III. GOD'S GIFT FOR ALL, 3: 1347.
Verses 14-17 are probably reflec-
tions of the author rather than the
words of Jesus. They discuss the very
truths which Jesus suggested Nico-
demus could not understand. Not for
the select few—the Jews—but for all
who accept it, is God's gift of salva-
tion provided. The Son of Man, re-
jected by the Jews, will bring salva-
tion through his sacrifice, vs. 4, 15.
.For this express purpose did God send

thing.

IV. HOW CHRIST JUDGES MEN, 3: 18-21.
The Jews thought Messiah was com-
ing to punish the unbelievers. But if
judgment is not the motive of the
Christ's coming, it is the inevitable
consequence. His coming compels Hien
to take s'.des. The stand they take
shows them up in their true colors.
If our deeds are :vii, we shun the
light because it shows 'up our true
character. The man who has nothing
to hide welcomes the investigation. He
who avoids the light thereby proclaims
that his deeds are evil.

Buffalo Meat Feature
of Many New Menus
Two delicacies have been added to
the Canadian New Year •menus, and
the Mounted Police will benefit from
the recent slaughter of 1,500 buffalo
under government supervision in
Wainwright National Park, where
the Canadian Government maintains
the largest herd of buffalo in the
world, says a recent news item from
the Canadian National Railways.
Buffalo tail soup and buffalo
steaks graced many a table in Can-
ada on New Year's Day. The Cana-
dian. National Railways have distribu-
ted thirty cars of buffalo meat to vari-
ous markets throughout the Dominion.
The hides will be used mostly to
make coats and rugs for Canada's
famous red -coated police force, which
still performs yeoman service in the
far stretches of the northland, in
many cases within the Arctic Circle.
The heads, in many instances, will
be sold by the government to clubs,
hotels and individual citizens as wail
trophies.
The slaughter of the animals was
necessary because there is only suf-
ficient pasturage within the park to
feed about 6,000 head of buffalo and
also in order to maintain the quality
of the stock, says the bulletin.
