LESSON IN ITS SETTING iiie -- The ar:est of Jesus took ■ some time late on Thursday !. April 7th. A.D. 30. Christ was :: tl in the third hour of the next Friday (Mark 15:25). and he ex-I approximate^ six hours later, i would be about three o'clock af ernoon (Mark 15 33). Burial 'lace that day. tee - Christ was arested in the on of Gethsemane. which was re lower slope if the Mount of i opposite and east of Jerusa- ",-nd Pilate went out again, and he saLJ unto them, behold. I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him." If the charge had seemed reasonably, the governor wo: Id naturally have let the law take its course. That he had not done so, but brought the accused out again, was a clear proof that he held the Charge against him to be groundless. His words are an appeal at once, to the sense of humanity, and to the sense of justice in Christ's accusers. "Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple gaimen*." We cannot help but think in reading these words, of a time yet to come when the Lord Jesus, will .be seen crowned with glory and honour (Heb. 2:7, 9); when upon his bead there will be many crowns forever (Rev. 19:12); and he will be clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden - girdle" (Rev. 1:13). "And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!" Pilate spoke more truly than he knew. His words were probably tttered in contempt, but they rea.y are an acknowledgment that the only pertect man was the one who stood before them. "When therefoie the chief priests an 1 the officers saw him, they cried ou . saying. Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate saith gnto them, Take him yourselves, arid1'crucify him; for I find no crime in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because priests, he does not allow them to act for themselves -- he delivered the Lord to be crucified. "They took Jesus therefore; and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: 18. Where they cruicifed him and two others ,on either side one, and Jesus in the midst." The picture of the Son of God walking out the Holy City, the city of Melchi-zedek, the city of David, the city of the great line of prophets, his head and body 'iruised and bleeding, and carrying on his shoulder the crushing weight of the wooden cross, and knowing in his heart that shortly he would himself be stretched upon it, is a scene calling more for medita-tin than exposition. "These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary tne wife of Clo-pas, and Mary MagJalene. When Jesus therefore saw hi3 mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his ov/u home." The first cry from the cross was a prayer for God to forgive those who had crucified him (Luke 23:34); the second utterance was to the thief crucified with him (Luke 23: •'■) ■ the third cry was the one here given, words to Mary and to John the Apostle. It is reeded only in Johi.'s Gospel. By making provision for his mother's comfort, Jer:us fulfilled the commandment, "Honor thy father and thy mother" (Ex. 20:12), and thus, from the pulpit of his cross preaches to all ages^a sermon on the Fifth Com- "After this Jesus, knowing that all thing! are uow finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set there a vessel full of vinegar, so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth." The fourth cry from the cross is not recorded by John (see Matt. 27:46, 47) • the fifth cry, 'I thirst," is recorded in none of the Gospels except in John. This incident should be carefully distinguished from the one re-Matt. 27:34; Mark 15:23; and Luke 23 " m ovie-raco ; By DOROTHY ---- thought th , Susan Flemin; had retired from the screen^"^ she married Hatpo Marx, b: j, made, the mistake of stoppS. at the studio to have luncheo ... her husband, and first thing. knew the director called out, ..j girl over there--she's just have been looking for."

