He is the judge and will surely give ; all possible credit that He can. He said that she anointed His body beforehand for burying, and I believe that was her purpose, that she so in- tended it, for it was her custom, when she could to sit at His feet and hear His word. She was not found with the other women who bought spices to ‘ anoint His dead body and never used them for that purpose. She seemed to understand about His cruel death at the hand of His enemies and that she could not minister to Him then, so having made her preparation, she watched for her opportunity, and He arranged it for her, for he read her heart. How awful the contrast be- Weentheheartotzudaslscariotand this devoted heart that loved Him so! There will always be some indignant ones when more than ordinary (which is ordinarily very little) is given to Him. It will be called a waste and by other names, while all spent upon ogr- selves will seem all right. Judas Iscariot is called a thief in John xii, 6, but what about the thieves f MaL iii. 8? If His love to us doesiot con- strain us to spend more for Him than on ourselves then it is evident that we love ourselves most. This was real worship on the part of Mary, heart adoration, and it was very costly on her part and very precious to His heart. We are reminded of a saying of David in II Sam. xiv, 24, “Neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing.” Some one has said that in Martha, Mary and Laza- rus we have a sample of a well round- ed Christian lifeâ€"in Martha restful service, in Mary real worship and in Lazarus the power of a risen life. As He sat at meat Mary came with an alabaster box containing a pound of ointment of spikenard. very costly, and she broke the box and poured it on His head and anointed His feet and wiped His feet with her hair (verse 3; Matt. xvi, 7; John xii, 3). Not only was the house filled with the odor of the ointment, but also the whole world, for He said in verse 9 that wherever in all the world the gospel should be preached, this that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. In View of such words as Phil. iv, 6, 7; I Pet v, 7. we should never be cumbered or anxious. The words “They made Him a supper” make us think of His post ascension words in Rev. iii, 20, and of the blessed assur- ance that if any one will open the door He will come in and sup with them. At this supper Martha served, but there is no record of her being cum- bered as in Luke x, 40, so we may hone that she had grown spiritually since that incident. it is to some confusing that, while Luke does not record this anointing, he does mention an anointing in chap- ter vii, 36-50, which was also in the house of a man called Simon, But that was an altogether different event, much earlier in His ministry and by a woman whose name is not given, whose sins He forgave. The event of our lesson was in the home of Martha and Mary in Bethany, whose brother, Lazarus. had been raised from the dead (John xii, 1. 2). Matthew and Mark say that it was in the house of Simon the leper, but what. relation he was to Martha and Mary we are not told and therefore do not need to know. If we think of it, and it seems wise to do so. we can ask them when we see them. John says that Lazarus sat at the table with Him. What a suggestive saying! The man who had been four days in the spirit world back on earth alive and wellâ€"a man whom the chief priests consulted to put to death because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and be- lieved in Jesus (John xii, 9-11). From the account in John xii it would seem that it was six days be- fore the passover and preceding the so called triumphal entry that they had. the supper and anointing. It seems impossible to arrange clearly some- times the sequence of all the events in our Lord's life, but the gospels were written that we might know Himself. rather than the order of events in' His life. is recorded by Matthew, Mark and John; the mention of the passover and of the sin of Judas by Matthew, Mark and Luke. According to Matt. xxvi, l, 2, it was after Jesus had finished the sayings of chapters xxiv and xxv and two days before the passover that He spoke of His approaching betrayal and crucifixion, and we would con- clude from Matthew and Mark that the supper and anointing took place at that time. read: of the Lesson, Mark xiv,' 1-11.

It is to the credit of all lightning rod companies in Ontario, except two, that they are following the teaching of bulletin 2220, and do not supply iron-centred rods.

In our investigations we have found that an iron-centred: rod, that is one composed of a} strip of copper twisted around an. iron or steel centre, whether the!T centre is a strip or wires or both ; is a very shortâ€"lived rod. In many cases the iron is nearly all: rusted away in from five to ten? years, leaving only the cOpper,l which is too light either to wear; well, or to carry off a flash of,. lightning without melting.
