The announcement by Jesus that one of the disciples would betray him to his enemies filled the company with amazement and dismay. Nothing so inconceivable had ever fallen on their ears. Not knowing what this "betrayal" could mean, they allâ€"Judas includedâ€"protested, sayâ€" ing, "Is it I%° Surely you cannot be speaking of me!" V. 20. Jesus does not name the traitor, nor give any hint who he is. He contents himsel{ with the stateâ€" ment that the traitor is one of those who now recline with him at the table. V. 21. He repeats what he had so often said before, that the Son of Man has to suffer and die, but he dwells sorrowfully on the awful fate of the man who, being his follower, gives him up. When he says that "it were good for that man that he had never been born," is he referring to the tragic results produced by remorse for such an act? What tragedy is so awful as a remorse which can never find relief? I!. srsus MAKES THE LAST SURRENDER 1. THE soON OF GOD NOT ONLY REJECTED, BUT BETRAYED, 17â€"21. V. 17. Jesus had earlier in the day arranged for this last solemn meal with his disciples. The Passover Feast had become very holy and dear to him in his earthly life, and he longed for one other opportunity to observe it with his disciples, Luke 22: 15, 16. If this meal was the Passover meal, his hope was actually fulfilled. But if, as many scholars think, the meal which Jesus actually partook of with his disciples fell on the evening before Passover, his wish was not granted. He died, according to the Fourth Gosâ€" pel. on Passover Day. C ANALYSIS. L. THE SON OF GOD NOT ONLY REJECTED, BUT BETRAYED, 17â€"21. II. sEsuUs MAKES THE LAST SURRENDER To con, 22â€"25, 32â€"36. InTRopuctionâ€"His rejection by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, thogh inflicting a deep and awful grief on the soul of Jesus, was not the bitterest ingredient in the cup which Jesus had to drink. "Sorrow‘s crown of sorrow" came to him when at this moment one of his own chosen followers, in whom he trusted, went over to his enemies, and betrayed him. It will always be a mystery why Judas stooped to o inexplicable a crime. His act, whatever be the explanation, marked the full culmination of the Saviour‘s cup of £ief. And so we understand better the meaning of the great surrender which Jesus made at the Supper and in the Garden. Flesh and blood shrank from the last terrible agony of betrayal and crucifixion, ut Jesus knowing that it was the Father‘s will that he should drink the cup, gives up his own will June 3.

Seventyâ€"one million dollars is placed as the total value of logs and bolts for domestic manufacture, the raw material of the sawâ€"milling an dallied industries. These logs and bolts head the list of products for Canada as a whole. Ottawa.â€"Canada‘s total estimated value of primary forest products for 1926 is 204,436,328. The amount repreâ€" sents a decrease of 2.3 per cent. over the estimated value for the previous year. Of course it will be objected that England, Canada and Australia show up remarkably well because of the prevalence of branch banking in those countries. There are in the Englishâ€" speaking world approximately twentyâ€" nine thousands smaller banks, the great majority of which are in the United States. Nor is their role in the financial scheme of things a minor one. Nevertheless we must admit that in banking there is powerful and worthy competition in other lands which speak the same tongue as ours. Forest Products $204,436,328 Eleventh in rank is the Bank of ; Montreal, and twelfth is the Bank ot| England. Twentieth is the Commonâ€" wealth Bank of Australia, and two | other Austrian banks are found in the ‘ first eighty. A Liverpool bank ranks twentyâ€"sixth and one in Manchester is , thirtyâ€"fourth. The colonies and doâ€" minions are not the rather weak lands which the more ignorant Ameriâ€" can sometimes carelessly supposes. Though it is true that London and New York dominate the list, the fact that the ninth, eleventh and nineâ€" teenth banks are in Montreal and Toronto, the thirteenth in San Franâ€" cisco and the sixteenth and twentyâ€" first in Chicago shows that other centres are great reservoirs of funds.| Ninety American banks have someâ€" what more than nineteen billion dolâ€" lars on deposit, whereas only sixty banks in the British Commonwealth of Nations have more than eighteen and a half billlions. The five largest banks are all located in London. Of the five which come next, one is the Royal Bank of Canada and another is the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In other words, if this semiâ€" government institution be left out, we have only three in the first ten. Year 1926 Shows 2.3 Per Cent. Decrease as Comâ€" pared With 1925 Perhaps it is wholesome in this period of our rapid (the U.S.) financial growth to be reminded that other Englishâ€" speaking nations possess banking inâ€" stitutions as large as or larger than those of which we boast. The newsâ€" papers are so filled with accounts of purchases and amalgamations, and the size of our major banks is so fully dwelt upon that the importance and magnitude of similar concerns in other parts of the Englishâ€"speaking world are but scantily realized. A recent compilation by the California Bank of Los Angeles of one hundred and fifty of the largest American, British, colonial and dominion banks is strikâ€" ing evidence of the banking power of these countries. desires his disciples to be with him, but the point has come where they can no longer share the awful experiâ€" ence on which he is entering.

Saying, "My soul is mortally stricken with grief," he leaves them and passes on into the thickenin‘r shadows of the darkened garden. here at last the final surâ€" render of the Son of God takes place.

According to that way of thinking, the idea of abolishâ€" ing war without the provision of "sanctions‘" is an irrational and visâ€" jlonary one, to accept which would be hypocrisy and worse. To take that view is not to impute insincerity to the American _ proposal. Fairâ€"minded French critics of it perceive that a temper of uncurbed idealism in this conection is not unaccountable in a nation whose security has never been threatened within living memory, and is toâ€"day virtually unassailable; a naâ€" tion which, being without a rival in the great continent where it is seated, hardly understands the position of The veterans maintained that there were no more carriages made, unless they were made to order. And whereâ€" as one used to pay $700 for a new carâ€" rlage toâ€"day it cannot be had for less than $1,200, There are only about three families in Montreal who have a carrlage now, and one of these, Mr. Webb said, has never had an automoâ€" bile. Â¥sher Kuffman, the other cabâ€" driver, says he does not know what the drivers will do in a few years. Sometimes now they sit all day in their cabs and not a fare comes along. When he first came to Montreal from Russia he was urged to go into the cab driving business. So he bought a hack and made money hand over fAist. He thought his luck would never change. "But," he said, "who would have thought that a cab running along without a horse would come to life and take the bread and butter out of our mouths." Many a cabman has felt the pinch of poverty in recent years because he could not get enough people to drive in his bhack to pay for his daily bread, it was revealed in an interview with two veterans of the trade. They mainâ€" tain that they are among the last of that great battalion of 1,000 "cabbles" who plied a fourishing trade in Montâ€" real up to 10 years ago. There are less than 200 cab drivers in the city today and every year the number grows less. This year there are 30 less than last year, it is stated. "Try to buy a horse toâ€"day," said the cabby, "and you‘ll find they cost three times as much as 15 years ago. They‘re just not breeding them. We count altogether on tourist trade now. They want to see the mountain and there‘s nobody gladder to take them." William Webb has driven his hack for 40 years. There was a gold mine in the business in those early days, he said; while Ysher Kuffman, a Rusâ€" slan Pole, the other veteran was told that a fortune awaited him in cab driving when he arrived in Montreal in 1905. "We use one horse now where we used to use three, said the first cabby, because today the loads are so small that the horses have no trouble haulâ€" ing. In those days we used to meet all the trains and the boats. We would fill up the cab and chargeâ€"each person 25 cents, But then the motor car came in and cut us all out. And we have to depend aliogether on our mountain trips."
