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.

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.

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

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.

To Canadians the lesson of thio

cant. Canada has a small army
overseas, some 150,000 men. It

the most mechanized army in the
