REMEMBRANCE Ten million spirits -- restless and sighing, Scarce yet their bones are mingled with dust, "They died for peace" -- an all-glorious vision •To end all wars," their sacred trust. Little white crosses, what do they stand for? Naught but an emblem of trust that's betrayed; The "vision" is blurred, the war clouds have gathered, And men have forgotten the promises made. Oh, Man of the Cross, look down now in pity On a world all bewildered with friction and hate; Bring back the "vision", that ten million died for, Raise up the Cross of Peace ere 'Lis too late! -- MAUD KERR Sunday School Lesson LESSON VII THE CHRISTIAN MINISTER 2 Timothy, Chap. 4; 2 Timothy 2: 1-4 Printed Text--1 Timothy 4: 6-16; 2 Timothy; 2: 1-4 Golden Text--Neglect not the gift that is in thee. 1 Timothy 4: 14. The Lesson In Its Setting Time.--The first epistle of Paul to Timothy was probably written A.D. 63-66, and the second epistle about A.D. 67. Place.--Second Timothy was written written from Rome, where Paul was a prisoner. The first epistle of Paul to Timothy was probably written about A.D. 66, immediately before Paul's second imprisonment, imprisonment, while the second epistle to Timothy was written shortly before before martyrdom, while he was a prisoner prisoner in Rome, A.D. 67. Paul could not emphasize the im- , ortance of the truth which he un- ids in the first three verses of this ..iiiapter more than to say that this matter had been expressly given by the Holy Spirit. 6. If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shall, be a good minister of Christ Jesus. The word here translated "minister" means, literally, literally, "a laborer," "one who serves." Nourished in the words of the faith. These of course, refer td the Holy Scriptures, And of the good doctrine which thou hast followed until how.

The self- denial, and persistence, and concentration concentration which are expended in athletic pursuits put to shame the way in which Christians go about the task of doing their religion. 8. For bodily exercise is profitable for a little ; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come. 9. Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation. What is promised is life, i.e.. the very highest blessedness blessedness both in this world and the next. St. Paul means exactly what our Lord means when he says, I am come that ye may have life and may have it more abundantly.' 10. For to this end we labor and strive. Because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of them that believe. 11. These things command and teach. The great motive power in the life of the Christian minister, that which keeps him from fainting by the way, from giving up in despair, is that he. is in fellowship with the living living God, with whom some day lie Will be in glory, who has appointed him to the supreme work of bringing men to know and accept the Lord Jesus : Christ as Saviour. God is the Saviour of all men in so far as he sent bis : only begotten Son into the world that, whosoever should believe on him would be saved, and have everlasting life. ■ 12. Let no man despise thy youth. In the early church a bishop was net appointed until he was at. least fifty years of age. But be thou an ensani pie. Here it means that Timothy was to be a model for other Christian believers. believers. To them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. "The five words describe five stages from the most defined external to the most defined internal characteristics--speech, characteristics--speech, behavior, love, faith, purity; love, as ' it were, belonging equally to the inner and the outer self and combining all."