"When Pilate therefore heard this sa. tig, he was the more afraid." The fact that Christ was said to have claimed a divine origin naturally deepened the strange fear which his presence inspired; Pilate not only Was af."aid but he was more afraid. "And he entered into the Praetor-iuiii again." This word appeared previous y in 18:28 (and also in Matt. 27:-7 and "ark 15:16). Here it probacy means the official residence of the procurator, though where Pilate's residence was in Jerusalem during th *:me cf our L->rd is not quite cer- .d sai.li unto „esus, Whence art iiiott? But Jesus gave him no answer." (Cf. Matt. 7:6; 27:12-14). Pil-ata would not have understood our Lo d had Christ answered his question, and furthermore, thi question had nothing to do with Christ's guilt. As Pilate continued to question the Lord Jesus and a Christ quietly spoke to him, more and more the Roman official became conscious of the greatness, as well as of the innocence of the one who stood before him, and he sought again to deliver the Lord. But the Jews very shrewdly reminded him that Christ had called himself a King, that thus he was a rival of Caesar, and that if Pilate should release a man making such caims, he would not be Caesar's friend. Of one thing Pilate was certainly afraid -- offend-in gthe powers in Rome by whom he had been give nail the lucrative positions which he had held. "Now it was the Preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour and he saith unto he Jews, Behold, your King! They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, and crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall crucify your King? The chief priests angered, We have no king, but Caesar." About six o'clock on Friday morning, Pilate brought Jesus out, and, himself sitting down on the Judgement seat, presented Christ to the Jews as their kiug. It is strange to hear Jews, who chafed under the yoke of the Roman government, and whose true king must needs be of the line of David, so easily forgetting all their past history and their present shame as to say they would have no king but Caesar, as uncircumcis-ed, pagan, godless Gentile. "Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified." In none Of the Gospels does it appear that Pilate pronounced sentence on Jesus; he perhaps purposely avoided doing so. But In delivering; him over to the ment of Psalm 69:21. The vinegar was a sour wine drink made by the soldiers. The branch of hyssop was from a plant possibly one and one-half feet high on the end of which the sponge was placed. In his love he suffered men and women to minister unto him and at the last received gently and humbly this solace from a foe. ' When !esus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished, and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit." This is the sixth cry from the cross, and is found only in John's Gospel. So many men have come to the end of life conscious that they have not at all completed the work they had expected to do. Victor Hugo said: 'Life is too short for a man to carry out all that he has planned.' Danton, about to be guillotined said: 'I leave it all in a frightful welter.' 'It is Christ's declaration that the final revelation of God has been given, that all alienation between God and man has ended, that all other religious rites and ordinances are abrogated, and that henceforth there is only one Mediator between God and man, 'he man Christ Jesus.

Dr. Louis C Kress, assistant director .if New York State's division of cacer control, said at a meeting of health officers that 16.000 women die yearly of cancer of the uterus, and 14.000 from cancer of the breast. "Them's a namby-pamby attitude that prevents plain talk about this enemy of mankind " Dr Kress said.

Question:-- "Will you please tell me what can do for Cut Worm or Wire Worm "--H. H., York County. Answer:-- Almost every Spring cutworms do cons.derable damage to corn, cabbage, tomatoes, tobacco and some other crops by cutting them of at the ground. The insects work n: night and hide by day just beneath the surface of the soil or under rubbish or any good covering. They are stout, smooth caterpillars and when at rest are usually curled up into a circle. To control them 1'se a poison bait. There are several formulae for this but the following is about as good is any:-Bran Paris green or fine white arsenic . .................. Cheap molasses ................ Water enough to moisten, i.->out Brai . 25 lbs. 3 gals, 5 lbs. • fine white Paris green arsenic ....................... 3 °zs Cheap Molasses ................ % qt. Water enough to moisten, :il'out ..................... % gal. Mix the bran and Paris green thoroughly until the green can be seen everywhere through Hie bran. Add the molasses to the water, stir, then pour the sweetened liquid over the poii.med bran and mix until all is moistened and will fall almost WV.c sawdust through the fingers. If the plants have been set out and are being attacked, drop a small quantity of the bait--one-quarter of a teaspoonful--alongside each plant. Do this late in the evening i,o that it will be fresh when the woims begin to feed. If the plants have not yet been set out and cutworms are known to be in the soil, prepare the ground well and then an evening or two before setting out the plants, scatter the bait thinly, as one would do in sowing grain, o\er the plot or field. The cutworms will feed upon this and be killed before they can do any damage One application is usually sufficient to control any ordinary outbreak and when scatiered thinly, the larger quantity will cover about one acre.
