Thirdly, newspaper advertising
is the most effective of all the
forms . of advertising; : It is
quick t6 put into - permanent
form,- it is available at any time
of the day, it goes only to those
who buy s the , newspaper, and
cannot build resentment as some
thing rammed down the throat.
That is why, year after year,
peopld spend more -and more on
newspaper advertising. A, It is the
best, most dependable available.
And , everyone knows m,any ,a
good advertiser j has. made . his
fortune by knowing how and,
what to advertise in the news
paper. 1 1 11

aity cause that is 1 dedicated to

THE ASSOCIATED! Q1L: DEALERS
1
The, purpose of our JeSson for
today s to he)p adulta under
stand more fully the. meaning of
'eternal life and its relatipnship
to their Christian faith and ex
perience. ,
The Scripture we are Studying
today is very straightforward,
and therefore easily understood.
Among other things, it. deals
with the resurrection of the dead
and, in particular, the restora
tion to life of Lazarus,' brother
to Martha and Mary. . , v
It deals, also, with Martha's
faith. The deeper 1 meaning of j
this story lies not, however, in
Lazarus' physical healing. . It. is
a fact that he would eventually
face death a second time. - John
is therefore not particularly con
cerned about the restoration -te
life of Lazarus' body. , John,
rather, uses Lazarus as a sign.
He is the symbol of all who are
spiritually dead but, who, by the
living Christ, may be brought to
life. 1 . - !'
To be dead, in the physical
sense in which we use the, word,
means to have lost; the power of
physical ; response. To . John,
death also was a concern of the
soul. Neither preaching, persua
sion, concern,'-" prayer, . events,
conscience nor any other appeal
stirs a reply from the soul that
is spiritually dead. Its life is1
absorbed in the earthly, the sel
fish, the pleasures of the day..
To all the world ot the spirit it
gives ,no heed, ho care. And.
how do we restore the dead? . we?
cannot restore to, the dead bodyj
the power of response as Jesus
did. ,But the emphasis here isi
thing of, temporary being. But
to .give the. dead soul power to
respond to the life of God this
is wonderful. i '
The stupendAusness of this is
borne inoqTuTcwliBn we Consider
that most' of $it converts (church
membership additions) are not
persons dead through trespasses
and sins. ;They are people alive
with sonierporerf of response.
We aptieal to ;thn by personal
visitation or by Asking them to
a church meeting; then, since
they are already somewhat re
ligious, they respond. It, is when
we go out into the highways and
byways of life where men have
no concern and no care, for the
things if the spirit, that we -very
often get - no response. vThis- is
the, problem of missionaries, We
have need' of learning how to
break through 'to the living-dead
people-.who have lost all power
of .' response, and make them
alive" to Cod." '(Romans 6:11).
This is What John is proclaim
ing, In the beginning and in the
end indeed, all-the wy through
Christ is life. "
John, -when he talks about
eternal life" plainly is not talk
ing- about physical testoratiton.
John,, in his storv -about Lazarus,
is not concerned that we will all
die physically.. He u concentrat
ing on: spiritual, - : eternal iiie.
Now, along with other words we
have studied "darkness" and
"born anew" John has a double
meaning for the word "eternal."
Notice how John - always
speaks of this life in the present
tense. It is something Jesus of
fered Nicodemu 'NOW, ; the
Samaritan ' Woman ' NOW, his
disciples NOW, and here to all
believers NOW. For John, eter
nal life is both a present pos
session, as well as a blessing we
can. expect in the future. This
lite is not reserrved for t some
time in the future after' one's
physical death. Eternal life be
gihs here ahd now today! And
being a 'jgift Bf God, it .reaches
beyond physical functions. Bod
dy, fieaUf cannot . affect it, and
since jtjfe from God, it endures
lorever. , ,
In Bhart, we are already living
in eternity. We already know
what heaven is like, for we now
have heaven In.jus Therefore,
physical death only opens the
door to eternni, spiritual life for
the Christina ieliever. . '
Thus, in yet stilt another way, 1 1
a. -- . .. 1
John states his urgent plea that 1
we may believe on Jesus as the V
Lord of life and that, believing,
we may indeed "have life in His
1 name.': , ' .

j wide' world, will we flr.l such a

he Saxons'.had a word for Spring It was
ILencten; 6hortenea; ln time," to Lent , 5
iv- So, the. name, -Lent was. given to that sprtnjr
"time period of 40 fast days from Wednesday
until Easter. - v .. ; . '
' Lent came to mean a time1 of penitence; And
it is. But it is also a, time of preparation, and of -promise.
JFot because Lent means : Spring it
heralds good things to come. It forecasts the glori
ous message of Easter. It is the dawn of the most
beautiful season' of the year. - ,
The bare branches of these trees will burst
into bud and leaf with the touch of Spring. Our.
thoughts during Lent, our personal preparations,
also will reach fruition when the 40 days are'
through. , . .
Lent Is the time for prayer and seltexamina'
tion. Make this Lenten season really mean some
thing by seeking help and guidance at your church
services." ' v ' " '
