(60. 1921. Western Newspaper Union) THE EPISTLE OF JAMES LESSON TEXT—Jas 119-27. GOLDEN TEXT—"Be ye doers of the word, and not heaters only"—Jas 122. PRIMARY TOPIC—Loving and obeying JUNIOR TOPIC—Be Ye Doers of the Word INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Doers of the Word YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Religion According to James The book of James was written to Jewish Christiana scattered abroad who were passing through some trials and persecutions. The pre-eminent aim was to show these humble believers how to live in such trying times. James recognized the difficulties of Christian living resulting from the attitude of the unbelieving Jews, and knew also the added difficulties of pride, jealousy and cowardly compromises which might spring up within. He showed that all these must be met with the realities which inhere in the religion of Jesus Christ. 1. Receiving the Engrafted Word (vv. 19-21). 1. What Is the Engrafted Word? "Engrafted" means implanted. In verse 18 he speaks of having been begotten by the Word. The figure is that of a planting of the seeds of truth. The Christian doctrines as contained in the Word, when quickened by the Holy Spirit result in regeneration. The divine method of regeneration is the preaching of God's word made living and active by the Holy Spirit. 2. How the Word Is Received (v. 19). (1) "Be swift to hear." This means to be ready and eager to use every opportunity to get acquainted with God's word. Obedience to this injunction will make one diligent in the reading of the Bible, and in attendance at the church services where the Word of God is being taught. (2) "Slow to speak." From what follows we infer that this refers to religious controversies. It means that whether in the places of worship or in whatever circumstances, we should give respect and thoughtful attention to what our Christian brethren are saying. (3) "Slow to wrath." Heated discussions sometimes develop in our conferences, even when we gather to consider the doctrines of God's word. Sometimes one may even fancy that anger is justifiable. In such cases we should remember the injunction, be slow to wrath. 3. The Reason for Recelving the Word (iv. 20.21). "The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." Angry debating among Christians never helped to make known God's righteousness. Man's anger springs out of the fountain of his depravity. Therefore its expression can only have a lightening effect upon those who listen, and even upon the speaker in its reaction upon him. II. Coming Into Self-Knowledge (vv. 22.25). Receiving the engrafted Word through swiftness to hear, and obeying its holy precepts will result in that experimental knowledge of one's self which brings true blessings. By "doers of the Word," is meant those who make obedience their habitual attitude. The truths of God's word will permeate their very life and he expresses in everything they do and say. Those who hear and do not obey are self deceased. Those who go through the form of religion without coming under its power are likened to men who grieve into the mirror beholding the natural face, and then go away and forget how they look. III. Pure Religion (vv. 21-27) This means that those who have become donors of the Word will in their outer lives manifest the following traits: 1. Bridling the Tongue (v. 26). This means that they will speak with discretion. God gave man two ears and but one tongue. The ears are exposed, but the tongue is walled in by the teeth. Just as the tongue reveals the condition of the physical system, so the use of the tongue reveals the religious condition. 2. Sympathizing With and Helping Those in Need (v. 27). The widow and orphan are the symbols of helplessness and need. Those who have true plots will visit such and render the necessary aid. 3. Keeping Himself Unspotted From the World (v. 27). The one who has the true life will separate himself from the world. Giving Up Pleasure When we have given up on immediate pleasure for character's sake, we are impressed with how much we have sacrificed Jesus was impressed with how much a man had gained.—Harry Emerson Fosdick. Overcoming We sometimes sing. "The Crowning Day Is Coming." That is true, but remember that coronation in Scripture is associated with overcoming. Charles Inglis.

The Constitution and By-Laws were read, discussed and WE think and no one worries about the colors of the thought. We have some extra trouble to put our thoughts into practice before a prejudice world sometimes, but it will take it if the thought is worthy; even if it turns the thinker down—so think. THE time is about ripe for the Negroes to ask for school on 9th and Cleveland, their children are four or five blocks all around there. If the law or custom for the children to be in the territory of the school; they are legally entitled to a school; this vicinity, because they have to pass from three and four blocks on the other side of the present school on the corner of Ninth and Cleveland to L'Ouverture, which is 8 blocks after they pass this school vicinity and four on the other side make 12 blocks, this is not fair to our children and the matter should be looked into. Let's get busy. BY this time Mr. Bryan has a chance to see the Father for himself and find out whether men should reason Him out of creation or reason Him in on all creation. One thing we like about God's Plans if they are kept they usually, make a better race and a better nation. We have noticed on the other hand where men have become so wise that they put in more time trying to out reason God, they go down, and are soon forgotten. We have noticed another thing about Christians, who throw their whole lives on the altar for the Master, that the further time removes them from us the brighter their deeds shine. God wants you to think but He wants the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts. Leave the Holy Spirit out and if you're not a monkey you are acting "Monkey." "HE has fought a good fight." an truthfully be said concerning the late Dr. S. E. J.

As an Evangelist, and Preacher his equal will be hard to find. He was original, edifying and electrifying in his manner of delivery. The Baptist of America has lot a Pillar, America a Great Citizen and Race one of its main props. We feel happy to commend him back to His Heavenly Father a full ripe soul for the Kingdom.

My Dear Drethorn the time of our Annual Meeting of the Southwest District draweth nigh.
