Exeter owes a debt ratitude’ to the bell-ringers-. Sunday School Lesson With a field of activity unequalled the world over the new winter sports association the Ski Runners of the Canadian Rockies, is rapidly coming into prominence among skiers and winter sports enthusiasts generally. The new organization is patterned largely after the famous Trail Riders and its locale, unequalled for scenery and facilities on this continent and probably Without a Tival even m-.Europe, is Banff, in the heart of the Rockies,-with Tuns and trails varying from one to ten days in duration and covering such world-known objectives as Mount Asslniboine, Simpson Pass, Shadow Lake, Lake Louise, Ptarmigan Valley and Pass, Bow Lakes and Pipestone Pass. Ski-ing over some of these passes is m full swing as late as June when visitors are enjoying golf and tennis, fishing and hiking, in the valleys below, But the sport begins in November each year. _ ab°ve,Banff and about an hour out from the town is the ski lodge built on the pass between Mounts Notquay and Stoney Squaw, From the club house runs radiate in all directions with cabins and shelters at strategic points for rest and refreshment.

THE FIRST DISCIPLES (Sunday, Jan. 10,—John 1: 19-1’5.) Golden Text Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (-Jiohn 1; 29.) Things that had never happened before since the world began com­ ing to pass during the days des­ cribed in these lessons. Here are tho outstanding events in this sec­ ond lesson in the Gospel of John: John the Baptist’s humble witness to the Messiah, John the Baptist’s witness to Christ as the Saviour of sinners. The Holy Spirit’s witness to tile Son of God. John the Baptist voluntarily loses new disciples, that Christ may have them. Christ’s way of winning men. A brother’s witness to Christ. Nathaniel, a righteous man, finds that he needs Christ. Christ claims to be the Mediator between Heaven and earth. There Iiavo been powerful preach­ ers during the Christian centuries but it is to. be questioned whether the world has ever known .another preacher like John the Baptist. He shook tho cultured and religious world, of his day to its foundations* jews, themselves, even thought that he was Christ—and swiftly he de­ nied this. When cross-questioned as to who he was, he answered humbly, that he was only a voice: “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make straight the way of the Lord,” Challenged again by the Jews as to why then he was baptizing men, John explained, that he was bap­ tizing with water as a sight or sym­ bol of the baptising that would be done by Another, who would bap­ tize with tlie Holy Ghost. "He, it is. who coming after me, is pref err-, ed before me, whose shoe lachet I am not worthy to unloose.” It is popular among certain des­ tructive critics, who set themselves about the word of God, to say that Paul, Jong after Christ’s time, in­ vented the theology of the blood atonement. They overlook the fact that John the Baptist, before Christ had even begun His earthly minis­ try, boldly declared as he pointed to Him: “Behold tlie Lamb of God^ which taketh away the sin of the world,” Every Jew knew what that meant, lambs were for the God-or­ dained secrifice, blood secrifice. And now that Christ had come, He was here as the Lamb of God, to shSd His bipod and die that sinners might be saved. Paul did not invent this theology. It is the heart of the Old Testament as well as of the New; it was announced by God Him­ self in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3: 15). John had been told that when he , saw the Holy Spirit of Gael descend from Heaven and come upon some one, that one would be the "Son of God, Messiah and Saviour, who alone can baptize men with the Holy Ghost. John saw just this occur, for he tells us: “I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” Then begins the calling, one after another, of the first disciples of Christ. John had his own large fol­ lowing, his own disciples; and one day he said to two of these, as the Lord Jesus walked near by, “Behold the Lamb of God!” These disciples turned away fr,om John and “they followed Jesus.” As the Lord asked- them, “What seek ye?” they asked Him where His dwelling place was, and He re­ plied, “Come and see.” This is Christ’s invitation to meh. He would have all vome to Him, and see for themselves what He can do for them. These two accepted the Lord’s invitation; they remained with Him for the next three years, until He was crucified, had risen again, and had ascended to Heaven; and they are with Him today in Heaven. They are glad they heard and answered His call, “Come and see.” Winning others one by one to Christ is the greatest wonk any of us can do, and it is the work of all of us ought to be doing. Andrew promptly went after his own brother Simon, and made the startling an­ nouncement: “We^liave found the Messiah, which is, being interrupt-, ed, the Christ.” What did Andrew mean, and what did Simon understand, by “the Mes- sias” or “the Christ”? (The'two words mean the same, one being Hebrew, the other Greek). iSimply this: He was referring to the Old Testament promise and description of the Messiah, whom God for cen­ turies past had pledged Himself to His people Ishael. Every devout Israelite or Jew was perfectly fam­ iliar with what the Scriptures had to say about the Messiah. They knew that from Genesis to Malachi the promises and prophecies con­ cerning the (Messiah were explicit and unmistakable. And it is a significant fact that when, in the fulness of time, the Messiah came, Jesus Christ of Naz­ areth. He was instantly recogniz­ ed, believed, and accepted by all Jews whose hearts were right with God and who had been living in humible faith in the God of their Scriptures. He was rejected only by those Jews whose religion and worship was a mere form, empty of true meaning and faith. The Lord -called Philip, and Phil­ ip called Nathaniel and made the same startling declaration that An­ drew had made. When Nathaniel questioned this, Philip repeated the Lord’s invitation, “Come and see," And the Lord said to Nathaniel, “Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig, tree, I saw thee.” This was too much for Nathaniel. He recognized that the Lord knew all about some per­ sonal, intimate, deep spiritual ex­ perience ite evidently had had, con­ cerning which he perhaps supposed no one but God knew, and he cried out: “Rabbi, Thou art the $on of God; thou art the King of Israel.” Then came the tremendous de­ claration and claim from the lips of Christ; “Hereafter ye shall see Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of main” This looked back through the centuries to the patri­ arch Jacob’s experience when, in a dream, he beheld a ladder reaching from Heaven to earth and the an­ gels ascending and descending on it (Gen. 28:12), Christ is that lad­ der; Christ only can bring God to men and men to God, fcxrtrr SauirM-Aitaurate Established 1871 and 1211 Publlihed •very Thuriday at Exeter, Ontario SUBSCRIPTION—12.00 par real H advance.
