EDITOR'S K.OTE: Lnton rubjttu and Scripture texts selected »ni eeprrighted by International Council cl Religioue Education, need by paranoica. Bv WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D. Os The Moody Bible Institute, ChlcafO. IT IS true that the Christian life gives offense on occasion. When a controversy exists between men and God, the Christian has no other course of action than to align himself on God’s side. As he takes his stand in such cases, he should do it in love, but nevertheless with firmness. The Bible nowhere commends a critical spirit or a perverse attitude. It rather emphasizes the necessity of firmness in the course of right, a firmness that loses nothing of its intensity through being tempered in the fires of love. The Christian beyond all others should give himself to a life manifesting sympathy, kindness and charitableness. Thus he will open avenues of opportunity, of witness, and of service in which the Lord may be greatly magnified. I. Contributing Factors to the Marring of Good Will (Prov. 3:30, 31; 22:24, 25; 25:18; 26:20, 21). VARIANCE and strife mar good will (Prov. 3:30, 31). Notice that this strife is unoccasioned. When we strive with men to no purpose; whMMnen have not harmed us, and wim*bitterness of spirit we turn upon them, we of course forfeit everyf opportunity to influence them for’ good. The man of variance similarly should be passed by. We are not to emulate him; we are not to envy him; we are to choose none of his ways. A wrathful spirit also mars good will (Prov. 22:24, 25). A man of anger is not to be followed by the child of God. This passage enjoins us to have no friendship with such individuals, for there is danger that we shall learn their ways and their ways will then be a snare to our souls. Another way in which we mar good will is to be the purveyors of untruth (Prov. 25:18). The false witness is characterized as a large hammer or a sword or a sharp arrow, for he wounds his neighbor, often grievously. The man or the woman who in gossip has maliciously wounded another loses all opportunity to Influence him for God. The cultivation of good will involves the speaking of truth. Let us with all diligence, with the help of God, banish from our hearts and minds all of these attitudes which hurt and mar. 11. Contributing Factors to the Making of Good Will. 1 N THE first place, the soft answer ■* of the controlled spirit will establish good will (Prov. 15:1, 18). The soft answer does turn away wrath. The man who is slow to anger appeases strife. Let us not confuse a soft answer with an unconvincing one, or with that mealy-mouthed procedure that we commonly call double talk. Happy is that man who knows how to present the truth convincingly, who can make men, despite his opposing standards, understand that he has their good at heart. Os course, there is one absolute requisite to such a testimony, and that is a life wholly lived for God. Another factor in making good will is the act of kindness (Prov. 25:21, 22). This passage, you will remember, is quoted in Romans 12. Here is the opportunity for us, in nil matters of personal injury, to place our case in the hands of God rather than to seek revenge. By such acts of kindness, as we trust God, we shall be obeying the Lord; and who knows but that our enemies may thus be turned to him. A third contributing factor in making good will is that of making peace (Matt. 5:9). So often this busmess of attempting to make peace is a thankless task, but that thanklessness is only from human sources. So far as God is concerned, he has placed his seal of approval upon every child of his who seeks to lead men into peace with God and to make peace between men. God speaks of them as being “called” sons of God. It is one thing to be a son of God; it is another thing to be acknowledged as a son of God. 111. The Source of Good Will (James 3:17). '■p'HAT wisdom will be character•l ized by purity, peaceableness, gentleness, approachableness, mercy, and will be without partiality and without hypocrisy. This wisdom which is from above is guaranteed to those who know him who has i’ si made unto us wisdom (L Cor. 1-39). Released by Western jfeWSpsper Umon.

the end of the party and the men at each table gathered the chairs and tables, while the women took charge of the dishes and silverware and the entire lawn was cleared before any rain fell. Senator Willis sounded the first bit of optimism heard from a speaker’s rostrum in northern Indiana in some tinfe. He said that he was confident that America would again arise to the occasion and that the needy of the world would be cared for. He reminded the guests that the United Nations was still a hope and he expressed faith in the people of America to take part in government to help preserve “the greatest free government in the world.” The highlight of the address was his statement ‘that 26 different nations in the history of the world since the beginning had risen to become world leaders.” He continued to explain that most of these nations had risen to greatness through military strength, but that the “United States had risen to greatness because of its profound trust in God. and for that reason the United States had stayed great and will continue to stay great.” The lawn party supplanted the regular Thursday meeting of the Decatur club. Many of the guests remained during the early part of the storm and were entertained by
