wrote a book called "It Can't

things that seemed fantastic four
years ago are now actualities.

Then followed a brief conver-

Such was in part the script
which created a mild sensation
following a broadcast from CFRB
last week. Apparently some lis-
teners hearing the first part of
the minute and a half dramatic
spot didn't wait for the end. They
rushed to conclusions .and
also for their telephones . .
There is room for argument as to
whether or not such broadcasts
are good psychology. The incid-
ent however, revealed one inter-
esting point. That many people
ws'iere faced with' what they bes
sieved was a national emergency,
rushed to their telephones; they
did the very thing they had been
asked by Defense Authorities not
to do. In any real emergency it
would be imperative that civili-
ans leave all possible telephone
facilities for use by those organ-
izing the defense mechanism.
Most people agree that radio
humour is a much needed tonic
these days and offers welcome re-,
lief from the more serious side
of world news and discussion. One
radio comedian whose Sunday
evening variety half hour holds
a stellar place in entertainment
circles, has apparently issued a
disturbing statement. Fred Allen
has let it be known in radio circles
that he is contemplating leaving
the air for at least 6months and
a
is not prepared to y
e
will return.
In his own words Fred Allen
says . . . "I ani going to take a
rest. I've been in radio for eleven
years and now I'm going to sit
back and relax for a while" ..
To the average radio listener a
half hour variety show such as
Fred Allen presents every Sun-
day evening may sound a pretty
easy job, Just third- minutes of
entertainment once a week. but
it would be an eye opener to know
how many strenuous hours of
work go into the preparation of
such a programme. Each week
there must be new jokes, music,
dramatic incidents and the fram-
ing of programme styling to suit
guest stars. Such things are
'simply not just drawn out of a
flat. A half hour show of this
type represents at least tree and
•
sometimes up to five or six full
working days of writing and pre-
paration. Then come hours of
rehearsal. From one Sunday pro-
gramme to another it's a steady
grind into which r0uet be sand-
wiched many other personal ap-
pearance shows. It is rumoured
that Fred Allen may .,switch to
Hollywood for a while. Here's
hoping the lure of the screen will
not prevent his return to the air-
waves next fall. We need all the
goad cheer that's lrowsible these
otherwise drab wartinte days.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
'Plane.—.-A.pril, A.D. 30.
Place.—The esus Questions Peter
eC•
"So when they had broken their
fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,
Simon, son of John, lovest thou
.me more than these? He saith
unto him, yea, Lord; thou know -
est that I love thee. He saith
unto him, Feed my lambs." There
was a time, not many days be -
fort this, when Peter was boast-
ing
o the
ing of how loyal he was to
Lord Jesus, but all of his boastt-
ing proved vain and empty.
wants to know from Peter's own
ltsps rulywow cr lovs Peter the really
Lord and
Master.
Peter's Grief
"He saith to him again the
second time, Sinton, soli of John,
lovest thou nae? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that
1 love thee. He settle unto nim,
tend my sheep. He saith unto him
the third time, Simon, son of
John, lovest thou me? Peter was
grieved because he said unto hien
the third time, Lovest thou me?
And he said unto him, Lord, thou
knowest all things; thou knowest
that I love thee. Jesus saith
unto him, Feed my sheep."
The address of the Lord, thrice
repeated, recalls the filet words
addressed • to St. Peter when he
received the surname Cephas
(Peter). The three questions
could not but recall the three
denials; and the form of this last
question could not but vividly
bring back the thought of the
failure of personal devotion at the
moment of trial. So Peter waes
grieved not only that the ques-
tion
tion was put again, but that this
third that
the phrase was chang-
ed; that the question was, not
only put, once again, but at the
seems time put so as to raise a
'doubt whether he could indeed
rightly claim that modified love
which he had professed. His grief
lay in the deep sense that such a
doubt; might well be suggested by
the past, even if it were- at the
same time ungrounded. Men
might reasonably distrust his pro-
fession of sincerity after his fall,
but he appealed to the Lord using
the words 'thou knowest.'
Prophecy of Suffering
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
when thou wast young, thou gird -
est thyself, and walkedst whither
thou wouldest: but when thou
shalt be olci, thou shalt stretch
forth thy hands, and another shall
gird thee, and carry thee whither
tlhou wouldst not. Now this he
espake, signifying by what man-
ner of death he should glorify
God.' And when he had spoken
this, he saith unto him, follow
me." This solemn prophecy of
suffering is closely connected
with the joy of love and restora-
tion. In one way or another it
will surely be thus with every
true disciple of our Saviour. To
each of us without exception He
will assign some cross to bear
for Him; to each He will say, in
one *ay or another, °If you love
Me, serve Me; and you shall suf-
fer for Me.'
Peter's Responsibility
"Peter, turning • about, seeth
the disciple whops Jesus loved fol-
lowing; who also leaned back on
his breast at the supper, and said,
Lord, who is he that hetrayeth
thee? Peter therefore seeing him
saith to Jesus, Lord, and what
shall this man do? Jesus saith
unto him, If I will that he tarry
till I come, what is that to thee?
Follow thou me."
What needs to be emphasized
in our 'Lord's answer is that Ilse
tells Peter that John's course of
life and his destiny are matters
with which Peter has no need to
concern himself. If God has a
different career for John that is
not Peter's concern. Peter him-
self is an individual with a direct
responsibility to God, and he must
decide his course of action as a
personal matter between God and
hin1self, have ala 1.„
lar application to us all. Bve;y
course of action which presents:
itself to us must be decided upon
directly by ourselves, our con -
Science and God.
Jesus' Will Made Clear
°This saying therefore went
forth among the brethren, that
that disciple should • not dle; yet
bt
Jesus said not unto him,
that Ito
tarry
notdie;
come,what its that
If I Will that
he till
to thee?"
Only when Peter was actually
crucified in the year
4,Jewasus the
spoken
con -
caning his martyrdom fully and
positively understood. So with
John -- the event would finally
make clear just what the Lord's
will concerning hina was.
The
statement here made, therefore,
means only one . thing: it calls
upon all to wait till such time as
the Lord Himself will make plain
what His will concerning John is.
In Peter's case, Jesus pronounced
an actual prophecy; in John's he
declined a prophecy, and left
John's career and end wholly in
the secrecy of His will.
A Courageous Peter
"This is the disciple that bear-
oth • witness of these. things, and
wrote these things: and we know
that his witness is true.".
Peter did not know that he had
come to one of the great crises of
his life, and that from this time
on he would be an altogether dif-
ferent man. He•had. heard the
Lord entrust to him a more sol-
emn task than ever the Lord had
previously designated as his life
work. He had even heard that
day that he was to die a martyr,
crucified as the Lord had been
crucified for him. From this day
on we behold a courageous Peter
in place of the cowardly one of a;:
few days ago. .
