SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON April 4 PETER AND JOHN BECOME DISCIPLES OF JESUS John 1:29-42; Mark 1:16-20 GOLDEN TEXT. — And Jesus said unto them, Colne ye after me, and I will snake you to be- come fishers of men. Mark 1:17. Memory Verse: Let us love one another. I John 4:7. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The events described in the passage taken from John oc- curred in February, A.D. 27; the call of the four disciples, record- ed by Mark, occurred in April, A.D. 28. Place.—The testimony of John the Baptist and the first call of the three disciples probably took place near Bethany, beyond Jor- dan; the latter call of the four disciples took place at the sea of Galilee; near Capernaum. The Lamb of God "On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Be- hold, the Lamb of God, that tak- eth away the sin of the world!" Christ is everywhere in. the New Testament recognized not -only as the Creator of the world, but the saviour of the world. He it is who will draw all men unto Him- self. "This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a plan who is become before me: for he was before me." Undoubtedly John means by these words that Christ first, in point of time, existed be- fore John the Baptist; that he was, in other words, none other than the Eternal Son of God. Peter's Character "One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He findeth first bis own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: Thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)." The word Cephas means stone. The root of Peter's charac- ter was firmness, which, however, needed to be chastened before Simon could be the man of rock. He did not always show this firm- ness, but Jesus holds up to him his ideal that he may over aspire to it and believe in himself be- cause Christ believes in him. Fishers of Men "And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and An- drew the brother of Simon cast- ing a net in the sea; for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. And going on a little further, he saw Jaynes the son of Zebedee, and John bis brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. And straightway he called them: and they left their father Christ identified "And I knew hint not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I bap- tizing in water. And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him." This whole incident is very parallel to the transfiguration. In both, Christ is miraculously glori- fied previous to setting out to suffer; in both a voice from heaven bears witness to Hini. Christ's Mission "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, upon whomso- ever thou shalt see the spirit des- cending, and abiding upon him, the sane is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit. And I have seen, ;and have borne witness that this is the Son of God." John desig- nates Christ as being lifted up above all other beings who had ever appeared on earth—whether men or angels. "Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his dis- ciples; and he looked upon Jesus as be walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God! Ancl the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus." The word 'follow' expresses the single act as their choice was made defin- itely for all time. We Seek God "And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, what seek ye?" Christ will turn from none who in response to his question 'What seek ye,' can truly say 'We seek .God.' "And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to ::ay, being interpret- ed, teacher) where abidest'thou7 He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour." in `come and see' there is a distinct call to the personal act of faith. Com- ing to Christ is trusting Him and trusting i-lim is seeing ITim, look- ing up to brier.

How shall we become `fishers of men''? Not by our own clever- ness or skill. If we want to be successful fishers of mien, we must go to Jesus Christ for the necessary qualifications. The question is often asked. why Christ, for the most part, chose fishermen, and not men in political power, or great scholars For one thing these men were not bound by the traditions of Judaea, and the Pharisees who dominated there; for another thing, they were men of robust health and rugged nature, who would be able to endure the great- est hardships in their preaching ministry. Moreover, there must have been about these men a cer- tain simplicity which would not only commend them to the Lord, but nark them as excellent channels for the outpouring of God's grace upon the Roman world; men who, once coming to- n conviction, would be willing to endure everything to maintain it. Christ, both in His own life and in His teachings, seemed to have the - greatest appreciation of the dig- nity of manual labor. —0— CHISELLERS Those thieves who brake into the office of the Ontario Motor League and stole 3,5(30 new ra- tion books were merely doing in a wholesale way what many 'chiseling citizens are doing on a smaller scale to flout the spirit of the gasoline -conservation reg- ulations!—Peterborough Exam- iner. —G— AGE OF MIRACLES The inventor of Britain's new weapon, the radio locator, breaks the amazing news that more than a werethousandnomenptt ion tthee secret, < Prov- ing that what you hear about the age of miracles being past is the bunk—Ottawa Citizen.. —o— UP GOES QUOTA A Huron County sow produced a litter of 18 piglets and could_ only set the table for 12.

To help secure this vast amount of helpers the C.B.C. will shortly in- augurate a weekly series of broad- casts dramatising the need for as- sistanee in harvesting the, 1943 crop of tomatoes, fruits, vege- tables, grain and other crops. The first broadoast in the series en- titled "Help Wanted" will be heard Wednesday evening March 31st at 7.30. The first few pro- grammes of the projected series of twenty-eight will be directed to the parents of high school ehil- daen, presenting the farm situa- tion, stressing the emergency, and assuring them that the children who volunteer will have official attention and care. The pro- grammes will explain why, unless help in plenty is forthcoming, civilians will go short next winter of many of their customary food- stuffs. ** o Calling all Gardeners! Offici- ally, spring is here, believe it or not. Cheer up, it won't be long now before you can get busy with rake, hoe and spade. In order to assist in solving food •shortage problems this year, government authorities are urging the devel- opment of home, community vege- table plots as a contribution to the war effort. If Canadians want to have their full quota of lettuce and other good garden greens, they will have to grow a few things on the side for their own needs. To encourage the grow- ing of home vegetables, the C.B.C. has just initiated a series of Gar- den Talks addressed" especially to its women listeners. The speaker for the series is Eustelle Burke Langdon, well known commenta- tor, amateur gardener and long familiar to radio listeners as the . "Herb Lady." Her talks will deal with practical garden problems and will be supplemented by the release of a 16 -page booklet "Vitamin Gardening for Victory," to be made available to listeners, upon request. ' The series can be heard over the G.B.C. network, including CBL Toronto, Monday afternoons commencing at 4.18. e m 8 Also of interest to those who have the spring garden spirit, are The word "Empire" is the stumbling block for many who do not understand. There is noth- ing imperialistic about Canada or Australia or New Zealand or South Africa; or, for that matter, the United. Kingdom in these days. The people of the British Corn- . mnonwealth have worked out their "own .family destiny: They do not want the United States as part of their family any more than we want them. That does not mean that we shall not continue as good neighbors and staunch friends in a co-operative movement to restore world :sanity. Sense of Unity As that great Canadian, Ste- phen Leacock, paid at the begin- ning of the war: "The British Empire was never so closely bound together as now, never so far from thoughts of dissolution or secession arid is gloving in its own peculiar path, into a closer, more organic union.... This new sense of unity comes over us Iike a new wave of consciousness. It palpitates in the common thought of the common people . . . they have not time for professional ar- guments ... they seize by instinct the larged fact.... We just 'be- long.' " • The United States and Great Britain do not have to Marry to work together. They will be hap- pier and more effective without the possibility of a divorce court. That is why all this talk about a World Government following this war is just so much. moonshine. Call of Duty The people of Canada are as free and as individualistic as the people of the United States. They did not have to go into this war. . They went.in offering up their life's blood for a reason which transcends all political documents and treaties. They went in be- • cause, to them, it was a call of duty higher than any man -grade law, to preserve the traditions of freedom they have found under the .British Empire—that Empire which Mr. Churchill says he was not appointed to liquidate. ■ 'HORIZONTAL Answer to Previous Puzzle the programmes currently Ue heard via the Columbia Broadcast, beg System, including CFRB To- ronto, Saturday morning 9.30 to 10, under the title "The Garden.
