UNDAI SCHOOL LESSON BY 12ey It 8 vvt,r,en. H A 3 D. God Revealed In Christ Sohn 1: 14 - 23, 29 - 36 Memory Selection: These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. John 20:31 Our studies about Christ for this year are from the Gospel of John. Of all the books of the Bible, this is the one which has been printed and distributed most widely. Many people have real- ized their need and been led to the Saviour as they have read its wondrous truths. It inspires the hearts and feeds minds of devout Christians and appeals forcefully to sincere seekers after truth. It accomplishes well its purpose as stated in the memory verse. The pre-existersce and deity of Christ are clearly set forth. Most of the world acknow- ledges Jesus as a great teacher. But John goes much farther than that. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. --And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." Matthew writing especially for the Jews traces the lineage of Jesus from Abraham. the father of the Jewish nation, Luke in his ap- appeal to the Gentile world traces the lineage back to Adam, But 'John gives the Divine side, The Christ existed with God. be- fore Abraham and before Adam, "All things were made by Him." No wonder John the Baptist acknowledges Jesus as of high rank. No wonder that when John saw Jesus coming to him he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the stn of the world," Only as we grasp the truth that Jesus was The Son of God, can we believethe record of His miracles and believe on Him for the forgiveness of our sins and the cleansing of aur nature- If he were not the Son of God the whole world would be lost for there would be no way back to God. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born; not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.' If you have received this power then you know that Sesus is the Son of God. Electric "Hot -Foots" Until now, we had doubted that English economist's predic- tion there would be no depres- sion here as long as Americans' fantastic appetite for gadgets en- dures. Maybe the appetite was still there, but nothing really amazing had come along to satis- fy it since the zipper. But now arrives another to stir dumfoundment, stimulate the wanties and administer a spending hot -fruit to consumer eonsmnption. It fills, the an- nouncement implied, a tong -felt need, If it proves unfelt, you can return it for another in better working order, The new fillip is electrically - heated socks for men. And it couldn't happen to a better sea-`' son, Imagine: When winter's snows flutter down, what nicer for for him who likes sleeping with feet out the bed foot than auto- matic tootsie anti -freeze? Or for. the jaded pedestrian, bus -bound after a sluggish day, a built-in sprint with the flick of a switch, Then there is the junior execu- tive, who sorely needs olTset against the boss's cold glare at feet on the desk. Perfect for the maladjusted individual. Tentative, tiltillating analysis, in fact, discloses no defect more serious than the hazard of 'short- circuit shock to pigeon-toed people. In a way, though, it suggests science has at last stubbed its toe, Finding nothing productive to do with feet Idled by auto - matte clutch and gearshift, It can only act to prevent their getting cold and withered from disuse. It is a sorrowful denoue- ment, that once -faithful dogs must be put on pasture, pre- heated, -- Bt, Louis Globe - Democrat, Married, Divorced In One Oeremony Travellers in Turkistan can marry and divorce the same wo- man in one ceremony, This is tate basis of a temporary mar- riage system. recognised —by priest and lawyer alike in one of the strangest corners of the world. The prodedure is described by Colonui P. T. Btlterton in his new book, "On Either Side of the Equator" an account of . his jauxneys in Asia and South America: Of the acid custom, ix a coun- try where men are allowed -four wives and an unlimited number of concubines, he writes: "The temporary marriage not only links the newoonier to the town to one woman fox the peri- od of his stay, but at the same time conveniently : provides a divorce to coven the difficulty of his departure." When the traveller settles down, whether for a period of weeks or years, be finds a go- between who will choose for him a suitably attractive wife. After the marriage ceremony a small additional fee is paid to the Moslem priests, who then writes out the divorce. This is kept not by the traveller, but by his wife, who treasures it