(John 14:9)* It would he difficult to find any eighteen verses in The Bible that tell more than, or as much/us, the .eighteen. that make up this lesson. Let us notice some of the great .tacts, -words and truth that are packed into these few verses: The Beginning The Word God ■Creation Life Light Darkness: Bearing Witness The World .Sons of God 43-od jn Human Flesh Xravv Grace God revealed We could spend an entire lesson ■on any one of those fourteen great 'themes, hut we have them all in this one lesson. Only God-breath­ ed scriptures could say so much i* .»uch little space and with such sim­ plicity. The supernatural and in­ finite richness of this first lesson in John’s Gospel offers a glimpse -of the wonders of the Gospel as a whole. Well has it been called the central book of the Bible. Roger C. McQuilkin, president of Colum­ bia Bible College (Columbia South Carolina), who now writes the lead­ ing lesson, article each week in The Sunday School Times, has used this phrase in his study of John’s Gos­ pel as a whole, recently published' in that paper. Those who are fol­ lowing these lessons in John for the next three months would do well to secure the 10-cent pamphlet reprint of Mr. McQuilkin’s article, “Master­ ing John’s Gospel,” and use it for frequent reference during the quar­ ter. Some of its teaching points and outlines will be given ip. these lessons in The Globe. For example, as Genesis is the book of the old creation, John is the book of the new creation; both books “open with the tremendous words: Tn the beginning/ ” Here, is an outline of John’s Gos­ pel: I.-—Sublime Preview of the Gos­ pel—The Word made Flesh 1:1-18, II.—The Revelation of the World, 1:19 to 12:50, III. —The Revelation of the Inner Circle, 13 to 17, IV. —.Glorification in Death and Ressurectiop, 18 to 21, There are three great messages In John’s Gospel, “The central mes­ sage is the Person of Jesus, who is presented as the Christ, and as the Son of God. This person has come to bring Life. He has come to give life to men, and this life is to be had through Believing. We have, then, three questions that are ans­ wered in John: 1, Who is Jesus? 2, What is life? 3, What does it mean to believe? The first verse in the Gospel tells us that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” What does “Word” mean? It is /from the Greek logos, and means1 both a thought and the expression of that thought. John shows us plainly that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, was and is the Word of God. And Christ is the Word of God in three great historical epochs. He was the Word in the begin­ ning—before man or the universe was created. He was tbe Word at the time of the incarnation, for "the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His uJory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Fa­ ther), full of grace and'truth.” He will be the Word when He comes again to this earth, not in humiliation the next time, but in glory; for we read in Revelation 19 a description of Christ at His second coming, and find that “His name is called the Word of God.” Our lesson tells* us that Christ is- the Creator of all things. In Christ alone is life; apart from Christ there is no spiritual life. Christ as the Life is also the" Light of men, and the only true Light; all men without Christ are in hopeless darkness. Yet when Christ the Creator came unto His own creation, His people the Jews “received Him not*” But some did receive H?m, and “t% them gave His power to become the sops of God, even, to them that believe on His name/’ John the Baptist was a true and humble witness to Christ. He was such an extraordinary personality, so filled with the Holy Spirit and dynamic power, that some thought he was Christ; but instantly he de­ nied this and pointed men away from himself to Christ. “He was not that Light,, but was sent to hear witness of that Light.” Finally, “no man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son. which is in the bosom °f the Father He hath declared Him.” In other words, whenever God has revealed Himself as a person to men it has been through Christ, the second Person of the Trinity. No man in this life has ever seen, or can ever see, the entire Godhead, but those who saw Christ saw God (John 14: 8-9.) Let us make very plain to our classes that the Gospel of John re­ peatedly declares the Deity of Christ, The key verse of the entire Gospel is this: “That ye might be­ lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.” (John 20:31,)' News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) Had Been Troubled With Constipation From Childhood jioaEaiPior L? Mr. R. D. Grant, King’s Head, N.S., writes:—“I had been troubled with con­ stipation from childhood, and nothing seemed to help me for any length of time until a doctor recommended Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills. I found after taking them a short time that they had regu­ lated my bowels, toned