4 91 FF . | SUNDAY SCHOOL il LESSON Hi LESSON 1V Chrictlan Renewal -- John 10:7-16; Titus 3:11:11 Printed Tet Titus 3:1-11 COLDEN TEXT -- "For.the grace of Cod hath appeared, bringing salva- tion to all men." -- Titus 2:11. THE LESSON IN ITS BETTING a) Time -- The words of our Lord pore uttered in October, A.D., 29. The pistle to Titus was written shortly beforé the martyrdom of St. Paul. pro- bably A.D. 66. Place -- Our Lord's' words were ut- ~tered in Jerusalem. The Epistle of Paul to Titus was written from Rome to Titus who was residing in the is- land of Crete. = Join Ruskin has well said. "There is no wealth but life." The question might well be asked by every man, in the quiet ¢f an hour when he is alone with himself and with God: "What would I consider to be the richest, ful- lest possible life for myself, it' 1 could have everything in the world I should wish to choose?" Then he might follow this question with an- other: "Is my life today as rich, deep, full, and satisfying as it can be?" John 10:7-16. The central statement tn this lesson assigned to us from the tenth chapter of John, as it relates t~ the general subjact of orr lesson for today, is fourad at the end of verse 10, *I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly," The reason why Christ {s able to bestow abundant life upon men fs be- causéf on the one hand, he delivers men from all those powers which rob them of life. He delivers from the pow- er of sin, the power of Satan, and-the power of death. He is able to do this because he lived sinless'y and can give victory. The abundant life which we have In Christ extends into every sphere of our personality, -- Our Lord came also to glve us more abundant intellectual life. We can hardly imagine today the mental dark- ness of the world into which our Lord came. . More Abundant Life Most of all; Christ is able, and he only. to give to men a rich, more abun- dant, overflowing spiritual life. He alone brings God into the life of man. The epistle of Parl to Titus was written to him while he was working - 23 a disciple of Christ and a laborer in the church in the island of Crete. "Put them in mind to be in subjec- tin to rulers; to authorities, to be ob- cd ont." The reference here is prinef: pally to Roman officers who were in authority in the island of Crete. "To_. be ready unto every good work." Good works have nothing to do with the cer- tainty of our being saved, but good works certainly ought to be a part of the experience of everyone who is saved. : "To speak evil of no man." There is probably no greater sin among the children of God than speaking evil one "of" another, and this vicious habit the © New Testament continually denounc- es. "Not to be contentious." Literally, this means not to be fighters. "To be - gentle, showing all meekness toward all men." . "For .we' also once 'were foolish." That is. acting without understanding, stupidly, without discernment, which is a characteristic of every sinner. "Disobedient." Both to God's laws, and the laws of magistrates and rulers, ~ "Deceived." As in 2 Tim. 3:13, either by the devil ot by the false. opinions of men. "Serving divers lusts and pleasures." With a sort of grim humor St. Paul here flaslies a sudden light on what is called 'a life of pleasure, and shows what a slavéry it really is. "Living in malice and:envy, hateful, hating one another." Are not hatred _and envy the cause of nearly all-mur-- ders. and most of the lies that people tell about others, and, ultimately, the cause of war itself? "But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, ap- peared." Of course this Ig a direct re- ference to the incarnation of the Son of God, for God's love for the world was Bo great that he sent his'only be- gotten Son. Until that time men hard- ly knew, and nevor-knew in all the wealth of its meaning: that God in heaven loved sinners on earth, . Waching of Regeneration "Not by works done in righteous- ness, which we did ourselves." All the 'good works done in righteousness, are worthy and commendable but they can never save us. "But according to his mercy he saved us." The mercy of "God is simply his knowledge of our desperate need, and his delivering us from the fearful consequences of our desperate condition. "Through the washing of regeneration." Literally, our word regeneration simply means born again. Most commentators make the word washing to refer to baptism, However, baptism does not save us, but is a symbol of the washing away of our sins. which takes place when we are born again, = [ It is that gradual conforming of the mind, more and more, to that new spir- ftual world into which he has been ifn- troduced; the restoration of the divine image. * "Which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Sa- viour." All the spiritual blessings of the new birth and of the new life are represented as flowing down to ts from and out of the one fountain and wellspring of the love of God the IFather. S'nner Declared Just "That, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." To be jus- tified is to be declared just, and, in the epistles of Paul, it means that a sinner before the throne of holy God is declared just or righteous. "Faithful is the saying, and con- cerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works, These things are good and profitable unto men." Good works are simply doing those things that bring good and blessing to other people. There are good works on a strictly materialistic basis, such as supplying clothes, food, shelter, and relief in phys'cal distress, minister- ing to the sick, and the lonely, and the impoverished; but there are good works on a higher plane, such as un- folding the word of God to those who do not know it, bringing comfort in an hour of tragedy, leading others out of darkness into light, ignorant men and women, pray:ng with others and for others, faithfulness to those who need us, ete. That great pas- sage in Tim. 3:16, 17 reveals the su- preme spirituality of what we call good works, and no man can do good works unless he is a believer in the Lord Jesus. Notice especially the word "careful." The word implies two things: "Bring your brains to bear on these truths that are being thus constantly examined; bring them into your hearts through your minds, that they may filter into the shape the life. Carefulness means the occupation of the mind with the truths that produce holiness of life. And then, secondly, there must be a direct and continuous effort to in- crease our faith. "But shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain." -- "A factious man." The word in- | - dicates a man who is determined to go his own way, and so forms par- ties and factions in the church. "Af- ter a first and second admonition re- fuse; Knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self- condemned. The meaning seems to be that, after a first attempt to in- _duce this person to desist--from -his- perverse and self-willed conduct, Ti- tus is to waste no more time on him, because he knows his efforts will be useless. agian "It is a kindly fate that has not given us' the gift of seeing ourselves as others see us." --Will Durant, C---3 New Lord Mayor of London A ------------------ With centuries-old ssvenlony at the Guilrhall, Sir Harry Twyford was a elected to be next Lord N t yor of London. service was held at the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry.

