The Novel Of Religion.

/ heard long ago Of am enterprising
tradesman who desired to have the Old
Testament at least broken into a series
Of romanoes. By others, very likely
much less pious mep, no version of these
narratives can be tolerated except the
ancient original versions Yet many
readers or hearers are so familiar with
these, or think themselves so familiar
(they would probably break down under
examination}, that something more
"spicy" is required by them / have
read an American novel about the love
affairs of Judas Iscariot and Mary Mag
dalene. 1t did not interest me, own,
but it did make me laugh Probably d
more pious student would have been
edited There is no accounting for
tastes. Perhaps no Biblical novel has
ever won critical applause or been reck-
oned a piece of literature. But such
novels hit a large class of readers whose
tastes in other matters is not always
bad.
1t would be interesting to know what
the wits and critics If the restoration
thought and said about "The Pilgrim S
Progress Probably they never looked
into the cheap little book at all, the
book which has outlived Etberege and
Sedley and Rochester and the rest Of
them. OF course it does not BY any
means follow that every religious novel

things and neglected by critics il On a

women are inclining to bracelets once
more. This seems not improbable. The
decree has gone forth that sleeves are to
be scarcely below the elbow. This being
true there is d considerable expanse left

always worn. In any case bracelets are
cheaper than gloves, and women. though

Gal ii, 10, 20s v, 22-25
1. A living Christ (Gal ii, 19, 2O).
Christ may be said to be a living Christ
In two senses He lives in Himself
Though having died. yet He still hvcs
at the right hand Of God, having risen
from the grave and assembled into
heaven, where He liveth evermore But
Christ also lives in those who are His
4 followers. Paul states this fact in the
first topical reference: III am crucifed
with Christ. Nevertheless l live, yet
not /, but Christ liveth in me. " or. as
the American revisers more correctly
put it, land it is no longer / that live,
but Christ liveth in me Christ living
in usl This j. true Christianity. We die
that we may live. We are crucifed to
self, but rise to Christ We give our
selves up entirely to Christ, 90 that the
ruling power in us is no longer self, but
Christ. We cruelty the old self, and yet
we do not die New energies spring up
from the grave Of the old life. This new
life is Christ's life. 1t derives its power
and its support from Him, and it j.
fashioned and patterned after the model
of His own life.
This life Paul says il lived by faith.
The life that now live in the flesh I
live by the faith Of t9 Son of God. 1" It
was Paul's faith in the Son Of God that
made him able to destroy his old self
and to become the ruling principle in
his life. If we want Christ to live in
us, we must have faith in Him. 1t IL
by faith alone that we can be crucifed
with Him, can die to self and live no
longer but Christ live in H.
2. Christlike living (GaL ', 22-25).
In these verses Paul sets forth some Of
the characteristics Of true ChristIike
living, as it may be called /. Christ
like living should bear fruit The
fruit Of the Spirit j. love, joy, peace,
long suffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance" If the
Spirit Of Christ dwells in Us, it will
produce results. Every branch that
abideth in Him bringeth forth fruit
This may be made test Of Christ's
living In BY their fruits ye shall
know them" Do our lives prove that
Christ, by His Spirit, dwells in us? This
is an important question for US to con
slider. A living Christ in us viii pro-
duce Christlike life. 1t could not be
otherwise q "A Christlike life il devoid
Of self. We have crucified the flesh with
its affections and iusts if Christ lives in
Us. This il another test Of Christ's liv-
ing in us. g. A Christlike life requires
obedience. If we live in the Spirit, let
US walk in the Spirit [" Christ in I'D

cruelty our sinful desires, but lead as
to obey the laws Of God. We Gle to sin
