GOLDEN TEXT Eehold, how good ansa, how pleasant it is for bre- thren to i4well together in ur;ityl— Ps. 133: 1, • THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. TIME.—Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians near the end of his stay of nearly three years in Ephesus., A.D. 53-56, Place.—The Epistle was written in Ephesus, the chief city of Asia Minor. THE PLAN OF THE LESSON. SUBJECT: Christian Unity. "IS CHRIST DIVIDED,?" Now I beseech yoti, brethretft After his opening salutations, and his just and tactful praise of the Corinth- ian church; Paul enters at once on the main theme of his letter'with the word "now" and hints at the purpose of his writing with the word "bre- thren."The apostle was full of long- ing that: all the members of the be- loved' church should be brothers in- deed, as alJ Christians should' be. Through, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is as if he wanted to shame the Corinthians out of their disputing over the names of human leaders by reminding.. them over and over of the.one Name which all of 'ahem had taken upon `themselves, the • Namename,'the which is above every Name which should be the bond of union among Christians, the talisman Iof their unbreakable brotherhood. I That ye all speak , the same thing. Name the leader, Jesus Christ. Talk of the same doctrines. Exalt the same faith.

The Greek word translated "perfected together" is suggestive of fitting together what is broken or rent, - For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren; by them that are of the household of Chloe. It is plausibly conjectured that Chloe, who is not elsewhere mentione4 was a lady in Ephesus, where Paul was living when he wrote this Epistle, and that she had some Christian slaves who had been 'sent to Corinth on some errand, and, re- turning, had brought to Paul the dis- quieting news which led, in part, to the writing of the letter. Disputes, but not seperations; quarrels, how- ever, which might easily grow, into schisms. Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of. Apollos; and of Cephas; and I of Christ. The famous Christian tea- cher, Appollos, was a Jew of Alex- andria, possibly a pupil of the cele- brated . Alexandria teacher, Prilo. He became a disciple of John the Baptist. He seems to have been a more eloquent man even than Paul, but the apostle was not jealous of him, urged him to revisit Corinth and bade- Titus help him. As. Cephas is the Aramic word for Peter, the party that claimed him for their leader may Have consisted of Christian Jews who urged the retention of certain Jewish rites which Paul was willing to allow his converts to disregard, and who also desired for their guide one who had been a member of the original Twelve. Is Christ divided? "Christ belong- ed to the whole church. Does he belong to one section of it? The iarties are virtually saying `Yes,' and hus bringing about difference and division." Was Paul crucified for you? ' There has been only one death 'or the sins of the world. By his :atonement Christ reigns supreme over the hearts and lives of the creatures whom he redeemed. Or were ye baptized into the name of Paul? Baptism means merging, it means the complete yielding of one's self to the purifyinfi power of Christ, it means that the Christian is surrounded by Christ, upheld by Christ, as a fish in a fountain or a boat in the sea. THE ONE FOUNDATION. What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? What are they, that they should be exalted into leaders of divi- sions of Christ's one church? Mini- sters through whom ye believed "Minister" is used here in its orig- inal sense of 'servant." Paul and Apollos were no leaders of the church, they were only its serving men. Paul loved to call himself the bond -slave of Christ. And each as the Lord gav,e to him._... They had, to be sure, led them to Christ; but they could not do this except as the Lord empowered them to do it. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. The planting and occasions for the exercises of God's watering of Christ's servants were vitalizing energy. So then neither is he, that planteth anything, neither is he that water- eth; but God that giveth the increase. Nothing, nothing, nothing! --a man is nothing, Okay "God counts. "You think you are something, a person. of real importance. But, good friend, look yourself in the face; and unless Your vanity has destroyed your sense of humor, I warrant you will smile." Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one, "They are one in the nature of their ministry, for both are the servants of the divine will," But each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. Rewards are proportionate. to labor, as a just God determines, For we are.God's fellow -workers. The church did not belong .to this. man or that, but to .God. We' fall below this' truth' whenever as leaders wo strive for our own ends or as disciples disputatiously, ehdlt ,pli.e: leader above another. Ye are God's husbandry, God's building. The church is a field, on which the' growth' depends mainly on the forces of -nat- ure, the soil, the sun, and the rain. It is'also a building, in the `erection of which'God uses human builders; to carry out his plan. According to the grace of God which was given - unto me, as a wise master -builder I. laid a foundation. Paul did not indeed lay the founda- tion of the church in Corinth; but only as God enabled him to do so; and, indeed, God in Christ was the foundation, as `Paul' goes on to say. Every Christian worker,must look to the future, and . see that some one undo - •k A Sunday - school on his Work. Y school teacher will raise up pupils But l'et each man take heed how he buildeth thereon. Let no Christian laborer rest content because his pre- decessors have made a fine beginning; that beginning wil not only insure a fine continuance; only . the present workers can do that. For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is. Jesus Christ. Some workers to -day are building on worldly philosophy; others are building on personal popu- larity; others are building on their own ability; still others are building on ambition, or oganization, or mon- ey. Every edifice erected on. such foundation is sure to tumble. ALL THINGS ARE YOURS. Wherefore let no one 'glory in men. For all things are.yours. Why there- fore take only part of them for yours? Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Ceph- as. It has been the weakness of Christians in all ages, and never more. than in our own, to see good in only one aspect of truth and listen to no form of teaching but one. 'All things are yours,' not this teacher or that, in whom you glory, but all teachers of Christ. Or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours. The Christian has ' learned with Paul, in whatever state he is, therein to be content. And things to come are ours, what eye has not seen nor ear heard or heart imagined of eternal bliss. And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. The Christian has received many blessings. "What'hast thou that thou didst not receive- but if. thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?" Our duty is to accept all things humbly, and to use them as to serve and please the loving Giver t the wheelyou will learn son -Whiny new and belie" i n fine car performance t Tn Buying a T Ideon You Save Alp to Several Hundred Hot - kits a Car! i6OO and up All prices f: O. ii.

