Well, I suppose by the time you
read this it will be after Christ-
mas. 1 hope everyone of you had
its happy a Christmas as circum-
0tances would permit in your
home. I say that because I know
Christmas can't bo the same when
those we love are far from home
-or where there is a vacant place
that can never be filled, Christ-
mas bas a way 0f bringing those
things home to us.
And now it is time to wish you,
one and 011, a very happy New
Year. And that greeting comes
from the bottom of my heart,
Yes, here we stand upon the
threshold of another year -a year
which we know in advance will
not be au easy one. We know,
without being told, that there aro
many hardships in store for us.
But are we going to let them get
1ts down? I don't think so! Some
of these hardships will be lack of
material things -tint we can sure-
ly bear such hardships with a
'good grace. .A. greater ordeal will
come in being separated from
those we Ione -husband, sweet-
heart, son or brother, But "we
must smile as we wave good-bye
we must smile as the days
go hy." That is our part. "Men
must work and women must weep"
does not apply in our day and
age. Some of our womenfolk -have
31r'eady had their sharp of lone-
liness and anxiety -and they have
learnt that there is but one thing
to do -and that is -to go right on
working and smiling.
1" a *
But in spite of these things -
or perhaps I should say "because"
of these things, for without our
gallant fighters there would be no
happiness anywhere. at any time
-so, in spite of the loneliness
and heartache, in spite of the
tenseness end uncertainty in which
we live, there is still room in . this
world, as God made it, for Ilep-
einess and laughter; for the joy -
nes gaiety of little ellildrem-at
least in Canada -and towards this
happiness we can all contribule.
So when we wish someone a happy
New Yeur-don't let it be au emp-
ty greeting. Let us put 0 little
action behind R. Let us see what
we can do towards making it a
happy year by looking for the
happy things -the bright Wilma -
to pass along each clay, And it
might he a good idea to try and
understand "the other fellow" a
little better ---Iter has his troubles
and heartaches loo ---you and 1
don't have all the worries in the
world! So oven if aro don't be-
lieve in New Year resolutions It
iveulcln't be a bad idea t0 Make
just one. Supposing we say "1 tee
solve to cultivate a cheerful spirit;
to look for some happy incident
every day; to remember that,
even in a Ns'ar•torn world "tire
blue of heaven is greater than
the cloud."
* * *
And when I say "a cheerful
spirit" I don't mean a earel'cse
"o11 why• Should - l-worr'ywr-are-
etu'e-to-win-the-wlu'" sort of atti-
tude, but rather a spirit of cour-
age and determination that: al-
ways goes hand in hand with -the
ability to face facts and make the
best of them.
And we might find keeping our
chin up good exercise, both mor-
ally
oially and physically, Sure it's good
for our posture and good for our
spirits too! Yes, that's the idea -
or as Gracie Field says -"Chins
up and Keep Smiling!"
Never Again
During the last 15 months,
says The Vancouver Sun, this
province has learned to do with-
out the Japanese. We used to be
told they were essential in fishing
and truck farming. But these and
other callings in which they spe-
cialized are getting along without
them, just as well as the average
of industries in wartime. In fish-
ing and ltunbering neither the
management nor the workers
want anything to do with them
again. They were efficient
enough but their word was worth-
less and constantly they were
centres of trouble:

if 1944, it is appropriate to pay
a tribute to the work of the
"Silent Service" of radio broad-
casting, the lads who man the
engineering equipment which,
brings you your regular program
of entertainment, instruction and
information, It has not been an
easy year for the efigtneers. Re-
placements for electrical equip-
ment have peen hard to obtain
and at times the boys have been
hard put to it, to keep stations
on the air wtilt an uninterrupted
schedule. Considering the difficul-
ties of the supply situation the
breakdowns in broadcasting equip-
ment have been few and far be-
tweeu. Many of the experienced
engineers have been called to the
armed forces, to bo replaced by
less experienced personnel. Radio's
resolution again in 1944 is "To
Carry Cn".
Your Radio Reporter takes this
opportunity of wishing those who
sit out of sight on the other side
of the microphone a Cheery, Pro-
fitable New Year. D'Iay 1944 point

