How may one surely recognise the will ot God? Dr. F. B. Meyer esys: "This question was answered for me once, in a very dark night we were entering Holyhead haruor. I asked the captain how be went about finding the narrow entrance to the harbor at night. Ho said to me. See yonder throe light*? When these are in line, I am In the right channel. So It is with the will ot God. When the Word ot God, the impulse ot the Holy Spirit io my heart, and the oatward circumstances are In harmony, then I am convinced that I am acting <n accordance with the will ot God " Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer: "We are grateful that when a slave to aln and selfisbneas, in Christ we have been delivered and given a real tree dom, a freedom to give eapresaion to every Christian duty, a freedom that lifts the soul above the bickerings and dissensions of this •world.

Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

Creamed Comments on the Sunday Schoo) Leeson, Paul Champions Freedom and Brotherhood. Acts 15:1-35; Galatians 5:13-18, for Sunday, November 3. The transition from Judaism to Christianity means changes In loyalties; emphasis from salvation by rites and ceremonies Wat to be transferred to simple faith in Christ. Pan] had to champion this new emphasis which was sanctioned by the Jerusalem church. V. 23. "The apostlM and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.” True Christian fellowship has in it greetings and good will and wishing well. V. 24. “Forasmuchas we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying. Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; t<f whom we gave no such commandment.” Profound religious Indoctrination produces prejudice it (be spirit of Christ does not rule. We must be aware of those who aubert the gospel truths truths. V. 25. "It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul." The question under consideration In the Jerusalem conference required time and open and friendly discussion; but it was by the way of harmony that the conference proceeded and reached a unanimous agreement. V. 26. "Men that have haxarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus." These who have en dured hardships and persecutions for their Christian faith make the best Christian ambassadors. Living a true Christian life is not always easy; but it pays in the end. for such are highly esteemed and trustworthy characters to whom Christian service is given. V. 27. "We hive gent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.” Letters and Christian witnesses make undisputed testimony that ought to convince any open minds. V. 28. "For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon Discussion Questions Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions on the Sunday School Lesson. Paul Champions Freedom and Brotherhood for Sunday. November 3. 1. What were the great changes in the transition from the Old Testament way of living to the New Testament? 2. What are the changes to be expected in a Christian convert? 3 What are the best ways of fighting evils? 4. What is the best way to proceed when having trouble with another? 5. In what way does the freedom of a Christian differ from the freedom of one not a Christian? Clericae says: "Freedom Is not the right to do whatever one wanto to do. Freedom in Its true sense means freedom from selfishness und sin which keeps us from doing the things we ought to do. Duty is not destroyed by liberty. Christianity cause* freedom to do every thing that is right. 0 Depression never helps either body or soul. It is percentsge of achievement that counts.

you no greater burden than these necessary things.” Note that they made themselves co-operators with the Holy Ghost so that they could claim divine guidance. But it to understood that there are certain requirements In the Christian life that must be accepted which to some may seem like burdens. What these requirements wore are Indicated in verse2P. V. 13. "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty: only use not liberty for an occasion to tho flesh, but by love serve one another." True Christian liberty is a freedom from all the burden some rites and ceremonies of the Mosaic law; but this liberty io not to bo used as a license to do as one pleases. For one may use freedom for an occasion of the flesh and work selfishness and 01ns as enumerated in verses 19-21 Vl4. "For all tho tow to fulfilled in one word, even In this: Thou shalt love their neighbor so thyself." The Old Testament law of rites and ceremonies Is superseded by the New Testament law ot love. V. 15. "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consented by one another." Lives that are not under the control of the Christian spirit are likely to Indulge in disputes. True love produces tolerance. V. 16. "Thie I uy. Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust ot the flesh." To be fully engaged in expressing the Christian spirit eliminates evil; a life well lived does not lose its energy in fighting evils so much as to make prominent the better way of living. V. 17. "For the flesh luateth agsinst the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye can do the things that you would." When one’s time and energy is taken by mental and moral combats, there la left less time for positive living. V.lB. "But It ye led ot the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” keeping close company with God by bis Spirit releases one from tho bondage ot the law. ■— -o—r~wit I wisdom wl ■ pwweuawewp Hard to Get By A fellow has to be a contortionist to gel by these days.

Two of them had loot »n arm abo. They were all walking >n crutches and each of them was tarring hto own bag. “It seems terrible for those crippled boys to be airing their own bags, porter. Here, give me my bag and Uke theirs,” Dr. Stldger said. The reply was, "Them guya don't want no help. I’m tried to help ’em. it makes ’em mad. They ha« pride, they has. L's porters done learned that. They don't want no help.”

The first assembly of tho World Council of Churches will be held in Holland during 1948. The asaembiy'o central theme will be, "The Order of God and the Present Disorder of Man.” Fifty youth representatives from 18 countries have met at Geneva, Switzerland, to prepare for the World Christian Youth Conference to be held at Oslo. Norway, in 1947. A timely remark Is that of Bis hop Oxman: "The American will not be duped by the stupid propaganda that would turn him from the task of establishing world law and order based on economic justice and racial brotherhood; nor will he tie hypnotized by subtle propaganda that would Inveigle him In the use of revolutionary methods to win bls object Ives.” The Soviet Commissar of Education said, recently, ”1 find that religion to like a nail; the harder you hit it, the deeper you drive it in." This to given as an explanation of Russia's change of treatment of religion in that country. — Nineteen ex-service men were United Presbyterian, commissioned as officers In The Salvation Army from the “Challengers” seashn-claos ot 1946-in the four Training Colleges where cadets study for future leadership in the organistion.
