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 countries of small personal gifts. • Restoration next April of 5 per cent, reduction from civil servant sal­ aries, now applied to all salaries of $1,200 or over, 'Total trade in 1036 up to $1,663,- 093,000, an increase of $274,435,000 over 1936. Canada advances io fourth place among: trading nations of world in 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,- 000,000 of exports over imports. During the last fiscal year tourists spent $250,000,000, an increase of 24 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 I will guess what it was,” BORN CURRIE—In East Wawanosh, on Wednesday, February 17th, to Mr, and Mrs. George Currie, a dau­ ghter.

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, Fred W. BRAY Limited CHICK HATCHERY A, C. Adams, Agent Wingham Ontario with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Chamney. The meeting of the W. A. and W. M. S. will be held on Thursday, Mar. 11th, at the home of Mrs. Charlie Jef­ ferson. Ladies come prepared to quilt.
