LESSON I, -JAN. s, not).
The Word Made Flesh. -John x: x -x8.
Commentary. -1. The matare and dig-
nity of the Word (vs. 1-5) . Divine at-
tributes are applied to him and divine
acts are ascribed to him. 1. The Word
was truly God (vs. 1, 2). 2. The Word
had eternal existence (v. 2). 3. The
Word was the Creator (v. 3). 4. The
Word was the eource of life (v. 4). 5.
The Word was the source of fight (v. 4).
6. The Word was distinct from God -
a personal and distinct Being (vs, 1, 2).
7. The Word was Jesus Christ (v. 14).
8. Therefore, Jesus Christ was divine,
very God, yet a personal and distinct
Being. 1. in the beginning -Before all
created things. In the ages of eternity
when only God existed. was -The Word.
did not come into being; he was never
created; ire "was." the Word -The Greek
term here translated "Word" is "Logue"
and has the double meaning of thought
and speech. Christ is called the Word
of God because through him is revealed
to 'us the thoughts, feelings, purposes
and will of God, as our words express
to others our thoughts, feelings, pur-
poses and will. trod is an unseen Being,
but "leis thought, his love and hie nature
are embodied and expressed in the per -
sem of the Son, our Savior, who is the
V,Tord of God." with God -In closest
communion, yet distinct from him. was
God -In substance and essence God.
"The Father is God; the Son is Cod;
the Holy Spirit is God; God. is One." -
Chalmers. This is an unfathomable mys-
tery, but it is eternal life to believe and
know it. The doctrine of the Trinity is
clearly taught in the Scriptures and is
the corner -stone of the Christian reli-
gion. 2. the same was in the beginning
-God was eternally Triune, three in
one. There was the Second Person in
the Trinity before he was manifested in
the flesh, even from eternity. lie was
not created Divine -he existed Divine.
3. all things were made by him -Ter-
restrial and celestial, 'visible and invis-
ible, men, worlds and angels. -Hall. All
things came into being through frim, by
his agency. He exists, but all other
things were made. -Sadler. The effort
here is not to declare the Second Person
of the Trinity the greatest of three in
One, but to prove the divinity and eter-
nal existence of Christ; not that he is
one of two Gods, but God himself, the
One Eternal Cod. and without him -
Apart from him. He is identified with
every created thing, and is familiar with
and has authority over creation. His
plans and _purposes concerning men
should not be regarded lightly. 4. in him
was life' --•Christ kits and 'sten is the
source, the fountain -head, from whom
flows all life -physical, intellectual,
moral, spiritual, eternal. Compare John
5:26. the life was the light -There is
first life, then light. Bead eyes cannot
see nor dead minds know. Whatever
light men have in knowledge or holiness
comes from Christ, the great life -giver,
the infinite fountain of all , blessings.
Christ in his life and through the life
he brings to us shows us God and duty
and saivatior and heaven. He reveals
the truth; he is the living embodiment
of truth (John 14:6).
5. the light shineth-"Christ has re-
vealed himself constantly, by creation,
by providence, by the strivings of the
Spirit, by the course of events, by the
revelations of prophets, and even by the
dim intimations of heathen conscious-
ness."
onscious-ness, ' And the light still shinetb, clear-
er and brighter than in the past. in
darkness -The darkness of sin, ignorance
and unbelief has enshrouded the world
in all -ages. comprehended it not -Did
not receive it or profit by it. But an-
other translation in the margin of the R.
V. changes the meaning -"the darkness
overcame it not." "The light, though
sometimes apparently overcome, was
really victorious; it withstood every as-
sault, and shone on triumphantly in a
darkened world." -Revision Com.
II. John's witness to the true light
(ve. 6-9, 15.) 6. There was a man -See
R. V. Literally, "there began to be a
man," in oontrast- with the Word who
had no beginning, Sent from Gods -God
gave hien his mission and his message,
his credentials and his instructions -he
was a messenger. John -The Baptist.
An account of his birth -is given in Luke
1, and of his manifestation as a prophet
in Matthew 3. A deep significance at-
taches to the name John, which means
"The gracious gift of God," and which
was given from heaven.
7. To bear witness of the Light --There
is much said in this gospel about wit -
John bore a strong, clear
testimony in behalf of Christ and proved
from the Scriptures that Jesus was the
Messiah. The fact that John himself
had appeared as the fulfilment of pro-
phecy (Iso. 40; 3.5; Mal. 3; 1), and that
there had been no collusion between him-
self and Jesus were strong corroborative
points. All men .. believe -John's pur-
pose was to cause Israel to believe in
Jesus as their Messiah, but his efforts
contributed largely to a general be-
lief 4n Jesus, for the gospel was not for
the Jews alone, not for a raoe ;or class,
but for all men always and everywhere.
8. Not that light -John was not the
source of light) but, only a reflector of
the light, a. lamp lighted. 9. That was -
That is, Christ was. The tree light -
Not that John was a false light, but
Christ was the °genuine, ,perfect light,
the original source of light," and his
messenger only carried rays of light
from him. Which lighteth every marl -
Not "all men" The Light illumines each
ono singly, not all collectively, That
eometh into the world' --This clause re-
fers to "the time Light" not to "every'
man," The best Bible expositors either
read "which lightoth every man" as a
'parenthetical clause or transpose it to
the close of the verse, 15. Beam witness,
ete.-It seems probable that this verse'
describes the usual Character of John's
testimonmy concerning Christ. He was
continually proclaiming Christ's super-
iority,'
111. 'Ile tx'ue light rejeeted by some
(vs. 10, 11.) 10. Was in the world He
wits in the world "iu all the Bast ages, in
every manifestation, of God, in the his-
tori' of the chosen nation, but especially
when he appeared as the man Chalet
Jesus, the Saviour of the world. 'Bilis is
one reason why the world should • have

