THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—It is not practical to give dates for each of the twelve books from which passages in this lesson are taken. Broadly, we would say that the first reference to the 'Holy Spirit occurs in the time of creation. The promise of the Spirit is in the days of the Prophets. Our Lord Himself, when on earth, continually spoke of the work and power of the Holy Spirit, who Himself des- cended at Pentecost, who power- fully manifested Himself in later events in the Early Church, and whose deeper work is unfolded for us in the Epistles of Paul, writ- ten before A.D. 64 or 65. Place.—Most of our Lord's words concerning the Holy Spirit were spoken in Jerusalem,, on Thursday of Holy Week. The Holy Spirit fell upon the new- born Church in the City of Jeru- salem, and here later, the same disciples were filled again by the Spirit of God. Cornelius and his household lived in Caesarea. The interview of the Apostle Paul with the disciples of John the Baptist took place in Ephesus. God a Person Personality in the popular mind is associated only with hu- man beings, and it seems strange, therefore, to speak of the Holy Spirit as a person. Personality is simply self-conscious and ra- tional existence: it is mat* up of three attributes consciousness, character and will. The posses- sion of these it is that makes God a person. The Spirit of Life 6. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which io born of the flesh is flesh;. and that which is born of the Spirit b spirit. 7. Marvel not that I maid unto thee, Ye must be born anew." Entrance into the king- dom . of God is limited to those who have undergone that divine renewal of nature, in conse- quence of which sin is taken away and the Spirit oe'God be- comes their life. They must be cleansed from the pollution of past sins; they must be born again by passing from the law of tin and death to the law of the spirit of life. Born of the Spirit 8. "The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the spirit." . .Why does Jesus speak of the spirit in this figura- tive way comparing it to the wind? "Just as the power of the wind is beyond dispute, while the law of its coming and going abides a mystery, so the fact of the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit is proved by the phenomena of grace, while all the sacred mystery of its operation is beyond the discovery of any hu - ,:man mind." Power of the Spirit 8. "But ye shall receive power,, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Men are sunk in sin, and it takes great power to de- liver them from such a bondage. Men are blind to truth, and only a message powerfully delivered can be used to bring the truth into their hearts. Mind of the Spirit 26. "And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirm- ity; for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit him- self maketh intersession for us with groanings that cannot be ut- tered; 27 and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints 'according to the will of God. 28. And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose." ,Infirmity includes all that encum- bers and obstructs our normal spiritual life. The divine spirit, by His immediate influence on the saint's soul, secures the right- ness of the essence of the saint's prayer. The desires that underly the prayer are unutterable to the full. INDIAN N PA NHANDJ ,F&S BITE DUKE FOR TWO -BITS Even on their Alberta, Canada, ranch, the D uke and Duchess of Windsor can't get away from fans and cameramen. These Indians, it turned out, wanted cash, not autographs. • "Need money for tea. Need money for coffee. Need money for flour," they said. "You boss, you pay." The duke parted with a quarter, then told red men to vanish. Fruit of the Spirit 22. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23. meekness, self- control; against such there is no law. 24. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. 25. If we live by the Spirit, by the 'Spirit let us also walk. 26. Let us not be- come vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another." By way of striking contrast there is now arrayed against these fleshly vices a list of Christian virtues, under the term, 'the fruit of the spirit.' This fruit is one, yet manifold. All the graces are the products of a soul which is controlled by the Spirit of Christ. Fall Coats Have Many New Points Most significant of the Fall 1941 coat fashions for girls is the wrap- around silhouette with tide sell belt. Outstanding characteristic of this coat style is the season's new natural shoulder line, round• ed, and feminine, radical and flat. tering departure from the "T" squared, padded shoulder worn for several years. The old favorite rag. Ian shoulder returns as one of the best interpretive treatments of this new sloped line, which is of para mount importance in all types of apparel. Variations of the dolman sleeve abound, usually combined with bloused fullness above the waistline, achieving an easy and graceful line in this style -right fashion. The pra.ctica•1 "zip -in" linings have a new feature this year, coin plete sleeves with knitted wind breaker cuffs, warm enough for the coldest of Winter days. These new types of extra linings are made in the same color as the coat it- self, usually in a lighter weight of the same fabric, The boxy coat is best liked in double-breasted Brooks style with mannish back belt, welted seams, vent back and large patch pockets with flap trims. Other countries, other man- ners. The mourning colour is red in parts of Africa, white in China, blue in Syria, violet in Turkey, and yellow hi Egypt.

