The "drive away" is not new; often I have driven cars rom e

We believed from the Beginning that a sale does not complete

their duty to the public in this respect.
I can say of Ford Dealers generally that they have been and are
of character and standing in their communities. Most of them have
been with us many years, which indicates that we agree on basic
business principles. The Company provides that the methods used

who handle it. .

SCHOOL TRUSTEES?
A few years ago it was some
what of a distinction to be elected
to the* Board of Trustees of a
school. It is still an honor but one
that calls for continuous work on
the part of each trustee. The job
at one time was merely that of
electing teachers and sitting on tho
rcstrum when the closing exer
cises were held. The order of things
Today the place on the Board of
Trustees of a school, no matter
how small, calls for the best efforts
^of that trustee. It is a position of
responsibility, a position calling for
real work, a position requiring busi
ness judgment and a position of
financing.
The recent session of the Gen
eral Assembly imposed other du
ties on the trustees of the schools.

Our lesson introduces us to one of the most tragic char
acters in the Bible, the disciple whom Jesus failed to. win.
i J •
Now Judas presents a very baffling problem to the interp
reter of human motives. On the one hand, it is easy to be
too lenient in our judgement. DeQuincejy, for example,
maintains that Judas betrayed his Master from the highest
motives, in order that Jesus might demonstrate His power,
overthrow His enemies, and reign as King. On the other
hand, it is easy to be too harsh, to picture the traitor as al
together black, with no saving grace whatever. The fact
is that he was very human. Both good and bad.
The pathos of his pitiful career lies in the fact that he
might have been a saint, but chose to be a devil. He had
the best chance in the world to make good. And he made
ship-wreck of his opportunity. Daily he stood with the
Master at the gates of heaven, but he chose hell’s path in
stead. And how many there are that follow in his wake.
Can anything he done for them? No, for God cannot save
those who wilfully rebel against Him.
We also have, in our lesson, the words of institution of
the Lord’s Supper. This blessed feast is first a memorial
rite in obedience to the command, “‘This do in remem
brance of Me.” It is also a great act of consecration, for it
is a sacrament, a word that means, in the Latin, an oath of
allegiance. Furthermore, it is an expression of Thanks
giving, a sacrifice of praise. Then, too, it is a symbol of
the united fellowship of Christendom, for all Christians
gather about the Lord’s Table. Finally, it is a Communion,
a time when we humbly, but joyfully experience the real
grace of God in Christ.
The lesson contains, too the sad tale of Peter’s denial.
If Peter, the Rock, a tower of strength, could repudiate his
Master in an hour of crisis, may it not be that you and I
will also fall? God help us to be on our guard.
