LESSON TITLE: "Jesus the Life
and Light of Men"
LESSON TEXT: John ILLS.
MemoriZe VS.. IL. II.
GOLDEN TEXT: "In Him was
life; and the life was the light of
men," John 1 a.
For the next six months the Sunday
School lessons are taken from the gos-
pei of John. 1t is one of the most
remarkable books in the world. The
great commentator. Lange, calls it
'the diamond among the gospels"
Ernesti says that we have in it "the
"Should Il tyrant succeed in destroy
ing the holy scriptures and only IA
single copy Of the rpistle to the Ro-
mans and the gospel according TO
John escape him, Christianity would
be saved"
The book will be best understood
by knowing the purpose of the writer
This is to be found in chapter 20 81
But these are written, that ye may
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God; and that believing ye
may have life in his name"
In order to carry out his purpose
the writer gathers up the works and
words Of Jesus as proving that he
was what he claimed to be and there
fore that he should be obeyed and
followed. The first part of the book
is devoted to the record of the revela-
tions which Jesus made to the nation
and is contained in the first twelve
chapters. The second section con-
tains the revelation of Jesus to his
disciples and is more intimate in
character. 1t is found in chapters
1917 inclusive. The death and re-
surrection of Jesus are recorded as the
final revelation.

the world would understand. 1t was
for this purpose he sent 1.-The Word"
People ought surely to understand
one simple word; THE Word was
Jesus, "the light of men" 1t is pos
sible for any right minded man to
understand what God wants to say if
he listens to the Word which God
has spoken. The love of God in
Jesus Christ is easy to understand.
The coming of Jesus. whom John
calls the Word" is called in tech
meal language the incarnation" 1t
means the life of Christ on earth. 1t
means the life Christ lived on earth
in the flesh. that is in the body. The
word became flesh in order that we
might understand God better. Henry
Ward Beecher said that when he tried
to think of God without thinking of
Christ there went up in his mind "a
vague mental mist" 1t was to clear
away such a mist that Jesus came.
He interpreted God TO men. He was
the key Word" which made clear TO
us the Fathers purpose.

II. The Significance of Words.

Words are born in order to express
IDEAS. They represent the develop
ment of thought and invention in the
world. If You look at the dictionary
published one hundred years ago or
ten years ago, and compare it with
the dictionary in use today you will
see what an immense number OF new
words have come into Use in that
time. They are key to our progress.
They reveal the richness of our civil
liZatiOn.
When the missionary goes to Il
pagan country one of the first diff
cultic> he meets is to find a way to
express christian ideas TO the people.
In most cases they have no words
which represent christian ideas and
these words must be manufactured.
The process is slow. In part it grows
ont of experience.
Think of the difficulty which God
had of transferring his idea Of love

CANDY SUGGESTIONS.
Lemon Creams.

Lemon Creams.
A delicious home made candy calls
for the juice and grated rind of one
lemon, one-half cupful of water, the
white. of one egg and two cupfuls
of sugar.
The water and sugar syrup should
be boiled till it reaches the soft ball
stage-that is, until the mixture
turns to a soft white mass when
tried in water. This is at a tempera-
ture lower than that needed to make
the sugar brittle. Take from the fire
and add the lemon juice and the
on the white of egg which has been
beaten stiff. Beat the mixture until
it can be formed into little white
balls.
Dinner Mints.
To make after dinner mints you
will need two cupfuls of granulated
sugar, one-half cupful of water, a
pinch of cream of tartar, and one tea
spoonful of peppermint. Even with
war prices on sugar the ingredients
cannot come to ten cents.
Dissolve the sugar over the fire and
add the cream of tartar. Let it boil
without stirring till when tested in
cold water it is brittle. Quickly pour
out on buttered platter. When the
edges begin to look Opaque, fold the
cream toward the center and as soon
as it is hard enough to handle pull as
you would pull old fashioned molasses
candy until it is white. The pepper
mint flavor should be added in drops
to the candy when pulling it.

