His First F.pistle to the Corinthians was wril'.cn about 59 A.T>., while the epist!c to the Galatians was written probihly in the year CI A.D. Pb -e. â€" Tho epistle to the Romans wa.s '..ricten to Home from the city of Corinth, in Greece; the First Epi-s- tle to the Corinthians was written from t'r.e city of Kphcsus; while the epi.:tle to the Galatians was written from tho city of Corinth. 12. The night is far spent, anJ the day is at h^ni. (See Thcss. 5:5). The passc^e ir.ay refer to our Lord's First Ad\ent, v.hen the dar^cncsa of heathy enism i;c:jan to paso away and the day of li3;ht end gosptl purity com- raenced; i*. may a.so refer to the ap- proaching clay when the Lord Jesus Christ would come back again. Let U3 therefore cast oft the works of carl;nes3. "No doubt tho word dark- ness s'Ji;g:ests also 'the powers of the darkness. â-  the pcf-sonal spiritual 'rul- ers cf the darkness,' who tempt the soul a.-.d inte.^si^y its tendencies to evil. The hubit resulting from these Ueei'.3 is here figured as a night robe which is to be put off as the sleeper rises to con-Jiict" jXnd let us put on the armor of light. "There is the light of sincerity, the light of purity, the light of love, the light of Joy. IC. Let us walk becomingly, as in t'ne day; rot in revelling. .And I'run- kenne-s. Net in ch-imbering. (Pro- fessor MojTat tra.islates this word "debauchery.") Ar.d wantonness. It mears not only licentiousness, but "lawless insolence and riotous ex- cess." Not in strife. That is, con- tention, whether it be at home, in school, among neighbors, in social circles, in business, or in a church. -And jealousy. 1-1. Dut put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ. Christian life is not one e:np- ty of the tliirgs of the world so much as it is one filled with the thinirs o;' the LorJ. We sha'l not walk in dark- , ness, if we put en the Lord Jesus , Chri-:. .And make not provision for . the llosh, to fulfil the lust- thereof- •Let the evil thing die of fa.mlne. Let the ungodly suggestion perish for jheer lack of food Kill your spirit- ual enemies by starvation. This ap- pears to be the piinciple advocated by the great apostle for the culture of the spiritual life. Or know ye not that the unright- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Unrighteousness is wrong do- ing of any kind. .\ person v%ho lives in unrighteousness, the apostle clear- ly tells us here, and elsewhere. Is one who cannot enter into the kingdom ot God. Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adult- erers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men. 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers. nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11. .And such were some of you, but ye were washed. It possibly means that when they were baptized, having accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, they deliberately put away the filthiness of these sins from their lives. But ye were sanctified, bat ye were justified. "It is best to take 'sanctitied' in the sense of dedicated to God, and 'justifed' as referring to the actual, motal righteousness of life, which is brought about by union with Christ. In the name of the Lord iesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. No raiittcr how great, or d,>ep, or powerful, Ibe sin w^ich most easily besets us, tlie three per- sons of the Godhead can certainly subdue this sin, and deliver us for- ever from its power. -And ye shall not fulfil the Uist of the ticsh- The meaning simp'y is "life in its outgoing shall not con- sist in indulgence of carnal affections, being otherwise occupied, ;i;-eoccu- pied, filled up." 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these arc contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. 18. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not un- der the law. Paul does not mean that we s'-all live a life in which the flesh playi no part, but that we shall not be slaves to fleshly desires, but shall live in our bodies as the Holy Spirit di'-tites, not as bodily desires dictate. This conflict is not present in the lives of unbelievers. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornica- tion, uncleanness, lasciviousness. 20. Idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties. 21. Envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did fore- warn you, that they who practise sa:h things shall not inherit the king- dom of God. -A fourfold classifica- tion of the fifteen sins here mention- ed has been suggested: (1) sensual vices; (2) religious vices connected with heathendom; (3) malevolent vices, enmities, strife, jealousies, etc. (4) vices of excess or intemperance. Walk in tlie Holy Spirit What should be given the greater emphasis in this lesson is not the vices which we are to put away, and deny, and triumph over, though these certainly should be spoken of, but the meaning of and the daily e.'cperience of the glorious privilege of walking in the power and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, the Third Person of the Godhead. It is by the Holy Spirit that we are indwelt. .\s a person, he has a most intimate knowledge of each one of us. -As the Holy Spirit, his desires for us are always the most holy. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is. "-AH these graces spring out of one living root. The origin of this fruit Is the Holy Spirit, not man's spirit, but the Holy Spirit himself. Those who are led by the Spirit not only do not do the wor'xs cf the flesh, but they bring forth the fruit of the Spirit." Love. This stands first, the root of all ot'ner graces, love for God and love for one another. Joy. 'Joy is opposed to dullness, despond- ency, indifference, and <ill the de- structions and remorses which are wrought by the works of the flesh. This joy is the spring of energy, and praise wells out of the joyful heart. Peace. This is the first peace with God, which has been obtained for us by the Lord Jesus Christ. This peace leads to perfect tranquility in the human heart- Longsuffering. "It enables us to bear injury without at once avenging ourselves." Kindness. The word means 'the soft answer," "a loving and synipathetizing tem- per." Goodness. It is difficult to distinguish between goodness and kindness, though probably the latter word means the actual, visible mani- festation and exercise of the virtue of kindness. Righ here one might re- member that love. joy. and peace are virtues that we have in ourselves by the Holy Spirit, without particular regard to others, except God ; w hile longsuffering, kindness, and goodness, are never developed except as we are in contact with others. They are not virtues that have to do with our- selves as we are living among men and women. 23. Meekness. ".A grace of the soul which consists in habitual sub- mission to the dealings of God. aris- ing from the sense of his greatness and the mind's own readiness to sin. Hence then, we are to pass over tho insults and wrongs inflicted by men as permitted by God, and a part of his discipline." That is, the holding in of the passions and appetites. .\gainst such there is no law. You can never find any law on any of the statute-books of any Christian nation legislating against the virtues here enumerated. 24. .And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the f.esh with the passions and the lusts thereof. By crucifying the flesh and its pas- sions and lusts is meant taking a de- liberate and positive stand againist their domination and their incite- ments, a reckoning of one's self to be dead indeed unto sin, bui to b« alive unto God- Compstition Perils Norway Whai'mg The Norwegian whaling industry, one ot tht^ coi'ntry's most important upon which about SO.OOO people are dt'pendont. is threatened with colUipse- Norwegiiin ship owners are mes'ting incroaod foreisii competition, espe- cially from Germany, which is dovel- optn« a whalin.i; industry.

Australians Want Upside-Down Globe To simplify things when teaching geography the Australians want to turn the world upside-down. That is to say. to mount their geographical globes with the south pole at the top :\nd the north pole at the bottom of the axis. Globes are actually the only ac- curate representation of the relative positions of the various oo:itinents and se;;s, for the shape of a globe is the shape of the world. .\1I flat maps distort too actual position of one place in its i elation with a'lother, since it •< impossible to make allow- iir.ce for the curve of the earth's sur- face. tail- Then, with his hands badly in- jured, he dragged the vanquished croc to a pumping station where it was killed and skinned by Mr. E.
