SUNDAY SC'OOL LESSON February 28 ...JESUS RESTORES LAZARUS.. TO LIFE. PRINTED TEXT John 11:20-20, 32-35, 38-44. GOLDEN TEXT. -1 am the resurrection, and the life. ---John 11.25. Memory Verse: I love thee, 0 jebovah. Psalm 18:1. .THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—januaey, A.D. 30. Place—The home of Mary and Martha, in the village of Bethany, which is over the ridge on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, opposite Jerusalem. "Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary still sat in the house. Martha there- fore said unto Jesus, Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my broth- er had not died. And even now I know that, whatsoever Thou shalt ask of God, God will give Thee." The characteristics of those two sisters are evident. Mary, the quieter of the two, and the more meditative, remains in the home while Martha, as soon as she hears that the Lord is com- ing, goes out to meet Him. Mary kno*s that whatever Christ might ask of God, He would grant ae. • which- meansaathat she believel • 'Christ; even now, can raise her brother from the dead. Resurrection and Life "Jesus saith unto her, Thy sh brother all rise again. Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrec- tion of the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth •on me, though he die, yet shall he live." The word "resurrection" is to be taken in its widest sense, so that it is true to say that life results from resurrection, and resurrection from life, to the be- Nver. He must share Christ's hfe in order to have the power within him of the resurrection from the grave tt the endless life, and by sharing Christ's risen life now in faith he is in fact viten with Christ, ard independent of every future change death o•f the body itself, and shall be kept from endless death. Believing in Christ; • 'And whosoever liveth 'and be- lieveth on me shall never die. Be- lievest thou this? She saith unto Him, Yea, Lord, I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the son of God, evel he that cometh into the world." Note particularly how Christ seems to emphasize, above everything else, the,. im- portance of believing in MTh Compassion for Mary "Apd when she had said this,. she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is liere, and nalleth thee. And Zee, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him. Mary therefore, • when she .carne avleeee. Jesus ivase.and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been, hove, my brothr had not died." No doubt, Mary and Martha had continually talked about the Lords co -ming to the house; before Lazarus had died, and had both concluded that, should the Lorileconee,,itheie •broth- , er would be healed.. Ode, may ac- count for the fact that her words to Christ are identical with those of her sister. • "When Jesus . therefore saw her woeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the. spirit, and was' troublecl. and said, "Where have •'e laid him? They say unto him, •Lord, come and zee. Jesus wept." 111.m term "to weep" does not in- dicate, like the word weeping in, verse 33,, sighs, but team; it is the expression of a calm and gentle 'grief. . Victory eOyar Death • " "Jesus therefore • again groan - trig in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was n cave, and a stone lay clezahrt it Jesus saith, Tate ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four clays. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou believedst, thou should see the glory of God?" These words, while addres- sed first to Martha, because she is the one who raised the objection, must surely have been uttered for the benefit of all who were near and were spoken to remind those who had confessed their faith in Hine that in ordering the stone to be removed He was only initiating an act which would re- veal the glory of God, and should thus persuade them to do what he had commanded them to do. Jesus Gives Thanks "So they took away the stone, and Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou heardest me. And I knew that thou hearest me always; But because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me." In Christ's calm con- sciousness of His unity with God, of fulfilling the Father's mission and purpose, He thanks the Fath- er for the opportunity given Him of setting forth the glory of God. Symbol of Redemption And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Laz- arus, come forth. He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave -clothes; and. his face was bound about with a nap- kin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him. and 1;r1iim go." -The simple grandeur, brevity and force of • + .„.. 4er this resurrection call corresponds with the mighty effect,. The great voice or shout, from One who was wont to speak so gently and quiet- ly, thrilled the heart of every listener. The significance of this mighty deed we cannot overresti- mate, for it is on the one hand, a profoundly significant searibol. of Christ's redemption, and on the other, a signal testimony to His right and power to redeem. Western Canada Wheat Marketings Marketings of wheat in West- ern Canada during the crop year 1943-44, starting next August 1, will be restricted to 14 bushels an authorized acre, Trade Min- ister MacKinnon announced • in the House .of Commons. The 1943-44 wheat board pay- ment for wheat sold under the 14 -bushel quota will be the same as in 1942-43-90 cents a bushel basis No. 1 northern at Fort William. Farmers who produce more than 14 bushels of wheat to the seeded acre will not be able to sell the excess to the wheat board at the guaranteed minimum price. Under the new program, any wheat a farmer has on hand, whether it As produced in 19.43 or in Any previous year, may be de- livered within the 14 -bushel quota. Minimum prices for oats, barley and flaxseed will be continued at the 1942-43 level. THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson An Exp riment In Feeding Hogs Vitamin Deficiency Dis- cussed by The Winnipeg Free Press The current vitamin craze may be strongly tinged with faddism,* but the new interest that'is being aroused in the life-giving quali- ties of our foods is all to the good none the less. We are discovering at last that our health depends not on how much we eat, but what we eat. The havoc which vitamin de- ficiency can wreak was recently shown very vividly in Texas with an experiment in pig breeding., There is a lesson for humans to learn from these experiments. During the height of the dust bowl years, two litters of pigs in separated communities were born blind. The authorities set out to discover the reason. Experiments were conducted in hog diet. One diet was devised which was com- pletely devoid of Vitamin A. Sows fed on this diet farrowed pigs which were not only blind but which had no eyes. In one experiment, a sow be- came too weak to stand. She was given one dose a cod liver oil. In eight hours she was standing again. When her pigs were born they were blind but had rudimen- taey eyes. , The experiments were carried a step.efeirther. The pigs which .:were born eyeless were Interbred :. end pat .9n vitamin 'A diets. In every case their OffSpring Vich sound eyes and eyesight. !. dThe conclusion which can .be • *awnfrom this experiment is 'Clear: Many of. the defects in our bodies can be often attributed to the diets of our mothers. The mothers of today who take care of their diets. are mare likely to produce babies with better bodies, sounder organs and a chance for a healthier life than those who regard modern science as new- fangled nonsense. • 1;:" • DOWN THROUGH THE AGE -57 ANIMALS tHAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE EARTH WHEN THEIR BIG ARMORED BODIES otrr6ReW THEIR BA//V,17 COPP. 1442 BY NEA SERVICF.:N.

Did 1 hear anybody suggest that he puts on his hat and coat and en- joy') a bit of quiet relaxation at home? Well, that is just what Fos- ter Hewitt does -NOT do. He starts in to work for several hours. It seeme that Foster's air deceription of the Saturday night hockey games is recorded in order that Canadian soldiers in Great Britain and other parts of the world may follow the fortunes of Canada's national sport . . • hockey. But for the purposes of transmiseion overseas the game which Ordinarily takes about an hour and a half of air time, has to be condensed to 30 minutes. Foster's job therefore immediate- ly following the broadcast is to listen to the record, pick out the highlights and boil them down into a half hour programme. When this has been done, and it is sometimes quite a lengthy process lasting into the early hours of the following morning, Canada's premier hockey announc- er can enjoy a spot of rest. But not before. The record is then cashed to a transmission point and beamed by short wave on Sunday for the benefit of the Canadiaii forces overseas. From all reports this series of international hockey broadcasts has come to be enjoy- ed just as much by the British public. Canada was the first coun- try to ' send special shortwave transmissions overseas for the en- tertainment of the lads in the ser- vices. 4. eneracirtitee:.iil Ulan 3' a. the tisolaitell • spote, 55* • ,In Noeth Ameriel .eitindaY nkstlet has always been regarded ee tho highlight of the week in real Up- ton duality radio entertableneent.
