Let us not be weary in well -doing; for in due season we shall xeap� if we faint not: Galatians 6: 9. The Lesson in its Setting Trine.—The appointment of the first deacons in the early church was in 33 A.D. The First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians and the epistle to the Galatians were written about 56 A.D. ; and the first epistle of Paul to Timothy 63=66 A.D. Place.— The appointment of the first deacons took place in Jerusalem. The City of Corinth was a great metropolis in northern Greece. Gal- atia Was a province in Asia Minor. Timothy was residing in Ephesus when Paul wrote his first epistle to him. things which they have done upon earth. "If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall 're- ceive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire." The architect has to give . his certificate before the builder gets his check, and the man who has built "gold, silver, precious stones," will have over and above his initial salvation in himself the bless- ed consequences, and unfold the large results of his faithful service; while the other man, inasmuch as he has not such work, cannot have the con- sequences of it, and gets no wages, or at least his pay is subject to heavy deductions for the spoiled bits in the cloth and for the gaps in the wall. The picture of this man is` of one surrounded by a conflagration, and making a rush through the flames to get to a place of safety. We begin there where we left off here. It is not true that nothing is ever accomplished without . work. It is true that nothing of any value is ever accomplished without work. This is just astrue in the great enterprises of the Christian church. in the preaching of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the winning of souls to the Sa ,,iour, in the building up of believers. As Marshal Foch once cried out: "Gifts! Gifts! There is no such thing. There is nothing but hard work. There is nothing but that, even for the artist. Do not count upon. gifts! Work!" Our Worn As Christians The first paragraph of six verses can hardly be separated from the verse that immediately precedes it— "For we are God's fellow -workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's build- ing." Cannot God do it all Himself? No. God needs man to carry out His purposes. "According to the grace of God which was given unto me as a wise masterbuilder" — The word here translated "masterbuilder" is the Greek word arcbitekton, from which comes our word architect. "I laid a foundation." Paul means that he had founded the church at Corinth, as well as many other churches. "And another buildeth thereon." Other men were (necessarily) carrying on. the work of the Christian Church at onnth, teachers,, pl%aehers, evangel s, and pastors. Paul.could be at only one. place at one time. "But let each man take heed how he build- eth thereon. For other foundation • can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."—If any- one proceeds to lay another founda- tion over Christ, it is not a Christian church he is meaning to build. He who does not proceed upon the facts of Christ's life and death, he whose instruction does not pre - suppose- Christ as his foundation may be use- ful for some purpose of life, but not as a builder of the Christian temple. A Sure Foundation "But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; Each man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is reveal- ed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is"—Exactly what in the mind of Paul corresponded to these various materials is not quite certain. Some think he referred to true or false doctrines. Others suppose that Paul had reference here to persons, some good and some worthless, who are brought into the visible church of Christ. Still others believe that the apostle referred to he" moral and spiritual fruits of the work of Christ- ian teachers in the lives and charac- ters of their disciples and followers. The fire which Paul refers is simply , a symbol of judgment, like fire which tests the true value of gold or silver. ; "The day," of coarse, the day of Christ's return for his own, when his own will be given rewards for the The Sowing of Seed "But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things" — The word here translated "communicate" means, to have in common, to share, and Paul means that Christians, with a rich understanding of the word of God, should share their spiritual treasures one with another, either by the writing of letters, by edifying conversation, by the writing of books, or by public speaking, or otherwise. "Be not deceived; God is not mock- ed: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life." —Never in the world of nature, but so often in moral matters, men are deceived into believing that, no matter what kind of seed is sown, the consequences will not be so bad after all; or that they can sow one kind of seed and reap another. Men are deceived into be- lieving "they can sow folly and reap wisdom; they can sow wild oats, and gather honest wheat. If there is a sowing, there must be a reaping, and if there is a reaping, it will absolute- ly depend upon that which is sown. The corruption which is reaped be- gins here and continues in the life to come. The bloated face, the sensual leer, the sullen brow tells us what is going on within. To sow to the Spirit,. is simply to live a spirit- `ual life, an the power of 'the° Sit of God, led by'his Spirit, energized by his Spirit, seeking the will of God '• himself. "And let us not be weary in well - doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."