Lesson In Brief
By REV. 3. A. MEEKS

Subject: 'Peter and John Be-
come Disciples of Jesus
Bible Passage: John 1922;
Mark 1:16-20.
Golden Text: "And Jesus said
unto them, Come We after Me,
and I will make you to become
fishers of men" Mark lit.
Our lesson for today centers
around Peter ard John because
the theme of our lessons for the
next three months is, Life and
Letters of Peter and john.
Christ called these men from
lower to a higher work. Christ
prepared them, body, mind and
soul that they might cease to Ia
Dor for worldly gain and expend
their energies for heavenly gain.
They were prepared for disciple
ship through three successive
steps.
First Of all they were called to
be disciples. Jesus said unto
them, Come We after me, and I
will make you to become fishers
of men, This was a call to
communion with Christ. They
were called to FOLLOW, not to
lead the way. Jesus did not ask
them to travel an untriod way.
He went first and then called up
on them to follow. This is still
His method He does not ask us
to do or suffer anything that He
has not already done or suffered.
The disciples of Jesus are to
follow Him in his love for human
ity. Love was the controlling
motive in the life of Jesus. His
love for lost and ruined humani-
ty has been proven both by word
and deed. If we are to follow
Him, love must be the controlling
motive in all that we do and say.
Jesus calls His followers to fol-
low Him in union with the Fa-
Their. In His High Priestly pray
er Jesus prays. "That they all
may be one; as thou, Father, art
in me, and I in thee, that they o.
so may be one in us: that the
world may believe that thou hast
sent me-" This union is again
emphasized and illustrated by the
parable of the vine and the
branches in the fifteenth chapter
of John.
Jesus not only called His dis
ciples, but He fashioned them.
. ssAnd I will MAKE you to be-
come fishers of men, Christ
makes the fishers of men, we
cannot. We can strive and work
and pray with men, but Jesus
does the making. It is He who
makes successful workers and
fishers of men, we cannot. Did
you ever consider Christs work
as He fashions His workmen?
ID Consider the great amount OF
love expended in fashioning these
workmen. (2) Consider the great
amount of patience exercised in
fashioning these workmen. The
disciples of His day were so slow
of understanding. And we find

American military observers
are inclined to share the view Of
the soviets, now that they have
been treated more literally by
Moscow's high command in the
last six weeks. They are allowed
to follow closely the operations Of
the Russian military machine.
This in itself Is q clear indication
that Russia is looking ut the gen.
eral situation with genuine OPP
timism.
The real reason those observers
were kept hundreds of miles away
from the front in the past was
that the headquarters did not
want them to see fragrant dis
crepancies between the official
communiques and the actual re-
suits. Now, however, when the
communiques tally with actual
facts, as far as the progress Of
the Russian armies Is concerned,
there is no longer any reason to
keep the foreign military OBJ
server in the dark.
But while Allied military ex-
perts are cautioned about shar-
ing the Russians optimism that
the Nazis will be crushed by the
end of the summer, they do
agree that the Russian offensive
is on SO large q scale and is per-
formed with such enthusiasm
and efficiency that even If the
Germans are not actually beaten
they will be so badly mauled and
will have suffered such heavy
losses that 1t will be relatively
easy for the Allies to deal them
the coup de grace"
Experts Envision Success.
There Is 4 great deal of talk in
Allied military quarters about an
offensive somewhere on the
European mainland" this spring
or summer.
The same military strategists
who rightly refused to attack
Western Europe last summer be-
cause such an operation would
have been doomed to failure are
now convinced that the American
and British forces can do the job
successfully.
The situation has changed radi-
cally. The enemy is on the de-
fensive on all fronts. A land
ing in Europe today would not
have the negative object of re-
leving pressure on the Russians,
but the positive object of joining

