A ChiIds Fear of Tyranny.

Any person who has made a study
of child's character knows its
liability to fear tyranny. Just as the
severity of a punishment should be
in the ratio of the ofiense, SO it should
also be proportional to the strength
of the child's constitution, its percep-
ton and its power of understanding.
A child often tells it's first lie not
through fear of whipping, but for
fear of the truth offending, because
it was not the truth that wanted
because, in fact, the truth would not
have been believed. Here is another
axiom-always believe child until
it has shown itself unworthy of belief
Trust begets trust. Distrust and
suspicion beget themselves. Some
children are completely cowed by the
mere knowledge of having committed
a fault in anticipation. Such children
have been spoiled, so far as honesty
of purpose is concerned, and very
probably they are towards and DULLES
and sneaks when away from restraint.

international s. S. Lesson for nay 80

I
Christian faith leads to good works,
lanes q: I4-z3, read the whole chap
ter. Golden Text, II will show thee
my faith by my works. James q
1s. Good works are as inevitable to
faith as heat is to fire. The greater
the cause the bigger the result. The
whole Bible teaching is summed up
| in John 2: 1. Don't sin. And the
same verse sums up the teaching OF
the Bible in mans utter helpless
ness to keep the law Of himself, By
providing him an advocate if he
breaks it. Verse 10 Of our lesson
chapter tells us that if a man breaks
one command he is guilty of all.
Kings 8: 10 tells us there is no one
that sinneth not. Rom. 8: IL says
there is none that doeth good, no,
not one. Hence from the impossible
ity OF a life sufficiently righteous to
save a man. comes the necessity OF
the righteous man, the son of God,
who kept the laws in all points; and
whatsoever believeth in Him shall not
perish, John 3; IS. But the belief
must come from the heart, Rom. 10:
o-1o and if so, will produce the fruits
of this lesson, and SO justify man IN
Gods sight, Rom. S: I. There is
doubtless dead faith in many man
not even resulting in the effort to
obedience; unworthy the name. But
on the other hand the morality of an
unbeliever's abomination, see Prov.
X: 8. The best that we can do is
filthy rags, Isa o.: 6, and the effort
to please God by good works, without
faith preceding it, is impossible, Heb.
II: 6. Many man with live faith
and honest effort has demonstrated
the utter impossibility to live good
lie, Kom. y 10. Inc DluiS gives

cept it abide in the vine; no more can
