Why Christ Came
Lesion for January Is, 1861

When we speak of some one S
background, we usually mean
his boyhood home, his family
for perhaps generations back,
his schooling, all the in
fluences that made him what he
is, or at least got him started
in the direction which he has
followed in the years since then.
What was the background OF
Jesus? Readers Of John will
remember the background in
Eternity, the background in
God. Chapter goes farther into
this. Suppose it is true that
Christ was the Son of God, the
eternal Word" this still leaves
us asking, but why did the Word
become flesh" become a hui
man being? The great answer
to that question is in John 3:16:
Gods love for the world. 49,. 80.
The Love of God
If any one asks why God
should love the world, we can
only say that it is Gods nature
to love. Yet isn't the world too
bad for God to love? Well, it is;
so that the love of God is in
itself the fundamental miracle
beside which all other miracles
are small things. This word
world" is used by writer's in
the New Testament, and by John
himself, in various ways. It can
mean the universe, the physical
world; or it can mean all that is
evil and opposite to God; or can
mean the race of mankind. This
last is the meaning in John 3:l6,
no doubt.
The reader will want to pom
der over the stupendous truth
that God loves the world. Eyes,
still in the 20 century with all its
bloody crimes. If it is true only
that God time loved
the world, but not now, then in
deed we are lost.) But let us
ask another question: Is God
like a helpless mother reading
about her hayward son in the
crime news, or is he like lazy
grandfather watching the chill
dren getting into mischief and
thinking only Those are cute
kidst"-or like an adertng bride,
Whatever my darling boy does
is all right with me?" No, God S
love is interviewer with his wis
dom and his holiness. His love
for the world makes him do
something for the world: in one
tremendous word, to save it.
The Life of God
Take the word, the idea, the
fact, of save" and Salvation
and savior" out of the Chris
tan religion and you have moth
ing left. This word save" is ex-
planned in various ways in the
New Testament. Johns favorite
and basic explanation is in an,
other short but dynamic word
LIFE. God loves the world
that is, the people in the world
so that he sends his only Son
but beyond that sending is a
hope and a promise: that who
soever believes in him should
have eternal life" This eternal
life is not simply a life thai
persists through death. Jear
Sartre has written a play INC
Exit" in which the three charac
tiers are all dead men, that is
they have died, but they still
exist. The horrible thing, as each
of them learns, is they canno
really die, they are immortal
Each wants to kill the other
but it cannot be done. Eacf
wishes to commit suicide; bu
that annot be done either
Merely endless life would be {
hellish thing.

were less likely to recall dream than dreamers,
but persons ,Uho said they had neuer dreamed
before reported at least dream during the study.
Conclusion: everybody dreams, but for some the
memory is aeeting.
q. What does it mean if you remember your
dreams?
a. A Columbia University psychologist carried out
a fascinating 28day study of this question. DR.,
Rosaea Schonbar, clinical psychologist at Colum-

women graduate students to 6ll out dream report"

long experiment, the students we're given person

and fully found to be significantly more aware
of themselves, more in touch with their inner feel

LID YOU KNOW that you can tell whether sleeper
is dreaming or not? You can. Not only that, but
you can even tell lot about the kind of dream he is
having.
So many surprising new discoveries have been
made by scientists in various research centers that
we'd better take them up in Q and A form:
q. Does everybody dream?
a. To find the answer to this question, investiga-
tors at the State University of New York's Down
state Medical Center recently studied two repre-
sentative groups of persons O those who reported
dreaming almost every night and (2) those who said
they seldom or never dreamed. Over period of
four nights, subjects in both groups were awakened
periodically by the sound of loud bell, and asked if

dreams tended to be more inhibited emotionaly.
q. Can you tell sOI.en a person is dreaming?
a. Yes. At the University of Chicago scientists
have discovered that when person dreams he fol-
lows his dream with his eyes, if he watching
a movie. You can actually see his eyes moving

Born in Chicago, Mr.. Cooke
now resides in Los Angeles,

His first hit was "Chain
Gang" which he made a year
ago and since has recorded
many including "Hits of the
SOS" which includes Mona
Lisa, "Too Young, "The Great
Pretender" and recently "My
Kind of Blues"
Mr.. Cooke told friends that
he at first refused to come
to St. Croix; persuaded by Mr..
Connolly to make a short trip
he decided to come finally and
deeply regretted that he did
not arrange to come at a time
when he could have stayed
over.
Mr.. Connolly, distributor for
records in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands plans to bring
other RCA artists to st. Croix
whenever they come to Puer-

Stunning, Mr.. Cooke was met at
the airport by a reception COM
mittee headed by Lawrence
Motta, manager Of Conrad, Ltd
in st. Croix. AS he left the
plane, accompanied by c. G..
Connolly of Conrad, Ltd, he
was serenaded by Pedrito AL
tieri's Steel Band which play

admitted that although he had
seen steel bands before it was
the first time that he had the
opportunity to get near enough
to inspect them. He thought
the music was very good and
different. The Hon. Ron de
Lugo welcomed him on behalf
the Government and a tape
recorded interview was later
broadcast over radio station

Mr.. Cooke was taken in to
Frederiksted where he visited
the Claude O. Markoe school
and was warmly received by
the students; he was then TAX

to Christiansted where several
hundred awaited him. The
youngsters crowded around
him admiringly and he tried
to autograph everything they
handed him but it was human
ly impossible for him to con-
tinue as he was exhausted and
had to be taken into a nearby
room by Mr.. Motta where he
could rest.

around the door until he came
outside; autographed some
more and bid them goodby.

Feel Mean?
Try Breakfast

Grumbling. irritable dispositions
and lack of energy often are the
result of little or no breakfast,
according to Janet Coblentz. ex-
tension nutrition specialist with
the University Of Delaware.
Without breakfast, school chill
dren may slump drowsily at their
desks. Homemakers may become
cross and irritable long before
lunch time. often at the expense
of children underfoot.
Businessmen may find themsel-
yes fighting sleepiness and irrita-
bility long before the morning
coffee break.
Dieters starting the day with no
breakfast often are so hungry by
noon that they eat enough calories
at lunch for the whole days re-
quirements.
Modern breakfasts need not be
as hearty as they were i'm the days
when people were more active
physically. The size OF your break
fast will depend on what you do
during the day. A good general
rule is TO include in your break
fast one-fourth to One-third OF
your daily calorie and nutritional
requirements. All breakfasts
should contain fruit, protein (eggs,
meat or cheese. or cereal and
milk bread. butter and a beverage.
Many people spurn the idea OF
eating breakfast because they feel
1t adds extra pounds.
Research has found no grounds
for this belief" says Miss Coblen-
IL. "In fact, research shows that
If you eat well-balanced break
fast, you won't be as hungry at
lunch and dinner as you would
have been without breakfast. Your
daily intake of calories therefore
is less"
II you're on a low-calorie diet
a breakfast that includes one-half
grapefruit, one egg, one slice OF
bread, butter. and glass OF skim
milk provides the necessary nut
rients for breakfast and totals only
300 calories. If this is only one
fourth of your daily intake, YOU
still have plenty OF calorics left
