The events described in the passage taken from John oc- curred in February, A.D. 27; th csll of the four disciples, record- ed by Mark, occurred in April, A. I). 2K. Place.- The testimony of John the Baptist and the first rail of the three di'ciples probably took place near Bethany, beyond Jor- dan; the latter call of the four disciples look place at the -ca of Galileo, near Capernaum. The Lamb of God "On tin- morrow he set-til Jeeus eominp unlo him, and saith. Be- hold, the l.amb of God, that t;tk- tth away the sin of the world!" Christ is everywhere in the New Testament ivfognized not only as the Creator of the world, but the Muiour of the world. He it is who will draw all men unto Him- self. "This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for ho was before me. 1 ' Undoubtedly John means by these words that Christ first, in point of time, existed be- fore John the Baptist; that he was, in other words, none other than tbe Eternal Son of God. Chritt Identified "And I knew him not; but that be should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I bap tiling In water. And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven ; and it abode upon him." Thi.s whole incident is very parallel to the transfiguration. In both, Chris!, is miraculously glori- fied previous to setting out to suffer; in both a voice from toavnn bears witness to Him. Chriit'i Minion "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, upon whomso- ever thou shall see the spirit des- cending, an I abiding upon him, the same is lie that Inipluelh in On- Holy .Spirit. .And I have seen, and have home witness that this Is the Son of (Jod." John desig- nates Christ as being lifted up above all other beings who had ever appeared on earth-- -whether men or angel*. "Again on the morrow John was standinv, and two of his dls- clploc; and he looked upon Jesus SS hn walked, and Faith, Bi'holil, the l.amli of God! And the two dlnciples heard him spoak, and they followed .Jpsus." The word 'follow' expresses tlio sini>li> art ss their clioice was made defin- itely for all time. We Seek God "And Jesus turned, and beheld them follow injr, and saith unto them, what seek ye?" Christ will turn from none who in response to liis (|ut.iinn 'Whnt sick ye, 1 tan truly say 'We seek God. 1 "And they said unto him, Habbl (which is to say. lieintr interpret- ed, Teacher) where almlest thou? He snlth unln them, Tome, and ye shnll sec. They came thoveforp snd saw whi re lie al>o le; and they sbode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour." In Vomt- and see' (lure is n distinct call to the. personal act of faith. Com- ing to Christ i* trusting Him snd trusting Him is seeing Him, look ing up to Him. Peter'* Character "One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have- found the Messiah (which is. being interpreted, Christ). He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him and j>aid, Thou art Simon the son of John: Thou shall be called Cephas whi.-h is by interpretation, Peter)." The word Cephas means stone. The root of Peter's charac- ter was firmness, which, however, needed to be chastened before Simon eould be the man of rock. H did not always show this firm- ness, but Jesus holds up to him his ideal that he may ever aspire to It and believe in himself be- cause Christ believes in him. Filbert of Men "And pas.sintf alonjf by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and An- drew the brother of Simon cast- ing a net in the ea; for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come yc after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. And going on a little further, he saw James the son of '/,,,.. and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their net*. And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the) hired servants and went after them." How shall \vc become 'fisher* of men'? Xot by our own clever- ness or skill. If we want to be> successful fishers of men, we> must L'<> to Jesus Chritt for the) necessary qualification?. The question is often asked why Christ, for the most part, chose fishermen, and not men In political power, or great scholar*. For one thing these men were) not bound by the traditions of Judaea, and the Pharisees who dominated there; for another thing, they were men of robust health and rugged nature, who would be able to endure the great- est hardships in their preaching ministry. Moreover, there mue>t have been about these men a cer- tain simplicity which would not only commend them to tfhe Lord, but mark them as excellent channels for the outpouring of God's grace upon the Roman world; men who, once coming to a conviction, would be willing to endure everything to maintain it. Christ, both in His own life and In His teachings, teemed to rmve the greatest appreciation of the dig- nity of manual labor.

British Empire Closely Bound By Malcolm Blngay, In The Detroit Free Presi The word "Empire" is the tumbling: block for many who do not understand. There is noth- ing imperialistic about Canada or Australia or Xew Zealand or South Africa; or, for that matter, the United Kingdom in these dnys. The) people of the British Com- monwealth have worked out their erwn family destiny. They do not want the United States ss part of thtiir family any mor than we want them. That does not mean that we shall not continue ss good neighbors and staunch friends in a o-operative movement to restore world sanity. Scnic of Unity As that great Canadian, Ste- phen Leacock, said at the begin- ning f the war: "The British Empire was never so closely bound together as now, never so fur from thoughts of dissolution or secession and Is moving in its w peculiar path, Into s closer, more, organic union. . . . This new ens* of unity comes over us like new wave of consciousness. It palpitates in the common thought of the common people . . . they have not time for professional ar- guments . . . they seize by instinct the larged fact. ... We Just 'be- long.' " The United States and Great Britain do not have to marry to work together. They will be hap- pier snd more effective without the possibility of a divorce court. That is why all this talk about a World Government following this war is Just so much moonshine.' Call of Duty The people of Canada are as free and as individualistic as the people of the United States. They did not have to go into this war. . . . They went In offering up their life's blood for a reason which transcends all political documents and treaties. They went in be- cause, to them, it was a call of duty higher than any man-made law, to preserve the traditions of freedom they have found under the Hiltish Kmpire that Kmpirc which Mr. Churchill says he was not appointed to lit|uid:ne. I RADIO REPORTER FROST Canadian farms will need men, women and tchool-age youth, about 100,000 of them ell told, during the coming season. To help secure this vast amount of helpers the C.B.C. will shortly in- augurate a weekly series of broad- casts dramatising the need for as- listance in harvesting the 1043 crop of tomatoes, fruits, vege- tables, grain and other crops. The first broadcast in the scries en- titled "Help Wanted" will be hear:! Wednesday evening March 81*t at 7.30. The first few pro- gramme* of the projected s-jiv'S of twenty-eight will he directed to the parents of high school chil- dren, presenting the farm situa- tion, stressing- the emergency, and assuring them that the children who volunteer will have official attention and care. The pro- grammes will explain why, unless help in plenty is forthcoming, civilians will go short next winter of many of their customary food- stuffs. Calling all Gardeners! Offici- ally, spring is here, believe it or not. Cheer up, it won't be long now before you can get busy with rake, hoe and spade. In order to assist in solving food shortage problems this year, government authorities are urging the devel- opment of home, community vege- table plots as a contribution to tit* war effort. If Canadians want to have their full quota of lettuce and other good garden greens, tfcey will have to grow a Tew tilings on the Bide for their own r.eedp To encourage the grow- ing of home vegetables, the C.B.C. has just initiated a series of Gar- den Talks addressed especially to 1U women listeners.
