II. The flesh lusteth against the SPIRIT: the
two arc antagonistic. Each seeks to control
the man, and be supreme. One or the other
rules in every soul.
II. The Works Of tho Flesh VS., 1921,
The works Of the flesh here named are II
in number. 1. They proceed from o
wrong heart. They are streams which
flow from an impure fountain. O. They are
social. No one Of them exists alone. Where
one hourishes, others are likely to flourish
8. The seeds or possibilities Of these sins
are in every person. 4. These works of the
flesh arc diametrically opposed to the prin-
cipies OF Gods kingdom, the principles
which make Heaven the holy and happy
place 1t is. Therefore, those who do these
evils can not enter the kingdom. s. Every
one Of these evils Is promoted and encour-
aged by the use of intoxicating LIQUORS.
lntemperance excites every evil passion,
erorses wrath and hatred, leads to murders,

produces more idleness, crime, want and

III. the FRUITS OF THE SpIRIT-Vs. 22.98,
Nine fruits Of the Spirit are named hera
They are called fruits Of the Spirit: (1) be-
cause they are the qualities which
are planted by the Holy Spirit, and
thrive under His influence; (2) be-
cause they are the result Of exalting
the Spirit over the body, making reason and
conscience rulers over the sensual tendcu.
denotes Of the body. l. The Holy Spirit
gives US the new heart which is the foun.
tain and source Of all good deeds and words,
2. The fruits Of the Spirit are social. They
like to go together. Wherever you fnd one
you will find others. Each one strengthens
the other. 8. They oil tend to make the pos
SCISSOR happy and useful. 4. These are the
qualities which make Heaven. Only by
cherishing these qualities can we belong to
the kingdom Of Heaven. g. They are equal
ly good for earth, and will bring the heaven
ly atmosphere to earth. Q. Temperance
promotes all these qualities. It encourages
every good. z The way to keep out intem-
perance is to I'LL the soul and the community
full Of these good fruits.
CoANENrs-Our lesson speaks, in verse
20, about those who have woe and sorrow
and contentious and various other evils.
