Place The home of Mary and Martha, in the village of Bethany, which is over the ridire on the eastern slope- of the Mount of Olhes, opposite Jerusalem. "Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him; but Mary still at in the house. Martha there- fore said unto Jesus, Lord, if Thou hadst been hero, my broth- er had not died. And even now I know that, whatsoever Thou halt ask of God, God will give Thee." The characteristics of those two sisters are evident. Mary, the <|uieter of the two, and the mure meditative, remains in the horiii' while Martha, as soon 8 she hoars that the Lord is com- ing, goes out to meet Him. Mary knows that whatever Christ might ask of God, He would grant which means that she believes Christ, even now, can raise her brother from the dcf-l. Reiurrection and Life "Jr.sus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto Him, I know that he iJiall rise again in (hi- resurrec- tion of the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live." The word "resurrection" la te be taken in its widest sense, o that it is true to say that life results from resurrection, and resurrection from life, to the ne- ''<ver. He mint share Chrls'.'p bfe in order to have the power within him of tli" i;-sui:cclio:i from the jrravc t > th t endiosy Mfe, a? d by 'harirr,' Christ's risen life now in faith !' is in fact i(en with Christ, ard independent of every future change death of tLc body itself a:n' slv'll he kept from rmlless death. Believing in Chritt 'And whosoever liveth and be- lieveth on me shall never die. Be- llevrst thou this? She saith unto Him, Yea, Lord, 1 have believed that Thou art the Christ, the son of God, even he that cometh into the world." Note particularly how Chrigt seems to emphasize, above everything else, the im- portance of believing in Him. Companion for Mary "And when she had said this, he went away, anil culled Mary her Bister .secretly, saying, The Toucher i here, und calleth thee. And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him. Mary therefore, when she runic where Jfgus WHS, and saw him, fell down this feet, Allying unto him, Lord, If thou hiidxt been here, my hrtitiT hail not died." No doubt, Mary ami Martha hnd continually talked about the Lord's cnniiiig to the house, before Lazarus hnd died, mill hail both conchlileil that, ihoulil the Lord come, tlieii broth- er would he healed. This may ur eount for the fnrt that her words to Christ are identical with those f her muter. ' "When Jesus there iniv saw her weeping, nnd the .lews also weeping who c;iine with her, he irroaneil in the spirit, and was troubled, ii nd caici. "Where have ye lni<l him? They ;!> unto him, Lord, romp nnd nee. .lcu<< went." The term "to weep" does not in- dicate, like the word weeping in verae 3,'(, ftifrh*, hut t< ars; it is the expression of n calm and gentle grief. Victory Over Death "Jesu- I here fort; ii|r:nu gronn- ing in himself rometh to the l"i r N'nw it was n cave, uml a rtone Iny ngaiiut it. Jo*us nith, Tn' e ye away the stone, Murtha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thce, that if thou heliuvcdst, thou should see the glory of God?" These won!.--, while addres- sed first to Martha, because she is the one who raised the objection, must surely have been uttered for the benefit of all who were near and were spoken to remind those who had confessed their faith in Him that in ordering the sti to be removed He was only ini.iating an act which would re- veal the glory of God, and should thus persuade them to do what he had commanded them to d.i. Jeiu> Civet Thanks "So they took away the stone, and Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou heardcst me. And I knew that thou hcarest me always; But because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.' 1 In Christ's calm con- sciousness of His unity with God, of fulfilling the Father's mission and purpose, He thanks the Fath- er for the opportunity given Him of setting forth the glory of God. Symbol of Redemption And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Laz- arus, come forth. He that was dead came forth, hound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a nap- kin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go." The simple grandeur, brevity and force of this resurrection call corresponds with the mighty effect. The great voice or shout, from One who was wont to speak so gently and <|uiet- ly, thrilled the heart of every listener. The significance of this mighty deed we cannot over-esti- mate, for it is on the one hand, a profoundly significant symbol of Christ's redemption, and on the other, a signal testimony to His right and power to redeem.

