6:1,10;; 2 Tim. 4:6.8; I Peter
1:3.9; Rev. 22:1-5.

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,"

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.

THE discovery of the new giant star is no accident. It is one
of a pair of giant suns, and is discovery is the result of a 38 -year
search, begun in 1899 by the late Professor Edwin Brant Frost,
former director of Yerkes Observatory, and completed through the
collaboration of three University of Chicago astronomers.

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.

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.