Chile is situated on the Pacific coast of South America. It Is very long and narrow, varying in width from 60',to 170 miles and has a length of about 2,800 miles. Its area is approximately 290,000- square miles. The population is a littl. over four millions and its inhabitants are main- ly descendants of the Spanish race; there are many thousands of Chileans of Scottish, Irish and German extrac- tion. Chile is people to -day almost entirely by the white bite race The climate is equable and health- ful and sanitary methods are by no means behind those employed by the most modern nations. The climate is neither very hot nor very cold. The Andes mountains form somewhat of a shield, shutting out the cold east winds from the Antarctic, from Cape Horn to the Gulf of Guayaquil, tem- per the heat of the northern 'prow - these. Chile possesses enormous deposits of the famous mineral, nitrate' of soda, used all over the world as an incomparable fertilizer and for indus- trial purposes as well. There are also considerable quantities of copper ore, and Chile ranks second to the United States as a producer of this metal. Mnay millions of dollars are invested in the nitrate and the copper indus- tries. There are also mined, on a more or less extensive scale, silver, gold, borax, sulphur, marble lime, etc. In the central valley of the repub- lic farming is carried on extensively, the soil being exceptionally fertile. Farming is also carried on in various parts of the country. There are num- erous waterfalls and •,eater power is secured from the waters produced by the melting of the snow` from the mountains. Coal is also mined and there are large deposits. Around the neighbor- hood of the city of Concepcion are the centres of the coal and mining In- dustries, which are of great import- ance. Chile has about 6,500 miles of railroad, over half of which is owned and operated by the state. The main line consists of a long trunk line sys- tem crossed at several points running to coast ports and to the mountains. There are also railway connections to Bolivia and to the Argentine Re- public_ ... _ There are over 23,000 miles of telegraph lines and over 53,000 miles of telephone lines and the servile is excellent. Many wireless stations con- necting the whole and several South American countries are also installed: Chile possesses good roads, there be- ing over '35,000 miles. Nine hundred miles of navigable rivers, lakes, etc, constitute the transportation system. There are three zones in Chile, perfectly distinct one from the other. The north, which is arid; the centrad with very temperate climate and agri. cultural lands, and the southern zone, mainly covered with forests. Chile produces wheat, raisins and figs and fruits of almost every kind. There are many kinds of articles manufactured in Chile and . great strides have been made in recent years. Great opportunities exist for foreign capital for manufacturing in this corner of the earth. Education is also making great progress and the present Government is making splendid attempts to bring the school. system to up-to-date teach- ing methods. Great efforts are being also made to increase the acreage for agriculture; this and other problems that now face the Government are being given the most serious atten- tion by the popular President and his Minister& Many articles are .manufactured in Chile, among them being hoots and shoes, ,cement, canned, goods, chem- icals, copper, lead ' products, silk goods, candy, clothing, wines, etc. Exports are nitrate of soda, copper, barley, wheat, frozen meat and dried sheep skins, hides, raisins and Laboratory -Grown Wheat. The feat of Joshua in commanding the sun to stand still was hardly more miraculous than are the present-day laboratory achievements in manufac- turing suns and putting them to work. Taro agricultural chemists in the University ' of California, some weeks ago, planted wheat in the lab- oratory and then created artificial sunshine with a dozen 300.- candle- power lamps filled with glowing ar- gon gas. The wheat grew at an un- heard-of pace, says Popular Science Monthly, reaching maturity in thir- teen weeks, instead of the usual five Month:.
