THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.— The Christian Church was born in the summer of the year in which our Lord died, A.D. 80. The Apostle Paul wrote T Corinthians about A.D. 69, and his Epistle to the Colossians was written A.D. 64, Place.—The particular church portrayed for us in the earlier part of the Book of Acts was, of course, the 'One of Jerusalem. Corinth was one of the great cities of Greece. Colosse was a city of Asia Minor, which Paul more than once himself visited. Things Which Are Above 1. "If then y'e were raised to- gether with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on tite right hand of God. 2. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth, 3, For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God, 4. When Christ, who is our 'fife, shall be /liana.fested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory." The centre of our life is to be focused on Christ, the ambition of our life is to please Him, and all con- tacts we make with earthly things are only that we might live nor - anal Christian lives, things always being considered incidentals, not the things to which we are at- tached, or the things we desire above everything else, but simply means for carrying on this human life which God has given us. De- parture from this world is the end of our relationship with material. things, but it means for the Chris- tian the entrance into the presence of Christ. Things of Wickedness 5. "Put to death therefore your members which ' are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetous- ness, which is icolateym 6. for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God u1Yon the sons of disobedience: 7. wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things." If we are deter- mined to set our minds on things above, not onthingson the earth, then certainly changes will have to be made in our life, from the life we lived before Christ cane into our hearts, to the life that Christ expects no to Live as He rodoems and indwells its. Pani •0e1 forth this life in symbolic • language, picturing the old life to be as a garment that .must be put off., and the new life as an - abhor garment that should be put 011. 10. "And have .put on the new man, that is being reneWed unto knowledge nfter the image'bf,ltiin' that created him; 11e where there cannot be Greek and Jew, cireum- cioion and uncirctnnclsion, bar- bnrian, Scythian,bondman, free- ; but Christ is all, and In all." When it says that this new man is being "renewed unto know- ledge," it means that a true aria.; tiara, united with Christ, seeking the .things which are above, and putting off wicked habits, comes' to know what it means to suffer with Christ, what it means to have. fellowship with Christ, the holt•• ness of Christ, the love of Christ, the hatred of Christ for sin, the righteousness of Christ. We will never know Christ as we ought to know him except we begin to live the life Christ has called us to live, God's Elect 12. "Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lewd - Imes, meekness, longsuffering." A heart of compassion is a heart sensitive to the suffering and needs sof others. Kindness is the character which offers sympathy and invites confidence, Lowliness, is the attitude of it. soul which hie lost its pride in the discovery' of the mercy of %livatien, meelm ness, the greee of submission under trial; longsuffering, the temper that is opposite to that haste of spirit which gives the man no time under pressure of pain or of wrong to remember what iet. due to others and to the Lord. Christ -like Forgiveness 13, "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any inn have a complaint' against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye," Genuine Christ -like forgiveness is a gracle sus act graciously performed. Peace -keeping and peace-mak-ing are the two graces liege enjoined, The principle of forgiveness, is that of our Lord's teaching and of the . prayer He taught His dis- ciples (Matt. 6 i2.15). 14. "And above all these things puton love, which is the bond of ' perfectness." If these virtues were thus exercised, in the" ab- sence of love, they would be frag- mentary, shallow, and would have no guarantee for their own con- tinuance. Let love come into the heart and knit a man to the poor creatore whom he only pitied be- fore, or to the enemy whom he had at the most been able with 'an effort to. forgive, and it lifts these other emotions into a nobler fife. The Word of Christ 15. "And let the peace .of' Christ rule inyour hearts, to which also ye ware called in one body; and be ye thankful." Whatever mars our tranquility, ruffling the sur- face so that Christ's image is no longer visible, is to be avoided. 16. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one an- other with psalms and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God." The Word of Christ means the words which Christ Himself spoke and all those words of the. New Testament . Scriptures which have to do with our life in Christ. This Word does not dwell in us richly unless we make room for it, memorize it and meditate upon every syllable of its precious revelations. 17: "And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Whatever we do in heart or act, let every part of it be done in the name of the. Lord Jesus; not simply in religious service, but in the business. -of doily life; not simply in deeds such as alms -giv- ing or sacramental communion, but in every act, in solitude, and in society, in daily toil, in occupa- tions of trade. It is compara- tively easy to do a professedly Christian act, but far more diffi- cult to do every act in a Christian spirit. ci ,l THiS CURIOUS' WORLD By William Ferguson A HUGE: SKELETON!, CDNCOCTIetP FROM VARIOUS TYPES OF FOSSIL BON51 FOUND IN ALABAMA,.

THE BOOK SHELF TURNING LEAVES By Ellen Proctor The old house seemed to domin- ate the small Minnesota town. It had been there so long and was so much finer than its neighbors that the whole community took an almost proprietoey interest in it. It belonged to the big sprawling Livingstone family; seven chil- dren, and each one boiling over with a different kind of energy and ambition. The story is dominated by the two oldest sisters, Julia and Gabrielle. Gabrielle is a quietly sensitive girl who is willing to suffer any drudgery in order to become a singer. Julia's shrewd mind guides her unerringly toward the luxuries of life which her father has never been able to . provide. Their devotion to each other and to the family as a whole holds off the inevitable clash of their natures until the family finds itself facing a startlingly dramatic climax.
