TUE father's house, J&hll 14: 1-0. iNVRwrcTio.vâ€" Our hope for the futur« life rests on the fact of th« Resurre<'tion of Christ, which is as- stnied throiJifhout the New Testament an the foundation on which the Chris- tian church rests. There are diffor- ences in the .sevi-ral narratives of the (08]>el'i, but these d> not inyalidato the main account. I THE VISIT or THE WOMEN, I.uke 24: 1-12. V. 1. The evidence of the resurrec- tion heigns with the visit of the women very early on the first day of the week. They had no idea that Jestis had risen, but were come to pay the last respects to their beloved Master. V. 2. liifferent places have l>een de- scribed as the Bc«ne of thij great act. Most think it occurred in what is now the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but many prefer the site of Gordon's Cal- vary, with the garden near by. Here there was a rock-hewn tomb, where the stone would be rolled up against the opening. Evidently the women were wondering how they could re- move this. V. 4. The angels which are mcn- tl.ined in all the accounts are hero said to havo tho appearance of men. There ii* a measure of lebuke in these words to the women, a^ if they ahould have remembered the express promise of Jesus that he would rise on the third day. V. C. In the other gospels reference is made to the appearance in (ialilee, Mark 14: 28; but in Luke reference is made in this verse to the words spoken of his resurrection during his earlier ministry in Galilee (see Luke V. <). We must read .John 20: 2 and Matt. 18: 8, from which passage we learn that Mary Magdalene had run from the sepulchre to tell Peter and John of the removal of the stone, .so that she had nut .seen the angels then. 'J'he .silrnee mentioned in .Mark Iti: R, may be explained by the fact that while Mary told the apostles, the others were at f.rst so overcome with fear that they did not mention it at that time. Afterwards, however, they s;K»ke of it. V. 10. In the other gospels these names aie placed at the beginning of the account. They all put Mary Mad- dalene first. John mentions no other directly, l>ut implies the presence of others, John 20: 2. The threo synop- tists mention Mary the mother of Jesus. ^'. 11. In all gospels the report is received with doubt. There is no evi- dence that the disciples were in an expectant mood. If they recalled the â- words of Jesus about his resurrection, they likely applied these to his return afterwards in glory. They clid not think of his dead body coming back fro mthe grave. V. 12. This is de.scribcd more fullv in John 20: 2-9. The position of the clothing is evidence of the way in which the resurrection took place. The physical boiiy was transformed into a apiritual body, ;.nd the linen clothes dioppcd down on the stone. II. TIIK |-,VTIIER'S IIOLSE, John 14: l-G. \'. 1. Few passages in tho New Testament ar more widely known, or hav« brought more comfort tl an this chai)ter. 'i'he minds of the disciples tire greatly disturbed over the impend- ing departure of Josua, and they enn- jiot see any way out of their" diffi- culties. This passage consists of an- swers given to the several questions mit by the <lisciples, and all of these bear upon the statement of Jesus that ho is about to leave thein. He gives them the assuring .statement that he is going to his Father's house, but only that he may make ready for their ar- rival when the time comes, The one duty of the disciples is to have faith in the Lord. V. 2. Heaven is here described -s the abode of God tho Father, where he is seen in all his l)erliclioti. .lesus hud to use earthly figures to «k'scril)e this place, and he likens it lo a great royal palace, where there are many different rcoms. There will bo a j)lace for all ill that heavenly home. It is pi ssible that the word mansion may 111- translated "stations," as if there were many jilaccs where the heavenly pilgiims may stop for a while. The follow on patiently, hoping soma day to arrive at the same goal. V. 6. Jesus definitely states in v. 7, that they should have known him bet- ter. However, he answers the ques- tion by giving one of the greatest .sentences in all our ('hristian faith, "I am the way, tho truth, and the life," He is the true, living way. He is the only road by which pilgrims may come to the Father's house. "To konw Christ is to know all, to know both the goal and the way." China's Navy to Expand President Chiang, at Launch- ing. Advances Cruiser Program Shanghaiâ€" President ("hiang Kai- shek recently visited Shangliai to at- tend tho launching of a new Chinese guubuat at the (ilangnau dockyards, the same Kovornment dockyards that, strangely euoiii;h, not long ago com- pleted several gunboats tor the United States Navy to operate on our Yangtze Illver patrol. In his address at the launching President Chliing ajioke of tho Import- ance of Increasing the Chinese Navy, and said he Intended to do all In his power to get the government Iq pass appropriations for a large crufser- building program. The Chinese press came out with long stories on tho President's support of a "big navy" program. The Chinese Navy long has been something of a sore point with patri- otic CUinese. It actually does not amount to much as It stands today, they are forced to admit. It Is also a fact that not a single vital engage- ment at sea took place during tlio entire revolution, and no military commander was at any timo definitely sure of where the naval olllcera stood.

Car Tourists Spend Millions On Visits Into Canada Number of Cars Entering Dominion is 10 Times as Great as 1 5 Years ago Torontoâ€" The tourist trade It be- comliii; one of Canada's largest in- dustries. Visitors from the United Slates In 1928 left la the Dominlou $277,7ri4,000, the IJomininn bureau of statistics estimates. This Is an in- crease of $:!5,0O0,O()O over 1027. Onl:!vio and Quebi^c divided tUa greater part of the revenue derived from liolidaying Americans. But every province across Canada »ho\ved an in- crease in the influx. A total ot o.G-tj,' .'>,").'i United States cars entered Can- ada, an increase of 500,000 over the ripvious year. .â- \cttially the number of cars which entered Canada In 192S was just fif- teen times as great as ten yeir ago. The rapid development of tho tourist traffic in the last three years Is shown by a gain o! more than 1,500.000 In the number of cars visiting Canada annually. With revenue reaching up In the hundreds of millions, the tourist traf- fic now is being treated as big busi- nesa. In Ontario millions are being spent to cater to United States vlsl- toni both by the government and in- dividna's. Summer resorts are expanding to hugo proportions. The government has now before the legislature a meas- ure creating a dozen new forest re- serves, the chief object of wliich Is catering to the tremendous demand for lake playground. The new policjr is combine forest conservation and tourist accommodation. It has even been proposed that the government enter into the tourist business by cou- atriicting its own camps tor anglers in its own reservations. The Ferguson highway, which threa years ago opened the new north to the motorist, has lured the visitora from below the border further and further north.

There will be maple highways, cherry highways, ironwood highways ,cedar roads, balsam roads and red pine roads. Then the whole system of little town hotels is being overhauled.
