(J'olin 15:5) One of the stupendous miracles of the New Testament is before us, A great multitude had followed the Lord into the wilderness; evening disciples- asked the multitude for themselves, a desert place” came on, and the the Lord to send away' to get food "for we are here in J*he, Lord’s answer amazed. the dis- How "but five liples: “Give ye them to eat.’ could they They had leaves and two fishes.” whs going to and teach Christian "about .five reveal His a practical discipleship, thousand The Lord Ifor Moses, and one for Elias.” The Inspired record adds, “not kmiowiiig what he skid.” God would never permit His Son to be honored mere­ ly as though ho were on an equally with Moses and Elijah, A cloud overshadowed them all, and then a voice came out of the cloud, "This Is My Beloved Son, hear Him.” The disciples had had a vision in­ deed—not a dream, not a trance, but an actual vision of literal facts, and the realization of the glory of the Lord and His unique deity. Unique because when the cloud lifted they saw no man, save Jesus only.” (Matt 17:8.) As they came down from the mountain they were confronted by tragic need, in a demon-possessed child. The dis'ciples had been un­ able to £ast out the demon but when the lad was brought to the Lord He "rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child and delivered again to his father,” It is good to read, later in New Testament that these powerless disciples became power-filled, be­ cause filled with the Holy Spirit and by faith 'in their Saviour and Lord, they top* were empowered to work great miracles. and him the The Lord deity again, lesson in There were men” in that multitu'de, told His .disciples to direct them to sit down in an orderly way, by groups oi’ companies of fifty each; and when this was done. “He took the five loaves and the two fishes, an'd looked “UP to heaven, He blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multi­ tude.” Every man there, and the women and children as well, had plenty to eat; they “were all filled” and the fragments of food that remained ’filled twelve baskets. The lessons from' this? First, the deity of Christ. Jesus of Nazareth was hot only truly man but also truly Cod, It does not matter how little we ' have, but whether we put that little wholly at the disposal of the Lord for Him to' bless and use as He will. He call do more with a widow’s mite freely given to I-Iim than with a millionaire’s riches selfishly with­ held. There is no' limit to what Christ can do with the little we give Him— provided we give Hm all we have. (Soon after this, Christ aslkied the disciples what the people were say­ ing about Him:—who I-Ie was? The answers jame: John the Baptist: Elijah; one of the old prophets ris­ en from the dead. Then the Lord turned the ques­ tion and asked the disciples plainly what they had to say Us to His iden­ tity. Peter, speaking for them all, answered: “The Christ of God.” That could mean only one thing, It was the great confession of Peter, 'of the disciples, of the Church of Christ that was to be. Yet, people sometimes' say that- Christ never asked for any confession of faith, never asked his followers to express any particular form of belief! Immediately foltowing the foun-1 raton-stone confession of His deity, He declared to them two other doc­ trines: His atoning death'1 and His bodily resurrection. “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected pf the elders and chief priests and scrilbes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.” How can some preachers and teachers gay, as they do, th'at Christ never taught any doctrine? But He had still another doctrine to .reveal to His disciples, a fourth in this one chapter. He said of Him­ self that the Son of mail ‘shall come in Hs own glory, and in His Father’s and of the holy angels.” So the Lords return, the second coming of Christ was plainly declared. Let us talkie this opportunity to study and teach, these four precious and vital doctrines: The The The The The phecy as He told His disciples that some of them standing there should “not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God”—'that is, till they should see the King coming in His glory. People sometimes say that Christ was mistaken in this state­ ment, for His sedond coming has not yet occurred. They, miss the plain record of the fulfillment of that pro­ phecy, given immediately after the verse in which it is made. .For we said that about eight days later the Lord took Peter and John and James up into a mountain. As He prayed before them, a miracu­ lous transfiguration took place be­ fore their eyes. “The fashion of His countenance was altered, and His raiment was white and glistening.” Matthew tells us that He “was transfigured before them; and His face did shine aS the sun, and His Jraiment was white as the Ight.” Not only that, but “there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias (Elijah).” These Old Testament prophets "appeared in glory, and talked with the Lord, 'd about what? They "spake of His decrease which He should ac- accomplish at Jerusalem,” That is, His departure, His exodus, His death It was not the derth which should be forced upon Him, but the death which He should accomplish. He was to lay down His life, that He might take it again: “No man takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My­ self. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.” (John 10:18.) Peter made one of his impulsive deity of Christ, death of Christ, resurrection of Christ, second coming of Christ. Lord made a thrilling pro- 50 YEARS AG^ AUTOMOTIVE RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT The statement is sometimes made that we are becoming a nation on wheels, and the lines of automobiles on highways and city streets lend a good deal of substance to the re­ mark, The extent to which the automo­ bile has claused the development of distributive and service agencies is not generally realized. There are approximately 15,000 retail estab­ lishments in Canada engaged prim­ arily in the automotive trade and, of course, there are a great many other places of business which carry automobile supplies or gasoline as a side line, Qt the 15,000 automo­ tive establishments, about 2,400 are automobile dealers, although • helm again there are sub-agencies of var­ ious! kinds which also deal in cars. There are about 5,500 filling stations, in the Dominion and 4,100 garages dealing1 in automobiles and gaosline. In addition, there are ap­ proximately 1,800 service garages or repair shops of various kinds. These i;eail automotive establish­ ments of all kinds gave employment to approximately 50,000 persons, including active proprietors as well as employees. ■ This information is taken from reports issued by the Internal Trade Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

The title of this was "Lady Nico­ tine” and it gave clearly and from good authority what makes' tobacco injurious. The presence of the drug called nicotine is the main danger, but there are also certain other vol­ atile oils in tobalcco that are injur­ ious. The dose of nicotine contain- 1 ed in two cigars would if taken in­ to the human system prove fata'l. co; also in times of critical illness, such as pneumonia and typhoid fev­ er, the chances of recovery are mu'ch greater when the patient is a non- smoker. The statistics of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Co. underrate that among 130,000 policy holders the death rate of non-smok­ ers was only 50 per cent, of the ex­ pected mortality while that of smok­ ers was 93 per cent, I The Lancet, the well-known med- j ical journal makes this announce­ ment; “Furfusal, the principle alde­ hyde whi'ch. we have found present in marked quantities in cigarette smoke, is stated to be about fifty times as poisonous as ordinary al­ cohol.

Only a certain percentage of this is; ample~ medi'eal testimony that "the absorbed into the body, much evap-' orates in combustion as the cigar is smolkted, much is absorbed by the se­ cretions of the mouth and ejected in spitting and much is,,inhaled in puf- fng. More is retained in the sys­ tem of the smoker where the smoke is inhaled as is frequently the case with cigarettes. The amount of poi­ son absorbed in the system through inhaling is accounted for by the large surface area of the lungs ap-. proximately 1500 square feet and by, the fact that the entire blood of the body passes over its surface. The habitual smoker soon finds that the desired effect of the nicotine is more quickly attained by inhaling that in this way he gets more his money if he inhales. Tnere are many instances of bitual smokers living to a hearty age, because the body has a wonder­ ful faculty of adapting itself to cir- ^umstarilces but we remember what a large’ ‘percentage ’ of young men ex­ amined for the army during the Great War were to have a “tobacco heart” where the lieart action had been weakened by the use of tobac- and for. ha- old iStrat'ford has eight cases of scar­ let fever and one of measles now under quarantine.
