.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

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-

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

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.

RADIO REPORTIR.""FROSTRBEYi
What do you suppose Foster
Hewitt, the well known dynamic
hockey announcer dm when lee ..
seta through his thailling descrip-
tion over the radio of a Saturday
night national hockey game? 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.
