The lad with a companion and. the dog, were crossing therC.P.R. trestle over the Maitland river toSJiis home, when a train mindful of the risk the lad ran back grabbed his dog and made for the safety, strip. But he was not in time —he was hurled to the rocks beneath and the deg crushed to death be­ neath the wheels of the train.

Spine of the say­ ings have been bitter and only tend to keep alive an issue which would ■be better forgotten. We believe that the best interests of the Empire can be served and we believe that- the public agree that the thing to do is to let the Duke of Windsor entry out his own life with­ out further interference or attack as such action can serve no useful pur­ pose. One must give Edward credit that he gave up his all, practically, for the woman he loved. He realized that she could not be our Queen and he made a sacrifice that few would, be willing to follow. We do not say he did right but the thing that was done is done, so let us forget about it. 4s -K 4s 4s Churchgoers ip, a Madrid were sub­ THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAN. Sunday, Jan. 3—-John 1:1-18. Golden Text: The Word was made flesh, dwelt among us. (John 1:14.) If we had to lose all the books of the Bible but one, we might well choose the Gospel of John. It is a rich privilege to have this Gospel for our study during the next three months. John’s Gospel is the only book of the sixty-six in the Bible that states exactly why it was written. Let us keep its purpose plainly before us throughout the quarter. In John 20: 30, 31, the apostle says that the Lord Jesus did “many other signs” (mir­ acles) before His disciples that are not recorded in this Gospel, “But these are written, that ye might be­ lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name.” Let us pray earnestly that every unsaved soul in our Sunday school class shall, be­ cause of these lessons, be saved and “have life through His name.” The first verse of John and the first verse of Genesis begin with the same three words: “In the beginning.” Let the class read aloud Genesis 1:1, then John 1:1:. What is meant by “J.n the begin­ ning?” Evidently, from the Genesis verse and from John 1:3, the begin­ ning of creation. It was not the be­ ginning of eternity, nor the beginning of the life of God, any beginning. What is meant which was in the God,” and which “was God”? Verse 14 leaves us in no doubt; the Word is the Son of God, eternally one with the Father as God the Son, who be­ came man, taking the human name Jesus, when “the Word was made, flesh, and dwelt among us.” Jesus Christ is God. This fact shines ottt in all its glory through­ out the chapters of John’s Gospel. But is the deity of Christ a theory, a theology, an invention of John and the other apostles, made by them af­ ter Christ’s death to honor and exalt their leader and hero, as some mod­ ern writers would tell us? The refutation of this crude andig- norant criticism is found in the words of Christ Himself. From His own lips, as recorded in the other Gos­ pels and in John, came Christ’s re- peated declarations of His deity. In a book written ten years ago by the well-known journalist and. author, Don Marquis, “The Dark Hours,” giv­ ing a dramatic account of the day. of the crucifixion, the author makes, a significant statement. Noting that there are some today who hold that, “when Jesus spoke of His Father He meant that God is the Father of all of us in much the same way,” Mr. Marquis says: “But the careful and repeated examination of the Bible ne­ cessary for this play has convinced me that it was not His meaning. 1 cannot escape the conviction that He intended to convey that Fie was the Son of God in a sense special and unique ... You may or may not be­ lieve this, I may or may not believe it—but I cannot evade the belief that Jesus Himself believed it,” And the author points out, and truly, that Christ’s own claim to deity was the reason for His crucifixion. John goes on to show that Christ is the Creator: “All things were made by Him.” This is explicitly stated al­ so in Colossians 1:16. Christ also is Life and Light. There is no life or light foi- men apart from Him. This divine light “shineth in darkness; and the darkness com­ prehended (apprehended) it not." That is, “The Gentile world was wrapped in darkness so intense that it was unable to perceive the light.” Here is the tragedy of sin and un­ belief: “He was in the world, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” There is an interesting difference in the meanings of the two expres­ sions, “His oyn” in that last sen­ tence, not shown in the English but plainly brought out in the Greek. It reads literally: “He came unto own (things, or land), and His (people) received Him not.” The next verse is in "shining trast. “1 ‘ ' con- But as many as received, him, to them gave Fie power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” There is the new birth, the second birth from above, by faith in Christ as SavioUr. Then John tells us that, when “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” he and the other disciples “beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” For Christ came to this earth, not only to reveal God, but also to make possible, by His death and resurrection as the sinner’s Substitute and Saviour, the full work- in; key verse: “For the by Moses, but grace by Jesus Christ.” Moses set forth Here is a was given truth came the holy and righteous law of God, which no sin­ ful man can keep perfectly. There­ fore God’s law condemns us; but God’s grace saves us. Grace is “con­ stantly set in contrast to law, under which God demands,, righteousness from man, as under grace He gives righteousness to man. Law is con­ nected with Moses and works; grace with Christ and faith. Law blesses the good; grace saves the bad. Law demands that blessings be earned; grace is a free gift. Supplements Needed for Winter Feeding _____ U Dr. O. McConkey of the Ontario Agricultural College,, Guelph, strikes a note of timely warning in a recent bulletin When he says: "In the drought areas of the province miner­ al deficiency troubles with livestock will be more acute during the winter feeding period of 1936-37, because phosphorus is not readily taken in by plants during dry seasons. The win­ ter feeds will contain less phosphorus than usual, and .it will be a wise pre­ caution to start feeding a recognized mineral supplement early in the stable feeding period and so prevent trouble and loss.” “Hay,” says Dr. McConkey, “is. the most valuable crop grown in Ontario; it covers 30% of the cultivated acre­ age . . . Some farmers are produc­ ing hay which is four times higher in protein »haft others, and a consid­ erable percentage of our hay is too low in the essential minerals to main­ tain healthy animals.” There is no need to pay fancy pric­ es Cor mineral supplements. The ne­ cessary minerals, supplied in proper form and balance, are not costly, with the exception of iodine; but this el­ ement, fortunately, is required in only very small amount. Friends, an old time wish sounds sincerest.

Royal Birth Christmas Day London1—The Duchess of Kent gave birth to a daughter Christmas Day—sixth in line to the throne of •Great Britain. The baby is the sec­ ond child of the youngest of the King’s brothers and his wife, the for­ mer Princess Marina of Greece. They were married Nov. 29, 1934, and their first child, Prince Edward George Nicholas Paul Patrick, was born Oct. 9, 1935.

Observed Birth of Christ . . Bethlehem, Palestine—Church-bells of this hallowed town summoned pil­ grims from many lands to celebrate with prayer the anniversary’’ of Christ’s birth.

Many in the congregation were convinced’ that Edward, who gave up the throne of England “for the woman I love,” was demonstrat­ ing that, despite the., attacks heaped upon him by dignitaries of the Church of England, he intended to remain devout.

Germany Seizes Private Profits Berlin—The Government decreed itself a Christmas present at the ex­ pense of private concerns which pro­ fited owing to devaluation of foreign currencies. Under the decree all pro­ fits made by concerns having foreign, debts .through currency devaluations were seized in favor of the Ministry of Economics. This amounts to more than $500,000,000.
