BRIEF REVIEW OF YEAR. novelist of the decade, died in England, Henry James gave up Iris American citizenship and be- came a naturalized British sub- ject in 1914 to show his admira- 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 ob;,ec- 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 as impossibility. They knew the British would not be ready ,tntil midsummer, and believed that Gen- eral Haig would have to stop bis pre- parations to aid the' hard-pressed French. All 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 five 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. 13y a brilliant stroke in October, the French took back in ten 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 burled at Verdun. MARCH. 2. Carmen Sylva, Queen Mother of Roumania, died of pneumonia, 3.

The Government at Washington sent soldiers to hunt clown the Mexi- can leader, and the fruitless chase which lasted all summer became later a sort of comic opera affair. 10.

Text of tho Lesoon, John i, 1 -18 --Me cry Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, Jo 1, 4 --Commentary Prepared; by R D. M. Stearns. In these four gospel portraits Christ we see Him as the Ring (M thew), the Servant (Mark), the Son Man (Luke) and the Son of God (Jo —the same Jesus in each, revealed us a little differently, that we m know Him more fully and more mately. This gospel is certainly t eagle gospel, as the others are Sugg tive of the other faces of the cherub' the lion, the ox and the man. Here ere lifted far above the others and ea Med back to the beginning, before t creation, to Him by 'whom all thinwere created. Els name, "the Wo of God," takes us back to the ten tim repeated "And God said" of Gen. along with Pe. xxxili, 6, "By the Wo of the Lord were the heavens made Then on to'Bev. xix, 18, when He gha come in glory as "the Word of God How grand the statement in verse "Without Rim was not anything mad that was made," reminding us also 0 Col. i, 16, and lending us to exclal Jer. xxxli, 17. I often think of and quote thea linea: "The Scriptures and the Lor bear one most holy name; the writte and the Living Word are in all thing the same. Then the word of any one if sincere, is the utterance of the hoar =din Him we see and know the hear of God the Father, As Creator He I too far above us to be known by us but when we see Him in human form the Word made flesh (verse 14), the He comes near to us in such a we that we may know Him. Though n man hath seen God at any time, nn believer can see Him in the only b gotten Son (verse 18). Those of who it Is written in Ex. =Iv, 11, "They sn God and did eat and drink," saw no the Father, but the Son, whose going forth have been from the days of eter nity (Numb, v, 2, margin), So was it also with Abraham, 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 me hath seen the Father" (John xiv, 9). Not only is He God the Creator, but He is the Life and the Light of men. His first recorded utterance in Scrip- ture is, "Let there be light," and then we remember that "God, who cora- mended the light to shine out of dark - nese, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge'ot 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 "Ile that hath the Son hath life, and he that bath 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, pke /6. c ile "t A Till Idght" (verse 9), 411 Ite is flee tithe t.°rue Bread from heaven," "the True Vine," "the Truo Tabernacle" (John vi, 32; xv, 1; Heb, viii, 2). John the Baptist bore witness of the light that men through him might believe, and one of the Met words of our Lord before He ascet'Dlod Wag, "Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon yon, and ye shall be witnesses unto me" (Acts 1, 8, margin), Could any- thing bo more pitiful and pathetic than the statement of lesson verses 10, 11, that Re was in the world that Re had made, and it lmow Him not, and His own people received Him not, Yet so it has ever been since Adam and Eve turned from Him in the Eden, where Ire placed them to enjoy Him and it. Israel'Would 0011 of me. I would, but ye would not Ye will not come, unto me. Such are aom oaf Els words con- cerning our treatment of Elm. Yet Ile loves us and pleads with us. Although He knows all the truth about ria, Ho is, full of grace toward ns; "full of grace and truth," 1'ralse'Ged for the comfort and the ftssuranes of verse 12, for, knowing that I did truly receive Min as my Saviour and put all my trust In Els precious blood, this, with the follow- ing verse, made me certain that I had become a child of God, born of God, and, with John v, 24; I John it, 12; Iia. xlili, 25, and other words of life, gave Phe assurance of the forgiveness of sins that they would never be remem- bered agaleat me and ,bat I had pass ed from death into. hn 8v, of at - of his) to ay in es- WO t- he gs I'd ee 1, rd 11 8, e f m d n e t, s n 3, a y e- m w t s • '7/7" ) two, A K A' age 1-. mer Januar monfi and yes Such securities are regarded as co' degree the essentials of good tuvestm„ and good 'income return.
