SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 49 THE MEANING OF CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Acts 2:37-47; 4:13; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Colossians 3:1-17 PRINTED TEXT Colossians 3:1-17 GOLDEN TEXT.—Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. I Corinthians: 12:27. THE LESSON IN ITS SE rTING Time. — The Christian Church was born in the summer Of the year in which our Lord died, A.D. 30. The Apostle Paul wrote I Corinthians about A.D. 59, and Ms 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 ye were raised to- gether with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the 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 life, shall be mani- fested, then shall ye also with hint 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- mal 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. "I'ut to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, Passion, evil desire, and covetous- ness, which is idolatry; 6. for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon 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 on 'things on the earth, then rertain]y ehmeges will have to be made in our 1i Ci, from the life we lived before Christ came into our hearts, to the life that Christ expects us to live as He redeems and indwells us, Paul sets forth this life in symbolic language, picturing the. old life to be as a garment that must be put off, and the new life es an - .other garntettt that should be put an. 1.0. "And have put on the new man, that is being; renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: i:l. where there (cannot be Greek and Jew, circum- cision and unc]rcutncision, bar- barian, Scythian, bondman, free - Man; 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 Chris- tian, united with Christ, seeking the things which are above, and putting off wicked habits, corneal to know what it means to suffer with Christ, what it means to have fellowship with Christ, the holi- 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 hien 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, low1I nese, meekness, longsuffering." A heart of compassion is a heart sensitive to the suffering and needs of others. Kindness is the, character which offers sympathy and invites confidence. Lowliness, is the attitude of a soul which has lost its pride in the discovery of the mercy of salvation, meek- ness, the grace of submission under trial; longsuffering, the temper that is opposite to that haste of spirit which gives the main no time under pressure of pain, or of wrong to remember what is due to others and to the Lord. . Christ -like Forgiveness 13. "Forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye." Genuine Christ -like forgiveness is a graci- ous act graciously performed, Peace -keeping and peace -making are the two graces here enjoined. The principle of forgiveness is that of our Lord's teaching and of the prayer He taught His dis- ciples (Matt. 6:12-15). 14. "And above all these things put on 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 cone tinuance. Let love come into the heart and knit a man to the poor creature 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 life. The Word of Christ 15. "And let the peace of Christ, rule in your hearts, to which also ye were 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 daily life; not simply in deeds such as almsgiv- 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- oult to do every act in a Christian spirit. THIS CURIOUS WORLD By us'os' A HVOle SKELETON, CONCOCTM'l?

Limited Have Substantial Reserves Six hundred thousand dollars worth of Tungsten! Deposits of that urgently needed mineral val- uod at this figure are estimated to lie between the surface and the fifth level underground, and in ore dumps, on properties control- led by International Tungsten Mines Limited. This estimate of ore reserves was calculated by the well-known government geologist, Dr.- A. W, Jolliffe, of the Depart- ment of Mines, Ottawa, and is based only on development to date, Further development, it is believed, should put in sight sub- eatantialiy increased tonnages of tungsten ore as mining is carried to greater depths. Moreover, the property possess- es a high-grade gold content — it was originally developed as a gold mine—and has already pro- duged gold bullion to the value of over $300,000.00. An important factor in the tung- sten situation is that, in order to increase domestic production, the (government has thrice raised the price ceiling on this vital metal, and today it is worth $2,650.00 per short tan of 60 % tungsten trioxide .concentrates. Here is a property which has already produced tungsten, with :substantial reserves in sight, and with indications that continued de- velopment will furnish further Iarge tonnages, and with a gold production that will add material- ly to the Company's revenues. In brief, those factors are present which make for a decidedly profit- able operation. King Solves Problem Of Crying Babies In the dignified quiet of the , Grand Hall at Buckingham Palace a piercing cry occasionally shrills above the soft background music of the Guards' string band as the King decorates men and women - at an Investiture. It is the protest of some hero's baby, thoroughly bored with its first Royal ceremonial. Mother and child have to be escorted out to an ante -room by officials of the Lord Chamberlain while the in- fant is comforted. Because such incidents jolt the smooth ritual of Court ceremoni- al, responsible officials suggested to the King a rule forbidding babies in arms and young chit- 'dren. But last week the King, know- ing the difficulties of not -well-off mothers, who perhaps have no- where to leave their children, re- fused his sanction to the complete ban, sagely offered instead "sug- gestion" that babies are not "en- couraged" at Investitures, leaving it possible for mothers to bring their children when necessary though reducing the probable number of future squawks. THE BOOK SHELF TURNING LEAVES By Ellen Proctor The old house seethed to domine 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 proprietory 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 inind 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.

[RADIO REPORTER 6I X FROST "White Christmas" -- everyone has heard and enjoyed the sweet music and lyrics of this very popular song of the moment. In- spired by the spirit of "White Christmas" a special series of dramatic broadcasts between now and the festive season are to be presented over CFBB every Tues- day 10.25 to 10.55 p.m. These programmes depict episodes ems phasising the activities of Brit- ain's younger generation under wartime conditions. The drama- tizations are written by George L. Watson, a young Toronto author and playwright who is standing on the threshold of a promising career. The series of "White Christmas" programmes will sea- sonably remind their listeners of the "Christmas Cheer for British Children" Fund. Speaking of programmes which. lend a colourful interpretation to war -time Great Britain, it is in- teresting to note that Norman Corwin's widely acclaimed Colum- bia series of presentations titled "An American in England" is to be extended for five broadcasts . every Tuesday evening 10 to 10.30 p.m. until the end of the year. The noted CBS producer, director and writer returned re- cently from England where he spent four months directing the former series of broadcasts to America over the shortwave facil- ities of •the British Broadcasting Corporation. The series will deal with the effects of war on the life of small unnamed towns and villages of Britain, will indicate the changes which have taken place in the material, spiritual, commercial and moral life of the communities of the tight little island and will reflect the activi- ties also of Britain's farmers and her men of the sea. Most stations of the Columbia Broadcasting System will carry this series. * * For listeners who may not wish to dwell exclusively on the more serious and tragic aspects of the world of today, the CBC presents a variety of programmes weekly to 1 SALVATION ARMY LEADER • HORIZONTAL An wee toPrevious Puzzle 15 Remedied. 1, 7 Pictured S P I RI(� ,a AR N I D': 20 Male gooee.
