Golden Text: Whosoever drinketh of the water that 1 shall give him shall never thirst. (John 4:14.) The Lord Jesus Christ, Creator of the world, sharing with the Father His glory from all eternity, sat by .a well side in Samaria, “being wearied with His journey.” For when He condescended to become man Fie ac­ cepted the limitations of human flesh; He was dependent upon sleep, and rest, and food, and He lived by faith in His heavenly Father. It was Jacob's well at Sychar, in Samaria, the province between Judea and Galilee, and the Samaritan peo­ ple were a strange mixture in both | race and religion. Second Kings 17 tells of their origin; when Assyria conquered Israel, colonists from Bab­ ylon were sent to Samaria and inter­ married with Israelites remaining there, and pagan gods and places eff worship were set with the worship “They feared the their own gods." A woman of Samaria < well to draw water, and tr to her, “Give Me a drink.' was significant: "How is it that being a Jew, which arh a w the Jews have Samaritans." There follows one of the most won­ derful conversations and experiences recorded anywhere in the Bible. The Lord said to her that, if she knew “the gift of God” and who was ask­ ing of her “Give Me to drink,11 she would “have asked of Him, add He Would have giveh thee living water.’1 She was puzzled, The stranger had hoiking with which to dfaW Water from the well, “Art Thou greater thaw our father Jacob, which gave us the well?’’ Her question reminds us of another challenge that came fo I Christ about Abraham, when. He re­ plied, “Before Abraham wasj I am” . (John 8:58). Then to the woman came the won­ derful words of life: “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again; but whosoever drinketh .of the water that I shall give him shall nev­ er thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into, everlasting life.’ ' At another time, in the presence' of a great multitude, the Lord “stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37, 38), Yet this Saviour, who alone can quench and satisfy eternally the thirst of men, one day hung on the cross, about tojlie for men’s sins, and said, “I thirst” (John 19:28). He suffered intolerable physical and spiritual, thirst in order that we, lost sinners without Him, might never thirst, In last week's lesson the Lord talk­ ed with one of the highest tvpps of men, a religious leader, intellectual, cultured, doubtless of clean moral, life and high principles, yet lost; one whose only hope was to be born again. In this lesson the Lord talked with one of the lowest type of wo­ men, a moral outcast, shunned and despised by decent people, yet no one more in need of salvation than was Nicodemus. For both the moral Phar­ isee and the debased woman of Sa­ maria there was only one Saviour. And the glorious fact is that both these needy souls received this Sav­ iour and passed from death to life, and are rejoicing in His fellowship and presence today. The Lord’s continued conversation with the woman showed her that He knew all about her past life. The con­ versation was becoming uncomfort­ ably personal, and she tried to change the subject and talk about “religion” —who was right in the choice of a place of worship, the Samaritan or the Jew? The Lord answered plainly and dir­ ectly that the Samaritans “worship ye know not what; wc know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews. Then the woman said something that opened the way to the heart of everything. “I know,” she said, “thal Messiah cometh, which is called Christ; when He is come, He will tell us all things.” We often hear it said, ignorantly, and falsely, that Jesus Christ never claimed Deity for Himself. Listen to His reply to the sunful woman: “I that speak unto thee am He,’ The Messiah, the Christ, could be none other than God; the Old Testament Scriptures made that plain to every Jew (Isaiah 9s 6,7). The sequel? One of the great ev­ angelistic triumphs of Bible history followed. The sinful woman not on­ ly believed, but she hurried back in­ to the city and spread the Good News. A strange sort of evangelist, do we think—an outcast, despised woman telling people about their Saviour? But the only evangelists that God uses (apart from His own Son) are “sinners saved by grace.” Many of the Samaritans believed the woman’s testimony; they sought Him out, pleaded-with Him to stay with them, "and He abode there two days.” Then many more believed, and i .

Bruce county, was found in the barn at his home with a .22 calibre rifle bullet in his temple, The boy is said to have been despondent over having to attend school. When the body was found by the boy’s two brothers, who went to feed the chickens, Dr. H. O. Lough, of Tiverton, was called but bound the boy had died instantly. Dr. John Ferguson, coroner of Kincardine was called and decided no inquest was necessary. The boy had read most of the afternoon at his home, then later in the afternoon slipped from the house apparently to end his life. He had not wanted to go to school but had been present until Friday.
