mere sound. The appre- hension of a divine voice depends up- on man's capacity for hearing. Others felt that the Ltterance was artic late, though tiiey could not hear the wordi^." :!0. Jesus answered and said. This voice huth not come for my sake, but for your sakes. "The voice came to test their faith and to str ngthen it; and. at the same time, to make clear the importance of the crisis reveled by the Gentile request." ul. -N'ow is the judgment of world: now shall the prince of this world be ca.n out "The passion was the judgment of the world, ..ich showed both men's thoughts towards Christ, and the true position of the world towards God. Jeiv and Gentile are alike included in the sentence." 32. And I. "The position of '1' is very emphatic, and Christ, by this phrase, places himself .in opposition to the prince of this world.'

Dominion and Trade Quotas Canada has certai:ily made full use of the quotas covering Canadian 7U0- pound cattle and potato shipniMits to the I'uited Stales. Exports of both across the border had reached the quota limit last September, although potatoes coMtiuued to be sent through at the rate of tJOc per hundredweight, or 15c above the Trade Agroetnent concession. Canadian lumheru;en. however, did not take full advantage of their gen- eror.s quota allowance in the I'nited States. Trade Agreement of 250 mil- lion board feet of Douglas fir and western hemlock. Instead, prelimiu- ary figures for the year indicate that they shipped well under 200 million board feet. Mainly on the Pacific coast, lumbermen did a SlOO millions of business with the Cnited States. because of the -Vgriemont concessions. I'nder the Imperial .\greenieuts, we have .the f;unous British bacon quota. By this quota. 2.500.000 hundred- weight of Canadian hams and bacon per year may be shipped to England ' duty free. In the twelve months end-' iug November. 193t). 1,4 million hun- dredweight had been taken by British ' buyers. Reason is that the Canadian] packei's have not yet been able to • ship more, and British breaklasters : are not fond of Canadian bacon to the ing November, llioii.

Leading Students of Biology lYlovie-radio isossip Br DOROTHY Any girl who can n:ake an out- standing hit in a picture in which the smoothly expert Myrna Loy and William Powell appear is not jast good, si:e is marvellous. That ia what directors on the M. G. M. lot have been telling Dorothy McNulty ever since her appearance in "After the Thin Man" made audiences burst into spontaneous applause. In the midst of all the enthusiasm over her at the studio, everyone neglect- ed to make sure tiiat she had been put under contract, .'^he didn't mention it because nobody askled' her. And Paramount slyly came along and si^ed her up for their pictures. Many actresses aou!J be more than satisfied if they could sign a contract with Paramount guaran- teeing them four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. But Carole Lombard insisted on adding clauses guaranteeing that Teddy Tetzlaff, her favorite camerama:], would al- ways photograph her. And that Pat Drew, itudio electrician, who lost a leg in a plane crash, would always be employed on her pictures. Letters have poured into the Twentieth Cencury-Fox studios by the thousands, beg- ging that Shirley Temple play win- some little girls parts instead of the smart - aleck. wise- beyond - i'.er - years blues singer of re- cent pictures. Most of the letters came from mothers whose daughters model their behavior on Shirley's latest pic- ture. Taking their advice to heart, the studio selected "Wee Willie Winkie" as Shirley's next picture. If she does any fnittation of .\lice Faye or Tony Martin iinging, or of Bill Rob- inson dancing, it will be away from the camera.
