THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORE, THURSDAY, MARCH 11th, 1937 UNDAY CHOO| FSSON LESSON XI Jesus Praying For His Disciples -- John 16:1-17:26 Printed Text John 16:5-7; 17:14-26 GOLDEN TEXT -- "That they may be one, even as we are.-' -- John 17:22. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The discourse and prayer tn these two chapters were all uttered oa Thursday night of Passion Week, April 7th, A.D. 30. Place -- Both Jesus' teaching and his intercessory prayer here recorded were uttered on the way to the Garden of Gethsemane, either in the City itself or in the valley between the city and the Mount of Olives, or hi both. "But now 1 go uuto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?" The isolated questions of Peter and Thomas (13:36; 14:5) are not inconsistent with these words. Those questions were not asked with a view to the Lord's glory; and much had been said since which might have moved the dsciples to a Knjrsistency of inquiry. But their thoughts were bent upon their own Immediate loss and no one asked how this departure affected him; so completely had their own sorrow absorbed thorn. "But because 1 have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart." Four times in John's Gospel does the word sorrow occur, all of them in this chapter (see also vs. 20, 21, 22). 'Nevertheless 1 tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you." The word here translated "expedient" is the same word used by Caiaphas, tha high priest, in speaking about the necessity for one man's dying for the people (John 11:50; 18:14). "Tho high line of politics." said Caiaphas, is that we get id of him. The higher line of God's policy said Jesus is that 1 go. Thus all the folly and wickedness is at leant resolved into the harmony of the divine -overnment and the divine authorit. "I've See Deut. 18:18, 19; Mai. 2:4, 6; John 7:16 5:24). 'And the world hated them, because they "e ..ot o." the world, even as I a*'i not of the world." The tenses are past, b ' the main reference assured:.,' is prqphetic; we infer that here, as so frequently in this prayer, the Lord is speaking as if the future, whic<i lay germinating in the present *'( pruy not that thou shou.uest take them from the world, but that thou ■houlut:si keep them rom the evil one." Taht is only e»-il to us, which can hurt the *,oul (Psalm 121:7) all the other things, which we may think evil, and call evil, shall work together for our good. Th,- evil hat can hurt the soul shall never come night our dwelli^. No evil, no hurt, no loss, no Spiritual evil, can ever more prevail to injure the soul of anv ch'ld of God. whether it arise from the evil one, or from the hatrtd of the world, or from our own i'>or wretched, fallen nature, or from .he lominicn or the eonseqi'ences of sin 1 am not of the world " Though we were born i:i il. world, and live by the suj.siance ot it world physically, world's schools, ; ia the world's dalive ed from ideals of the 'e, by our faith, victor, over the That in 'his va . ; Is the positive side of the sam: id (Cf. 10:36). The word of God i:. i is Son < the d:sc!o~ lire to men ot i .-ri.al truth; truth as to his oris::i. [ .«itioo,. destiny, the truth as to hit clationship to God himself and his (on, Jesrs Christ; as to his eiatoush? to brother m«n, his place here, his ": ope for the future. "As thou didst send me iuu world, even so sent I them into the world." God's one great concern for the world was that it should be saved, to achieve this tremendous purpose, he sent the Lord Jesus into the world. This same purpose in the heart God remains today, and it is to this end that Christ sends us into the world, though of course our work in accomplishing Gods plan is not identical with the work that Christ did. "Ond for their sakes I sanctify my self, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." Christ made the truth actual in his own incarnate life, and his victory over sin and over the world, and his own holiness, are to be appropriated by us by the very Spirit of Christ who lives within us. "Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe oi 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 I in thee, that they also may be in that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given unto them; that they may be one, even we are one. "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be 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 i-part from the common bond of the individu&ls to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Christian unity should testify to its divine origin, ^he unbelief of the world If not occasioned, is largely strengthened and hardened by the disunion of the Christians. The glory of the Son, given him by the Father, can be 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 of the world.' The will of Christ for his people includes two things, that hey should be Mth him where he is (see 12:26; 14:3); and that they mid behold his glory. 'O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, bu* I k"ev thee; and these knew that thou didst send me." 'And ' made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that -tir-s-tove ifhcrevviH, Mum iouo.l»t --«_ may be «n them, and I in them." All of Christ's redemptive work, all of his teaching and intercessory work, everything undertaken in the marvelous, unfathomablo divine program of having men terminates in the perfection of love. What could be conceived more glorious, more exalted, and more satisfying even though we cannot fully comprehend it, tb-n such a divine purpose for us as this -- that the love wit . which GoJ loves his only begotten Sou might bo in us, transforming ls, energizing us, abiding through the enuless ages of eternity, irom which no'.hin" will ever be able to karate us (Rom. 8:38, 39)?

Question:--'I 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 and root crops. Also, can you ne anything about Gypsum or land plaster as it is commonly called? My father years ago used to t on red clover and on the turnips when nicely up. He said it kept the fly off. Does it help 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. 1 have not been able to get it the last few years."--T. C. F., Peel County. . Answer:--I would not a.lvise you to put wood ashes on the land at this time. Too much available plantfood 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 and root crops since it is relatively high in potash.

You will notice that these are in terms of pounds per ton of manure. Poultry manure is double as rich in nitrogen as horse manure, three times as rich in phosphoric acid and about the same in potash as is horse manure. If poultry manure were to be used a'or.e on <-rs'P crops or on such cro- s, it would tend Nl IRES md Valw of Manure 1 is dairy st, loose the potash out of the soil. That is why the crops were improved in yield and quality where it was applied, hut its use is not to be recommended since its action in 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 iet loose highly valuable potash. This is why it used to be considered valuable to dip cut potatoes in G-'psum. The potato crop is a lover of high potash fertilizer since potash is instrumental in forming the starch which fills the potato tuber. You would do better to put your money into fertilizer suitable for potatoes rather than put on Gypsum which depletes your soil of potash. 2. Question:--"I am seeking information regarding the comparative values of the various farm manures such as poultry, sheep, swine, etc., as fertilizers. If you have available any information in respect to this, please send it to me as soon as possible. Also is it a fact that poultry manure is too strong to be used alone. I understand it can be used without harm by florists. I shall be very glad to receive this information." -- C. O. H., Wenworth LCounty.

It can be easily balanced by adding superphosphate or better still, a phosphate-potash fertilizer, such as 0-12-10 or 0-12-15. Florists value poultry manure highly on account of its high nitrogen content. This is also true of sheep manure which florists and Lorraine Bridges, featured film player, wearing her new one-piece bathing suit of coral knit, featuring white cross straps in back.

He would just make pictures when he felt like it, and spend the rest of his time lying on the beach at Santa Monica or taking leisurely trips to England. But after watching his work in the new Grace Moore picture, Columbia officials didn't like his idea at all. They decided they must have him under contract. No one has ever been known to win an argument with Jack Colin, the grand mogul of Columbia Pictures, so Cary signed the contract he offered. Back in New York all the young stage players and all the dramatic school students go to see Greta Gar-bo in "Camille" over and over. Two girls who are living on a tiny budget that permits eating only now and then and never riding on a street car or bus, had gone every day for six days and seen the picture at least 14 times. They were broke and hungry, but they felt they just had to see it again. So, they screwed up their courage and told the manager of the Capitol Theatre ow much they were learning from watching her, and he arranged to let them in free.
