THE CHRISTIAN'S HOPE: Matt, 26:$1.40; John 14:1.6; 2 Cor. 0:1.10; 2 Tim. 4:6.8; I Peter 1':$•9; Rev, 22;1.5, PRINTED TEXT - John 14:1-6; Rev, 22:1.5. GOLDEN. TEXT—In My Father's house are many mansions. John 14:2. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time—The passage taken from Matthew belongs to a discourse spoken on Tuesday oS .Passion Week,April 4, A.D. 00; the one taken from John's Gospel was spoken on Thursday night of the tame week. The Second Epistle of Paul to the Church at Corinth was written about A.D. 69 or 60, while his Second Epistle to Timothy wan written at the very end of his life, A.D. 66 or 66. The First Epistle of Peter was written about A.D. 60; the book of Revelation, A.D. 95, Place—The two discourses of Christ here used were uttered in. Jerusalem. Paul wrote the Second Bpistle to the Corinthians from Ephesus, and the Second Epistle of Timothy from Rome, We do not know from whet city Peter wrote his First Epistle; all we know about the book of Revelation, as far as geography is concerned, is that the visions were received on the Island of Fatmes. 1. "Let not your heart be traulb- led': believe in God, believe also in me." The Lord comforts the deeciples with the sure hope that, though Re must leave them, He and they shall meet again and He intimates that He is the personal revelation of the Father. 2, "In my Father's house are many mansions; if It were not so, I would have told you." There axe many mansions or dwelling places, there is room enough for all. Chriet, in His fairnies, would not have invited them to a place in which there was not room for all. "For I go to prepare a place for you." This le a beautiful way for our Lord to speak of His exodus from this world. 8. "And if I go and prepare a glace for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I ant, there ye may be also." Just as Christ came down from glory once to do a epecific work, He will come again to do another specific work. He wants us to be with Him because He loves us. 4. "And whither I go, ye know the way. 6. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not l'7h1ther thou goest; how know we the way?' Jesus goes, by the way in which He lived, a kind of life un- mistakably pointing towards God as source and goal. We .conJecture whea'e a man is going by the life he lives. 6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am tlbe way and the truth, and the life." 191e way is a recognized name for Christianity. To know the truth is also to know the way to Cod. He is the life, being one with the living Father and being sent by Him. To know the life is to know the way to God. "No one Cometh unto the ;4ather, but by - rug, The Apostle Paul constantly eanphasizes the truth that we have access to the Father only through. the Lord Jesus Christ, 1. "And he showed me a river of water of Life bright as oryatal, Proceeding out of the throne of Cod and at the Lamb. 2. in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manna of fruits, yielding Ito fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." The river of water of life is a beautiful sym- bol of life in its gladness, purity and activity, ever flowing through the heavenly city. As the water of the river is called the water of life, so the tree here seen with its twelve fruits is called the tree, of - lite, which of course reminds us 0f the Garden of Eden. 2. "And there shall be no curse nay more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and His servants shall serve IIim; 4. and they shall see Isis face; and Ills name shall he on their foreheads. 5. .And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and' they shall reign for- - and ever," Four things are said hereabout the children .o6 G ed in their heavenly home: they will serve the Lamb they will be- hold His face, His name will be on their foreheads, and they shall reign forever and ever. What does the text mean, that we shall reign ferever and ever? The whole uni- verse; is under the sovereign con- trel•of God; We Bayo already seep. that the earth will be peopled with nations receiving blessing ' front Jreeven. May this sat refer, then, ' 60 our positions of authority over different parts of the Kingdom of God, corresponding to the words of .. ear Lord, when to the faithful the promise' is, matte. 'Web done, good and faithful servant: thouhaat been faithful over a few things, f will set thee over ninny tbinge; enter thou into the, joy Of the Lord." First Down In First Snow (Photo: Can. Nat'l Rys.) INinthe first snow of the season at St. Sauveur, noted winter sports center the heart of the Lyirentian Mountain district of Quebec, no skiier is any too sure on her—or his—feet as witness the plight of the pretty young American visitor pictured above. However, it's lots of fun for everybody when the snows come to St. Sauveur, home of famous ski Hill 70, which is annually host to thousands of United States, winter sports fans. Victory Army Told To Become Active Europe's "V for Victory" atony, which has been estimated et 290,- 000,000, was told by "Col. Brit- ton," radio originator of the cam- paign, to harass the Nazis, to switch from passive to active re- sistance in the German-occupied countries. The time has come, he said over the BBC, for the army to form in small platoons to "help each ether." He also urged that factory workers lose their tools and that office workers muddle and mis- calculate. "The slower you work the quicker you'll win," he said. Not By A Little Thing Like That Ellen Fletcher, 108, believed to be the oldest woman in Britain, died in Croydon Infirmary re- cently. She outlived all her relatives and until three years ago drank a glass of beer daily. Wrinkled and jovial, she always maintained a sense of humor. When a bomb struck the infirm- ary last winter, she remained calm, and, as she was led away over the bomb debris, quipped: "Napoleon couldn't frighten my mother and this young fellow Hitler isn't going to frighten mel" I w By William. +°s "LJ9��oiA O LD Ferguson at NINETY PER CENT OP THE TOTAL SALES OF FURS IN THE UN[TED STATES ARE MADE LINDER O1I4Ei2 NAMES THAN THE TRUE NAMES OF THE FUR.

