TRUMBULI. (Editor or The p,jt+day ,lohoe Tones) THE SON OF GOP BECOME$ MAN. Sunday, ‘1,-.", 3—Jahn 1:1.18, • Golden Text: mow. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begot- ten of the Father), full of grace and - truth (John 1;14). For three months we are to study the Gospel of John. There are twenty-one chapters in the Gospel, and only a. dozen weeks available in the quarter, which means that quite a 'number of chapters are omitted from the lessons. But they need not be omitted from our study. Tt would be a rewarding experience to read the entire Gospel through each week dur- ing the quarter, Few of us have gained the blessings we could from what is called synthetic Bible study —reading books as wholes, and thus mastering their message in a large way. Our lesson material has been div- ided by a well -know Bible teacher into seven sections: 1. The Deity of Jesus Christ (vs. 1, 2)—The first verse of Genesis, and the first few verses of John, may .well be read together. "In the beginning. was the Word;, . , . ,all things were made by Him." We often overlook the fact that not only Christ is Gad, but also Christ is Creator, (Eph. 3: 9; Col. 1;18,17). Christ and the Bible are the two perfect Words of God: the Living and the Written. There is a rich study in the many parallels between- Christ and the Bible. 2. Christ's Preincarnation Wort: - rr er to become the eons pf God, even to them that belive on His name.' Then follows en inspired description bf the new birth, whereby lost sin- ners become twice -born men and sons of God Flesh and blood birth never. sables a ran, nor can he, by willpow- er, become a child, of God. It is the birth from above, wholly the act of God, by grace through faith in Christas Saviour, by which alone one enters the family of God. This Inas- sage exposes the fallacy and nnscrip- turalness of the popular idea of, the. "universal fatherhood of God end brotherhood of man. God is the Creator of all men; but He is the spiritual father only of,those who re- ceive Christ as Saviour. 6. The Incarnation (v. 14)—All that has preceded in this ebapter is now identified with the man Jesus, as we read that "the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us," His mis- sion in coming to earth, that of sav- ing men by his substitutionary death. on the cross. is given in the words' that he was "full of grace and truth." Truth is God's righteousness and jus- tice, and necessarily condemns sin- ners. Grace is God 'offering Himself as the sinner's substitute, and saves the sinner. 7. The Witness of John the Bap- tist (vs. r5-18)—This section really runs beyond the end of this lesson to veres 84. The closing verse of the lesson (v. 18) declares a truth often overlook- ed. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son... .Bath declared Him." But what of the many appearances of God to men in (vs. 3.5)—The Father, the Son anti the Old Testament times? This, and the Holy Spirit are all in this first ` many other Scriptures show that such chapter of John (vs. 1, 2, 14, 18, 32, ! appearances or theophanies were of - 33). TO this second section of the ten, perhaps usually those of the Sec- lesson we are told of two of the'' and Penson of the Trinity. If we works of the Second Person of the `.would see God in this life we must Trinity; His creating, and His light- l `gook to Jesus." shining. . We are also told "that "in I Him was life"; and we know froth i NORTH HURON ELECTION CASE (Monday's London Free Press.) other Scriptures that there is life hr no other. Indeed, life is one of the great key words of the Gospel of John; let us be on the lookout for f6 throughout the book. Alongside of verse 4 should be placed John's statement of his purpose in writing The scene of action au the \North Huron election 'tangle has been shift- ed to the Ontario Supreme Court, thence to the appellate division and back to the county judge who eon - ducted the recount. After ali, Judge Lewis has had the most difficult post• tion of any. In the brief comment the Gospel (20:31). which hie honor has permitted him. In the midst of the brightness of self in regard to developments in the the glory of the revelation of Christ, given in these verses, there are three spots of blackness, even tragedy, Christ was the light of men, shining in the darkness of a sinful world; yet "the darkneeS comprehended it not" •(v, 9). Again, when He was in the World. which He had made, "the world knew Him not" (v, 10). And when He came unto His own, Himself be- ing born a Jew, "His own, received Him not" (v. 11). d. The Ministry "of John the Bap tilt (vs. 6-8). John's own life was so shining and meteoric, and his message so ,powerful, that men might well ,have. thought he was the Mes- siah. But he let it be plainly known that he was not the Light, hut was sent to bear witness of that Light (v. 8), 4., Jesus Christ the True Light, (vs. 9, 10)—Ciuist "was the true. Light. which 1igbtoth every roan that cometh into the world" (v. 9). From this, people mistakenly draw the oto elusion that every one has "the inner Light, or Christ, dwelling within, case, Judge Lewis points out to flim that it is entirely a matter of• carry- ing _out the law its it appears on the statute books and that lie ie not con- cerned 'as to how the interpretation affects the respective.candidates. Tho general public, of course, is chiefly interested in the result of such inter- pretation and not the law itself. At the seine time there seems to. be a general disposition to uphold the county judge inhis declaration that the law, as finally decided, roust be carried out, irrespective of its int: mediate effect- The press, even where arguing tlsat the will of the electors was plainly in favor of the Progres- sive candidate, has been uniformly sympathetic toward the county judge M his difficult position. An exception is the Kitchener Re- cord, which, complains that "in the confusion of opinions on meanings, jurisdictions and priority, as between provincial and federal laws, you lose sight of the simple and only essential fact that every voter wanted the man onthe od mark namehad whose he , i�- (1 a c = r 's Eve in Minta:. ville New Year y at that -time urged a by-election as the only way to clear up the situa- tion.

