TIIE FATHER'S HOUSE, John 14: 1-6. Direormorms--Our hope for the future life rests on the fact of the Resurrection of Christ, which is as- sumed throughout the New Testament as the foundation on which the Chris• tian church rests, There are differ- ences in the several narratives of the gospels, but these d) not invalidate the main account. I. THE vim OF THE wOMSN, Luke 24: 1-12. V. 1. The evidence of the resurrec- tion beigns esurrec-tionbeigns with the visit of the women very early on the first day of the week. They had no idea that Jesus had risen, but were come to pay the last respects to their beloved Master. ' V. '2. Different places have been de- scribed as the scene of this great act. Most think it occurred in what is now the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but many prefer the site of Gordon's Cal- vary, with the garden near by. Here there was a rock -hewn tomb, where. the stone would be rolled up against the opening, ` Evidently the women were wondering how they could re- move this. V, 4. The angels which are men- tioned in all the accounts are here said to have the appearance of mets. There is ameasure of rebuke in these words to'the women, as if they should have remembered the express promise of Jesus that lie would rise en the third day. V. 6. In the other gospels reference is made to the appearance in Galilee, Mark 14: 28; but in Luke reference ismade in 'this verse to the words spoken of his resurrection during his earlier ministry in Galilee (see Luke 9:22), V. 9. We must read John 20: 2 and Matt. 18: -8, from which passage we learn that Mary Magdalene had run -from the sepulchre to tell Peter and John of the removal of the stone, so that she had not seen the angels then. 'The silence mentioned in Mark 16: 8, may be explained by the fact that while Mary told. the apostles, the others were nt fist so overcome with fear that they did not mention it at that time. Afterwards, however, they :spoke of it. V. 10. In' the other gospels these wtanies are placed at the beginning of the account They all put Mary Mad- •dalene first, John mentions no other ,directly, but implies the presence of others, John 20: 2. The three synop- -tists mention Mary the mother of .Jesus. V. 11. In all gospels the report is received with doubt. There is no evi- dence that the disciples were in an 'expectant mood. .If they recalled the swords of Jesus about'hia resurrection, they likely applied these to his return afterwards in : glory.. They did not -think of his dead body coming back 'fro mthe grave. V. 12, This is described more fully 3n John 20: 2-9. The position of the -clothing is evidence of the way in which the resurrection took place. The 'physical body was transformed into a rsp'dritual body, and the linen clothes ,dropped demon on the stone. II. THE FATHER'S HOUSE, John 14: 1-6. V. 1. Few passages in the New 'Testament ar : more widely known, or have brought more comfort -than this .chapter. The minds of the disciples are greatly disturbed over the impend- ing departure of Jesus, and they can - mot see any way out of their diffl- •culties. This passage consists of an- -swersgiven to ,the several gtieations put by the disciples, and all of these :bear upon the statement of Jesus' that 'he is about to leave them. He gives them the assuring statement that he'. 4s going to his Father'b house, but only that he may make ready for their ar- rival when the time comes: The one: duty of the disciples is to have faith in the Lord. V. 2. Heaven is here described, -s the abode of God the Father, where he is seen in all his perfection. Jesus Chad to use earthly figures to describe this place, and he likens it to a great -royal palace, where there are many different rooms. There will be a place for all in that heavenly home. It is p'asible that the word mansion may 'be translated "stations,' as if' there were many places where the heavenly 'pilgrims may stop for a while, The two ideas of test and progress are in- cluded. Jesus also tells them that they 'should trust him enough to know that •in a natter of such grave importance he could not deceive thein. If it were :not so, he would have told them. V. 3. This departure is no calamity, since it is the condition of his return in greater power. The promise of 'Christ's return is thus definitely in- .eluded in this gospel, Here John is .atone with all the New Testament writers, in making mention of the sec- -ond advent of Jesus. But this passage also includes the return of Jesus in 'his spiritual presence to all believers. He will always be with his discipples. 'The resurrection Was the spiritual re- turn of Christ to the church. V. 4. Jesus things that they should 'have known more than they seem to 'know. However dark their minds were, yet they should have some idea of the kind of life Jesus had lived, and of the kind of place to which such a one would go. Had he not taught them of the Father's all -sufficient love? Ditiine light and love must prevail in the abode of Christ, V. G. Thomas, the doubter, expresses the hesitation which was likely in the minds of all the disciples. Ile feels that Jesus is slipping away, and that they were not to see him any more, If only they could know the road by which he was going ,then, they might follow on patiently, hoping spine day to arrive at the seine goal, Y. 6, Jesus definitely states in v, 7, that they should have known Mm bet, ter, However, ho answers the quem, tion by givingone of the greatest sentences in alour Christian faith, "1 ant tho way, the truth, and the life." He is the true, living way. He is the only road by whieli pilgrims may come to the Father's house. "To konw Christ is to know all, to know both the goal and the way" China's Navy to Expand President Chiang, at Launch- ing, Advances Cruiser Program Shanghai -President Chiang Kai- shek recently visited Shanghai to at- tend the launching of a new Chinese gunboat at the Giangnan dockyards, the same government dockyards that, strangely enough, not long ago com- pleted several gunboats for the -United States Navy to operate on our Yangtze River patrol, In his address at the launching President Chiang spoke of the import- ance of increasing the Chinese Navy, and said he intended to do all in his power to get the government to pass appropriations for a large cruiser- building program. The Chinese press came out with long' stories on the President's support of a "big navy" program. The Chinese Navy long has been something ofa sore point with patri- otic Chinese, It actually does not amount to .much as it stands to -day, they are forced to admit. It is also a fact that"not a single vital engage- ment at sea took pIOte during the entire revolution, and no military commander was at any time definitely sure of where the naval ofitcers•stood. ' There are at present four squadrons or divisions in the Chinese Navy, ac- cording to an official report made by the Navy Department in the Ministry of War, submittd during the recent disbandmentconferenceat Nanking. The ships in the first total twelve under Vice Admiral Chen dhih-lang,. The tabulation does not designate what, class of ships make up each squadron, but it may be presumed most of them are of the small gun- able type, with a few ships compar- able to American destroyers, but much older and in many cases,obsoite and virtually useless .except 'against mer- chantmen or for anti -pirate work. Vice Admirable Chen Shao-kwan is the commanding officer of tho•Second Squadron, which lists twenty ships, and Vice -Admiral Tseng Yitink of the Third with eleven ships: For three, ships in the Fourth (training) Squa- dron nocommanding oflieer is stated.

