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

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

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.
