THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The Epistle to the Galatians was written about A.D. The first Epistle to the ''Thessalonians was written about A.D. 54. The two Epistles to "timothy were written at the end of Paul's life—perhaps A.D. 65 er 66. The Second Epistle of Peter was written approximately at the same time—A.D. 66; while the Epistle of Jude was also writ- ten between A.D. 65 and 70, Place.—Galatia was one of the great provinces of Asia Minor in Paul's day. Thessaloniea was a city located in what we would call northern Greece, then known as Macedonia. The designation of 2 Peter and Jude are not given in these respective epistles, Paul's Gospel Inspired Gal. 1:11. "For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. 12. For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ." The Apostle Paul is here defending the supremacy of his message over all false teaching, which had been brought into the Galatian Churches by Judaizers and by those who were mixing works with the truth of salvation by grace. Verse eleven might be said to present the negative side of the question—his Gospel did not come from men; the twelfth verse presents the positive side— it came to him through revelation of Jesus Christ, How Thessalonians Received It I Thess. 2:13. "And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe." Paul had himself preach- ed to the Thessalonian Church, a record of which is found in Acts 17:1-0. The First Epistle to the Thessalonians is the first epistle, as far as we know, that Paul ever wrote as an apostle to one of the great Christian Churches of his day. He is commending the Thes- salonians for receiving his mes- sage not as one based on human speculation, on man's wisdom, but as onegiven to him by God, though spoken through mortal lips. Paul was but the instrument, God was the primary author" and origin. Tlie experience of the Apostle Paul with the Thessalonians ought to be, even if in a lesser degree, the experience of all true mini- sters of the Word of God, as they 'Stand before their people to preach. His Doctrine of Inspiration It is interesting to note that in Paul's last three epistles, the two to Timothy, and the one to Titus, he speaks more often of faith, of teaching, of doctrine, of the truth, of the Word, of Scrip- ture, than in any other part of any of his writings of similar length. It is quite significant that the greatest statement Paul ever made about the Word of God, he makes here at the end of his life, a conclusion resulting from long years of absolute de- votion to Christ, and the Word of God. Towards Complete Lives 2 Tim. 3:14. "But abide thou ,in the things which thou bast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learn- ed them. 15, and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thea wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16. Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteous- ness." Of course this passage refers primarily to the Old Testa- ment Scriptures. If the Old Testament is inspired, how ].Ruch more so the New, which records the very words and acts of the Saviour Himself, and was written Ly those who companied with the oral, or were in fellowship with those who did. "17, That the m.an of God may be complete, fur,. niched complete unto every good work." Verse sixteen tells ne that the Word of God is inspired, for us,•but it cano whatda nd a verse seventeen tells us that all these things are to the end that we, belonging to God, may be eernplete iii our iittet aid equip- ti6d for every good work..

Wherefore, be- loved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, with- out spot and blameless in his sight. 15. And account' that the long- suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; 16. As also in all his epistles, speak- ing In them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction." The apostle has just been speak- ing of the coming of the Lord, and especially of those who, in a scoffing way, insisted that the Lord was not coming because thus far they had not seen Him. But, says Peter, the day of the Lord will come. If such is so, and righteousness is to reign at his coming, and we are to be in a new world by His grace, then we ought to give diligence to our personal life. These things, said the Apostle Peter, Paul himself, their beloved brother had unfold- ed in some of his epistles, which, h. admitted, were quite hard to understand, and yet should be understood by the help of the Holy Spirit. Contending for the Faith Jude 3: 3. "Beloved, while I. was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common sal- vation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to con- tend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints." If, then, we have in our hands not only an inspired Word from God, but the only in- spired Word that God has given to men, permanently recorded in writing, how tragic if this :.Word should be lost, if its glory-; should be minimized, if its truths should be perverted, or twisted, - or denied. Television Arrives On July 1 television, became a commercial actuality in the United States. The Federal Communica- tions Commission removed the ban it had imposed on the ground that television had been sufficiently de- veloped to protect prospective .buy- ers of receiving sets. Two New York stations were ready to start, with 20 others preparing in various parts of the country. •1 R � t WORLD Sy William THIS CURIOUS Ferguson1 CO?R,1938 BY NEA SERVICE, INC, .4.1,7/31/06 NY e�- S MA NATURALISTS NOW ARE OF `1-1-I1 QPilei�ON THAT THIE LOWER.

