Acts 1911; Colossians 3:
IA; James ST, 8; I Peter
1:18, 10; 2::9, 10.
When, at His first Advent,
Jesus had finished His work
upon earth, He was parted
from His disciples and taken
up to Heaven. AS His disciples
looked steadfastly toward
Heaven, angelic messengers,
Gin white apparel" appeared,
saying, eye men of Galilee,
why stand We gazing up into
Heaven? this same Jesus,
which is taken from you into
Heaven, shall so come in like
manner as We have seen Him
go into Heaven" Thus the
Church was born with an up
ward look. She expects her
Lord to return in power and
great glory to establish His
Mediatorial Kingdom. T e
Apostolic Church was full of
vitality and accomplished a
mighty work because of this
upward expectant gaze. The
return of Christ is "the blessed
hope" of the Church, and
every saint derives inspiration
for active and effective ser
vice therefrom. That ''blessed
hope" includes more than just
the Rapture at ''the parousia"
or appearance of Christ: it
reaches beyond the seven
years of apoca]yptic judgments
to "the epiphaneia" or mani
festation of Christ, when He
comes to earth as King of
glory.
The purpose of Christ's
atoning work upon the Cross
of Calvary was to "give Him.
self for us" and to lay down
His life as "the Good Shep-
herd" for the lost sheep. The
purpose of Christ's redeeming
work is to gather to Himself
ga peculiar people, jealous of
good works."

How wonderful was the Wis
IDLE appearance of the grace
of God as seen in the virgin
birth of Jesus; in His public
ministry of teaching, preach
ing and healing; in His atom
ing death upon the Cross and
in His glorious resurrection.
"The grace of God that bring
eth Salvation hath appeared
to all men," Grace Divine has
it's origin in God the Father;
it's manifestation in Jesus
Christ; and it's purpose is
wrought out in the Holy Spirit.
It is the Spirit Who applies the
work of Divine grace in the
regeneration, the conversion,
the sanctification, and the
Qualification of every believ-
ing heart.
II LIVING A SOBER, RIGHT
EOUS AND cody LIFE
Verse 12; Isaiah 55:1-7;
Luke 1896; II CORN
thians 6:14-18; Romans
12:1-3; [ John 2:12-17.
Both phases of Divine Grace,
negative as we'll as positive,
are set forth by Paul in the
words: ''Teaching us that
denying ungodliness an d
worldly lusts, we should live
soberly and godly in this pres
ent world" In the Great Com
mission, Jesus commanded His
disciples to give forth the Cos
pei to all nations of earth. New
er before has wickedness been
more bold-faced than today.
Satan is alluring multitudes in
to "the broad way that lead
eth to destruction" Never has
Indifference, lukewarm n s
and apostasy been manifested
in the Church to the extent it
is today. This condition is the
result of neglect of the Word
of God. In speaking of the
days preceding His Coming,
Jesus said: "When the Son of
man cometh, shall He find
faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:
81
III THE HOPE OF CHRIsT's
GLORIOUS APPEARING.

The Bible, the Word of God,
more than any other agency,
has inspired man with hope
for a better life and for a bet
ter world. The Bible is mans
only sure and abiding source
of hope. The Bible speaks to
man of "the God of hope" of
''the hope of righteousness"
of 'the hope of salvation" of
"the hope of eternal life" and
of "the hope of glory" The
Bible tells of better riches
than silver and gold, of greater
wisdom than earthly wisdom,
of ca better testament" of "a
better resurrection" and of "a
better and enduring sub
stance. The Bible holds, as
taught in this Lesson, for every
believing heart ''the anchor of
Hope" the precious truth of
''the blessed hope" of Christ's
soon Coming, which has ever
been the polestar of the Chris
tan Church.
I THE GRACE OF GOD
BRINGETH SALVATION
Verse II; Psalm 103:1-
5; John 3:16, II; Romans
1858, 20, 21; Ephesians 3:
1-8; II Peter l :1O-18.
Paul admonished Titus to be
''of sound speech, in doctrine
showing uncorruptness, gravi-
ty and sincerity" The four
verses of this Lesson are sum-
mary of Paul's creed, cover
ing not only the important
tenets of doctrines taught in
the Church, but also the high
standard of living which every
follower of Christ must put
into daily practice. The hope
of Christ's Coming is the great
safeguard of sound doctrine
and sound living in the Church.
In order for man to have this
salvation, attention must be
given to the subject of Divine
grace. By his wilful rebellion
against God, man has brought
upon himself untold suffering,
anguish and misery. God re-
vealed His infinite love by be-
slowing upon man, in place of
wrath, His unmerited grace
and mercy through the Gift
of His Only-begotten Son.