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. -Practically all of the
events occurred iu May, A.D. 28;
the call of Levi occurred in the
early sueliner of that year.
Place. -A11 the events of this
lesson took place in the city of
Capernaum, at the northern end
of the sea of Galilee, with the
single exception of that portion
which describes our Lord's .preach-
ing tour, which occurred in Gal-
ilee, that large area of which Cap.
efnaum was one of many cities.
The exact location where the mir-
acle of the cleansing of the leper
took place rennet be determined.
Healing The Sick
"And at even, when the sun did
set, they brought unto hint all
that were sick, and them that
were possessed with demons, And
all the city was gathered together
at the door. And he healed many
that were sick with divers dis-
eases, and Cast out many dem-
ons; and he suffered not the dem•
ens to speak, because they knew
hien."
Jesus forbade these (lemons,
who recognized slim as the Sou
of God, to bear testimony to Him,
because in themselves they were
wicked. and evil. They would re -
ort to deception, to falsehood, to
trickery et any time. Inasmuch
as they could/lot be believed d in
other matters, rs, lie did not want
then; testifying. as t0 what He
was, for in so doing 1)001)le would
confuse t"
the words they were Parc-
ed to speak, in truth, with other
voluntary utterances oL' foulness
which they often would express.
Ho accepted testimony from the
Father, from the Scriptures, from
John the Baptist, from men who
wore • saved, but not from the
hearts of these evil creatures,
Teaching and Praying
"In the morning, a great while
before day, he 005e up and went
out, and departed into a desert
place, and there prayed." We do
not often rise early in the morn-
ing before day to go out some-
where to be alone to pray. If the
Son of God, who was without sin,
felt in His own heart the need of
this communion slow much more
is this our need.
All Seek Jesus
"And Simon and they that were
with him followed after him; and
they found him, and say unto him,
All are seeking thee. And he
saith unto them, Let us go else-
where into the next towns, that
I may preach there also; for to
this end came I forth." Jesus
knew lie was popular in Caper-
naum. This would have been rea-
son enough in the minds of His
followers to continuing His min-
istry there. The Msster argued
differently. Caperuaum had been
given an opportunity to hear His
message and to receive His heal-
ing ministry. He was now think-
ing of more needy fields. He wish-
ed to preach where His message
had never been heard; He desired
to save those to whom had been
giveu no opportunity for life. This
was the work for which He came
down to earth, and He must en-
gage in it at once, for IIis min-
istry was brief, and soon He
would be on the cross.
Cleansing of a Leper
"And there C01110t11 to him a
leper, beseeching him, and kneel-
ing down to flim, and saying unto
11110, If thou wilt, thou mast snake
me clean." This man came to the
Lord in faith, believing that if

ness, but who, by coloring to
Christ, aill find that He ;rears
this cry of the heart, and is able
to answer it, as no one else can
answer, and to give the cleanness
that no human effort can ever
achieve,
The Leper Disobeys Jesus
'And he strictly charged him,
and straightway sent him out, and
saith unto him, See thou say
nothing to any man, but go show
thyself to the priest, and offer for
thy cleansing the things which
Moses commanded, for a testi-
mony unto them. But he went out,
and began to publish it much, and
to spread abroad the matter, in.
sonntcll that Jesus could no more
openly enter into a city, but was
without in desert places: and they
cane to him from every quarter."

sued this command or not. He
was the Son of Gad, and knew
what was best for this man, for
Himself, and for others. 14e al-
ways does. Whether we under-
stand a command or not, if we
know it is of the Lord we will be
wise in obeying it. Yet after all
the severity with which Jesus had
charged the man, he did not obey.
This at first seemed strange, yet
psychologically it is natural en-
ough. His sudden return from the
death of leprosy to new life and
health carried him away,