up my liver and consequently benefited my general health in every way. They are something that no household can afford to be without,” DIED VERY SUDDENLY The passing of Arthur H. Gregory widely known farmer of Blanghard Township was very sudd’en and un­ expected on Tuesday, December the 22nd. Deceased had been in his us­ ual good health earlier in the day and when he did not return to the house after completing the chores at the barn, members of the family made a search for him and to their dismay found him lying in the hay­ mow still holding the hay knife with which he had been cutting hay. He had apparently passed away in a heart seizure before he could call for help. The late Mr. Gregory was the' eldest son of the late Gilbert and Mrs. Gregory, pioneer farmers for the Uniondale district of East Nissouri, andi lie was born on the old homestead there sixty-nine years ago. After his marriage to Miss Louise Craig, Mr Gregory took up a farm near Prospect Hi'll where he resided until a few years ago when he turned the farm over to his son and then bought the present home­ stead half a mile west of Rannocli. Besides his wife the deceased is sur­ vived by a family of four children, namely, Earl, of Rannocli; Warren of Prospect Hill; and Wilfred an^ Miss Vera at home. Three brothers and three sisters also remain tn mourn his loss, George W., St. Marys; Milton, Kirkton; Berneice, of Uniondale; Mrs. E. B. West, Cliesley; Mrs. W. G. Medd, Exeter and Mrs. James Wells, of St. Marys. The funeral was held (Thursday) from the family residence, (West Mitchell Road, at 3 p.m. Interment to be in St. Marys, cemetery. Sanitation in mangers, and. the drinking supply is in many ^cases very poor. When cows don’t‘drink as much water as they should, or leave a certain amount of meal in the bottom of the mangers, the trouble may generally b® laid to the door of poor sanitation, An inspec­ tion of mangers and drinking cups had become fouled with chaff and spoiled silage, and when1 left for even a day the water is filthy. It is.reasonable that cows will not drink freely of this water, Any­ where from a quarter of an inch of hard accumulated tilth can some­ times be scraped ouf of the manger. It has a stench which makes the animal quit eating long before it has had enough, Drinking bowls and mangers should be kept clean if the cattle are to flourish, HARTLEY (Top ute for last week.)

Perhaps it seems strange to link “a silicate of ■beryllium and aluminium, which”, as the dictionary puts it, “when transparent flashes blue and green, , with the familiar yellow fruit that, so surprisingly, when you find it growing, is upside down and green. It is Strange. But then it is just as strange to leave tne snow and ice of4 Canada and less than 60 hours later to find oneself in the gentle, sub-tropic warmth of Bermuda. “Beryl”, as a metaphor,, expresses the transparent beauty of the seas around Bermuda; bananas are the least strange Of the many luscious fruits with which the island abounds. It is a fascinating combination of ancient and modern that one reaches by 20,021 ton Canadian Pacific Duchess liners sailing from New York every Wednesday and Saturday.

The Root Vegetables, Act provides for the sale of vegetables other than those commonly known as green vegetables, by the measured bushel or part thereof providing the meas­ ured bushel or part of a bushel is of standard weight or the correct pro­ portionate equivalent. It has been found in practice that the weights prescribed by the Act for six and eleven quart baskets of potatoes, onions, beets, carrots., tur­ nips, parsnips and artichokes could be secured only by heaping up the basket with the vegetable concern­ ed, the weights in the Act having been figured on the basis of propor­ tionate volume, The new weights for these con­ tainers now are; 6-quart Basket ‘ lbs. . Potatoes ............ 10 Onions, beets, carrots & turnips ., 9 Parsnips ............. 7 Artichokes .’........ >10 These weights are foul form more consistently with the true weights of these vegetables when packed in accordance with standard practice in the basket con­ tainers named. Growers’ Market Council Forms have been sent out to fruit and vegetables .growers in Ontario requesting them to register with the Ontario Growers’ Market’s Council what acreage of various crops they grow and intend to produce next season. Any grower who does not receive a form i,s asked to write for one to the Council’s' secretary, Mr. C. W. Bauer, Hamilton. A concert­ ed effort is being made to provide next year against any repetition of the disastrous marketing seaon ex­ perienced by many growers this year. Growers who were in touch •with the Council’s activities this season fared, better than those who were not in touch with them or did not follow their advice. The Coun­ cil's activities were necessarily lim­ ited owing to a late start and the difficulties of organizing such a far- reacliing movement. Nevertheless quite wonderful things were accom­ plished in increasing shipments of Ontario produce to the West and the Maritimes, and In helping the grape growers and the producers of many varieties of vegetables and fruits. Raise Your Own Living Whether willing or not the ma­ jority of farmers are now obliged to supply more of their own needs. The following list may provide sug­ gestions foi’ further economy: 1. Milk a few good cows; feed recommended rations. 