It is to demonstrate that side of Scotland which is Britain's playground. The exhibits will range from tartan goods to liner models, -- an inquiry bureau will give visitors information about holidays in Scot- land. : ; "In the evenings lectures, concerts and dances will be given, and films of Scottish life and scenes will be shown. The Duke of Montrose and the Master of "Semphill are among the lectures, and Miss Jean Bruce will deal with the primitive home industries of the Hebrides. Many improvements have heen made in recent years in the catering for motorists wishing to visit the Highlands, and visitors to Great Brl- tain will no doubt find extra incen- tives for going to Scotland from the fact. that the King and Queen are to spend a week in Edinburgh in July, when they will stay at the famous Palace of "Holyrood hofise and hold an afternoon drawing-yoom and a garden party.

Sunday School Lecran Lesson, X. (22).--June 3. Jesus in the 'Shadow of the Cross.--Mat- thew 26:1-75. Golden Text. He went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me, neverthe- less, not as I will, but as thou wilt. --Matt, 26:39. The Lesson in its Setting. TIME.--Thursdey, April 6, A.D. 30, the day before the crucifixion. PLACE -- Bethany, Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives, PARALLEL PASSAGES -- Mark 14; Luke 22; John 13:1-38; 14:1-18: 217. "Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night" The shadow of Gethsemane is begin- ning to fall on Christ's own spirit, and he knows how it must fare with men unprepared for what is coming. "For it is written." Christ, who found the Old Testament an anticipatory biography, quotes from Zech. 13:7. "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad." Jesus was tke Shepherd 'who was about to be smitten, and he foretold the scattering of the sheep. "But after I am raised up." Once more, as so often before, our Lord foretells his resurrection, "I will go before you into Galilee." Still the Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord would precede his little flock, as an Eastern shepherd goes before his flock and does not drive it before him. _ "But Peter answered and said un- to him." Peter, the bold, the im- petuous, the outspoken; who may have said only what all the others wanted to say, but did not dare to. "If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.' There was in Peter's words a vanity which would set him above all his brethren, even above the sainted John and. the valorous James. They might forsake the Master, but he never would! Yet he was the one who did. "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee." Our Lord's earnestness Edinburgh this summer, should have carried a double warn: is used.

Of course: veg :lehles must be "erisped" in very cold, water, but for the first washing to remo « the sand and grit you will find (hat tep d water does the trick in half the time. { Spinach, leaf lettuce, brocecli, all the root vegetables, asparagus and beans are more easily washed in water that is luke.warm or even warmer. Warm wdter should be used to spray house Hlants, in order -to re- move the accnmulation of dust from the leaves.

The cooking time is shortened there is less loss of food value, and their color is pre- served when they are started in boil- ing water, IN GELATIN DESSERTS Moulded gelatin desserts and salads as well as those frozen in moulds are easily removed from the moulds for serving if they are plunged into a pan of hot water for a few seconds, They should be kept in the hot water just long enough to melt the gelatin or frozen mixture against the metal of the mould, and this won't take even a minute, You can hasten the rising of your rolls if, after they are shaped and in the pans, you place them in a cup board near & pan of steaming water and close the door tightly. The moist warmth will penetrate the dough and make the rolls rise quickly. This is particularly well worth keeping in mind whea making ice-box rolls be- cause these take double the time for rising that ordinary rolls do.

