PURPOSES OF THE
JavreARNA.riox
Si, John 1:14- -"And the word was
made flesh and dwelt among us."
The expression "The Word" is a
New Testament one for Christ, the
Eternal •Son of God. The writer is
telling us that the Second Person
of the Trinity came into this world
clothed in human flesh and dwelt
among us. We have it in the words
of the text the greatest Christian
doctrine of the incarnation. Our
gospels are full of the doctrine .of
the clothing of the Son of God.
What does the word "Incarnation"
mean? Carnal means fleshly. Car-
niverous means flesh-eating and
carnation means a. flesh-colored
flower. Incarnation is the becoming
clothed in flesh, or the assumption
of flesh.
Two things here have to be un-
derstood. First, that before assum-
ing human nature, He previously
existed as the Son of God. We think
of the pre-existent Christ. Second,
that when He assumed human na-
ture He really and truly became a
man,
Why did the Son of God become
the Son of Man? Why did He come
into this world clothed in 'human
flesh? Why did God become man?
The New Testament gives . three
answers to this question.
1,—Christ came into this world
clothed in human flesh in order
that He might reveal the Father.
St. John 14:9 reads, "He that bath
seen me ]bath seen the Father."
Consider this simple yet sublime
statement. The last hours of Jesus
with his disciples were passing
away. Philip said, Lord show us the
Father and it sufficeth its. Jesus
said 'He that hath seen me hath
seen the Father.
In ail ages people have been ask-
ing, What is God like? Jesus taught
the love, holiness and power of God
the Father. He was• the incarna-
tion of God's love, He was the vis-
ible image of the invisible God
tColossians 1:16), He taught new
truth about God. He gave the world
the Christian conception of God.
Without this revelation of God we
would be holding today either
heathen conceptions of the Father
or Jewish ones, He was the re-
flection of God, the Invisible,
2.—Christ came into this world
clothed in human flesh in order to
seek and to save that which was
lost. See St. Luke 19:10, Jesus is
here defending His conduct against
the Pharisees who had murmurs
saying that He was 'gone to be a
guest with a man that is a sinner
(Zaccheaus). Replying to this crit-
icism he states that the Son of Man
is come to seek and to save that
which was lost. He came for the
express purpose of saving just such
a sinner as Zacchaeus. The New
Testament reveals a searching
Christ—one seeking the lost. How
long did the woman search tor the
lost coin? 'Until she found it. How
long did the shepherd search for
the lost sheep? Until he found it,
How long did the wonderful father
watch for the return of his lost
44 M140. A , i 4,4 0 0 0,0 1.
son? Until he found him. How
long will Christ seek the lost?
Until He finds them.
3.—Christ came into this world
clothed in 'human flesh in order
that he might destroy the works of
the devil, I John 3:18, reads: "To
this end was the son of God mani-
fested, that he might destroy the
works of the devil." The enemy
here is the devil. He is a liar, a be-
trayer, the foundation head of sin,
the lawless one, He is a mertlerer.
He destroys life, He alienates the
soul from God, He destroys the
spiritual. He is a liar, extinguish-
ing the truth, so that men blunder
along the way. All ignorance is the
result of the clouding of man's
vision of God. He extinguishes love.
Satan entered into the heart of
Judas and made him the betrayer.
All the greed you find in the world,
all the jealousy and all the cruelty
are the works of the devil.
Let us look at what "destroy"
means. It is a word that means to
dissolve, to loosen, to break into a
thousand pieces. It is the word used
in the Acts of the Apostles when
the boat that St. Paul was travel-
ling oh Was wrecked in the eastern
EVIediterranean. As a result of the
storm the vessel was broken up,
scattered and wrecked into a thous-
and parts. Over 1900 years ago the
Son of God came into the world
clothed in human flesh, and during
these years 'He has in the lives of
millions destroyed the works of the
devil. Give the incarnate Son of
God a chance to destroy the works
of the devil in your life.

This week the Old Girl and I will
observe our 14th anniversary, You
notice I didn't say "celebrate". We
just observe them, rather coldly.
She's been a little cool about an.-
niversaries since the time I bought
the present and the card, a few
years back,
She'd been beefing about her
paint brushes being hard to clean.
On our anniversary, I gave her a
lovely little package of paint brush
cleaner, suitably gift wrapped, I
also handed her a beautiful anni-
versary card, It cost me 40 cents,
and had flowers and cupids and all
sorts of things on it,
Only thing was that it was head-
ed off: "To my darling husband,
on our anniversary." I'd forgotten
to read it.

14 years was brought graphically

I looked around, and realized that

Fourteen years ago, I was a
young 'veteran of the •air force, full
of ginger and peculiar ideas. With
the aid of other young veterans and
various wenches, I had been suc-
cessful in getting throegh all my
gratuities in a few months of high
living. I was broke, free, cynical,
selfish, and happy as a trout.

