Z ~m?h ' ,he Ka,her- bul by
John 14 6Calvary
and crucifixion were just
ahead. Jesus gathered His disciples
for a time of communion and instruction
as ihey spent their last !
I evening together. On the morrow
would come-betrayal, but now they
and their Lord were together in the
I upper rQpm.
But even here strife and dissension
had apparently come in. There
I was probably some difference of
opinion as to who should have the j
place of honor. To teach them the
I virtue of humility Jesus gave them
I an example, after which He continued
with the precious counsel and
prayer which are found in John 14
I to i?I
Our lesson presents three things
which our Lord gave to His disciples
and to us (see John 17:20).
I. His Example?"Do as I Have
Done" (13:12-20).
The act of Jesus in washing the
disciples' feet placed Him, their Lord
I and Teacher, on the level of the
I most menial servant. It was an astonishing
thing that He did, lowering
Himself below their level to
serve them.
His application of the object lesson
was equally startling. "Ye call
I me Teacher and Lord, and ye say
I well," said He. Then as learners
and servants He required of them
I the humility which would make
them eager to do lowly service in
His name.
I There are more than enough folk
who are willing to do the nice, pleasant
things in the church, where they
I will be given recognition and praise.
All too scarce are those Christlike
folk who will serve in the hidden
I places where darkness, suffering,
disease and sin make the natural
man recoil in distress or fear.
II. His Assurance?"If I Go I
I Will Come Again" (14:1-3). ?
Following His resurrection Jesus
was to go to the Father. He wanted
them to be prepared for that time
by making known to them the fact
of His coming again. In that day
I His own shall be received unto Himself
to abide with Him forever. j
The second coming of Christ is
not a strange doctrine held by
I little groups of people who*are rid
ing a theological hobby. It is one
of the most blessed truths of ScripI
ture. The hope of the Christianyes,
the only real hope of this disordered
world?is the coming of
Christ to reign? The New Testament
is full of plain and helpful
teaching on this subject.
While we await His coming, then,
is there any encouragment for us
as the burdens bear down and the
way seems long? Yes, He says:
"Let not your heart be troubled"
(v. 1). There is little question that
this passage has comforted more
people than any other word in Scripture.
Countless bewildered and broken
souls in all lands and times have
here found the steadying assurance
of the one who has the power to
give them rest and Comfort.
There is good foundation for their
composure of heart in a troubled
world. They believe in God, and in
Christ, who is one with the Father.
Here is real security?infinitely su-^
perior to aught the world can give.
Then at the end of the road are
the eternal dwelling places. What
they are like is sufficiently revealed
in the fact that they are in the Father's
house. How shall we reach
them? That is our last point. We
have
in. His Guidance?"I Am the
Way" (vv. 4-6).
To Christ's declaration that they
knew the way, Thomas responded
with a request for a definite statement.
He wanted to be sure, and
Christ responded by reminding him
that He, their Lord, is the "way,
the truth, and the life." Surely there
could be no more complete provision
for the guidance of the heavenly
pilgrim.
Christ is "the way." If one takes
the right road he will reach the
right destination though he "cannot
at first see it clearly. Perhaps this
is the commonest mistake of the
Christian. He frets too much about
what lies ahead . . . and not enough
about taking the right road" (Lesson
Commentary).
He is "the truth." He is the final
and complete revelation of God, and
is therefore the One who will lead
all those who walk the way by faith
into the fullness of the truth. To
know Christ is to know God.
He is "the life." He is life, and
He alone can give eternal life to
man. There is none other to whom
man may turn for life, but in
Christ it is found, and from Him it
may be received by faith.
We have only touched the briefest
beginning of what took place on that
remarkable evening in the upper
room. It was a time of richest spiritual
significance, of dailt betrayal,
but also of closest communion. We
continue next Sunday. '

Southern Soldiers
Like Yank Sports
9
The kids from South Carolina, from
Mississippi, Georgia and other states
below the Mason-Dizon line shivered
in the below zero weather at Camp
McCoy, Wisconsin.
But according to? letters received
from Wisconsin newspaper buddies of
Frank H. Heath, former Wisconsin
news writer who is publicity director
here in Camden, the boys from the
southland soon ovecome the shivers
and believe it or not have taken to
nothern winter sports jvith gusto and
enthusiasm.
Most of the boys from the south
never saw snow before, but they are
sure seeing plenty this winter up in
the Wisconsin camp. Four feet the
level so far this season and when tho
"wind picked up the white crystal
drifts fifteen to twenty feet deep were
created.
The boys from Dixie will stand up
and with faces straight and not a grin
in sight solemnly declare they are
about "frozen to death," but when the
day's labor is over and they have a
free period, they rush off to spend a
couple of hours in mastering fee skating.
Navigating the ski slides and in
even attempting a trek with snow
shoes.
The interesting part of it all Is
that the physical records show that1
the "Johnny Rebs" have put on weight
and fairly radiate health and energy.
When they first arrived in Wisconsin
and experienced their first Introduction
to zero temperature the boys even
resorted to wearing three pairs of
pants, several pair of sox and at night
some wore their overcoats to bed.
But as they became accustomed to the
dry air they soon discarded the extra
clothing, found that a blanket or two
were sufficient covering at night and
now admit that "it's a swell country."
Several North Carolina soldiers
have become so interested in skating
and other outdoor snow and ice sports
that they have to be called several
times for mess.

