Passion Predicted.

In His communication with His disciples
concerning the elimination OF the events
in Jerusalem that. although He naturally
dreaded death, caused Him to press on
ward with .unflnching courage, Jesus
gives us an intimation of His three great
offices-prophet, priest and king. 1t is
the prophets function to foresee and
foretell coming events. On two former
occasions our Lord had foretold how He
was to be killed and rise again. He now
outlined how He was to be delivered TO
His enemies, condemned by them to
death, delivered to the Romans. mocked,
scourged. spat upon. crucihed and rise
from the dead upon the third day. Every
one of these distinct events that He FORE
tod-all-came to pass
He was moving rapidly on to Jerusalem
to give His life a ransom for many.
The Masters prophecy did not end with
his sufferings, but against that dark
BACKGROUND He revealed His power and
showed forth His coming glory by pre-
dieting His resurrection. The disciples
did not understand the deep significance
of His approaching end Although. as
Luke tells us. that all these things had

There they can sing the praises of God
for others as well as for themselves.
And they should not fail in mingling
their voices in the greater congregations
when the older Christians worship. They
are gladly welcomed there, and they are
needed there for their own good and the
good of the church. We cannot measure
the addition to the Christian ministry of
music that would be made by all the
young Christians mingling their voices in
the songs Of the Sabbath and midweek
services of their respective churches.

Before the invention of writing the only
way to preserve the history OF important
events was to transmit the memory of

AMAZING AMERICAN
MURDER Rate

Minneapolis Journal: Nearly 5000
persons were murdered in the United
States in 1913. This exceeds the ag-
gregate number OF murders in any ten
civilized countries, Russia alone eX-
Cepted. A Georgia judge has said from
the bench that there are more homi-
cides every year in his own state than
in the whole British empire. Georgia
has less han 5000, 900 in nabitants,
while the British empire has over AGO.

7, 900, 900, had twenty-three murders in
a veal as compared with 14S in New
York City, whose population II 5,00O,-
900.
This DrOpOrtiOnate murder rate is
so great that we have among us for
ty-three murders to Canada's one, n
seven murders to every one that &C.
ours in the worst country in Europe.
Consider another set of facts: For
the 148 hOmicides that occurred in New
York City, there were but thirteen
convictions. In Louisville, out Of for
ty-seven homicides in 1910. there vas
not a single conviction. In n year
Chicago, with 202 murders committed,
but one conviction was secured
The connection between these two
sets Of facts is obvious. Murder Is
punished by death in the British en-
pire, throughout civilized Europe in
fact. And justice there is swift. Fear
of death keeps down the homicide rate.
The American people are not more
depraved than Europeans. We are not
a bloodthirsty race, taken altogether or
in parts. Human nature here is eXact-
ly what it is everywhere. Environ
ment induces violence or checks it.
The environment Of the frontier, so
conducive to violence. we scarcely have
any longer. But the murder rate has
not diminished on that account. Some
factor then remains in our environ
ment that is still conducive. That
factor can be no other than the COM
parative impunity with which murder
can be committed. The chances are
against the conviction of the murderer,
and are nue. more greatly against his
being executed.
why do the chances so favor the
murderer? Because Of the nature Of our
criminal procedure and because Of
popular sentimentalism. The last is
