E LESSON ITS
TH IN
Time The conversation n rsatiori of J e•
sue with the three disciples took
place in February, A.D. 27. The late
Professor David Smith says that
the Interview with John and And-
rew took place on the Sabbath day,
and the interview with Simon Peter
on tho day following. The miracle
of the phenomenal draught of fish-
es occurred in April, A,D., 28,
Place — The interview of Jesus
with the three disciples was at or
near Bethauy, beyond Jordan, near
where Christ had been baptized,
The miracle of the great draught
of fishes occurred on the Sea of
Galilee, not far from the city of Ca•
pernattm.
The lesson opens at the very out-
set of the public ministry of the
Lord Jesus Christ. In this first
chapter of John's Gospel we have
recorded the early ministry of John
the Baptist and the baptism of Je-
sus.
Now occurs an event of the
greatest significance. Two follow-
ers of John the Baptist, as soon as
they heard what their master said
about Jesus, turned from the fore-
runner of Christ to Christ himself.
40. One of the two that heard
John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He Brought His Brother
91, He findeth first his own bro-
ther Simon. Andrew in a few hours'
fellowship with Jesus had become
pereuaded that this person Jesus
was none other than the Meselab,
df whom all the Old Testament wri-
ters prophesied.
41, And saith unto him, We have
round the Messiah (which is, be-
fog interpreted, Christ,
42. He brought him unto Jesus.
This was the greatest thing that
ndrew ever did. Andrew was not
a great man, but he brought one of
the greatest of the apostles to the
feet of Jesus,
42, Jesus looked unto him. The
face of Jesus searched men and dis-
covered the secrets of their hearts,
And said, Thou are Simon the son
of John. The apostle Jahn In this
very Gospel says of Jesus, "He
needed not that any one should
bear witness concerning man; for
he himself knew what was in man."
(2:25).
A New Name
42. Thou shalt be called Cephas .
(which is by Interpretation, Peter).
Our Lord, in giving Simon a new
name, gave him a new hope.
1. Now it came to pass, while, the
multitude pressed upon him and
heard the word of God, that he was
standing by the lake 01 Ceunesar-
et; 2. and he saw two boats stand-
ing by the lake; but the fishermen
had gone out of them, and were
washing their nets.
The principal Industry in Seaua'
time was tishing. The nets most
commonly used by the Galilean fi-
shermen, when boats were avail-
able, were what were called drag-
nets, each net being hung in a
aemletrele between two or more
Boats, far out In the lake, and the*
di'aggod ashore,
3, And he entered one et the
boats, which was Simon's, and ask.
ed him to put out a little from the
Baud. And he sat down and taught
the multitudes out of the boat,
"Master"!
4. And when he had lett speaking
Ile said unto Simon, Put out Into
the deep, and let down your nets
for a draught. 5, And Simon an-
swered and said, Master, we toll-
ed all night, and took nothing; but
at thy word I will let down the
nets, It wasall right for our Lord
t t
g
to take the leading place that day
when 1t came to the meter of the
preaching and teaching, but Peter
ions not quite so keen about the
Lord's making suggestlons regard-
ing the fishing business, in which
Peter had spent all of his working
life, and about which, humanly
speaking, Jesus was supposed to
know very little.
6. And when they had done this,
they inclosed a great multitude of
fishes; and their nets were break-
ing; 7, and they beckoned unto
their partners in the other boat,
that they should come and help
them, And they came, and filled
both the boats, so that they began
to sink, Everything here turns upon
the revelation of a mastery of nat-
ure claimed by Jesus.
8. But Simon Peter, when he saw
it, fell down at Jesus' knees, say-
ing, Depart from me; for I am a
sinful man, 0 Lord. 9. For he was
amazed, and all that were with him,
at the draught of the fishes which
they had taken; 10. and so were
also James and John, sons of Zebe-
dee, who were partners with Simon.
As with Peter, so with all believ-
ors. The hour of the revelation .of
Jesus' grace and love are the times
of the deepest abasement. And
those times are for the most part
not at the beginning, but In the la-
ter progress of the life of faith.
Fishers of Men
10, And Jesus said unto Simon,
Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men. The Lord speaks
of the unknown in terms of the
known. I3e uses their intimate ac-
quaintance with their daily occupa-
tion to unfold to them the nature
of the work to which he was calling
them.
11, And when they had brought
their boats to land, they left all,
and followed him. Jesus would have
every Christian be a fisher of men.

