THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -A11 th.e words quoted front the Gospel of Jahn were spok- en on Thursday evening of Passion Week, .April 6, A.D. 30. The Epistle of Paul to the Romans was written about 60 A.D.; Second Corinthians, the year following; Galatians. 58 A.D.; and the Epistle to the Eph- esians, Philippians, and Colossians, 64 A.D. Place. -The words spokee by our Lord were uttered in Jerusalem. The Epistles to the Romans and the Galatians were written from the City of Corinth, First Corin- thians from the City of Ephesus, Secoud Corinthians, probably, from the City of Philippi; Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, were Written while Paul was in prison 1n Ronne. 1. "I am the true vine, and my I1'ather is the husbandman." Of Sousse, the vine referred to here Is the grape -vine, so common throughout Palestine. What is the Vine? The vine is the root, the Main atem, the branches, the ten- drils, the leaves, the fruit -the whole at it. The vine is every- thing. Sesue said "I am the vine; ye are the branches"; that is ye are parts of Myself, united to me in a union so close and definite, that 1 am incomplete apart from you, as you are incomplete apart from Me. One Purpose Only 2. "Every branch in nie that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away; and every branch that bear- eth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it May bear more fruit" The grape- vine is for one particular purpose, to bear fruit. If it does not bear fruit, it is of no value. Branches that do not serve this purpose must be removed, for the simple reason that they take strength from other branches which are attempting to produce fruit, strength which in them would be wasted. The old self -life is always sending out its shoots, and we eau have no mercy �, on them; but if we deal with the more superficial eine on/ the sur- face of our life, as we get older we realize their deeper appeals, and to the end of .ife shall be more and more aware of their sin- ister power. The quick sensitive- ness of age must not be ignored. It may be as strong a shoot in the old forest sapling as the manifest- ations of passion in earlier life. Old men, for instauce, may be jeal- ous of young ones, and quick to take offence if there are symptoms of their being put aside. 8. "Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you." The Word is God's pruning knife. God had discovered and condemned all there was of self; they were now emptied and cleansed, ready for the incoming of the Holy Spirit. 4. "Abide In me, and 1 in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me." The vine abides in the branch through its life-giving sap, and the branch abides in the vine by its organic growth. There is a mutual inbeing. The more we en- deavor to abide in Christ the more are we sure that He abides in us. 5. "I am the viae, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit; for apart from me ye can do nothing." If we are abid- ing in Jesus, let us begin to work. Let us first seek to influence those around us in daily life. When you look at the branch, you see at once the likeness to the Vine. We must live to be like Jesus. With The Wicked 6. "lf a man abide not in me, he Is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them., and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." The soul grows sere and shrivelle that is cast tenth from Christ; it pines awa, under the scorching influence of the world and alienation from the truth. What about those who are "cast into the fire and burned?" Does it not mean that they will have their place with the incorrig- ibly wicked at last? Prayer 7. "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask wbatso- ever ye will, slid it shall be clone unto you. 8. Herein is lay Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples." Why speak of prayer at this point' Prayer is the branches desiring and demanding the life of the vine in order that they may boar fruit according to the nature and pur- pose of the vine, Commandments 9. "Even as the Father Jlaib loved me, 1 also have loved you: abide ye its my love." Tho Coa.i;aris011 is consoling; showing 1..lth t.ee Ince that Ile loved them, and the re - "BATTLE STATIONS" ABOARD THE U. S. REUBEN JAMES "Battle stations,' manning and directing the g uns of the U.S.S.

Early reports by the Navy Department left their fate uncertain, as none of the 44 ,crew members known to have been rescued was an officer. markable degree to which he loved them. All relations and conditions of discipleship are reduced to love. 10. "If ye keep my command- ments, ye shall abide in my love; even as 1 have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love." God's commandments have to do with the life He commands us to live, with the conduct of our daily experience. To disobey the commandments of our Lord is to put ourselves in such a position of heart, mind and soul, that the life of Christ does not freely flow unto us. 150,000,000 Back Allies In Afric General Charles de Gaulle, Free French leader, told the Royal Af- rican Society that "150,000,000 Africans are united in a single wish -the des' 'e for vitcory." "None of the great continents offers such complete unanimity of opinion from this point of view," he said.

Large Families The Password One Place In World Where Large Family Is Not Handi- cap You may be rolling in money . - - able to buy dozens of fine blouses . but you can't even rent a ga- rage in Mary Ridge, St. Louis, Mo., unless you are raising a large family. This exclusive suburban settle - anent is attracting widespread in- terest in this day of mass housing problems, apartment dwellings, and cramped efficiences as one place where the head of a big fame 1.1y doesn't meet with the rebuff. "Sorry, but you've too many chil- dren, the neighbors won't like it." Here the answer is: "Come right in, you're what we're looking for. -People who don't have children don't live here." Mary Ridge is the successful outcome of an idea that germin- ated early in the business career of Charles F. Vatterott, Jr. "As a real estate man and lum- ber dealer for 20 years," he said, "I am aware of the fact that in many subdivisions parents with many children are not welcome, and I've sensed the need for some- thing like this. "In developing 20 subdivisions and building more than 2,000 homes I've seen large families dis- oriminated against time and time again. I've had, to turn down big families who wanted to buy or rant because 1 knew the neighbors would object. So I made up my mind that some day I would de- velop a subdivision devoted ex- clusively - to big families." Mr. Vatterott who is the oldest of 11 children and the father of eight, launched the project in April, 1940, and today the last of 100 planned houses are rapidly nearing completion. The finished homes are 80 per cent occupied, many having been sold before they were built. President of U.S. Speaks About Nazis The practice of executing scores of innocent hostages in re- prisal for • isolated attacks on Germans in countries temporar- ily under the Nazi heel revolts a.• world already inured to suf- fering and brutality. Civilized peoples long ago adopted the basic principle that no man should be punished for the deed of an- other. Unable to apprehend the per- sons involved in these attacks the Nazis characteristically slaughter 50 or 100 innocent persons. Those who would "collaborate" with Hitler or try to appease him can- not ignore this ghastly warning. The Nazis might have learned from the last war the impossi- bility of breaking men's spirit by terrorism. Instead they develop their "Lebensraum" and "new order" by depths of frightfulness which even they have never ap- proached before. These are the acts of desper- ate men who know in .their hearts that they cannot win, Frightful- ness can never bring peace to Europe. It only sows the seeds of hatred which will one day bring fearful retribution. -President 1iooec;velt. ..-.,.41...x.., POP ---The Needle Just I CANT Tl -TREAD l-HIs "ORDINAGLY" Nggt3Lg !
