NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—John
GOLDEN TEXT—Verily, verily. I ley
onto thee. Except a man be bom again,
be cannot aee the kingdom of God.—
John 3:3.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Answering a
Man's Question.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Most Important
Question.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—How the Christian Life Begins.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—New Life In Christ
The only entrance into the Chris
tian life is by the door of the new
birth. Regeneration is the act of
God whereby the divine nature is
imparted to the believing sinner
and he becomes the child of God. -
He who has not entered by this way
has not entered at all. He is still
dead in trespasses and sins, with
out God and without hope (Eph.
2:1, 12).
Men are seeking to enter the
household of God by almost any
other means—culture, reform, char
acter building—and are neglecting
God’s way. This lesspn should there
fore be studied and^taugltU, with j
earnest prayer that this fouhdation '
truth may lay hold upon the hearts
of the hearers of the Word. Let no
one who is not bora again attempt
to teach it to others, lest the blind
attempt to lead the blind, and both
fall into the ditch (Luke 6:39).
The coming of Nicodemus to our
Lord took place ..at the time when
he was in Jerusalem for the Pass
over. Jesus had chosen six of his
disciples, had been at Cana of Gal
ilee, where he performed his first
miracle, and had made a brief visit
to Capernaum, after which he came
to Jerusalem for the feast. In high
and holy indignation he had driven
the money changers out of the tem
ple. The Pharisees who looked for
the coming of the Messiah as a
secular conqueror wondered at this
new spiritual leader. It was prob
ably as much on their behalf as his
own that Nicodemus came to in
quire of Jesus. In answering his
questions Jesus reveals the neces
sity, the nature, and the method of
regeneration—in other words, the
Why, What, and How of the New
Birth.
L Why? (w. 1-7.)
Jesus was not unduly impressed
by the dignity and high station of
his visitor, nor by the visitor's cour
teous acknowledgment of his own
position as a great teacher. With
decisive boldness Jesus declares
that this man, a cultured and dis
tinguished ruler of the Jews, must
be bora again, if he is to see the
kingdom of God.
God is no respecter of persons.
This "doctor of divinity” must be
bora again, just as was the illiterate
fisherman. D. L. Moody once said
that he was thankful it was to such
a man as Nicodemus that Jesus
presented the necessity of the new
birth—or men would have said that
only the down-and-outer needed to
be saved.
Two reasons are given by our
Lord for the “just” of verse 7:
(1) The Kingdom of God is a spir
itual kingdom, and cannot be en
tered by way of our human nature;
and (2) "That which is born of the
flesh is flesh” and is radically and
essentially bad. To learn why the
flesh- is bad read Jeremiah 13:23,
and Galatians 5:19-21. Scripture on
this point is almost diametrically
opposed to much Of the teachings in
our schools and colleges. But God’s
Word is right; let us follow it
n. What? <w. 8-13).
The new birth is a divine mys
tery, not fathomable by human
reason. Those who insist that all
spiritual truth be put through the
little norm of their intelligence will
never understand It or receive its
blessing. The striking illustration
of the life-giving and energizing
wind used by our Lord is most il
luminating. Wind is unseen, but
the results of its movement are evi
dent Even so the spiritual rebirth
of men is an enigma to the worldly
man, but even he can see its re
sults in godly living.
III. How? (w. 14-17.)
Just as there was healing and life
in a look at the uplifted serpent
(Num. 21:8), so there is life for a
look at the Crucified One. Faith re
ceives God's perfect provision for
sin.
Verse 16 may well be regarded
i the greatest sentence in the
greatest Book in the world. It
presents the whole plan of salva
tion—its source, its ground, its re
cipients, its condition, and its re
sult.
This glorious salvation is for all
— “whosoever" — but some
reject it. Notice that God does not
condemn them. Their own evil
works and desires condemn them
<w. 17-20). God in his grace is
ready and willing to save, but men
love “darkness rather than light";
ior their works are evil.

A Trio for the Younger Set
THREE more intriguing num
bers than these would be hard
to imagine—even in this day of
rampant fashion and scintillating
style! It’s a trio that the younger
set in The Sewing Circle will be
enthusiastic about too, for first
consideration is given them in—
Pattern 1996—This excellently
styled jumper dress is one the tot
of six and the lass of fourteen
will sing long and loud over. It
is a guaranteed delight for both
mother and daughter because it's
the simplest thing to sew and the
most intriguing frock a child ever
had. The puff of the sleeves and
the flare of the skirt place a pretty
accent on youth. Available for
sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years.
Size 8 requires 1% yards of 35
inch material for the jumper and
196 yards for the blouse.
Pattern 1202—There’s subtle love
liness about this new dress for
all occasions. It makes a grand
thing of simplicity—a brilliant suc
cess of the new silhouette. But
tons, bold shiny ones, add classic
chic to the back. And in the matter
of sleeves there’s an opportunity
to choose for oneself. Sheer wool,
challis, taffeta or silk crepe will
be a likely material for this dress.
Designed for sizes: 12, 14, 16, 18
and 20. (30 to 38 bust). Size 14
requires 296 yards of 54 inch fab
ric. With long sleeves 2% yards.
Wine Poured Forth
HAT can I get out of
VV ufe?” is the poorest
question with which to ap
proach it. No life is worth liv
ing on that basis—which is why
there are so many disappoint
ed and so many cynieal people.
The true rule is different:
Measure thy life by loss in
stead of gain,
Not by the wine drunk, but the
wine poured forth;
For love's strength standeth in
love’s sacrifice,
And whoso suffers most has
most to give.
Think of ease but work on.
| Pattern 1936—This is the season
for smocks, although not the
‘hunting season,’ thanks to today’s
new model, pictured here. This
ideal smock obviates any further
search, for indeed, in simple
words it is the McCoy! Imagine
the fun of haying a smock that
reflects one’s own taste in its ev
ery detail—yes, even to the size
and color of the scarf and buttons.
Designed in sizes: 32, 34, 36, 38,
40, 42 and 44. Size 34 requires 4%
yards of 39 inch material. The
bow requires 114 yards of ribbon.
A detailed sewing chart accom
panies each pattern to guide you
every step of the way.

No Poverty in Bali
In Bali the people produce
enough food in four months to last
a whole year, leaving eight months
to be devoted to leisure and the
pursuit of happiness. The only
vices known to the inhabitants of
this earthly paradise are gaming
and cockfighting. There is no
poverty. People have so little use
for money that they bury it—until
necessity calls.—Chicago Tribune.