Theee was no doubt of the intention of the voters. Mr, Bennett, if these baI- lots had been counted, would have had a substantial majority.

If anyone doubts that the busy bee oar be us busy as all that, refer him to Mr. W. D. Wright who has a large and prosperous sentry near Souris, which is in southern Manitoba on the Canadian Pacific. Railway, and if anybody doubts thee fertility' of the Province of Manitoba or wonders if summer suns there shine down on wide fields of glorious bloom let him read the following which is gathered from the Centrum( of the "Souris Plaindealcr. It was on July 810 last that the hive of bees beside which Mr. Wright stands in the above picture gathered and attired the twenty -'five pounds and established e record for tide continesit and porheps for the whole world. There was no doubt about its being true, because the Provincial Department of Agriculture made the test. From July 18 to Augusta, the hivoatood on a scale and every evening when the bees' work was done and they had gathered around their fireside to talk it over, the weight of the hive was taken, The first gain was 011. July 14 When 1,14 pounds was brought in and from that quantity the.daily take varied tip to 14 and 16 pounds. But on uly 31 the bees'got together and made a special effort 1 just to show what they could do in the way of establishing records, perhaps they had lust discovered that their efforts were being roeorded. Anyway we can imagine that the night before, he limen palled the crowd together, or Perhaps orsly the captains of teams, and pard Something like thin:--- "New, bora the world's got its eyo on you and to- irsolrronr's'the city we go over the top.

They worked all the other days of the season too, because the total honey produced for the season was 496144 pounds, Of course there were two or throe rainy days whets they stayed at ]some and didchores res arounda the hive,' isd two or three other days when it didn't rain, but they stayed home anyway to look after the local elections or something like, that. And when it was alt over iso doubt the queen said "Well, it's been a pretty good worldn g season, I'll tell the world and as always is the case the Queen was right. Having proved her superiority as an organizer etc. it was natural that wider spheres of endeavour should call to this queen, so Mr. Wright shipped her to a big Bee firm in Alabama who are sending him another queen now, ten of her daughters next spring and three two - pound packages. of bees with three more of her daughters rn command.

In the old days, when we used gold coins, it was a cowmen puzzle to ask a friend how many banknotes it would take to weigh a sovereign. Stere is a goalies puzzle to winch you wilt certainly get a wrong answer from most people. How many bees does it take to weigh an ounce? Twenty is the usual answer, but some bold spirits will go so far as fifty. Actually, it takes three hundred worker bees to weigh an ounce, and of drones, about one hundred. Notlitug is more difficult to guess than the weight or animals. Do you know the tiny harvest mouse which may sometimes be seen climbing up a stalk of wheat and eating the ripe grains? It Is one of the two smallest British quadrupeds, but even so, you would hardly guess that the little cerature can be balanced in the scales by a halfpenny. The other is- the pigmy shrew, a little sharp -snouted fellow which may be. even a tr1Se smaller than the harvest mouse. The ordinary house mouse, small as It seems, is more than three times as heavy as its outdoor cousin. Birds, having hollow bones, are wonderfully light for their sire. Of British birds, says Tit -Bits, the small- est Is the golden -crested wren, of which a pair do not weigh euite one ounce. The little brown wren weighs just half an ounce when fully grown. Perhaps the lightest birds for their apparent size are bulls. Those gulls which you see soaring over the Thames in Loudon seem to have a considerable spread of wing, yet their avesagc weight is only about five ounces, All the soaring birds are bunt very lightly, and this elassitleation in- cludes the birds of prey. Even so big and powerful a Creature as tate golden eagle does not scale at most more than ten pounds, yet an eagle weighing eight pounds can. lift and carry away a full-grown hare weigh- ing quite as much as itself. The heaviest bird that dies is the bustard. -hi full-grown male of the great bustard will measure eight feet from tip to tip of its extended wings and weigh as much as tttirti• pounds.