POP—No Question About It C. tapult Plane Bat ties "; aiders Carried On Merchantmen, They Take Off When Raid- ers Are Sighted For some,; months now British merchantmen traveling alone or in convbys have been carrying on foredeck catapults Hurricane fight- ers, prepared to take off against raiding ' Focke-Wulfs. Often for plane and pilot it is a suicide mis- sion. 'Man ' German raiders, which malee.;long sweeping loops from Bretovdr the southern tip of Ire- landSar out to sea, are sighted, the - Tittle Hurricanes are thrown Mete air for battle. Speedy and with effective firepower, the fighter planes are more than a match for the four -engined raiders, which, however, are faster than any coast- al patrol planes doing ocean ser- vice.. ,This method has proved the most effective devised to date against the raids on British ship- ping, and .,during the recent re- newal of the heaviest German ship- ping attacks since last Spring, the Hurricanes have shot down an un- a-annouaced number of Condors and Kuriers. The area of these German losses range from the neighbor- hood of Gibraltar to the North At- lantic. Though they may be victorious, many of these fighter pilots never live to make their reports. Once they are off the ship and have finished' fighting, they have three courses. If near enough to home, ` they May land safely and so live to fight again; If too far away, they ;may try to make crash sea landings'; and await rescue. Such a landing in the little fighter is very' dangerous and more often than not unsuccessful. Planes el- even -0e' lost in sea landings. The third method of potential rescn:ee;is'for the pilot to bail out as,'elose:'a:s possible to safe land and use- the standard rubber raft such as 3s carried by cross -Chan• nel fighters. In the open ocean, however; this is f .r more danger- ous and less successful than in the Channel. New .Parachute Has Anti -spin Anchor A new parachute which will prevent parachute troops from spinning dizzily through the air was announced recently in a sym- posium on aviation medicine at the University of Chicago's 50th anniversary celebration. Dr. Andrew C. Ivy of North- western University, Chicago, and Dr. Anton J. Carlson of. the Uni- versity of 'Chicago, declared the new parachute with' a small anti - spin "air anchor" has been found to give the juniper a feeling of confidence, particularly in delay- ed falls because he floats in an erect or partly -erect position and does not whirl. RADIO REPOR TE DIALING WITH DAVE: Across. Canada's musical horizon in 1935, came the figure of Mart Kenney. Starting with a small seven piece group in Western Can- ada, Kenney built his band into Canada's foremost modern musical aggregation, and during the past Yew years has been a favorite net- work feature from coast to eoast Last season, Mart appeared at Burlington's Brant Inn and hit an all-time high in popularity with dancers and listeners alike. This year, Mart has returned to the Brant, and CKOC broadcasts a full half hour of his fine music Friday and Saturday evenings at 10.00 E.D.S.T. directly from the Brant Inn. And, one of the Mart Kenney Alumnae, charming vocalist Geor- gia Dey, has again become news to Canadian radio listeners. Tues- day evenings at 8.30, the program "Blended Rhythm" is heard from CKOC and the national CBC net- work, and featuree Georgia Dey, with Burt Austin, the Campbell Sisters and Eric Wild's music. It's another great national feature now heard on CKOC and a brand new program for the entire network. You'll like the fast -paced, rhythm- ically entertaining "B t e n d e d Rhythm" -- Tuesday night C.B.C. national feature! * * * The 1941 Autumn War Savings Campaign broadcasts started on Wednesday night at eight o'clock E.D.S.T. They are designed as var- iety shows, with orchestra, chor- us and featured artists. Leading personalities from the 'U.S. Stage, screen and radio will be associated with Canadian headliners through- out the series, which will be pro- duced by John Adaskin before an invited audience in the Audtltor- ium, Toronto. CKOC is with the C.B.C. national network, in carry- ing these shows each Wednesday evening. Remember the time— eight o'clock, E.D.S.T. * * * Music from the movies are often the tunes that make the nation's popular music Hit Parade; the movies have corralled some of the great composers of today, include ing Jerome Kern, Rogers Se Hart, and others, to pen the scores fot' the various musicals. Incorporating many of these tunes and the oth- ers that become popularized froi4 Tin Pan Alley, CKOC's Strudel, Hit Parade at 1,30 E.D.S.T. is a bit chow of hit tunes. The tempo is keen — the music me1odiouo and the half hour fits nicely into SUNDAY ON CKOC — a day of outstanding radio listening for every home. * * * THIS 'N' THAT: Edna May Oliver made such a hit for her first appearance witle Rudy Vallee and John Barrymore on their Thursday NBC program at 11.00 p,m. E.D,S.T., that she was signed to appear regularly, once a month. Bob Farnon, Musical Beauty Box maestro and Happy Gang funster, played drums when he was fifteen; and played then well. Bob Hope has written his life story. It's a riot — and so is Hope's Variety show — NBC Tuesday at 11.00 p.m. E.D,S.T. Musical sensation of the week — Artie Shaw's new symphonic jazz Orchestra — thirty-two pieces — and he's making them pay! Post Offices Take Books For Soldiers Hon. W. P. Mulock, Postmaster - General, announced recently that in the interest of soldiers, sailors and airmen stationed in Canada and Newfoundland all Canadian Post Officers will act as depositing centres for books. "This applies to books only, not to magazines and newspapers," said the Minister. "Persons who wish to supply our forces with much appreciated reading matter now may hand in these volumes at their Post Office. The books donat- ed should be clean and in good condition. It will not even be nec- essary to wrap them as they will be placed in mail bags specially provided for the purpose."
