GOLDEN TEXTâ€" Let ire not be weary in welldoing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not: Galatians 6: 9. The Lesson in its Setting Time. â€" The appointment of the first deacons in the early church was in 33 A.D. The First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthiani and the epistle to the Galatians were written about 56 A.D.; and the first epistle of Paul to Timothy 63â€" G<3 A.D. Place. â€" The appointment of the first deacons took place in Jerusalem. The City of Corinth was a great metropolis in northern Greece. Gal- atia was a province in Asia Minor. Timothy was residing in Ephesus when Paul wrote his first epistle to him. It is not true that nothing is ever accomplished without work. It is true that nothing of any value is ever accomplished without work. This is just as true in the great enterprises of the Christian church, in the pleaching of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the winning of souls to the Saviour, in the building up of believers. As Marshal Foch oncf cried out: "Gifts! Gifts! There is no such thing. There is noth'ng but hard work. There is nothing but that, even for the artist. Do not count upon gifts! Work!" Our WorK As Christians The first paragraph of six ver-^es can hardly be separated from the verse that immediately precedes it â€" "For we are God's fellow- workers: ye are God's husbandry. God's build- ing." Cannot God do it all Himself? No. God needs man to carry out His purposes. ''.According to the grace of God wh ch was given unto me as a wise masttrbuilder" â€" The word here translated ''raasterbuilder'' is the Greek word architekton. from which comes our word architect. "I laid a founc'ation." Paul means that he had founded the church at Corinth, .is well as many other churches. "And another buildcth thereon." Other men were (necessarily) carrying on the work of the Christian Church at Corinth, teachers, preachers, evangel- ists and pastors. Paul could be at only one place at one time. "But let each man take heed how he build- cth thereon. For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." â€" If any- one proceeds to lay another founda- tion over Christ, it is not a Christian church he is meaning to build. He who does not proceed upon the facts of Christ's life and death, he whose instruction does not pri - suppose Christ as his foundation may be use- ful for some purpose of life, but not as a builder of the Christian temple. A Sure Foundation "But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; Each man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is reveal- ed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is"' â€" Exactly what in the mind of Paul corresponded to these various materials is not quite certain. Some think he referred to true or false doctrines. Others suppose that Paul had reference here to persons, some good and some worthless, who are brought into the visible church of Christ. Still others believe that the apostle referred to the moral and spiritual fruits of the work of Christ- ian teachers in the lives and charac- ters of their disciples and followers. The firo which Paul refers is simply a symbol of judgment, like fire which t?sts the true value of gold or silver. "The day," of course, the day of Christ's return for his own, when his cwn will be given rewards for the things v/hich they have done upon earth. "If any man's work shall abiJa which he built thereon, he shall re- ceive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; Taut he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire." The architect has to give his certificate before the builder gets his check, and the man who has built "gold, silver, precious stones," will have over and above his initial salvation in himself the bless- ed consequences, and unfold the largo results of his faithful service; while the other man. inasmuch as he hr.s not such work, cannot have the con- sequences of it, and gets no wages, or at least his pay is subject to heavy deductions for the spoiled bits in the cloth and for the gaps in the wall. The picture of this man is of one surrounded by a conflagration, and making a rush through the flames to get to a place of safety. We begin there where we left off here. The Sowing of Seed ''But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things" â€" The word here translated "communicate" means, to have in common, to share, and Paul means that Christians, with a rich understanding of the word of God, should share their spiritual treasures one with another, either by the writing of letters, by edifying conversation, by the n-riting of books, or by public speaking, or otherwise. "Be not deceived; God is not mock- ed: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life." â€" Never in the world of nature, but so often in moral matters, men are deceived into believing that, no matter what kind of seed is sown, the consequences will not be so bad after all; or that they can sow one kind of seed and reap another. Men are deceived into be- lieving "they can sow folly and reap wisdom; they c^in sow wild oats, and gather honest wheat. If there is a sowing, there must be a reaping, and if there is a reaping, it will absolute- ly depend upon that which is sown. The corruption which is reaped be- gins here and continues in the life to come. The bloated face, the sensual leer, the sullen brow tells us what is going on within. To sow to the Spirit is simply to live a spirit- ual life, in the power of the Spirit of God, led by his Spirit, energized by his Spirit, seeking the will of God himself. "And let us not be weary in well- doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."â€" Martin Luther has well said that it is an easy matter for one to do good once or twice, but to continue and not be discouraged through the ingratitude and perverseness of those to whom he has done good, that is very hard. A young man goes to his first place with boundless hopes of other and greater spheres opening to him in due time. He comes to discover, like the vast majority of us, that the ten talents have not been given him. Slowly and painfully the veil of il- lusion is drawn from his life, and he recognizes that he is to be but a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. The front places, the grander tasks are not meant for him. It is indeed a critical hour when the cold unwelcome truth discloses itself. "So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith." â€" In this verse the teaching of the entire preceding passage seems to be gummed up. "The church of Christ on earth is frequently desig- nated as the house or family of God. Love always desires the good of others. Notice especially the phrase, "as we have opportunity." Oppor- tunities do not tarry for long. An opportunity lost may never be recov- ered again. Anglers At Festival Compete With High Seas r ::'''^^':^:.^.