touch - as a Western woman might her marriage lines. For her • it is not a proof- of the permanence of her state, but of its temporary nature. When her husband continues his journey, the document make her once again an honest single wo- mae, free to marry whom she pleases. "Thus," says Colonel Etherton, "life for a pretty girl in Turkis- tan can be one long honeymoon, provided she is of the pin-up variety, a peach in a land where peaches among women and fruit are second to none." Free and easy as the law may appear to be in this matter of marriage, the penalty is a pain- ful one for those who are caught breaking it. The wife who fails to stay faithful to her husband during the period of his, residence is placed on- a donkey facing its tail and her features are black- ened. Then, with a town crier in front telling everyone of her wicked ways, she is carried through the bazaars to receive a storm of insults and .lying gar- bage. Quite a different sort of mar- riage ceremony was seen by Colonel Etherton when he visit- ed the Kalmuks, who live in the valleys of the Heavenly Moun- tains, north of Turkistan. The ICalmuk maiden on her wedding day finds herself with not one, but several prospective bridegrooms. She and her suit- ors meet mounted on horseback, in a chase that forms a partly serious and partly light-hearted prelude to marriage. Although there is an element of risk in the "game," it is usu- ally obvious who is going to carry off the prize, as it was to Colonel Etherton. Beforethe starting signal was given he saw the bride turn and give a lov- ing smile to one of the ten young men • who sought her hand in marriage. , "To level matters up and give the: girl a fair chance, she car- ried a rawhide whip," he writes. When the starting signal was given, the favoured one was at first beaten in the chase by an- other man, who succeefled in catching up with the girl after a breath -taking gallop. The two were neck -and -neck when she raised her whip with one hand and caught her pur- suer a. stinging blow across the face. Acknowledging his defeat, he retired, When the right man reached her side the girl still led him a dance, but eventually handed him her whip. The chase was over, FOR, CHARITY Little Linda, a darling child with golden curls ismd an irre- sistible dimple, discovered sud- denly that she had a stomach- ache in the middle of the pastor's Sunday sermon, "Mummy," she whispered, "I am terrible sick," "Control yourself until the ser- vice is over," urged her mother. Linda did her best, but it Was strictly no soap. "I'm going to be sick all over the pew in a minute," she promis- ed. Her mother, now thoroughly frightened, said, "Well, if you must, tiptoe out of chrch and go round to the bushes in the garden and then come back when you feel better." Linda was back In the pew in less than a minute. Her trium- phant mother whispered, "I knew it was just your imagination, You couldn't have been sick out In 'the garden and gotten back so quickly." "1 didn't have to go to the garden, Mummy," said dear little Linda, "I found a box right in the hack of the church marked 'For the sick.'" Wanted Doctor to Operate With a , A crowd ' of l4urmesc stood around Dr, Ctordon S. Seagrove, American medical missionary, as he probed and felt the patient in front of him, Tile man was In an advanced stage of tuberculosis x., with sinking heart, Seagrave pronounced the case hopeless, • It was one of his first cases in that jungle country; and he Belt that as he could do nothing for the man native confidence in his powers would vanish, The fellow died, as he had ipre' dieted, but instantly the people regarded him as a great prophet! Por death holds oto terrors for these people Who believe in rein- carnation. When he first went out to Bur. ma, Seagrave used to issue pamphlets on religion to his patients and, to his pleasure and astonishment, they always came back for more, "We're doing tine," he told his wife. "In no time we'll have thousands of converts!" But disillusionment came quickly when he discovered that the natives wanted the paper to roll ,the" enormous cheroots in -- that even women and 'children smoked, Doctor Seagrave is one of the finest friends the .Burmese have. He went to Burma in 1922, a year after graduating, and for a time dreaded every new operation he had to undertake: Whenever one about which he knew nothing had to be performed, be got out ,his medical books and swotted it up. Then he would operate, and to his joy, and often aston- ishment, most of his