their Creator, and they were his crea-
tures, made in his image. This is an-
other reason why the world should have
received him. Knew hint not ---They did
not recognize him as their Creator, Sav-
iuwe, King. 11. Unto his own -Iris own

iton, own inheritance. Referring to all

"Neither by the world at large, nor by
the leaders of the temple, nor by the
citizens of Nazareth, were his claims al -
)owed." -Sperry.

combines both ideas -the eight and the
power. Both are true and both should
be accepted. Sone of God -See R. V.
'On the divine aside, God adopts us as
children by imparting to us His - own
life (John 3. 3, 5). On the human side,
we rnust be born again, from above
(John 3. 3, 5), by believing. That be-
lieve -"Only those are children who re-
eeive the divine life and the divine na-
ture by trite faith." 13. Born - Spir-
itual birth, regenerated. Not of blood,

reference to the transfiguration (Luke
9. 32; 2 Pet. 1. 17). But the whole body
of disciples had beheld Christ's real
Glory as revealed in IIis diameter. He

ness, truth and love. Olu•ist was the ex-
press image of the Father; in Him

meaning. Grace and truth -Thew were

truth, all justice." He wn.s "full" of
these.
).6.15. We have There three great declar-
ations about Christ: "1. It is Christ
alone who supplies all the spiritual
wants of all believers. 2. Christ and His
gospel are vastly superior to ill.00es and
the lacy, 3. It is Christ alone who has
revealed God the Father to man."
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"The Word of (god."
A word is a thought manifested. Christ
the Word took the thought of the mind
and heart of God, and expressed it so we
could comprehend it, so that what was
"invisible and inaudible and beyond our
reach conies into our minds as some-
thing once in God's heart and mind, but
now in ours" If you would know God,
hear the word (Rom. 10: 17).
1. The eternal Word. "The sante was
in the beginning with God" (v. 2). "This
is hold ground, where we should tread
with shoeless feet in a lowliness that
assumes nothing, that listens meekly,
that bows implicitly to him who speaks,
that accepts the divine communication
concerning the essential glory of the Son,
that owns him as the eternal, personal
Word, and rejoices in his being what he
has himself Aan-tared." .
II. The creative Word. "All things
were made by him" (v. 3). The world
through him came into existence (v. 10).
He who was "the beginning of the crea-
tion of God" (Rev. 3: 14) is the Creator
of all things. Nothing exists that was
not created by the Word of God (Gen.
1: 3, 6, 9, 14, 20, 24, 20) .
Ill. The living Word. "In Ilim was
life" (v. 4). He is the source of life.
"Life in him is underived, independent
and self -subsisting. All other life, vege-
table, animal, human or angelic, is de-
rived and dependent. Even the life pos-
sesed by faith, the spiritual, divine, eter-
nal life we have as born of God, is not
essentially and intrinsically ours. We
rave it derivatively from him. We live
in hint." Through him we have, 1. Re-
generation. "The Word of life" 1. John
1:1; Phil. 2: 16). The seed (Luke 8:
11; 1 Peter 1. 23). 2. Refreshment. "The
bread of life" (John 0: 48, 51, 54, 57).
3. Sanctification. "The water of life"
(Rev. 21: 0; 22: 17; Eph. 5: 26), 4. Re-
velation. "The light of life" (John 8:
12; 1: 4; Psa. 119: 105; 2 Peter 1 19).
5. Humility. "The grace of life" (I
Peter 3: 7; 2 Cor. 8: 0). 6. Resurrection,
"The spirit of life" (Rev. I1: 11; Rom,
8: 2. 7.) Redemption. "The tree of life"
(Rev. 2: 7; 22:2) . 8. Reward. "The
crown of life" (James 1: 12; Rev. 2: 10).
IV. The rejectedWord: "He cane un-
to his own, and his own received hint
not" (v. 11). ,Teens came a stranger to.
the earth aline had created (v. 10). He
came as the revelation of the Father's
love (v. 16; 1. John 4:10). He "came...
to save sinners" (1 Tim. 1:15). But he
was rejected by his own world (v. 10).
his own nation (v. 11); his own country
(Mark 6:4) ; his own city (Luke 4:20) ;

