Peace. ----This discourse, as iudi- cat.-d by verse 20, was spoken in the treasury of the Temple lo- .•ateei in the court of the women, the most public part of the Temple, on Mt. Moriah, in the city of Jerusalem. Here the San- ?-erl'in ordinarily held its sittings. Light of the World "Again therefore Jesus spake 'unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." 1'rehably nothing in. all nature has been more constantly used to -express spiritual ideas than light. Darkness becomes inevitably asso- eiated with ig^ttsrrance; sorrow; sin; i!ght With knowledge, truth, hap- piness. In the Bible, from Gene- sis to Revelation, we find light employed to signify the highest of blessing= not only in the na- tural but in the spiritual world. On its very laet page is the prom- ise `There s11alI be no night there.' Christ and the Father They sni ; therefore unto flim, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which 7 have It'i o spokes: unto you from the *beginning. 1 have many things to speak and to judge concern - Ina you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which '1 h=ard from him, these speak I unto the world. They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father." .After all, this is the great question concerning Christ, 'Who art nett?' Christ ahvays recognized it to be the supreme question, for He was continually asking 'Whom say ye that 1 am?' It is incredible that the Jews can have failed to understand what Christ has just declared, that Ho was from above and not of this world. "Jesus therefore said, when ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that 1 do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. And he that lent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do ahvays the things that are pleasing to hire. As he spake these things many believed of him." In these verses Christ declares five things about the Father—the Son was sent by the Father, the San epeaks what he hears from the Father, the Son was over eon- ecious of the Father's presence with Him; the son ever lived to please the Father. I^'inally, the Father in Himself is true. In the phrase 'when ye have lifted up the ,Son of main' our Lord has reference ,tip His approaching deal h. Truth Bestows Freedom "Jesus timeefore said to flume Jews that had believed him, If ye. abide in tt:y word, then me ye truly my ciiciples." This sen- tence is a gracious recognition of the first rude beginning o failing Even this, if it were flu>riylleal with absoiuie devotion, might be- come the fouutlatian of better throne. "Sud yo shall know the 'beth, anti the troth :+hall nlrtkc� you free." The truth as- rreve.led hi the Word of God sots ns fro, �f7'Ci(0 hrnot'atlee, from honda! o' to Sing (runs .fear of marl and of death; from low Neale atul .from death itself. Bondage of Sin "They ari„vered unto him, We are Abraham': seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?" When Christ spoke of setting men free, His listeners. still in a critical mood, and refusing to accept His Words as true, made one of the most astonishingly inaccurate state- ments that could ever have been uttered by the .Jews at any time, '`tie have never yet been in bond- age to any man.' The whole past history of their nation was the record of one bondage following. hard on an- other, they for their sins having come at one. time or another under the yoke of almost every' people round about them. They had been, by turns, in bondage to the ' (anaanites, the Philistines, the Syrians, the Chaldeans; then again to the Graeco-Syrian kings. "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, Every, one that n �• coni t n ttetln sin is the bond- servant of sin." Any wilful sin, admitted into the heart, having once gained a footing there, can- not remain at a standstill, but must ever. bring more and more the whole man ander its domin- ion, laying ever new and ever stronger fetters upon him. "And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever." The house ia:.the,kingdom of God. The chief point of contrast is the tempor- ary place and the enduring place of the slave and the Son respec- tively in the house. No one with the heart of a slave towards God can possibly be within His eternal house; and the heart of a sinner =pardoned is the heart of slave. "If Promise Fulfilled therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed," When a habit is allowed to dominate our lives we are no longer free. Wen pride, vanity, ambition or pleasure controls our lives we are slaves. The very faet that we do not or can not cease from sin makes us slaves. Jesus Christ came into a world of slaves. , "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it and . was glad." Christ's day was the day of promise Fulfilled, when the new age of gospel grace be- gan in the advent of the Son of God in flesh. "The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus sa!d surto theta, Verily, verily, 7 say unto you, Before Abraham was born, 1 am." Here is one of the most significant passages in the New Testament, setting forth the great doctrine of Christ's pre-existence. `—that I ani' expresses abso- lute Deity. These words can only be uttered by a Being of =der- ived existence, =created and un- ending. There is no past tense to His being and no future --He is at the centre of all life. • • THIS IS C R US WORLD Art By William Ferguson IEOttfeE WASHINGTON AND iletiOSZATiO NEILSON WOULD H.AVE BEEN REJECTED BY A MODERN DRAFT BOARD/ WASHINGTON HAD 1 4LS.E' raETH, WHILE NELSON HAD AN ARM AND A19 .AYE MISSING. rZnee WEATHER MEN SAY..

"The new sky giant," the com- pany declared, ".may prove faster than a Japanese Zero fighter or any known four -engined bomber now in active service." The olive-green craft, powered by four 2,000 -horsepower air-cooled radial motors, was designed and built as a passenger airliner, but for the duration the initial model and its successors will be turned over to the army for war -time duty, Builders of the motors, \Vright Cyclone 18's, said they are the world's most powerful service air- craft engines. The aerial newcomer will cruise at 20,000 feet, which is above 90 per cent. of. all rough -air disturb- ances, and carries ample fuel to fly around most others. If neces- sary, the Constellation can rise to 35,000 feet. If an engine fails, the ship can fly at 25.000 feet on the other three, If two motors die, the other^ two will carry the plane at 16.500 feet. Flying a full Ioad. tate big trans- port uses one gallon of gasoline per mile, the company said.

The Stockholm newspaper Dag- ens Nyheter reported the quota- tion in a despatch from the Ger- man Capital. The cities mentioned are the most heavily -bombed in all Ger- many. They have been hit re- peatedly, however, while Berlin has only been struck twice after a 14 -month interval. In view of this, \achtausgabe's comparison was significant as to the damage done Berlin. Big Coal Reserves in South Africa' Coal reserves of, South Africa are sufficient for "some thous- ands of years," according to a statement by a principal in the trade, recently made known to the United States Department of Commerce. He stated that the huge coal reserves of the Union could be converted to liquid fuel if the world's natural oil resereee should become depleted. Coal production during 1941 totaled 20,318,308 tons. Some of the 68 producing mines turned out as much as 5,000 tons daily. rirmasewerwarmm diC LISTEN TO 7f Items of interest From Ontario Weekly Newspapers EACH SUNDAY AT 2 P.M.
