The Last Day With the Dis
ciples, Luke 22:7-38, for Sunday
May "a.
Christ teaches in this lesson the
fact that the laying down of his
life was the climax of his earthly
work, and that this is what he
wishes to be remembered above ev-
erything else.
v. IA. "And when the hour was
come, he sat down, and the twelve
disciples with him." There is an
hour that come to every one when
he must lay down his life; it is a
good thing to say or do something
helpful with a lasting memory.
v. Is. ''And he said unto them,
With desire l have desired to eat
this passover before l suffer-" Je-
sus' whole nature longed for the
occasion as a dramatic setting forth
of the significance of his mission.
v. 16 "For l say unto you,
will not any more eat thereof, un-
til it be fulfilled in the kingdom of
God" Here Jesus indicates that
this is his last earthly meal with
his disciples. The deepest fellow
ship is here indicated.
v. II. "And he took the cup
and gave thanks, and said, Take
this and divide it among your
selves" Jesus implies that when
the kingdom of heaven is finally es-
tablished on the last great day, this
Sacrament which he was establish
ing would be set forth in divine
completeness, and men everywhere
would understand it's full meaning.
v. 19. "And he took bread and
gave thanks, and brake it, and
gave unto them, saying, This is my
body which was given for you; this
do in remembrance of me-" This
Sacrament was simple in that the
simple elements of bread and wine
were used which elements became
significant when taken as symbols
representing his shed blood and
his broken body. We may learn
also that when Jesus touches hum
BILE things, he invests them with a
sacramental significance.
v. 20. Likewise also the cup
after supper saying, This cup is the
new testament of my blood, which
is shed for you" At the cost Of his
life Jesus established new COW
enant, a new religious relation be-
tween God and man having for
giveness of sins as fundamental
v. 21, %. "But, behold the hand
of him that betrayeth me is with
me on the table. And truly the Son
of man goeth, as it was determin-
ed; but woe unto that man by whom
he is betrayed" God @fOreknew what

imply any compulsion in bringing
it about. Judas and the Pharisees
gave expression to their own de.

their wickedness.
v. 23. "And they began to in
quire among themselves, which OF
them it was that should do this.
1t was to their credit that they die
not begin to accuse each other. Self
examination is of prime import
ance.
w. "a. "And he said unto them
The kings of the Gentiles exercise
lordship over them; and they that
exercise authority upon them are
called benefactors." Among the
Gentiles those who has the heaviest
hand and had the greatest influence
were accorded the greatest honor
People bowed down before them
and called them benefactors be-
cause they feared them and desir-
ed their favor.
v. 26. "But We shall not be so;
but he that is greatest among you
let him be the younger; and he
that is chief, as he that doth serve. "
In the kingdom of God, only those
who serve are called great. The
outstanding virtue is humility
Those who seek greatness in the
Kingdom never achieve it.
V. 27. For whether is greater,
he that sitteth at meat, or he that
serveth? Is not he that sitteth at
meat? But / am among you as he
that serveth." God honors the man
who is eager to be a bond servant
for Christ's sake. Christ points to
himself as an example of humble
service.
v. %. "Ye are they which have
continued with him in my tempta-

times, his disciples who being ig-
norant, selfish and contentious
nevertheless aided him.
v. 29. "And I appoint unto a
kingdom, as my Father hath ap-
pointed unto me-" In this and the
next verse Jesus is thinking OF the
future life.

