With barley It required over 4.00 pounds, &ts slightly over GOO and corn about BOO. To bring barley to maturity tho Station estimated that It required about thirteen Inches of water as rainfall, oa$s about nineteen inches, corn about twenty-six laches. Although loss wa ter is require 1 to manure a pound of tfbrn, the greater tonnage to tho acre requires the larger total.

In my college days we were incited to make the Idl est possible ccqulsdtlo'is of what hau been learned and th iught by great scholars and to attain tho' cu';(ir3 which ruch achievem at brought us In theso days; the ulUxaio end whlca tho student ia exhort-! to seek c.ve. and above and beyond those acq i.;-I-tiens Is the power and tho parsicn foi discovering new truth.

The Good Shepherd giveth Hi life for the sheep." that we may know Jesus as the Christ, the Son of (Sod, and, receiving Iliin, have life, li the Golden Text of the quarter and the summary of the gos pel. That we may have life He laid down His lift for. r.s, bearing our sins in His own body, suffering in our stead, us we have soon in recent losnons. , Lls:o.v IL The raising of Lazarus (John xi, 32-43). Golden Text John xl, Vo, "Jesus" said unto Ler, I am the resurrection and the life." He who vol untarily laid down His life for us, for no one could take It from Him (x, IS), has power to recall the absent rpirlt find give life nnd health even & such a corrupting body ns that of Lazarus. Marvel not, for the time is coming when nil that are In their graves shall Lear His voice and come forth, Lnssox III. The supper at Bethany (John xil, 1-11).

A mere fonn of life can be en dured ccn by the ivil, but renl life, abundance cf life, wells faid rivers of living water, how few am endure! Lessor; IV. The entry of Jesus into Jerusalem (John xli, 12-LNh. Golden Text, Matt, xxi, t, "P.lesed is Ho that cometh in the name of the Lord." One great truth In this lesson Is tho literal fulfillment of Scripture by Ilim of "whom Moses Jn tho law and the proph ets wrote. In the volume of tho book it Is written of Ilim, lie is the substance of every shadow, the reality of every sacrifice, truly the Messiah of Israel, the King of the Jews, tho King of kinr3 and Lord of lords. Lrspcx V. Jesus washing the disci ples' feet (John xiil, 1-14). Golden Text. Gal. v, 13, "By love serve ono another." He knew that He had come froai God cud was going back to God, and Ho would teach Ills disciples, to whom Ho Jiad given the glory which tho Father gave Ilim, that while here in humilia tion, waiting for the kingdom to come, wo must not in nny way seek our own greatness, but humble ourselves to wr.lk with God. Lzssox VI. Tho vine nnd the branch es (John xv, 1-12). Golden Text, John xv, 8, "Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit." The fruit is borne by the branches, but It is the vine that docs it through the branches, nnd the branches simply abide, subject to the care of the husbandman. When the Christian life i3 understood there Is a freedom from all anxiety nnd yet the growth and beauty of the lily and the frultfulness of the vine. Lesson VIL Jesus prays for Ills fol lowers (John xvll, 13-2G). Golden Text, John xvii, 0, "I pray for them." Not only doc3 Ho give us His own Spirit to live in us, teach us, guide us, comfort us, but lie assures us that It is nis life secur.es our life and that He ever llveth to make intercession for us (John xlv, 10; Rom. vili, 34). ne docs not save us to take us out of the world to heaven, but to leave us hero as Ills witnesses, kept by Ills power Leesox VIII. Jcsu3 before Tllate (John xvlll, 2340). Goldea Text, John xvlil, 37, "Every one that is of tho truth hcareth My yolce." By His suf ferings He made a full atonement for Bin, even the sins of the whole world. End to this we can add nothing, but Ills conduct before Tllato and while ia the hands of Ills enemies teaches us how we should net before our enemies, for if "wo are truly His and living god ly lives wo will be hated by the world and find many enemies. Lesson IX. The crucifixion (John six, 17-30). Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 8, "Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures." The hour came for which Ho came Into the world, and He became a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is every one that bangeth on a tree." Happy indeed are nil who, see ing His sufferings, truly say, "For me," and, receiving Him, cry gratefully, "Chrl3t hath redeemed me from tho curse of the law!" Lesson X. The resurrection (John xx, 11-23). Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 20. "Hut now is Christ risen from tho dead and become the first fruit3 of tliem that slept." Tho resurrection is that which makes all else cfTectlve. for if He be not risen there 13 no one saved, nor ev er will Ikj (I Cor. xv, 14-10). If He is not the risen Christ He is nothing, not even a good man, for He said that Ho would rlso again the third day. Put Ho i3 risen, nnd Oal. II, 20, may be the lan guage of every believer. Lrsr-orr XL The message of the rlsea Christ (Rev. i, 10-20). Golden Text, Hew I. 18, "I nm He that llveth and was dead, and, behold, I am alive for- evermore." This is ills testimony as He appeared to John in Tntmos over sixty years after Ills return to the Fa ther r.s our ever living High Priest ministering to Ills peopla. He lives; Ho ever llveth. Lesson XII. The heavenly home (Rev. xxlL 1-11). Golden Text, Rev. ill. 2L "To him Aat overcometh will I irrant to sit with Me in My throne." If redeemed by His precious blood, we are In conflict with tho world, the flesh and the devil, but while waiting for the kingdom and living to hasten it we may make manifest in our lives a sam ple of it by seeing His face, servlnjr Him only and reflecting His glory. iW'i!.-.i .
