-4*1 1 LESSON X X^istUn Rett. â€" Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews, Chapter 4:1-11 • Golden Text â€" Cciue unto me, all .ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew .11:28. The Leston in Its Setting Time. â€" Our Lord's words of invi- • tation were uttered in December, ,A.D. 29. The date of the writing of the epistle to the Hebrews cannot be , definitely determined. It must be placed before the fall of Jerusalem, â-  probably about 68 A.D. . Place. â€" Our Lord's words were ut- tered in Peraea, east of the Jordan 'Elver, opposite Judaea- The place of the writing of the epistle to the 'Hebrews is disputed. The late Dr. J. Stuart Holden of 'St. Paul's, London., says of Matt. 11: 'ZS, 29: "This is perhaps the neatest ivord of the Evangel. It is majesty get to music for the lightening of overburdened and fevered lives. It Is heaven's heart's ease for healing «f sinning and sorrowful men. No pther of all the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth is conse- .erated so entirely by the e.xperience of thousands in every age as is this •ever-new invitation of the Son of God to the sons of men. 28. Come unto me. There is love •.in this invitation, and urgency, and a ^consciousness of ability to meet the needs of those who will come. Come .ye that labor and are heavy laden. 'Come unto Me, and I will give you 're.stl' All ye that are like over-car- .goed boats, whose minds are burden- ed v,-ith anxieties and cares, or with ' the heavy and • cf men, who swamped, living in perpetual fear of 'sumbission. Come unto Me, and I will five you rest.' Rest is that heart harmony with , God which qualifies men for life's en- gagements, for its ceaseless conflict â-  and conquest, for its fruitful toil, and for its noblest and highest purposes. '.umtoring traditions are nigh to being This is v/hat Christ came to effect in men. This is the object of all His work and the interpretation of all His passion. Invitation to Rest 29. Take my yoke upon you. . . . Christ takes upon Himself the one side of the yoke, ai.d He invites you to come and occupy the empty place beside Him. He is the meek and lowly one. He has been accustomed to the yoke. This is the divine yoke- fellow of whom you are to learn, mo- ving side by side with you, that you may imitate His patient endurance, His meekness and lowliness of spirit. And learn of me. We are to learn of the Lord Jesus first, by studying the portrait of him as revealed in the Gospels, and then by living the Christlike life, as the Spirit of Christ dwells in us, teaching, strengthening, san -^tif ying and gruiding us. For 1 am meek and lowly in heart. "The word 'meek' carries the idea of mild- ness and gentleness and the absence of self-vindicition, and retaliation of injury, and so it carries with it the conception of unselfishness. What is it to be lowly in heart? The lowly- minded man is down in a humble sphere, where he is content if he can only serve." And ye shall find rest unto your souls. Here is a promise, but there are specific conditions which must be met before the promise can be fulfilled; we first come to Christ, then we take his yoke upon us, and then we learn of him. When we have done these three things, we shall no longer be seeking rest. We shall have it. 30. For my yoke is easy, and my burdun is light. "The word render- ed 'easy' means agreeable and ser- viceable. If Christ's yoke ever galls the neck, it is because we do not work steadily in it." Rest For Christian Believers 1. Let us fear therefore. '"It is because we know the Father, it ia I 2 cause we are redeemed by the pre- cious blood of the Saviour, it is as Is This Your Birthdav ? By A. R.