"That this night, before the cock crow." "Before the cock crow twice," says Mark 14:30, Peter, who was Mark's informant, accord- ing to tradition, would remember the exact words. "Thou shalt deny me thrice." As actually happened; read Mark 14: 66-72. - "Peter saith unto him." "He spake exceeding vehemently" (Mark 14:31) "Kven if I must die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. "He wanted to set out at once for martyrdom in Jesus' behalf! "Likewise" also said all the disciples." The disciples trusted themselves: they did not mean to fall. wd "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a, place.icalled = Gethsemane." "Gethsemane," means, significantly, "an oil press." Our Lord went there that night primarily for prayer before his terrible ordeal, and-also to separate from his trouble the kind- ly family who had given him their hospitality for the last supper. "And saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray." "There are some acts of life in which every one of us must be alone." "And he took with him Peter and ! i first prayer, but because he meant it the two sons of Zebedee." These 1 were James, who was to be the first martyr among the disciples, and John, " the disciple whom Jesus loved," as he designated himself in proud and glad humility. : "And began to be sorrowful and sore troubled." The reality of Christ's sufferings sets forth more clearly the greatness of his love. "Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death." No one of us can imagine the awful weight of the world's iniquity pressing down upon the, pure spirit of the Saviour. "Abide ye here, and watch with me." It was a very human feeling that Christ showed, this need of compan- ionship) in his sufferings. "And 'he went forward a little, and fell on his face." Thus he showed his utter abandonment to grief and en- treaty. "And prayed, saying, My Father." Always, however bitter the cup extended to him, he knew that it was in his loving Father's hand. "If it be possible, let this cup pass away from me." By "cup" through- out the Bible, is meant "fortune" or "fate," coming woe or coming joy. "Nevertheless, not as T will, but as thou wilt." These were the two points of his prayer. -- 'If it be possible' and 'nevertheless.' "And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping." Sleeping with the Son of God agonizing for them only a stone's cast away! "And saith unto Peter." Peter was the one who had made the loud protesta- tion of fidelity. "What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" "In the last great service Peter did not fail him, for Peter was crucified for Christ. James, too, laid down his life for him, and John went into exile in the isle of Patmos. Where they all failed was in the lesser thing in the duty that was comparatively small, . "Walch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." We must either be Christ's soldiers, or the de- vil's slaves, "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh. ie-oxeakl" How ready was Christ to make allowances! "Again a second time he went a- way, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except: I drink it, thy will be done. Iissen- tially the same as the fivst prayer, u them sleeping, for their eyes were not because Christ did not mean the so much, "And he came again and found heavy. Not even their Lord's ten- der remonstrance had served to a- rouse them from their slumber, and keep them awake, "And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, say- ing again the same words." We read (Luke 22:43) that at the height, of Christ's agony "there appeared unto him an angel from- heaven, strengthening him." "Oh, what do you offer to the dear Lord in his garden of Sorrows? "Then cometh he to the disciples." His hour of trial was over and his conflict was won, but still he longed for companionship. "And saith un- to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest." "Such unconcern, thrice re- peated, was surely as much a denial as that of St. Peter afterwards; and the depressing sense of the disciples' frailty. and lack of sympathy must have added no little to the bitter load of sorrow which the Saviour had to bear." "Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into Bean Weevil Dislikes predominant in Canadian the hands of sinners." "Jesus had come to his hour, He was the central figure in the supreme paradox of time. "Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me' "We have a suggestion here of the calm- negs of true courage. Canadian Winters The bean weevil is unable to sur- vive when exposed to. winter tem- peratures in Canada, says Alan G. Dustan of the Dominion Entomolo: gical - Branch, Accorrdingly beans should be stored in unheated grana- ries or seed houses where the tem- perature inside the building will closely approximate that outside. In. festdéd seed should never be planted without previous treatment. If beans contain weevils, they should be fumi- gated with carbon bisulphide. "The greatest care, however, must be exer- cised in the use of carbon bisulphide as the fumes are poisonous to human beings and quickly ignite and explode when brought into contact with fire in any form, Athough this fumigrant | can be purchased at most seed houses or wholesale drug stores, its use should be confined to expert and ex- perienced men, Neighbors Neighborliness is a trait that is character, Perhaps it is because the small town forms the background for so many Canadian lives and it is in the small town that neighbourliness reaches fits highest development. Yet, even in the crowded cities, there iu--just below the surface--a golden vein of neigh- horliness. The sums raised in cities for unemployment relief, and the splendid response to benevolent ap- peals, attest the existence of a feel. ing of affection und responsibility for those whg live nearby, All too often we hide an interest in others behind a mask of assumed in- difference, We are afraid someone will think us soft and sentimental, Never has there heen a time in the history of our vation when true neighborliness was more important. Never has there been a time when our neighbors need our help and in- terest as they do now. Bow Bells Broadcast 0 mellow bells, O bells of Bow! To me you show the soul of London.

