Christ the Saviour, John 3:14-
II; Romans 5:6-10; Philippians
2:5-11, for Sunday, April Ia:
Next to the doctrine of the Heav-
emily Father, the subject of last
Sundays lesson, is Christ the Saw
iour; all other doctrines are based
on these two.
v. IA. 'And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even
so must the Son of Man be lifted
up We are familiar with the
story of the miraculous healing of
the Israelites bitten by serpents, by
simply look at braZen serpent.
This furnishes an illustration that
by look implying faith and sur
render) at Christ on the Cross as
our Saviour was made possible the
importation of divine virtue work
ing in way that we cannot ex-
plain, but which makes us new
creatures, lifting us to a higher lev
ell.
V. 16. "For God SO loved the
world that he gave His only be-
gotten Son that whosoever believeth

the greatest simplicity; "in Him .
the greatest attraction; "should not
perish"-the greatest promise;
"but'' the greatest difference "have"
the greatest certainty; -"everlasting
life'-the greatest possession.
V. 6. For when we were yet
without strength. in due time
Christ died for the ungodly." The
sinner is correctly characterized;
he is too weak to lift himself into
favor with God; seeing the helpless
condition of humanity, God exer-
cised his grace BY becoming active

Christ our Saviour, John 3:14-
II; Romans 5:6-10; Philippians
2:5-11, for Sunday, April IA.
Why is John 3:16 SO universally
quoted and admired?
How may we die for others?
Why was it necessary for Christ
to be born on earth, live among
men and die on the cross?
Why can one not lift himself
above the level of society?
What does it mean to be justified
before God?
! What is the part man has to per.
form to be justified before God?
Glorious says: "Man who is te
live above the level Of the animal
world needs to be lifted by God
which he did by establishing him
self through Christ within the
stream Of sinful and perishing hui
manity.
Lesson prayer: "Help us to real
ize more fully at what great cost
we have been purchased through
the grace of God manifest in the
life and death of Christ His Son
Help us ever to place our hand in
the hand of God, walking with Him
by faith

in Christ who Wove thread of gold
through the human cords of men,
which if grasped provides garments
of righteousness.
V. z, 8. "God commencing his
love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for
u.s.. God felt a sincere and un-
merited love for men which showed
supremely in the gift of His Son;
then while sinners (and such men
were enemies of God and worthy of
DEATH God lifted the judgment of
death in the gift of His Son.
v. 8. "Much more then, being
now justified by his blood, we can
be saved from wrath through him. ;"
Being justified implies regeneration
which is made possible through the
pardon of sins which follows sin
cere repentance; it is a dangerous
thing to play with Gods offered
grace, for there is wrath of God
that cannot be overlooked
V. 10. For if, when we were
enemies. we were reconciled to God
by the death of His son, much more,
being reconciled, we shall be saved
Dy his lie. COO ala the recon-
CLING, not man, and he did it while
men were sinners; in Christ God
extends his hand of fellowship to
those who will take it. BY keeping
a firm grip on Gods hand we shall
be kept safe all through life and
therefore saved"
V. 5. "Let this mind be in you
which was also in Christ Jesus y
We ought always to entertain the
thoughts Of God, always to manifest
the spirit of Christ, and always
demonstrate the love of Christ.
V. 6, Z. "Who being in the form
of God, thought it not robbery to
be equal with God" So greatly was
God affected by sin in the world
that he underwent a great change
his heart bled for his wayward
children-this fact is to be remem-
bered rather than to speculate on
the changes in God. God was so
sincere that in Christ he set aside
his reputation and came to the lev
ell of humanity.
V. 8. "And being found in fash
ion as a man, he humbIed himself,
and became abedient unto death,
even the death of the cross" God
knows how man is tempted, how he
is troubled, what worries him, how
often he is ill-treated, how often he
suffers, and what it means when he

SIX THOUSAND RABBITS
FOR MARYLAND COVERS

Six thousand Missouri rabbits will
be turned loose in the fields of Mary
land next month, free to scamper
about until the hunting season in the
fall, according to officials of the State
Game Department.
The Dummies will be sent from their
homes in Central Missouri to the dis
trict deputy game wardens for distri-
button in various counties.
E. Lee LeCompte, State Game
Warden, who ordered the rbabits to
restock the Maryland supply said a
shipment into the State has not been
made since 1881. The reason for the
delay has been the prevalence of rab-
bit fever, Mr.. LeCompte explained.
The section from which the cotton
tails will come, he said, was affected
but little by the disease. Each rabbit
will cost about 81 the money coming
from the general fund Of the depart
ment.

