THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.â€"Late February or early March, A.D., 30. March, A.D., 80. Place.â€"Peraca, the portion of Palâ€" estine on the castern side of the Jorâ€" dan, opposite Galilee. This fascinating story of the rich young ruler is also found in Matt. 19:16â€"22 and Luke 18:18â€"23. There is hardly anything in all the Gospels more gripping, more . penetrating, with a losson more important, than the meeting of Jesus with this young man. 17. And as he was going forth inâ€" to the way. Of course this refers to Jesus, who is last mentioned by name in verse 14. There ran one to him. Matthew tells us that this person was both young and wealthy, and Luke tells us that he was a ruler in Israel, which, while in this place it could hardly mean that he was a member of the Sanhedrin, probably implies that he was one high in authority in some local synagogue. This person had much to his advaniaceâ€"youth. power, and wealth. This izan also was one of hich character, as we disâ€" cover in reading the story, And kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inberit etérnal life? To begin with, this man was not satisfied with what he hadâ€"his possessions, his authorâ€" ity, all the power and vigor and joy of youth, which he certainly possessâ€" ed, were rot meeting the deepest need of his heart, and he knew it. In fact, he did not possess the great thingâ€"eternal life, by which is meant not only life that continues throughâ€" out all the eternities, but life which satisfies, which is always deep and rich and abundant, life that really comes from God, life that bestows perfect peace and abounding joy, life that grows more wonderful with evâ€" ery passing day. What he wanted was what all men in their better moâ€" ments have longed for down through all the ages. Something To Be Done In the second place, we note that this man felt that there was someâ€" thing that he should do, some great task he should undertake, to obtain that which his heart most longed for. In the third place, we must not fail to observe the true humility of this man. » 18. And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God. When the young ruler called Jesus "good" and asked what "good thing" he should do to gain life, the question was in what sense he meant "good." The quesâ€" tion of Jesus was asked to bring home to the ruler the meaning of this word. To show what Jesus means, he points out that greatness in the true sense can be predicated only by God. So far is this from denying the Godhead of Jesus that it actually asserts it for him. The man is thus led to look at Jesus in a new way, that indeed Jesus may be God, essontially one with God as his Son. Duty To One‘s Neighbour 19. Thou knowest the commandâ€" ments. Do not kill, Do not commi: adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. Having deâ€" clared that only God himself was good, the Lord Jesus now points the young man to God‘s commandments, which, coming from God, are often called "good" in the Old Testament and were given for our good. The Lord cites only the commandments which regulate man‘s duty to his neighbor, probably because they adâ€" mit of a relatively simple applicaâ€" tion to the conduct of life. 20. And he said unto him, Teachâ€" er, all these things have I observed from my youth. The young man exâ€" pected Jesus to make a great delivâ€" erance that would throw the needed light upon his own darkened soul. 21. And Jesus looking upon him, Loved him. And said unto him, One thing thou lackest. The verb here translated "lackest" is the same as that iranslated in Rom. 3:23, "fall short of the glory of God." Jesus knew and knows the human heart perfectly. He knew what this man needed without speculation or furâ€" ther questions; and when he finally diagnosed his case, the diagnosis could be absolutely depended upon. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. â€" Jesus does not tell all men who follow him to sell their possessions. What he is getting at is the one thing which this man has set up in his heart as an idol, the one thing that he thinks e hmust have, and that is, in this young man‘s case, his wealth. Now, no one can have eterâ€" nal life when he puts his hope and trust in anything that belong to this earth, whether it be material things, a person, or an ideal. It should be a person, or an ideal. Eternal life can neither be had by giving up anything %%gnhap ®chool BP Lesson or everything on this earth. No Sacrifice Wanted 22. But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful. The verb here translated "his counâ€" tenance fell" is used of the saddenâ€" ing of either the face of nature or the human face. The answer did not exasperate, but it gave him pain, which was visible on his countenance. For he was one that had great posâ€" sessions. This man wanted something better than he had, but he was not prepared to make any sacrifice to get it. If Christ could accept such, millions of people would join the church at once. He wanted God, but not at the cost of his gold; he wanted life, but not at the expense of luxâ€" ury. S 23. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enâ€" ter into the kingdom of God! This young man was undoubtedly preparâ€" ed to do much and to meet Jesus halfâ€"way, but he was not ready to go the whole way and to put all at the service of Christ. 24. And the disciples were amazed at his words. Then, as now, there was an established relation in which wealth enabled its possessor to come to the front and occupy the more prominent position. But Jesus ansâ€" wereth again, ard saith unto them, Children, how hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25. It is easier for a camel to go through a needle‘s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus meant an acâ€" tual gnat and an actual camel, so here camel and needle‘s eye are acâ€" tual. Jesus means that it is imposâ€" sible for a rich man who trusts in riches to go into the kingdom. 26. And they were astonished exâ€" ceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved? 27. Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God. What Jesus meant was that God would be able so to change a man‘s heart by the movement of the Holy Spirit, by the sacrifice which the Lord Jesus Christ was soon to offer, that, however great the man‘s wealth might be, his heart would not be resting in his wealth; but he would love God with all of his heart, with all of his mind, with all of his strength; and thus in spite of all of his wealth he would be saved. 28. Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have folâ€" lowed thee. From their position the question was inevitable. Instead of adding to their worldly goods this association had diminished it. They had borne everything for him. What return would be in his greatness make them? 20. Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or moâ€" ther, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel‘s sake. 30, But he shall releive a hunâ€" dredfold now in this time houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with perseâ€" cutions; and in the world to come etâ€" ernal life. When one gives up a life of sin and lives for Christ, he has a clearer mind, and a stronger Lbody, and a peace in his heart he never knew before, and a wisdom that comes down from above, all of which will enable hin to do in his life what he could not so successfully do previously. There is a higher meaning to our Lord‘s words also. One house gone, but one hundred doors open. One brother in the flesh lost; but a thouâ€" sand brethren in the spirit, whose love is deeper and whose kinship is profounder, gained. 31. But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. Many who are first here in this life, even in religious matters, in church affairs, because of great gifts, or congenial personality, or because of selfâ€"seekâ€" ing, will in the kingdom of God he last, i.e., they will have a minor place; whereas many who now are in obâ€" livion, whose names are not even known, will, because of the purity of their lives, the absoluteness of their love for Christ, be given first place in the kingdom where love and sinâ€" cerity and holiness will be the virâ€" tues by which men will be judged by the King himself.

Accidents in industry have been steadily declining, he emphasized, while automobile deaths are increasâ€" ing to an appalling extent. Industry has been so successful in its accident prevention work that a man is safer today in the midst of whirling wheels and speeding machinery than he is in his home or en route between his home and the factory â€" where he works. Home Is Very Dangerous Home is one of the most dangerous places, Mr. Duff said, because a slipâ€" pery rug, a bn{.htul{ or a chair that is not where the sitter thinks it is are greater hazards than electricity or disease. Accidents in the home are responsible for 85 per cent. of all deaths, the automobile causes 24 per cent. and industry is responsible for only 17 per cent. "What shall it profit," he asked, "to save a man in the shop or save him in his home if he is to go oul and get killed on the highway or kill someone else?" ‘Last year automobiles killed 766 people in Ontario, as many men, woâ€" men and children as make up an ayâ€" erage incorporated village, the speakâ€" er pointed out. The army of injured and maimed mounted to 12,092. If the automobile has any "luck" this weekâ€"end, Mr. Duff said, it will kill five persons and injure 40 in Ontario. One of Largest Jobs "The job of accident prevention is one of the largest jobs we have in Canada. There is only one better field on this earth for activities of this kind, for Canada ranks second only to the United States in mortalâ€" ity from accidental causes," he deâ€" clared. Paul V.