VETERANS AND CITIZENS, TOO

Members of both Juneau veterans organzatiohs' the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are certainly deserving of congratulations for taking the initiative in what it is sincerely hoped will turn into a nationwide move.
 Last week, both groups assumed their responsi- bites as good American citizens and laid aside selfish ness and personal claims which would have cost them and their fellow citizens untold billions of dollars in additional government expenses which, of course, would have meant heavier taxes in order to pay the bills.
 These straight thinking veterans passed resolu- ons urging the Congress to think twice before passing veterans preferential legislation which would Tall m the vote-gettng or pork barrel classification They said they did want wastefu or unnecessary meas ,Ires which would harm the nations economy and would not actually do anyone any good. They also asked for scrutiny of present laws in order to do away with provisions that being improperly ad- ministered.

tAncnOraSe IlneS)
 Yesterday day that will loom large in the history of Anchorage
 Congress completed action a law that assures this citys permanent position a great aviation center The action a measure authorizing the establishment of international airport to be main tained and operated by the Federal government with an initial investment of S8,000.000.
 Construction of the airport will cause furry of activity in real estate employment and numerous enterprises. But the real value of the airport will be much more permanent and more far-reaching.
 The airport will eliminate the temporary nature of present airline operations which using Emen- dorf Field It will permit permanent investments in hangars shops offices and all the other facilities that % with airline maintenance and operation This, alone is a big industry for Anchorage.
 But of even greater significance to the city is the fact that the airport will bring thousands of visitors to Anchorage continually, making this city the cross roads for international air travel Government of ficals in high positions at Washington have predicted that the Anchorage traffic will run high as 75 per cent of all air traffic carried by Americn flag lines between the United States and the Orient
 Thus the airport opens the way for development of new service establishments to accommodate the travellers It will bring tourists here to enjoy the wonders of Alaska, many of which are concentrated in the Anchorage area.
 Food lodgings, entertainment, supplies, guides and intra Alaska transportation may well become major enterprises in the citys economy.

POSSIBLE COP PROGRAM

The Speaker -avored modified form of the draft, and, in the end, Snyder summed up a com promise program as follows: l. Re- quire all men between Is and 30 to register; ?. Stockpile strategic materials: 3. Give the President au- thority to conscript men for the armed services up to the authorized level, making certain that the ceil- ing is held down.
 T can go along with that" Martin agreed.
 AS a final caution, he added: We have to watch our defense program to keep it within the means of the country to support. :" Note-After V-J Day, far-reach- ing reserve program was drawn up by representative cf the regular Amy, the Reserve and National Guard Although this was approv- ed by then Chief of Staff George Marshall and Secretary of War Robert Patterson, it has been wan tonly neglected.
 4 total of 630000 enlisted men signed up fer the Reserve, but the Army hasn't even bothered to get in touch with them, as a result, more than 5Oo,OoO are expected to drop cut this year In addition, 27a,o0O officers signed up for the Reserve, hut the Army has assign ed only 38,000 to units. The oth- CTS are merely marking time.
 The conclusion seems inescap- able that the reason for this gross neglect is that the Army wanted to build up it's military might with peacetime conscription rather than use less glamorous manpower al- ready available.

MORE TROOPS TO
 ALASKA

Reports of troop movements to Alaska have been officially dis missed by the Army as routine. 7" Real truth, however, is that they are not routine. Of late the Army has kept only service troops in Alaska, but it's now reinforcing them with about l4000 combat troops.
 Though this is significant, act ually it's about as effective as a good-sized Boy Scout troop on our only frontier which faces Russia. Limited housing facilities in Alas ka, however, will not accommodate more.