An Experiment In Feeding Hogs Vitamin Deficiency DU- cutsed by The Winnipeg Free Press The current vitamin craze may be strongly tinned with faddism, but the new interest that is being aroused in the life-piving quali- ties of our foods is all to the good none the less. We are discovering at last that our health depends not on how much we cat, but what we eat. The havoc which vitamin de- 'iciency can wreak was recently shown very vividly in Texas with an experiment in pig breeding. There is a lesson for humans to learn from these experiments. During the heijfht of the dust bowl years, two litters of pigs in separated communities were born blind. The authorities set out to discover the reason. Kxperiments were conducted in ho^ diet. One diet was devised which was com- pletely devoid of Vitamin A. Sows fed on this diet farrowed pig which were not only blind but which had no eyes. In one experiment, a sow be- came too weak to stand. She was given one dose of cod liver oil. In eight hours site was standing again. When her pigs were born they were blind but had rudimen- tary eyes. The experiments were carried a step farther. The pitfs which were born eyuless were interbred and put on vitamin A diets. In every case their offspring 1 had sound eyes and eyesight. The conclusion which can be drawn from this experiment to clear. Many of the defects In our bodies can be often attributed to the diets of our mothers. The mothers of today who take care of their diets are more likely to produce babies with better bodies, sounder organs and a chance foi n healthier life than those who regard modern science as new- fangled nonsense.

RADIO REPORTER By REX FROST Wtoet do you suppose Foster Hewitt, the well known dynamic hockey announcer does when he gets through his thrilling descrip- tion over the radio of a Saturday night national hockey gat.3? Did I hear anybody suggest that he puts on his hat and coat and en- joys a hit of quiet relaxation at home? Well, that is just what Fos- ter Hewitt does NOT do. He starts in to work for several hours. It seems that Foster's air dsceripllon of the Saturday night hockey game* te recorded in order that Canadian soldiers in Great Britain and other parts of the world may follow the fortunes of Canada's national sport . . . hockey. But for the purposes of transmission overseas the game which ordinarily takes about an hour and a half of air time, has to he condensed to 30 minutes. Foster's job therefore immediate- ly following the broadcast Is to liatmi to the record, pick out the highlights and boil tLem down into a half hour programme. When this has been done, and rt Is sometimes quite a lengthy process lasting into the early hours of the following morning, Canada's premier hockey announc- er can enjoy a spot of rest. But not before. The record is then rushed to a transmission point and beamed by short wave on Sunday for the benefit af the Canadian forces overseas. From all reports this series of international hockey broadcasts has come to be enjoy- ed just as much by the British public. Canada was the first coun- try to send special shortwave transmissions overseas for the en- tertain m<-*>t of the lads In the ser- vices. More recently, since the entry into the war of the United States, radio has also played an import- ant part in the entertainment of Uncle Sam's Doughboys, saUors and airmen now spread into the far distant corners of the globe. Apart from the special trans- missions which are received dir- ect In the more important spheres where American troops are now fighting the cause of freedom, rec- ordings of many radio programs are being dropped by means of parachutes in many of the isolatnl spots. * In North America Sunday night has always been regards! a* th* highlight of the week in re?; tip- top quality radio entertatiiip'iit. CFRB Toronto has jusi ;uiaounced that on Sunday evening, February 2Ut, 9 p.m., it will bring for Do- minion listeners the first Canad- ian edrtion of the Columbia Broad- casting System's exciting fe:;fiir "The Radio Reader's Digest." Al- though a comparative newec.mer to the ah-, this programme has been placed already among the first ten in two different divisions of the recently concluded radio poll in the United States. Conrad Xagel, famous star of screen, stage and radio, is Master of Cere- monies, and the whole production has been built around a dram-ilic and musical personnel of elabor- ate proportions. Here is a pro- gramme which 1 feel most listen- ers will agree is entirely different and extremely versatile. * * CFRB Toronto annoi nces also a change in I he time of presenta- tion of two popular broadcasts. To accommodate the Radio Reader's Digest it has been necessary to move the much listened to drajn- atic feature "In His Steps 1 ' which from now on will be heard 2'- hours earlier, namely. tj.,10 Puu- day evening. Enthusiasts for the series of thrilling mystery drani&s known as "The Gre*a Hornet" which has been heard for pome time 9 o'clock Friday eveu'ng over CFRB Toronto will now have to tune in the 760 kilocycle waveband at 7.15 Saturday nigh:. ,, LISTEN TO COUNTRY n NEWS Item* of Intercil From Ontario Weekly Newfpapera EACH SUNDAY AT 2 P.M.
