Golden Text—Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. -Romans 12: 21 ANALYSIS l., TMG NATURE OF THE CIIRIST'IAN LIFE, 1, 2. II. THE EXERCISE OF TILE PRINCIPLE OF LOVE, 9-21. INTROn tCTmev—Thi in,, of the apostle in this Epistle is completed ai, now the writer turns to the problem of c -duct,: It was is custom to first lav down his principles, and then to show how these must find their fruit in a higher type of living. See also Ephesians, Golcc-:ians, Thes- salonians. The general object of this chapter is to cultivate peace and good will among all members of the church. L TILE NATUf2L OF THE CIHRISTIAN LIFE, 1, 2. - V. 1. The entire appeal for• Chris- tian service -rises out of the infinite love of God. Paul does not rest his at regiment on th power of God, but he appeals to the wonderful confession of the heavenly Father, reyealed in e eation and redemption. 'The res- . porno of man to this confession should be complete, and this verse Jays stress upon the body, which is, a very essen-< tial element in our Christian life. The. Greeks were inclir,ed to speak slight- ingly of the body andsomeof their teachers advocated the crushing out of the instincts of thebody since the seat of sin lay in the flash But Christianity does not condemn the body, nor, does it disyarage its inbu erre, Rather it urges us topurify and sanctify our '.ody, that we .may offer it as n sacrifice to God. Hang the Expense Open Up Canada V. 2. But the mind rules the body, and those. thoughts which are; most often welcomed ere long find their ex- pression in outward conduct.' As a. .man thinketh in his ',art; so is he. 'Therefore, -Paul urges his readers to .ponder increasingly t'- s: will of God. Let all learn to submit with full con- Bent to his divine will. The three adjectives which he uses in this re- gardashould be careful noted, asthey set forth" the apostle's conception of the nature of God. (1) It is good. God will what is good for his crea- - tures. He is not Mee me . who are so often envious and malicious. All of Cxl's purposes are for the welfare of his children. In Jesus, called "the Good Shepherd," we have the incar- nate example 'of the divine goodness. (2) It is acce`,table. It is well:pleas- ing to them who accept it. They who fall in with God's plan, for their lives may,sometimes Imagias.that it seemed hoed and forbiedinr, ut in the end they will come to rejoice in it, and will hove a joy such as nothing else car; give. The Psalmist said, "I de- 1'ght,to do thy will," and Jesus said that it was his meat to do the will of his Father, (3) It is perfect. This adiective comes from word -meaning "end," and may mean here that which has reached its end, o: goal and, there- fore, is complete. God's will is in this sense perfect or complete. It is final, and we shall reach our goal or final peuection only when we fully accept this perfect will f God. "Be ye per - feat even as your Father in heaven perfect." II. THE E=ERCIFE OF THE PRINCIPLE 'OF LOVE, 9-21. V. 9. In the preceding verses, 3-8, P:,ul has spoken of the different gifts possessed by the members df the church, and of the way in which these are to be exercised. Now he passes on to discuss the graces which they must develop and the first and greatest of these is love. .This must be absolutely sir eeri„and based upon the highest nrr4ives. •V. 10. Love of the brethren is a see cial form of love which is to exist be- tt.een . members of the same church. This will manifest itself in a fitting modesty, V. 11. Joy was one of the great out- standing malities of the early church. It was revealed in -the teaching and life of Jesus, and thea it was mani- fest in his followeds. It has been claimed that joy as; a moral virtue was the creation of the Christian're- ligion. Paul shows that joy is quite consistent with suffering. The perse- cutors of the early Christians did not crush out their happiness. The words of Matthew 5: 11, were abundantly fulfilled. V 13. Paul was himself very gener- ous, and had spent much time in col- lecting money for the poor saints in Jerusalem. Hero he urges the form of generosity which ' shows itself in hospitality -a grace very needful in t' ose days when travel was so .corn - mc s and inns so poor. i nd dangerous. V. 16. This is a ve se on humility. "'it forbids all wrong ambition and de- sire to lord it over others; while 1.- a specific case he urges an interest in poor popple, a very wise and worthy counsel. j: A. MacNeil in the New York Times Tells of Progress Made and Making in, Giving Oiir `Inacc- cessable places Transportation HUGE EXTENSIONS Important railway projects and de- velopments now actually under way or being planned will within the next five years alter CanaCa's 'transporta- tion map to an extent that the outside world hardly realizes. Even many Canadians have failed to note the full significance of the prospective changes and shifts which 'are duo to become actualities' within so short a time. Mauklnd'aimmemorial motivating im- pulses, the need ofwheat for food and the lesire for gold, either liter- ally or in its equivalent form -of met- als less precious but equally neces- sary in the world's work, are the,two prime factors in the urge which., is rolling back Canada's northern fron- tier'three, four and even five hundred miles into regions which but :a few years aao *ere looked upon as barren and inhospitable wastes, but which are now known to include areas incalcu- lably rich in natural resources or agricultural,.po tentiaflties. Ten years ago there was a general agreement on the part of .Canadians that railway- expansion in. the Do- minion had outstripped the needs of the country to a degree /that placed a heavy burden upon the public. Of three transcontinental systems; one at least, it was believed, was super- fluous.With the Canadian Northern. lines bankrupt, the. Grand Trunk Pa- cific tardy in meeting its obligations and the original Gland Trunk embar- rassed by the difficulties of its West- ern subsidiary, the Government of the, flay felt constrained to step in and take over the trio, consolidating them with the Intercolonial Into the present Canadian NaUonal Railways, with 'a trackage of more than 20,000 miles, approcimately equal to the mile- age of the C.P,R., the other great Canadian system. In addition there were probably another 0,000 miles' of railway under independent corporate or provincial ownership, a total mileage hugely out of proportion to