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. •

MeAvoy's Drug Store, - Wingham
But if thine enemy hunger, feed
him; if he thirst give him to drink.
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.
