h . . —: • ‘ [Creamed RI • I Comments i On S.S.«S«CO| B Lesson j — Creamed Comments on the Sun dal School Lesson of Christian Character (Temperance Lesson) Ephesians 5:6-21 for Sunday, March 14. This lesson to be treated as a temperance lesson does not have much to say on the subject with the exception of verse 18. Indirectly the subject might be considered a part of the program of sobriety which is the outstanding thought of the lesson. V. 6. “Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. The kind of deception Paul had in mind is the doctrine that an immoral man may have some inheritance in the kingdom of God (see verse 5). Words which try to reconcile religion with wickedness are empty and vain. V.7. “Be ye not therefore par(takers with them.” One should not i endanger his soul by association | with the immoral and wicked. | V.B. “For ye were sometimes I darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord; walk as children of light.” One reason why believers and unbelievers should be socially separated as far as possible is because both character and aim is different. V. 9. “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth." Goodness, righteousness and truth are the high principles that govern the lives of believers. V.lO. “Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord." Christians should take as their standard of life the things which please God. Here is a test to apply to all such things as doubtful amusements and harmful pleasures. V.ll. "And have no fellowship I with the unfruitful works of dark- ! ness. but rather reprove them." i Believers should live in the open. I Christians should act so that at the xTose of the day they would not be afraid for God to publish the entire history of the day. Instead of associating closely with unbelievers. Christians should reprove them. But to reprove takes a lot of Christian grace. V. 12. “For it is shame even to* speak of those things which are I done of them in secret." Proper publicity is one of the most potent remedies for impurity of Oup Preacher It is to bad that everyone should suffer the inconvienience of having troubles, and fail to get out of them the blessings God designed he should through having them. These are blessings to be received in trouble, and in times of trouble, that can lie received in no other way, and at no other time. When troubles come, look for the blessngs that may come through them, ind put yourself in the way of receiving them. Times of trouble tre occasions for the exercise, development. strengthening, and improvement of all the virtues that

I heart and life. , I Disease germs multiply in dark I bedrooms and cupboards. I V. 13. "But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatever doth make manifest is light.” As Christ reigns in our hearts and lives are we made sunny within, pure and heal- >■ thy without and only .then can we n shed light upon others. >• V. 14. “Wherefore he saith. Awake "■ thou that sleepest, and arise from d the dead, and Christ shall give t thee light. "This verse takes the t form of an appeal to wake out of >• the pagen condition of sin describe ed by the twofold figure of sleep a and death and of the promise that I- then Christ shall shine upon the sinner with the saving light of i his truth. f V. 15. “S?ee then that ye walk f circumspectly, not as fools but as - wise.” Christians are to walk care--1 fully in a moral and spiritual sense, t avoiding every evil thing. One j » should not walk carelessly without I having principles of action; then > one should make sure that those . principles are right.

V. 16. “Redeeming the time, be- . cause the days are evil." One redeem time by using those moi ments which others seem t<s throwaway, steadily improving every prei sent moment so that in some mea- , sure the time lost may be regained. Other things being equal the man who uses well every minute succeeds. V. 17. “Wherefore be ye not unwise. but understanding what the will of the Lord is." The chief way in which we may obtain an understanding is through a study of i God's word. The Spirit of the Lord will help illuminate our minds as to what the will of God is. V.lB. “And be not drunk with wine wherin is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." Drunkenness is debauchery which is degrading; every drink pointe to such a possible end. The only way to I get full is to be filled with Spirit. V 5.19.20. “Speaking to yourselves I in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; j giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ?*) Joyful feelings ought to be ed and here is the value of song. 1 There is spiritual power in a sacred song well sung. V. 21. "Submitting yourselves one I to another in the fear of God.” j Every thing should be done for peace and harmony and this calls | for a certain surrender of one's I wishes to fit into the program of. others. go into the glowing galaxy that enhances, beautifies and gives grace and charm to life. It is too bad that i any of us should miss these golden | I opportunities by failing to improve them. — H.O.F. 0 Wit . a! !
