PRINTED TEXT, Matt. 13: S4â€" 14: 4; IS: 29-31. GOLDEN TEXT â€" Ye are my friaads, if ya io the thing* which I command yon. John 15: 14. TIME â€" The rejection at Naz- areth occurred in the winter of AJ>. 29; the earlier miracles of this atory through the end of Chapter 14 took place in April AJ>. 29 ; the later miracles and the rabnke of the Pharisees and Sad- doeeea occurred in the summer of , the same year. -.PLACE â€" Nazareth was the city where Jesud lived most of his life, iB northern Galilee. John the Bap- tist was martyred at Machaerus, OB the north-east shore of the Dead Sea. The miracle of healing the daughter of the Syrophoen- ieiaB woman occurred near the cities of Tyre and Sidon on the Mediterranean coast; the walking on the water vccurred on the Sea of Galilee. Rejected In Own City 64. And coming into his own c»ttntry he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, "Whence hath this man this wis- dom, these mighty words? 65. Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, aad Simon, and Judas? 56. And hit sistefs, are they not all with as? Whence then hath this man all these things? 57. And they â€"vere offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. 58. And he did not many mighty works therie because of their un- belief. Murder of John Baptitt Matt. 14. 1. At that season Hex- ed the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus, 2. and said unr to his servants. This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these pow- ers work in him. 3. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. 4. For John said unto him. It is not lawful for thee to have her. The death of Christ's herald was a certain portent of the re- jection and crucifixion of the King. (The Herod of our lesson, called Herod Antipas, was the son of Herod the Great who "ordered the slaughter of the babes of Bethlehem). Herod, knowing that he was wrong in this marriage with his brother's (still living) wife, and too weak a man to re- sist the will of Salome and her scheming mother, Herod gave or- ders for John the Baptist to be executed. Jesus immediately with- drew into a desert place on being biformed of the martyrdom of his forerunner by wjjom he had been hapttzed. Miracle* By the Sea 29. And Jesus depai-tcd thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee: and he sent up into the monntain, and sat there. 30. And there came unto him great multi- tudes, having with then) the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them. .11. Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the hUnd seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel. Thousands of hooks have been written about the yereon and work and life and character of the Son of God, of whoM life the events of so few 4$ig» are known; and yet we have aot exhausted the infinite, unfath- omable wealth of those days when he walked among us in the flesh. Still great multitudes come to him today: moral cripples that they lBi|{ht walk in the way of the Lord; the spiritually blind, that they might behold the Lord in his beauty; the paralyzed of speech to become witnesses of his grace; the hopeless to receive joy; the lost to have their names written in the Lamb's book of life. Opposition To Christ We discover in this lesson the rising opposition to the Lord Jes- us Christ, which finally led to the cross. We are living in a day when there is a similar rising tide of opposition to the Christ of the New Testament, and it is inter- esting to see here the character- istics and manifestations of such opposition which are parallelled by the antagonism against Christ which we find today on every hand. Christ won when he was on earth, and Christ will win in the conflict against him today.

RADIO NOTES AND NEWS By MAOGE ARCHER WELCOME TO 1940 NBC broadcasts the ten biggest news stories of the year at 2 p.m. EST., on New Year's Eve under the heading of "Headlines of '1939." The program will be in dramatic form and will last for one hour. Needless to say there has been more than enough ma- terial to make up the script. It will not all be war material, how- ever, for there is the tragedy of the Squalus, the Corrigan and Hughes flights and the new Eng- land hurricane to draw upon. A minute before the New Year begins (11.59 p.m. EST., on Dec- ember 31, 1939) Mutual micro- phones will be opened up on Times Square, New York City, to catch Broadway's welcome to 1940. All networks will parade their dance bands the same evening on an overnight celebration. For five hours from 11 p.m., EST., the boys will keep the musi^ going.

Her total trained man power is esti- mated at between 800,000 and 900,000 men. This man power is now being called up gradually as Sweden prepares to fight invasion if she must. Save Space When Building A Home Woman Architect Says Corrid- ors Are the Biggest Space- Eaters â€" Advises Elimina- tion of Halls AutomoMIes from Detroit hebif transported on the Great Lafcef A boom-time Great Lakes shipping se.ison which, at its height, put into commission every available steamer, has just drawn to a close. The 1989 season wiped out unemployment among Great Lakes mari- ners and, shippers believe, will hiave resulted in shipment of 70,000,000 tons up and down the inland waterways. The major cargoes are iron ore and grain downbound and coal upbound. POPâ€" And This Leaves Pop the Winner Declaring that home-seekers pay too much attention to the style of houses and give too little thought to the purposes they are supposed to serve, Elizabeth Coit, noted New York architect, advo- cates an "objective viewpoint" in building or buying a place to live in. Women, she says, should think of prospective homes in terras of functional uses, such as eating, sleeping, entertaining, cooking, or washing, and not merely as com- binations of rooms. Plenty of Closet* ifixtensive researcli worii in eco- nomical design and constructiun has convinced Miss Coit that "cor- ridor space is one of the biggest space eaters in the average house. Through the elimination of halls, the builder may either re- ducH the over-all dimensions and I'ubie coiiieiils of the house, or e!s« increase the size of the rooms. So woman will admit that .space can be saved by providing fewer closets. Miss Coit says, but the fact r«mainh that closet.s can ba located in otherwise useless spots â€" some shallow and. others deep, This Curious World f'I â„¢'r I ^«6^.
