SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 42 GROWTH IN CHRIST Luke 2:40-52; Hebrewt 5:11-14; 2 Peter 1:1-8 PRINTED TEXT Luke 2:40 52; 2 Peter 1:1-8 GOLDEN TEXT. Grow In the grace and knowledge of our Lord nd Saviour Jesui Christ. 2 Peter S:18. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. Our Lord was born either 4 or 5 B.C., and thus the year when He was twelve would be A.D. 7 or 8; and the time of His visit to the t6mple>, April of that year. The date for the Epistle to the Hebrews cannot be definitely as- certained, but It certainly was be- fore the destruction of Jerusalem, about A.D. 65. The Apostle Peter wrote his Second Epistle at about the same time, approximately A.D. 66. Place. The passages describing the early life of our Lord relate to events larking place In Jerusa- lem, and in Nazare-th, far north in Galilee. We do not know from what places the Epistle to the He- brews and the Second Epistle of Peter were written. Growth During Boyhood 40. "And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wlidom: and the grace of God was upon him." 'He grew and waxed strong' the physical is first; 'be- coming filled with wisdom' the mental is second: and the third la not necessarily third in order, and yet its statement Is third be- cause It Is so largely a matter that He* within th realm of the grace of God that It Is put last 'the Grace of God was upon Him!' Growth Young Man 52. "And Jesus advanced in wis- dom and stature, and in favor with God ami men." We have here ex- actly the same facts as In the growth ot the- child: The child grew, and waxed strong; becoming filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him'; but here Is a different order and relation. In those earlier years from baby- hood to boyhood the physical Is supreme, necessarily so: and we violate the life- of a child betw?n babyhod and boyhood it we at- tempt to make the mental su- preme. But now things are alter- ed: the mental is supreme. He advanced In wisdom, and this de- velopment In wisdom accompanied and governed the development In staturo. The supreme thing In these years Is wisdom; subservi- ent to it, not degraded by it, but ennobled by It, is development in stature. Growth of Christian Life 1. "Simon Peter, a servant and apostle- of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ: J. Grace to jxyi and peace be multiplied In tho knowledge ot God and of Jesus our Lord; 3. see- inn that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of bim that called us by his own glory and virtue: 4. whereby he hath grant- ed unto us his precious and ex- ceeding great promises; that through these ye may bocome par- takers ot the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that Is in the world by lust. 5. Yea. and for this very cause adding on your part all dllig<Mic, In your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; 6. and in your knowledge self-coutrol; and In your self-control patlenvv; and In your patience godliness; 7. and IB your godliness brotherly kind- ness; ami in your brotherly klud- n*ss lov. 8. For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the kuowlddg* of our Lord Jeans Christ." The Apostle begins tola Epistle by showing to his renders some of the riches which they already have In the. salvation which is theirs in Jesus Christ, then urges them to grow In their Christian life. Faith By God's Grace 1. "Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ" Faith gives exactly the same spiritual privileges to all. whether the most famous ot apos- tles, or the most obscure of be- lievers: this faith is given by .-* grace and mercy of God, without any desert or merit of man; it brings with It equal privileges be- cause of the absolute justice or 'righteousness ot our God and tke Saviour Jtsua Christ.' Peter's Admonition 3. "Grace to you and p^ace b* multiplied In the knowledge ot Qod and of Jesus our Lord." This 'knowledge' Is the channel ot 'grace.' It Is the ground of 'peace,' it is the meajis of salvation. It is the Instrument of all blessings. Peter writes to remind Christians ot the content ot this knowledge, to warn them of apostate teachers who are opposing It In the Inter- ests of a false 'knowledge,' to *a- courage them to value and to de- velop thia true knowledge of Qod and of CarUL S. "Seeing that his divina power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godli- ness, through the knowledge ot him that called us by his own glory and virtue." There is a free gift of Divine power for all our needs, everything to foster the spiritual life and to guide into the way at holiness. Wisdom will be gives that we may understand God's will and choose aright, strength to persevere in the midst of trial, boldness to make confession of the Lord before men, and watch- fulness lest we, as did the teaoa- *rs of error, wax ovsrconfidant All things are granted; all things may be oure. Partaking of Holiness 4. "Whereby he hath granted onto us his precious and exceed- ing graat promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escapei from the corruption that is in the world by lust." Becoming "par- takers of the divine nature" does not mean that man ever comes to possess th essence of being which God has that makes Him God, la contrast to the essence we have that makes us men. We will be men forever, and never God; bat as God Is love, so are we to be so filled with love that we partake of His nature of love, and we iove even as He loved us. As God's nature Is one ot holiness, we are to be holy, even as He la holy, and thereby through the indwell- ing of His Holy Spirit, to partake of His holiness.

