r DISASTROUS
The usual gossip was being cn
Joyed over the back-garden fence. :
“Did you hear.about the row at j
No. 17 last night?” said the lady i
at No. 3.
"No; what was it?” asked her j
neighbor at No. 5 eagerly.
“Well, she broke a chair over her |
husband’s head, but I hear she’s
very sorry for it now.”
“Pity she didn’t think before she
did it then.”
“Yes,” sighed No. 3; “it was one
of her best chairs.”
CONVOY
\^||j
Mother—Mei'cy, how your ice
cream flies!
Jimmy—Well, mother, it’s carried
off by swallows, you know.
Avid Reader
Two women were comparing their
experiences of matrimony.
“Yes,” said the lady in pink, "I
owe much of my success and happi
ness during marriage to two books.
They have been a source of help
and inspiration lots of time.”
“Two books!” exclaimed the one
in blue. “Whatever were they?”
“Mother's cook book and father’s
check book,” was the calm reply.
Dull (?)
“I suppose you find it rather dull
in the evenings,” said the sweet
young thing to the RAF pilot.
“Simply nothing to do at all,”
sighed the pilot. “We just play
darts, do the crossword puzzles in
the evening papers, drop a few
bombs on Hamburg, and go straight
to bed!”
Misspelled
The engineering student was
stumped in the examination by a
question concerning the bridging of
a river which ran over a rocky bed.
Finally in disgust he wrote:
“Damn the river and blast the bed.”
He got full credit with one point
deducted for bad spelling.
Waste of Time
“Your handwriting’s so indistinct
I can hardly read these poems of
yours. Why didn’t you type them
before bringing them to me?"
"Type ’em?” the would-be poet |
gasped. “D’you think I'd waste my
time writing poetry if I could type?”
Aftermath
The summer left her in a mess;
Old Sol has placed her ’neath the
ban.
Now, when she’d wear a low-neck
dress,
She finds she can’t get off the
tan.
Postponed
Caller—And will you walk with
me us far as the bus stop, Tommy?
Tommy—l can’t.
Caller—Why not?
Tommy—Because we’re going to
have dinner as soon as you leave, i
Thank You
An elderly maiden aunt received f
this note from her ten-year-old
niece: “Dear Aunt Martha: Thank
you for the nice present. I have al
ways wanted a pincushion, although
not very much.”
BEAR MARKET
"Yes, sir, thirty years ago all the )
land around here sold for five dollars |
an acre.”
“And what does it sell for now?” 1
“Taxes.”
It's Simple
“It is hard to be poor all the
time.”
"It may be for you, but for my
self, 1 find it the easiest thing in
the world.”
Slow Poke
“I hadn’t been talking to the fel- ,
low for more than five minutes when
he called me an ess.”
“What caused the delay?” 1

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LINDQUIST, D. D.
Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chlcajo.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for February 7 !
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts «e- j
lected and copyrighted by International
Council nf Religious Education: used by
permission.
JESUS AFFIRMS HIS DEITY
LESSON TEXT—John 8:12. 25-38, 58-59.
GOLDEN TEXT—He that hath seen me
hath seen the Father.—John 14:9.
“The Light of the World Is Jesus I” 1
Who does not remember with what
delight we as children sang, “Come
to th« light, ’tis shining for thee . . .
The light of the world is Jesus.”
How precious was the truth that 1
thus flooded our souls. Jesus is the j
light. Just as the sunlight sheds its
glory on an awakening world at
dawn, so He sheds abroad the light
of God in the hearts of men. As
this portion of God’s Holy Word is
studied and taught, may the light
break forth on many a soul caught
in the bewilderment of this dark
world. |
But that is only one of the great 1
thoughts around which our lesson
centers. As Jesus here reveals
Himself as divine, we consider four
simple words, each fraught with
rich meaning.
I. Light (v. 12).
The text says: “Then spake
Jesus.” When? Just after He had
silenced the hypocritical accusers of
a woman taken in sin, and had
spoken the word of peace to her
troubled soul. She was to “go and |
sin no more” because she had met !