English Dif idence Truth ' (London) : A favorite pas- time of Englishmen is fouling' their own nest and depreciating their own achievements. This is an amiable weakness, but it •can be carried too far. Self -disparagement, like self- praiee, is no recommendation, and when we consider hnw important na- ttonal prestige Is in this world of self - advertisement it becomes a positive menace. This peculiar characteristic of ours was in evidence even during the war, in striking contradistinction to the incessant self -glorification of those who fought with us, so that when the dust and the heat of the conflict passed away our contribution to the common effort was, to put it mildly, inperil of being underesti- mated. •.,, ALWAYS BLUE 1st Fish: What a lugubrious leek.

Government Aids Clubs Sixteen flying clubs have been form- ed between coast and coast, with a total membership of 2,400. To each club the government grants two ma- chines. When the club has at least thirty members they provide a field, an instructor and maintenance and agree to; put up a bond for the equip- ni:ent. Each year the government will give one additional plane to the club if they provide themselves with an- other. De Havillend Moths, assem- bled in .Toronto, are the type of planes chosen. In addition, the government grants $100 for eaoh member who qualifies for a private pilot; 140 private pilot licenses have beenoiseued;and twenty- eight commerciallicenses to mem- bers of clubs. The. Toronto Flying Club leads the Dominion with 1,203 flying hours and a membership of more than 250. Winnipeg comes sec- ond with 1,003 hours and Montreal third with 946.

Fair Players Want More Pep London Women Forsake Bridge for Speedier Game of Poker London—Poker playing is becoming more popular among English society women. Many clubs where poker is played for high stalfee have sprung up during the past few months ,and th emajority of the members are women. Play is continuous from early afternoon un- til the small hours, and a large num- ber of women, after cashing in at day break, return to resume the game in the afternoon. At some of the clubs players may have light meals served them at the tables so that their game may be uninterrupted. Subscriptions to these clubs are comparatively low. Membership fees range from about £ 1 to £10 a year, but refreshments and "extras" are costly. At night the gambling runs high, often as much as £250 being lost and won on a single poker hand. (l. S.

The people had appealed in vain for funds for the mueeum;'the Portuguese treasury had no money to spare.

On one former occasion Madeira' was provided for a brief period with. stamps of her own; this was at the time of the Vasco da Gama fourth centenary celebration is 1898. Stamps of that transient issue are said to be highly prized by col lectors.

It has even been 'proposed that the government enter into the tourist business by con- structing its own camps for anglers in its own reservations. The Ferguson highway, which three years ago opened the new north to the motorist, has lured the visitors from below the border further and further north. Other highways are now being out into the lake land. Quebec Is using its entire revenue from liquor sale to extend its network of paved roads. It is not only con- structing highways. A. comprehen- sive system of tree planting Is being followed along the road system. Eventually the roads will be known by the trees. There will be maple highways, cherry highways, ironwood highways cedar roads, balsam roads and red pine roads. Then the whole system of little town hotels is being overhauled. Gov- ernment chefs are traveling over the province instructing the owners on how to prepare really attractive meals. A stricter system of licensing has been adopted to bring the country Inns up to an attractive standard. Statue of a Pharaoh in a Wig Reported Found by Austrians Vienna.—The Austrian archaeologi- cal rchaeological expedition to Lower Egypt reports that it has found near Luxor the grave of a sixth dynasty ruler who wore a wig. At least a statue of the old Pharaoh, who bore the name of Sche- schemnefer, shows him adorned ,with false hair, something previously un- known among Egyptions of that per- iod. The figure was one of four which, in pairs, flanked the massivo sarcopha- gus. Near each statue, the archae- ologists report, there were three obelisks.

The papers complain that, even with the establishment of the Nationalist government and so-called recognition of the people's rights, they are -still unable to print the news uncurbed. in an effort to break down title long established censorship, publishers, es• pecially those is Shanghai, have form- ed an association with the epecldc purpose of forcing the Nanking gov- ernment to discard til' last vestige of censorship. For years Chinese newspapera have managed to exist in spite of a eonttnu. ally changing governmental authority, each keen to prevent the publication of news that might prove harmful to its shortilved regime. Prior to the coming of the National- ists Chinese dailies were forbodden to print news of political developments or to editorialize on governmental changes taking place. As a result the dailies for a time were reduced to printing trivialities.
