Card Of Thanks Editor, The Messenger: I want to take this opportunity of expressing through your col umns my appreciation, and that of all the children, of the affec tion and friendship shown us in our hour of trial when tragedy entered our home. The loss of a husband and fa ther was, to us, indeed a tragedy. The circumstances surrounding the sudden passing of our loved one were such that there follow ed several days of strain calling for fortitude that none of us pos sessed, and speaking for myself, as well as the children, had it not been for the wonderful response of those who knew and loved us and who came to our rescue in our time of need the burden would have been more, I fear, than we could have stood.

Golden Text: Mark 8:35 When Jesus asked the disci- pies the opinions of men con cerning him, their answer indi cated that men ranked him among the greatest of Israel’^ past. But he is infinitely more than the greatest among men, and the matter of supreme impor tance to ev6ry man is his own o- pinion concerning the Christ. In answer to the second question. “But who say ye that I am?” Peter said, “Thou art the Immediately Jesus evidently up set the twelve by foretelling his death. Peter’s statement show* that the disciples did not think the Messiah could die. Later they were destined to learn, as thou sands since have learned, that through suffering and death the Messiah would become the Savior. Afterward Jesus invited the disciples and the multitude to share the fellowship of his suf ferings that they might also shar-* in his life. “Giving is Life, With holding is Death,” is the title of a poem that finds an illustration of the Golden Text in the topo graphy of Palestine. What Galileo receives it gives and around it is verdant life; farther south a lar ger sea keeps all its store an I there is barrenness around it and awful significance in its name. The lesson closes with the star tling question of profit and loss. Reason can give but one answer to the Master’s question. Nothing can compensate a man for the loss of his soul. Then let us re joice that in Him who was made perfect through suffering we may* lose ourselves and save ourselves evermore. —Buy Defense Bonds— Conference For The B. T. U.