the population of the country and 'its transportatin re- quirements. the Canadian. Pacific has taken over the Alberta & Great Waterways Reit- Way and the Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia hallway,; which have for year been heavy liabilities to the province. In part they serve'` the Peace River Country, . where world's prize wheat and oats are now being grown, and . where million of acres of the' richest farm lands await the settlement which has been re- tarded by inadequate railway facllitlee and lack of a direct outlet to the Paci- fic Ocean. aci-flc'Ocean. The logical sequel to the'. C.P,R.'a acquisition of the, Alberta lines will be the providing' of these two: requisites andthe creation of a new and important Canadian shipping' point on the Pacific well to the north of _ Prince 'Rupert, one of the . two western termini of the Canadian Na- tional. • May Help British Columbia British Columbia has its white, ele- phant in the Pacific and Great East- ern Railway. The good fortune of Al- berta in disposing of its incubus will doubtless hearten the new adminis- tration in the Pacific province to been negotiations for a sale to one or other of the two chief systems, which may see an 'opportunity of proAtable operation where public ownership has' failed. Another radical change in the gen- eral scheme of trahsportatfon is seen in the reversal of th flow of part of the prairie wheat. Up to five years ago virtually all produced east of the Rockies came by rail . to the Great Lakes or even to the Atlantic seaboard, Now much of Alberta's yield goes across tae mountains to Vancouver for shipment to Europe via the Panama Canal, or to the Orient, and this year nearly one-fifth of the record crop; of 660,000,000 bushels is expected to go out. Via Vau- couver. The apparent tendency is to make the centre of the prairies .a dividing line, one-half the crop •going west and the other -east, with the ultimate result of Vancouver becom- ing a serious rival of"Monrteal• for the honor of being the world's great- est grain -shipping port. Certainly the outlook at present is that :Van- couver within the next quarter of a century will make Greater progress than any other Canadian city. Ten years ago the cry of Canadians was: "No more railways until ' our population is doubled.” To -day the slogan is: "Open up the inexhausti- ble mineral and cultivate regions and the population will come in.' Heavy Deficits Faced One of the most serious cense- quences was the operation of the Canadian National for years at the price of heavy deficits in running costs, not to mention unpaid interest charges, all of which came out of the pockets of Canadian taxpayers. Un- der the skilful management of Sir Henry Thornton, the . operating _ de- ficits were gradually eliminated and replaced with surpluses, but it took time to allay the feeling that Canada. was "over-railwaylzed." To -day all this is changed. The two big systems have gone steadily ahead, building strategic feeders and absorb- ing independent lines which offered promise r' profitable use. Other State or private enterprises have added and ars adding 43 the mileage, Canadian, American and British capital and public funds are available in plenty for what in the end will be regarded sure -tiling bets. What little criticism is'heard is mostly based oa sectional Jealousies or apprehension as 1, the effect on the critic's own community of develops -ants elsewhere consequent upon the new construction. Outstanding in interest is the Do- minion rrojoct of the Hudson Bay Railways After making a start, it !fad lain in abeyance during the war years, but was again taken up because of the insistence of the Prairie Prov- inces where the -wheat glowers saw in this short haul to tidewater a pros- pect of quicker and cheaper carriage pf their grain to the British and Euro- pean, markets. The. end of steel Is being pushed through the wilderness, and should reach Port Churchill, the chosen port on the h� est shore of Hud- son Bay, by 1930...The Pas, nearly 500 miles north of Winnipeg, is now a thriving little city, with all the ameni- ties of a modern community in exist- ence and a daily newspaper applying for a news franchise, where but yes- terday was a trading post chiefly known to the outside world for its dog derbies. Whether .the Hudson Bay route to Europe will fulfill all the hopes of its champions,in view of the uncretainy as to the duration and the safety of navigation through the Straits; can only be determined. by experience, but the opening up of so large a territdry believed to be'rich in minerals will probably justify the enterprise in the end, apart from its grain -carrying capacity. V. 18. Paul renumbers the beatitude rf the peacemakers. If there must be discord, then let it coma from outside ;the church. Vs. 19-21. Revenge. These verses take'for granted that good men will call forth the hostility of evil men, sand Paul warns the Christians against 'every act of retaliation. The only way olden to the Christian of showing his feeling is by caring for the best inter- ests of the enemy. In doing good to him he will heap coals of fire on his head, which probably means the burn- ing pangs of shame, which will fill the heart of the man who comes to see that good is being returned for all the evil he is doing.He will be so filled with a deep senna of self-accusation. that he will repent. This great moral lesson is summed up in the famous saying of verse 21 which teaches that all revenge is wreng and that we must seek to win over one for whom we have a dislike by a dit -lay of true -Christian love towards him.

There is a "good-na- tured" tolerance of evil in• other men, by which we help them to their sins, and become their 'passive accom- plices. -There is "good-natured" :ly- ing, which seems to say what is plea- sant rather than what is true, and it undermines social truthfulness. There is a "good-natured" endurance of'en- croachment upon rights, which we should guard, not for, our own sake so much as for that of society. And there is a "good-natured" avoidance of honest testimony against ` the world's evils, which seduces us to mere' ciphers in the battle for the kingdom of God.:: There is need for all the really "good -nature," the courtesy, thb -cheerfulness, the broth- erless, we can muster. • But for this vicious "good -nature," which seeks only the pleasant and the easy, neither earth nor heaves has room fn• need.
