LESSON TEXT I Corinthians 11:20-27: Romans 13:13. 14: Ephesians 5:18-21. I MEMORY SELECTION Let us walk! honestly, as in the day. Romans 13:13. I ' Temperance is readily taugh from the epistles of Paul for he wasi constantly moved by the Holy Spirit -to exhort the churches and individ-j ual Christians to a careful and: worthy walk before God. 1 In doing so he was not afraid to speak plainly about the use of in-i , toxicants. Perhaps his brethren in Jthe ministry today should consider, him and take courage. 1 Our lesson is a temperance Iesson.j and since some twist that word intemperance" to fit almost any kind' of indulgence, we should like to quote a careful evaluation of it by Dr. W. R. White: - "Temperance is a seriously misunderstood word. The best definition we know defines it as abstaining from that which is harmful, and using moderately that which is legitimate. We would not advise a man jto be moderate in teasing a rattle-, snake. We would not tell him that t is all right to steal, lie or commit adultery just so he is temperate, about it. We would not tell a man to use dope moderately. . . . We could tell a man to be moderate about eating meat or any other' wholesome thing." The only way to be temperate about liquor is to let it alone! , ' I. The Wrong Way and the Eight Way in the Church (I Cor. 11:2027). ' There were a number of disorderly things about the Corinthian church which needed correction. One' of these concerned the Lord's Sup- . per. A time which should have giv-j en them a blessed unity in fellowship and love had become just the . opposite. j ' It was their custom to eat a socalled love feast before the sacrament, end instead of making it a time of loving and sharing, the rich ate their sumptuous meals and let a poor brother gnaw on a crust pi bread. i Then feasting led, as" U so often does, to excesses. Sone became drunken on the wine hcT even partook of the Lord's Supper while intoxicated. We are not so much concerned with the Lord's Supper in this lesson as we are with the behavior of those who attended. Think of com-! ing to the holy table drunk! It seems impossible, and yet it happened. J Do we not still let the poor in our midst shift pretty well for themselves? The rich flaunt their affluence and let the poor get along on their crust of bread. The church needs to renew its scriptural appreciation of What fellowship and communion really means. II. The Wrong Way and the Eight Way in the Community (Rom. 13: 13, 14). i . This chapter of the epistle to the Romans concerns the right behavior! of the believer in his civic relationships. He is a citizen of heaven,! but he is also a citizen of the com-, munity in which he lives. ' The use of intoxicants which a generation ago was a shameful thing is now generally accepted. The! home in which liquor was served was a disgrace; now "cocktail" is one of the first words children learn.

What is the explanation? Is liquor street. Bro. Watts will speak I Youth Meeting Monday, 6:30 any less destructive and demoral- w-or6js 0f exhortation from Acts 6. P- raizing? Certainly not! Is it then Let us assemble to worship ac-1 Prayer Service Wednesday, true that people are more candid cordi,lg to the aposties doctrine. 1 7:00 p. m.

ana open aouui wan uwy uo: , it is rather that moral standards have slipped to the point where they: are no longer ashamed when they should be, if they thought straight! j ( Along with the liquor go all the , things enumerated in verse 13. Oh, i the awful depth of sex degradation, of plain ordinary indecency and dis- ; honesty, of strife and envy. It is not a nice picture, but it is true. : The right way is found in verse 1 14. It was reading these two verses I in his mother's open Bible that led Augustine to Christ He saw and ! took the right way. Will others do I likewise? III. The Wrong Way and the Right Way in the Heart (Eph. 5:18-21).!! This is a personal matter. The, man or woman who finds satisfaction in wine wants the overcoming! power of the narcotic influence to take away the sense of responsibil-j ity for life. It is a weak and hope1 ....... fininrf KAaliin wcjr w .The right way is to let the Holy Ciit fll rt tfco 1,o rf and life. This is to be an experience! of complete surrender, being "filled: ( with the Spirit." u Does hfe then become drab andj uninteresting? No, indeed! For thefirst time you will be really joyful! That inevitably leads to thankful-i tiess, a grace too little known and practiced. It is for all things at all times. Do not overlook that facti Then "too there will be a -delightful' attitude of consideration and re

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "God the Only Cause and Creator is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, December 8. The Golden Text is: "Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is" (Acts 4:24). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth forever. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered" (Psalms 111:2-4). "Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world" (Acts 15:18). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Spiritual causation is the one question to be considered, for more than all others spiritual causation relates to human progress. The age seems ready to approach this subject, to ponder somewhat the supremacy of Spirit, and at least to touch the hen' of Truth's garment" (p. 170).

This little boy and girl are telling Santa Claus what they -wish for Christmas. The mythical night ride of this jolly old saint, and his ludicrous- ; scramble down chimneys, is one of the .greatest joys and most cherished : memories of childhood. The spirit4 of giving and receiving at this festal season Helps to develop the finer . impulses of those who celebrate Christmas in the traditional manner. We should impress upon children, however, that it is a time to think less of ourselves and more of the pleasure and benefit we can bring to others. .' But giving and ' receiving should not be permitted io overshadow the deep spiritual significance of the great Church festival. It should be hailed and welcomed as the birthday of the world's Savior. We celebrate the birthdays of many famous people; but the birthday of Jesus is the most important day in history. His life, his character, his faith, is the foundation of all that is good in human life. Children soon learn that Santa Claus is a jolly myth. They must be taught that Jesus is the. Savior . ihe Prince of Peace. "
