EETEF ANALYSIS OF LESSON.
+ The Need Of the HOur.-Ns. 10, IL.
f we notice the structure Of the main
3odv Of this letter, we shall find that il
consists Of two great divisions. The first
three chapters are doctrinal, laying
down great principles and truths; thel
last three chapters are full Of practical
precepts for daily life. The standard
and aim is given 4:13: "a perfect man
unto: the measure of the stature Of the
fulness of Christ" Details of the pic
ture are given with fulness. The Chris
ian must be loving, humble, a new
man, truthful, honest, unselfsh, tender
hearted, full of the fruits Of the Spirit,
Astounding in home virtues, free from
uncleanness, covetousness, bitterness,
evil speaking, pride.
10. FINALLY, be strong in the Lord"
This strength must be the internal
strengthening principle in you. The
strength that alone is stronger than
the world is strength from above,
strength in the Lord. 1t comes by faith,
a faith that takes hold upon the I'M
seen, that communes with Heaven, that
leans upon the eternal promises, that
endures as seeing Him who is invis-
ible''

Gus to underrate an enemy.

in its essence, is single-handed strug-
gle in wrestling, in which each for him
self is attacked. Not against flesh and
blood:" It is spiritual warfare on the
battle field Of the heart. "But against
principalities, against powers:" The
word is used to express the united, con-
trolling, mighty influences against
which the Christian has to contend.

lous escape from the bite of the viper
would direct the attention of Publlus
to Paul as q remarkable man; and Paul
repaid his kindness by restoring his
father to health. "And prayed" To
obtain the blessings from God. with
the wisdom needed, and to show the
people that all his power came from the
same God whose Gospel he preached.
"And laid his hands on him." It is re-
markable, that so soon after the ''tak-
ing up of serpents," we should read of
Paul having laid his hands on the sick
and they recovered' (see the two in
close connection, Mark 16:1s). 'And
healed him." ST. Luke was a ply
sician, but his skill was less effectual
than the agency of st. Paul, who went
into the sick mans chamber. prayed
by his bedside, laid his hands on him
and healed him.
