The Lesson in Its Setting Time—The Epistle to the Romans was probably written'in A.D. 57. Place—It was written in Corinth. WINOHAM ADVAN E-TLMES for ourselves, but instead try to ad- vance others, we shall have the spirit of Christ, who "pleaded.nor,Himsel£," What war would ever be waged if each nation sought the preferment of oth- er nations instead ,of its own? In diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. The true follower of Christ will be industrious, doing more than his frill share of the world's work and he will show the same zeal in "his Father's business," Industry is not enough; the spirit in which we work determines the value of our labor, ' The Christian enjoys 'his work, is zealous in it, "boiling" in it --which is what "fervent" means in Greek. 'Serving" here implies bond service, the service of a slave. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribu- lation; continuing steadfastly in pray- er. Christians can rejoice always, for a sure hope is set before them. They can endure patiently the trials which are certain to come to them, knowing that their Saviour, who bore so much heavier trials, will furnish all needed. strength. Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Persecution and exile caused much poverty among the ear- ly Christians, and it was especially necessary to emphasize the duty of sharing one's possessions with the poor; nor were the early Christians at all remiss in fulfilling this duty. Giv- en to hospitality. The early Christ- ians were c.•ftcn d,.iven from their homes, and forced to take refuge in the hospitable homes of other Christ- ians in foreign lands. Among the na- tions the increasing custom of ex- change of professors, students and 'public lecturers is a form of hospital r ity; so also are the habit of wide tra vel and the wide circulation of books and periodicals among the nations. Bless them that persecute you, bless and curse not., ,Christ Himself had commanded this, as Luke had doubtless told Paul; and HC_had Him- self, in the midst of the most cruel agony of the cross, prayed for His crucifiers. Rejoice with them that rejoice; and weep with them that weep. Thus Christ at the marriage feast at Cana rejoiced with the rejoicers, and at the grave of Lazarus wept with the mour- ners, even He was about to bring back the dead from the grave. Sym- pathy with others is one of the chief isources of world peace and private serenity, and this sympathy will show itself as freely and beautifully in re- joicing over their good fortune as in grieving over their misfortunes. Be ye of the same mind one toward another. That is, growing together so closely in mutual love and the same thoughts and feelings will actuate the entire church, all the members being bound together by that adoration of the Saviour and desire to serve men which they have in common. Set not your mind on high things, but con- descend to things that are lowly. This "same mind" which Paul would have Christians attain cannot be won by the proud and exclusive, those who are exalted by their family position, their rank, their money, their mental ability, their spiritual insight, or any other "high thing." It is consistent only with humility and real brother- hood; which counts all men, even slaves, as brothers in Christ. Be not wise in your own conceits. Paul re- peats his injunction of Rom. 11:25. The literal meaning of the phrase is ONE BODY IN CHRIST I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God. "Therefore" goes back to the whole of the pre- ceding argument.,"in view of God's mercy shown in Christ and to a sin- ful world, I beseech you."To present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. Now that Christ the perfect Sacrifice, has been offer- ed up for sin, we need no, more sac- rifices of animals on an altar; but , there is a sacrifice that is required of us, our bodies, that is, our lives. As our bodies are kept pure, holy, accep- table to God, the activities of those bodies and the thoughts of our minds will also in consequence be pure, holy and acceptable. Which is your spirit- ual service. This does not mean a worship which it is reasonable for you to offer, but a worship which be- fits your reason. . And not fashioned according to this world. Literally, "this age" the transitory period of our mortal life, subject to sin and death. "Fashion- ed" in the Greek implies an outer shell or husk, a mask, a surface mold, as distinguished from the inner real- ity. "This world is but an empty show"; do not 'let it take possession of you and determine the shape of your life. But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Whoever is "in Christ" is "a new creation," "a new man." Christian regeneration is not a surface change or "fashioning," but goes to the very heart of one's existence. That ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Proving here means tes- ting, discovering. The Christian has the mind of Christ, and so can dis- cern the mind of God. Others may be perplexed to know God's will, but it is clear as daylight to Him. BLESS YOUR ENEMIES Let love be without hypocrisy. Hypocrisy vitates it all, like a base admixture in a precious metal, or a few drops of red paint in a can of white. Abhor that which is evil; clea- ve to that which is good. To an art- ist a bad arrangement of colors is like a blow in the face. So the love of goodness carries with it a detesta- tion of all wickedness. Cultivate what is noble in like, and what is ignoble will fall away from you, as the circu- lation of sap in a live tree means the sloughing off of the dead leaves. In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another. The love implied is family affection, A church should be like one big family, each member helping the others, standing up for the others, encouraging the others. In honor prefering one an- other. The Christian family, the God, is the best school of courtesy, for true politeness is essentially un- selfishness. If we do not seek honor "judged wise in your own court," Here is another e••hortation to humil- ity, so necessary is the quality if men are to work happily and effectiveiy to- gether, Render to no man evil for evil. Christ went . farther when He bade His followers not to resist evil men, but if they `should smite one cheek, turn the other for a blow (Matt. 5: 89). Retaliation for real or fancied injuries gives rise to many quarrels among men or to war among the na- tions, The principle here laid down does not forbid our resisting wicked- ness and aiding the weak when the strong oppress them; but we are to do this in the spirit of love and not of hate. Take thought for things hon- orable in the sight of all men. We are so to live that men will see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. A Christian may be obliged to con- tend against others, if they assume the aggressive and attack the defen- seless or assault the innocent or seek to undermine righteousness. Christ- ians are not to start quarrels, initiate war, and are not to contend except as the Prince of Peace is their lead- er. Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God. Three expanlations of this phrase are given. (1) Give space to your anger. Put an interval between your emotion and its expression. Give your temp- er time to cool. Delay of expression means decrease of emotion. (2) Give your opponent's anger room. Let him rage as he will. If you don't op- pose him, his anger will spend itself. (3) Stand aside, and let God's wrath avenge your wrong. For it is writ- ten, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. Paul in quoting Dent. 32:35, which the writer of Hebrews also quotes (10: 30), but to assure Christians that they will surely be punished by God if they sin in the full understanding of God's ; will which they possess. • N F SA S S Pure Castile Soap Will not harm most delicate skin. — Vinolia 8 Bars for 25c Hot Water Bottles Large size 'Sieberling Bottle, guaranteed 2 years. 89c, or 2 for $1.75 Woodbury's Soap A 15c tube of either Vanish- ing or Cold Cream free with each cake. 25c Cake, or 3 for 69c Dandruff Remedy Saturday November 10 The first 100 customers making. a 50c purchase will be given several samples of Perfumes, Soap, Gum Lifesavers, Toilet Articles, etc. If purchase amounts to $1.00 a Special Day Dream Gift Box (retail value 50c); will be given as well as samples.

The practical value of this precept in overcoming an enemy has often been proved in private life, but it has been ; held too hazardous to apply to an- other nation at war with us. For in , so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. "If an enemy be ov- erwhelmed with kindness, his face will be set aflame with the blush of shame over his misconduct. Be not overcome of evil, but over- come evil with good. The moving thought is that if we imitate our en- emy's quarrelsomeness and retaliate upon him in his own base spirit, we are ourselves defeated :thereby, for he has forced his evil upon us; where- as if .we meet his cruelty with kind- ness we are not overwhelming him with our goodness, and thus conquer- ing him.
