Introductionâ€" From the 12th to the 14th chapicr Paul ((ives his teach- ing un spiritual gifts amoag modern interpreters. The Greeks were on con- tentious people. He emphasizes th« truth that the purpose uf all these frifts is that those who possess them may use them for the whole church. THE HYMN OF LOVE, 13: 1-13. This chapter has been called "the grreatest, strongest, deepest thing Paul ever wrote," and in order to get tho connection one must read it along with tho last verse of chapter 12, which is a kind of bridge. Paul was glad to think that the converts in Corinth have received thise manifold gifts from the Spirit, und he would strongly urge every one to desire these gifts and to develop what he may have. But even the greatest of tht-be gifts is not to be compHred with the graces of the Christian character, of which tho leading one is love. The more excel- lent way of 12: 31 is the way of chap- ter 13, the way of love. (a) The Central Place of Love, 1-3. V. 1. By "tongues" here Paul likely means the ecstatic utterances which these Christians at Corinth were priz- ing so highly: but it may also include articulate as well as inarticulate lan- guage. With love these gifts are not able to win any great blessing, and are like a clanging cymbal, a mere noise. If one is cultivating eloquence merely for its own sake as an accom- plishment, that can have no religious value. V. 2. This verse may refer to intel- lectual gifts, and to the faith which is able to make outward demonstration. Some one has said that here we have "the intellect of the philosopher joined to the inspiration of the seer." But â- without love even lhe.se great endow- Tr«nts do not give that character which is the real standard of value. V. 3. Acts of benevolence and of self-denial, even though these are of an excessive nature, do not bring any blessing from God unless they are mingled with love. Thus love is shown to be the one es.sential factor in the religious character. (b) The Qualities of Love arc Mow given, 4-7. Most of these are de.scribed in a ne- (^ative form, and in his description Paul is evidently keeping in mind tho defects which he sees to exist in this church. V. 1. Ix)ve is gentle and long-suffer- ing. It exercises a merciful delay in inflicting meritejl punishment. It has the grace of kindness. lyovc is no hrag- Kart, does not make any ostentious display, neither is it proud, blowing its own trumpet ar.d making arrogant display. V. .'). I/)vo has a feeling of propri- ety, nor does it fly into a rage on every Blipht cause of provocation. .Some of the heathen writinirs had said that one should never l>o disploa.sed over any- thing, even wrong-doing, but Paul would not go that far. Ho knew there was a place for just indignation. I/)vo also takes no account of evil, which may mean, either, "doth not entertain evil thoughts," or, "doth not suspect evil in others." Ix)ve puts the best construction on the actions of others. V. f). Ixjve is happy. The gladne.ss of tho early church was one of the most attractive features, Acts 2: 4(1. Jesus came that his joy might be in us. A great poet has a line, "happy as a lover." Here joy is foun*! because . the cause of truth is prevailing. V. 7. Four Rtagri in love are men- tioned. (1) 1/ove Ixars the burdens of others, hiding their faults. (2) It believes the best of others. (3) If faith hesitates tl.en hopo still remains. (4) When all else fails, then lovrwill patiently endure. (c) The Abiding Nature of Love, 8-13. V. 8. Paul selects three of the gifts, propfcccy, tongues, knowle<lge, to show that th««e are not eternal. In v. 2 he aaid that these gifts were of no value without love. Now he says that even with love they have merely a tempor- ary place. Ix)ve is the only one of these that abides. V. 13. In this verse the word "now" is not temporal, as if Paul meant to Bay that now faith and hope could abide, but that hereafter love would 1)0 the only force to remain. "Now" hers means "bikI ho." These are the three abiding trraces, faith, hope, charity i and even uinonK the graces luve haa first place. Why love k the ifreatest, Paul does not say, but we may remind ourselves that God la love. Here, therefore, wo bring tho eub- iect to a conclusion. All glfta At? to cultivated: let no ChrlitlBn d«»pia« them. Every accomplishment, every Intellectual faculty that can adorn and grafe human nature, should be cultivated and polished to ita hlg:he»t capability. Yet these are not the things that bring ua nearer God. "If we love one another, God dwelleth ia us and his love Is perfected in us."

Between Two Slices of Bread The sandwich Is one of the most desirable foods tor the lunch box. There are many kinds which can be prepared from while bread, graham bread, whole wheat bread, and nut bread with different fillings. I often prepare: Meats chopped flue and moistened with cream, gravy, or salad dressing. Dried fruits such as flga, raisins, dates, and prunes chopped fine and cooked to paste. Lomou juice may bo added for flavor. ProHorvod fruits, as jams, jollies, fruit butters, marmalades and con- serves.

It the lunch Is not eaten, the surplrse is omitted for a time. The individual likes and dUllkes of the child must bo taken Into con- sideration when packing the lunch box, tor we cannot expect the child to eat at school what he or she will not eat at home. All food should bo neatly wrapped In wax paper before packing, then packed in the order In which the food will be eaten.