The other day we slipped into the studios of CI'RB, and gum-shoed our way into a studio . .. and what do you think we found--NRoy Locks- ley and an unknown lad. Roy telis us that_the lad is Joseph Laderoute --a new comer to radio--and Joseph has one of the finest tenor voces we have ever heard, We umterstand that Joseph is taking the tenor lead in the Mendelssohn Choir Concert ia the very near future. Laderoute or- iginally comes from the Sault. Cur best wishes to you, Joseph. Grad Presentation Another new voice to come on the air in recent programs is that of Jack Barkin. Jack sang in Toronto some years ago, at which time he started on a night club tour. Now he is back for the Grad Cigarette Broad- cast. Congratulations are in order in Jack's case, for a week ago, the stork paid the Barkins a visit.

A Hurricane "Good-bye. Hope you run into a hurricane!" This sounds a strange "God-speed" to departing airmen, but actually it was what they wished themselves. For the two airmen, giv- en such a strange good-bye, formed an expedition setting out from Bos- ton, Massachusetts, to study weather conditions. Success depended upon their being ablé to make observations of a hurricane, MILD BRIGHT ' TOBACCO {BIG PACKAGE CIGARETTE INTHE TINS 25¢ China Prejudiced Against Actors China, land of ancient prejudices, has one prejudice: against actors which dies hard. Until recent years, the law and tra- dition classed actors with boatmen and slaves, strictly forbidding them to marry into higher grades of socie- ty. Their children were not allowed to sit for examinations giving entry into civil service posts. The law for- bade them to wear garments of silk spun by domesticated caterpillars; the silk had to be that from wild co- coons, of the sort used for making fishing-nets. Actors were not allowed to wear furs. If they had even worn a slight- ly bedraggled rabbit-skin collar they would have been punished by a pub- lic whipping with bamboos. Only sheepskins or goatskins were allowed as a lining for the actor's winter coat. And one of the chief missions of a marriage go-between was to ascer- tain that neither the prospective bride nor groom of middle-class or- igin had a taint of leprosy or lunacy --or was related to an actor. Insurance for Thieves A thieves' insurance company, consisting of 3,000 members, has been operating in Warsaw, Poland.