II an ofdcial commission Of this
sort could be created by Congress

reason the answer could not be

at least, measurably approached.
At any rate, whatever the progress
made, such = commission would

sirable things. First, it would end

20-odd unco- ordinated and unrelated

keep whatever plan eventually is
evolved free Of the New Deal brand.

the Soviet forces advancing from
the east. It has about the same
aim as the operation Of 1t. Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower, who intends
to join the armies Of Gen. Ber-
nard Montgomery by moving
from west to east In North Africa
The Nazis are aware Of the
general strategy Of the Allies and
are reported gravely concerned.
Never, since the outbreak Of the
war, has the situation Of the
Nazis been as bad. They know
that the Allied forces are now
fully prepared for an offensive.
Moreover, Berlin's minions are
increasingly dissatisfied with the
progress Of the war. The Ital-
ians are openly defiant to the
Nazi rule In spite Of the efforts
OF = small group Of Fascists to
play along with Hitler.
Although there have been ON
cial denials of serious trouble in
Hungary and Rumania, reliable
reports say that both those coun-
tries are on the verge of collapse.
Germans Realize Danger.
And 50, the Germans realize
that these nations might become
their most embittered enemies
when they hear that the Allies
have landed in Europe and are
marching against Hitler's armies.
A few months ago when the
Nazis were on the offensive
everywhere any rebellious out
break would have been put down
with comparative ease. Now,
Hitler has not enough forces to
spare to fight the Russians, to
oppose the Allies in the west and
to deal with local situations"
No one here would be surprised
to hear In the next few months
that more guerrilla leaders like
Gen. Draja Mihailovich have
made their appearance In Hun
gary, Rumania and France.
Hitler is aware of all this.
What his next move will be is
hard to tell, but In competent
military quarters it is believed he
will treat himself to another
spectacular offensive against
some neutral country. This be-
lief is predicated on two factors:
He must keep up the morale of
his people by showing them that
their armies still have an offen-
sive power, and he must organ
lie his defense lines to cope with
a possible attack against the
Reich itself from two fronts, the
west and the east.
1t is difficult to ascertain
where the Fuehrer may decide to
strike in his last gigantic Often
sive. Some believe he will at
tempt to secure the western
front by the occupation of Spain;
others believe he will enter
Sweden in order to keep the
Firms in the war and make sure
that a landing of the Allies in
Norway will not threaten the
Reich.
In any event. another 'last"
Nazi offensive Is expected this

to put things into correct per-
spective. FOR the way to get .
true picture Of our war effort Is
by an overall and comparative
view: not by observing the thou
sand and one glaring defects.
but by measuring where We
stand now by where W stood .
year ago.
And from such q viewpoint,
the American war effort un-
doubtedly overshadows every
other, Allied or enemy, consider
ing the time into which It has
been telescoped.
True, we started out with the
greatest industrial potential, but
to shift the greatest industry to
q war footing is not easier, but
harder, than to shift q small one.
The preparation Of the smaller
but still great German industry
took six years and total Dictator
ship. We are not q military
country, and thus the announce
ment that We already have q
million and = half trained troops
abroad is stupendous. Their
training. their transfer across
the seas. with the immense
equipment necessary to modern
warfare, the gathering of ship
ping for such a project and their
convoy through submarine in
tested seas Is 30 fantastic that
DR.. Goebbels has only one answer
to the Presidents report: It is
not true.
They Don't Know America.
Again we see America living up
to the slogan, 'T11e poor fool
didn't know it couldn't be done,
SO he went ahead and did It,"
Neither Hitler, Goebbels nor
TOTO has ever had the faintest
notion of what America is like.
The Presidents good nature,
his admission of errors, the gen.
crosby of his spirit toward all
Americans and all our Allies is
also cause for confidence, for
1t is 4 symptom of his state of
mind. When the President is
worried he is most irascible-a
quality which he shares with all
men. In his address to the Con-
gress he was a happy warrior.
And since he certainly knows
the basis for his confidence, the
whole country feels more elated.
