The younger Classes will doubtless use the Christmas lesson this week. If the Timothy lesson is used, it will be found full of instruction regarding Christian home life, the honoring of self and his beloved one, and the parents, the study of the Bible, and more he needs must stay, that grace faithful preparation for zealous sery and peace, as the gift of God, to sin - ice of Christ in later years.

TIMOTHY'S GODLY HOME. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus. through the will of God. In our last lesson we saw how prominently God's will for Paul was brought out at the time of his conversion (Acts 22:14),, leading him to use this phrase often at the opening of his letters. Accord- ing to the promise of the life which was in Christ Jesus. It is remark- able that therealization of this life should grow even more brighter to Paul as he entered the dark shadow of death. To Timothy my :beloved child. His "child in the faith" (1 Tim. 1:2), that is, his spiritual child,born into the church through Paul's leading and teaching. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Je- sus our Lord. "Grace, the loving fa- vor of the covenant Lord; peace, the sweet fruition of it in the soul; and mercy between the two because Paul, the nearer he draws to the assured bliss, the more he knows, for him - ursday, December 18th, 1931. Longing to see three. Peel recurs to this at the close of the letter (4: 9), Remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy, Professor Erdman explains this by shifting the Parts of . the sentence. thus: "When I remember the tears you shed at our parting, night • and day 1 long to see you again, that I may be filled -with joy." Having been unreminded of the un - 'feigned faith that is in thee. Paul had had recent experience of faith that was not "unfeigned" but feign- ed, false; faithless; see 2 Tim. 1:16; 4:10. Which dwelt first in thy grand- mother Lois, and thy mother Eunioe. Very. likely Timothy's mother and the lad himself knew of this event, and it is of course possible that Paul, after his fearful experience, was cared for at their .house. And, I ant per- suaded, in thee also. When Paul 'wrote this letter he had made long proof of Timothy's fidelity to the Christian faith. For which cause I put thee in re- membrance. Paul remembered Tim- othy unceasingly in his prayers, he ren embered. Timothy's tears at their last parting, he remembered Tim- othy's genuine faith, and now he bids Timothy himself also to remember these things. That thou stir up the gift of God. This "gift of God" was Timothy'senduement with power from the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel and win converts to. Christ. Which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. TIMOTHY'S BIBLE TRAINING. But abide thou in the things which thou'hast learned and hast been as- sured of,. Timothy was to abide staunchly in the faith, sure of his ground, and to make of himself a rock against which the waves of er- ror should beat in vain. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them. That is, of the dear and revered Lois and Eunice, whose noble characters would serve to confirrn in his affections all their noble teachings. And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings. That is, the Old Testament, since no part of the New Testament was written when Timothy was a young child. Which ane able to make thee wise unto sal- vation through faith which is in Jesus Christ. Paul's words are a warning that Bible reading alone is not en- ough; it must be accompanied by faith in Jesus Christ, Whose Holy • Spirit will guide us into all truth. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable. Ofcourse. it is pos- sible that Paul, thinking of the false writings of the impostors of whom he has been speaking, 'meant to con- - •trast the Bible with them.
