Malang His Last Stand The ivory-billed woodpecker, king of Its tribe. Inhabiting the great cypress swamps, probably ia making its last stand in Florida, says Nature Maga zine. The last breeding record of this giant woodpecker was made by Dr. A. A. Allen, who found a pair nesting In central Florida in 1024. It is now against the law to kill this fine bird. The last stand of the Carolina paro quet was made In Florida. This beau tiful little parrot was once abundant but waa shot and trapped In such quantities and so persistently that not one has been seen for many years. The bird Is now undoubtedly extinct “Fuss and Feathers" in Presentation at Court In order to he presented to the Court of 8t.

Ordeal by water is so generally regarded as be longing to medieval times that it Is surprising to read of resort to It in an American colony as late as 1708.

Ford Offers New De Luxe Sedan The grand climax of the tlx months* lessons is reached In this one. To miss the significance of the crucifixion of Christ will be to render valueless all the preceding lessons. It is not a matter of learning the lessons taught by a great teacher or imitating the examples of a great and good man, but of apprehending^the atonement made by the world’s Redeemer. I. The Plaee of Cruetflxlon. (w. 38, 34). They led Him away to Golgotha, a hill north of Jerusalem, resembling a skull. He was crucified “without the gate” (Heb. 13:12). At first He was compelled to bear His own cross, but when physical weakness made it impossible for Him to continue, they compelled Simon the Cyrenean to bear it for Him (▼. 32). In order to strength en Him for the ordeal before He was nailed to the cross, the soldiers of- ered Him a stimulant of vinegar mixed with gall. He refused the stimulant offered and consciously drank the cup of sin to Its bitter dregs. II. Gambling for ths Clothing of the Lord (vv. 35, 38). It was the custom for the soldiers who had charge of s crucifixion to receive the garments of the one cruci fied. We have here s fulfillment of Psalm 22:18. What sacrilege tor them to gamble for His setmless robe un der the very cross where He was dying! III. The Accusation (V? 37). It was custosMry to place over the victim on the croee his name and In dicate his crime. This superscription wns placed over Jeans by Pilate to vex the Jews. He was their King In absolute truth. They had long looked for Him and now. when He had come, this is the kind of treatment they gave Him. IV. Twe Malefactors Crucified With Him (v. 38). We are not told who they were, Perhaps they belonged te the bend of Barabbas. This was another fulfill ment of Scripture (las. 53:12). In these three crocaes we hive set forth n spiritual hlatory of the whole world. V. The Dying Savior Reviled <w. 39-44). Thia reviling waa engaged in by the passerby, the chief prieets, the oertbee, elders, snd the malefactors who were crucified with Him. 1. -He saved others, Himself He cannot save” (v. 42). Thla Jest was meant to show the ab surdity of Jesua' claims, but it demon strated them and showed the reason for His suffering. He could not save Himself and others, so He chose to give 111 nisei f to save others. 2. “If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross ’ (v. 42). His refusal to abandon the cross established His rightful claims. The devil offered Him the kingdoms of the world If He would escape the crosa (Matt. 4:8-10). Through His death He came into His place of king- ship over all who Jw>w to Him. 3. “He trusted in God. Let him deliver him now” (v. 43). His obedience unto death was the sacrifice which met God’s full ap proval. VI. The Death of Christ (vv. 45-50). Who is sufficient to comment upon this tragedy! Let us contemplate It in adoration and wonder. So shock ing was this crime that nature throw around the Son of God a shroud tliat the godless company could not gaze upon him. Darkness was upon the land at noonday. Upon the termina tion of the darkness, He cried with a loud voice, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’’ He became sin for the world arid the world’s sin' hid God’s face from Him. God for sook Him, turned from Him who had taken the sinner’s place. God was dealing with sin on the innocent sub stitute. No one can understand that but God, but we can believe. When the price of sin was paid, He cried out with a loud voice, showing that He still had vitality; that His death was not from exhaustion, but by His sovereign will. He yielded up the ghost snd sent away His spirit A steam locomotive le eely 10 per cent efficient The average human brain, accordltkg to mariy psychol ogists. la even lees efficient.

Doctor Hrdllcka lays, the pow er of the brain for sustained thinking will increase many fold.
