Mark it 17.. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Timo.-The. Spring of A.D.38. Place. -0n the shore of the Sea of Galilee, not in from the city of Capernaum, Ministry of Teaching 1. "Now it came to pass, while the multiutde pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret • 2, and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and- were washing their nets. 3. And he entered into one -of the boats, which was Simons, and asked him to put out a little from the sand. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat." Here it vividly, pic- tures the eager crowds around Jesus. Three simple and yet mean- ingful lessons are to be drawn' from these sentences: in the first place, the common people longed to hear what Jesus had to say, and this, in itself, indicates that Christ had a message which was recognized by the hearts of or- dinary men as being something of extreme value, something they must hear. In the second place, Jesus has a great compassion for those hungering to hear the truth. There are many gifted men today, who must have •a church and a regular order of service, before they are able to open their mouths. Some would never think of preaching on street corners, or. in a shop, or in a hospital, or to soldiers in n camp. Jesus was glad always for the opportunity of talking about the great truths He came down from heaven to reveal. In the third place, we know that Christ had a way of commanding. Wherever He is, He is the Master. In whatever company, He is found as the Host. Whenever a problem arises, He is the One to whom everyone looks for solution. • Jesus' Command 4. "And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for draught. 5. .And Simon answered and said, "Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets." The order to go out into deeper water, and let down the nets there, was contrary to all rules of the craft. Night was the time and near the shore the spot, for catching fish. Peter ` might well have . said that he knew more about fishing than that. But he who truly calls Jesus Master will . not stop to argue or to remonstrate but will obey swiftly. Work done in simple obedience to . Christ needs no external success in order to be blessed and whatever. ^•omen of it we shall 'self -enfold its larger re- sults.' 6. "And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multi- tude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; 7. and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should dome and help them. And they calve, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink." Christ's com- mand, if trulyy carried out, will result in success. It will result In the success that Christ in-. tends. Furthermore, in the very place where we have failed is the place where Christ can make us succeed. Note carefully that Christ is interested in our physi- cal welfare, in the success of our 'business enterprises. Christ did not tell the disciples to forget the • fish and pay no attention to ma- terial things. He gave them probably, that day, after a night. of complete failure, the greatest catch of fish they had ever seen. 8. "But Simon Petery when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, aayrng, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, 0 Lord. 9. For he was amazed, and all. that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken." The exclamation of Simon Peter was wrung from a hart touched with a sense of humility, and his words did not express his thoughts. They were the cry of agonized humility, and only emphasized his own utter unworthiness. • 10. "And so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon, And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; front- henceforth thou shalt catch . men. 11: And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him,' Christ said, 'itt. effect, that • when sin is repented of, abhorred and eonfesse(l, it need not deter from - hit presence Or service.

British Made Boots For Russian Army Canada Backs New Process For Foods Large-scale experimental work and adaptation of commercial plants to the production of dehy- drated vegetables, which may be sent to the United Kingdom in the most useful and economical form, is being sponsored by the Dominion Government. Two plants in Nova Scotia, two in Ontario and one in British Columbia 'were understood to be preparing to instal the required equipment with federal assistance. S. American Street Widest In World Buenos Aires, which has the widest street in the world - the Avenida 9 de Julio, with a width sof 150 yards - is preparing a treasury bill issue of 50 million pesos to extend the construction of the avenue, says Pan-American Magazine. The new avenue, which has three lanes in each direction for different speeds of automo- biles in addition to sidewalks, safety zones and gardens, also has underground parking facilities. Misunderstanding • Whatever we may think about the B.B.C.'s decision to use North- ern voices in news announcing, it is certain that the South does not always understand what the North says, and vice -versa. The other day, a Southerner went into a Leeds hotel and asked for a room. After some delay they brought it to him in a glass. "Sorry, sir," 'said the staff, af- ter mutual bewilderment and ex- planation, "I thought you said a runt." Fact follows fancy, in the mat- ter of the Russian Array and its boots. In the lastwarthe rumor flew around Britain and through- out the world that Russian sol- diers had been seen traveling across Britain "with snow on their boots." This winter there is Russian snow on 3,000;000 pairs of British boots: Part of the emergency aid -to - Russia program, first deliveries of these boots were being, shipped within a week of the. Nazi invas- ion. Half -a -million pairs were sent immediately, and by the end of August 1,000;000 pairs had been shipped or loaded, Britain is fulfilling the whole Russian re- quest for 3,000,000 pairs. The boots are exactly the same as those worn by British soldiers, and, although taken immediately from the largo stocks built up in Great Britain, their shipment cre- ated no immediate shortage of supplies. .The capacity of the in- dustry is sufficient to meet any further reasonable requirements; in the last war no fewer than 112,000,000 pairs of all types of Service boots were made by Un- ited Kingdom manufacturers. Al- though full statistics of produc- tion in this war cannot be given, it is known that in one single week the industry produced 400,- 000 pairs. Camouflaged .

Corregidor Island Natural Fortress The island fortress that splits the entrance to Manila Harbor is about the size of Wake. Though it rises to heights of more than GQQ feet, it does not look like 'a fortress, for none of its defences can be seen either ' from the sea or sky. its whole area is cover- ed by a thick growth of trees planted carefully by Army engin- eers to form a camouflage. Even its small airport is hidden. Nevertheless, there are plenty of guns beneath that foliage, as Japanese raiding planes have dis- covered. Because the island itself is an extinst, volcano it is shot through with natural rock cham- bers that 'have been converted artificially into a vast under- grounu arsenal. Corregidor has its own supply of water obtained from hrIngs; but most of these are centered in a single zone, and subterranean cisterns are used to store reserve supplies, - There are no impregnable forts in the world today. But Gibral- tar, Malta, Singapore, and Corre- gidor are among the strongest. Corregidor may fall; but the Jap- anese will pay a heavy price be- fore they take it.
