THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The Epistle to th Qalatians was written about A.D. 68. The first Epistle to the Thessalonians was written about A.D. 54. The two Epistles to timothy were written at the end f Paul's life perhaps A.D. 65 or GG. The Second Epistle of Peter was written approximately t the same time A.D. 66; while the Epistle of Jude was also writ- ten between A.D. 66 and 70. PUce. Galatia was one of the great provinces of Asia Minor in Paul's day. Thessalonica was a city located in what we would call northern Greece, then known as Macedonia. The designation of 2 Peter and Jude are not given In those respective epistles. Paul'* Goipel Inipired Gal. 1:11. "For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man. 12. For nsither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ." The Apostle Paul is here defending the supremacy of his mossaRe over all false teaching, which had been brought into the Galatian Churches by Judaizers and by those who were mixing works with the truth of salvation by grace. Verse eleven might be said to present the negative side of the question his Gospel did not come from men; the twelfth verse present* the positive side It came to him through revelation of Jesus Christ. How Thetialoniant Received It I Thess. 2:13. "And for this ca !- we also thank God without ceasing, that, when y received from us the word of the message, ven the word of God, ye accepted k not as the word of men, but, a* it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh In you that believe." Paul had himself preach- ed to the Thessalonian Church, a record of which is found In Acts 17:1-0. The First Epistle to the Thes.salonians ia the first epistle, a fur as we know, that Paul ever wrote us an apostle to one of the grc-it Christian Churches of hit day. He is commending the Thes- alunian* for receiving hli nics- ago not us one baaed on human peculation, on man's wisdom, but as one given to him by God, though spoken through mortal lips. Pnul was but the instrument, God wan the primary author nnd origin. The experience of the Aposlle Paul with the Thc-ssnlonians ought to be, even if in a lesser decree, tin; experience of all true mini- sters of the. Word of God, lu thoy tatul before their people to preach. li< . Doctrine of Inspiration It in interesting to note thiit In Paul's last three epintlcs, the two to Timothy, nnd the one to Titus, ho Hprnkfl more often uf faith, of teaching, of doctrine, of th truth, of the Word, of Scrip- ture, than in any oilier part of any of his writings of nimilnr li'iij'.ih. It is quite nignificunt that the greatest statement Paul ever made about the Word of God, he makes here at the end of MM life, a conclusion resulting from long years of absolute do- volion to Christ, nnd the Word of C.0,1.

Wherefore, be- loved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, with- out spot and blameless in his sight. 16. And account that the long- suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; 16. As also in all his epistles, speak- ing In them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and uhstedfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction." The apostle has just been speak- ing of the coming of the Lord, and especially of those who, in * scoffing way, insisted that the Lord was not coming because thus far they had not seen Him. But, uyi Peter, the day of the Lord will come. If such U so, and righteousness is to reign st his eoming, and we are to be In new world by His grace, then we ought to give diligence to our personal life. These things, said the. Apostle Peter, Paul himself, their beloved brother had unfold- ed In some of hl epistles, which, h admitted, were quite hard to understand, and yet should be understood by the help of the Holy Spirit. Contending for the Faith Jude 3: 3. "Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common sal- vation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting 'you to con- tend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints." If, then, we have In our hands not only an inspired Word from God, but the only in- spired Word that God has given to men, permanently recorded in writing, how tragic if this Word should be lost, if its glory should be minimized, If its truths should be perverted, or twisted, or denied.

Each summer Boy Scouts in various parts of the Dominion are called upon to help search for lost persons. One of the first calls this summer came to the Scouts of Bobcaygeon, Ont., to assist in the search for a woman cottager who had disappeared in swamp and bush land crossed by numer- ous creeks. She was found where she had fallen down the side of a small ravine, suffering injuries which prevented her moving. When Montreal High School en- tered the local National Salvage drive, Patrol Leader Teddy Stan- ley of the school's Boy Scout Troop brought in one of the big- gest contributions, in a double sense. This was the 400 pounds of tinfoil he had been saving in order to secure an artificial arm from a firm advertising such a project. He had suffered ampu- tation as the result of an infec- tion. Two London Boy Scouts, Pat- rol Leader Jack Olden and Patrol Second Dennis Edwards, were on fire watching duty in their dis- trict when one of the last heavy Nazi bombing raids occurred. At 2 o'clock in the morning they were in the thick of the fight to quench incendiary bombs. At 3 a.m. a new and heavier wave of bombs, high explosives and incendiaries, fell further ^lown the street. One incendiary had gone through to the base- ment of a dentist's premises and lodged in a cupboard. When the two Scouts arrived the fire was blazing furiously, but they at- tacked it with their stirrup pumps and sand, and eventually succeed- ed in putting it out. Then they made their way to a burning school, where they took over the hose and tackled the fire while the firemen attacked the blaze in a hall next door. Next, seeing a blaze on the roof of a five-store,> building, they climbed in through a win- dow and made their way to th top. No hand-pumps were avail- able there, but they found some buckets. With these they ran down to the lower floor for water, and hastened back, up a ladder, through a trap door to the roof. The incendiary bombs were still falling, and the boys turned to "roof hopping," sanding out bombs as r.st .: t' : . in this they outstripped the men. Several times the blasts and vi- bration from high-explosive bombs nearly blew them from the roof tops. At 6.30 a.m. two weary Scout* went home for a wash and break- fast before going to their office jobs for a day's work.
