TEMPERANCE LEssoN-GA1. 5: 1926.
IL, This say then, Walk IN the Spirit, and
ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
u For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
ana the Spirit against the flesh; and these are
contrary the one to the other; 80 that We can
not do the things that ye would.
IL. But if We be led of the Spirit We are.
not under the law.
IS! Now the works of the flesh are mani
fest which are these; adultery. fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness
~ ldolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations wrath, strife, solutions, heresies.
II. Envyings, murdera drunkenness, revel--
ings, and such like; of the which tell you.,
before, as have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not in.
herit the kingdom Of God.
~ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joyy
peace, long suffering, gentlenesss, goodness.
q. Weakness. temperance: against such
there is no law.
q And they that are Christ's have cruoi-.
fed the flesh with the affections and lusts.
70 II we live in the Spirit, let us also walk
in the Spirit
26. Let us not be DESTROYS of vaing!ory.
provoking one another, envying one another.
LESSON PARAGRAPHS.
The lesson speaks in reality of two spirits
the spirit of this world, and the spirit of
Christ These two are at deadly enmitY. The
spirit of the world strixeth against the spirit
of the kingdom, as verse II signifies, the one
graphing with the other. 1t is vivid picture
of the great soul conflict.
"a The aim Of the world is to overcome the
spirit of good This IS, the meaning Accord
ing to proper translation of the last part of

things that We would of such conflict of

l. Why do the heather rage, and the peo-
pie imagine a vain thing?
2. The kings of the earth set themselves.
and the rulers take counsel together, against
the Lord aud against his Anointed, saying,

cast away their cords from u.s..
4. He that sitteth in the: heavens shall

6. Yet have 1 set my King upon my holy
hill of Zion.
z. will declare the decree: the Lord hath

S. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
heather for thine inheritance, and the utter
most parts of the earth for thy possession
Thou shalt break them with rod of
iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a
potter's vessel
LESSON PARAGRAPHS
The prophet paints here moving picture.
From. his place of calm trust he looks out up
on the vain heather world with mingled feel
ings of Indignation and pity. Why do. tho
hearhen rage? is the common version. More
graphically: "For whas is all this running to.
aud fro, this whispering of vanity and .want-
tonness?" Such seems to be the full mean
ing of the original Kings, nations, peoples.
ALL they seem, in The exalted view of the seer,
as handful of witless children playing t.se-
dltion What more are they?
Poor creatures Of the dust, rebelling against
the Lord and against his anointed. PullJc and
pitiful they look, laying weak bands on, the
iron bands and cords Of the great Potsntate.
There was an :ncipient panic ils.a, large. place
, of assembly. Amadman had arisen. in the
gallery and. laying hold of ol.e of the pillars,
was crying out that he would pull the tnild-
ing down. sI.et him try!" called qpicx-wit-
ted woman from the floor hslow, pointing to
the great heavy columns, and q.let was at
once restored.
