Solicitor for the Executor.
The prayer of loftiest spiritual
heights in all the Bible fills the sev
enth chapter of John's Gospel. Other
very wonderful prayers are recorded,
in the Old Testament and the New—
prayers that could have come only
from human hearts moved by God’s
Holy Spirit. Some of these were
voiced by Moses, David; Solomon,
Daniel, and Paul. But none of them,
exalted though they are in spirit and
subject, can be compared with this,
the high-priestly prayer of the Lord
Jesus Christ. It was uttered the night
before His crucifixion, and, while not
His last prayer on earth, was His last
recorded prayer of Intercession in be
half of His apostles, and in behalf of
the entire Church of Christ that was
to come into being. For the Lord
prayed, concerning the apostles: “Nei
ther pray I for these alone, but for
them also which shall believe on Me
through their word.”
Is it not a remarkable fact, and
does it not put God’s own seal upon
prayer as a vital necessity, that the
Son of God, Himself God, the Creat
or and Saviour of men, prayed during
His earthly lifetime as no man has
ever prayed, and continues to pray
today? "We have an advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the right
eous” (1 John 2:1), who “ever liveth
to make intercession for them’’ (Heb.
7:25)—that is, for all “that come un
to God by Him.”
If the Son of God needed to pray,
and still prays, surely we need to
pray.
Nothing took Christ by surprise.
He knew tiiat Judas, one of the apost
les, was’ going to betray Him. He
knew that the Jewish Council or- San
hedrin was going to condemn Him to
death, and that, by the authority of
the Roman Government, He was go
ing to be crucified. He knew also
that He was going tp rise again front
the dead on the third day, later
cend back to His Father iii IfoliVen,
and still later come back again to
this earth to reign over it. All this
He plainly foretold.
Yet, as the hour of' His shameful
death approached, He prayed: “Fa
ther, the hour is come; glorify Thy
Son, that Thy Son also may glorify
Thee.” We saw in the lesson of two
weeks ago that' Christ'prayed, con
cerning the death for which He came
from heaven to earth, “Father, glor
ify Thy name” (John 12:28). So God
was glorified in the death of His Son,
who laid down His life that lost sin
ners might be saved from the second
death, the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14).
There is only one Saviour, only
one way of salvation, and Christ de
clared this in His high-priestly pray
er. To the Father He said: “Thou
hast given Him (the Son) power over
all flesh, that He should give eternal
life to as many as Thou hast given
Him.” What is eternal life, and how
is it obtained? “And this is life et
ernal, that they might know Thee the
only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom Thou hast sent.”
Let no one think that he can know
God and reject, or be indifferent to,
Christ.
The world, or kosmos, which is a
Greek word occurring repeatedly in
this chapter for mankind or the world
system, is opposed to God. This is
made plain in this high-priestly pray
er as in other .parts of the Bible.
“Whosoever will” may come out of
the world and be saved by receiving
Christ as Saviour. Christ made God
known unto the men “which Thou
gavest me out of the world.” Then
He says plainly: “I pray for them:
I pray not for the world, but for
them which Thou hast given Me.”>
Again: “I have given them Thy word,
and the world hath hated them, be
cause they are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world.”
■ But Christians must live in the
world, so the Lord prays: “I pray hot
that-Thou shouldst take them out of
the world, but that Thou shouldst
keep thefn front the evil.”
This vitally important distinction
between the world and the body of
true belieyers, and the basic antag
onism of the world to God, is brought
out in John 15:7-11; 17:6, 9, 14, 16,
25, It will make a profitable study
j for any Sunday school class, and ex
plains why Christ asks His true
Church to be separated from the
world, and why He calls Satan “the
prince of this world” (John 12:81;
14:30; 16:11).
There are seven distinct petitions
in this high-priestly prayer, which
have been noted by others as fol
lows: (1) That Jesus may be glori
fied as the Son who has glorified foe
Father (v. 1; Phil. 2:9-11); (2) for
restoration to the eternal glory (v.
5); for the safety of believers from
(a) the world (v. 11), (b) the evil
one (v. 15); (4) for the sanctification
of believers (v. 17); (5) for the spir
itual unity of believers (v. 21); (6)
that the world may believe (v. 21);
(7) that believers may be with Him
in heaven to behold and share His
glory (v. 24).

Those bicycle days were
days. What a fad it, was to
wheel and what an honor too.
were more makes of wheels on peo
ple’s tongues than today there are
makes of cars. The Sterns, the Gend-
son, the Red Bird, the Cleveland, and
a host more. Jim Long’s was the
chief bicycle repair emporium as I
remember’ such things. He did a
thriving business in his ultra quiet
fashion and surprised the entire town
by building a passenger vessel to ply
up and down the Maitland from the
famous foot-bridge to that .elongated
Island at the rear of Elliott’s prairie.
The water was deep enough to go
up still further but The Island, so-
called, was an uncensored swimming
station and consisted of friendly elm-
saplings (or were they willows) and
a good sized clearing, in the centre
of which were the embers and ashes
of yesterday's fire.
The fire was lighted before we went
in to the bowl-shaped entrance to the
river and our scanty clothing could
be seen in close proximity to the ris
ing smoke from foe crackling branch
es. We chose sides as in baseball
and dove in the water for a white
door-knob. Bubbles could frequently
be seen rising from the laughing
mouths of the ?>oys foeneafo the sur
face, <i§ the ludicrous sight of those
lOrlg-arm struggles for the knob
could be seen close to the sand and
gravel bottom. It was a great game
especially in the afternoon when tne
light was good. Some of the boys
were occasionally a little late getting
home for the evening meal as it took
'quite a while even with the aid of
strong eye-teeth and nimble fingers
to untie the knots in the arms of
their shirts. This mean practice was
called “chawing beef.” I don’t know
the origin of the term. f
This swimming' pool was also pop
ular in. the evening with boys of a
larger growth, and so it happened
that Jim Long, the first and only nav
igator of the peaceful Maitland in a
modern vessel, turned his worthy
craft in midstream at a- distant view
of these naked savages paying as he
did so, an elaborate tribute to his
personal modesty. I think the fare
was fifteen cents or two for a quart
er. That was enough, because after
it was over it .was the thing to do to
treat your sweetheart to a dish of
ice cream in Jimmy McKelvie’s smart
restaurant. That was the first res
taurant where- I saw moral courage
at'its' best, when I heard a, lady ask
one of the agile waitresses for “A
dish of ice cream, and two spoon?,
please.” Small profits, quick1, returns.

Alf Nichol, Weber by name, was held
on his wheel by a friend and shook
like a leaf in the wind from nervous
