Place -- Both Jesus' teaching and Site intercessory prayer here recorded recorded were uttered on the way to the Garden of Gethseman-e, either in the City itself or in the valley between the city and the Mount of Olives, or in both. "But now 1 go unto him that sent toe; and none of you asketh me, Whither Whither goest thou?" The isolated questions questions of Peter and Thomas (13:86; 14 are not inconsistent with these words. Those questions were not aak- e<! witii a view to" the Lord's glory; and much had been said since which might have moved the dsciples to a persistency of inquiry. But their thoughts were bent upon their own Immediate loss and no one asked how this departure affected him; so completely completely had their own sorrow absorbed absorbed them. "But because 1 hâve spoken these tilings unto you, sorrow hath filled yqur heart." Pour times in John's Gospel. does the word sorrow occur, Ml of them in this chapter (see also W, 20, 21, 22). ' Nevertheless I tell von the truth. is expedient, for you that I go away tor it 1 go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if 1 go, 1 Will send him unto you."

The tenses are past, b ' the main reference assuredly assuredly is prophetic; we infer that here, as so frequently in this prayer, the Lord is speaking ay if the iuture, Which lay germinating in the present Was the present, already. "1 pray not that thou shouidest take them from the world, but that thou shouidest keep them Tom the evil one," Talit is only evil to us, which qua hurt the soul (Psalm 121:7) all the Other things, which we may think evil, and call evil, shall work together tor our good. The evil .hat can hurt the soul shall never come night our d welling.' No evil, no hurt, no loss, no «spiritual evil, can ever more prevail to injure the soul of any child of God, whether : it arise from the, evil one, Or from the hatred of the world, " or irom our own poor wretched, fallen mature, or from the dominion or the consequences of. sin. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." Though we yere born in the world, and live by the Substance of ih ■ world physically, tire educated in the world's schools, and transact business in the world's markets, yet we are delivered from the dominion of the ideals of the world (Rom, 12:2). We, by our faith, la Jesus Christ, have victor,, over the evil temptation of the wo'dd (1 John 6: ..i'ctity them: in the truth; they jjpord is tru'h." The, petition in verse ES may be said to be a negative one, That in t his verse is the positive side dt the same idea, (Of. 10:36).

"As thou didst .send me into the world,' even so sent I them into the world." God's one great concern for - world was that, it should be saved; W achieve this tremendous purpose, lie bM the Lord Jesus into the world. This same purpose in the heart of t Ck>d remains today, and it is to this cud that Christ sends us into the world, though of course our work in accomplishing God's plan is not Identical. Identical. with the work that Christ did. "Ond for their sakes I sanctify my- eçlf, that they themselves also may lie sanctified in truth." Christ made the truth actual in his own incarnate life, and his victory over sin and over tjha world, and hia own holiness, are t»; he: appropriated by us by the very Spirit of Christ who lives witiiiti us. "Neither for these only do 1 pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word." The word of the disciples here referred to. their work and testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ, the witness which they gave to his saving power. (See 4:39; Acts 1:8, 22). "That they may be all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and 1 in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that tliou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given nie, I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one. "I in them, and thou in me, that they' may bo perfected in one; that the world may know that thuo didst send me, and lovedst them even as thou lovedst me." No human brotherhood can exist apart from the common bond of the individuals to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian unity should testify to its divine origin. origin. '"he unbelief of the world ii not occasioned, is largely strengthened and hardened by the disunion of the Christians. The glory of the Son, given given him by the Father, can be nothing nothing else than the Father's love; that love which constitutes us sons in Christ. "Father, i desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with Me .where I am, and they may behold the glory, which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation foundation of the world. ' The will of Christ for his people includes two things, that 'hey should be "ith him where he is (see 12:26; 14:3); and that they should behold liis glory. "O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, bu' I knew tilde; and these knew that thou didst send me." "And T made known unto them thy -name,-.and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be hi them, and I in them." All of Christ's redemptive work, all of his teaching and intercessory work, everything undertaken in tile marvelous, marvelous, unfathomable divine program Of having men terminates in the perfection perfection of love. What could be conceived conceived more glorious, more exalted, and more satisfying even though we cannot cannot fully comprehend it, then such a divine purpose for üs as this -- that the love wit > which God loves his only begotten Sou might be in us, transforming us, energizing us, abiding abiding through the endless ages of eternity, eternity, from which nothin**- will ever be able to eparatc us (Rom. 8:38, 39)?

The FARMERS COBWEB Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL With the co-operation of the Various Departments of the * Ontario Agricultural College 1, Question:--'1 have a lot of wood ashes. Would it do to put on land now or would it leach out too much? I intend to put it on vegetable vegetable and root crops. Also, can you tell me anything about Gypsum or land plaster, as it is commonly called called ? My father years ago used to sow it on red clover and on the turnips turnips when nicely up. He said it kept the fly off. Does it help vegetable vegetable growth? I used to put it on my cut potatoes to dry or keep them from bleeding' as it were, since we had to cut them quite awhile ahead when putting in 10 or 12 acres. I have not been able to get it the last few years."--- T, C. F., Peel County. Answer:---I would not advise you to put wood ashes on the land at this time. Too much available plant-food would leach out before, growing time. Rather store the wood ashes so that neither rain nor snow can fall on it, and in the spring put it on the plowed ground and work it in by discing and harrowing. You are quite right in putting this on vegetable vegetable and root crops since it is relatively relatively high in potash. It contains about thirty per cent lime which will tend to keep your soil sweet in reaction. reaction. Gypsum is sulphate of lime, while Limestone is carbonate of lime. As you indicate, Gypsum use to be used in large quantities. It did not correct soil acidity, but it did let loose the potash out of the soil. That is why the crops were improved in yield and quality where it was applied, but its use is not to be recommended since its action in liberating liberating potash resembles very closely the writing of cheques on a limited bank account. Gypsum does not put back any plantfood into the soil, but it does help let loose highly valuable potash. This is why it used to be considered valuable to dip cut potatoes potatoes in Gypsum. The potato crop is a lover of high potash fertilizer since potash is instrumental in forming forming the starch which fills the potato potato tuber. You would do better to put your money into fertilizer suitable for potatoes potatoes rather than put on Gypsum which depletes your soil of potash. 2.

In his address- at the joint Rig Brother annual meeting, held here he deplored the, mistaken idea of parents and teachers in the past that a pupil who did not shine in academic subjects was '.necessarily "dumb." "We have been holding up to our ÿoung peope for many years," he said, "that the matriculation examination examination is the be-all and end-all of our secondary schools.