Sails For His Home How Canada Wars On Forest Firses OTTAWA. â€" Constant experiments and research on the part of forest authorities in Canada during the last twenty years have brought about great advances in the development of equipâ€" ment and technique for detecting and controlling forest fires. The use of the airplane for fire patrol and transâ€" portation, the development . of light portable fire pumps and | linen â€" fire hose, lightâ€"weight radio apparatts for communication, hand spray pum[s®, and miscellaneous equipment are a few of the results. Locate Fire First In fighting a forest fire, the most important thing is to locate it as soon as possible after it has started. In an upâ€"toâ€"date forest administration high towors of wood or steel, usually with a cabin on top, are erected at suitable points. When a fire is spotted by the lookâ€"out man, he takes a bearing on the smoke by means of a special inâ€" strument called a fireâ€"finder and tole phones this bearing to headquarters. If two or more bearings can be had in this manner from other lookouts, they are laid out on the map at head quarters, and the point where all such bearings intersect is the location of the fire. Decrease In Area When a fire is located, it is importâ€" ant to get fireâ€"fighters to the scene as quickly as possible. The means of transport for men and equipment may be by motor truck, power boat, airâ€" plane, canoe, or on foot, depending on the region and terrain. If the fire is small, or if there is no water available it is controlled by removing all in flammable material down to the minâ€" eral soil in a strip around the fire. The fire is prevented from crossing this cleared strip, and burns itself out. If a source of water supply is available, gasoline fire pumps and long lines of fire hose are used, much as in a city fire. The men also use hand spray pumps fed from water bags or tanks carried on their backs. Reflecting the efficiency of Canada‘s forest fire protection organizations, statistics compiled by the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, show a decrease of about 60 per cent. in the area of merchantable timber burned per fire during the period 1918â€"1937. One‘s pen is a very precarious‘ thing to depend on for a living, but relying on it is a great adventure, acâ€" cording to Leslie Gordon Barnard, president of the Canadian Author‘s Association. In a world that is sharpening its sword, it is a good thing for the writer to sharpen his pen, that he may have some saving stimulus against indignation over the world‘s behaviour, he told the Canadian Woâ€" men‘s Press Club, at Montreal. "Never Too Serious" Mr. Barnard described "moments in the life of a writer." Among these "moments" he said, were the stories "that come as gifts from the subconscious;" periods of hard work and discouragement; when the job is done; when the cheque or acceptance comes, and seeing the story actually between the two covers of the book. The power of the pen and of the press mattered tremendously, declarâ€" ed Mr. Barnard, and "we must never take ourselves too seriously and beâ€" come ponderous." Two essentials in writing, he found, were distinction and vitality.© Power of Pen Must Indicate Projper Weigh: In bunching@ asparasus and rhvâ€" barb merchants are required this year by new government regulations to put them up in buncles of specified weight. Buzches of A:peragus and Rhwâ€" Larb Come Under New Regulations Asparagus must be put up in eight ounce or 16 ounce bunches. A little leeway of one ounce is allowed for shrinkage after they are bundled at these weights. They must not weigh less than seven or 14 ounces respectâ€" ively when sold. But when they are put up they must weight the eight and 16 ounces specified. And Baskets of Potatoes Formerly retailers could put them up in any sized bundles with the reâ€" sult that customers could not tell what value they were gotting.. Stolen Pictures "White Elephant" Forced rhubarb can only be offered for sale in bunches from 16 to 17 ounces in weight when packed and not less than 15 ounces per bunch when offered for sale. It is also required by the regulaâ€" tions covering fruit and vegetables that potatoes can only be sold by weight. A basket of potatoes must weigh ten pounds for six quarts and 18 pourds for 11 quarts. They‘re Too Valuable to be Marâ€" keted ky Thieves Anywhere LONDON.â€"The sensational theft of £100,000 ($500,000) worth of Oid Masters from Chilham â€" castle was no nearer solution this week. Police inquiries yielded no develâ€" opments. An art expert termed the robbery a "white elephant picture theft," saying: "There is no availâ€" able market for the pictures anyâ€" where in the world.

I would like to get into work that is more congenial and betterâ€"paid." Handwriting analysis plays an imâ€" portant part in bringing relief to a lot of people. Because your handâ€" writing DOES show what talent you have. It may be only a latent talent that needs much developing before it can be put to practical use, but it is there. And if you can but realise it, you can set to wo‘; io elaborate on it and realise your costiny, Some time ago a young man living 1 Northern Ontario wrote to me. He was a grocery assistant, earning a seggardly pittance. . He was naturalâ€" ly dissatisfied. Could I give him any advice about possibilities of improvâ€" ing himself? His handwriting showed two things plainly. He had musical talent, but had not cultivated it to any extent. And he lacked selfâ€"confidence. } I told him frankly that he needed firstly to develop more selfâ€"assurance, and then to cultivate his musical talâ€" ent. _ Without the one the second would be no use to him for he would lack the confidence to impress othors with his talent.