Him who is the light of the world, j
They that follow Him “shall not
walk in darkness”; they are the
children of light, they have the very
light of life shining in their hearts
and lives.
Not only does Jesus light the be- ;
liever’s heart, but this light shines j
into all the dark corners of this
wicked world, exposing sin and
hypocrisy, and showing the way
back to God.
11. Salvation (vv. 25-30).
“Who art thou?” That is the ques- j
tion every man must ask and an- ]
swer as he considers Jesus. Even i
neglect is an answer—a rejection.
The answer of Christ in these
verses goes to the very heart of the '
matter, for He takes the people
right to the cross of Calvary. When
they had crucified Him, tlley would
know. Did not the centurion say:
“Truly this was the Son of God”
(Matt. 27:54)?
It is true today that no man knows
Christ until lie knows Him as the i
crucified Saviour. Teacher, Exam- j
pie, Guide—all these He is—but
they are not enough, for we sinners
need a Saviour. May many today :
follow the example of verse 30.
111. Freedom (vv. 31-36).
Free! Four letters, but what a
depth of meaning! Chains have fall- 1
en off, prison doors are open. The i
one who was bound is free.
But here we are concerned with
an even more important liberty, the
freedom of the soul. Many there
are who boast of their independence
but who are naught but slaves.
Jesus said: “Whosoever commit
ted! sin is the servant of sin”
(v. 34), not its master.
How shall they be freed? Note
three things in these verses:
(1) A condition, “If ye continue in
my word.” This means not only a
profession of faith, but a daily ap
propriation and realization of His
truth in life.
(2) A promise, “Ye shall know
the truth.” The philosophies of men
profess to be a seeking after truth,
but how few there arc who look to
the one place where it can be found
—in Jesus Christ.
(3) A result, “The truth shall
make you free.” Truth always sets
free. Men are enslaved because,
as in some foreign lands, they have
not had the opportunity to learn the
truth or because they have rejected
! it.
Men profess to seek truth in their
research and in the process of edu
cation, but without Christ they can
not have real truth. Educational
I systems which rule Him out arc
deficient and lead to bondage rather
than freedom.
IV. Eternity (vv. 56-59).
Taking up their statement that
they were Abraham’s children (see
vv. 33, 37), Jesus enters into the
sharpest controversy with the un
believing Jew’s of His entire earthly
ministry. They were claiming kin
ship with a great man of faith who
in his day had looked forward to
i the coming of Christ (v. 56). Now
He was here, and instead of receiv
ing Him as their Messiah they were
ready to kill Him.
Not only did they claim Abraham
as father, but also God. Jesus told
them that in their sin and unbelief
they were of their "father the
devil.” It is possible, then, to be
| very religious, to follow the tradi
tions of one's fathers, and yet to be
I children of the devil.
All this led up to their sharp re
buke in verse 57, which denied to
Christ anything but an earthly ex
istence and which led Him to the
> statement of His eternity. He iden-
I tided Himself definitely and clearly
with the Eternal One—the great I
AM of Exodus 3:14.
Christ is God, and is therefore
"infinite, eternal, and unchangeable
! In His being, wisdom, pow r er, holi
ness, justice, goodness and truth”
(Westminster Catechism).

Malaria Cure Discovered j
In Seventeenth Century
The first protozoan disease for
which a specific therapeutic became
available was malaria. The crude
bark of the cinchona tree was used
for the purpose beginning about 1600,
but this was superseded in 1820 by
quinine, one of the alkaloid deriva
tives of the bark.
Malaria has been known as dis
ease of man since ancient times,
Hippocrates recognized and differen
tiated certain fevers which undoubt
edly were caused by malarial para
sites. The disease represented a
hazard to the progress of all the
great conquests by armies and the
mass migrations in the world’s his
tory, and it was one of the most
important obstacles in the coloniza
tion of the New World. Many settle
j ments in North America, expecially
along the coast of the southeastern
United States, were necessarily giv
en up soon after their founding be
cause of the ravages of malaria.