(one of those plutocratic inatructors
out at the air school wants a new car)
and youc letter? make me very unhappy.
(Phonfe rings and it is the
wife saying supper is ready.
Then we rush home to supper and
back, finishing the letters with a
minimum of interruptions. Go by
NICK's to get a cup of coffee and find
him closed for the night. So on home
at last.
THE WIFE greets us with: ''Here's

in the wee hours to have a nightmare

(P. S.) Any readers crazy enough
to like this type of editorial, just say
so, and maybe we'll do it again.
NOBODY'S BUSINESS
By Geo McGee
WANTED: A NON SCRATCH
WOOLEN NIGHT CAP
1 know why I sleep In u sleeping
porch in summer, but I can't explain
why 1 sleep in a sleeping porch in
winter. It's either habit or insanity,
or inohho both. To shorten a long
story, my bald head gets mighty cold ,
when the thermometer tickles 19 and
20, as it has been doing hero of lute.
I dedicod to us-o a night-cap. not
the kind you drink, but the kind some
folks wear. 1 knew what I wanted. |
i hud seen so many little girls wearing ,
stocking caps . . . that covered their ,
heads and could be pulled down over |
their ears. 1 felt sure that such a
garment would take good care of my
upper story ... In the sleeping porch.
1 went into over a dozen stores bolero
1 bought what 1 wanted. All of 1
them had the'kind of caps 1 felt that 1
I must have, but as ladies and women 1
only sold such equipment, I got I
ashamed to ask any of them to oven 1
show me one, much less to let me I
try one on. I kept putting it off un- 1
t-i 1 I reached the conclusion that I
ought to buy1 ono for my little niece
... (I have not little niece, but that j
was a good excuse).
I mustered up cdurage enough to
tell a pretty littlo blonde clerk that
I wanted to buy a nice woolen stocking
cap for a littlo niece that had a
little head about the size of my littlo
head. Site showed mo one and I
pulled it down over my cranium and
it felt O.K., so I bought it.
I haven't been able to wear this cap.
It's a war-wool cap, I'm sure, aud the
wool was evidently .cut from the back
of some old billy goat. It scratches
my noodle so I can't stand it. I've
tried it many times, and would always
wake up during a dream where a
bunch of fellows was trying to put a
skull cap on my head that was made
out of barb-wire. I'll just go ahead
and freeze, I reckon.
FARM BOUND
I Hee by the papers that the gbveriii
meat is going to draft labor for farm
work. That's a hot one. I'd like to
know who they are going to draw on
for that purpose. I warrant to haul
every person that will be sent to the
farms in my state (South Carolina),
for actual farm labor, in a wheelbar- 1
row. *
What does a man want to work on j
a farm for under the present circumstances
and conditions? If a man
owns his own farm and works his own
family thereon, the very best he can
hope to do is to make a fair living.
His earnings, even at present farm
prices, won't average over 26c per
hour for actual time spent, in growing
and gathering crops.
One of my neighbors, a farmer and
Jack-leg carpenter, has heretofore
farmed and has grown a reasonably
died crop of stuff . . . which, nil !
old. netted him uhout $500 per year, i
' saw him lust week, he Is workitiK in
'hurleston and is heiiiK paid now
only) $71.35 per week, but expects a
alse pretty soon. Another tenant
armei that barely kept himself in
-hewing tobacco and overalls is geting
$5850 per week. There are mil
ions of others just like these two
allows.
Who will he drafted to do farm lator?
Certainly not the clerks and
chool teachers and industrial workir??
They are already making five
intes as much as any farmer can pay
hem. <Coafers might bo drafted, hut
hey won't work when they reach the
arms. There aim any uso in wishlul
hinklng; the farmers are going to
ise the labor they have at present and
he little they can pick up all along
iiul do the best they can. None Is
;oing to he sent to them unless some
gency, besides the farmer himself,
ays the freight. I'm a farmer; I
hink 1 know what 1 am talking about.

TIP FOR SLICING BREAD
For the housewife who is having
difficulty in slicing bread smoothly,
here Is a tip from the Office of War
Information.
Heat the blade of the knife until
It's a little too hot to touch, then
slice the loaf of bread. It's surprising
how smoothly the blade will glide
through the loaf, slicing cleanly and
evenly, leaving no crumbs to litter
up the table.
