I Creamed m I ’ Comments on as.*. L_ Lessonj&gjgf Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Christ Above All, Colossians 1:3-20, for Sunday, August 16. ~ . Paul. Who never had visited ths Colossians, having heard of errors which discountedf Christ, writes from Rome this theological treatise presenting an ideal Christian life and how to attain it. V. 3, “We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” Gratitude to God draws out the best within oneself. God is the Father of Christ in a unique sense which we ban not fully comprehend, for the Fatherhood is eternal. Note how Paul prays for them. V. 4. “Since we heard of your faith in Jesus Christ and of the love ye have to all the saints.” Faith, love, and hope are the; earmarks of true religion. Faith is the Initial step in salvation which if sincerely exercised brings into the life God’s love that blossoms out into hope. Salvation to be maintained must be expressed, one way being love to all the saints. V. 5, “For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of •the truth of the gospel.” True Christians enjoy a heavenly and continuous friendship of the highest order. Preceding this experience was the acceptance of the gospel truths. V. 6. "Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it does also in you. since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth.” Wheinever the gospel is preached it has the potency to bear the fruit of faith, hope and love. , ' V.7. "As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ.” The Colossian preacher. Epaphras, was visiting Paul' in prison at Rome to whom he had given a good report. See verse 8. V - "For this cause also, since the day we heard it,, did not cease to pray; for you and to desire that ye. might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and understanding.” The will of 6od must be known before Out Pwaciwi I - What does yojir anxiety db? It does not empty tomorrow of Its sorrow: but it empties today of its strength. It does not make you escape the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it whpn it comes. It does not bless tomorrow, and it robs today. For every day its own fyirden. God gives us .mwer to bear all the sorrow of his making; but he does not give us the power to bear the sorrows of our own making, which the anticipation of sorrow most assuredly is. —lan Maclaren. Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: “We pray that ?ur wrong thinking he supplanted by the mind of Christ. Grant that we may so feed on God’s word '.hat his eternal truths shall so possess 'Us as to eliminate evil houghts. May we strive daily to please God. keeping ourselves constant! j and fully surrendered to bis will. . — ... ...—

it can be acted upon; hence a know-ledge of God and his will concerning us is a primary requisite of all true growth in grace. When God’s truth is accepted all error goes out. V. 10; “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” That which pleases God is increasing in hope and love. Being faithful is a matter of pleasing God all the time.- ’*.!»' Ji i V.ll. "Stengthened with all might; according to his glorious power, unto all patience and' longsuffering with joyfplness.” If we please God our lives should exhibit patience, long-suffering and joyfulness in all trying circumstances. This requires strength that comes only from God. V. 12. "Giving thapks unto the Father which hath dliade us to be partakers of the inheritance of saints in the light;” Paul prays for fruitfulness which is marked by a spirit of thankfulness. V. 13. "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son;” God translates us from spiritual darkness into his kingdom. V. 14. “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the. forgiveness of sins:” This verse expresses the atonement of Christ. V. 15. "Who is the image of the invisible God, the first born of every creature;" Christ is exactly like God. The Son existing before the 'creation miist be regarded as eternally with the Father. This thought is further explained in »the two following verses. Priority and dignity are ascribed to Christ. ; V.lB. "Ana he is the head of the body, the church.” Christ is preeminent at the head of and above the church; making it a divine institution. V. 19. "For it pleased Father that in him should all fulness dwell;” All the divine qualities of God dwell hi Christ. No greater description can be given of Christ than this. The purpose of God’s full revelation is seen in the following verse,; namely, reconciling sinful man to God. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education. National Council of the Churches of Christ in the I U.S.A., and used by permission. CLERIOUS SAYS: Clericus says: “The promise of Jesus Christ is the promise of de-liverance-deliverance from the power of darkness and translation into the power ot Christ’s kingdom. When we give our lives wholly to Christ, he does not pacth them up or Repair I them—he gives us new lives. He does not jqst make it eajsier to resist temptation—he lifts us up above the power of temptatiop." Book Review Pastoral Counseling, by Frederick 'R. Knubel, The Muhlenberg Press, shows the need of the techniques and philosophies of practical psychology in pastoral counseling. but he also presentiE its dangers, reminding the pastorcto use the Bible in his work as well. The author also evaluates Other lMM)ks for use in this field." The kindness of others, remember; your own, forget. Hope and patience are undefeatable. Tn forgiveness and revenge are the weak pleasures of little and \ narrow minds. — . i —

I would preach at 1 Gloucester tonight, and tomorrow morning,' at Tewkesbury in the afternoon, to my friend Martini house fur entertainment, converse and pray with the family, as usual, retire to my room at 10:0if o clock, commgnd myself to my heavenly' Father, lie doAn to rest, and wake up in glory.” -+- Christian Monitor. Christian Education Religious leaders are calling for a new evaluation of education, stressing the need of making it Christian. Attention is called to the important' place Chrigianity had in the early history of our schools. In fact, our first colleges were founded bn the Bible. The Bible was a book in the public schools. Later the Bible was displaced with readers containing Bible stories; then later, there were introduced readers in which all Bible ;■ stories were omitted so that the Bible is the forgotten bobk. On the other hand, attention is called to the fact that the life and tjie spirit of the Gospel is lacking Ao that our educational system from the grade schools to the universities is secular. Needed transformation may come when the spirit of Christianity accompanies all teaching. The most important class of people in the United States are its teachers who' can evolve Christian education which in turn will produce a Christian democracy. Th? acid test ,of A man's religion is his >Mbnday' behavior. Love is like the' moon; when it does not increase, it decreases.