Elimination con- tests are being run from local thea- tres at Galt, Guelph, Chatham, Brant- ford, Woodstock, Sarnia, Hamilton and other points west. The winners are heard on the Sunday noon ama- teur hour. Arrangements have been made for the u'timate winner to visit Hollywood for screen tests. Who knows--there may be another Garbo or Barrymore. We think this series of programs is really giving Canadi- an talent an opportunity. If any of our readers would like to compete, just write Ken Soble at CFRB, To- ronto. From down below the border comes word that Murray MacEcheran, To- ronto trombonist who joined the ranks of Benny Coodman's Swinge- roos has left that musical organiza- tion to join Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra. This brings a couple more of Toronto's musicians together. Glen Gray, if you recall, some years ago formed his bani in Toronto. and played at the Casa Loma when it vos turned into a hotel. Two-Tiano Team Just spoke to Lou Snider of the famous "piano team of Snider and loss. He informs us that they will put on a fifteen minute program over the CRCT, Commission and Mu- tual networks gn Thursday, October 28 at 8:15. A recall the first time these boys played their first two pi- ano program and we are really tick- led with the progress they have made. They cre also heard on the Grad Cizaretie Show on Iriday eveaings with Roy Loclksicy's orchestra. From down below came the inau- guration of the 12th consecutive seca- son on the air of the "Voice of Ni- agara" program, featuring the Car- borundum Band and age old Indian legends related by Francis D. Bow- man. This is one of the pioneer commercial programs. The programs are heard from 7.30 to 8.00 Satur- days over the CBS web.

The program is aired Thursdays over the Columbia set from 10:00 to 10:30. Bees to Take Florida Trip Canny Owners Put Them on A Twelve-Month Production Schedule Millions of bees are joining the Flor- fda trek this year but {t's not their idea, They are being 'brought down (probably against their will) by canny owners who want to deprive them of their long winter holiday and put them on a 12-month production schedule, The Florida Beekeepers' Association reported last week this seasonal mi- gration, started tentatively a few years ago, is reaching heavy volume this season, Phil Taylor, supervising inspector for the state department of agricul- ture, said Florida has a bee popuja- tion of more than 5,000,000 and they don't loaf. They huzz out in search of nectar for their 100.000 queens every day in the 'year. Sometimes they land on an automo- bile driver instead of a flower. That makes them angry. Right now there is a driver in a Deland Hospital with five fractdred ribs. A bea got in his car, he tried to dodge it, lost control, hit a pole, Actor's Voice : Follows Him New Talking Movie Film Males Conversation Mcre Lifelike A new talking movie film in which the actor's voica moves around the screen with his figure was demonstrat- ed to the Society of Motion Picture en- gincers, at New York, If the screen figure spoke fram the left of the pleture, his voice came from the left side of the house, The answer of a figure on the opposite s!da of the screen came from the right side of the house.

Threatened King, Is Now Outcast McMahcn Plans to Change His Name Since People Shun Him jeorge Andrew McMahon, freed a few weeks ago from Vandsworth, Lon- don, England. jail after serving his 12 months' sentence for "producing a revolver with intent to alarm the King" -- now Duke of Windsor -- plans to change his name. He said: "Wherever I go they point at me and whisper, "There is the man who tried to shoot the King" "Even when I went with my wife to a hotel in Scotland people shunned us and tried to snub us. They asked the proprietor to turn us out. Some actually left the hotel sooner than stay there with us. "But for the hotelowner's kindness ,we would have been forced to go. He told me that he saw no reason why we -- especially my wife -- should be victimized. "No One Will Have Us" "We came back from Scotland to find a new flat in London. The house in which we have been living for more than four years is being demolished. The landlord gave us an excellent re- ference. "But no one will have us. We actual: ly booked three flats and paid depos- its. But when they discovered I was the McMahon who was sentenced for producing a revolver they wrote and sald they could not have us. They re- turned the deposits. "In each case they admitted that the references were satisfactory. There is only one thing to do -- find another name and keep my past a so- cret." Decline of British Stock In Australia X @* Australia's permanent foreign pop- ulation is increasing but persons of British stock are declining in the Commonwealth. This situation is re- vealed by statistics for the March quarter of the present year, em- bracing all the States, Among the new permanent settlers Italians and Greeks predominate; 357 Greeks ar- rived to settle permanently and only 36 departed, a net gain of 321. The permanent Italian population was in- creased by 267. Net gains of other aliens were Germans, 65; Albanians, 50; French, 28; Dutch, 21; Czechos slovakians, 19; Swiss, 16; Belgians, 10. During the period covered per- manent arrivals of British people to« taled 2,263, but permanent depart- ures were 2,661, a net loss of 898, o re aA OWE 3 PPA N es For alien y, 4
