Wo as" ny King's Messenger Has A Lonely Job Has State Cabin at Sea and Private Sleeping Room on | Rallways The world's loneliest travellers, fn war or peace, are the King's: messengers, those men who are constantly on the move with sec ret documents for ambassadors or vital information for the British overnment. You won't find a King's mess. enger sitting beside you In a rail . way coach or rubbing elbows at the bar of a big passenger liner, even in peace. In" war' his move ments are doubly clothed in se. erecy. As sea he has a state. eabins and on railways a private . sleeping salon. He won't leave his quarters until the journey is fin- ished, The war has brought radical changes, Messengers now are per- mitted to fly. So much of Europe end the Far East is in Axis hands that the risk must be taken. Yet, # a plane crashes on enemy ter- ritory and secret codes fall into unfriendly hands, it 18 a costly business. A new code costs $100, 000 and it has to be delivered. per- sonally to every British ambas. sador throughout the world. Accidents Have Happened Accidents have happened. A messenger, for instance, was trav- elling to Washington on the Tita- nic with ¢ode books in 1912 when the vessel hit an iceberg and sank, Tho messenger was drowned and although there was no doubt that the diplomatic bags were lost, the Foreign Office, in accordance with the rules, gave orders that all copies of the cipher were to be destroyed and a new set invented. Nowadays diplomatic bags are welghted with lead rods to make sure they sink in event of a ship- wreck. It is a precautionary meas. ure arising out of an- incident in the last war when a messengers' bag fell into German hands, Germans Unknowingly Helped The messenger was bringing dispatches to the Foreign Office from the British ambassador at. Athens when his ship was stopped by a U-boat in the Mediterranean, He threw his bag containing all his documents, overboard, but it floated and was picked up by a German - vessel. Within 48 hours correspondence between Sir Ed- ward Grey, then foreign secretary, and the British ambassador in Greece was published in full in Berlin newspapers. A King's messenger has to be. well-equipped for the job. He must be able to speak atleast threo -- languages, to ride, swim and shoot straight. He must be prepared to SCHOOL May 30 PETER'S COUNSEL TO SCAT- TERED CHRISTIANS PRINTED TEXT, 1 Peter 1:1; 2:11-26 - GOLDEN TEXT--Honor all men, "Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the Xing. 1 Peter 2:17. Memory Verse: He careth you. 1 Peter 6:7. "THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--Probably about A.D. 60, . Place--Some believe that First Poter was written from Babylon; others have suggested that, be- cause the city now known as Cairo, Egypt, was anciently called Baby- lon, The Epistle was written from there. The Apostolic Salutation "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are so journers of the Dispersion in Pon- tus, Galatia, Cappgdocla, Asia and Bithynia." The authoritative tone of this epistle is shown at the out- set. The writer assumes his full titles -- The Rock--name which Christ had given him, and the of- ficlal dignity of an 'apostle of Jes- us Christ.' : : The Abstemious Life "Beloved, I beseech you as so for ~Journers and pilgrims, To abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the =oul. Having your be- "havior seemly among the Gentiled; that, wherein they speak against you as evildoers, they may be your good works, which they be- hold, glorify God in the day of visitation." The seemly conduct of believers must be continuous or it will fail of its effects. One dis. play of Christian conduct, or oc caslonal manifestations thereof, will not win men to love the way of Christ. The evil reports of the adversaries are ill-grounded, but they do not think so; and the.only means of removing their pexverse view is by a continuous revelation of the excellence of Christ's ser- vice.- a oo "Boe subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: wheth- er to the king, as supreme; or un- ' to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-deors, and for praise to them that do well.

They are to submit for the Lord's sake, in order not to bring discredit up- on His teaching and persecution upon His church.

The enemy reported regu- larly that the terminal had been bombd so effectively, large fires could be seen. * There were fires, 'all right. But they were fires started by a small garrison: of British troops, who were stationed at a dummy rail- head.

For this is acceptable, it for conscience to- ward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and - ~"are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? But if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this Is acceptable with God." Servants are urged to be, mot only obedient, but loyal to eir masters. The "fear" is not of punishment, but denotes anx- fous fidelity and deference at all times and the desire to avold all offense. Christ Our Example "For hereunto were ye called:. because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that yo should follow his steps." The differenco Qpetween Jesus: Christ and ourselves is indeed infinite; ft is the difference between the Creator and the creature, And yet He ls also truly Man; and for pur- poses of imitation the truth of His Manhood is all that we require, "Who did no sin, neither was guile found In his mouth, Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threat- ened not; but committeth himself to 'him that judgeth righteously." Christ had met taunts and revil- . ings with a silent patience and committed "Himself to the right- eous Judge. So should the slaves who suffered wrongfully commit their cause to God In the full as- surance that they will one day havo righteous judgment. "Who his own self bare our sins - in his body upon the tree, that we, | having "died unto sins,, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed." The words imply that Christ, by His own act as well as by God's appointment, bore our sins in His own body-- Ho made our sins His own. Many aro convinced that "by whose stripes yo arc healed" refers to the healing of all physical aliments through Christ's work upon the aross, But we feel that these words refer to the healing of the soul with spiritual healing. : "For yo were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls." Their is, perhaps, a spec 1al stress laid on Christ being the Bhepherd of their souls, Their bodies might be subject to the ° wer of thelr masters, but thelr 'higher nature, that which was | thelr truo self, was subject only to the loving oare of the Great humour, lots of people think that the big comedians have '2 nice, comfortable, easy job . . . that life for them is little other than a parade of laughs.- Far be it from that.
