It la likely that hla first Kpte-

that year.
Place; In that ceae, It waa prob
ably written at Kpbeaua, where
John waa the bishop of the
church.
This lesson la taken from the
first epistle of John. “It la almost
certain that this Epistle waa writ-
ten by the author of the Fourth
Gospel, the as me peculiar style
tad special Ideas appearing moot
conspk'uoualy In both. Though the
author no where designates him-
self au apoatlc, he claims to be
an eye-witness of the Gospel event*
amt a personal disciple of Jesus
Christ (1 John 1:1-3) and be
writes with authority and fatherly
affection for hla readers. Very
early testimony connects the work
wun jonn tne son oi «KH*dee, and
there la no ancient witness for any
other authorship. It given no hint
of any locality where it waa writ-
ten. Probably it came from Ephe-
sus. since John lived there."
“The letter is not written to
those at a dlstauce, but, rather,
to those who were living in the
writer's own diocese. John war
so old that all in the church,
fathers and aona alike, seemed to
him to Ik* little children. To them
all he wrote these words of In-
struction and advice. These young
er generations might read those
words and recall his voice as they
heard him utter them. Tills little
hook would he the last will and
testament of the last of the apos-
tles to the Christian church. It
would go along with hla Gospel
as the church's moat precious
heritage. It would appeal to the
Ghrlstlana of all generations as
directly and aa Intimately as tc
those of John's own duy."—Prof.
D. A. Hayes.

In the portions of the letter treat

They are to show to one another
the spirit of love. “In John’s ex-

becoming numb, when he could
no lonver walk to the |4ace of
Christian assembly, he caused
himself to tie borne thither, that
he might address the brethren;
and this waa Ms whole address:

the same thing to them, and noth-
ing else; to which ha replied that

and If this only were done, enough
was done." "This paragraph is s
worthy complement to the match

In the 13th chapter of hla First
Rpiatle to the Corinthians, for It

praises Its mighty motive, end

The Love of God.
"Herein was the love of God
manifested In us." “The love of
God" here means God's love of
men, not men’s love of God. This
also, marvellous to aay, la mani-
fested through humanity. “That

God's Gift of Love.
The liest illustration and proof
of John's treatise on the love of
God Is the story of the birth of
Jesua Christ In the stAhle at Beth
lehein. The most beautiful of the
udstunts of tills greatest of all
earth's events Is that of Luke’s
Gospel. As wc look U|sm It In
the light of nineteen Christian
centuries wo marvel at Its simpli-
city and loveliness, Its |*»rfivt fit-
ness to show God's love for men.
How <<ould he better do this than j
by coming to earth to live man's
life with him, from the cradle to
the grave7 And if he had come
as an admired sage, or as a pow-
erful conqueror, or as a man of;
amaxlug wealth, or as u mighty j
ruler, lu* would uot then have cm- i

WHY WINTER
COOKING REQUIRES
MORE GAS

biiii irt higher in win-
that it takas muck
more km to keep them *varm during severe month#
then in periods of mild weether.
In eeeee. however, where gas is used only for
eooklng, consumers sometime wonder why their
bills srs higher then In summer.
There ere several reasons, one of which Is that
more hot food ie eaten in winter then in summer.
Water coming from the faucet in summer fre»
quentiv averages aro—d 70 degrees in temperature
while In winter it may average as low as 46 de-
gress, or a temperature lower than that of the
ice water yon drink la summer.
Thus, In winter, the temperature ed the wafer
may have to ho raised 167 degrees to roach the
boiling point, wan* in rumt m mmj
to raise It only 14C degrees er even lose.
This same situation applies In more or lees de-
gree to all breaches of cookery. The articles of
food go Into the even er oa the stove at a lower
temperature tfcaa ta summer, the uteaeili are solder
and the afr fa and around the stove is colder—ee
more gas is required for cooking in winter than la
summer'oven If the same menus are need.

You coast along with a delightful
