Aircraft (2 r 4 v. a ourageous, was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat according to a, statement is- sued by the British Department of Information. More than 500 lives were lost in the sinking of the Cleur-: ageous, which usually earried about 1,200 men. Other naval emits in the vicinity ruslhed to the scene and -it is thought that the submarine responsible for the sinking was also sent to the bottom. The Courageous is trhown here in a picture made from the deck of H.M.S. Rodney, one of whose 16 -inch guns Is in the fore- ground. Sunday School Lesson r LESSON 1 THE INFANCY OF JESUS Matthew 1 and 2 Printed Text, Matt. 2:13-23 Golden Text.—And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is; being interpreted, God with us, Matt. 1:28. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The time of our Lord's birth is still a matter of dispute, but by many it is placed in De- cember, 5 B.C. The visit of the wise men probably took place in February, 4 B.C. The Flight Into Egypt . Matt. 2:13. Now 'when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and fee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee; for Herod will Beek the young child to destroy him. 14. And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt; 15. and was there until the death of Herod; that it night be fulfill- ed which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did 1 call my son. The prophecy here quoted is found in Hos.. 114. When God is telling the story of his love to Israel, he says to them: "I loved you and brought you out of Egypt. Egypt to you was a place of oppression, the place of slavery." There was a great exodus, and he led the exodus out of Egypt. Now, four hundred years after the voice of prophecy, a child is born, the child upon whom all the hopes of God should rest, and therefore the hopes of men. The child shares the result of the sin of his own people, and is driven by the corruption of Israel (which re - :suited in the Edomite Herod be- ing on the throne) ir.to Egypt. As of old, God loved Israel when a child, and brought it out of Egypt, so his love centers still up - eel the king who is yet to build a city and establish a nation, and be also shall cone out of Egypt, and coning out shall lead the exo- dus with others following. Slaughter of the Babes 16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise - men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, ac- cording to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise -men. 17. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18. A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; and she would riot be comforted, because they are not. Herod's massacre of the babes of Bethlehem of course did not achieve its object. The pro- phecy referred to here is to be found in Jer. 31:15. Rachel is introduced here to represent t".:e common grief of Israel, at the cruelty of Nebuchadnezzar sever- al centuries before. Return to Nazareth 19. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord ap- peareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, 20. Arise and take the young child Incl his mother, and go into the land of Israel, for they are dead htat sought the child's life. 21. And he rose and took the young child and his mo- ther, and came into the land of Israel. 22. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Ju- daea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thith- er; and being warned of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee. 28. And came and dwelt in a city called Nazar- eth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene. In these two chapters of Matt- hew we have the miracle of the virgin birth of Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost; we have the miracle of messages from heaven, there being four, all of then coining by way of dreams in two of which appeared the an- gel of the Lord himself; there is, the miracle in nature of the star that guided the wise men to Beth- lehem; and there is, finally, elle great miracle of :fulfilled prophecy, five prophecies being referred to in these two chapters, one from Isaiah, one from Micah, one from Hosea, one from Jeremiah, and one a summary of the teeahings of all the prophets concerning the humiliation attending the birth and residence of the Savior. Hea- ven sends for the accomplishment of God's purpose in this event the Holy Spirit, the holy prophetic writings, the angels, the star. Pears, more than any other fruit, are affected by temperature changes, temperature being held to be the most important single factor relating to their handling, earticularly in cold storage. Canadian Military Lacier Majcr-.General T. V. Anderson, Chief of Militia Staf of Canada Tourists Keep Hotels Crowded Thousands From U. S. Make Trips To Canada And Not To Europe Hotels and tourist homes in Can- ada are benefiting as ,a result of the war in Europe. Thousands of American tourists, who c visti either Britain or Continental Europe in the summer have now decided to confine their holidays 'b the American side of the Atlantic. In consequence. hotel registra- tions, which ordinarily show a great drop immediately after La- bor Day and the commencement of school in the United States, are still very numerous. Staffs of city hotels are being kept on at full summer strength. Washing eggs is not advised;. water removes the '•`bloom" pro tecting the shell. Medical Science Slowly Mastering Many Diseases Death Rate Has BeenLowerredl Considerably in the Past Half Century That the progress of science rlur• Inn the last fifty years has been of real benefit to mankind Is now shown by a review recently given by Sir Edward 1ttellanby, Secre- tary of the Medical Research Connell, England. Even in the year 1900 typhoid fever killed over 5,- 000 people in Great Britain. Nowa- days even a mild epidemic causes a public scandal. The last fifty years has, in fact, witnessed a ser- ies of triumphs in the medical field about whose value to society as a whole there can be.no doubt What- ever. Not so very long ago pulmonary tuberculosis was responsible for nearly 3,000 deaths annually in ev- ery 100,000 of the population. In 1937 there were only 690 deaths per 100,000. Diphtheria is being rapidly overcome by suitable pre- ventive inoculation. The death rate in many largo American and Canadian towns has been reduced to minimal propor- tions; and in Hamilton, Ontario, a town of 175,000 inhabitants, not a single ease has been diagnosed in the last five years. Discovery of Instaiin In the field of bio -chemistry also there have been equally beneficent advances, says Sir Edward. Mellan- by. The discovery of insulin has saved thousands of lives in the case of diabetes and enabled many more thousands of sufferers to lead comfortable and active lives. The same is true in respect of pernicious anaemia, thanks to the discovery and application of liver and certain stomach extracts. More recently still the discovery of the sulphanilamide group of the compounds has brought a new and already proven weapon into the field against a large group of bac- teria -produced diseases. Surgery Again, in the field of surgery, particularly of the brain, chest and thyroid, there have been similar triumphs. Tumours in portions of the brain which, fifty years ago, would have been considered as wholly inaccessible, are today' be- ing successfully removed with re- storation to health and normal life on the part of the patients con- 'eerned.