patients recovered. A lucky break occurred when he was summoned to the Sawb- wa (Prince) of Chefang State— just over the border in China who; Seagrave was informed, was dying of malaria. He toiled through almost impenetable jun- gle for three days but arrived at the great man's bedside just as he was getting control of the fever. The worst was over, but the doctor said nothing and gave him an injection of quinine. The prince recovered, Seagrave was regarded as having performed a ' miracle—and patients rolled in by the hundred! He had luck,. too, with the Sawbwa of Manghsi 'who was. suffering from dysentery;- the young doctor obliged with a few injections, the -prince recovered —and another crowd of disciples promptly attached themselves to Seagrave. His hospitals were primitive shacks, and his staff consisted of his wife, a Karen doctor and a girl who had done a year's train- ing in Rangoon. So he had to train his own nurses, The first was a Shan, daughter of the chief torturer to the Sawbwa of Chef- ang, and the second, a Kachin girl, was given to him by a mis- sionary because she was so dull that she failed all her examin- ations, He had to teach the Shan girl in Shan, and she passed. on, her knowledge to the Kachin girl in Burmese! While operating, Seagrave had to speak In four languages — English, Burmese, Shan and Kachin — for his helpers spoke different tongues, As at first be knew only English, matters were somewhat complicated. Also, there was no nursing textbook in any of the three languages; Seagrave had to learn Burmese and write one in that. 'Ultimately, he w a s training nurses who spoke in forent tongues, Often, when Seagra -' vacehtating Kachin 0111101 would ask ' the father's 1• The mother would then gig, "Good gracious," she would e. plaint, '"I dott't'lntowl We change` husbands so often that we can- not keep ,traela" Once Seagrave heard two Wo- men quarrelling in a bazaar; "You are not half as lovely as I am," jeered one, "you have only three iitisbands, while.l have sev- Seagrave found all 'the tribes good-humoured, cheerful an d tough. One morning at Shama, a Kachin with a gastric ulcer came in to be examined. "I'm afraid," said Seagrave, "you need se operation. The moan ripped off his shirt. pulled out a gigantic sword and placed it in the doctor's hand. Then, hopping on to the table, he declared cheerfully; "OK., Doctor — go ahead!" Unlike Europeans, who desire above all things to recover from an operation,. the Burmese don't seem to mind dying. Without the help of X-ray photographs, , - Seagrave's . diagnoses were some- times hazy, and when in doubt he used to say: "My dear chap, • you need an operation all right, but I don't know how to do it, You'd better run along home and forget about it" But in a day or two the mats would be back. "Doctor, I want you to operate." "But I don't know how, .I tell you. I'm afraid you will die," "That doesn't matter. I won't blame you if I do." With such sanction, the sur- geon would operate, though somewhat reluctantly. Once, he opened a. man's ab- domen and pat in a rubber tube for draining. Later, when he looked at the man's wound, the tube had disappeared, "What are you looking for, Doctor?" asked the patient, "I'm looking for a rubber tube I stuck into you, It's lost." "Oh that.. Well, it was hurtizig me, so I pulled it out and threw. it away!" The man recovered; but when Seagrave went to look for the tube—he was so poor that he couldn't afford to lose it—he found it had been given to a baby as a dummy! Once, when he went to :ake the dressing off a hernia case, he found the man had already done so and plucked out the stitches with his finger -nails. When Sea- grave began upbraiding hint, he said in aggrieved tones: "Doctor, 'it itched. 1 had to scratch it, didn't I?" Seagrave's experiences were certainly varied, •One old fellow who had been operated on for a large abscess in the neck was so 111 that the iSurses could get noth- ing down his threat. All he crav- ed for was rotten fish and sour pickle, both great Burmese deli- cacies. "He's .bound to die," said Seagrave to his head nurse, "so go out and buy him some of the stuff." ,But after eating his fill the man began -to get better -- and, and, to everyone's astonishment, recovered! In the course of time Seagrave became one of the finest sur- geons in all Asia. He trained a large band of nurses with such skill that they were able to per- form minor operations done only by doctors elsewhere. They sav- ed thousands of lives in the Burma campaign.
