point of view and the medium from and
through which We see and decide nnely
illustrated.
The reasons for being sotsr-minded
were next presented, and the dangers con-
fronting us in these days of false en-
thusiasm especially. He went on 10 say
that the Bible not only commands, but
points the way. and that a noble mind
would train itself I'm self-restraint and
willing obedience TO the Law. and would
seek first the kingdom OF God and His
righteousness. and by the help of God
would become sober-minded and ablV 10