Cancer _Causes
Every Ninth
Death Here
Was Second Highest Cause of
Death in Canada Last
Year
TORONTO,—One out of eery
nine people who died in Canada
last year was a victim of cancer
which is now the second highest
eauec of death in this country.
This toll ofnod r] 1,000 a
v
month could be cut to 500 accord-
ing to Dr, C. C, Ross, Executive
Secretary of the Canadian Society
for the Control of Cancer, the
new organization that has been
established under the sponsorship
of the Canadian Medical Associa-
tion and with the co-operation of
prominent medical men and lay-
men in every province,
Half of the present deaths could
be prevented if people would see
tluer medical advisers for early
diagnosis of the slightest symp-
tom, submit to a periodic health
examination and obtain adequate
treatment in the early stages.
View Lumps With Suspicion
Cancer of the lip, he said, oc-
curred mainly in men and usually
among pipe smokers. If a pipe
smoker developed a soreness, hard
spot, crack or ulcer on his Hp
which would not heal, he should
at once see a doctor. Cancer of
the mouth occurred among people
who did not keep their mouths
clean, he said.
Lumps, swellings or masses ap-
pearing anywhere on the body
should be viewed with suspicion.
Perhaps not at first cancerous,
they night change in time and
become cancers. Warts, moles and
birthmarks were harmless unless
they suddenly started to a ow..
Sudden indigestion in people past
forty, who had had healthy stom-
achs all their lives, was the com-
monest symptom of cancer in the
food passages.
King Will Speak
Very Little Here
Public Addresses to be Reduced
To Minimum During
Tour
King George is desirous of cut-
ting his speech -snaking on his Can-
adian tom' to the irreducible mini-
mum, it is understood.
Presumably. when the Ring does
speak, briefly, for five or ten min-
utes on occasion, arrangements will
be made by the C.B.C. for carrying
his words across the Dominion, to
the United illiagdom, to the British
Dominions and possibly also to
other parts of the world,
The Ring will likely make at
least four short; speeches, at Qhe-
bec.when he lands, at some func-
tion at Ottawa. at soine'point in the
West and at Halifax before he sails
with Queen Elizabeth for home.
Queen Elizabeth, 1t is recalled,
made a favorable impression in
boor the United 'Kingdom and other
parts of the Commonwealth with
her speech In substituting for Ring
George during the Czecho-Stovahian
crisis at the launching of the Queen
Elizabeth, sister ship of the Queen
Mary, in Scotland this fall, Pos-
sibly an opportunity will be afford-
ed Queen Elizabeth also to speak
over the air while In Canada.
May Learn Even
Better at Forty
Dr. E. A. Corbett, of Toronto, di-
rector of the Canadian Association
for Adult Education, speaking last
week before the Women's Canadian
Club of Sudbury, said he believes
that "adult education is as old as
the wisdom of man, but it is a term
Hutt has been In use for only ten
or tlfeei years."
Sweeping the World
Dr. Corbett declared that adult
education "Is a movement which
is sweeping the world, and a move-
ment that is most urgent in the
Dominion of Canada." The speaker
traced the movement from its con-
ception lu Scotland as a modern
school about 150 years ago, adding:
"We know now that education is
not static, but progressive, that a
man may be better able to learn at
90 than at 20,"

Relative importance of the west

and British Columbia, he said In a
paper delivered before the prairie

Our Dependence on West
It was unlikely, he added, that
the west would resume its former
dominant position. Nevertheless,
the west continued to hold a vital
relationship to the national econ•
omy.

ing industry, transportation and of
a great many other industries are

Electrification
Of Rural Areas
In Nova Scotia
Is Being Provided at a Cost Leu
Than That in Any Other
Canadian Province
Rural electrification services in
Nova Scotia are being provided at
a cost less than that in any other
Canadian province, J. J. Doolan,
general superintendent of the
light and power division of the
Nova Scotia Light and Power
Company told the Halifax branch
of the Engineering Institute of
Canada.
Contrasting the amount and
method of Government aid to util-
ities companies of Ontario and
and Nova Scotia, Doolan said that
Ontario gave a grant-in-aid of 50
per cent. of the cost of the com-
pleted line. And needed addition
to the service charge also was as-
sumed and loans for wiring made
farmers.
$2.50 Per Kilowatt Hour
By the Nova Scotia Rural Elec-
trification Act, domestic service
charges over $1.25 were bonused
and the Provincial Treasury paid
extra costs in servicing any dis-
trict where there were three
customers per mile and a potential
of six customers.
. Rates in Nova Scotia were "par-
ticularly good." In Ontario the
cost for a small farm was about
2.80 a kilowatt hour. In Nova
Scotia the small farm could get
the same service for $2.50.
Making Probe
Of Marketing
Farm Problems Are Under Sur-

tion for the Coming Season
of Parliament
Canadian agricultural marketing
problems are now being specially
studied by leading ofitcials of the
Dominion Agricultural Department
at the request of Hon. James G.
Gardiner, Minister. After Mr.
Gardiner receives the report of his
officials he will consider whether a
general marketing ant is to be in-
troduced at the coming session of
Parliament.
While it was ruled ultra vires of
the Federal Parliament by the
Privy Council, the Natural Pro-
ducts Marketing Act is still or the
Dominion statute books.
Livestock a Problem
One agricultural marketing prob-
lem which Is engaging the special
attention of departmental officials
is that with regard to livestock
about which theve has been so
much talk in recent years. The
problem la of special interest to the

THE word anthracite is derived from the Greek anthrax, mean-
ing "coal." Since it a noun, it is incorrect to say "anthracite
coal.' When referring to hard coal, the word anthracite is suffi-
cient. Bituminous, however, being an adjective, should be followed
by the word coal.
