Therefore, my beloved brethren be We

1.-THE testimony of st. Paul as to
Jesus is remarkable and peculiar. st.
Paul knew Christ only as the risen
| Christ. He had not followed him as
| had the others, through the course of
His life among men. He met the Savior
first as He was going to Damascus to
persecute His followers, and he never
got away from the brightness and the
beauty of the risen Lord. He claims to
have never been taught by man and to
| have learned what he knew of the gos-
pei from Christ himself, SO that when
we read Paul's epistles we know that
they are not merely his own testimony,
but Christ's own.
He prays us to be unmovable. How
sadly is this warning needed in the
present day. How many come forward,
year after year. and pledge themselves
to be followers of the Lamb and SOL
dfers of the cross. How easily they are
moved aside by the seductions of the
flesh and the short lived pleasures of
sin.

always Astounding in the work of the
Lord. For many years I was puzzled
over the seeming contradiction of the
teaching of the Scriptures on the sub
iect of works. 1t confused and worried
me for an exceedingly long time. There
are constant urgings to men to repent;
to keep the commandments; to serve
and glorify the Master, as il eternal life

then, reconcile these two things? I
think that we have swung so far away
from the false teaching Of the middle
ages that salvation depends upon our
works; l say, we have swung so far
from that view to the other one-the
belief in free salvation by Christ-that
too many seem to think works Of little
consequence.
According to the works which we do
as right and save men, and not in our
selves, shall we be made righteous. ]
would have you always remember that
the works of righteousness which. we do
as His children have merit in the sight
of God. Is it possible for a soul
to be saved and yet suffer a loss in
heaven? We know not but we do know
that the unworking Christian is an an
omaly, a contradiction, something out
Of place.
Works are valuable, my brethren.
They have a place in our faith-not
works for salvation, but works because
we are saved, and because we wish to
