Clarke * * * * * Well, I suppose by the time you read "this it will be after Christ- . mas. I hope everyone of you had as happy a. Christmas as circum- etanees would permit in your home. I 'say that because I know Christmas can't be the same when those we love are far from home --or where there is a vacant place that, cart. never be filled. Christ- mas hristmas has a way of bringing those things home to us. .And now it is time to" wish you, one" and' all, a very Happy New Year. And, that greeting carnes tram atireaterit oti of'""iny etteax t.• Yes, here we stand upon the threshold of another year—a year which we know In advance will not be au easy one. We know, without being• told, that there are many hardships in store for us. But are we going to let them get us down? I don't think sol Some of these hardships will be lack of material things—but we can sure- ly bear such hardships with a good grace. A greater ordeal. will •I come In being separated from those we love—husband, sweet- heart, son or brother. But "we must smile as we wave good-bye , we must smile as the days go by" That is our part. "Men must work and women must weep" does not apply In our day and age. Some of our womenfolk have' - already had their share of lone- liness. and anxiety :and they. have learnt that, there is but on'e thing. to do—and that is—to go right on working and smiling. • * *, * But in .spite of these things— or perhaps I should say "because" of these things, for without our gallant fighters there would be no e ]sappiness anywhere, at any time —so, in spite of the loneliness and heartache, in spite of the tenseness and uncertainty in'which we live, there is still room in this world, -as God made it, for hap- piness and. laughter; for the joy- ous gaiety of little children—at least is Canada—and towards this happiness we can all contribute. '-So when we wish someone a Happy New Year—don't let it be an emp- ty greeting. ,Let us put a little action: behind it. Let us see what we can do towards making it a happy year by looking for the happy things --the bright -,things -- to pass along each day. And it might be a good idea to try and understand "the • other fellow" a Tittle better -a -he lias his troublee. and heartaches too—you and . I don't have all the worries in the world! So even if we don't be- lieve in New Year resolutions it wouldn't be 'a bad idea to make just one. Supposing we say "I re- solve. to cultivate a cheerful 'spirit; to look for some happy incident every day; to remember that even in a war-torn world "the' blue of heaven is greater than the cloud." * * And when • I say -"a cheerful spirit" I don't _. inea•n 'a carelees "oh - why -should- I•worey-'we-are- sure-to-win-thg war" sort of "atti- tude, but rather a spirit of cour- age and determination. that al- ways goes^Baud In hand with the ability to face facts and •make the best of them. And we might .find keeping our chin up good exercise, both mor- ally and physically. Sure it's good for our posture and good for our spirits too!

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Practically all of the events occurred in May, A.D. 28; the call of Levi occurred in the early summer of that year. Place.—All the events of this lesson took place in the city of Capernaum, at the northern end of the sea of Galilee, with the single exception of that portion' which. describes our Lord's preach- ing •tour, which occurred in Gal- ilee, that large area of which Cap- ernaum was one of many eities. The exact location where the mir- acle of the cleansing of the leper took plate cannot be determined. Healing The Sick "And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were `possessed wltll demons. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick with divers dis- eases, and cast out many -dem- ons; and he suffered not the dem- ons to speak, because they knew him." Jesus forbade these demons, who recognized Him as the Son of God, to bear testimony to Hinz, because in themselves they were wicked and evil. They would re- sort to deception, to falsehood, to trickery at any time. 'Inasmuch as they could not be believed in other natters, He did not want them testifying as to what I•Ie was, for in so doing people would confuse the words they were fore - ed to speak, in truth, with other voluntary utterances of foulness which they often would express. ;He accepted testimony from the Father, from the Scriptures, from ;John the Baptist, from men who were saved, but not from the hearts of these evil creatures. Teaching and Praying "In the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went opt, and departed into a desert 'place, and there prayed." We do not often rise early in the morn- ag before day to go out some- -,-ie;,,aloue to . pray. If bite Son -of God; Iernewae-,.•f o,.a..z. . felt In His own heart the need of this communion how much more is this • our need. All Seek Jesus "And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. And he saith unto them, Let us go else- where into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth." Jesus knew he was popular In Caper- naum. This would have been rea- son enough in the minds of His followers to continuing His min- istry ' there, The Master argued differently. Capernaum had been given an opportunity to hear His message and to receive His heal- ing ministry. He was now think- ing of more needy fields. He wish- ed to preach where His Message had never been heard; He desired to save those to whom had been given no opportunity for life. This was the work 'tor which He came down to earth, and. He must en- gage in it at nape, for His min- istry was brief, and soon He would be on the cross. Cleansing of a Leper "And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneel- ing down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." This man came to the Lord. in faith, believing that if Christ would, He could cleanse him of his leprosy, This faitb was original, There had beeu no prev- sous instance among all the Ju- daean Galilean hills of such a euro. Nobody thought of lepers or of bringing them to Jesus. Leper Is Made Clean "And being moved witb cone passion, he stretched forth his SUCCESSFUL SOUVENIR HUN` After beating the Japs on Tarawa in the Gilbert Islands, typic. eally American Marines promptly went hunting souvenirs, This geed luck flag found by the two Marines brought no luck to its original owners. Many Japs carry these flags, autographed by friends and relatives "for luck." hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean." There is no person In all the world to -day who wants clean- ness, but who, by coming to. Christ, will find that He bears this cry of the heart, and is able to answer it, as no one else can answer, and to give the cleanness that no human effort can ever achieve. - The Leper Disobeys Jesus "And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, and seine unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing •the things which Moses commanded, for a testi- mony unto them. But he went out, and began to publish It mpeh, and to spread abroad the matter, in• somuch that Jesus could no mare • openly enter into a city, but was without in .desert places: and they came to him from every quarter." It does not make any difference whether we know why Jesus Is- sued this command or not. He was the Son of God, and knew what was best for this man, for Himself, and for others. He al- ways does. Whether we .under-`' stand a command or not, if we. know it is ot the Lord we will be wise in obeying it. Yet after all the severity with which Jesus bad charged the man, he did not obey. This at first seemed strange, yet psychologically it is natural en- ough. His sudden return from the death of leprosy to new life and health carried him away.
