SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 111 RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHURCH REGARDING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL II Cor. S:9-13i Titut 2:1-8 GOLDEN TEXT "Ye r. tl. !t of tk earth." Matt. 5:13. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tim*. The first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was writ- ten from Kphesus about A.D. 59. The Kpistle to Titus waa written by the Apostle when hs was in prison in Rome, shortly befor* hi death, A.D. 65. Place. The city of Corinth was located in the northern extremity of Greece. Titus, when lie re- ceived this Epistle, waa probably exercising hu ministry In th Island of Crete. Keeping Good Company Paul's First EpUU to the great Church ac Corinth was al- most entirely devoted to two primary questions th matter of personal purity among Christians, and the problems that aris in the institution known as th Church of Christ, problems of fellowship, of Church government, of doctrine, etc. In this passage, these two problems of purity and Church life are brought together. 1 Cor. 5:9. "I wrote unto you in my epistle to hava no company with fornicators; 10. Not at all meaning with the for- nicators of this world, or with the {" '"u.s :md extortioners, or with idols I.TS; for then must yt need* go out of the world." Paul of co'-vsc is not ccncc-^f-d with cataloguing all the flagrant sin- ners i the world. He mentions three classes as being sufficient for his purpose. A covetous per- son is greedy, avaricious, often crooked. An extortioner is of th same type, but he does not stop even at violent measures to rob others. What Paul wants the Corinthians to know is that what he meant in his former (and now lost) epistle, by not keeping com- pany with fornicators, is that they should keep no company with such in th Church, as con- tracted to the world, or perhaps, more definitely, that they wars not to bo on any intimate terms with such paopl in the world, whether they had businew deal- ings with them or not. Dealing. With the Wicked 11. "But as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company. If any man that It named a brother b a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunk- ard, or an extortioner: with such a one no, not to eat." Among the ancients, for a man to re- ceive any at his table, was much more a sign of intimacy than in our day; and the apostle) is un- willing that by the sign of so losi- a personal relation, the idea should be authorized that th vicious man is acknowledged by other Christians a.s worthy of th name. lli. "For what have I to do with judging them that are with- out? Do not ye judge them that arc within? i:j. But them that arc without God judgeth. Put awny the wicked man from among yourselves." Paul here is remind- ing the Corinthians that he is speaking directly and exclusively to those that are in the Church, and he brings his admonition on thi particulai point to a power- ful ronclusion by saying that thosr who were in the Church practising these things should !> put out of the Church; the) Church since has suffered greatly because it has neglected this part of the New Testament teaching concerning Church membership. Such action today might cause some consternation in our com- placent membership, but it might bring a stirring, surprising, awak- ening message to an unbelieving world. Genuine Chriitian Character Titus was a Greek Christian, an intimate friend of the Apostla Paul, a companion of the great missionary in some of his apostolis journeys, and probably one of his converts. Here it appears that Titus, together with an unnamed brother, had been sent to Corinth, ai the apostle's delegate to the) Corinthian Church, where his chief business wa evidently to deal with the cases of immoral- ity which had occurre 1 thura. Titus was later left on ths> Island of Crete, to set in order th Church there. In Paul's Epistls bo Titus, he advises him how to deal with the various classes of persons met with. Titui 2:1. "But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine": Sound doctrlnsi ii, of course, the truth ralating to the) Christian religion, is understood by the mind and cherished and held by the heart, having- its) fruite in the daily conduct. 2. "That aged man be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in lovs, in patience! 3. That aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers no* slaved te much wins, teachers) f that which i good; 4. That thsy may train tb* young worn** to love their husbands, to lovs thsir children, 6. To be sober- minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:" The Christian home is not a place where a man rules with a rod of iron. There is nothing more beau- tiful in the world than a home where husband and wife face all problems together, have each oth- er's absolute confidence, do all things in harmony, and in peace. 8. "The younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: 7. In all things showing thyself an ex- ample of good works; in thy doc- trine showing Incorruptness, gra- vity, 8. Sound speech, that can- not be condemned; that he that Is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us." When the life of the preacher is an example of good works, and his teaching is in spirit sincere, in manner reverent, and in substance true, the opposer finds nothing to criticise, and is plainly without reason in his op- position. He is thus disarmed. And the first part of the fight in winning him to Christ is over. Post- War Plan To Ban Bombers An "effective collective system of defence" enforced by armed international authority is the basis of a post-war policy for the world outlined by the League of Nations union executive committee pre- sented at a union meeting on June 2Gth. Abolition of aggressive weapons and supervision to prevent their construction also should be ob- tained by international agree- ment, the committee said. WHEN WAR'S OVER "We believe," the committee added, "that when this war is over there will be a popular da- mand in all countries for the abo- lition of bombing aircraft and if the demand should lead to the abolition of military air forces and to international control 'of civil aviation, it would be possible for the first time to arm an in- ternational authority with a wea- pon possessed by no national state." Women are replacing men in Great Britain on the railways at port i. i, buffet-car attendants, signalnun, ticket-collectors, and van-drivers.

Some mornings the fog hugs tue clilfs like dense smoke over a vast factory district on a windless day.