One of the first calls this summer came to the Scouts of Bobcaygeon, Ont., to assist in the search for a woman cottager who had disappeared in swamp and bush land crossed by numer- ous creeks. She was found where she had fallen down the side of a small ravine, suffering injuries which prevented her moving. *, * * When Montreal High School en- tered the local National Salvage drive; Patrol Leader Teddy Stan- ley of the school's Boy Scout Troop brought in one of the big- gest contributions, in a double sense. This was the 400 pounds of tinfoil he had been saving in order to secure an artificial arm from a firm advertising such a project. He had suffered ampu- tation as the result of an infec- tion. * * * Two London Boy Scouts, Pat- rol Leader Jack Olden and Patrol Second Dennis Edwards, were on fire watching duty in their dis- trict when one of the last heavy Nazi bombing raids occurred. At 2 o'clock in the morning they were in the thick of the fight to quench incendiary bombs. At 3 a.m. a new and heavier wave of bombs, high explosives and incendiaries, fell further down the street. One incendiary had gone through to the base- ment of a dentist's premises and lodged in a cupboard. When the two Scouts arrived the fire was blazing furiously, but they at- tacked it with their stirrup pumps and sand, and eventually succeed- ed in putting it out. Then they made their way to a burning school, where they took over the hose and tackled the fire while the firemen attacked the blaze in a hall next door. Next, seeing a blaze on the roof of a five -storey building, they climbed in through a win- dow and made their way to the top. No hand -pumps were avail- able there, but they found some buckets. With these they ran down to the lower floor for water, and hastened back, up a ladder, through a trap door to the_ roof. The incendiary bombs were still falling, and the boys turned to "roof hopping," sanding out bombs as fast as t'i -. fail• Iu this they outstripped the inen. Several times the blasts and vi- bration from high -explosive bombs nearly blew them from the roof tops. At 6.30 a.m. two weary Scouts went home for a wash and break- fast before going to their office jobs for a day's work. Reduce Car Speed To Save Gasoline Record of Consumption of Gas on Slow Drive Shows Vast Difference From Record on Fast Drive A letter from a reader of the Ot- tawa Journal gives proof of the importance of speed in consump- tion of gasoline by motor vehicles. This reader drove a new car to Montreal and back, keeping rigidly within a 35 -mile speed limit, and had an average run of 25 miles per gallon. A fortnight later he made the same trip "in a hurry," and the mileage per gallon was cut to 17 or by 32 percent. Put it another way, he made the first round trip on about ten gallons of gasoline; the second time, because he was "in a hurry," the engine consumed about 14. gallons. - Every driver of experience knows he pays heavily for speed, not only in fuel but in wear and tear on his ear, especially if he gets into the upper reaches beyond the legal limit of 50 m.p,h. For most cars, it is said, the economical speed Is . 35 to 40, and that is fast enough, usually, to get the driver to his destination as quickly as he needs to reach it. And just now there is the added point, that the use of gasoline in this country must be reduced, by compulsion if not vol- untarily, and the general adoption of a moderate speed in country driving might save the necessity for more drastic measures, or at least defer thein. RADIO TIES EMPIRE The sons and daughters of the British Empire are getting to know each other better. The strongest tie is that being c mented through mutual participation in the Em. pire's cause on democracy's front line. But there are ether effective influences. New Zealanders and Australians, in Canada under the .-ir 'gaining Plan, are participating in the ]tome life of this country. Canadians, de- fending the shores of Britain, are tasting once again the unbounded Hospitality of the English, Scottish and Welsh. Englishmen, stationed at every post from Rangoon to Baffin Bay, or sweeping the mar- auder from the seas, are sharing ideas and courage with men whose skins are black and red as well as white. Their free interchange of ideas is the proof of their will to preserve a free world. Radio takes its place among these forces strengthening the bonds be- tween the men and women of the • British Commonwealth. In collabor- ation with the BBC, the CBC Is conducting a number of interesting trans -oceanic quiz broadcasts. "Quiz for the Forces" is an established favorite with Canadians overseas and their friends who listen at home on Saturday night at nine. Dial in- this program and enjoy it too.
