Henoe, It ls proper here to expoae three orrors made by the tnternatlonal committee. In tho lesaon of the day. The tltle glven by them as above ls ap? proprlate only as eovorlng the flrBt three vorBes.

In that woy alono ray tho several Items presented hero recelvo thelr propor sottlng.and thelr falr con slderatlon. . JTJST DUES.-(Verses 7 and 8.) The duty of tho Chrlstlan to the civll powors ls unfoldcd In versos 1 to 0. All the offlcors ot government are ordalned ot God?they aro torrors to evildoera, mlnis tcrs ot rtghteouanesa to the people, and aro worthy of all honor. (Dan., 11:21.) Thls Ib mado tho grojjnd for a general rule -which rhios above oven polltlcal Intorosts and covers overy condltlon and rolatlon ln llfe. Somothlng ls duo to overy human belng?to ono trtbuto, to an othor fear, to another honor. Llfe ls a notwork of influences. No one llveth to himBolf. (Rom., xlv:7). Every one ls obllgated to every other, and by these roclprocal dtitloa soclety Ib made a com pllcatod systcm, In whlch each must flnd a place and act a part. I-Ience, each must carefully consldor what ls Justly duo to each person wlth whom he comes In con? tact nnd rendor that wlth exactnesa and promptness. In thls way thero must be an effort to keep out of dobt, to owe no man anythlng, nnd to fcel that only ono debt la nllowable, nnmely, love. BRIEF LAW.?(Versea 8 and 9.) Thls concoptlon of human relatlons and dutlos puts now complexion upon tho law. In every country loglslatlvo bodlcs havo prescrlbed or prohlbited and so regulated conduct. The statutes enacted ln overy State are numerous and compllcatod, nnd tho many revlBions show that tho work has norer boen perfect. Tt fails to meet all clrcumstancos. On SInal (Ex. xx:3-17.) God gavo a code ln ten requlroments whlch havo beon admlred wherever they havo been publlshed as Blmplo, compre henslvo and Just. Paul Bhows that theSe may all bo compresscd Into one?"thou shalt love thy nelghbor as thyself." Lore fulfllls all tho enactments portalnlng to man. Thls Is only a repetltlon of what Jesus had sald (Matt. xxll:39), and, In dood, Is In full harmony wlth the teach lng of Mosos. (Lav. xlx:18.) It [b brotight Into thls placo to show that mechanleal conformlty to a law ls not a truo keep Ing of It. Be-hind the act there must bo a stato of tho hoart. HA^RMI^ESS LOVE.?(Verse 10.) But why ls love so essontlal? Why does lt glvo slgnlffcaiica and value to the act7 why is It, In fnct, equlvalent to all the obllgations Imposod upon men wlth reference to thelr fellows? Because lt la a regulative forco, and that ln two Bensaa?lt prompta to good deeds and restralns from orll deeds, The lator aro those tbtngs of whloh tbe law takes eognlrance, whlch ls punlshes with the -vlow to prevent u repetltlon. But love does moro than the lay. It keeps one from doingr any harm to hls nolgh bor, He who loves needs no law, and none ls formulated for hlm. He rises In an? other realm where he has respect to the rlghts and lnterosts of others nnd seeks to promotQ them. If all man wero prompt ed by love all thn crlmlnal lawB would bo dead lotters, and soclety would spued lly come to n most pear.oful and happy state, ThlH la one thlng boubM by tha Rospel fRom. xll:10), whoso attalnment wlll brlng ln that golden ora for whlch good henrts pray and earnest hands labor. (Malt. v|:10.) . QOSPEL TrME? (Verse 11.) Havlng Bhown tho power atf lovo ns a rogula tlve prlnclple ln human affairs the gos pel preaents a roason for ItB adoptlon bayond tho morn fact that It hrlngs good and prevonts evll. A now dlspemmtlon or era has como, a tlme of larger llght nnd prlvllego, when the gOBpel ln all lts purlty Is preoched to all. men. Remem berlng thla fact nll tlio followers of Chrlst aro nxpeclod to nwoke out of aleep. to oomn io thelr best Intelloctual nnd splrltunl state, tojlead aholyllfo and do Jnstly to all. Here Is a beautlful flg uro ot speoch. Thn now tlme was llko tbe dawn of the day, whon men leave thoir couohes.nnd go fOTth to duty. So says Paul must tho ChrlHftan oonsldor that ho Is to suminon hlmself to tho utmost posslhllltlM of good llvlng. And thla ho ought to do wlth grenter nlac rlty, becanso nt that tlme progress had beon mado and the rosulls wero nppar ont, Salvatlon. tho and sought, was noaror than when falth wns llrst exorr ciaod. Thore wns a dally approaoh to tho now klngflom. PAST TIME?