Garden Work
For March
need of tonics and other
medicines in the spring of the
Soar is due largely to the lack of
vegetables in the winter diet. If
greens and, leafy foods were
daily throughout the year
money would be spent for
merfirfnes and doctors’ bills and
would be less suffering from
of the ills that are con-
atantly with us. Green vegetables
valuable in the diet because
supply mineral substance
mad vitamins.

Irish potatoes, radishes,

Lesson for March 21: John 17:-
18-26. v I
Crelden Text: John 17:11.
Jesus and his disciples had
probably left the upper room
wfaan he paused on the way to:
Gethsemare and the round-about
way to the cross to pray for the:
dSadples.
First, he asked God to glorify
tSce Son and confirm his work—
that the Son might glorify God,
laid that it is eternal life to know
God and the One whom he has
aent, and commended the disci-
pfes because they had kept his
award and believed that he was
sent of God.
Then Jesus prayed for the dis
ciple^ and for all who should be
lieve through their word. This
pcayer includes ourselves as the
Mtest fruits of the witnessing of
disciples and of their succes-
. In Hebrews we read that
ever lives to make interces-
*4>n for us. Jesus also prayed
his disciples might be one,
he and the Father are one.
cannot refer to unity of ec-
dfesfastical organization—it refers
to onity of life and spirit.
These petitions and the prayer
that the disciples might be where
Be was to be could all be an
swered in the answer to the last
petition—“that the love where-
wfiEEr thou lovedst me may be in
them, and I in them.” With the
tffefne love and Jesus himself
dNreltlng in their hearts the dis-
opfes could attain unto all good
