LESSON FOR JAN. llth, 1925 Lesson Title ---The Last Judgment. Lesson Passage—Matt. 25:31 -46 - Golden Text—Matt. 25:40. Throughout the gospel of Mat- thew, from the Sermon on the Mount to the Parable of the Talents, Christ is ever separating inen into two class- es, the good from the bad, the 7 e e• r' committed all judgment 1100 the Sint" He shell come apt only in the gloryat His Father but in His own glory,- es Mediator. 'Hie first com- ing was under a black eloud of ob- scurity; His awed corning will be in a bright cloud of glory. This glor- ious- person will have a glorious re - ti -nue for He will bring all His holy angels with bina. "Before Him shall be gathered all nations"—All must be euremoned be- fore Christ's tribunal. .In the days of His flesh He was arraigned as a prisoner at the bar; but at His second coming He will nit as judge upon the bench; and all of every age of the world, from the beginning to the end of time, shall appear before MITI to give an account of the deeds done in this life. Then shall there be a final separation, and "He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left." After bhis separation the case of each will be disposed of. The Shep- herd now becomes the King and pro- nounces sentence. Those on is right are not only acquitted, but re- warded. It is a rich reward—"the inheritance of a kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world." To this the saints of God are made Welcome. "Come ye blessed of my Father." The ground of this reward is stated by the judge to be works of charity to the poor which are evi- dences of faith in Him.

They turned- a deaf ear to all whe were in distress and needed help. They ware blind to the sorrow of the sick and suffering in this life and so Christ says to them, "bean:ma as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me." De- part from me, ye cursed, into ever- lasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels?! They served the devil while they lived, and therefore are justly sentenced to be where he is, as those that served Christ are taken to be with Him. where He is. Thus life and death, good and evil, the blessing and the curse are set be- fore us, that we may choose our way, and so shall our end be. (Condensed from Matthew Henry.) Free Pants.

He writes: "Missions are under a deep debt of gratitude to Gandhi for the prominence he gave to the teach- ings of Jesus. As a result quota- tions from the Bible are common in political meetings of Hindus, Sikhs and Mohammedans, and a new rever- ence for the Christ has fallen as a spell on India. The lawyers' club of Madras is composed of university graduates and some of the finest minds in Madras. Recently they had a big dinner, followed by an enter- tainment at which a Hindu jester took part. He jested about the Hin- du gods and their escapades and the audience laughed heartily. Then the jester began, to make fun of the Christ. Instantly there was silence, then hisses, and finally the audience rose as one man and kicked the jes- ter from the room. Yet there was not a single Christian in that aud- ience. They had no respect for their own gods, but they had for Je- sus. We have read a confidential letter from the best known travelling evangelist in India; he recounts scores of incidents to prove the changed attitude of India toward Jesus and the readiness with which the Christian message is neard where not long ago the bitterest opposition was. sure."

It is the colored man's country, and it is better for both races that it should remain such, according to R. St. Barbe Baker's article, "The A- wakening of Tropical Africa," ap- pearing in the English Review. The author, by the way, is late assistant conservator of Forests, Kenya Col- ony, and founder and chief of the African forest scouts. The future of Africa lies with the African, he tells us in this article, and this more particularly applies to the central and equatorial zone. He holds that the policy of the British government "must be very strongly opposed to any encouragement being given to projects which have for their object the creation of European -own- ed and managed plantations to replace agricultural industries which are al- ready in existence, or which are cap- able of being developed by the Afri- cans themselves." By this, he says, he does not wish to minimize the value of some of the larger economic wants created, or the good habits formed, under a conscientious Euro- pean employer, "why every British homestead should not become a school, both mental and technical, with na- tural benefit to the settler and his African employees." The record of government service in Africa has not been without its faults, concedes Mr. Baker, and some- times the government "has been un- wise and ineffective." Colonial gov- ernments suffer from lack of imag- ination, and though they do not wil- fully inflict wrong, the harm perpe- trated "is merely the result of ignor- ance of local conditions." Continu- ing Mr. Baker writes in part:_ Africa is at last awakening from an age -long inertia, and there is a slow but sure movement in which one can already recognize the beginnings of a race consciousness amongst mil- lions of people who have up until now been regarded as the most backward races of mankind. It is a fact that these peoples—cut off from the rest of the world ----have evolved a social System and moral code which are more or less suited to their require- ments. The tendency with us has been to regard them all as Cavages because their attitude towards life has differed from our own. All this has been accomplished so quickly that we have not had time to get to know the African point of view and just as we were flattering our- selves that with our advent inter- tribal warfare 'had vanished, the Eur- opean war obtruded itself into the heart of Africa and showed the Afri- cans that what they had before re- garded as war was, in comparison, merely Child's play. If we stop to think seriously, and take the war fac- tor into consideration, we shall find it difficult to decide whether from the African point of view the advantages of our presence shave up to the pres- ent outweighed the disadvantages It fs difficult 'to estimate the damage to European prestige as the result of the last war in whieh many thousands of Africans vrete hurled wainst each flier apparently without rhyme or reason, Iff the war had to be, so far as Europe was noncerted, by all possible twins it eshotad have been kept out of •Afrida; however, what has happened leen hapPened; tutdv0 -must eollae;• CO Ce nine Med 4t,t1- diaturbing ohangethe One *IV ,tnInet" tho*iee ta f� - CheliY 1,1 '111111'1 11* 11i,1Y4 • t111111, 1 1.404 0.11,1AK , 111', . etottle ogapagna reek et, 4 net eine •- Ararat; mere,' 'tellabP,W-Voth Xlitnhell,4tOastavie,— "I .bc.vc tF004, . tlya §g4a yohr znediOnsie for a number ofyars. tar•Weithor0 ,Pet everytin t funee d° 4) ali 11t:ArlighglieotitadY. trw taht flu—there p1rs •ellot 1113,1"0"nelen it inthelselleee I teok it firet forRnInr• aet its feet agonu the archated pa a, iXL the abdomen and 13,earizzg-down Pain, Of Peace and induatial.

