the New Covenant --- Hebrews
8:1---10:18.
PRINTED TEXT, Hebrews 9:11-22.
GOLDEN TEXT -- Having been
made perfect, he became unto
all them that obey him the

Heb. 5:9.
THE LESSON IN iTS SETTING
Time: Apparently the Epistle
to the Hebrews was written before
the fall of Jerusalem, and there-
fore, possibly, about A,D. 67.
Place: We do not know from
what place the Epistle was writ-
ten, and it is not necessary to
know, for an understanding of
these wonderful chapters.
The purpose of this Epistle was
to reveal to the Jewish Christians
of that day and then tonall infinit-
tians of every age,
e
superiority of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and to encourage believers
to hold fast to their confession.
(an the one hand this Epistle is a
revelation of the meaning of
Christ's sacrifice for us, and on
the other hand, a constant encour-
agement to abide faithful in him.
"11. But Christ having come a
high priest of the good things to
come ,through the greater and
more perfect tabernacle, not made
with hands, that is to say, not by
this creation." The tabernacle heer
is the heavens, through which
Christ passed, according to his
mystical body, and the holy place
is the heaven itself, the especial
abode of the Invisible and unap-
proachaible God.
Promise of Intention
"12. Nor yet through the blood
of goats and calves but through
his own blood, entered in once for
all into the holy place, having ob-
tained eternal redemption."
No priest in the Old Testament
covenant ever offered his own
blood, but the blood of some. ani-
mal, which in latself butcould
never
ever
take ' away
symbolize the removal of sin. Our
Lord, when he offered a sacrifice
to God offered his own blood, by
which offering he purchased for
us an eternal redemption. The
sacrifice of the priest had only
temporary consequences,
the redemption obtained by Christ
has eternal consequences.
"13. For if the blood of goats
and bulls and the ashes of an
heifer sprinkling them that have
been defiled, sanctity unto the
cleanness of the flesh. 14. How
much more shall the blood of
Christ who through the eternal
spirit offered himself without ble-
mish to God, cleanse your eons -
ciente from dead works to serve
the living God? The blood of
animal sacrifices and the -water of
purification sanctify and cleanse
the flesh; the blood of Christ
cleanses your conscience of dead
works to serve the living God.
"15. And for this cause he Is
the mediator of a new covenant,
that a death having taken place
for the redemption of the trans-
gressions that were under the first
covenant, they that have been
called may receive the promisee
the eternal inheritance." The first
covenant had its sanction in God's
appointment; the new covenant
could not take its place until the
first had met with full satisfaction
for its claims. There was no way
for this but by a death by a blood -
shedding, So the Mediator of the
new covenant opens a path to the
beginning of a new life in the
favor and power of God.

and thus a putting away, ultimate-
ly a cancellation, .No sin can ever
be put away, according to God's
ordinances, except through the
blood of Christ. Though Christ
once died on earth and has gone
to• Heaven He will some day ap-
pear
again;
sin, that is, to put away sin. When
he appears the second time it will
bn apart from sin, to judge those
who have not received the atone-
ment which His holy death freely
Eternal Redemption
"16. For, where a testament is,
there must of necessity be the
death of him that made it. 17. For
a testament is of force wherethe re
'hath been death; for it doth never
avail while he that made it liveth.
1S. Wherefore even the first cove-
nant hath not been dedicated
without blood." It is the will of
God that his heavenly inheritance
should be for his people. Does the
devising of this eternal property
insure our possession of it? Before
we can inherit his blessings there
has to come the death of Him
through whom all these blessings
were promised.
19. For when every command-
ment has been spoken by Moses
unto all the people according to
the law, he took the blood of the
calves and the goats, with water
and scarlet wool and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book itself and
all the people, 20, saying, this is
the blood of the covenant which
God commanded to you -ward.
Joy in Sacrifice
21, Moreover the tabernacle
and all the vessels of the ministry
be sprinkied in like manner with
blood. 22. And according to the
law, I may almost say, all things
are cleansed with blood, and apart
from shedding of blood there le
no remission." The blood remov
etd from the objects sprinkledwith
it all unoleanness, 'Being so
Winkled they were purified and
thus sanctified tar God's eerviee.
The blood erased to God's sight

never look for any other sacrifice,
and do not offer another sacrifice,
testifies to the wonderful. peace
and freedom and joy and forgive-
ness which they have found in the
sacrifice of Christ on Calvary.

