over, mnko three accuBatloiiB. (Luke
23:2) (a) "Perverting tho nntlon"

givo tribute to Cneaar" -treason, (sec
Mntt 17:21-27); nnd (c) "thnt he
tnaketh himself Christ, a king"
o. g., his Messianic claims. Pilate
(v. 14) seems to have dwelt upon the
first as only worthy of consideration.
I. Jesus and Pilate, vv. 13-19. This
Incident demands that wo study care
fully all that tho other gospel wrltoro
have recorded. Wo have seen tho ac
cusation recorded by Luke. Matthew
and Luko toll us of Pllato's question,
"Art thou tho king of tho Jews?" and
of tho answor of Christ claiming thnt
ho was. Mntthow records tho sllenco
of JesuB to the accusations of tho
chief priests nnd to Pllato at that
time. Luko gives us tho account of
Pllato's perplexity, how Jesus wob
sent to Herod nnd of Pllato'H second
report to the Jous. Matthew tells of
tho offer Pllato mado to rcleaso Darab
bns or Jesus and of tho message from
Pllato's wife.
Trial a Mockery.
The trial beforo Annas and Cataphab
wbb a hollow mockery. Tho Sanhedrln
was fierce In Its denunciation nnd to
ndd dlsgraco and to impress Pllato
that Jesus waa dangorouB, they led
him Into his presence. Pllato soon
b.iw tho emptiness of their charges,
nnd as wo have suggested, dismissed
all Bavo that of "porvortlng tho na
tion." Tho Roman government keenly
watched for incipient rebellions. After
examination ho declares, "I find no
fault in this man." He did not, how
ever, daro incur tho hatred and vio
lence of a Jerusalem mob, and so he
temporizes. Tho fiercest light of crit
icism declares Jesus to be impeccable,
yet men temporize. After the dis
graceful) and degrading treatment
Jesus received beforo Herod, ho again
Btands beforo Pilate, and this tlmo ho
Is again declared to bo innocent of the
charges preferred against him. This
1b tho turning point of this world's
greatest tragedy. Pllato should havo
let him go, and would havo had ho
not been a venal Judge. "Ho who hesi
tates is lost," 1b amply exemplified In
this case. Pllato waa in a worso caso
and ono whero It becamo less catty
to do right, whatever his inclinations
(Acts 3:13) may havo been, by rot
acting resolutely nt this point. It was
easy for this weak-willed man then to
yield to tho determined wills of tho
enemies of Jesus, v. 24 R. V. Pllato
found no fault In Jesus, neither did
Herod (v. 15), yet Pllato compromls
lngly sayB, "nothing worthy of death,"
hence tho suggestion that ho bo chus
tlscd and released. This is typical of tho
temporizing, compromising, fickle poli
ticians. These words at once sug
gested to tho Jews a custom of hav
ing released unto them ono whom they
choso at this period of tho year, and
they cried out, "Away with this man,
release unto us Harabbas." It was
thus that theso, his uccuserB,repre
bentlng tho nation, "denied tho holy
and Just, and deslrablo a murderer,"
Acts 3:14.
Pilate Tried to Save Christ.
II. Jesus and Barabbas, vv. 20-25.
Matthow adds to that awful cry, when
Pllato lias washed his hands In token
of innocency, "His blood bo upon us"
(Matt. 27:25). Tho other writers
glvo us some suggestions as to who
Harabbas was, and makes this choice
more appalling by way of contrast.
III. The Teaching;- This lesson la
Intended to centor itself about Pllato.
In it wo seo tho struggle between con
sclenco and personal ambition. Pl
lato was Impressed by tho words of
Christ. He told the priests and tho
multitude that ho found no fault In
him. It'appearB that up to a certain
point ho tried to savo Christ, and cer
tainly to tho end ho strove to avoid
the responsibility for his death. Sore
ly pressed he temporized and tho
conversation recorded In John 18:3338
8howB how profoundly Interested ho
was In this prisoner boforo him.
Pllato knew whom he was dealing
with as a politician, but did not know
this "man of Galileo." Ho chose rath
er to bo "Caesar's friend" than to per
form a rlghtcouB act according to the
dictates of his conscience. Pressed
by the clamor of thoso whom ho de
spised, ho sacrificed his conscicnco
rather than Incur their anger.
Tho golden text focuses the personal
application of this entlro lesson,
"What shall I do unto Jesus, which la
called Christ?" As this question fell
from the lips of Pllato it was an
appeal to those who had asked for
Harabbas. "What then vhall I do?" was
an acknowledgment of defeat, an
acquiescence to tho will ot tho pcoplo,
and a desire- to Bhlft tho responsibil
ity for tho shedding ot Innocent blood.
This is tho question of all questions
which men have to face. Men aro still
following tho course ot Pllato, either
they consent to his crucifixion or to
his crowning.

