PRINTED TEXT -- John 14:1-6; Rev. 22:1.5. GOLDEN TEXT -in My Father's house are many mansions. John 14:2. THE LESSON IN iT$ SETTING. Time -Tile passage taken from Matthew belongs to a discourse spoken on Tuesday of Passion Week, April 4, A.D. 30; the one taken from John's Gospel was spoken on Thursday night of the same week. The Second Epistle of Paul to the Church at Corinth was written about A.D. 59 or 60, while his Second Epistle to Timothy was written at the very end of his life, A.D. 65 or 66. The First Epistle of Peter was written about A.D. 60; the book of Revelation, A.D. 95. Place -The two discourses of Christ hero used were uttered in Jerusalem. Paul wrote the Second. Epistle to the Corinthians from Elphesus, and the Second Epistle of Timothy from Rome. We do not know from what city Peter wrote bis First Epistle; all we know about the book of Revelation, as far as geography is concerned, is that the visions were received on the Island of Patmos. 1."Let not your heart be troub- led: believe In God, believe also n me." The Lord comforts the desciples with the sure hope that, though He must leave them, He and they shall meet again and He intimates that He is the personal :revelation of the Father. 2. "In my Farther's house are :many mansions; if it were not so, 1 would have told you." There are enany :anions or dwelling places, there is room enough for all. Christ, in His fairness, would not have invited them to a place in which there was not room for all. "For I go to prepare a place for you." This is a beautiful way for our Lord to speak of His exodus from this world. 3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Just as Christ came down from glory once to do a specific work, Ile will come again to do another specific work. He wants us to be with Hini because He loves us. 4. "And whither I go, ye know the way. 5. Thomas saith unto " tilifiett "';$u'LSrt; niaaartffir 'iif"" e `tha" way?" Jesus goes by the way in which He Iived, a kind of life un- mistakably pointing towards God as source and goal. We conjecture where a man is going by the life he lives. 6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way and the truth, and the life" The way is a recognized name for Christianity. To know the truth is also to know the way to God. He is the life, being one with the living Father and being sent by Him. To know the .life is to know the way to God. "No one cometh unto the Father, but by me." The Apostle Paul constantly emphasizes the truth that we have access to the Father only through the Lord Jesus Christ. 1. "And he showed me a river of water of life bright as crystal, peroceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and cn that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manna of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." The river of water of Iife is a beautiful sym- bol of life in its gladness, purity and activity, ever flowing through the heavenly city. As the water of the river is called the water of life, so the tree here seen with its twelve fruits is called the tree of life, which of course remin.ds us of the Garden of Eden. 3. "And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and His servants shall+ serve Him; 4. and they shall see His face; and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5. And there shall. be might no more; and they need no light of lamp neither light of sun; icor the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for- ever and ever." Four things are maid here about the children of God, in their heavenly home: they will serve the Lamb they will be- hold His face, His name will be en their foreheads, and they shall reign forever • and ever. What does the text mean, that we shall reign forever and ever? The whole uni- verse is under the sovereign con- trol of God. We have already seen that the earth will be peopled with nektons recedving biassing from Heaven. May this not refer, then, to our positions of authority over different parts of the Kingdom o9: God, corresponding to the words of ,our Lord, when to the faithful the promise is made. "Well done, good and faithful servant: thou bast been faithful over a few things, C Will set thee over many things, enter then into the joy of the Lord," First Down In First Snow esseeoese (photo: Cam, Nati Rys.)

Victory Army Told To Become Active Europe's "V for Victory" army, which has been estimated et 200:- 000,000, was told by "Col. Brit- ton," radio originator of the cam- paign, to harass the Nazis, to switch from passive to active re- alstance in the German-occupied countries. The time has come, he said over the BBC, for the army to form in small platoons to "help each other." He also urged that factory workers lose their tools and that office workers muddle and mis- calculate. "The slower you work the reeicker you'll win," he said.

Kr,XT: is tt'cre a special "brain food"? How Many Know Strength o Navy? Some interesting Naval Data Given by the St. Thomas Times -Journal The Royal Navy is doing a job that is one of the wonders of the world because it has to cover al- most the elitire seven seas with vastly less support than it had in the last war. This success is largely due to the greater use of types of small craft which were not employed during 1914-18, par. • ticularly the corvette, and fast, powerful roto'' and other mosquito boats doing patrdl work. There are„hundreds of small ships which e,jpy the dignity of being vain- -able units of His Majesty's Royal Navy. Great Britain started off the pre- sent war with a serious inferior- ity in capital ships compared with the First Great War. In 1914 she was "-:assisted by , the navies of France, Russia, Japan, and in April 1915, Italy joined in. In April 1917 the United States was added to the naval forces of the Allies. The • French navy dropped out of the iteesent war in June last year, and about the sane time Italy was added against us. 'On the other hand Germany also began the war with less power than in 1914. Comparative Losses The following table shows how small have been the losses of the Royal Navy during the first two years of this war compared with the last one: Ba`tleships Battle cruisers Aircraft carriers None in use 1 Cruisers •... 17 9 DestroYera 24 53 Submarines 24 29 The heavy losses in 1914.15 c%Lefly" occurred in the battles of >c ;onel ,,and Jutland and during th'e attempts to force the Dar- denellesa• Mines also accounted for a . good many, including the brand new: battleship Audacious in the Irish Sea.. Britain's loss of 53 destroyers this ',;time is offset, however, by the 50 old destroyers traded with the United: States for naval bases. And:,on this occasion Canada is ;1nak1.4g'' a::wonderful contribution with around 250 ships. The num- ber is being added to weekly. 1914-1916 1939-1941 10 1 3 1 Sam's. Going Back r To Hill Country *a'SeartaClelande' 77 -year-old pros- ' .who drifted into Wells, B.C. "ti 'mg ago,, afters.. 12 years of solitude in the hills of 'what he , calls " Mc, attain Goat" country, decided after getting an earful of the war news that he wouldn't staff* here any longer than neces- sexy, "I'um, going back to the hills where I belong," he said. "Next time I come out, I may stay out, but not '• now, not now. Cleland; who was wounded at Vinay Ridge in the First Great l Wa> ,anc1 homesteaded in the Peace +';Riven, country before taking to prospecting in the interior hills of British Columbia, said he couldn't believe Britain and Germany were -at .zvar again. • "`We licked those fellows years ago and you can't tell nie they .'are Iooking, for more," declared Cleland, who said he hadn't seen a fellow human since 1932. Can Write On It Or Dress In It The Germans also have their campaign for economy in the use of paper, only they put in on rather different grounds from the British. Their slogan is one that comes near to the heart. It is in effect "Paper or Clothes?" As the "Zeitschr'ift fur offentliche Wirts- chaft" puts it: "Cellulose, the basis of paper production, only exists once, and we have the choice whe- ther to write on it or to dress in It. By economizing in the use of paper exerybody can help to decide whether 'with the next clothing ration -card he or she is to obtain an extra pair of stocings and ma• terial for another spring dress or working suit" The point of course, is that the German civilian is now clothed mainly in synthetic fibres, .and, such luxuries as wool, cotton, flax, and silk rarely come his way. The, choice between wood pulp for paper and for clothes is a real one.
