GOLDEN TEXT--What then shall | do unto Jesus who ls called (Christ? Matt, 27 ;, 22, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING' Time--The prayer in the garden, the betrayal by Judas, and the de nials of Peter, all took place on Thursday evening, April 6, A.D, 30; all the remaining events in tho lesson occurred on the day following, Friday, April Tth, Place,--The garden in which He was betray¢d by Judas was at the foot of the Mount of Olives, opposite to and East of the Clty of Jerusalem, The trial before the Sanhedrin, no doubt, too' place in the Palace of Calaphas, The place where the trials of our Lord before Pilate and Herod took place is dit. ficult to determine. All of them may have occurred in the Palace of Herod the Great, then occupled by Pilate, or in the Fortress An. tonia, or in a palace near it. The palace at Jerusalem was situated on the North side ot Mount Zion, The place of the Crucifixion of cur Lord has never been exactly identitied. We do not believe that it was on the spot where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now stands. At least, it was outside of the city wall, and probably North of the city wall. We. always speak of Calvary as a hill, but of this thero is nq evidence in the Scrip- tures, though it may have been a hill, 2s La The charges against Jesus var fed from hour to hour. The Jews began by saying that Christ claim. ed to be a king. Then they declar- ed Jesus had stirred up the people, even as far as Galilee. (Jesus was already condemned to death by the Sanhedrin, but it was necessary to have him condemned also by the . Roman procurator,. in order that the sentence might be execut- . ed, and without delay, by him who had the power otf death). Second Time Before Pilate Mark 23 : 13. "And Pilate called together the chf- priests and the rulers and the people, 14, and said "unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found "no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: 15. no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back to us; and behold, noth. ing worthy of death hath been doné- by him. 16, I will therefore chastise him, and release him." Certainly Pilate was convinced of Jesus' innocence. If Pilate had not bs © -such a coward, so afraid of his position, afraid of Caesar, and afraid of the mob, Jesus would not have been condemncd, at least by him, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!" 18. "But they cried out all to- gether saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Bafabbas: 19. one who for a certaln insurrection made in the city, aud for murder, .was cast into prison. 20. And Pilats spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus. But they shouted, Crucify, crucify; him, 22, And he ; sald "unto. them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? 1 have found no cause of death in him: [ will therefore chastise him and release him. 23. Bt they were urgent with loud --volces, asking that he might be crucified. And their' voices pre- vailed." + Three times Pllate ex- postulate with the Jews, attempt. ing to appease thei by declaring the lunocence of Josus. It being utterly - impossible .o satisfy this mob, one of-two things shad to take place: either Pilate must stand his ground as an officer of Rome, and set Jesus [ree, no mat. der what happened, or he must be. tray his office, and give Jesus ov. er tothe mob, Hd did the latter, It was the volce of justice that should have prevailed, but Pilate softened by an undisciplined life appeared to be incapable of rising up in a noble way to defend an ingocent man. against a howling mob, 24, "And Pilate gave sentbnce that what. théy. agked for should be done, 26, And he released him ! that for insurrection and. murder had beon cast foto prison, whom they asked \for;: but, Jesus ho de- livered up to their will," Pilate's judgment was for time. The com. ing judgment of Christ will be for eternity, The Crucifixion 3, "And when they came unto ithe place which is called The skull, «there thoy crucified him, and the . malefactors, one on the right hand son the other on the left," (Notice how extremely brief the record of the crucifixion itself 1s), 84a.

Dr, Merkel said the two hearts were joined by the large aorta artéry, and beth had functioned. The ventricle of the lower heart bad ruptured, causing derth. Officers of the Jackson Coun- ty Medical Society said they knew of no other case of a man possessing two hearts. Isle of Cats One of the quecrest and most desolate spots in the world is Frigate, a low corral island 300 miles north-cast of Mauritius, in the .Indian Ocean. It-is inhabit- ed solely by cats, the descendants of two shipwrecked there some cighty years ago. They are large and fierce, and exist mainly on fish, which they catch in the mest ingenious manner. They form a circle on a dry reef reaching to the water's edge, and at low tide close in, driving, the fish into shallow pools and channels. Then they pick them out and tear them with razorlike claws. In fine weather there is no danger of their starving, for a single drive may yield a ton of fish. During violent hurricanes, when fishing" is impossible, the cats fall upon cach cther, but in spite of their ferocity, they seldom attack ship- wrecked seamen, ' By DAVE ROBBINS RADIO REPORTER I FOR GARDENERS This week we have good news from everyone who plants seeds in the soil--Dick, the Amateur Gar dener, "is back on the air from CKOC on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5.30 p.m. (daylight).

ARTICLE NO. 3 It is not the amount of labor spent that is the key to good gar- dening but rather the timing of the necessary work. There is nothing to be gained, for in- stance, and much may be lost, in working soil too early. [It is far better to have the garden dug once and at the right time than te rush in and waste days mess- ing around in the mud. Hints Nursery stock is the general name given to hardy perennial shrubs, flowers, vines, trees and roses that are grown for one to three years from seed in a nurs- ery hefore being sold to garden- ers and fruit growers. Like seed, it is important to secure such stock from a repu- table source and one that is fa- miliar, and caters to Canadian conditions. Good stcck is pliable, green and shows plenty of live buds. Roots are moist and well wrapped to exclude the air. Nursery stock should be plant- ed as soon as the soil is fit to work and if purchased before this time, or if incenvenient to plant in permanent positions, roots should be temporarily cov- ered with moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool, dark cellar and roots kept moist. First Vegetables Among the carliest vegetables to be scwn in Canadian gardens will be peas, leaf lettuce, radish and spinach, These may - be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work. All of the seeds should be sown at least three times, at intervals of ten days, so that there will be a succession of vegetables. The sccond sow- ing will be carrots, beets, onions, potatees, ete., which can stand a little frost, and then beans, corn and tomatoes, cabbage and cauli- flower plants, melons, cucumbers, ete, which are tender. mm tm Greeks Made Haggis Scotsmen, whose most festive dish is the haggis, may, or may not, like to be reminded that it is of Greck origin, Though Burns wrote of it as the "great chief- tain o' the puddin' race," Ari. stophanes forestalled him in 423 B.C., with an allusion to the same dish in "The Clouds." The Greeks called it "koila probateia," but, from the dgscription of the dish, it was haggis just the sdme, Henry 1V introduced the dish fnto the French court under the name "hachis."
