In 1930, for in- stance, 1,146,781 male drivers parti- cipated hi accidents as against but 81,036 women. That figure looks bad for the man, but no figure that looks so bad could be truly reflective of conditions. There are, in extenuation, so to speak, three times as many men as women drivers. Accordingly, in- stead of being about eleven times as unsafe as women—as the first figure superficially indicates — men are roughly only three and two-thirds as prolific in causing accidents. That, of course, is putting it on a man -to - woman basis. The great part of driving done in this country is the commuting type. The majority of accidents happen during the rush hours of the morn- ing and evening. There are women drivers on the stf eets at these hours, it is true, but not in the proportion of oue to three, which would have to be the case were the safety figures to show ac- curately which sex was the more proficient in driving. From the fatal -accident view- point, "the worst hour of the twenty- four in any clay is that between 7 and 8 p.m.," says Mr. Ullman, con- tinuing: That is the hour during which the nation is going to the movies.

The first to recognize that Jesus Sun Yat-sen and the "Martyr" designs, was something more than a village carpenter was John, the young preach the former bearing the portrait of the er beyond Jordan.

"Christ" would be more generally understood by his cosmopolitan readers than the Hebrew "Messiah." "Nor am I Elias." (Elijah was expected to return as the herald of Messiah, Mal. 4: 5.) "Nor that prophet" (Moses, Dent. 18: 15). "You want to know who I am? What matters it who I am? Say, I am 'a voice'." God's greatest and most use- ful servants in his church are those who are so filled with his spirit that they have attained perfect self-efface- ment. "What matters it whether I have a position of prominence or not so long as my Lord's work will go on?" A spirit like that would straighten many a pathway for God in his church.

It produces or did throughout the year 1930, according to one set of figures, a total of 152,851 accidents. Sunday is the day of the family out- ing in the car. Who drives the car on this outing, the man or woman? Over a long period of years, in a sketchy sort of way, "the writer has counted Sunday drivers in various parts of the country with a view to determining the proportion of women men drivers." Here are the results. His figures in"dicate that it is something like twenty to one in favor of the men. Male drivers can even take the offensive with regard to this aspect of the argument. There is Friday, for instance, that famous day of ir- resistible bargains which draws wo- men drivers into the congested 'area on the greatest scale of the week. And, what happens? Why, exactly the sante thing, comparatively, that occurs to men on Sundays—the ic- cident rate grows. An offense which ranks well up in the list of accident causes is failing to give 'signals.

THE HERALD'S TESTIMONY RECEIVED, 1: 35-39. The Baptist repeated his testimony in the presence of his two disciples, v. 35. "Here is the New Master, I -give way to him." In proclaiming the truth concerning Jesus, he was ruin- ing his own prospects as a leader. It is the man, who will sacrifice his own interests for God and right who is always turning others to God, v. 37. The parting (v. 37) would not be wit"out its sadness, but the finest loy- alty to truth is that which impels us to follow a higher truth when we see it. These two men did not know de- finitely what they sought—but they \'ere obeying the impulse of the best that was in them. To all such, Christ reaches out his hand, V. 38. Fifty years were not nough to dim the me- mory of that hour when they "found" him. It was four in the afternoon, v. 39. III. INTRODUCING JESUS, 1: 40-51. It is impossible really to know Christ ant not want to share him. The Christian who is indifferent to mis sions is the victim of a mistaken iden tity—he has not yet discovered the real Christ.