SAVE REAL "PANNING"
If Canada can evoke even half
the enthusiasm of the United
States in securing aluminum, the
campaign in this country will be
a big success. They have been
doing a grand job to the south.
—St. Catharines Standard,
During an emergency evacua-
tion from a British coastal town
refreshments for the evacuees
were needed at a point halfway
to the reception areas. The rail-
way company called upon the
Scouts and Guides of the stop-
ping place, and they readily and
efficiently made the necessary
arrangements and fed the travel-
ers.
in side with the sole object of
oomforting it, even it his pal lay
in the middle of a whizzing thor•
oughlare. Roller skates, too, have
always been unpredletatle things.
They alight scoot the best of fel-
lows down an , incline into n
motorists's path. The same thing
happened when today's drivers
were in knee pants; but, of course,
the horse and buggy didn't carry
the same menace as today's cars.
The point is that kids are kids,
and the sooner all motorists real-
ize this and make allowances for
the eternal truth, the more lives
will be saved. —Galt Reporter.
SPEECH TO AN ALLY
Though the Nazi overlords have
done their best to keep the dowee
trodden French population from
listening to broadcasts from Bri-
tish countries, there were probably
a great many of them who heard
the speech delivered by Premier
Godbout of Quebec, a few weeks
ago. News of it will spread through
France.
It was the sort of speech the
people of that country want to
hear, Mr. Godbout tolr them that
we want them as our allies again,
and so we do. He realizes, as do
we all, that it was not the fine
French people who collapsed be-
fore the German juggernaut, and
it is not the French people who
are now engaged in the continuous
process of selling out their coun-
try. The real French nation still
lives and breathes, its soul free
and independent despite physical
slavery. It deserves the assurance
that Mr. Godbout has given, that
the people in this Dominion who
own French as their mother
tongue are grimly determined that
France shall live once more.

IN "HIGH" GEAR
The traffic officer asked the
pretty miss what gear she was in
at the time of the accident, and
she replied that she had on a blue
woollen sports coat, fur cap, gaunt-
let gloves' and tan shoes.

FIGHTING NAVAL ACTIONS
Naval actions are fought at long
range. Even if there is a battle
at short range comparatively few
people on any ship get a glimpse
of the opposing forces. Even the
guns' crew on the upper deck see
very little as a rule. A. modern
battleship is divided both above
and below the waterline into a
large number of watertight com-
partments,
at
there isnos direct scommunieation
between them. When a man has
reached his station—boiler room,
eugine room, magazine, ammuni-
tion hoist or fire main—he finds
himself sealed up in a steel box
and there it is his duty to remain
until the belay is sounded, unless
he is called away by order of his
sup erior officer.

YOU WERE YOUNG, TOO
That's a point to bear in mind
when thinking about safety for
kiddies on the streets. If the mo-
torist will only stop to realize it,
he will recall how happy-goducky
he ouce was in the good old sum-
mertime. He used to race madly
to and fro playing some game or
other, chasing a ball unthinkingly
into the middle of the road, across
it. Of if the young lad's pup was
hurt while careening about in wild
play, he would run to its whimper -
Two Great Nations
Henry Ward Beecher, in a speech
at Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1863,
said "the day is coming when the
foundations of the earth will be
lifted out of their places; and
there are two nations that ought to
be found shoulder to shoulder and
hand iu hand, for the sake of
Christianity and universal liberty.
and these nations are Great Bri-
tain and America."

The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill
in his book "Great Contemporar-
ies," published in 1939, devotes
several pages to Lord Baden-
Powell and the Scout Movement.
He describes Scouting as "an in-
stitution and an inspiration char-
acteristic of the essence of Brit-
ish genius, and uniting in a bond
of comradeship the youth not
only of the English speaking
world, but almost every land and
people under the sun."
' Referring to the service ren-
dered by Boy Scouts during the
first Great War he writes: "Boy
Scouts played their part. Their
keen eyes were added to the
watchers along the coast, and in
the air raids we saw the spectacle
of children of 12 and 14 perform-
ig with perfect coolness and com-
posure the useful functions as-
signed to them in the streets
and public offices.
"Many venerable, famous in-
stitutions and systems long hon-
oured by men perished in the
storm, but the Boy Scout Move-
ment survived. It survived not
only the war, but the numbing
reactions of the aftermath; while
so many elements in the life and
spirit of the victorious nations
seemed' to be lost in stupor, it
flourished and grew increasingly.
"Its mottoes gather new na-
tional significance as the years
unfold upon our island. It speaks
to o; cry h. art its roe age of
duty and honour: 13e nrenared
'to stand up faithfully for Right
and Truth, however the winds
may blow.'
Women in India "preserve" po-
tatoes by boiling them lightly,
skinning them, and then letting
them dry in the sun. Treated
thus, potatoes will keep for twelve
months.