IMPERIAL TOBACCO'S INSPIRING PROGRAM Every Frio'av NVht on a national coast to coast networfc. Dr. Limton Joseph P^visson, physicist on the staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, pictured in his laboratory, after notification that he was a joint winner, with Prof. George Paget Thomson, of London, of the Nobel award for physics. Dr. Kavisson and Prof. Thomson received their awards for their re- search in electronic interference. the children of God and as the saints of Christ that we are to pass our earthly pilgrimage in lear. This is not the fear which dreads condemna- tion, hot the fear of those who are saved and whom Christ has made free. Lest haply, a promise bemjj left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith 'Aith th-^m that heard. 3. For we who have be- lieved do enter into that rest. Tho- mas Carlyle, in his life of Schiller, speaks of unrest as "the never failing nimate of every human breast." This is true of everyone outside of the Lord Jesus Christ, but in Christ, if the New Vestament teaches anything, it teaches this, that, in believing, we are to have peace and joy. Here is one of the deepest, more precious themes of the word of God, some- thing which cannot be analyzed, but must be entered into by experience. Even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath. They shall not enter in- to my rest. These words are taken from Psalm 95: 11, and they refor to God's wordj to Israel, especially as regards her entrance into tlie Prom- ised Land. Had Israel fully follow- ed the explicit instructions of God in the matter of exterminating en- emy peoples, Israel would have had a complete rest from the exhaustiuij, taxing, rebellious invasions and up- risings of these pagan peoples. But there is certainly a deeper meaning here in the matter of rest â€" a rest fo; the souls of the Israelites, a true resting in God. Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise. And God rented on the seventh day from all his works; 5. And in this place again. They shall not enter into my rest. Ihese quotations are from Gen. 2:2 and Psalms 95:11. The rest of God is the expression of the pe;fect, di- vine complacency in the perfect, di- vine work. A Special Day 6. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience. 7. Ho again defineth a certain d»y, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before). Today if ye shall hear his voice, hard- on not your hearts. 8. For if Joshua had jrivon them rest, ho would not have spoken afterward of another day. !>- There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

In an- swer to many requests, we are go- ing to tell you about the program â€" Ask Another. It is heard Fridays, 10:00 o'clock over CFRB and brings to the microphone such people as Howard Lindsay, he who ask an- other, Wally A '-.nour and his orches- tra, George, the capable a-ssistant, Mis.s Rhoda Howe who interviews those present •ho think they know the answers to the questions, and those who think they have tough questions to ask. Here's the idea! Y'ou send in what you think if a dif- ficult question. If your question is used on the program, you receive a Prize Package- If your question is not answered by those present at the studio, you also receive a salute by the orchestra- The audience at the studio must answer the questions â€" and those who do, al.so receive a Prize Package. Apparently it's lots of fun. for this program is in its second year, and is still going strong. If you wish tickets, just write to ".\sk Another'' in care of CFRB. Inc'dentally. the prize pack- age consists of a glass jar of pow- der, a giant jar of cold cream, a largo jar of vanishing cream, and a bottle of Cream Lotion, so if you la- dies are interested in looking beau- tiful â€" why not send in a question? Musical Mysteries The musical mysteries program is back on the air again with a two- piano team. The station is CFRB and the time 10 p.m. Frank Grant and Celia Huston do the ivory-tick- I'ng- We have heard this team work on many occasions before, and we don't mind telling ycu that we think they uo a fine bit of work. • • * Lovers of sport broadcasts will be glad to learn that Wes- McKnight's sport feature is offering a new ser- ies of sport books. Tune in to CFRB toil, nor to inaction or iniiolence; but to the rest which is possible amid swift activity and strenuous work; it is perfect equilibrium between out- • 'injcs and incomint"s of life; it is a ntented heart; it is peace that pass- e.h all understanding, it is the re- pose of 01 1 will in the will of God." 10. For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his v.-orks. as God did from his. 11. Let i;.s therefore give diligc:ice to enter into that rest, that n;> i:;an fall after the sair.e example cf disobedience. "The e.st-en.e cf sin is that sin cen- tres in self instead of God. We t!y to help ourselves instead of throwing our burdc:\ of sin and care and sor- row upon the great Giiiboaier and the Man of Sorrows, v.ho v.-as ac- quainted v.'ith giief. Now, v.hen we come to Christ, we abandon all this self-help, and ask Him to be our help- er; we abandon all this self -trust and lean on His finished work. We stop laboring to build up our own inter- ests, and we are taken up with the interests of His kingdom. Y'ou shall never find rest until you find rest in ceasing from your own works, as God did from His, and entering into the Sabbath of rest that remains for the people of God, in this way." .Around lh.e Dial RADIO HEADUNERS OF THE WEEK By FRANK DENN S Mon.iays to Fridays at 6:40 p.m. and Saturaays at 7 p.m. The Sat- urday broadcasts consists of inter- views with hockey stars â€" and their opinions of the g:ame for the even- ing are expressed- Interesting side- lights are also given- Incidentally, Wes McKnight's sport feature is one of the longest run radio programs of any in Canada. • • • Vox Pop at Hockey Gaines Stan Francis is doing a vox pop during the intermissions at the NHL Hockey games at the Maple Leaf Gardens.
