Mark 1:17. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING r Time - i"heit r' co vo Batton of Je- 'sus with in the three disciples took place in February, A.D. 27. The late Professor David Smith says that the interview with John and An"d- rew.ttlbk place on the Sabbath day, and the interview with Simon Peter on the day following. The miracle of the phenomenal draught of fish- es ocentaed in April, A.D., 28, Place - The interview of Jesus with the three disciples was at or near Bethany, beyond Jordan, near where Christ had been baptized. The miracle of the great draught of fishes occurred on the Sea of Galilee, not far from the city of Ca- pernaum, The Leeson opens at the very out- set of the public ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this first .chapter of John's Gospel we have recorded the early ministry of John the Baptist and the baptism of Je- sus. Now occurs an. event of the greatest significance. Two follow- ers of John the Baptist, as soon as they heard what their master said about Jesus, turned from the fore- runner of Christ to Christ himself. 40. One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Sinton Peter's brother. He Brought His Brother 41. He findeth first his own bro- ther Simon. Andrew in a few hours' fellowship with Jesus had become persuaded that this person Jesus was none other than the Messiah, of whom all the Old Testament wri- ters prophesied. 41. And saith unto him, We have found the Messiah '(which is, be- ing interpreted, Christ. 42. He brought him unto Jesus. This was the greatest thing that Andrew ever did, Andrew was not a great man, but he brought one of the greatest of the apostles to the feet of Jesus. 42. Jesus looked unto hint. The face of Jesus, searched men and dis- eove,red the secrets of their hearts. And said, Thou are Sinton the son of John. The apostle John in this very Gospel says of Jesus, "He needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man." - (2:25). A New Name 42. Thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter), Our Lord, in giving Simon a new name, gave him a new hope.. 1. Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon hint and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesar- et; 2. and he saw two boats stand- ing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. The principal industry in Jesus' time was fishing. The nets most commonly used by the Galilean fi- shermen, when boats were avail- able, were what were called drag- nets, each net being hung in a semicirole between two or more boats, far out in the lake, and then dragged ashore, 3. And he entered one of the boats, 'which was Simon's, and ask, ed ltirn to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. "Master"! 4. And when he had left speaking he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5. And Simon an- swered and said, Master, we toil- ed all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets. It was all right for our Lord to take the leading place that day when it came to the mater of the preaching and teaching, but Peter was notit• qu o so keen about the Lord's making suggestions regard- ing the fishing business, in which Peter had spent all of his working life, and about which, humanly speaking, Jesus was supposed to know very little. 6. And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were break- ing; 7. and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink, Everything here turns upon the revelation of a mastery of nat- ure claimed by Jesus. 8. But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, say- ing, Depart from me; for I am a sinful rnan, 0 Lord. 9. For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; 10. and so were also James and John, sons of Zebe- dee, who were partners with Simon. As with Peter, so with all believ- ers. The hour of the revelation of Jesus' grace and love are the times of the deepest abasement. And those times are for the most part not at the beginning, but in the la- ter progress of the life of faith. Fishers of Men 10. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. The Lord speaks of the unknown in terms of the known. He uses their iutimate ac- quaintance with their daily occupa- tion to unfold to them the nature of the work to which he was calling them. 11. And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him. Jesus would have every Christian be a fisher of men. Canadian Authoress Dies A writer of wide renown, Lady Willison died suddenly' at her Toronto hone, She was wide- ly known throughout Canada and recognized as one of the Domin- ion's foremost literary critics. Are You Listening? By FREDDIE TEE FREDDIE TEE Slants Here and There Anthony Eden was an interested spectator at Sophie Tucker's re- cent broadcast. La Tucker be - carne acquainted with Eden while :she was playing in Europe and the meeting was in the nature of a re -union. Elsie Thompson, CBS organist, has been bitten with the compos- ing urge and spends her spare time turning out ditties, NI3C Conductor Frank Black is an ardent worshipper of the classles, but one of his novel quar- tet arrangements of "Dinah," which he created for The Revelers in 1924, made The Revelers fam- ous the world over. Rosemary Stuart Lambright, 19 -year-old NBC actress who has just been added to the cast "of Kitty Keene, Inc,, is a direct descendent of Mary, Queen of ,Scotland. Only 19, she has been on the air for two years. Fanny Brice Fanny Ilrice, tho Baby Snooks of NBC's (.good News of 1939 pro- gram, is intensely interested h in- terior decoration and supervised the furnishing of her new home di i3e1 Air, California.

