DATED at Wingham the 2nd day of March, A.D. 1937. R. S .HETHERINGTON, Wingham, Ontario, 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).

Smith’s Store, SEAFORTH Box 498 By Peter S. Fisher 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.

The faster you Went, the farther you went, the sooner you got back arid the less you spent. One night there 'was a great six- mile race on. The start was made at the Kent Block corner. All and sun­ dry were in it. A baker’s helper to Alf Nichol, Weber by name, was held on his wheel by a friend and shook like a leaf in the wind from nervous­ ness. Art Irwin played a good joke on the crowd that waited for the speedsters to come sifting in the gra­ vel. He, on his old step-ladder var­ iety, went as far as Scott St., got off and . waited for some time, the.n mounted again, rode down Scott St. to where the old pottery waS and came rushing in to town for all he was worth. He laughed so much him. self and made such amazing times that few were deceived for many minutes. Who won, I do not recall, do you? John Ritchie did not enter. At the corner of Scott St and Vic­ toria, you remember Andy Murray’s blacksmith shop. That was another hive of Industry. One day when Andy, was dancing the hammer on the anvil as he shaped £HOe like a curve of Mae West, a red hot bit of iron about the side of a citron seed, leaped from the anvil out on to the road where waddling ducks were quacking, Owe duck, s mallard, beautifully marked, quickly seized the red hot metal which aS soon as swallowed came through its neck, Whether it got better arid % THERE’S NO DELAY WHEN YOU ORDER A NEW CHEVROLET ONE RIDE PROVES IT!

That was one case where it was not wise to strike when the iron was hot.- A blacksmith’s shop, .and few there are now; is a place I always liked to frequent. How interesting to watch the glistening face of the smith, sil­ houetted against the 'yellow flame, high rising from the big breathing bellows. Waiting horses were tied to the -big rings in the side of the oppo­ site wall. The man of leisure was there, a man of enforced idleness, sit­ ting cross-legged on the nail-keg with his right fore-arm supported at knee and chin. No matter what sub­ ject came bp, he knew it all and his opinion was the final and correct view. His last observation was usual­ ly prefaced with' the words “If I had my Way” and it was at this point that the rest of us felt so sorry for his wife. That kind are always with us. They form a great problem for those who support them, whether they are a pri­ vate or a public charge.
