LESSON FOR MARCH 25
JESUS THE WAY TRUTH AND
LIFE
(Hevlew)
SCnirrimE LEWHON-Read John 14 1
1-14
UOLDKN TEXT-Josus aallh unla aim
I am th way tha truth and ths Ilfs no
man cumelh unto thu fathor but by lue
—John 11:4
The purpose of John's gospel Is re-
veuled la John 20:31 It was to prove
that Jesus Is the Christ the Sou of
God and to prove It In such a way
that men might believe It In their
benrts and thus obtain through tliut
belief eternal life In Ills name There-
fore tha best method of review for
the lessons of the pust qunrter would
be to go over the lessons one by one
and find out how It Is thut this great
truth which brings life to men Is Il-
lustrated In eucli of the severul les-
sons The object of such a review
should be to make Jesus as real to ns
as if we were with him and Ills disci-
ples and could reullze that the Word
Is now dwelling among us full of
grace and truth giving dully of his ful-
ness and “grace for grace” (Ch 1 :14-
16) Jesus Is “the way” the way
to heaven the way to all that Is high-
est and best on earth the way of life
the way to the Father the goal of all
human aspirations the way out of all
human darkness and sin the way to
holiness and to God Jesus is also the
truth the revealed truth about God
He revealed the forgiveness of God for
the sins of men the right way of liv-
ing Jesus Is the life the source of
life the life itself the true life here
on earth and the eternal life which Is
to abide forever Thus our entire re-
view centers about Jesus Christ It
would be good to have a map chiefly
of the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee
to use la this review
Lesson I Jesus the Life and Light
of Men This Is the central truth of
the gospel Note the pre-existence of
Jesus Christ ns the eternal Word “In
the beginning with God” Then again
we see It a£ plainly showing forth or
declaring him to be God We see him
also as the Creator of all things
Lesson II John the Baptist This
is a lesson of John’s testimony to Jesus
as the Son of God also that Jesus was
the Lamb of God eternal pre-existent
the One who was baptized by the Holy
Ghost showing us the real nature of
Jesus as the Word of God Describe
who and what he was and did that
made him the perfect Savior
Lessoh III The First Disciples of
Jesus Andrew and ’Philip discovered
the Hessiflh of whom Moses and the
prophets did write and revealed him
unto Nathaniel who discovered In
Jesus the Son of God and the ifing of
Israel Relate how Jesus found these
disciples their names and their char-
acteristics and why each one was espe-
cially fitted for his particular work
Lesson IV His Father’s House
Jesus manifesting himself as the Son
of God the Father was the Ruler of
God’s bouse and drove from It those
who defiled it by making that house a
house of merchandise
Lesson V The Savior of the World
Jesus as the only begotten Son of God
can give eternal life to those who be-
lieve on him Describe the character
of Nicodemus what It means to be
born again and what Is meant by be-
ing born of water and of the spirit
Lesson VI The Woman of Samaria
Jesus declared himself to this -woman
as the Christ and also as the giver of
eternal life therefore he was God
Referring to the last lesson emphasize
wliat Jesus meant ty his reference to
Moses and the brazen serpent and
bring out the fact that the water of
which he speaks Is the gift of everlast-
ing life
Lesson VII The Nobleman’s Son
Jesus made his glory to be seen a sec-
ond time in Cana of Galilee by healing
sickness although not present at the
bedside of the sick one Healing and
faith are co-partners
Lesson VIII The Pool of Bethesda
Again Jesus manifests his power by
healing by his bare word the man who
had been infirm thirty and eight years
and who was utterly helpless and hope-
less Bring out how the man showed
his faith Explain why Jesus should
say to him : “Sin no more lest a worse
thing befall thee”
Lesson IX Five Thousand Fed Di-
vine power multiplying the loayes and
fishes and divine prudence in assemb-
ling the fragments reveals the unques-
tionable creative act of the power of
Jesus Christ as perhaps none other of
his - miracles Emphasize the part
which the boy played In co-operating
with Christ
' Lesson X The Bread of Life Jesus
Is the Dread of Life as well as the giv-
er of everlasting life He is the Bread
of Life which cometh down from heav-
en and the one going'to whom we shall
never hanger nor thlrsL v-
Lesson XI Jesus Saves From Sin
Jesus the Light of the World has pow-
er to set men free from sin and “whom
the Son shall make free Is free In-
deed” In this lesson we have the slav-
ery of sin and the freedom of believ-
ers True faith Is built upon facts and
those who accept and believe on these
facts have “everlasting life”

I took Cardui I took three bottles In
all and It aurely cured me of those
awful headaches That has been three
years ago and I know the cure Is per-
manent for I have never had any
headache since taking Cardui

AMERICAN SHOES IN MOSCOW
Even With Freight and Import
Charges Added Prices Lower
Than Russian Footwear
American shoes which were put on
sale In Moscow late in the autumn
seem to have made a good Impression
remarks Russia a Journal of Russlnn-
American trade The Journal of the
'All-Russian Company of Tanneries
says of them: “Shoes Imported from
America have appeared on the market
In Moscow Some firms have already
put them on sale and speak very hltV
ly of them The workmanship of the
shoes seems to first Impression to be
rough but the prices (In spite of the
fact that the price of footwear hns
risen by 25 per cent In America) plus
the import duty and cost of transpor-
tation are lower by two or three
rubles a pair ($1 to $150) than cur-
rent Russian prices One Is forced
to believe that the Import of these
shoes must Increase In the near future
although on the other hand It must
be regarded as a handicap that the
American supplier makes It a condi-
tion that a third of the cost must be
paid in cash at the time the order Is
taken and the (balance of the money
on the arrival of the goods at
Vladivostok"

Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer who has filed on the land to
apply as residence duties the same as if he actually had lived on it
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties Two years instead of three as heretofore but
only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output A won-
derful ooportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same
time Canadian Government 'will pay all fare over one cent per
mile from St Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination Information
