THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON TIMOTHY (A Christian Worker in Training). Sunday, Sept. 15 — 2 Timothy, Chapter 1. young man." (1 Tim. 4:12), Few young Christians have had Timothy's privilege in being under the direct training of such a man as Paul. But we can all have the benefit of Paul's 'inspired counsels to Tim- othy given in this lesson and the, two Epistles bearing Timothy's name. We can all enter the school, in which Timothy matriculated, as described in the Golden Text'. We can feed upon the whole Word of. God, that is, the entire Bible; and, - as we "rightly di- vide" the Scriptures we can, by God's grace and direct illumination from. His word, became workmen that need not to be ashamed. The great and beloved singing evangelist, "Charley" Alexander, who' travelled arouncl the' world in evangelistic fours with Tor- rey and Chapman, never signed his name anywhere without adding "2 Timothy 2:15". There is a great deal of education in our schools, colleges, and universi- ties today which trains men's minds and faculties amazingly, but leaves them without any spiritual life what- soever, "dead in trespa'sses and sins." Timothy's training was not of that. sort. Paul calls Timothy "my dearly be- loved son." There was no blood re- lationship between the two, and Paul ,evidently meant that he had been giv- en the privilege of being Timothy's spiritual father—that is, had led the young man to Christ as Saviour. But Timothy was rich in spiritual parents, For Paul speaks of "the un- feigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice." It is believ- ed that Eunice and Lois were led to Christ at the time of Paul's first mis- sionary journey to Leistra; in that case, the mother or grandmother may have brought the little boy to his faith in the Lord; and he would still be Paul's spiritual child through the others, True Christian training in the family is the best of .all. Prayer was part of Timothy's train- ing. "Without ceasing I have remem- brance of thee in my prayers night and day." Paul, by prayer, was train- ing Timothy when they were separ- ated from each other quite as much as when they were together. Are we faithful to the training of our child- ren and our loved ones by prayer without ceasing in , their behalf? There was warm personal devotion and affection between the two men. Paul longed to see Timothy when they were separated, and Timothy longed to be with Paul. Here is striking counsel from the older man to the younger: "Where- fore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands." God has given Timothy a gift — something that God alone could have give nhim, Tiothy has received this gift, and holds it, for it •"is in thee:" God gave the gift to Timothy by the hand of Paul, the apostle being God's own messenger. Therefore Timothy is to "stir up" this gift: he is to use what he has, and use it effectively, not neglecting it. Golden Text: Study to shew thyself approved un- to God, .a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tint 2:15). Young Timothy played a large part in the missionary jaurneyings acid service of the greatest missionary of the Christian era, the apostle Paul. Aitcl Paul played a still larger part in Timothy's life and service. The book of Acts tells us of young Timothy's accompanying Paul in missionary travels, and Paul's Epistles give us other facts about the young than. In First . tTimothy we learn that Paul left his young friend in charge of the church at Ephesus, rightly called a, "post of responsibility and difficulty, especially for one who was still' a The same ,counsel can be given to• every child of God If they are sav- ed, aved, we have unspeakably rich gifts from God in Christ. This always comes through some one else, some other Christian. Are we using what we have, 'stirring it up by faithful ser- vice and witnessing? And what did God give Timothy? A spirit of fear? God' forbid! `Tor God bath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." God's lore for us, fully bestowed upon us in Christ as Saviour, is per- pect love; and "perfect love casteth out fear" (1 John 4:18), In Christ, God gives us His own omnipotence to draw upon as we need it; therefore "I can do all things through Christ which : strengtheneth me" (Phil, 4:13). God's own love dwells in us, and enables us to love others as He loves us: And we have a sound mind when we have Christ as Saviour, for "we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:1U), Persecution and affliction were to be part of the training of Timothy, as of Paul. Are we, ready to be train- ed soldiers in. Christian warfare,' "Be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God." Our training means that we are to remember that when God saved us it was "not according to our works, but according to His own purpose, and • grace, which was, given us in Christ Jesus before the world began." The well-trained Christian Soldier always 'remembers that what God has done for him is infinitely greater than any- thing he can ever do for God. Palu has unshakable knowledge and he wants Timothy to have it. "For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." And now Palu completes this les- son in training by a shining comple- ment to what he has just said, "That good thing which was committed un- to thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us." "We have committed ourselves and our salvation to Christ, and we ,know whom we have believed; we know He will keep what we have committed unto Him. But He wants us to keep what he has committed unto us. What an exchange of trust! Christ wants us to trust Him; and He wants us to prove that He can trust us. By, His grace He will enable us to keep• this trust. Wedding Cake 50 Years Old •At the golden wedding of Mr, and Mrs. Robt. Pearson, Goderich Twp.,. two stories of their original wedding cake were shown to the guests. The guests agreed not to cut it up until the diamond wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson.—Goderich Star.
