|THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSONj
LIFE HERE AND HEREAFTER
THROUGH CHRIST.
Sunday, March 7—John 14:1-15.
Golden Text:
*I am the way> the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Fath
er, but by Me. (John 14:6.)
The last two words of our lesson
title are the key, not only to this les
son, but to all of life. “Through
Christ" is the secret of everything
Worth while that lost sinners can ev
er hope to be or to do.
It; is as though a man found him
self so hopelessly in debt through
business failure and his personal ob
ligations that, if left to himself, he
would be completely wiped out, and
with no hope of ever providing for
himself for the rest of his life. Then
suppose a multi-millionaire friend told
him he would gladly pay all his busi
ness and personal debts and would
provide everything he needed for the
rest of his life—the only condition
being that the insolvent man should
draw freely upon bis friend at any
time and all times. If that offer were
accepted, then everything worth while
in that wrecked man’s life would
Come through his friend.
That is what Christ means to the
lost and redeemed sinner, All men
are lost sinners; all can become re
deemed sinners and enter upon a life
of Infinite riches and joy, if they will,
by receiving Christ as their Saviour,
Lord, and Life.
Seven striking facts arc found In
this lesson,
1. The worst trouble and heart
break, that can come to any of us is
sin—our own sin. But there Is assur
ed comfort foe us even in this trou
ble, The Lord had just told self-con
fident, boasting Peter that fie would
fall into the shameful sin of betray
ing Him thrice, then the Lord at
once said: “Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in Me." There are no chapter
divisions in the original Scriptures,
and the two verses of warning and
comfort are together. By faith in
Christ as Saviour Peter could be res
tored even from that black sin.
2. Heaven is a place, We are some
times told that heaven is simply a
state of mind, a spiritual condition.
But Christ says: “In my Father's
house are many mansions ... I go
to prepare a place for you,” He did
nqt say, “I go to prepare a state of
mind for you."
3. Christ left this earth in His cruc
ified and resurrected body; He is
coming back to earth in that same
glorified body, “And if I go and pre
pare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto Myself;
that where I am, there ye may be al
so." It has been noted that “I will
come again” is as definite and literal
as “I go." Christ’s promises will all
be kept; He will keep this promise by
i His Second Coming. The New Testa
ment is filled with passages declaring
this “blessed hope."
4. But how can we go to be with
Christ if we do not k'now where He
is going, or the way? The disciple
Thomas made this objection. Christ’s
answer is one of the most wonderful
verses in the Bible: “Jesus saith unto
Him, I ant the way, the truth, and
the life; no man cometh unto the Fa
ther, but by Me.”
.So Christ Himself is the way, and
the only way, by which we can join
Him in heaven. Heaven is where the
Father is.
5. Christ is not only the way of
salvation, the way to God; He is also
the revelation of God, Another dis
ciple, Philip, said: “Lord, show us the
Father, and it sufficeth us." There
came a loving rebuke as the Lord
Jesus answered: “Have I been so long
time with you, and yet hast thou not
known Me, Philip? He that hath seen
Me hath seen the Father."
That was a daring, stupendous
claim. No other man in the history
of the world—except chalatans like
the negro “Father* Divine” of Har
lem—has c-ver dared to say, “When
you see me, you see God.” The Son
of man said it because'it was true.
6. Christ’s miracles were His cre
dentials, the proof of His Deity. For
He went on to sav: “Believe Me I
am in the Father, and the Father in
Me: or else believe Me for the very
works’ sake.” Toward the end of
John’s Gospel we read of the miracles
or “signs” lecorded; “These are writ
ten, that ye might believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God; and
that believing ye might have life
through His name" (John 20:31).
7. Finally the Lord made a state
ment to His disciples that must have
staggered them “Verily, verily, I say
unto you, he that believeth on Me,
the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall
he do; because I go unto my Father.”
Christ knew that He must 'return
to heaven after His crucifixion and
resurrection. But the “greater works,”
which God’s plan did not permit Him
to do during His earthly ministry,
were done by His disciples, and by
true evangelists’ and missionaries
from that day to this: the winning
of countless thousands of lost souls
to- actual membership in the body of
Christ, redeemed and born again by
faith in His shed blood and death in
their behalf.
Prayer was to be the secret of this,
the Lord explained; for, “whatsoever
ye shall ask in My name, that will I
do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son.”
Are we faithful in doing these
“greater works” that the Lord has
commissioned all who believe on Him
to do?
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
Following are highlights in the
Budget forecast presented in the
House of Commons by Finance Min
ister Charles Dunning:
Estimated expenditures for 1937-38
for all purposes, $520,000,000; esti
mated revenues, $485,000,000, leaving
deficit of $35,000,000, which is equal
to the net cash deficit of the Canad
ian National Railways,
Forecast of balanced Budget at end
of fiscal year 1937-38, provided, pres
ent improvement maintained.
No change in income, excise or sat
es taxes but some additions to ex
emptions under sales tax.
Numerous downward revisions of
tariff rates in general, intermediate
and preferential schedules, apart from
changes incidental to the new Canada-
United Kingdom Trade Agreement.
Free entry to Canada front all

093,000, an increase of $274,435,000
over 1936.
Canada advances io fourth place

export trade, and fifth place in total
trade. .
Visible and invisible trade figures,
including tourist traffic, show Canada
to have a favorable balance of $617,-

per cent, over the previous period,
Since the new Canada-United States
trade pact became effective, exports
to the United Siates have increased
26 per cent, and imports by Canada
18 per cent,
A warping against speculative fev
er such as brought on the financial
collapse of 1929 and expression of
Government's hopes this movement
may be restrained.
“The man who marries my daugh
ter will need a lot of money.”
“That is fortunate—no man needs
more money than I do.”
“Guess what there is for lunch."
“Let us have it first, dear, and then

A
PERSONAL
MESSAGE
from Fred W. Bray
1 BELIEVE that 1937 will be
a profitable year for the poul
tryman who lays his plans well
and carries them out thorough
ly _*, who refuses to be stam
peded “out” when he should
stay “in".
The present relationship be
tween feed prices and egg and
poultry prices is only tempor
ary. What is more important to
your poultry plans is the prob
able relationship between them
next summer and fall.
What with more employment in
the cities, heavier tourist traffic,
and the general slaughter of
laying flocks, I expect to see
egg prices more than offset
feed prices before midsummer.
In fact, I expect to see an actu
al shortage of eggs, by then. '
To reap the full benefit of that
situation it will be necessary to
have your flock developing fair
ly early. That means getting
your chicks fairly early. We
can supply your requirements
without delay, whether mixed
chicks, day-old pullets or day-
old cockerels. I think it will
pay you to book your order
right away,