These were pretty good days, in
retrospect. All I wanted td do was
read books, eat, drink and sleep
when I felt like it, and avoid per-

avoid work in any form, and my
only desire was to find some exotic
land' crawling with beautiful native
women, and there settle down in
the sun.
But, even as the walls of Jericho,
I tumbled. Like most young men of
that age, I was just like an egg. I

Fourteen years ago, I abhorred
the idea of possessions. I didn't
want to own anything. I didn't
want to sink any roots, Since then
I've collected an awesome assembly
of junk, and 'my roots are so far
down theylre blocking the sewers.
Besides the ball-and-chain, I've ac-
quired two children who eat like
sharks, two mortgages, a great 'big,

again? You're darn right I would.

and as we step off into the fif-
teenth year, I can't help giving
thanks for the gentle, lovely, stead-
fast help-mate who has been by my
side, ever ready with a word of en-
couragement, or a slam on the ear,

Perhaps the saddest part of the
.entire upheaval in the Congo is that
a largely sympathetic world is begin
ning to have second thoughts about
the wisdom of immediate freedom
for many of the black lands.
There has been so much written
.and said in recent years about the
duty of the colonial powers to free
their colonies that most civilized
peoples have become largely sym-
pathetic toward the aspirations for
freeedom which the colored people of
Africa entertain. There is a general
feeling that it is high time we recog-
nized them as equals in the general
scheme of creation, and gave them
full opportunity to work out their
own destiny.
The complete breakdown of gov-
ernmental control in the Congo, or
more accurately, the vivid proof
that there was in reality no govern-
ment with sufficient support to com-
mence control in the two-month-old
nation, has created grave doubt that
premature freedom is a favor to any
unready nation..
Colonialism, as such, was not the
outright slavery and exploitation
that many .would have us believe. It
was the outward expression of the
march of progress—without which
not one tribe on the continent of
Africa would have emerged from the
dank shade of its jungle haunts.
White missionaries, farmers, indus-
trialists and scientists were respon-
sible for the advancement of know-
ledge in Africa, as well as for many
of the tragedies enacted there.
Africa has seen not only slave
traders and greedy planters. . . . it
has received boundless compassion
and service from the Dr. Living-
stones and the Albert Schweitzers.
Millions upon millions of the white
man's money has been poured into
the study and cure of its diseases and
the education of its new born minds.
Right at present the whole civil-
ized world is screaming for the Bel,:
glans to get out of the Congo—de-
spite, the, fact that. the Congo .under„,.
Belgian rule, was generally conceded
to be the most progressive of all
LIFE TO THE END
The announcement last week of
the tragic death of Reynolds Mar-
sales no doubt spelled personal loss
for other of his friends in this com-
munity as it did for us. Though we
had not met him often we had great-
ly admired his way of living.
Mr. Marsales was typical of a
special breed of men who have found
the . secret of -maintaining keen in-
terest in all about .them into the
years of 01(1 age. Unlike so many
older people, who simply permit
time to dull them off, he appeared to
find each passing year held some-
thing new and interesting for his
attention. He had a most valuable
stamp collection, to which additions
were made at every opportunity.
Another of his collections was made
up of antique guns, one class of
which had been refurbished and put
in firing condition. Mr. Marsales
took a great interest in attending
special gatherings of other gun en-
thusiasts, where they held target
competitions,
Perhaps one of the answers was
that he had retired from business be-
fore his business became his master.
At a certain stage in his career he
decided that making money was rlo
longer necessary that he had
enough for his needs, and that it
was time to live fully.
There are few of us who are so
senSibly constituted, We are all in-
clined to pack too much living -into
our working years and too little into
the years when life provides its first
real opportunity for enjoyment. -

A LOOK BACK
(Hanover Post)
We pride ourselves on being a
forward-looking people. We foresee
a time in which life will be happier,
healthier, richer and more produc-
tive. We all hope that the world in
which our children will live out their
lives will be a better one than ours.
At the same time, it is the part
of wisdom to look back—if only to
recall some of the words that were
said long ago by men who helped
make this nation. For instance,
there is this : "I place economy
among the first and most important
virtues, and the public debt as the
greatest of dangers to be feared. To
preserve our independence,,,we must
not let our rulers load us with per-
petual debt.
"We must make our choice be-
tween economy and liberty, or pro-
fusion and servitude. If we run into
such debts, we must be taxed in .our
meat and drink, in our necessities
and our comforts, in our labors and
in our amusements.
can prevent the govern=
ment from wasting the labors of the
people under the pretense of caring
for them, they will be happy."
That was said by Thomas Jeffer-
son, whose contribution to the Am-
erican system of government, was,
perhaps, greater than that of any
other single man. The language' is
archaic, but the principle is crystal
clear. . We have gone a grimly long
distance in violating his doctrine.
The question is whether we shall
have the resolution, the strength, and
the wisdom to change our national
way before it is too late.
With cradle-to-grave security
politically secured, don't be surpris-
ed if next election candidates come
up with pre-natal to postmortem
concern for voters.
TAKE PILLS IN PRIVATE
(Stratford Beacon-Herald)
Parents of young children often
are reminded to keep drugs, med-
icines and household chemicals under
lock and key, or at least well out of
tne reach of the small-fry. The ob-
jective, of course, is to reduce the
possibility of accidental poisoning.
One other aspect of such accident
prevention generally is overlooked.
It is reported in the current issue of
the Journal of the American Acad-
emy of Pediatrics. In brief, parents
should take their pills in private.
In a study last year at the
Norwalk (Connecticut) Hospital's
poison centre, Dr. Alfred J, R,Xott-
mans, found that sixty-seven per
cent of the children who had swal-
lowed potentially-poisonous, pills
had watched their parents taking
similar pills. Not only should med-
icines be kept out of sight and reach
of children, Or. Xountatis concluded,
but the use of them should also be
kept out of sight.
In the first half of this year
Alberta's poison control service re-
corded 413 cases of accidental poi-
soning from drugs and ?neditatioris.
No one can say how many of these
cases resulted from children seeing
their parents taking tri&licints, but
no doubt the figure is substantial,
