Wheat a to less than $1.00 per el, cattle to 6 cents per pound, butter to 31 cents per pound. But the farmer’s living costs did not decline so abruptly. For three years he struggled against a combination of difficulties which would have driven less Gradually, however, the far- mer worked himself out of depression, and to-day, the Canadian farmer is regarded as the most successful 3 in the world.

The band is ready and will-| ing to play in any part of the town; where suitable accommodation is provided. If we had some place more central where-the public could come and sit In their cars and enjoy the concerts we could possibly give concerts alternately, one in the park and one in.ths centra! part. If it could ‘he arranged for a platform to be put on the vacant lot west of the postoffice, a foot off the ground, and if Mr. Malcolm would “give ,per- mission for cars'to park on. his “ot across the street, it would bring the concerts back down town for a week night concert. Then have your Sunday night concerts in the park, as usual. This would give the older people a chance who have no cars and cannot go up to the park and eit with their feet in the long, damp grass, or stand for an hour or more in the dust, which at times is thick. Perhaps a few benches could be added and placed around in front of the sign boards and around the sides and add a Httie beauty to ‘the lot. This could possibly be accomplished by consulting the Viking # Poster Service. These. benches could be painted to conform to the color acheme of the sign boarde which have added considerable to the ap- pearance of the one time vacant lot. It would also make a downtown resting place for the tired public on a hot day in summer, who could not walk up to the park. -Although the lot lacks shade trees, etc., it would be ‘a resting place. If it is the in- tention of the board of works to fix up Pioneer Park this spring for a tourist camp why not put up a suit- able band stand in the park. One that the citizens would be proud to say was a band stand. I remember yeare ago when Listowel could boast a band stand where the mem- orial now stands. Why not another euch stand in the park? The pre- sent stand was repaired last 6ummer and a few feet added to its propor- tions: The year béfore a few feet were added and today we have a etand herdiy safe for twenty or thirty men to go up on. Every town with. no better band than we have and some not as good, if I do say it myself, have a band- stand worth while, large enough to accommodate a band. Why not*spend a few dollars and make something that will attract the people, and the band wil! do its share. A Bandsman.. Man Hangs Himself— Blora, May 3——The cee of Charles Beuerlein, aged 65, was found hang- ing from a beam in a barn on the farm of his brother, George Beuer- lein, at Salem, one mile from Blora, this evening. The discovery was made by his brother, who had been employed in Elora all day. The two men were bachelors and Charles had acted as housekeeper. The latter is described. as g Keen well-to-do and of exemplary \Habits, although suffering a nervous affliction, and his action in taking his own life is attri- buted to hie ailment.

Golden Text. Behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salva- tion (Zech. 9:9). There are five distinct and im- meneely significant incidents, each carrying its own teaching in this} chapter. The first is in verses 1-11, in the incident ordinarily called the triumphal entry. But was it a triumpha! entry? As the Lord prepared to enter Jeruea- lem He sent two of His disciples to @ nearby village to bring Him an ass that they should find there, “and a colt with her’ (Matt; 21:2). Mark explaine that the colt was one “whereon never man sat.”’ The Lord carefully instructed His disci- piés how to make sure of bringing the animal with them if they should be challenged by the question “Why do ye this?’ The answer was to be “The Lord hhath need of him.”’ The disciples went and found the asé and the colt. They were challen- ged, they made their reply, they were allowed: to go their way. It has been suggested that the owner of the ass may have been a disciple, who instantly recognized the’ Lord’s mes- eage. And the riding peacefully on an unbroken colt, through the shout- ing multitude, was.a miracle. Plainly it betokened Christ’s supernatural power over the created world, ani- mais as well as wind and sea. (Mark 4:37-41). As our Lord rode on the colt into Jerusalem, the City of David, He was greeted by many,,..epreading their garments in the way, setrewing branches of trees before Him, and shouting their. acclaim. But who were the multitude? Luke tes us! “The whole multitude of the 4disci- ples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice....Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; ptace in Heaven;-and-gtory in the highest” (Luke 19:37, 38). Ap- parently then, it was not the general populace, but e great number of fol- lowers of or beHMevers in Christ. Mark says they cried out, “Blessed be the Kingdom of our Father David, sean cometh in the name of the | their, empowered representatives in ghia { evil world, and be able to work miracles even as their Lord. But ear es must be cleansed of un- bas sormniee others freely (Ys. 19- : 3 Plainly comes a lesson. in. the anthority of Christ..and the heip- ‘fessness of those who oppose and re- ject Him. He is challenged by the rebellious priests, scribes and eklers: “By what authority doest Thou these ithings? and who gave Thee the auth- ority to do these things?” The King of Kings and Lord of Lorde asks them a single question. Was. the baptism of John from Heayen or of meh? They did not know; and if they did know they did not dare to answer. They were afraid to 6ay that it was either from God or from men, for they knew the consequences | of either reply. Being rebels against. God, they were cowards. Christ, who knew their hearts, knew this. In terrific condemnation He gays to them. “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.” It was a etinging rebuke; they were routed; but there is a worse judg- ment awaiting those mén, and all who reject Christ and defy God, at the judgment of the Great White Throne. Sent Up For Trial— “A despatch from Stratford to the London Free Press reade: “On: two charges. involving failure to ‘turn over tunds entrusted to his keeping, R.G. McFarlane Listowel lawyer, wae sent up for trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction.”’ It was a triumphal entry so. far as those who.recognized Christ were}. @oncerned, but by no means any| triumph of the Lord In relation to; the great city as a whole. the fulfilment of the prophecy - Zechariah 9:9; “Rejofee greatly, O daughter of Zion: shout, 0 daughter | of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee; He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal It was, of an ass.” The King had come toj the royal city, but not as a King; meek and lowly, recognized only by tion that should have welcomed Him. The same King is coming again to the same cHy, but how differently! The account in Revelation 19:11-16 should be read aloud in class; Hea- ven is opened, a white horse comes, and sitting upon him is One bearing the name “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.” The armies of Heaven follow Him upon white horses. That will be the real triumphal entry; the passage in Revelation describes the coming of the Lord at the Battle of Armageddon, after which He will establieh H's throne in Jerusalem, and Pealm 24 will be fulfilled, as the gates. lift up their heads “and the King of glory shall come in.”’ The next incident ie that of the barren fig tree (ys. 12-14). The fig tree. is a type of Israel; bearing no fruit such as God has a right to ex- pect, it is under a curse to the end of the age. Then comes a foregleam of the Kingly power and the iron rule of David's Greater Son, who is not only the Lamb of Goil but aleéo the Lion of the tribe of Judah. In etern temple the traders and moneychang- ers who were defiling the house of God (vs. 15-18). The result of the Lord’s cursing of the fig tree gives opportuunity for a lesson to the disciples on faith. If only they would “have faith . in God,” they might indeed be Christ's | he: | THE HIGHWAY ! A \¥_ to public regard is paved with the performance .
