PETER COMFORTS PERSECUT-
ED CHRISTIANS -
1 Peter 3 : 13.11; 4 12-16;
6 : 6.10
GOLDEN TEXT—For ;t is bet-
ter If the will of God should so
will that ye suffer for well -doing
than for evil -doing. 1 Peter 3 : 17.
'Memory Verse, Thou art night,
Q Jehovah. Psalm 119 t 151.
THE LESSON iN iTS SETTING
Time—Tito exact time for the
writing of this Epistle eaunot be
determined, but it was probably
not fax from A.D. 60.
Placa.—In the last chapter of
tris Epistle, the writer refers to
"She that Is in Babylon," which
ibas led some to believe that First
Peter wets written from the great
'city on the Euphrates River bear -
Mg thea name; others have sug-
gested that, because the city now
known as Cairo, Egypt, was anc-
iently called Babylon, the Epistle
was wrttien from there. A major-
ity of scholars, however, believe
that Peter used the word Babylon
to designate the city of Route.
Principles of Conduct
"And who is he that will harm
you, id ye be zealots of that which
is good?" If we go about doing
good we need not be afraid of
those who, In a civil capacity, are
oyer us. "But even if ye should
suffer for righteousness' sake,
blessed are ye: and fear not their
Sear, neither be troubled." Blessed-
ness is a higher thing than hap-
iness, and is consistent with the
most trying circumstances.
A Reasoning Faith
"But sanctify in your hearts
Christ as Lord." Be sure that you•
give Him all that is His due, and
fit the love of your hearts, as well
as in the thoughts of your hearts,
recognize Him for what He is, The
Lord. "Being ready always to give
answer to every man that asketh
you a reason concerning the hope
lfhat is in you. yet with meekness
and fear." Let us have a reason
tor our faith and let us never
flinch from stating it when asked
and let us give our reasons in a
temper which shall . be the best
evidence of the divine character of
our faith.
A Heart at Peace
"Raving a good couscienee;
that. wherein ye are spoken
against, they may be put to shame
who revile your good manner of
life in Christ. For it is better, if
the will of God should so will, that
• Ye, suffer for well -doing than for
evil -doing." •If we suffer because
we are faithful to Christ, then we
eau still rejoice, even though we
suffer, for our hearts are at peace
with God and we know we are in
His will.
Comforting Truths
""Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial among
you. Which cometh upon you to
prove you, as though a strange
thing happened unto you." What is
the purpose of the fiery trial? It
1.a to test character. It unfolds
Baur strengths and weaknesses.
How often it happens, that men
who, in soft circumstances, have
been weak and irresolute, are
(hardened into fruitful decision by
the ministry of antagonism and
pain.
Glory, Not Dishonor
"But inasmuch as ye are par -
Ulcers of Christ's sufferings, re-
joice; that at the revelation of his
,glory, ye may rejoice with exceed-
ing joy." Men are .to rejoice in
proportion as they are sharers in
the sufferings of Christ. "If ye are
reproached for the name of Christ,
blessed are ye; because the Spirit
of glory and the Spirit et God rest-
eth upon you. The outward re-
viling to which the disciples were
exposed brought glory and not dis-
tonor.
"For let none of you suffer as a
murderer, or a thief, or an evils
doer, or as a meddler in other
men's matters: butif a man suffer
es a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let hint glorify God
in this name." That very separ-
ertion from evil which stirred en-
mity in the hearts of men against
Christ Is the condition of We
which creates reproach for the
believer.
A Life of Humility
"Humble yourselves therefore
tinder the mighty band of Gad,
that be may exalt you in due
time." The mighty hand ot God
le not to be regarded as that which
Is chastising us, but as the pro-
tecting shelter wlticb we are
leambly to seek.
Victory Through Faith
"Your adversary the devil, as a
xoa•ring lion, walketh about, seek-
ing whom he may devour; whom
withstand stedfast in your faith,
knowing that the same sufferings
are aceom•plished In your brethren
who are in the world," Resist the
beginnings of evil; s mere rem-
edy Is all too late. It you have
not resisted at the stage of
thought, their summon every pow -
or of your soul to resist at the
stage of the 'act. But bear in mind
that each stage of the losing battle
is more perilous, more difficult
than the last, It is a very interest-
ing point that whenever Satan is

Music now has been definitely
established as a factor in war pro-
duction. Recently the Ottawa De-
partment of Labour summarised
the experiences of certain Canad-
ian war plants who have been
providing radio and recorded pro-
grammes for the stimulation of
their workers. A number of indus-
trial organisations recently have
followed the lead of British fac-
tories engaged on war production
and equipped their plants with
central radio receiving sets and
loud speaker systems over which
both radio broadcasts and pbono-
that victory is always expressed
ae obtained through faith.
Increasing Strength
"And the God of all grace, who
called you unto his eternal glory
in Christ, after that ye have suf-
fered a little while, shall himself
perfect, establish, strengthen you."
God is the author and giver of ail
grace that the child of God needs.
In connection with this attribute
of God, there follows the fact that
He had called those to whom the
apostle writes to nothing less than
a share in His 'eternal glory'. . .
This calling is 'in Christ,' i.e., not
merely by Him as the instrument
through whom the call came, but
as being 'in him,' i.e., by virtue
of our union with Him.

graph music can be presented for
the entertainment of their staffs
. . Canadian plants using this
method of improving working con-
ditions in their factories have re-
ported an increase in production
and efficiency, a reduction in er-
rors on the production line, a de-
crease in absenteeism, sickness
and accidents, a reduction in men-
tal fatigue and an improvement in
morale. A complete and detailed
survey compiled by Canadian ex-
perts has indicated that radio
broadcasts of musical programmes
and phonograph recordings; dis-
persed over loudspeaker systems
In war plants resulted in an in-
crease of from 14 to 22% in pro-
duction. .A. similar survey in Great,
Britain showed average produc
tion to be increased from 12% to
15% when music was played from
an hour to an hour and a half,
but there were exceptional eases
where factory increases as high.
as 23% were recorded.

Different types of music: were
found desirabie according to the
work being done in the plant. For
example, at the John Inglis Co. in
Toronto, extensive experiment
was made. As a result, because of
the high noise level of tate ma-
chines, it was decided to use
string music exclusively. The
waltzes of Johann Strauss proved
the most popular. In the Small
Electric Motors plant at Leaside
military marches and brisk music
seemed better suited to local con-
ditions. All of which suggests that
we may be entering an era of ra-
dio broadcasting In which planned
programmes will be sent out over
the air calculated to relieve the
monotony of household routine, or
to get junior in a suitable frame
of mind to do his homework.
Sounds far fetched perhaps, but
there's no knowing what research
and progress will evolve in the
super -scientific world that lies
aliea'ti.

Finland Is vassal
State Of Germany
The story of the relations be-
tween Finland and America is the
story of a frustrated love affair,
says Dorothy Thompson. Ever
.since the last war we have adored
Finland as the little country
v ltieh always paid its debts. But
we quickly forgot that Finland
had another debt — a • debt to
Germany, a military and political
debt. rhe military development
of Finland was made by Germany.
German engineers built the Man-
nerheim Line, and German gen-
erals instructed the 'Finnish army
and for two generations Finland
was a military outpost for Ger-
many-. In other words, Finland is
a. German vassal state and, like it
or not, those are the facts.
