Morning text, Romans 4:7-"For
none of us liveth to. himself, and no mar
disth to himself. For whether we live
we 1--we unto the Llrd and whether We
die we die unto the Lord. Whether We
live therefore or die wa are the Lords
One Of the most important facts dis.
covered in our modern age is that al
force is correlated, That heat, electric
ity, light, motion, sound. all these are
forms of force, correlated to each other,
easily transformed the one into the other

volve. That is transformed by skillfnl
m%echanism into friction, magnetism, an
~eleotric current, light. All these things
are correlated, depending n upon an
other, and lending their energies each to
each.
Following this idea into the world OF
vegetable and animal life we find q
similar Law OF correlation. Vegetable
life OF n sort depends upon other
vegetable life for its existence. But the
most remarkable instance of correlation
perhaps is that between the vegetable
and animal world, in the matter of fer
tilizstlon. some plants could meyer
fertilize their own seed without the help
OF bees and insects. So in the animal
world, all things living are correlated,
depending one upon another for exist
ence.
In the physical world and orgsnic
world both, it is true that no one liveth
to himself and no one dleth to himself;
but not until we come into the realm OF
fectiy carried out. The business world
is q most complete unit. In these days,
more than eve before, the entire fabric
OF society is linked and woven together
so closely that no disturbing element in
one portion of human society fails to
have It's important results in every por-
tion. More and more the whole world is
coming to see and feel hinship. We
cannot as a nation live unto ourselves if
we would. No matter how quiet or retired
the life of any person, still il is true that
that person cannot live unto himself.
His life has an effect on all about him.
This correlation OF life-this dependence
of one upon another, makes our lives far
more important than they otherwise
would be. And it ought to be aver the
anxious thought OF our lives how we caa
as men and women, profoundly affecting
al, around us, SO live as to help others,
The burden OF Christ's teaching is how
to liye we'll here. The burden of the new
testament is righteousness. Jesus Christ
comes to teach men to obey conscience.
And the righteousness is not primarily
for The benefit of the individual himself,
but because he lives in a society of men
and women who are going to be blessed
by his righteousness or cursed by his sin.
Ohrist's command is, "Love n another
as 1 have loved you," which means that

and help. What greater ambition can
any man have than to do good to every.
body about him. and not be weary in
we'll doing. How o mans life is trans

The evening discourse was the third
on the life OF the Apostle Paul. from
Acts 9:s0-"And straightway he preach
ed CHRIST in the synagogpes, that he is
the Son of God"
In the Introductory part of the dis
course reference was made to the with.
drswal of the great apostle TO Arabia
where he remained for some time and
where he received the inspiration for his
life work. Incidents connected with bis
return 20 Damascus and his first visit to
Jerusalem after lis conversion were also
given. Paul spent about five years in
Tarsus when he was called to O larger
work. The psstorate OF a single home
missionary church was to be exchanged
for the wide field of the missionary.
Paul and Barnabus labored together in
Antioch for @ year and taught mnltltudeR
OF people. At the end of Paul's year of
service in Antioch q famine occurred in
Judea and the christians at Antioch took
up q special collection for the christians

with the relief to Jerusalem. It cannot
be too much insisted upon that mission
AIRY work at home. abroad, everywhere,
is the true work of the church. The
church that lives for itself, that never
interests itself in the regions beyond its
own limits, has not the spirit of Christ
and must die. After distributing to the
necessities OF the poor Paul and Barna.

them q young disciple-the talented
author OF the second gospel-John whose
surname was Mark. The following hints
