Then, in the fourth quarter, we | shall return to wwe New Testament | tor a series of studies in the Christian life. The first lesson forthe year is {ro mthe prolog of John's Gospel: The philosophical and mystical exposition of the reality of the eternal Christ, the Word that was in the beginning identified with God in ciaracter and creation, the source of life and light, the Word that became flesh incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth, full of grace and truth. John the Baptist was witness to this Bearer of Lift and Light, whose way he had come to prepare; and John, the author of this gospel, sets forth in this remarkable book to bear witniess both before and after the earthly ministry of Jesus. He ha sset himself the great task of recording the things that Jesus did and said, the fullness of which, if he suggests,

of the world. Through charvcter and incidents, he unfolds sentence by sentence, chapter by charter, the testimony to Jesus, the Son of. God, and to the reality of the salvation that He brought to men.

i ” n ” HE Gospel of John presents a * succession of witnesses: The witness of John the Baptist, and of Andrew, and Peter, as they bring others to Jesus that they may hear His words of love; the witness of Jesus Himself in the great words df the third chapter; the witness of His mighty works; the witness of His foes in the violence with which they opposed His work of healing and salvation; and the witness of the closing days of His life in intimate association with His disciples with all testimony coming to a climax in His death and resurrection, and His appearance to the disciples, reviving their faith. Here in the prolog, like a well ordered and careful writer, John is setting forth his thesis, the things that his gospel is going to prove: That Jesus came into the world as an incarnation of God, revealing life and light, giving to those who receive Him the right to become children of God, uplifting men into all the glory of their divine heritage: and relationship. ”n n 2 T is the story of a Saviour who dwelt among men full of grace and truth, bringing something higher than law, in life and the

seen Fod at any time.” But with this unseen God there may be the reality of a deep communion, for the Father is not seen by mortal eyes, but the eyes of the soul have seen the beauty of His love and grace, It is a marvelous thesis. But it is no more marvelous than the. life that is its proof, for not only in this gospel, but in. other gospels as well we have the details of that early life of the Master.

They may vary as to the nature | {and meaning of that life, but the | world has acknowledged its rich- | | ness, and there are masses of men, baffled

its beauty, and its greatness,

in their efforts to discover God

{ who have found in Him the su- | preme evidence of a divine and

loving Father.

A write | from another state ranking high 1 the country’s leadership, in these | ‘ords recalls the attention of Hoosi¢|s to this matter: “I have been saying for years that in the m; ter of literature—whether in biogra hy, poetry, fiction or history—Inc ana has a record scarcely equaled ||; any state in the country.
