In those circles in Hollywood and -qew York where party games are the thing it is cus- tomary for a host to pose prob- lematical questions. Some of these "party questions" were seriously presented to groups of. college students and their answers used as a basis for all sorts of theses. You've all heard at least some of these famous questions. What are your answers? You are in a boat. Suddenly the boat starts to sink, You can save one member—mother, wife, son or daughter. Whom will you save? Among the thousands of college students asked the odds were 21/2 to 1 they'd save their wife. If you were lost in a forest and must discard all but one article would youkeep matches, knife, compass or axe? The odds were 5 to 4 on the matches. Now you are ,in a concentration camp and may have one item of comfort: tobacco, book, vic- • trola and one record, or harmoni- ca. Which would you choose? Seven to 1 chose tobacco (the stu- dents thought the otheritems would quickly pall if used again and again). •, I Now you are captain of a big - ship sinking in /nid-ocean. You have to decide who will get the last seat in the last lifeboat: a famous poet, a crippled hero of the war, a prominent athlete, or a statesman. They chose the ath- lete 6 to 1 because he would be more able to lend a hand at the oars. You are about to climb a haz- ardous range of mountains and may take only one type of food: chocolate, raisins, sardines or hardtack. Which do you want? Students chose hardtack 12 to 1 because they knew their chem- istry. It contains the most food value. You are marooned on a desert island, not with Dorothy Lamour or Lana Turner, but you are al- lowed to choose on companion: a carpenter, hunter, doctor or pro- fessor. Two to one for the doc- tor. Not only would he be use- ful, they thought, but also be, a stimulating companion. WHAT FORE?

God Revealed In Christ John 1: 14 - 23, 29 - 36 Memory Selection: These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the 'Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye Might have life through his new. John 20:21 Our studies about Christ for this year are from the Gospel of John. Of all the books of the Bible, this is the one which has been printed and distributed most widely. Many people have real- ized their need and been led to the Saviour as they have read its wondrous truths. It inspires the hearts and 'feeds Minds of devout Christians and appeals forcefully to sincere seekers after truth. It accomplishes well its purpose as stated in the memory verse. The pre-existence and deity of Christ are clearly set forth. Most of the world acknow- ledges Jesus as a. great teacher. But John goes much farther than that. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.—And the Word was made fiesh, and dwelt among 'Ili." Matthew writing especially for the Jewe traces the lineage of Jesus -from Abraham. the father of the Jewish nation. 1 Luke in his ap- appeal. to the Gentile world traces the lineage back to Adam. But John gives the Divine side. The Christ existed with God be- fore Abraham and before Adam, "All things were made by Hiin." No wonder John the Baptist acknowledges Jesus as of high rank, No wonder that when John saw Jesus coming to him he said, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." Only as we grasp the truth that Jesus was The Son of God, an we believe the record of His rniacles and believe on lititn, Par thco forgiveness of our sins and the cleansing of our native. If he were not the Son i aod th. whole world would be lost or there would be no way back to God. "l3ut as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become 'the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." If you have received this power then you know that Jesus is the Son of God, Electric "Hot.Foots" Until now, we had doubted that English economist's predic- tion there would be no depres- sion here as long as Americans' fantastic appetite for gadgets en- dures.