The Celtic embroideress o ago had a very high social sta taking her place among the 'poets a scribes, and ladies of the highest rank were considered unaccomplish- ca without this art, writes Mairi MacBride in the Glasgow Herald, These early embroideress their own ornamental threads, which werg often silver and gold, and the threads along with their needle they carried about with them in a leather bag or basket which they kept for the purpose. The earliest needle was made of bone or bronze , but later needles were made of steel, and as they were difficult to make, they were expen- sive, so expensive indeed © that the price of one embroidery needle was one ounce of silver, which today would be about equal to one shilling and sixpence. N SCARF OF CELTIC PURPLE As the spinning wheel was not in- vented till the fifteenth or sixteenth century the thread was spun with a djstaff and spindle, and was then woven on a hand-loom . Weaving in those days was practised to an art, very beautiful designs being woven into the cloth, and as an artistic ac- complishment, muny ladies designed and wove their own ornamental and elaborate scarves, in which the famous Celtic purple color was much in evideace. The finest of linen was woven at so early a date that the time when it was first used has been lost in antiquity. The sum paid for weaving a piece of cloth for a garment was one-tenth the cost of that garment, but there seems to have been no record of how much the dressmakers get for making the garment, although we know such "4 person was employed . Menton js made in one record of a dressmaker who sewed. with even , regular stitches." No individual craftsman or woman was permitted to practise till his work had been examined at a meet- ing of the chiefs. In cach district there was a head-craftsman or { I pod uvwow handicraft, This person presided over all those of his own craft in the district, and a worker had to be ex- amined by this sage before he or she was allowed to practise. In this way precaution © were, taken to secure competency in all handicrafts and keep the standard of work at: a ver: high level. : The design for embroidery, or for any of the crafts, was first modelled on a leather pattern or designed on parchment, then placed within the leather pattern was a very useful de- vice, something similar to a modern book jacket. In it was placed the design of the needle woman so that she could more easily verform her handicraft by having the leather pat- tern before her. It also helped to keep the design clean and intact. According to the Brehon laws, a woman was fined if she kept, cop- ded, or injured in any way the leather pattern of her neighbor's handiwork. This suggests the ability of the needlewoman to work out her own designs" and indeed this would be a necessity, since transfers were unknown. A GENEROUS CUSTOM It was th® custom in those days for one woman to bless the needle- work, spinning, or weaving of an other woman, and a fine was im- posed on anyone who being the first to see a finished piece of work neglected to bless it. A leather pattern similar to that used by the ancient Celts would prove a boon to many a modern needlewoman as indeed would the basket or bag for holding the threads. The Celts excelled in leather work, and the skins of goats sheep, calves, and wild animals were used for this purpose. Among the prin- cipal articles made from these skins were leather scoops leather pat- terns, leather satchels to protect manuscripts shoes , jackets, and coverings for wicker-work boats known as curachs. These curachs were often light in weight and wéte made convenient to carry overland if necessary. St. Columba sailed from Ireland to Tona in a curach, and a bay on that famous island is still known as Poart a'Churaich. ARTICLES O LEATHER The art of tanning appears to have been thoroughly understood in those far-off days, and the leathdq: for shoes and jackets was tanned with oak bark and so hardened that a leather jacket was a recognised protection in baitle, All articles of leather were elaborately designed and ornamented and where nec- ssary were sewn together by means of thonging, Dyed leather seems to have been the fashionable color as more specimens of leather dyed red have been found than of any other color. ; Today the skins of calves, pigs or cowhide are mosts often used for embossing and modeling, toward either better times or disase ter."--Harry Elmer Barnes. sr spun "The world is moving along rapidly f a) -- So, gw rt oe NE EN Ca Ee RR TTA NERY TL pe
