THE LESSON' IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The Epistle toi the Romans
was written in A.D. 57. '
Place.—This epistle was written
from .the. city of Corinth, while Paul
was on his third missionary journey,
and was written -to the - Christian be
lievers 'living at Rome. • . ■ ~
1.1 beseech you therefore, breth
ren. Never once does Paul command
his reader^; his favorite word is be
seech (Eph. 5: 1; 1 Thess. 4: 1). By
the mercies of God. (See 2 Cor. 1: 3).
These .mercies refer to all the won
derful promises and truths recorded
" by the apostle in the preceding: eleven
"chapters:—To—present—your~~ bodies;-
—Christianitydoes—not-eondemn--the-
body, but demands that the body shall
15. Rejoice with them that rejoice;
weep with them that weep. Cf. 1'
Cor. 12: 26. See also the account cf
our -Lord'^t"Caira:' (John' 2TTT2L^and“
at Bethany (John 1|: 1-44). If we are
members of one body, we have the
samewishes and the same feelings.
The joy of one member is the joy of
another; the. sorrow 'of, one should be.
the sorrow <?f all. ; Y 1 ”*
16. Be of the same mipd one toward
another. The word here translated
Vmind” really means a mental rand
moral disposition. Set not your mind
op high things, biit condescend to
things that are lowly. Be not wise in
your Own conceits. The. word here
translated” “condescend’’ does “not
mean, as the reader would at first-
take it to mean, to have an attitude
of patronage, but it means that we

2 Cor. 8: 21). Our Lord was one who,
when reviled, reviled not again (1
Pet 2: 23).
18. If it.be possible, as much as in
you lieth, be at peace with "all men.
(See Matt. 5:9). Of course there are
occasions when Christians, because of
the attitude of other people^ are pre
vented from being at peace. The em-i
phasis here is on the pronoun you.
Let it never be said that • we are re
sponsible, for antagonisms and bitter
ness. ,
19. Avenge not yourselves, beloved,
but give place unto.the wrath of God:
fos it is written. Vengeance- belonget-h
unto me: I will recompense, said the
Lord. The quotation here is frem
DeuL 32: 35. We are to stand out of
the wav and leave the matter of Ven
geance with God, whose prerogative
it is alone to punish.
20. But if thine enemy hunger, feed
him; if be thirrt, give him to drink:
for in so doing thou shak he^p coals
of fire upon b:s head. To heap coals
to fire upon t “y. one is a punishment
which no one- can bear. Kindness is
no less effectual. The most mannan*’
enemy cannot always - withstand i
The true and Christian method to
subdue an enemy is to ‘overcome evil
with good.’ ”

