Two of the greatest truths of the Bible are contained in two simple phrases--"In the beginning God" (Genesis 1:1); and "In the beginning was the word" (St. John 1:1:). truths are that God is the Creator and I'ather of everything and that God is love. The greatest love that man hs for another -has been exémplified in the sacrifice made by many of our loved ones. We thank God for them, but also look to our own need. the darkness". To-day, when disputes are afoot in Syria and Trieste; when countless millions in Iurope "are eagerly peering through the dark clouds of starvation, discase and cold, looking to their liberators to provide "light"; when the dark clouds of Japanese militarism hang over the Pacific and the Far East; when statesmen are striving after light in San Francisco; now more than ever we need that sustaining and guiding power which God alone can give, St. John, as he wrote the Gospel, felt very keenly the love of God, which was brought most fully to the eyes of men by the sending to men of His Son Jesus Christ, The love of God the Father was, from all eternity, poured out" upon the Son, who was 2 ae all Those The most | urgent necessity for us, now as never before, is that "light that shineth in (i. Bruton with Him and part of His very sub- stance. God did not make the earth before He began to love. He did not put life upon the earth and then say, "I am going to learn to love these things". No, love is in the very es- sential nature of God. Because he had fished with Jesus, and worked and talked with Him, St, John was inspired by the greatness of God's love. He could feel that love because of his comradeship of Jesus, Was Jesus divine? Yes, He was. But what is still of infinite im- portance for us is that "the Word bs. came flesh and dwelt among us! Yes, Jesus became man to reveal to us the Divine Love and Light and Truth, "In Him was Life, arid the life was the light of men" (St. John 1:4). That light was "the true light which lighteth every man coming into the world", As many as believe in Jesus Christ "He gave them the right to become the children of God". The strength of our civilization de- pends upon our belief in Christianity. Without the love of God in individuals and nations our whole social structure will crumble, We must turn again to the Scripture and to the Church and find again for ourselves the "light that shineth in the darkness",--the beacon-light that leads and supports us by love into life, IS Tn GN TTI IN THEY HAD A GOOD TIME!
