which gives best results. If you
do, you will buy Zam-Btik, for
this herbal balm has been proved by
thousands to be the most reliable
ointment on the market. It not
only cures when other ointments
fail, but its cures; are permanent.
Mr. Isaac L. Phinney, of Lower
Flee Islands, N.S., writes: "Zam.Buk
Is, without doubt, the most reliable
ointment on the market. For two
years I suffered with an ulcer on
my leg, which defied all treatments
—although I tried many and spent
no end of money. ' 'inally I tried
Zam-Buk and the results were
most encouraging. The ulcer soon
showed signs of healing, end per-
severance with Zam•Euk worked a
complete cure."
Zam-Buk is iequaity good for es.

BRIEF REVIEW OF YEAR.
novelist of the decade, died in
England, Henry James gave up
his, American citizenship and be-
came a naturalized British sub-
ject in 1914 to show his admire -
'
tion of the British stand in the
war.
During the last week of February
one of the greatest military struggles
of history commenced, known as the
Battle of Verdun. Experts now
agree that Germany had two objec-
tives in launching the offensive
against the Verdun fortress, They
hoped to capture the stronghold,
break through the French line and
open the road to Paris. Failing to
do that, they expected at least to
make the Allied offensive on the
West an impossibility. They knew
the British would not be ready until
midsummer, and believed that Gen-
eral Haig would have to stop his pre-
parations to aid the' hard-pressed
Freuch. A11 their calculations went
wrong. The 'British took over a
portion of the French line to give
Joffre more men for the defence of
Verdun, but the preparations for the
Allied offensive continued. The
French thought seriously for a while
of giving up Verdun, as it had little
military value, but they feared the
effect on the national morale. At
Verdun the now famous french
watchword was coined "They shall
not pass." For over live months the
vain German effort to break through
continued, but gradually came to an
end through sheer exhaustion after
the launching of the Somme offensive
by the Allies. By a brilliant stroke
in October, the .French took back in
ton days what the Germans had spent
nearly six months in winning. Near-
ly half a million Teutons and the
last shreds of the Crown Prince's re-
putation were buried at Verdun.

Lesson I.—First Quarter, For
Jan. 7, 1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, John 1, 1.18—Mem-
ory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, John
1, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev,
D. M. Stearns.
In these four gospel portraits of
Christ -we see Him as the Ring (Mat-
thew), the Servant (Mark), the Son of
Man (Luke) and the Son of God (John)
—the same Jesus in each, revealed to
us a little differently, that we may
know Him more fully and more inti-
mately. This gospel is certainly the
eagle gospel, as the others are sugges-
tive of the other faces of the cherubim,
the lion, the ox and the man. Here we
are lifted far above the others and car-
ried back to the beginning, before the
creation, to Him by whom all Things
were created. His name, "the Word
of God," takes us back to the ten times
repeated "And God said" of Gen. 1,
along with Ps. xxxill, d, "By the Word
of the Lord were the heavens made."
Then on to Rev. xix, 18, 'when He shall
come in glory as "the Word of God."
How grand tho statement in verse 8,
"Without Him was not anything made
that wail made," reminding us also of
Col. 1, 16, and leading us to exclaim
Jer. xxxl, 17.
I often think of and quote these
lines: "The Scriptures and the Lord
bear one most holy name; the written
and the Living Word are in all things
the same. Then the word of any one,
1f sincere, is the utterance of the heart,
and in Him we see and know the heart
of God the Father. As Creator Ho is
too far above us to be known by us,
but when we see Him in human form,
the Word made flesh (verse 14), thea
He comes near to us in such a way
that we may know Ixim, Though no
men hath seen God at any time, any
believer can see Him in the only be-
gotten Son (verse 18). Those of whom
it is written in Ex, xxiv, 11, "They saw
God and dict eat and drink,' saw not
the Father, but the Son, whose goings
forth have been from the days of eter-
nity (Micah, •v, 2, margin). So was it
also with Abrabam, and Jacob, and
Moses, and Joshua, and Gideon, and
Manoab, and Job, and Isaiah, and Dan-
iel. Let us be content with the words
of our Lord to Philip, "He that hath
seen pro hath seen the Father" (John
xiv, 0).
Not only is He God the Creator, but
Ho is the Life and the Light of men.
His first recorded utterance in Scrip-
ture 1s, "Let there be light," and then
we remember that "God, who com-
manded the light to shine out of dark-
ness, hath shined in our hearts to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ"
(Gen. 1, 8; II Cor, iv, 6). So peculiarly
is He the Life that there is no life
apart from Him, for "He that hath
the Son hath life, and be that hath
not the Son of God hath not life" (I
John v, 12). Life and light and love
are three of the great words of this
gospel, and in Him alone are found the
three, o ,s.cJled "Olio Tree Li t"
(versA ), Ail a is eo ''the ue
Bread from heaven," "tire True Vino,"
"the True Tabernacle" (John vi, 82;
xv, 1; Heb. vif1, 2). John the Baptist
bore witness of the light that men
through him might believe, and one of
the last words of our Lord before Ho
ascended was, "Ye shall receive the
power of the Holy Ghost coming upon
you, and ye shall be witnesses unto
me" (Acts 1, 8, margin), Could any-
thing be more pitiful end pathetic than
the statement of. lesson verses 10, 11,
that He was in the world that He had
made, and it knew Him not, and Hie
own people received Him not. Yet so
it has ever been since Adam and Eve
turned from Him in the Eden, where
He placed them to enjoy Him and it.
Israel`would none of me. I would, but
ye wouhi not, Ye will not come, unto
me, Such are some of His words con -
corning our treatment of Him, Yet He
o h
a with us. Alth u
loves us and plead8
He knows all the truth about us, He
is, full of grace toward us; "full of
grace and troth"
Praleo"God for the comfort and the
aaaurauce of verse 12, for, knowing
that I did truly receive Rim as my
Saviour' and put all my trust in His
plackets blood, this, with the follow-
ing vase, blade me certain that I had
become a child of God, born of God,
and, with John v, 24; I John it, 12; Isa.
xlifl, 26, and other words of Itfe, gave
me assurance of the forgiveness of
sins that they would never be reinem-
bared against me and teat I had pees,

Now that Britain is looking to Caiti-
inet Ministers to give it a lead in
Patriotic economizing, it is interest-
ing to recall what was done by Pitt
and others when in the war with
Frauee it was necessary to introduce
a tax upon incomes. Stanhope, in
his "Life of Pitt," says:
"Oa the measure becoming taw, It
was thought most desirable to assist
and enhance its effect by further vol•
untary contributions. Men in high
places set the example. Mr, Pitt.
and Mr. Dundas subscribed each 22,
000 a year in lieu of their legal
sessments, to endure, 11 the
