SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 42 GROWTH IN CHRIST Luke 2:40-52; Hebrews 5:11-14; 2 Peter 1:1-8 PRINTED TEXT Luke 2:40 52; 2 Peter 1:1-8 GOLDEN TEXT.—Grow In the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 8:18. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. — Our Lord was born either 4 or 5 B.C., and thus the year when He was twelve would be A.D. 7 or 8; and the time of His visit to the temple, April of that year. The date for the Epistle to the Hebrews cannot be definitely as• eertained, but it certainly was be- fore the destruction of Jerusalem, about A,D. 65. The Apostle Peter wrote his Second IOpistle at about the same time, approximately A.D. 66. Place.—The passages describing the early life of our Lord relate to events taking place in Jerusa- lem, and in Nazareth, far north in Galilee. We do not know from what places the Epistle to the He- brews and the Second Epistle of Peter were written. Growth During Boyhood 40. "Anel the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon /him." 'He grew and waxed strong'—the physical is first; 'be- coming filled with wisdom'—the mental is second; and the third is not necessarily third in order, and yet its statement is third be- cause it is so largely a matter that lies within the realm of the grace of God that it is put last— 'the Grace of God was upon Him!' Growth as a Young Man 52. "And Jesus advanced in wis- dom and stature, and in favor with God and men." We have here ex- actly the same facts as in the growth of the child: 'The child grew, anci waxed strong; becoming filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him'; but here is a different order and relation. In those earlier years from baby- hood to boyhood the physical is supreme, necessarily so; and we violate the life of a child betwoen babyhod and boyhood if we at- tempt to make the mental su- preme. But now things are alter- ed: the mental is supreme. He advanced in wisdom, and this de- velopment in wisdom accompanied and governed the development in stature. The supreme thing in these years is wisdom; subservi- ent to it, not degraded by it, but ennobled by it, is development in stature. Growth of Christian Life 1. "Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ: 2, Grace to yon and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; 3, see- ing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain' unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Win that called us by his own glory and virtue; 4. whereby he hath grant- ed unto us his precious and ex- oeeding great promises; that through these ye may become par- takers et the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. 5. Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; 6. and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in Your patience godliness; 7, and in your godliness brotherly kind- ness; and in your brotherly kind- ness love. 8. Poe if these things are vexes and abound. they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." The Apostle begins thrir Epistle by showing to his 'readers sonic of the rielxes which they already have in the salvation which is theirs in Jesus Christ, then urges them to grow in their Christian life, Faith By God's Grace 1. "Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a' like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ." Faith gives exactly the same spiritual privileges to all, whether the most famous of apos- tles, or the most obscure of be- lievers: this faibh is given by the grace and mercy of God, without any desert or merit of man; it brings with it equal privileges be- cause of the absolute justice or 'righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ: Peter's Admonition 2. "Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." This 'knowledge' is the channel of 'grace,' it is the ground of 'peace,' it is the means of salvation, it is the instrument of all blessings. Peter writes to remind Christians of the content of this knowledge, to warn them of apostate teachers who are opposing it in the inter- ests of a false 'knowledge,' to en- courage them to value and to de- velop this true knowledge of God and of Christ. 8, "Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godli- ness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue." There is a free gift of Divine power for all our needs, everything to foster the spiritual life and to guide into the way of holiness. Wisdom will be given that we may understand God's will and choose aright, strength to persevere in the midst of trial, boldness to make confession of the Loid before men, and watch- fulness lest we, as did the teach- ers of error, wax overconfident. All things are granted; all things may be ours. Partaking of Holiness 4. "Whereby he hath granted mite us his precious and exceed- ing great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust." Becoming "par- takers of the divine nature" does not mean that man ever comes to possess the essence of being which God has that makes Him God, in contrast to the essence we have that makes us men. We will be men forever, and never God; but as God is love, so are we to be so filled with love that we partake of His nature of love, and we love even as He loved us. As God's nature is one of holiness, we are to be holy, even as He is holy, and thereby through the indwell• ing of His Holy Spirit, to partake of His holiness. 4 THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson fr j iNcaoRADo, SCHOOL.

