teacher was considered a very import-
ant one in the early Christian.candour cf

salvation themselves. There were such
individuals in the days.of the apostle
(1 Tim. 1. 6, 7; 6. 3-5; Sob. 5. 12).
Shall receive heavier judgment (R. "V )
-Those teachers who abuse the office
will receive greater condemnation than
mere hearers. Those occupying a high
position in the church are apt to be
more severely criticized than thosehold-
ing
oo f
ing an inferior office. Thep p
James was to repress those who delight-
ed in talking rather than acting. 2. We
offend all -"We all stumble." R• V.
The R. V. is much clearer. This does not
mean that Christian teachers offend ev-
erybody, but that they are fallible and
are often mistaken in their interpreta-
tions of certain truths and do not use
correct words to express their thoughts.
This is true of the holiest and wisest.
Offend not in word -`.Chis liability is
very great in every one, but it is es-
pecially great in an office where the
very business is public -speaking. The
same is a perfect man -A- full-grown,
symmetrical man. "One who has attain-
ed to a high degree of wisdom and
grace." The man who advances no false
doctrine, but is thoroughlypciinstructed
in divine things, is
and worthy of the sacred calling. Thus
applied to teaching, rather than to char-
acter, "the perfect man' here is dis-
tinguished from 4 he13 one Cdesol. 'ribe8d To

stituting perfection, but as a crucial
test indicating whether the man has or