WEMBLEf HAS JUSTIFIED ITSELF With the closing of Wembley exhi- bition, a special correspondent of the Times (London), remarks that with the falling of the curtain "on this great exhibition, no one is likely to dispute the justice of speaking of it as 'great.'" In the opinion of the Times writer, it was no mere matter of the acreage it covered,, of the costliness of its installation, the magnificence of its buildings, or the fact that more than 17,000,000 people passed through the gates in the course of six 'months. Much more was the significance of the enterprise "as a demonstiation of the 'immens- ity, the variety: and the unity of the empire." This English writer continues in part:— Other great exhibitions in the past have been open to all nations. Each was called a "World Exhibition" or an "Exposition •Universelle"; but at Wembley no help was asked, no co- operation accepted, frorn outside. The resources of the empire alone prov- ed sufficient for the organization and staging of an exhibition infinitely greater and more varied than the world has yet seen. The impression of the might andmajesty of the em- pire -.which has been created in the minds of visitors froen foreign coun- tries, we know from overwhelming evidence, has been profound, In mil- lions of the people of Great Britain the revelation of what the empire stands for cannot have failed to ere - ate a cailekening of pride and a larger patriotism.

Out of the present pot pourri there is arising a western sentiment, a pan - prairie school of thought which is definitely moving toward a western political party, according to the anal- ysis of T. Wayling. Writing in the Financial Post of political influences working against Canadian unity, the former Winnipeg newspaper man, se- cretary to T. C. Crerar, and for sev- eral years active in the political man- oeuvres of the Progressives, evolves the conviction that the trend of be lief in economics and polities has brought about a feeling, within the Dominion, that East and West can never again be truly united on a na- tional policy. Even the more conservative of the Western leaders, the safe and sane element that tepeefacts and flaunts no fancies. say that the East is out of tune with the West, and that East- ern politicians have made wrack of the ideals ofnconfederation, have fid- dled while confederation smoldered. Take the foremost issues under con- sideration in public life: the tariff, the banking system, transportation problems, immigration and eoloniza- tion, the development of national re- sources. There is a divergency of opinion as between East and West that is almost beyond compromise. The best element in public life, both East and West, has tried,repeatedly to bring about a better understand- ing, but it looks as though their work has been in vain. In all seriousness, there is to be a definite move in the West for the abolition of old party lines as such and the creation of a Western party; pledged to Western ideas and ideals, and having as its object the realiza- tion of Western aspirations Each of the three Western province e used to be a hotbed of Party polities, The Roblin -Rogers Conservative . regime in Manitoba, the Liberal -Tory fights in Alberta, the Liberal stronghold in Saskatchewan, were all active dem- onstrations of the old party epirit. To -day the Liberal and Tory parties in the Western provinces are but the shadow of their former selves. The Progressive movement was a coalesc- ence of the more forward-looking ele- ments of both. Will Mr. King be successful in winning Progressive support? It is not generally believed that he will. The West will give no mandate to any. party, not even the Progressive party. !Mr. King may point to his tariff reductions and promise more; Mr. Meighen may scoff at the „sincer- ity of tariff reform a la Liberal; but only as Mr. King implements bis promises, only as Mr. Meighen offers something better, will the West be convincd. The West has admiration for Mr. Meighen, as a man of courage and ability; but it is an admiration that Pygmalion's friends had for his sta- tue Galatea: it will never be Pagrna- lian's love. The West will admire Mr. Meighen; it will never love him; and Mr. Meigben typifiee the Con- senvative party. Premier King has made no secret of his comiship of the West. He has, toured the West repektedly, he has, made concessions to Western public, opinien; he hastaken advice---sto far as -he foinidIneaselfble—froto.West- erre leaders. :bit he still falls ,ehort. of whit the West Seeks in, the Way of cerattruetive policy and sttesman- shi - -• • The tariff is a compelling factor la Weaterft • volititft- ' Eastern ,•,.