—Martin Luther has well said that it is an easy matter for one to do good once or twice, but to continue and not be discouraged through the ingratitude and perverseness of those to whom he has done good, that is very hard. A. young man goes to his first place with boundless hopes of other and greater spheres opening to him in due time. He comes to discover, like the vast majority of us, that the ten talents have not been given him. Slowly and painfully the veil of il- lusion is drawn from his life, and he recognizes that he is to be but a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. The front places, the grander tasks are not meant for him. It is indeed a critical hour when the cold unwelcome truth discloses itself. Angle1 At Festival Compete With High ,Seas At Hastings, in Sussex, Eng.„pounding seas and heavy rain featured the opening of the annual Ings angling festival .Amongst the competitors are so veral from France and Germany. Anglers are competing with high seas as well as the fish during th e festival. Practically all of the motion -pic- ture companies have decided that comics in sets of three bring sure success. R.K.O. has the Mari brothers now, Twentieth, Century -Fox '. have the Ritz brothers with their hilarious antics, and Paramount has signed up the Yacht Club boys to appear in three more pictures for them. o • "So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith."—In this verse the teaching of the entire preceding passage seems to be summed up. The church of Christ on earth is frequently desig- nated as the house or family of God. Love always desires the good of others. Notice especially the phrase, "as we have opportunity." Oppor- tunities do not tarry for long. An opportunity lost may never be recov- ered again. * * Hollywood producers wish that plump girls were fashionable. Insist-. ence on streamlined figures causes them no end of worry. Many of the stars noted, for their beauty and chic, have to live on strict diets in order,,, to stay slim, and when they are, working on a strenuous schedule they get s%;;run down thatthey have n” resin itce-„to aeolds. Recently' on ailing list were Carole .Lombard, Alice Faye, Joan Crawford, Virginia ; Bruce, Simone Simon, and Zorina, the lovely Russian dancer who is soon to make her debut in Goldwyn pictures. * * Cary Grant is all set to be the busiest actor in Hollywood for the next year.. Now working with Kath- erine Hepburn in "Bringing Up Baby," he is all set to rush from that to "Love on Parole," with Miri- am Hopkins, after which he will sup- port Ruby Keeler in her first R.K.O. picture. Columbia Pictures hold a contract with him also, and will have several te stories ready for him just as soon as he fin- ishes his stint on the R.K.O. lot. Cary ex- pects to find time to play one of the leads in Samuel Goldwyn's production of tht ever -popular romance, "Graustark." If you heard him on the air recently with Irene Dunne, giving ex - "The Awful. Truth," the theatres are now showing; you don't need to be told that it is a thoroughly delightful picture. * * * Bing Crosby, who always insists that he doesn't know anything about music, or about anything, in fact, but race horses, received an honorary de- gree from Gonzaga College in Spok- Cary Grant. cerpts from e ov‘11-Nil -..:•, k 4 •. • ti•: ;:+`"y$:•iii New Type `hon Lung" Is Big Improvement A Miami, Fla., reporter gives a demonstration of the new iron lung designed in Sweden for Fred Snite, Jr., the victim of infantile paralysis. more coonly over the mfortable than the to ehinlwhich young Snite , when finally smpronow rests will be vY� . gay .7[1,14)tifk tAADA-934i7 IW4f�Rt�ei TOHAGdp S Ras! aPIRING PROGRAM Every Friday Night on national coast to coast network. 990,000 -Pound" Cow Wins Milk Record Oxford County's first "30,000 -pound" cow has been reported by the record of production branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. While se- veral cows bred in Oxford have en- tered the charmed circle, Hetty Korn- dyke Konigen, owned. by Fred Stock of Tavistock is the first to complete such a record within the county. At 10 years of age she has given 81,048 pounds of milk and 1,1071 pounds of butterfat on three times a day milking. The test was 3.56.

He was a student there before he joined the Paul Whiteman's rhythm boys and got launched on a radio career. Incidentally, Bing gets so much fun out of his radio appear- ances that he would like to be on the air more than once a week. * * * Radio and picture stars have. their favorite performers, just like the rest of us. Rudy Vallee insists on hav- ing Jack Oakie in the picture he will make for Warner Brothers soon. He says Oakie makes any picture a suc- cess. Jack Benny would like to have .Abe Lyman on his radio program permanently—thinks he adds a lot of laughs. * * * Beverly Davis, the four-year-old daughter of Joan Davis, that madcap dancer who risks breaking her neck in the Ritz Brothers' pictures, gives imitations of her mania when she goes to parties. At a kiddies' party she was not going over so well, be- cause instead of laughing at her falls, the youngsters howled in fright, but everything turned out all right anyway. Along carne a Twen- tieth Century -Fox official to call for his youngsters, and he hired little Beverly to play a part. * * * Closest friends of Douglas Fair - Larks, Jr., thought that his great success as an actor i;i "The Prisoner of Zenda," had cured hint of nal ambitions t,) he a producer in England. Doug. says they are wrong. As soon r.s he finishes playing oppcsite Gin- ger Rogers in "Hav- ing a Wonderful Time", he will be of to London again to Ginger Rogers be the' big boss of a production com- pany.
