Sunday' School Lesson
BY 'OHARL,ES'tC. 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

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

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

li ho ever heard of a hive of bees that in one day
VI!t gathered no less than 25 pounds of honey? 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

In here with lees than his full; loud gots lute teouble and

And how they worked that day! 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

OUR PIGMY ANIMALS.
Nothing is More Difficult. to (mese
Than the Weight of Animals.
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.