A cure for malaria was discovered
i in the Americas. In the first years
! of the 17th century, Jesuit mission
; in Peru began to adopt the na
i tive method of treating malaria by
the use of the bark of a Peruvian
j tree. The precise circumstances of
i the introduction of this method to
! Europe are obscure. According to
I °oe school of historians, Don Fran
i cisco Lopez Canazares, the Corregi
dor of Loxa, had himself been cured
by the treatment, sent a supply of the
bark to Lima in 1638, where Fran
cesca de Ribera, the second wife of
the viceroy of Peru, lay ill with ma
laria. Her infection was also cured.
So impressed was Francesca de
Ribera with the curative potentiali
ties of the bark that she carried a
j quantity back to Spain where, in
l 1640, it was employed for the treat
| ment of persons ill of malaria on
i her husband’s estate. The name
j Cinchona was applied to the tree
erroneously by Linnaeus in 1742, in
honor of the countess of Cinchon,
| the first wife of the viceroy of Peru,
who died in 1625 without visiting
America. She had nothing to do
I with the discovery of the treatment
i for malaria.

Three Railroads Reaching
Inland Algerian Tebessa
Rail and road facilities at Tebes
! sa make that inland Algerian town
| a well-situated springboard for in
| vading American troops headed for
i Axis-occupied Tunisia and western
I Libya.
i Tebessa is less than a half hour's
bomber flight from the Mediterra-
I nean and only ten miles from the
i Tunisian border. Three railroads
reach the town. Troops from Bone,
: Philippeville, Bougie and Algiers, all
i United Nations-held Mediterranean
ports in Algeria can be dispatched
■ there by train. But so can Axis
forces from Tunis and Bizerte, Tu
j nisian ports dominated by the ene
my. By road too, the town can be
i reached by a motor road which
j connects with a network of north Af
j rican roads linking coastal cities
| and towns.
As a military junction, Tebessa
I is repeating an ancient role. The
Romans, who founded it (as The
veste) near the end of the first cen
tury, made it the hub of nine roads.
Joined with Carthage and other im
portant centers of north Africa, Te
bessa reached its peak of develop
j ment around the beginning of the
third century, when traders came
from far and near to its markets.
Elect Senators for Six Years
U. S. senators are elected by popu
lar vote in each state for a term of
six years in accordance with the
Constitution, as amended, Senator
Joseph F. Guffey was re-elected to
I the U. S. senate in November, 1940,
j and began his second term on Janu
i ary 3, 1941, so that he will serve un-
I til 1947.
The first U. S. senate was the only
j one in which some of the senators
I served for four years. When it con
; vened on May 14, 1789, the senators
| were divided by lot into three
| classes: the first class to serve for
two years, the second for four years,
and the third for six years. The lots
were so arranged that no two sena
tors from a state fell into the same
class and the reason for this allot
ment was to elect only one-third of
the senate at any time and to main
tain thus a majority of experienced
lawmakers in the legislative branch
of the government. The successors
of these first senators were elected
for terms of six years.
| Michigan Campaigns Against Noise
j Noise abatement campaigns are
| under way in 19 Michigan cities en
; gaged in war production, with the
goal of promoting rest for war work-
I ers and increasing productive effi
ciency, the Council of State Gov
ernments reports. The programs
are sponsored by the Michigan Coun
cil of Defense labor advisory com
mittee. Campaign plans include ap
peals to school children, distribu
tion of “quiet” signs for use by day
time sleepers, proclamations, high
way signs at approaches . . . movie
shorts, and police co-operation.
Tunis’ Mohammedans
Approximately 93,000 of Tunis’
219,000 inhabitants are Mohammed
ans. Almost 50,000 French, about
I an equal number of Italians, and
1 approximately half as many Jews
are concentrated in this port city.
Tunis, centuries old and many times
battle-scarred, came into French
hands in 1881 when Tunisia became
l a French protectorate.