Few Anglers Reod Books on Fishing,
Resorting to Eosier Quicker Means

Few fishermen take time to read
books which explain the finer points
Of the sport. Hardly one in a
hundred owns q book on the subject.
Perhaps it is because the earlier
writings on fishing were inadequate
for the average angler and the first
of the modern books were expensive.
During the past few years the
better books have been within reach
of all, but fishermen still have
failed to show any real interest
30 it is evident that they do not
follow their pastime as do devotees
of other sports.
Possibly they consider their need
Is filled by the many magazines,
news columns and the guides usually
available at all the better fishing
spots.
Big Help to Anglers.
An example Is the ninth edition
Of the Stuart Fla0 Fishing Guide,
with enough information in its
l0S pages to thoroughly familiarize
q visitor with the area 50 that he
may find the fishing Of his choice.
Earnest Lyons has managed to
cover well the various types of fish,
ing, both fresh and saltwater. Any
one planning to fish on the Florida
East Coast will do well to consider
the St. Lucie River country-they
would undoubtedly do so after per-
using this guide which is obtainable
by a request to the Martin County
Chamber of Commerce.
In the 80 years since we first
1lshed the mouth Of the st. Lucie
we have returned often for nowhere
have we found any fishing to top it.

Acted Just in Time.
Frank Forester, well-known author
and sportsman, wrote early In the
'80s that the dawn of the goth cen
tury would find stream fish and
game extinct east of the Rocky
Mountains.
He failed to take into considera-
ton the American way of using
lavishly of what we have until it, Is
nearly gone and then working equal
ly hard to bring back what we have
nearly lost. His statement almost
was borne out.
It was a decade after the turn of
the century before progressive States
realized how close to extinction
wildlife was and began to do some
thing about it. Those separating
their fish and game departments
from politics attained their ends
quicker and easier.
Last year the Maryland Legisla-
ture passed a single bill, which
shortly will produce visible evidence
of q real advance in conservation.
1t gives unlimited powers for the
new commission to set seasons and
creel limits and the control of Wild
life.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Chalk up an
other record for Willie Hoppe, the
man whose name has been synony-
NOUS with billiards for more than
20 years.
And if running up 27-o lead last
night before his opponent could
score is an omen of things to come,
chalk up another world three-cush-
ion title-Hoppe's third in row.
Since the tournament is sched-
uled to close tomorrow night. many
things might have led to his rec
ord achievement against the vet
eran Jake Schaefer last night
Maybe he grew weary of sharing the
tournament lead right down to the
finish.
Anyway, the 53-year-old Hoppe
stunned Schaefer and spectators
alike by forcing an intermission
call in IA innings. He got the re-
quired Is points in that time de-
spite three blank frames.
The first inning after the inter-
mission Hoppe made it 81. Schaefer
finally clicked in the same frame
and played on virtually even terms
the last half of the match, which
went Al innings before Hoppe
clinched the decision, so to %.
Hopes high run was five, but
he had three clusters of those and
two more of four in winning his
sixth game against one defeat. The
victory also was good for the un-
disputed lead when Joe Chamaco
Of Mexico City bowed to Welker
Cochran, so to IS, in 80 innings.

He takes Victor Ghezzi, the lanky

fooling, just as they were not fool

GhezI were smart to get into serv-
Ice as soon as possible"
Great Chance for p. G. A.
Witty thinks the P. G. A. has a
great chance to become the top golf
organization in the land by failure
Of the United States Golf Associa-
ton to schedule its championships
this year.
Their cancellation makes the P.
G. A. championship the big tourna-
ment of the year" says Witty.
Heretofore the Open championship
has been the big one, even though
the money wasn't big enough. But
that won't be played this year. And
particularly since the P. G. A. has
boosted the prize dough 1t will be
the big tournament of the year"
Witty himself isn't strong for
match play among the pros. Sew
eral years ago he announced he had
played in his last P G. A. title tour
ney at match play. But he is a
booster for the Pro Golfers Associa-
ton and wouldn't kick If they be-
came the top body of all the links
associations. There's lot of truth
In what he says, too.
The P. G. "A. championship always
has been a colorful show and hasn't
had the attendance it deserves. Now,
with all u S. G. A. championships
out this year. the P. G. A. is the
only big one left Also it will have
q purse of $4,000, with top money
of $5,OOO There's more than a
probability it will be the toughest
of all tournaments to win with that
money on the line, and with
