MISS BL9DGETTs BIBLE CLASS.
Tho subiect of the Present Lessons is The Life
Of Christ

Miss Blodgctt. in the beginning of the
lesson said there was the greatest differ
ence between knowing about Christ ana
knowing Christ. Her chief desire was to
helm the class to a nearer, more per-
sonal knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Gospels teacn us what God Him
self is. Christ came to reveal the Father
and only though Christ is Gods love and
mercy made known unto the world.
In modern literature the life of Christ
is magnifed. but the life of Christ can
save no one. It is His DEATH and death
alone that can save from sin. Without
the shedding of blood there is no re-
mission of sin
The life of Christ cannot be initiated.
If one. without training or skill was
asked to copy one of RaphaeIs great
master pieces. would not the task be
hopeless indeed? But If the great paint
or could say, Il will put my spirit in you
and guide your hand" how different the
task would become God wants the life
of Christ reproduced in His children.
There is to be TO counterfeit The spirit
of Christ, if given full power will work
in you, both to will and to do of His
good pleasure.
Questions asked in regard to Gods will
are not always wrong, but when asked IN
faith bring great blessings.
The eighteen years of Christs life spent
in Nazareth were years Of ObscuTity. in
them He was subject to His parents,
learned to work as a carpenter, and led
a quiet, faithful industrious life. At the
river Jordan, before He entered upon
His public life the Heavenly Father,
speaking from Heaven said: This is my
beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased.
With what was God pleased? Not the
public life of Christ, for that had not
begun. but with the quiet, dutifuI home
life such as Our Lord will help all to
lead who will receive His spirit and be
taught of Him.
The next lesson will be held this af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock.