STATE ROAD CONTRACT
IN TALBOT is AWARDED

The contract for the new state road
from the Choptank River Bridge to
Trappe was awarded to Phillips Bros,
who have built several of the Talbot
State roads. Their bid was $145, 389
for four and half miles of road on
this side and $39,966 for the short
stretch on the Dorchester side.
There were seven bidders for this
contract and the next lowest bidder
was not much higher than the sue
cessful bid. It is understood that the
was Roberts Paving Company, and it
two approaches to the Bridge are a
part of the State road system, but
that the road itself is a Federal pro-
ject or at least is paid for from Fed
eral funds.
When the work begins on these two
approaches it is estimated that at least
$50 persons in Dorchester and Talbot
will be employed. It is confidently
expected that the bridge will be done
late this fall. The open winter so far
has permitted continuous work on the
bridge.
1t is understood that the present
road from Easton to Trappe is to be
shouldered, to take care of the heavy
traffic that will come over it.

SYNOPSIS

On Christmas Eve, while Bethna
Ruggles is hurrying home with her
meagre salary, her purse is stolen:
With her family nearly destitute and
facing eviction from their home, Beth
ma is frantic. Seeing the girl Sob
bling and gazing into fur shops win
dow, the socially prominent Wesley
Payne believes her longing for a fur
coat responsible for the tears. He
buys one for her from a passing ped
dler. Before Bethna can regain her
compOsure enough to thank Payne, ne
is gone. Bethna tries to sell the coat
to a passerby to meet her family's
needs. She is arrested for having
stolen goods. Through the kind Of
fees of Durk Fursten, young news
paper reporter, a picture of Bethna is
published in the papers requesting that
the man who gave her the coat COM
municate with the police and cOrrObOr-
ate her story that it was gift. Payne
arrives and Bethna is released. He
takes her home in his limousine and
pays her family's back rent. Darl,
too, showers them with kindness but
he seems to be forgotten in praise for
Payne. Darl does not resent that SO
much as the alteration in Bethna's
eyes every time Payne's name is men.
toned. He cannot reveal that Payne's
generosity was just tipsy gesture
that he had tried to bride Darl to sup.
press the story, and, failing, had
threatened the reporter. Darl con-
fesses his love for Bethna. She re.
sists his advance and admits it is
Payne she cares for.
One night, Payne calls on Bethna
with his snObbish fiancee, Vesta b.
dine, to prove to the latter there was
nothing behind the newspaper story
and no strings attached to the fur
coat. Maybe she'll believe me after
seeing the GIRL" Payne says, contemp-
tously pointing at Bethna.

sorry. You see, I've been in love with

other girls theye have been in his life.
that I misunderstood. I want you to
understand and forgive me. And
want you to keep this coat, and also
to keep the things Pm going to send
you tomorrow. Wear them when you
marry your nice boy. And be happy
for meas I am happy for you
Isn't it terrible that love can make
you suffer 500"
It was signed-Vesta Bodine!
Bethna stood there, hugging the
coat to her breast, her big eyes plead
ing with Darl.
"Let me keep it! Please let me
keep it! I love it so-and then you
won't have to buy me one. Please!
Darl grinned down at her, under
standingly.
"I'll let you keep ton one con
dition," he told her, with mock stern
ness.
"What?" she demanded, with child
like directness.
"That you don't wait for the Other
things she's sending you to be mar
ried in. If you'll marry me at
o'clock tomorrow morning"
"Well,"-she agreed reluctantly
This child who had never had but one
touch of luxury in her life. And ther
came the thought that whatever love
iy things Vesta sent her she coule
wear after she was married-for Darl
"Of course" she added.
And after that was all talked over
her father and mother had gone bacl
to the kitchen to leave the two alone
and Bethna was curled in Darls arms
again, she asked.
"What did she mean-isn't it ter
rible that love can make you suffer
so? Love doesn't make me suffer
l never was so happy, nor felt SO safe
in my whole life"
And Darl, with closed eyes, and hi:
lips close to her hair, sent up thai
