THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time. -April 11-17, A.D. 27, in the
i
first year of Christ's public ministry.
Place, -Jerusalem or the Mount of
Olives.
Now there was a man of the Phar-
isees. Named Nicodemus. The name
means "victor over the people". A
ruler of the Jews. This signifies that
be was a member of the 'highest as-
sembly of the Jews, the Sanhedrin
or Council of Seventy, over which
the high priest presided as the sev-
enty-first. We might call him a sen-
ator, '
And said to him, Rabbi, we know
that thou 'part a teacher come from
God. "Rabbi" was a 'courteous term
applied toa recognized teacher .of
religion. For no one can do these
signs that thou doest. The 'miracles'
which Christ had been working in
Jerusalem as inconspicuously as pos.
sible (see John 2:23). Except God
be with him. "Messengers of Satan,
and 'others\ might do wonders, but,
theywould be widely different.'
Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee. "Ver-
ily" translates the Greek word "Am-
en," "So be it," a strong affirmation.
A single "Amen" in the .synoptic.
Gospels, marks one of Christ's art-
terances a special earnestness and
importance, Except one be born an-
ew (margin "front above"). Unless
one's . entire being is supernaturally
changed, transformed by divine in-
fluence. He cannot see the kingdom
of God. By "see" it meant partake
of --it, become a citizen of it, be in-
corporated in God's realm of right-
eousness and peace and love.

that is born; of the Spirit finds him-
self endowed with capacities, which
he begins to exert. Hegrasps with a:
spiritual hand, he looks with a spir-
itual eye, he nourishes himself with
spiritual food."
Marvel not that I said unto thee,

us simply measured his spiritual shal-
lowness. •

Our . Lord used his characteristic
phrase the third time when he assert
ed that the essentialfact of Christ-
ianity, though so utterly supernatur
ill, was a'matter of actual personal
experience."
If 1 told you earthly things and
yebelieve not, how shall ye believe
if I tell you heavenly things? Many
risen "have open minds for the mech-
anics of things, but closed minds for
'God. They are blind to the greatest.
of all facts, the grace and power of
the present Christ, transforming and.
remaking souls about them every
clay."
And no one hath ascended into
heaven, but he that descendeth out
of heaven, even the Son of Man, Who
is in heaven. Here we have. Christ's
own words verifying the statements
of John 1: 1, 14.
And as Moses lifted up the ser-
pent in the wilderness. Even so
must the Son of manbei} lifted alp.
"The Son of man," a. term' derived
from the prophecy of `Daniel, was
Christ's favorite name for himself,
signifying the 'incarnation of Diety
in man, so that Christ was represen-
tative man and yet was God. He was
lifted high on the cross of shame
and agony. '
That whosoever believeth may in.
him have eternal life (margin, "be-
lievcth< in him may have eternal
life"). Nothing can be plainer, and
nothing, can be more solemnly en-
joined upon us, than this -we are to
be saved' by believing in Christ cru
cified."

An Advertisers: ent
Addressed to the
Public of this
Comrnnunity
When you hear of a manufacturer who spends $100,000 or
more each year on advertising, you may feel like saying -"Terr-
ible! What waste! and it is ,eve -the public -who have to pay,, for
it all!"
But stop! Before you make judgments, look at facts.
Manufacturers who advertise spenid from 2 to 5 per cent. of
their sales on advertising. Let us put it at 3 per cent. of the price
which you pay for their article of sale. So if you. pay. 25 cents for
an advertised article, you are paying three-fourths of one cent to
pay for ;making it known to and wanted by you. The ':price would
be not lessL,indeed it might easily be more -if the articles had`no
money spent on it to make it known to and wanted by you.
It is _economy, so far as you are concerned, to have manu-
facturers develop a huge demand for their product, by the agency
of press advertising. YOU pay for the advertising, of course, but
you pay a smaller price for, the advertised article than would be
necessary if :the manufacturer's output were smaller!
Advertised articles have to be better than non -advertised
articles, and since they are made in larger quantities, they can be
made and sold at least as cheaply as imitative non -advertised ar•-
ticles,
If you are a thrifty and. wise buyer, you will buy the article
made known t'o you by faithfully -maintained press advertising.