Do you :remember Judith Evelyn who played the part of Margaret in a series of dramatic broadeaets known as "The Country Dootoar" about 7 years ago? Since those days Judith Alae become a tap ranking Broadway star, having won the acclaim of New York oritios and audiences with her outstand- ing performances in the dramatic role of M•ris. Manningham in the play "Angel Street". The last time Judith Evelyn's name was prom- inently featured in the Ontario press was when she arrived in To- ronto, a survivor of the torpedoed liner "Athenia." Next Sunday Ju- dith Evelyn returns to Toronto to share with. 'Vincent Pelee, hear leading magi in. the Broadway play, 'the principal role in one of radio', most recent network successes, "Nazi Eyes on Canada." Canada is proud to welcome this talented star of stage and radio, and we suggest that you make a definite point of tuning in at 7.30 p.m. Sun- day, October 18th, to CBL or other network statione of the CBC who -will carry the broadcast. For those who miss its earlier presentation, Judith Evelyn may be heard in a rebroadcast of the big' show from CFRB commencing at 8.30. 4 * One of Ontario's most popular programmes, Treasure Trail, hes 'changed its time, and the change has been inspired by a patriotic motive. Formerly presented . over CFRB 9.30 to 10 Wednesday eve- nings, Treasure Trail has been moved one hour earlier in order to provide network facilities for the All-Star Variety programme in the interests of the Fourth Victory Loan Campaign at 9 to 10 pm. Wednesday night. Incidentally, preliminary information indicates• that the Victory Loan Celebrity Series will be just about the fin- est and most worth while pro- grammes originating within the Dominion for a long, long time. They will come from Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.. So there's a swell line-up for Wednesday night ... 8.30 to 9 p.m. Treasure Trail with those mirth provo•kieg, money distributing philanthro- pists, Rai Purdy and Al Savage . 9 to 10 the All-Star Variety Victory Loan broadcast. CFRB carries • them both. * * 4' There ars times when we all want to get away from the tragic, matter -of -tact world to the land-of- nsake-believe. Everybody enjoys a fairy tale beginning with the fam- iliar phrase, "Once upon a time . . . ." So, kids, from 7 to 70 you can take your place around the radio Sunday afternoon 5.30, tune in CBL or other station of the OBC national network, and trans- form your thoughts to the Land of Make -Believe with John Ada - skin. You'll hear stories written by the internationally famous Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. It is also expect- ed that the series will include a special dramatisation of "Bambi", using the original music of Walt Disney's cartoon with perhaps an added sprinkling of that popular artist's blessing. Canada Delivers 51st Cargo Ship The Canadian shipbuilding in- dustry last week delivered into service its 51st 10,000 -ton cargo ship, all but one of them complet- ed this year. "Only one cargo ship was com- pleted prior to Jan. 1, 1942," said the Minister in a brief statement. "The output for nine months of this year represents 500,000 dead- weight tons of shipping. "Favored by ideal climatic con- ditions which permit year-round launchings, and operating seven days a week, British Columbia yards have led the way both in number of ships built and in speed of construction." Last June a west coast ship- yard launched the 10,000 -ton Fort Pitt 77 days after her keel was laid, at that time a Canadian rec- ord in steel freighter construc- tion. In a satement issued earlier this month Mr Howe said contracts have been negotiated for construc- tion in Canada of nearly 300 10,- 000-ton 0;000-ton cargo ships, at a cost of about $600,000;000. In addition there are a number of 4,700 -ton ships to bo constructed, all on the Enst coast. Talking cal' noon.hour programa. Do you eves' "Listen to Leaser"?' 12.65 to 1.10 CIPRB, ,'feet what that fellow can do with a buneh at records, sound elleots, and a dos - en and ere other gadgets, is no- body's business. For sheer oeigln- ality, and for that droll sense of humor that always gets a smile, you oan depend on Lesser. He has just about the craziest stunts on a broadcast that anyone oould think up . . , but he's tli fellow that surely hits the head onthe nail when it comes to a laugh. And one of Lessers prize quips . . and he takes great delight in tak- ing the laugh on himself . . le that he's not interested any more in a "second front" . , , he claims to carry his own around with hint alt the time . . . a rotund waist line of . . . inches, We daren't ;put it in mint. We'd be sued for disturbing the peace. But Lesser's troubles are only just beginning, so he says. Any difficulty thanhe has had with the "Listen to Less- er" broadcast in the past pales into significance since he graduat- ed into the "Professor" class on the Ontario Caravan show (CFRB, Thursdays 9 to 9.30). A female of the name of "Anesthesia Core - tassel" has a crush on the Pro- fessor, He simply cannot shake this gal. His culture, his learning, his 'compelling command of liter- ature and science have the gal mesmerised. And its a sure thing that she'll follow him to Meaford on the Ontario Caravan broadcast Thursday, Oct. 15111 and to !Strat- ford, October 22nd. Tune in for developments. Sm Iler °aliiars ee success of the Gamuts is3 North Africa proves once move the value of the small, Way, equipped army, notes The Von,. oouver Suis. According to l Churchill, Rommel had 90,000 troops only and yet with them he has created one of the great milt. tart' crises of history, threatening the Suez Canal and control of thta whole Near East, Such an army in the last war would have been considered in. capable of any major undertaking„ Yet a Japanese army of such size or smaller took the South Sean and their rich islands, and the priceless peninsula of Burma from us. A small force also assured tho fall of France. This, except for the titanic, head-on struggle oip the Russian front, is a war of small armies, stabbing quickly against other armies inadequately equipped to meet them. To Canadians the lesson of thio experience is especially signifi- cant. Canada has a small army overseas, some 150,000 men. It is, according to the Government, the most mechanized army in the world. It is a force far larger and far more powerful than Ron- mel's army which brought, in Mar. Churchill's phrase, the greatest recession of our hopes since the fall of France. We should real- ize, ealize, therefore, that our army, be- cause of its extraordinary equip- ment, is not a minor item in the resources of the United Nations but a weapon which, given the opportunity, may play a major part in their victory.