Seagrave, American medical missionary, as he probed and felt the patient tn front of him. The man was in an advanced stage of -tuberculosis with sinking heart,. Seagrave pronounced the case hopeless. It was one of his first cases in that jungle country; and he feet that as he could do nothing for the man native confidence in his • powers would vanish. The fellow died, as he hat pre - dieted, but instantly the people regaeded him as a great prophet! For death holds no terrors for these people who believe in rein- carnation. When he first went out to Bur ma, Seagrave used to issue pamphlets on religion to his patients and, to his pleasure and astonishment, they always came back for more. "We're doing fine," he told his wife. "In no time we'll have thousands of converts!" But disillusionment came quickly when he discovered that the natives wanted the paper to roll .the enormous cheroots in— that even women and children smoked. Doctor Seagrave is one of the finest friends the Burmese have. He went to Burma in 1922, a year after graduating, and for a time dreaded every new operation he had to undertake. Whenever one about which he knew nothing had to be performed, hp got out his medical books and. swotted it up. Then he would operate, ,and to his joy, and often aston- ishment, most of his patients recovered. A lucky break occurred when he was summoned to the Sawle, wa (Prince) of Chefang State— just over the border in -China —who, Seagrave was informed, was dying of malaria. He toiled through alniost im.penetable jun- gle for three days but arrived at the great man's bedside just as he was getting control of the fever. The worst was over, but, the doctor said nothing and gave him an injection of quinine. The prince recovered, Seagrave was regarded as 'having performed a miracle—and patients rolled in by the hundred! He had luck, too, with the Sawbwa of Manghsi who was suffering from dysentery; the young doctor obliged with a few injections, the prince recovered .--and another crowd of disciples promptly attached themselves to Seagrave. hospHaeswere primitive shacks, aiid his staff consisted 'Of his wife, a Karen doctor and a girl who had done a year's train- ing in Rangoon. So he had to train his own nurses. The first was a Shan, daughter of the chief torturer to the Sawbwa of Chef- ang, and the second, a Kachin girl, was given to him by a mis- sionary because she was so dull that she failed all her examin- ations. He had to teach the Shan girl in Shan, and she passed on her knowledge to the Kachin girl in Burmese! While operating, Seagrave had to speak in four languages — English, Burmese, . Shan and Kachin — for his helpers spoke different tongues. As at first he knew only English, matters were somewhat complicated. Also, there was no nursing textbook in any of the three languages; Seagrave had'to learn Burmese and write one in that. Ultimately, he w a s training muses who spoke ie twelve dif- ferent tongues. Often, when Seagrave W9.0 vaccinating Kachin children, ne would ask the father's 'name. The mother would then giggle, "Good gracious," she would ex- slaim, "I don't knoevi We change husbands so often that we can- not keep track." Once Seagrave heard two wo- men quarrelling in a bazaar: "You are not half as lovely as I am," jeered one, "you have only three husbands, while I have sev- en." Seagrave found all the tribes good-humoured, cheerful a n d tough. One nprning at Shama, a Kachin with a gastric ulcer came in to be examined, `I'm afraid," said Seagrave, "you need an operation. The man ripped off his shirt, pulled out a gigantic sword and placed it in the doctor's hand. Then, hopping 'on to the table, he declared cheerfully: "O.K., Doctor — go ahead!" Unlike Europeans, who desire above all things to recover from an operation, the Burmese don't seem to mind dying. Without the help of X-ray photographs, Seagrave's diagnoses were some- times hazy, and , when in doubt he used to say: .."My dear chap, you need an operation all, right, but I don't know how to do it You'd better run Ualong home and forget about it." But in a day or two the man would be back. "Doctor, I want you to operate." "But I don't know how, I tell you. I'in afraid you will die." "That doesn't matter. I won't blame you if I do." With such sanction, thesur- geon would operate, though somewhat reluctantly. Once, he opened a man's ab- ' domen and put in a rubber tube for draining. Later, when he looked at the man's wound, the tube had disappeared. "What are you looking for, Doctor?" asked the patient. "I'm looking for a rubber tube I stuck into you. It's lost," "Oh that. Well, it was hurting me, -so 1 pulled .it out and threw it away!" The man recovered; but when Seagrave went to look for the tube—he was so poor that he couldn't afford to lose it—he found it had been given to a baby as a dummy! Once, when he went to take the dressing off a hernia case, he found the man had already done so and plucked out the stitches 'with his finger -nails. When Soa- grave began upbraiding letint said in aggrieved tones: "Doctoe, it itched. I had to scratch it. didn't I?" Seagrave's experiences were certainly varied. One old fellow wild had been Operated on for a late abscess in the neck was so ill that the nurses could get noth- ing down his throat. All he crav- edfor was 'rotten fish and sour pickle, both great Burmese deli- cacies. "He's bound to die," .said Seagrave to his head nurse, "so go out and buy him some of the stuff." But after eating his fill the man began to get better — and, to everyone's astonishment recovered! In the course of time Seagrave became one of the finest sur- geons in all Asia. He trained a large band of nurses with such skill that they were able to per- form minor operations done only by doctors elsewhere.