It is one of a pair: of •giant suns, and ' s discovery is the result of a 38 -year search, begun in 1899 by the late Professor Edwin Brant Frost,. former director of Yerkes Observatory, and completed through the 'nllaboration of three University of Chicago astronomers., srE7b.Ti is ti -ere a special "brain fdod"? How Many Know Strength of Navy? Some interesting Naval Data Given by the St.. Themes Times -Journal •r'• The Royal Navy is doing a lob that is one of the .wonders of the world because it has to over al- most the entire seven seas with vastly less support than it had in the 'last war, This success is largely due to the, greater, use of types of small 'craft which were net employed during 1914.18, par - Ocularly the corvette,, and fast, Powerful moth: and tither mosgtifto boats :doing, petrol work. There are hundreds' of st uli ships which enjoy' the dignity of being vain - fable units oft His Majesty's Royal Navy. Great Britain started off the pre- sent war with a serious Inferior- ity in capital ships compared with the First Great War. In 1914 the, was assisted by the navies of France, Russia, Japan, and in April 1916, Italy joined in. In April 1917 the United States was addedto the naval forces of the Allies. The French navy : dropped out of the present war in June last year, and about' the same time Italy was added against us. On the other hand G020100y also began the war with less power than in 1914. Comparative Losses The following 'table shows how small have been the losses of the Royal Navy daring the first two years of this war compared with the last one: 1914.1918 .1939-1941 Battleships ' 10 1 Battle cruisers 8 1 Aircraft carriers None in use 1 Cruisers 17 9 Destroyers 24 63 Submarines 24 29 The heavy losses in 1914.18 chiefly occurred in the battles of Coroner and Jutland and during the attempts to force the Dar- danelles. Mines also accounted for a good many, including the brand new battleship Audacious in the Irish Sea. Britain's loss of 63 destroyers this time is offset, however, by the 50 old destroyers traded with the United States for naval bases. And on this occasion Canada is making a wonderful contribution with around 250 ships. The . num- - ber is being added to weekly. Sam's Going Back To Hill Country Sam Cleland, 77 -year-old pros- pector who drifted into Wells, B.O. not long ago, after 12 years of solitude in the hills of what he palls "Moteatain Goat" country, decided after getting an earful of the war news that he wouldn't stay here any longer than neces- sary. "I'm going back to the hills where I belong," he said. "Next time I come out, I may stay out, but not now, not now," Cleland, who was wounded at Vimy Ridge in the First Great War and homesteaded in the Peace River country before taking to prospecting in the interior hills of British Columbia, said he couldn't believe Britain and Germany were at war again. "We licked those fellows years ago and you can't tell me they are looking for more," declared Cleland, who said he hadn't seen •a fellow human since 1932. Can Write On It Or Dress In It The Germans also have their campaign for economy in. the use of paper, only they but in on rather different grounds from the British. Their slogan is one that comes near to the heart. It is in effect "Paper os' Clothes?" As the. "Zeitschrift fur offentliche Wirts- chaft" pats it: "Cellulose, the basis of paper production, only •exists once, and we have the choice whe- ther to white on it or to dress in it, By economizing in the use of paper exeeybody. can help to decide whether with the next clothing ration -card he or she is to obtain an extra pair of atocings and ma- terial'foe another spring., dress or working suit" The point of course, is that the German civilian is now clothed mainly in synthetic fibres, and such luxuries as wool, cotton, flax, and silk rarely come his way. The .choice between wood pulp for paper and for clothes is a real one.