DISCUSSED GOOD ROADS.
Some Favored State Bonding; Others
Were Opposed.

Rutland, Feb. 3.-About so men rep
Iresentatives of both sides of the state
gathered at the Bardwell last evening in
attendance at good roads banquet,
which was followed by an informal dis
eussion of highway policies. Henry o.
Carpenter of this city presided. State
Highway Commissioner S. b. Bates, Max
J.. Powell of Burlington, ex-Gov. John
A. Mead of Rutland, Frank Z. Howe of
Bennington. C. T. Fairfield of Rutland.
Mark W. Nelson of New York state
highway department and Sidney S. Won
Loescke of the Automobile Legal asso-
citation of Boston were among the speak
ers.
Mr.. Bates outlined what was done in
road building the past year. He expressed
himself as not being in favor of bond
issue for money to put in country roads.
Mr.. Powell supported bond issue as
the only business-like way for the state
to build the right kind of highway to
attract tourist trade and declared him
self in favor of adjustment of the town
unit system, the engagement of state
engineer and the taking of gravel pits by
the state by condemnation proceedings.
Mr.. Howe and Mr.. Fairfield made ref
srence to the scenic attractions of Yer
mont which could not be appreciated by
The world until good roads gave them
the proper advertisement. The Rut-
and Woodstock mountain road was
compared with the Mohawk trail and it
vas shown that the Vermont highway
,xcels the other in its panoramic view.
Dr.. Mead called attention to the infu
nee of good roads on attendance at ben
fetal public gatherings such as church
meetings The methods of the sister
states outlined by the visitors from
Jew York and Massachusetts, were lis
ened to with great interest.

GERMANY'S PLUNGE
Puts 1t UP to President Wilson to Sever
Relations.

Appealing solely to the unwritten law
of self preservation, and disdaining fur
Their compromises or expediencies, Ger
many puts in force this day drastically
rine warfare against the commerce of
her enemies, within zones 20 nautical
miles wide off the coasts of Great Brit
ain, France and Italy in the Atlantic,
the North sea and the Mediterranean.
The avowed effect is to annul all the
submarine pledges given to the United
States following the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, the Arabic, the Sussex and the An
coma; to expose even the regular passen-
ger liners sailing under the American
flag, like the St. Paul. to torpedo attack
without warning-unless they follow
infinitely German orders and touch only
at the one English port of Falmouth,
carrying no eontraband, not oftener than
once a week and carry special markings
day and night, which the German admi-
rally defines, for their protection.
This means impossible conditions for
the United States, and no American in
his senses would consider for moment
acquiescence in Germany's action. 1t is
grave question whether President Will
son should not hand to the German am
bassador his passports Immediately. Not
before in this war has Germany gone to
such extremes in the treatment of neu-
trail shipping. The Lusitania was not an
American ship, it was British ship. At
no time hitherto has Germany asserted
the right to attack without notice an
American passenger liner sailing to any
British port, located within so-called
war zone. No legal blockade of the Brit
ish isles is proclaimed; no pretense of
legality is put forth in support of this
final manifestation of maritime ruthless
ness. Our neutral rights even in their
most elementary form are swept away
at stroke, on the simple plea that the
war has now become struggle for sim
pie existence.
But even this justification can have
little moral force so long as the German
high seas fleet remains in German har-
bors and does not 90 forth to contest in
decisive battle for the mastery of the
seas. The, naval battle of Jutland last
May was claimed by the kaiser as Ger
man victory; whatever may have been
the extent of the triumph from the Ger /!
man point of view, Germany's own pre-
tensions to naval superiority in feet
action forbid her casting aside the last
restraints of civilization in her subma- (
rine operations.
For America, the most tremendous |
crisis of the war has now been reached. |
In the light OF this development, the
events of the past two months are per-
fectly clear. The president has foreseen
the crisis and has been struggling .des-
perately to avoid it, in the interest of
