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. There is a 50-metre Jump at Buffalo Park and
«verX y6ar in February (this year February 7-14) a tournament is held where the pick of Canadian and out
side jumpers compete.

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,