WESTERN CANADA'S
STRONG POSITION
"THE WHEAT GRANARY OF THE
WORLD," A WELL AP
PLIED TERM.
Western Canada occupies a Btionger
position today than it over linn occu
pied. Taking ono yenr with nnother,
tho efficiency of itH lands to produce,
hns been well proved. It has not been
said of It that year in and year out
there wero bumper and bounteous
crops. If such a condition existed it
would bo phenomenal In tho history
of any country. With nn uxtenslvo
territory producing grain, hogs, cattlo
and sheep, of some 800 miles wide ami
1,000 miles long, It Is easy to con
celvo of a wldo variation In tempera
turo and climate; there Is variation in
rainfall and snowfall; every section Is
uot tho best in the district somu aro
better than others and bomu worse,
but aH a general thing, tho groat per
centage iu "bettor." This past year
has shown that some portions aro not
altogether lminuno from periods or
drought. Tho samo may bo said of ad
joining states to the south. Hut this
year bus also shown thut in the
greater portion of Western Canada
drought does not appear, but even lu
tho drought-stricken area of this year,
past years havo shown that the soil
pioduces wonderfully well and oven
this year, with modern inethodB,
known as "dry-furiiilii," good crops
wero harvested. Tho largo number
of Americans who during tho past six
teen years have been attracted to
Canada havo not gono simply becauso
of tho advertising of that country, but
becauso their friends and their old
tlmo neighbors havo done well there,
and with careful nnd judicious farm
ing almost, everyone Iuib dono well.
As n result of the great Influx of
Immigration tho open or prairie home
steading area is being rapidly taken
up. The fact that this is so Is evi
dence that Western Canada lauds are
productive, and on theso open plains

successful farmers from almost every
stato In tho Union. They have earned
their patents and now own outright

the most successful onca aro those
who have followed this course.
Hut to meet tho wnntB of tho new
comer a new homestead nrcn has been
opened up, known ns tho "park coun
try." In this park country are to bo
found beautiful groves of poplar andx
willow, small lakes and streams, with
sufficient open area to enable ono to
go Into Immediate cultivation of crop,
nnd In duo tlmo when they wish more
land to be put under cultivation, they
may at small cost cut down somo ot
tho groves, which In tho meantime
havo been valuable In providing fuel
and In giving shelter to rattle.
Notwithstanding tho high character
of tho open prairio lands nnd the fact
that farmers thcro havo realized in a
splendid way, thcro i the opinion
backed up by a lot of cxporlenco that
this parkllko country contains soil
even better than that of tho opon area )
referred to.
Tho opportunities, therefore, for
money making aro ns great today ns
they ever wero. Tho opportunities for
earning on farming successfully are
fully as gieat as thoy ever Vcrc. Of
this park area wu havo an Immcuso
quantity, of land yet to bo sottled. It
Is true that tho railroads havo not yet
penetrated theso districts to tho extont
that they havo tho open area, but this
will come and as settlements advance,
so will railroads build. For tho pres
ent there is n temporary lull In rail
road building, but It Is always the
caso that where thero la a demand
there will come a supply, and It will
not be long beforo tho park country
will bo penetrated by railroads that
will glvo sufficient accommodation for
all needs, but to thoso who prefer it
thero aro lots of opportunities for pur
chasing land nearer towns and vil
lages and at low prices and on easy
terms.
Whether ono cares to purchase or
homestead It can better bo dono by
paying a visit to tho country and It
will repay you to spend somo little
tlmo visiting tho different districts.