DURING SIEGE OF IRUN
Ottawa Journal
Somebody, it ■ seems, is forever, la
menting something that has passed
observes the Ottawa Journal. Lat
est' lament, spoken by an eminent-
divine, is that the family Bible, once
> inseparable from the .front parlor
table has been relegated, out of s»ght.
Instead of reading the Good Bohk
now wf listen to the latestthing
on the radio.
How true is this - Everybody, of
curse, remembers the. family Bible.
t It reposed on the parlor tabte, a
sort of outward proof of the fam
ily's'respectability but whether all
or many' of the family read it,- ->r
read it very tfi Hough!.;, is anther
matter. Oiir own meifiorv seems to
be that as ’’the' parlor w-s ■ a dart . ,
4of inviolate place opened only for
favored guess, tfie’ Bihtip...was even,
more i,ieglected- than the family al
bum, with its tin-types of side-whisk- ,
ered ancestors which made us laugh-
The older .members of the family
read it, of course, cr, if they didn’t
read it, went to it often.because it
was there they .kept records of births, _ -
marriages; and deaths pLro some
be^purified^and-be-united-with-Ghrist.
A living sacrifice, .This is in contrast are in the things of this life, and es
pecially in our service in the church..
17. Render to no man evil fof evil.
Take thought for things honorable in
the sight of all men. (See Prov.
A living sacrifice. This is in contrast
to the dead sacrifices of slain animals
presented in the temple. Our sacri
fice has to do with our daily life. Holy
acceptable to God, which is your spir
itual service. The margin here is prob
ably much better when it substitutes
“belonging to the reason” for the
word “spiritual.”. The service we give
to God is not an automatic one, but
one that results when we begin to
, comprehend what God has done for
us.
2. And be not fashioned according
to this world. “The spirit of this pres
ent age is absolute selfishness as Con
trasted with divine love. Its object is
the gratification of self, rather than
the doing of the will of God, and its
authority springs from Satan because
it has refused the one true Ruler of
the Universe. By the . renewing of
your mind. Our minds are no longer
to he enslaved by our fleshly nature,:
but are to be renewed and purified by
file Holy Spirit. That ye may prove.
“Tile result of This purification is to.
make the intellect, which is the seat
of moral judgment, true and exact in
• judging on spiritual and moral ques
tions.” What is the good and accept
able and perfect will of God ? The will
Of God is good because it comes from
.God, who, alone, deeth good, and be
cause, in our doing it, only good can
possibly result (£eut. 10: 13; 28: 63;
, 30: 5). By “acceptable” is mfeant the
. impression produced on us when .we
contemplate his wHl, as realized in
our life.
For I ;say, through the grace that
Was given me, to every man that, is
among- you, not to think of himself-
. inore highly than he ought to think,
Satan fell because he became proud
. ’ ■ and was determined to. take the very
place of God in heaven; our first par
ents fell whern Satan appealed to their
pride in telling them they couW be
as gods. In the renewed life of the
iChristiaa, pride is the first thing that
must be got rid of. But so think
as to think soberly, according as God
bath dealt to each man a measure of
, faith. “The wise and’ prudent man
will remember that his position in the
communi:
merit of
, _____________
of God. Faith is used here for all
those gifts which, are given to man,
With, or as the result of. his faith.”
9. Love without hypocrisy simply
means love that is sincere, that is not
put on. Abhor thai which, is evil;
cleave to that which is good. Charles
Hodge has finely interpreted this sen
tence in his paraphrase: “A striving
1;o avoid what is 'injurious to others
and earnest sy .endeavoring to do what-
• 'ever isuki’-,^ useful.”
10. In love of the brethren ,be ten
derly affect;oned. one to another. The
word translated “tenderly affection-
ed” comes from a verb which denotes
“the.delicate ssttenticns 'mutually ren
dered by those who. chjerish one an
other . with matural affection, as par
ents and children, brothers and sisters.
'The apostle, by using this term,
r wishes to give tb the k.'ve of'the mem-
j bers ot the churro --.ne another the

•>tor can we bc’ieve that’the, old-
fashiohed . parlor was the--sort’,, of
thing to .call for, -nostalgia.’ .Our
.recollection of it is that. it was a
'sort, of ’cheerless -place, with, drawn
shades excluding the sun from it.
There would' be the', inevitable pic- ■
ture. of Queen Victoria .op .the wall,

the corner there would Le an -up
right, piano, with, a look of “Heart

course, 'the horse-hair, settee, which
was as-, uncomfortable as , anything .
in the world’could be. .
We' are not 'sure, either that the ••
passing of the family otble, or its
.passing from the parlor* table, means
'that the Bible isn’t .ary.' longer’ read. -■
On the contrary, we have' an idea,
that the people wg ''meet »today. in
cluding young people,- know more
about the -Bible, .or h .ve read more ■
of it, than' the-people we'knew m
the long ago. Ire a day when - the
tabloid is- with us. and the radio
and the moving .picture, 'that
sound strange, yet<('it is supitorteS
by the'truth that the, Bible'remains ■
a best seller among books; this is at
age when more bo<fits a~e being pub
lished than et^Jr befo- o irt t“e‘ worlds t'
history. '
Just one thing more-- The' thing
that perhaps we shouldn't always -
be holding up the radio as a symbol
of-our. barbarism. The radio has its'■
