Verse 12, Then, On one of the even- ings of the toast of tabernacles the golden lamps in the courts of the temple were lighted, and, as if in re - aeons°, all the streets and housetops in the oily were illuminated by the rejoicing people, Perhaps on the day following, while Ibis blaze of light was still in the minds of the people, Jesus spoke the words of this verse. He was ever quick to see the correspondence between things seen and un- seen, and to show " spiritual law in the natural world." 1. Let our eyes be open to see divine analogies Lo earthly events, Again. Calling atten- tion to the discussions of rho previous chapter. The incident of the woman taken in adultery is passed over as an interruption. The light of the world, He had already said to his dis- ciples, " Ye are the light of the world," Matt. 5. 14; and that is true. But disciples aro only torch bearers, and they obtain their1 ight from him who d is its source an life. Other lights r may ,burn dim, o go out in darkness; that is the True Light which never fails. .Sow much of this world's light u in nineteen centuries past has come from Jesus ! The world's light of civ- ilization, of learning, of ohmmeter, of philanthropic inter st in humanity, has all been lighted a his fire. Contrast w e t the Christian world with the Moham- medan or the pagan, and see how much earth owes to Jesus Christ. 2. Let us receive light from him, and than Im- part that light to others who need it. Followeth Inc. All that Christ asks of men is to follow him ; but that simple words means the absolute surrender of their will to him. B. We cannot follow Jesus and have our own way unless his way is our way too. Not walk in darkness. This is a dark world to one who walks alone in it. We are like wanderers on the prairie in a blizzard; like sailors in a storm with- out a pilot; like strangers in the mazes of a city. We need a guide, and in Christ we have one. 4. Happy is he who can hold on to Christ's hand in this world. The light of life. Not merely a light which he holds, but one which ie in him, so that he himself becomes luminous, and gives light to others. 5. There is an inner light to every disciple. Verses 13 to 30 are not given as a part of the lesson, but should be read carefully both by the teacher and the student. They give the outline of a discussion between Jesus and the un- friendly Pharisees; a discussion which resulted in many of the common peo- ple, and perhaps some of the rulers, accepting Jesus in a general way as an inspired teacher. 31, Jews which believed on him. Note the Revised Version, "had believ- ed him," not "believed on him." There is a vast difference between believing Christ, accepting his words as true, and believing on him, reeling their faith upon him as a personal Saviour. Many to -day stand where these Jews stood, believing in the truth of Jesus's words, but by no means taking him to their hearts by faith. Yet the be- lieving Jesus is an important step to- varci the believing on him. 0. Teach- er, urge your scholar not only to take the first step of belief, but also the second step of faith. If ye continue n my word. Revised Version, "abide iu my word." They supposed that to 'ecognize Jesus formally as their na- tional Messiah was sufftoient. Jesus 'eminds theta that they are to dwell in his word as we, live in the air which ve breathe, and as that air lives in us, nd inspires us. My disciples indeed. The very word"disciple" means a earner. Those Jews who accepted Christ are now to become students in is school, to receive his instructions, o walk in fellowship with him, and o model their lives after his. They were, in a sense, "disciples in word" y accepting Christ; they become 'disciples indeed" in following Christ. Happy is he wtho is a disciple in - 32.

According to the Iaw of universal gravitation the moon attraat's matter whish stands near to her more strong- ly than that which is more remote. It follows that the attraction on the ocean, at the side re the earth which is nearest to the moon, must be greater than that exercised on the solid earth lteeit.. Hence there is a tendenoy for the sen to depart from its natural spheri- cal shape and to bulge outward toward the moon. So far the matter Is simple, bat it is perplexing to many that the moon should apparently repel the water lying on the further side of the earth, Thie action, however, is not due to any aotual repulsion from the moon, but results from the fact that on the further side the moon must attract the solid earth more strongly than it does the water. On the nearer side the moon pulls the water away from the earth, and on the further side she pulls the earth away from the water, thus producing an apparent repulsion of the water to the attraction on the other side.
