In this ;esson we change from the history of the life o.' Christ a* lived 'by Himself to the practice of that life as lived by His follower*. Paul' was born In Tarsus about the same time as Jevus was b;>rn in Bcth- lehem. tie wrote this letter to the Human s probably in A. D. 5S. In this chapiter Paul shows the need of tha fourfold development expressed in l^ukfe 2: 52. W( must grow physical- ly, mentally, socially and religiously. Vdrse 2. Conformity to this world, or the present order of things, is de- triK*tIv ( because things are tempor- al wjiile principles are eternal. The mint) la renewed by truth, ami Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Through obedience to Him wo prove tho perfect will of God. Verse 9. The love here meant, is the lo-ve of ona Christian for another. , Hypocrisy is an old-fashioned sin that I dona new-fHs'hk>ned clothes every generation. Through Christian growth we will be led to repel it as a dishonorable thing, while being at- tracted to that which is good. Sin 1s the greatest curse, ' the greatest disaster and the greatest, fascination in the world. Verse 10. "Let. every brother be able to know that his good name, his every interest, is safe, in every broth- er's hands." Our greatest exaltation is in exhaulting others. Verse 11. L>o not waste life's strength or dissipate its powers. Pur- pose and hig' ideals are back of every achievement. Verse 1L'. Some one has said that the world has already half destroyed us when we are too busy to pray. Verse 13. To the ext?nt that pov- erty exists, alleviate it; to the extent that poverty is unnecessary, prevent it. Hospitality is getting to be a lost art. It is time to revive it. Verse 14. The deepest injury that comes from wrongs done to us is that it provokes resentment and anger in ourselves. "A soul filled with hate is a sorry spectacle." On the con- trary, doing good both requires and stimulates noble impulses. Verse 15. Human sympathy is one of the finest qualities of the soul. Tin- capacity to feel with others Is the tie that binds hearts in friendship and kindly affection. Verse Hi. No doctrine of the Nw Testament is more frequently stress- ed thu;i that, of the unity from the realization of His ideals as expressed in His prayer (John 17). Verse 17 Paul'* teaching through- out these precepts is a faithful rc- flei-tion nf the teachings of Chris- ::t the Sermon on the Mount. Takinr; thought for things honorable nuts life's programme upon a constructive basis. Verse is. You may n;)t be abh- al ways to preserve peace, but you can refrab from provoking war. V> :-! 19. Avenging justice is the prerogative of Cod. and not of men. We are not sufficiently able to know 0110 another's motives to sit in judg- ment upon one another's .nets. Verses 20, 21. There is but one way to conquer an enemy. ifis enmity will thrive upon your hatred, but will languish and die in the light of your good will. Tie desires your resi-nUnent; he does nor know what to do with your kindness. Were the worUl t') closely adhere to these teachings, it would banish war and bloodshed forever.

ROSA 1,1 M). Jean Honestly. I think you are foolish to think so much about this young man. In the first place, you hardly know him and in the second place, while you are worrying over him you may be overlooking some very good friends among the -people you know already. Make yourself a fel friend to everybody and if Fate wills it. you will see more of the youog man you are so anxious to know.