Announcement for 1908.
It is new four years since the De-
partment of .Agriculture, through the
Dairy Division, began an active canl-
jaign for the improvement of the
lairy herds of Canada, by inaugur-
ating a cow testing asaociation at
Cowansvile, Quebec: The Department
provided all the equipment and loan •
ed each member tli.e scales and neces-
sary outfit for taking. and preserving
the samples, furnished' the requisite
blank forms for keeping records, made
all the tests and compiled inc reports,
without any charge:
In 1905 a series of 30 -day. tests were
conducted at seven places,. the De-
partment loaning: the outfits and do-
ing all the work without cost to the
owners of the herds as in 1904. The
object of this work was to call atten•
tiox, to the importance of the ques-
tion and to create sufficient interest
in the matter" to induce dairymen to
organize for the purpose of conduct-
ing a systematic test of the inclivid•
ual cows of their herds. The pub-
lication of these tests showed the
great difference which is found in
the yield of cocas In the• same herd,
and `of different herds in the same
locality.
At. the beginning of 1906, 16 associ-
ations were organized under the aus-
pices of the Depajtnrent. Each mem-
ber was required to provide his own
Outfit for weighing and taking sam-
ples, but the Department of Agricul-
ture provided the blank forms and
made the tests without charge. The
work was continued on the same basis
in 1907, with a total of 52 associations
organized in the different provinces
as follows; Quebec 27, Ontario 18
Nova Scotia 2, Prince Edward Island
1, British Columbia.
In addition to making the tests
fres of cost, the Dairy Division has
compiled for each member a month
ly end a yearly statement of the in.
dividual tests of his herd and, each
member has also been furnished with
a copy of the monthly summaries of
all tests made for. tile other associ-
ations. Summaries of the monthly
tests have been published in the agri-
cultural and weekly press of Canada,
so that every person who reads has
thus had an opportunity of study-
ing the results ' and judging of the
importance of the work.

the season of 1908, by doing the test

I ter is of the opinion that the time
has arrived when -the members of the
associations may reasonably be asked
to contribute something towards the
cost of the work.

If' it is north anything to a dairy-
man to know the relative value of his
cows as milk producers, in order that
he may improve his herd by a pro-
cess of intelligent breeding and seleo
tion, it should be worth paying for,
in part at least. If it is not worth
anything to the owners of the herds
it is certainly not worth anything •t r
anyone else.
I beg, therefore; to making the• fol-
lowing announcement in connection
with this work:
For the season of 1908 the Depart-
ment of Agriculture through the Dairy
Division will co-operate with the cow
testing associations on the following
terms:
(a) The members must provide their
own outfits and agree to take samples
according to instruction.
(b) The members will be required
to pay towards the cost of the testing
at the rate of 20 cents per cow for
the season, for herds of 5 cows and
over. For herds of • under 5 cows a
minimum charge of $1.00 per herd
will be made.
(c) The association must arrange for
a suitable place in which the testing
may be done as in previous years
without cost to the Department.
(d) The Dairy Division will pro-
vide all the necessary blank forms,
chemicals for testing, compile month-
ly and yearly records and forward
them to each member without any
charge except as mentioned in (b1.
Note -The charge for testindr wilt
be based on the highest number of
COWS tested in any one month. A cow
tested only once will be charged for
the season.
J. A. RUDDICK,
Daily and Cold Storage Commissioner.
Sir, -Judging from certain replies to
our circular of Nov. 26 in regard to the
eow testing work for 1908, it would seem
that some of the members of the asso-
ciations have had the impression that
the Department of Agriculture had
agreed to bear the whole cost of testing
the milk for an indefinite period. I beg
to point out that the last agreement on
this point eovered only the season of
1907. 1t was so stated, distinctly,. in
all epi circulars. bulletins and other lit-
erature covering the work, and the or-
ganizers were instructed to the same
effect. I regret it if there has been
any misunderstanding on that point.
In all other countries where the work
of eow testing has been carried on the
Members of the associations bays borne
the greater share of the cost, and in
some eases they have received no gov-
ernment assistance, the work being
organized and conducted as a result of
the initiative of the dairymen them-
selves.
The sum which Canadian dairymen are
asked to contribute towards the cost of
this work amounts to a very small frac-
tion (about fig) of the actual cost of
doing the testing. Fours very truly,
A. Ruddick, Dairy and Cold Storage
Commissioner.
