I would say she was a keen- businesslike woman; just the woman to keep a house perfectly Ncw no progress can be made in the Christian life until we are in the right attitude before God. But pro- gress is made in the Christian life conditions and attitude being right. The Word of God has not. only state: these facts. but has also given us examples of both of those folks we have just mentioned. '80 I want gto bring to your memory three picâ€" ’tures presented in the scriptures of a home in the little village of Beth- iany where resided two sisters and a (brother in the days of our Lord. It was such a home where our Lord used to visit as it was one of the tightest spots in His earthly life. He had no home of His own on earth, He had left the Ivory Palaces and came down to earth, because man had lost his way. came to seek and to bring him back to the Father, and eventually to a Home He was going to prepare for Him. But while here, He had no home of His own, but He had a home of Friendship, one of these places into which He could go and throw off all the restraint which is proper and necessary to one en- gaged in public ministry. I suppose all of us have homes outside of our own, where we can be quite “At Home” and feel no needI of keeping up appearances, for the eyes that look upon us and the hearts that welcome us are the eyes and hearts of love. I know I have homes where I go in another city, where I am free to pull off my coat on a warm day, and throw myself on the couch and rest; I call it my home away from home. In this home in ‘Beth- any Jesus found such a place, and the Sacred Writer gives us an ac- count of three of His visits there, with friends He loved, “For John 11:5 says “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus." The first picture recorded! of these visits is found in Luke 10:38-42, Now a great many things are said about Martha and Mary, not so much about Lazarus, but the two sisters are very prominent in these narratives. There is excellencies in each of these W0- men, and it would be difficult for us to do without our .busy Martha’s in our homes. But I want you to note that our Lord’s estimate is that “Mary had chosen. the good part which was not to be taken away from her.” I have a sermon on Martha I gave in two different churches. In the one I had to repeat it and was asked on a return visit to that city to give it again. In the other I stirred up opposition from the Ladies’ Aid of my church they never got over it all the while I was there. uH-A-‘H‘Iflâ€"l-A‘A al.4- Why can I not? Why is it I get so flustered when things do not go my way? Is there a place, an Attiâ€" tude of mind and heart where I too lean find sweet peace and content- ment and daily be victorious? Yes, my dear friend there is a place, and it is for you. The poet in the Gospel song has put it right. “There is a place of quiet. rest Near to the heart of God A place where sin cannot molest Near to the Heart of God." When man as HE ISâ€"Meets God as HE IS. there and only there is the answer to every question, to ev- ery pcblem and every difficulty of ery life But how many dear folks whose lives are characterised by conscious defeat andl failure; they realize they are not growing in grave and the knowledge of 'God. They have seen others whose life is one of content- ment, they have a peace in their daily life and God is so real to them; come what may, sorrow, sickness of even death they are not movedl, they have no fear even if the battle is hard, they have attained the posi- tion the Apostle Paul declared “I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content" and also with Job of old who said “Though He slay me I will trust Him.“ l Every B-eliever has untold riches. The word of God1 has told us that we are Heirs of God and Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ. This is a glor- lious truth which runs through the inspired word of God both in the Old Testament as well as the New; that God can meet man, come to man, the moment that man takes the right place before Him; and in perfect free, sovereign, unqualified g'race meet evâ€" ery need, spiritual, temporal and physical. Every temptation that may cross our pathway, that victory is assured. He may have contentment, free from worry because we have the .presence of Him Who is all and in all, the Mighty Conqueror. ’ MEDITATION By Rev. J. H. Dudgeon Farms and village property for sale and exchange Richmond Hill Phone 1 (In my next article we will see the next two visits of Jesus to this home). Oh the host of folks in Martha"s condition. They love the Lord, but things have got them. They say they run their home. No the home runs them. They say they run their business on- their farm. No they run them. There is something better than service. Mary found it. Have you? And you? :She forgot that service was only accepted as it is filled with commun- ion with the Lord. No amount of service will make up for the loss of this inward fellowship with Christ; this hidden life of love in which Christ and the consecrated heart are bound together in a holy intimacy. Oh you dear soul; we know you love the Lord and you did want to serve Him well. But things have got you. Dinner has got you. But let us go back to the kitchen where Martha is. She is looking worried and distracted, perhaps the fire would not burn; the biscuits did not rise, the fine Angelcake fell flat in the oven. She cannot get through the work as she hoped to, 'besides she is getting tired, and now she is fret- ful. She is cumnbere-dl with things. They have got her. First she is crmbered. Then she feels cross with her sister who is sitting in with Jesus. She no doubt thought “What right has she to be in there and I having so much to do”; then note (Oh I would say it softly) she gets cross with Jesus and she goes in and says “Dost Thou not care that my sister hast left me to serve alone?” Angry with her sister and finally relfecting upon the Master putting the blame on Him for her weariness.l We must learn the difference be- tween learning a‘bout the Christ and learning of Christ. We may be good Theologians but poor Christians. Let us learn from Mary. How impress- ed she is with :His superior wisdom. See how absorbed she is. .She knew it was dinner time, but she found something better than a meal. Now what about Mary? What was she doing? Some people say that Mary just sat at Jesus feet and heard" His words. Th great Bible teacher Dr. Campbell Morgan gives us new light about Mary. He draws attention to one little word recorded in the narrative which gives us that light. Look at verse 39., “She had a. sister‘called Mary which also sat at the feet of Jesus and heard His wor .” You see Martha being the ruling spirit there. Lazarus is a- round somewhere; perhaps he carried in the wood and got a pail of water from the spring. . But. he is not men- tioned here. But Mary is introduced as Martha’s sister. Now see what Mary’s position is. “She also satâ€" ALSOâ€"is the word» Dr. Campbell Morgan brings to our notice. I can- not but believe but Mary had some- thing to do and when she got her work done she came in and sat at His feet. Why say also if she had no work, if she was a loafer. I be- lieve she had taken her part in the work of the house and when she was through she came and' sat down at Jesus feet. She did not allow things to rob her of this opportunity. She was a learner, and humbly she sat at His feet and in this position she not only could learn by Him but to learn OF’F Him. Not Only did she hear the truth from Him, but rather she found the truth IN Him. The place of quiet rest. Now Martha, being as it appears the head of this house, when Jesus came that day she was the one to greet Him, and give Him a welcome and soon after she is out to the kit- chen to get dinner ready. She is so eager and active the one thought that the Master must have the very best that nothing must be left unâ€" doneithat will add to His comfort. Grand woman is she not? straight in every detail. One of those women who if you received an invi- tation to visit there, you would be careful to remove your rubbers at the door, or you would see to it no mud was on your shoes, and when you sat in one of her easy chairs you would be careful to keep those dangling- things straight, and not let them fall on the floor. A bustling woman. always eager to do things for everybody, forgetful of her own personality in her desire to do someâ€" thing for someone else. R. H.

While residents of Ontario often like to think of themselves as the “non plus ultra” of themselves a- mong the Provinces of the Dominion, a report tabled: in the House of Commons at Ottawa relating to prosecutions by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, would seem to send a, different slant.
