The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1930-12-25, Page 3■>■ J he ^Sunday School Wesson By CHARLES Q. TRUMBULL, Wit. Review. (The Pattern of Christian Living. SUNDAY, DEC,'28* Golden Text Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 2:5) There are thirteen New Testament characters, (glimpses in this review of tentative Men and Women of New Testament”; -of whom we take brief Repre- the i f Zacharias and Eliza beth Mary, the mother of Jesus Simeon and Anna Simon Peter Thomas . The Believing Centurion The Rich Young Ruler Zacchaeus the Publican Stephen Saul of Tarsus Timothy « Of only one of these is the tragic record written that he turned away from the Lord, so far as we know, forever. All the othersi were be lievers and followers, with some stumbling. Let us note outstanding characteristics in each. Zaccharins and Elizabeth were righteous, devoted people, lo.ving God1 and dping His will—and with a great affliction. They were child less. God miraculously intervened .and gave them a child, John the, Bap tist. Zacharias, halted in his faith; his unbelief was rebuked .by tempor ary dumbness; his speech was re stored. as* he evidenced his unques tioning faith later. Mary, chosen of God to be the vir gin mother of His Son, trusted God in full stirrender, while doubtess re- . cognizing the trial and reproach that this- would mean. Simeon and Anna, were a devout .and, believing man and women, look ing for God’s fulfillment' of His Old ’ Testament prophiecies in the com ing of the Messiah. Therefore when Jesus was born and brought into the temple they both recognized and worshipped Him a:s. the Messiah. „ .Jj^ws who really worship God faith and surrender cannot, and not, failed to recognize His Son as •thpir Messiah. ’ Simon Peter was a typically hu man combination of weakness and strength, right and wrong. When people say: “I like Peter, lie’s so human.” they are always thinking ■of his failures and sins, and they like to comfort themselves in their own; failures and sins by hiding behind his* example. Would it not be bet- ter to say: “I like Petei1, he is such : a wonderful illustration, of the re- zitoring and keeping power of God?” s Here are contrasts in the character; he rebuked Christ for saying He must die a'nd.rise again, and Christ rebuked Peter as the mouthpiece of Satan. He was so terribly “sifted As wheat” by Satan i:that the Lord had to pray specially for him that' his faith fail not. Boasting of his readiness to go with his Lord to prison and death, instead Peter be trayed Christ three times that very night. The risen Lord named Peter specially to keep an appointment with Him, and commissioned him three times to feed the lambs il in do and the sheep. And Peter Iqter ful filled this commission by preaching one of the greatest sermons in -the history of the Christian church, be coming one of the boldest and most successful evangelists the world has i ever known. Thomas loved the 'Lord devotedly - but was full of questions and doubts ’ (John 14:5; 20:25). When the ■ Lord’s loving patience and grace ' swept his doubts away Thomas wor shipped Him as Lord and God. The Roman Centurion showed a faith in Christ greater, at that time, than any Israelite had, and he brought joy to the Lord’s heart. His faith* was rewarded by a miracle of healing in behalf of a beloved ser vant. The rich young- ruler had every thing except the greatest -and best, Probably of good family and high rank, “blue blood,” with social and political standing, lie was very wealthy and with all this douibtlews* had many friends and much popular ity. He was -“religious,” of good character and good reputation. But he lacked eternal life and. he. knew it. When the Lord told him he could have this only by giving up his earth ly possessions and following Him, the young man made his. choice-— and turned away. Zacchaeus the publican, was the unscrupulously successful business man. Like the young ruler, he also had great possessions. In sharp contrast with that young ruler, he wanted Christ more than his posses sions, and was ready to sacrifice all in order to have Christ. A lost,man was saved. Stephen was still another business man, the third in these three lessons. His life and record refute 'the popu lar mistake that the practical and .the spiritual do not go together; Stenin., mministered property wise ly, worked miracles in the name of Christ, ahd, persecuted for this, he was utterly honest and told the false religious leaders of,the day of truth. For this they killed him. ■ He fol lowed in the footsteps of his Lord, who arose from the throne to meet His 'disciple as his spirit passed from earth to heaven. Saul of Tarsus was the .cultured university man whose religion and education .only made him one of the most dangerous characters in his tory. To save him Christ acted a parable in prophecy of the national conversion of Israel, yet to occur when Christ comes again. He ap peared in blinding glory to Saul, and the “high brow” murderer became a messenger of light, and a little child in humility, recognizing that his'wisdom was foplishness.'-tfo God, and that the wisdom of God was Christ crucified. ■ ■, Tiinpitfiy ‘was the boy and young Wan whose experience and example are surely needed for young people today. He learned much from his mother and grandmother; he believ- od and obeyed the Bible; he came to Christ while he was still young; he was a help and comfort to the greatest Apostles; and -doubtless he t was a mighty soul-winner.

For years Cana dians have secured a little more than a proportionate share of the winnings at this great exhibition. This season it seems that they have beaten their own record. For the sixth time Canadians have won the championship in wheat, while forty-seven out of fifty prizes came to the land of the maple and beaver, while other* laurels were won for rye, field beans and alsike clover. Canada, when it conies to farming has the soil and the climate and the men for high class production. * * * * ♦ S> * * TWO THINGS This word that the U.

Little did voters in the United States understand what they were doing when they elected men like President' Hoover to the seats of the mighty in their Re public. Now it seems that they were electing men who were to have it in tlieir power to considerablly relieve one of the most distressing economic situations that has so far confronted civilization. Yet, this is what they did. Electors will do well to ponder this event. The government is* the business committee of the nation. Party cries are all very well for election days but' good business sense in rulers is what goes* a long way to promote prosperity or to relieve adversity. Canadian voters should ever keep this in mind. Further, individual effort must supplement the efforts of gov ernment. This is a necessity ■ that must -be observed now and for ■ many a day to come. Only the farmer who has wheat, who had the initiative, to sow and guard his fields an,d to gather in his crops will be able to take advantage of the increased price of wheat now thought to be in the offing, as prices go, but any increase who are doing what men can do to carry on. • and all others must remember make a summer.” The increase promises to be slight, will be gladly welcomed"by farmers However, farmers the old adage, “One swallow doesn’t Vitamins Needed Every Day ZURICH by Edgar Wallace ' ' _ ____ , I Seaforth .post office kept their postoffice open until 8.30 p.m. on Monday, and Tuesday evenings for the convenience of the public owing to the large number of parcels.
