Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king, 1 Peter 2:17. Memory Verse: He careth for you. 1 Peter 5;7, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—Probably about A.D, 60, Pace ----Sante believe that First Peter was written from Babylon; others have suggested that, -be- cause the city now known et.s Cairo, 1fgypt, was anciently called Baby - len, The Epistle was written from there, The Apostolic Salutation "Peter, au apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are so- journers of the Dispersion in Pon- tus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia." The authoritative tone of this epistle Is shown at the out- set. The writer assumes his full titles -- The Rock—name which Christ had give him, and the of- ficial dignity of an 'apostle of Jes- us Mien' The Abstemious Life "Belpsed. I beseech you as so- journers and pilgrims To attain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. Having your be- havior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil -doers, they may be your good works, which they be- hold, glorify Cod in. the day of visitation." The seemly conduct of believers must be continuous or it will fail of its effects. One dis- play of Christian conduct, or oc- oasianal manifestations thereof, will not win men to love the way of Christ. The evil reports of the adversaries are ill -grounded, but they do not think so; and the only means of removing their perverse view is by a continuous revelation of the excellence of Christ's ser- vice. "Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: wheth- er to the king, as supreme; or un- to governors, as sent by him for vengeance -on evil -doers, and for praise to them that do well. For so is the will of God, that by well - doing ye should put to silence the Ignorance of foolish men. They are to submit for the Lord's sake, in order not to bring discredit up- on His teaching and persecution upon His church. "As free, -and not using your freedom, for a. cloak of wicked- ness, but as bondservants of God." Peter warns the Christians against making their freedom a pretext .tor msaliciouness, a word whkk designated any kind of evil. Cheerful Obedience "Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but 'also to the froward. For this is acceptable, it for conscience to- ward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye sire, crud acre buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? But if, when ye do well, and• suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God." Servants are urged to be, arot only obedient, but loyal to their masters. The "fear" is not of punishment, but denotes anx- ious fidelity and deference at all times and the desire to avoid all offense. Christ Our Example "For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps." The difference between Jesus Christ and ourselves is indeed infinite; ft is the difference between the Creator and the creature. And yet He is alsb truly Man; and for pur- poses of imitation the truth of His Manhood is all that we require. "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. With, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threat- ened hreatened not; but comrnittetii himself to him that judgeth righteously" Ohrist had met taunts and revil- lags with a silent patience and oommitted Himself to the right- eous Judge. So should the slaves who suffered wrongfully commit their cause to God in the fel) as- surance that they will one day have righteous judgment. "Who )lis own self bale our sine in his body upon the tree, that we, •shaving cried unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed," The words imply • that Christ, by .H.is own act as well as by God's appointment, bore our sins in His own body— Be made our sins His own. Many are convinced that "by wwhose . stripes ye are healed" refers to the healing of all physical ailments through Christ's work upon the cross. But we feel that these words refer to the healing of the soul with spiritual healing,' "For ye were going astray. like 'sheep; but are now veturned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls." Their is, perhaps, a epee- lel peclel stress laid on Christ being the Shepeerd of their souls. Their bodies might be subject to the power of their masters, but their higher nature, that which was their true self, was subjeet only to the loving cane cel the Greet Shepherd, SHE GOES BOOM!

Present plans are for him to go overseas to entertain the troops. If a cciange of scenery means anything, it should pep Thin up no end. But it's no change for Comedian Jack to provide the laughs for the Hien of the services. he sub On t �eco of radio humour, lots of people think that the big -comedians have a nice, comfortable, easy job . . . that life for them is little other than a parade of laughs. Far be it from than. By all standards, humour is just about the most nerve-wracking job in all radio. To begin with, few of the big- time -comedians write their own scripts. They depend upon "gag" writers to unearth the humour and good "gag" writers are few and far between. If their jokes don't register, the comedian is the fellow that takes the rap. One characteristic of most radio comedians is that in their private lives they're quiet, usually rather serious minded chaps, Humour to 'them is an act. And the fel- low who tries to be funny over the ether waves has one great disadvantage over the stage come- dian. Comedians who appear be- fore their audiences in the flesh depend a great deal upon their physical appearance and manner of personal delivery - of their jokes. It helps them to get their laughs across. But the micro- phone is cold, and so is the loud- speaker at the receiving encs, Barring a relatively small audience which is privileged to see the show in a broadcasting studio, the great air audience cannot see the comedian and thereby he loses a lot of his stock in trade. But these days they certainly make the most of the studio 'audience, In fact, it's the studio audience that makes the laughs in which the people listening in join, It's no secret that right in front of. and scat- tered through the studio audience By REX FROS'! of the network humorous broad- casts, are professional "laugh - mongers" whose business it is to lead the merriment loud and heartily at the appropriate mo- ment. They work on the pre- sumption that laughter is infec- tious . . and that if you hear other people laughing you want to laugh, ' too. So don't worry because you hear a studio audi- ence "haw hawing" at something you think is not even remotely funny. All people don't laugh at the same things. It doesn't re- flect upon your sense of humour. The studio laughs are likely spon- sored, as much as the comedians themselves. —o— . Ship Ahoy!
