THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The announcement of the angel was in Mareli, 5 B.U. The declaration of Christ concerning His saving mission was uttered in 114arch, A..D, 30, and the conversion of Zacchaeus took place at the same time. The discourse in which John. :16 was found was uttered April, A.D. 27; the later discourse from John, in April A.D. 29. The statement from Acts was given about A.D. 33. The Epistle to the Romans and the Second Epistle to the Corinthians were written about A.D. 60—that to the Phillip - pians A.D. 64, and the First Epis- tle to Timothy, a year later. Place—The announcement of the angel was given in Nazareth. The statement of Christ about His sav- ing work was pronounced in i?er- aea•. The conversion of Zacchaeus was in Jericho. The discourse con- taining John 3:16 was given in Jerusalem. The conversation with the disciples took place at Caper - Baum. The passage from Acts was Vela a speech uttered in Jeru- salem. Romans was written from Corinth; Second Corinthians, per. leaps, from Philippi; the Epistle to the Philippians and First Tim- othy were written from Rome. Meaning of Word "Jesus" The New Testament, on its very first page, declares the purpose for which Jesus came down to earth. This purpose recognizes two facts: first, the fact that men are lost and need salvation; second, the faet that God loves men, and is going to undertake with all of His Mower to save them. The word "Jesus" is the Greek form of the word Joshua which in turn, is the abbreviation for the longer word Jehoshua, meaning Jehovah save; 'thus, the name Jesus means God saves. His Life a Ransom 25. "But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exer- cise authority over them, 26, Not so shall it be among you; but who- soever would .become great among you shall be your minister; 27. And whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant; 28. even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom to many." Jesus has ' just rebuked the mother of tho sons of Zebedee for asking for high places In Christ's Kingdom for her two sons, as in rebuking her has emphasized the virtue of saving others. To illustrate, He speaks . of His own mission on earth, de- claring that He had come, not to be waited upon, but to wait upon others—not that the world might serve Hint, but that He might ir`n- ister to the world, and to give His life a ransom for many—that of His own free choice He came to give up His soul or His life—that He gave it as a ransom, or in order to have redemption effects. Zacchuaeus Repents 1. "And he entered and was passing through Jericho. 2. And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. 3. And ho sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, be- cause be was little of stature. 4. And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today 1 must abide at thy house. 6. And he made haste, and carne down, and received him joyfully. 7. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone to the lodge with a mail that is a sinner. 8. And Zacchaeug stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half o imy goods I give to the poor; and if 1 have wrong fully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold, 9. And Jesus said unto hint, Today is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a sou of Abraham." What a change had come over Zaccheus in a day! What was the cause of the change? Jesus aim - self declares it: "Today is salvo• tion come to this house." The man first had au inner experience, and now there is an external man- ipulation of such a change in his life. Ile had been delivered from his passion for money, and his con- nivance with evil, and now, instead of doing everything crooked to become wealthy, Ile is willing to give away practically evetytaing he has, that he night have a con- rcicnce free from vondemnatlon, WAVELL TALKS WITH RUSSIANS General Wavell chats with Soviet Colonel Povov, centre, via interpreter, right, in Baghdad. and that he might, from this time, walk uprightly before God. He was that day saved from his sins. Jesus Seeks the Lost 10. "For the Soli of man came to seek and to save that which was lost." The faith and salvation of the publican and his family would be utterly impossible except for what the Son of man came to do, It is Jesus who says men are lost, but it is the same One who says He came lovingly to seek and to save such, He is still seek- ing them. He has never sought and found anyone so utterly aban- doned to sin but that He has been able to save even unto the utter- most. Dreary Day The postmen recently brought British taxpayers the first income tax bills under a new law calling for up to half of all they earned in the year ending last April 5. What Quarter Hour Would Do For Anne William S. Knudsen, Director General of the OPM, asserted cently that even an extra 15 minutes work by every American would step up arms production so much it would bring about Hit- ler's defeat and cut short the duration of the war "by a sub- stantial margin." "If every man working today worked one extra hour a day, six days a week, that would be some- thing like an extra 300,000,000 man hours per week and that would produce a lot more planes,., ships, tanks and guns," he said. "An extra half hour a day would be 150.000,000 more man' hours per week and just 15 minutes, additional would give us 75,000,- 000 more man hours." Air freight in The Netherlands Indies doubled last year. c b,, I THIS CURIOUS WORLD F erguison 1 BRITISH EN'T TS HAVE. DISCOVERED SOME.

When the war first touched the far fringe of the western desert the Siwa inhabitants flocked from their rumbling mud hut city to nearby Jeble Mute. (mountain of death), and made new homes inside death chambers hewn from solid rock thousands of years ago. A visit to this maze of catacombs is like a step back in time. Two thousand persons—Egyptians, Be. ouin, Berbers, Senussi, Arabs — live there in rock caves so low it is impossible for a man to stand upright. Niches which once contained mummies of their ancestors now House crude pottery, cooking pots, smoky oil lamps of biblical design and modern kettles from Birming- ham, England, the latter via Cairo Bazaars. Veiled women and young girls squat before fires of dried palm leaves like figures from an old Egyptian frieze, Goats. and chickens wander free- ly through the innermost recesses of darkened caveS which still smell faintly of the rich spices used to embalm the mummies of long ago. Air Transport -..a For Ocean Cargo Pan American clippers will be- gin ferrying freight across the Atlantic this month, says the New York Times. The needs of war have stimulated this develop- ment, yet it is perhaps strange that the existence of slower though cheaper forms of transport should have retarded it so long. In: the United States air express is already fourteen years old. Freight -carrying planes offer vital servires in undeveloped ebuntry. In the sparsely settled northern half of Canada in the same period more tons are trans- ported by sky -way than in this countruP. In Northern Siberia the development is even more striking. Where railways do not exist and water lanes are closed la : Winter the expense of trans- port by air loses much of its int- ' prtance. But airline express 'rates are being rapidly reduced. `There is no reason why planes' anima deliver freight as easily over'' the ocean as across land. With ships menaced by submar- ine.'attack the plane may be the more reliable carrier. Russia Releases Polish Prisoners Returning from a special mis- sion to Moscow, Dr. Joseph Ret - Anger, political chef -de -cabinet to tie Polish Premier, Wladyslaw $ikorski, recently praised the ;need. with which the Russian Government has released Polish prisoners and aided then in furnl- ing "legions to fight Germany. Polish citizens are being re- leased from imprisonment or in- ,glrnment and are being assisted •e -establishing normal condi, tions of life despite the difficult situation created by war. rt leas been estimated that there are 200,000 poles capable of bear- ing arms with the Russians along the eastern front. Present agree- ments provide that Britain will supply clothing, a large quantity of which has already been ship- ped, and that the Russians would he responsible for military equip- ment for these Poles.

Cameron, safety advisor to the United States Labor Department, told a safety conference.
