IcreamecTTfl I OommentoJH on &s.'.fgrf Work is to be considered tn relation to the worker as well aa in Its relation to others. The quality of work done reflects the quality and character of the worker. The quality and character of the worker is based on accepting God’s will and keeping surrendered to it. V. 23. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily unto the Lord and not unto men.'* Paul is addressing slaves: hence no exhortation to work but emphasis on the right motive which springs from inner Christian principles. To work heartily is to put one’s soul, his very life, into the work; when this is "done there is dignity in labor. V. 24. "Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the Inheritance that ye serve the Lord Christ. “There should be no thought of one’s worthiness or honor when engaged in work. The reward of God’s servant is not a wage but the privilege of being associated with the Lord in service acceptable to Him. V. 10. “But we beseech ye, brethren. that ye increase more and morq.” Paul is writing here to ths Christians of Mscedonia who were started in doing loving service. But the initial love needs to be increased, and it must be exercised elee it will die. The general subject of this series of lessons is here implied, namely, growth. V.ll. "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business and to work with your hands, as we commanded you. "Selfish ambition is boisterous. One can accomplish more if not talking and put character into his work which bears his mark of good workmanship. There is brotherhood in all working together: better understanding and goodwill follows. V. 6. “Now we commend you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw trom every brother —r Our Preacher Says: When we cannot sleep at night, we can read the precious passages of the Bible from memory. We can recall the wise life-giving admonitions and the glad promises of God. We can bring our spirits into the atmosphere of blessedness, like that of the man described so vividly in the first psalm, "Who meditates day and night, and delights in the law of the Lord," and who is surely “like a tree planted by the river of water." Lesson Prayer: "We are grateful for the privilege. the joy. the ability to be of service to our Great Creator who has made us and will reward each one of us when we are directed, guided and blessed in helping Him make this a good world, fit for a dwelling place for His children.** Book Review Christian perfection by John Wesley, edited by Thomas S. Kepler, The World Publishing Company stresses the dignity of man «s a free moral agent capable of iccepting or resisting the grace of God, and the belief that the Spirit of God is not only in the Bible, •ut also in the souls of living beings. Those desirous of a deeper life and a fuller study of our rich heritage of devotional writings will appreciate this book.

that walketh disorderly and not after the tradition which he received of us. "In the chu/ch then, as now, thre were unworthy mem,bers. Idlers held back conscientious efforts of others; they have not the true spirit of a Christian. Not to be cloeely associated with them la a silent rebuke. V.7. “For ye, yourselves, know ho* ye ought to follow us; for we behaved ourselves not -disorderly. “The best way of teaching is by exampl*. In the Hebrew family every child was taught a trade. Exhortation was made that these people be industrious, for it is'unwise to follow man in all respects. Idleness leads to disorderly behavior, and thus one is going in the wrong direction. The direction one is going is what counts. V.B. "Neither did we eat any man’s bread for.. nought;, but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you." While Paul bold’s up his life as a bard laborer, there is a quiet and silent rebuke, tor they ought to have cared for him so well that he could have given all his time to preaching. V.B. “Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves examples unto you." For fear that what he had said was not well understood, he now sets forth the lesson of his being a good example. There is danger of aelf-praise at thia point, but Paul avoided jplfgiory, honoring tbe-Lord whom he served. VJO. “For even when we were with yon, this we commanded you, that if any man would not work, neither should he eat." Ablebodied men refusing to work are demoralising. V.ll. "For we hear there are some among you which walk disorderly, working not at all but are” busy-bodies." One insisting on being idle loses self-respect and also the respect of others; the idlers form a class of their own and try to excuse their laziness by finding fault with others. Paul kindly exhorts them in plain language that Christ expects them to work, as taught in the following versea.

The Importance of Spiritual Values The importance of spiritual values as a beginning in dealing with juvenile delinquency was stressed by Oveta Culp Hobby, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, in an address to the National Conference on Juvenile Delinquency. “Juvenile delinquency has grown with tremendous rapidity in the past five years ', Mrs. Hobby said. "The number of delinquent youths appearing in courts has set an alltime high. There appears to be an increasing violence in the acts of some adolescents.” In suggesting what can be done, sbe said," I think we start by giving vastly more attention to the values we live by. In our society it is easy to forget that the whole course of life is determined not by material gains or losses but by our spiritual values.” CLERICUS SAYS: "God said in the long age that by the sweat of his brow man should eat bread. It is not tbe task that dignifies tbe man, but the roan who dignifies tbe task. All labor that is honest a»d honorable. in the sight of. God. bas great dignity.”