Do you remember Judith Evel/a who played me part of Margaret ia * series of dramatic broadcasts known as "The Country Doctor" 4botK 7 years ago? Since taoae d*76 Judith ha* become a top ranking Broadway star, having won tie acclaim of New Tork critics and audiences with her outstand- ing performance* In the dramatic role of Mrs. Manningham in fixe play "Angel Street". The last time Judith Brelyn's cams waa prom- inently feacwed In th Ontario press was when she arrived in To- ronto, a survivor of the torpedoed liner "Athenia," Next Sunday Jar dith Evelyn returns to Toronto to share with Vlncant Price, her leading man in tie Broadway play, the principal role la one at radio's most recent network successes, "Nazi Eyes on Canada." Canada is proud to welcome this talented star of stage and radio, and we suggest that you make a definite point of tuning in at 7.30 p.m. Sun- day, October 18th, to CBL. or other network station* of the CBC who will carry the broadcast. For those who miss its earlier presentation, Judith Evelyn may be heard in a rebroadcast of the big show from CFRB commencing at 3.30. One of Ontario's most popular programmes, Treasure Trail, Siaa changed its time, and the change hac :>een inspired by a patriotic motive. Formerly presented over CFRB 9.30 to 10 Wednesday eve- nings. Treasure Trail has been moved one hour earlier in order to provide network facilities for the All-Star Variety programme la the interests of the Fourth Victory Loan Campaign at I to 10 pm. Wednesday night.

Everybody enjoys a fairy tale beginning with the fam- iliar phrase. "Once upon a time . . ." So, kids, from 7 to 70 you can take your place around the radio Sunday afternoon 5.30. tuns In CBL or other station of the CBC national network, and trans- form your thoughts to the Land of Make-Believe with John Ada- skin. You'll hear stories written by the internationally famous Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. It is also expect- ed that the series will include a pecial dramatisation of "Bambi", using the original muaic of Walt Disney's cartoon with perhaps an added sp-lnkling of that popular artist's blessing. Canada Delivers 51st Cargo Ship The Canadian shipbuilding in- dustry last week delivered Into service its 51st 10.000-ton cargo ship, all but one of them complet- ed this year. "Only one cargo ship was com- pleted prior to Jan. 1, 1942." said the Minister in a brief statement "The output for nine months of this year represents 500.000 dead- weight tons of shipping. "Favored by ideal climatic con- ditions which permit year-round launchings. and operating seven days a week. British Columbia yards have led the way both in number of ships built and in speed of construction." Last June a west coast ship- yard launched the 10. 000-ton Fort Pitt 77 days after her keel was laid, at that time a Canadian rec- ord in steel freighter construc- tion. In a satement issued earlier this month Mr Howe said contracts have been negotiated for construc- tion in Canada of nearly 300 10.- 000-ton cargo ships, at a cost of about $600.000.000. In addition there are a number of 4.700-ton ships to be constructed, all ou the East coast. Talking at noon-boor programs. D yow ever "Listen to Leaser"? IfcM to 1.10 UJTRB.

For sheer origin- ality, and for mat droll lexwte of humor thai always gew a smile, you can depend on Leaser. He has jwK about the crasiest sMnta on a broadcast that anyone could thick up ... bat he's the fellow that surely nits die head on th nail whan it comes to a laugh. And one of Leaser's prixe quips . . a*d hs takes great delight in tak- ing the laugh on himself . . is that he's not Interested any more la a "second front" . . . h* claims to carry hi* own around with him aft the time ... a rotund waist line of ... Inches. Ws daren't pot it in print. We'd be sued for disturbing the peace. But Leaser's troubles are only just beginning, so he says. Any difficulty that hs ha had with the "Listen to Less- er" broadcast in the past pales into significance since he graduat- ed into the "Professor" claaa on the Ontario Caravan show <CFRB, Thursdays 9 to 9.30). A female of tiio name of "AnasthesU Cora- tassel" haa a crush on the Pro- fessor. He simply cannot shaks this gal. His culture, his learning, his compelling command of liter- ature and science have the gal mesmerised. And its a sure thing that she'll follow aim to Meafoni on the Ontario Caravan broadcast Thursday, Oct. 15th and to Strat- ford. October 22nd. Tune In for developments. Smaller Ar mi Tk succses of tba GeiinsM to Nor* Afrtoa proves once MM* the value of She smaU, UjAlf quipped army, notes The a coaver Sun. According to MX CkmrahiU, Bonunsl had 90,004 troops on^r aad yet with them h* haa created one of the great milt' taiy arises of history, threatsniny the Sues Canal and control of ** whole Near East. Such an army in the last war would have been considered in- capable of any major undertaking Yet a Japanese army of such sis* or smaller took the South Sea* and their rich islands, and & priceless peninsula of Burma from ua. A small fores also assured ta fall of Franca. This, except fo the titanic, head-on struggle of tiis Russian frost, is a war of small armies, stabbing 1 quickly against other armies inadequately equipped to meet them. To Canadians the lesson of thte experience is especially lignifi- cant. Canada has a small army overseas, some 150,000 men. 1% is, according to the Government th n.ost mechanized army in tha world. It is a force far large* and far more powerful than Rom- mel's army which brought, in Mit Churchill's phrase, the greatea* recession of our hopes since th fall of France. We should real- ize, therefore, that our army, b- cause of its extraordinary equip- ment, is not a minor item IB the resources of the United Nation* but a weapon which, given the opportunity, :..ay play a major part in their victory.