(Verse 12.) Nntunglly tho mlnd of Paul turnod from the glory of Iho present tlme, tha gnspel day, to'con? sldor ln contrnst the darknesa that was piiHsed. The doplorable condltlon of tho hoathen had been portrayod by hlm ln tho eallor part of thla eplatle (Rom. I: 21-81). and tho .Tows were not far be hlnd. notwlthstandlng thoy had been so hlghly favored. (Rom. IHi 9.) But tfie tlme for such Ignnranoo nnd crlmo was far Bpent. lt was rapldly fltsnppearlng hoforo tho splondor of the dny, ot whlch montinri hi-.d Just boau mnde. Undor such ulrcumstances the hollovers are called to emergo from tho dnrkness to tho IlKht, to advanco from the past to the present. Tho exhortatlon Ib llk? that whlch mlght be mado now w)fh proprlety lo any who proposod to ilnger In tho gloom of the elghteonth contury which has wholly departed. forgotful that the twontlcth contury has como wlth all lts magniflcent bpportunltlos, lts hlgh Ideals and Hs aplendld proepeots. put on. then. the armor of llght, the" defense agalnst avil provided ln ,tho now day, HONEBT WALK. (Vcrso 13.) To walk ls an exprosslon donotlng to Uve. (Psalm I., 1.) Lot us walk mcaiiB let us conduct ourselvcs. Honestly means decontly or In a becomlng mannor, In a mannor ap proprlato to tho chlldron of llght, tho chlldrcn of God?as ln the dayj as If all our actloHH woro seon and known. Chris tlans ahould. IIva ns If thoy had nothlng to ooncoal. Thls rulo wlll excludo certain acts, as rlottng, tho nolny and obstreporoua mlrth, tho sconos of dlsordor and scnsu allty Indulged by tho ungodly; nlso drunk cnneaa, then common In tho hcathott world, moro common than now, evcn among tho notablos (Dan. v.. 2), and chamberlng and wantonness, lovvd, tm niodest behavlor, illlclt indulgenco of all klnds. It wlll bo notlccd that Paul horo onurnerates thoso dcbaslng practiccfl of whlch tho pagans wero gultty, so Inde cont that tfjoy cannot bo dcserlbod hero wlth proprlwty. And thoso aro Jolned wlth Btrife and envylng, oontentlons and dlsputcB leBS loathsomo but not less troublcsome, all whlch must bo put away from tho llfo of tho Chrlstlan as wholly unbocomlng to hlm. EXALTED AIMS.-(Verse 14.) Now comos In the closlng verso, the hlgh pur poso whlch ought to control tho Chrls? tlan. Thls is in two parts, posltlvo and ncgatlva. Mcntlonlng tho latter first wo havo "make no provlslon for tho lusta of tho flesh, for the iirpropor, excesslve nnd htirtful Indulgenco of anlmal appo tltes, Subordlnate the body to the. so.ul. (1 Cor. lx:27), and lay no plans and glvo no opportunlty for morely physlcal gratl flcatlonB not controlled by rcason and conaclenco. In thls prescrlptlon a blow Ib almed at a largo part of tho Immorall tles and vlcos of men that causo such mtaery. 0 Poter 11:11.) Now over,ngalnsc thls klnd of llfo whlch ls condamned tboro Ib placed another llfe. "Put ye on tho Lord Josus Chrlst." Horo Ib a form of exprosslon commonly omployed ln rofer enco to clothlng. To put on a pernon moans to imblbo hls prlnclplcs, to 1ml tato hls oxample, to copy hls splrlt, to becomo like him. So the Greek wrlters speak of puttlng on Plnto or Socr.-.tos. Thus our lesson closos wlth holdiug beforo tho mlnd tho matchless llfo of the Sa vlour of man. as a pattern to all of hla followers. CLOSING THOUOHTS?Our lesBon nat urnlly falls under three groat hcads. the ?splrlt, tho rnotlve. tho pattern of Chrls tlon llvlng. Tho splrlt must be ono of cx act Justlco and controlllng lovo, render Ing to every mnn what Is duo out of re gard for hlm, not beeause somo law oin pols but becauso a genoroua affectlon prompta, tha ntato of tho hcart rcgulatlng tho outwnrd llfo. Tho motlve to thls i? found ln tho fact that tho days of wlck edness, of wrong. of selflshness aro pass ed or aro passlng away and tho better day of llght and llborty, of peace:and good wlll has dawnod and ls far advanc:.), rendarlng such llfo approprlato and ne cossary. The pattern Is not to bo found ln a carnal mnn, movlng on the low plane passlon, a plano bolow that of tho benat, but of the splrltuol man who nsplrcs to bo confronted to tho' Image ot Josus Chrlst, the Idcal man. the noblost and best typo of our humanlty. who glorifies tho ' rncc In hls spotleBs purlty and-jifads It to God In the Bweetest fellowshlp (1 John 1:7). ^?^H-H-r-H'-f^'J-H-H^-t-J-r jfi the TSheatres, ? ^.^j~H-^'^J~H--H"H-I-H-W''I-J--IH-'j~!?