Out in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a pretty .girl in her early twenties is music direc- tor of Station WOWO, NBC All - ate.. Her name is Jeanne Brown anti she's been boss of music at %OWO since the station opened b* new studios, Old Country Stations The new interest created, In listening to foreign radio recep- tion over short-wave, is really amazing. This is the result of the new DeForest Crosley Spread - Band Glial which has six individual spread -bands "stretched" out to approximately 9" wide (five of these devoted to each of the short-wave channels). This of course, makes foreign stations as easy to tune in as New York or Chicago. Owners of these new 1939 "Music Master Series" De - Forest Crosley Radios are getting a renewed kick out of "long range" reception. Cancer,,Causes Every Ninth Death Here Was Second Highest Cause of Death in Canada Last • Year TORONTO, -One out of every nine people who died in Canada' last year was a victim of cancer which is now theec s and highest cause of death in this country. This h s toll ofnearly 1,000 a month coup e c b cut to 600 accord- ing to Dr. C. C, Rosa, Executive Secretary of the Canadian Society for the Control of Cancer, the new organization that has been established under the sponsorship of the Canadian Medical Associa- tion and with the co-operation of prominent ,medical men and lay- men in every province. Half of the present deaths could be prevented if people would see thier medical advisers for early diagnosis of the slightest symp- tom, submit to a periodic health examination and obtain adequate treatment in the early stages. View Lumps With Suspicion Cancer of the lip, he said, oc- curred mainly in men and usually among pipe smokers. If a pipe smoker developed a soreness, hard spot, crack or ulcer on his li"p which would not heal, he should at once see a doctor. C anter of the mouth occurred among people who did not keep their mouths clean, he said. Lumps, swelling's or masses ap- pearing anywhere on the body should be viewed with suspicion. Perhaps not at first cancerous, they might change in time and become cancers. Warts, moles and birthmarks were harmless unless they suddenly started to grow. Sudden indigestion in people past forty, who had had healthy stom- achs all their lives, was the com- monest symptom of cancer in the food passages. King Will Speak Very Little Here Public Addresses to be Reduced To Minimum During Tour Ring George is desirous of cut- ting his speech -making on his Can- adian tour to the irreducible mini- mum, it is understood. Presumably, when the.Iiing does speak, briefly, for five or ten min- utes on occasion, arrangements will be made by the C.B.C. for carrying his words across the Dominion, to the United Kingdom, to the British Dominions and possibly. also to other parts of the world, The King will likely make at least four short speeches, at Que- bec when he lands, at some func- tion at Ottawa, at some point in the West and at Halifax before he sails with Queen Elizabeth for home. Queen Elizabeth, it is recalled, made a favorable impression in both the United Kingdom and other parts of the Commonwealth with her speech in substituting for King George during the Czecho-Slovakian crisis at the launching of the Queen Elizabeth, sister ship of the Queen Mary, in Scotland this fall. Pos- sibly an opportunity will be afford- ed Queen Elizabeth also to speak over the air while in Canada. May Learn Even Better at Forty Dr. E. A. Corbett, of Toronto, di- rector of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, speaking last week before the Women's Canadian Club of Sudbury, said he believes that "adult education is as old as the wisdom of man, but it is a term that has been in use for only ten or fifeen years." Sweeping the World Dr• Corbett declared that adult education "is a movement which is sweeping the world, and a move- ment that is most urgent in the Dominion of Canada," The speaker traced the movement from its con- ception in Scotland as a modern school about 150 years ago, adding: "We know now that education is not static, but progressive, that a man may be better able to learn at 40 than at 20." POP -A Matter of Change ...i_NNG TO k1 REDUCE, POP Must Recapture World Markets Economist Says Prairie Agri.. culture Will Have to Stage a Comeback if Full Employ. rent is to be Achieved in Canada Full employment will not likely be achieved in Canada until prair- ie agriculture has once more a pro. fitable relationship to world mar- kets, Dr, W. A, Mackintosh, profes- nor of economics at Queen's Univer- fifty, Kingston, Ont•, said in an ad- dres sat Winnipeg last week. . Relative importance of the west In the Canadian economy had been lessened since the war by expan- sion of the plup and paper and min- ing industries in Ontario, Quebec • and British Columbia, he said in a paper delivered before the prairie markets conference. Our Dependence on West It was unlikely, he added, that the west would resume its former dominant position. Nevertheless, the west continued to hold a vital relationship to the national econ- omy. "Whole sections of manufactur- ing industry, transportation and of a great many other industries are dependent for substantial portions of their markets on western Can- ada," he said. Electrification Of Rural Areas In Nova Scotia Is Being Provided at a Cost Less Than That in Any Other Canadian Province Rural electrification services in Nova Scotia are being provided at a cost less than that in any other Canadian province, J. J. Doolan, general superintendent of the light and power division of the Nova Scotia Light and Power Company told the Halifax branch of the Engineering Institute pf Canada. Contrasting the amount and method of Goternment aid to util- ities companies of Ontario and and Nova Scotia, Doolan said that Ontario gave a grant-in-aid of 50 per cent. of the cost of the coin - Plated line. And needed addition to the service charge also was as- sumed and loans for wiring made fritters. $2.50 Per. Kilowatt Hour By the Nova Scotia Rural Elec- trification Act, domestic service charges over $1.25 were bonused and the Provincial Treasury paid extra costs in servicing any dis- trict where there were three customers per mile and a potential of six customers. Rates in Nova. Scotia were "par- ticularly good." In Ontario the cost for a small farts was about $2.80 a kilowatt hour. In Nova Scotia the small farm could get the same service for $2.50. Making Probe Of Marketing Farm Problems Are Under Sur- vey at Ottawa in Prepara- tion for the Coming Season of Parliament Canadian agricultural marketing problems are now being specially studied by leading officials of the Dominion Agricultural Department at the request of Hon. James G. Gardiner, Minister. After Mr. Gardiner receives the report of his officials he will consider whether a general marketing act is to be in- troduced at the coming session of Parliament. While it was ruled ultra vires of the Federal Parliament by the Privy Council, the Natural Pro- ducts Marketing Act is still on the Dominion statute books. Livestock a Problem One agricultural marketing prob- lem which is engaging the special attention of departmental officials is that with regard to livestock about which there has been so much talk in recent years. The problem is of special interest to the Prairie Provinces, as well as On- tario. A. rabbit which chases a dog is • owned by Jack Harris, of Elstow, Sask. When Sandy, a Scotch ter- rier owned by Dave Doney, tree - passes the rabbit goes after hiin and Sandy doesn't stop to argue, Germany now 'leads the word in the number of bicycle" owneis, there being 15,000,000, while Brit- ain has 10,000,000, France 7,500,- 000, Japan 6,000,000, and Italy 4,000,000.
