Place Not definitely known, possibly in the upper room, pos- sibly in the court of the Temple; hardly on any street in Jerusalem which had to be traversed on the way to the garden of Cicthioir.a:u . ChrUt't PrayeV for Himself "These things spoke Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven. He said, Father, the hour is come. Glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee.'' This glorifi- cation includes the acceptance of the sacrifice, the atonement made, the redemption received, the reversal of death and the overthrow of Satan. "Even as thou gavest him au- thority over all flesh, that to alt whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life." Xot all Israel only but all humanity are- 1 the subjects of Messiah. "And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ." The knowledge Christ speaks ot liere arisen from experience with God, from an understanding of God's revelation to man. "I glorified thee on earth, hav- ing accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do'." Glory was rendered upon earth by the perfect devotion of a holy human life, by word and deed and by service. Request for Glorification "And now. Father, glorify tlioa me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee be- fore the world was." The glorify- ing of the Son of Man and His assumption into the glory H had with His Father before the world, began with hi- resurrec- tion. Christ's Divine Origin "I manifested thy iiamc uuU> the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee. For the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst fond me." The" words" im- ply all the separate utterances of Christ as personal revelation of the character and will of God, convincing the believing receiver of them that Christ is divine in origin and person, and His mis- sion divine. The Divine Mission "As thou didst send m into the world, even so sent I them into the world." The son came into the world to love and re- deem men; we are to have that same love for men and point them ever to the same Redeemer. "And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." The giving up of His will to God's will in the agony of Gethseniene, and then the doing of that will in the obedience unto death, this was Christ's sanctifying Himself and us too. One In Christ "Neither" for these only do 1 pray, but for them also that bt>- lieve on me through their word: that they may all be one; even aa thou, Father, art in me. and 1 in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me. And the lilory which thou hast given me [ have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, und lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me." Notice the three stages in this prayer: the Word from the Father to the Son, from the Son to His disciples and from the disciples to an unbelieving world. When we receive the truth as it has been divinely revealed to us, when we rejoice in the things in which God rejoices, when we have tho compassion that possess- ed the heart of Christ, when our will is in perfect union with Christ's will, when the Holy Spirit 's lending us in all things, then ^re we one in Christ. Love for "His Own" "Father, I desire that they # o vhom thou hast given me be .ith me where 1 am, that they may behold thy glory, which thou hast given me; for thou lovcust <ne before the foundation of the world. righto us Father, the ivorld knew thee not, but I knew ROYAL DUTCH QUINTET ; i rincess Margriet Ftancisca, six weeks old, sits for a family portrait with her mother and father, Princess Juliana and Princ* Bcrnhart of the Netherlands, and her two sisters, Princess Irene, left, and Princess Beatrix. thee; nd these knew that thou didst send me; and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love where -vith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them." The love of Christ's heart can be satisfied with nothing less than this, that His people, the Father's gift to Him, be with Him, forever sharing his blessedness.

POP LJa./auKwl Baquet French Population Facing Starvation Famine To Follow Months of Short Food Rations After many monUiB of 9hort ra- tions, Krance will face famine iu June and July, assuris the New York Times. The peasant will be able to draw ou his stores, though they are growing smaller each season. The manual workers will stiil be able to eat if his extra food cou- pons are honored. But tUose not engaged in productive occupations 'productive for Germany as well as for France will know starva- tion, and that means the bulk of the population the middle class white-collar worker, the pensioner, tihe aged and the young. For one thiug. there will be no bread, whi^h in Frame still forms the stable food. Tlie-reason is sim- ple. The 1943 crop was mortgaged in 1942. At that time, Chief of Govern- ment Pierre Laval Uad not long returned to power with many promises on his lips but uo tang- ible German concessions in his hands. Already unpopular, he would have doomed all his chances had he spoken of restrictions. No Wheat From Africa The minister of agriculture, Jacques le Roy Ladurie he has resigned since, possibly because he dared not face the future- had enjoined that bread grains should be harvested and threshed as early as possilik- so that the interval between two crops could be bridge--!. Vichy hoped that "something would turn up" in the meantime. Instead of a miracle came a calam- ity. North Africa was occupied by the United Nations, and Algerian. Sloroccan and Tunisian wheat are no longer available. For another thin?, there will be a scarcity of fats. Olive oil came from Tunisia and Algeria, peanut oil from Senegal and other parts of the colonial empire which now have seceded from Vichy. Animal fata are scarce as is sufficiently ahowu liy the fact that the average meat ration for an adult is less than one-half pound a month. Butter is scarce because of lack of fodder and requisitions of cattle for Che Army of Occupa- tion. No Fats No Soap There being no fats, there is no soap and the French are going un- washed as well as unfed. There is no poultry and no eggs because long ago the bur- eaucrats in Vichy decided that ir was a. "crime" to feed fowl with grains which could serve man. Some observers fear trouble when :i starving- people recalls past ministerial promises and In- sists ou production of the wheat. the potatoea and the butter "gen- erously provided by the Germans" for storing- agalust ksin months. WTien Relchmarshal Hermann Goering told the world that ivheu the worst comes to (lie worst. Germany would see to it that she was the last to starve, that pass- age was deleted from the speech as presented to the French. Very soon they will not need to be told. RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST Nothing But Ruin* Left of Stalingrad Stalingrad, once a vast indus- trial centre whose name will al- ways be a symbol of the triumph of men over metal, is a heap of ruins and rubble, writes Henry Shapiro. There are no streets, no ave- nues, no parks in Stalingrad. Millions of shellpocked bricks and mountains of metal fragments are all that remains of such build- ings as the Dzershinsky tractor plant. In the last 15 months I have seen ruins of cities such as Sera- fimovich and hundreds of villages on other fronts. In those places there are at least individual bricks which still are useable. That is not true of Stalingrad. Adolf Hitler boasted that wften the Russians recaptured towns and villages, they would find not towns and villages but ruin? and debris. That is one promise he kept. The destruction at Stalingrad probably exceeds anything since Genghis Khan swept down from the Mongolian desert and laid waste: the great and flourishing citie.s of central Asia. With the dawn of Friday, March 12th. the first Friday in Lent, wome- around the world will pray that the nations may be united and that our leaders may b given supreme guidance In their deci- sions which shall carry the struggle now raging throughout the world to a victory in accordance with the spirit of Christendom. Each year a different country selects a programme of observance for the occasion. la Canada the Inter- board Committee of tie Women's Missionary Societies designs the programme for Canada's partici- pation in this world day of prayer. As a prelude to the event, Mrg. Albert Matthews, wife of the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, speaks to listeners across Canada on Thursday, March llth. Mr. Matthews will announce the pro- gramme for Canadian women and will tell the story of this Christian custom since its inauguration. A choir will also participate in the broadcast, which will be heard .over the national n. . .vork of the CBC commencing a; 4.30 p.m. Thursday. March llth.