2. Fatten one pig for every two adult members of the family; cure the meat properly. 3. Keep at least 100 good hens, correctly housed and fed. 4. Raise a good, garden; water from wind-mill if possible. 5. Plant only cash crops, which show little or no surplus. 6. Grow your own stock feed. 7. Butcher fat cows and steers; trade meat with neighbors. 8. Raise your own living; keep your roof tight. 9. Get down to earth and do the best you carr today. 10. Drive a horse until you can afford to buy gasoline. Ontario Soy Beans Won At the recent International Grain and Hay Show held in Chicago, soy beans exhibited by Ontario farmers were awarded five of the six high­ est prizes. All these exhibits werd of the O.A.C. No. 212 variety, which was developed by the Field Hus­ bandry Department, O. A. C., where it gave excellent results when test­ ed alongside of other kinds. Tests iit connection with the Experiment Union and demonstrations on a feld scale in many districts, have shown this variety to be very'Vjuitaible for Ontario conditions. Its adaptability s well shown by the wide area in which the Chicago exhibits were grown. Prizes were won by J. K. Kyle & Sons, Drumbo; J. IL Frisby, Gormley; J. H. Lampman & Sons, ■Ridgetown; Campbell Bros., Whit­ by; W« Davison, Blenheim; and A. C. Porter, Jarvis. Keep Mangers Clean An inspection of the mangers of stables when cows are not doing ‘well might go a long way towart! finding out the cause of trouble. Clean Nests, Clean Eggs It takes less time to place clean straw in the nests than it takes to clean eggs. Some eggs will be­ come dirty in spite of the best of care, but tJhe egg-cleaning work is greatly reduced if the nests are cleaned at egg gathering time when dirt is noticed and a little clean straw is added once or twice each week. This is a good early morn­ ing job before the Rens start using the nests. If you have no straw stack, keep a bale of straw in each laying house so that a measure of the loose straw can be worked up and added by handfuls to any nests where tihe boards are becoming bare or the straw is soiled. Ontario Clover Seed Best at Great Chicago Show Ontario farmers made a remark­ able showing with Red Clover at the recent International Grain and Hay Show held in Chicago. With, sixteen entries they captured fourteen prizes including 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6 th.• 10th and lltih. Many of the fine samples were grown‘in Prescott and Russell where the farmers special­ ize in the production of Clover seed and where the local agricultural re- presentatve and Dominion Seed Branch have done much to encour­ age the use of good seed cleaning machinery. Remi Lamarche of Casselmarnnvas awarded first prize, while second went to Ladislas Landry of Crysler. Current Reports Farm work throughout the prov­ ince is practically completed) and farmers are busy housing their stock and making last-minute repairs on buildings., etc. in preparation for the winter months. Very unsatis­ factory prices are reported for cheese, hogs, small seeds, grains and hay. Abundant rains have meant that many farmers who had to draw water for live stock last winter are noting that wells, and springs are filling up and they will have suffi­ cient to look after their needs. Duf- ferin County advises that one of the largest crops of mangels and! tur­ nips plus large quantites of cull po­ tatoes assures sufficient succulence for winter live stock rations. Gren­ ville give a report on the T. B. Test in one township to date: Herds test­ ed, 349; cattle, 5240; reactors, 529; premises infected, 119; compensa­ tion, $18,619; percentage recators, 0.7; average compensation,- $35.20. Peel County reports that Purebred Boar Clubs and the Bacon Litter competitions have encouraged the production of bacon hogs of the se­ lect type. “The premium paid by the packing plants for select hogs during the present low price of ba­ con, recompenses the farmer for his foresight in breeding and! feeding the type of hog desired by the pack­ ers for the export trade as well as for home consumption.” The 1931 production of maple Syrup in Peel was over 2,000 gallons. Surplus cattle sold over and above local con­ sumption in Wellington County in the last year amounted to 15,000 head. slats’ diary Friday—‘Mrs. Frett witch's lius- band dyed recently and let a biuichi of ensurents says the 1st thing shef is going to do4Zia( treat hex* self|to aj nice operaslipn; for a pendiciiu# or sum thing, hut’ she wants t^e very Latest thing’ in operashuns.
