HEART RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Baptist Young Peoples Union
topic for March is a lesson from the
sermon on the mount, What Christ
Teaches About Heart Righteousness. -
based on Matthew V, 20-48; vi, 1918.
Christianity is a religion of grace,
but this does not mean that it is a re-
ligion Of license. Sin is not to abound
in the Christian life that grace may
much more abound. Christ came not
to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. The
grace of Christ "is not a pardon Of the
past with Indifference as regards the
future. 1t is forgiveness as a founda-
ton and preparation for a new and
better life. More is expected of the
Christian than of the Jew, of the con-
vert than of the sinner
No one realized this fact more than
Christ, and he took particular pains to
lay stress upon it in the sermon on
the mount. He demands a superior
righteousness of His followers to that
of Judaism, what our topic we'll calls
heart righteousness"
The soul and heart should be valued
above any physical organ. Gods spirit
alone can create in us clean hearts and
clean souls. and we should depend
upon Him to keep US in inward right
eouSneSS.

Up to 1873 silver was the standard Of

LOVES PAIN.

'"Tisn't cause she went and left me"
a little girl said by way of explaining
the tears called forth by an older school
mate. Its cause she didn't love me
enough to want me along"
That, perhaps, IS one of life's deepest
Misunderstanding love which falls I'M
valued. Whether it is the little child left
out of the plan and pleasure. or some
older heart grieved and wounded by a
life that is growing away from it, the
pain has always the same root; it is
the hurt of not being loved enough to
be needed. Weakness makes moan,
pride tries to hide the wound, but, how
ever it is met, 1t is the one thing that
Is sure to come In this world where ma
lures so widely differ, and where we
can never, wholly understand. each other
What. then? Return in kind is not
loves only nor its chief compensation;
it is forever worth while for its own
sake. 1t uplifts. ennobles, sanctifies, and
the utmost sorrow that it brings is bet
ter than an untroubled life without it.
Love that asks for love again
$inds the barter naught but pain;
Love that giveth in full store
Aye receives as much and more"
runs the old rhyme. "As much and
more" though it may not be here or
now.

II The annily orunn|

critical character. Close examination
In a great number of cases, extending
over a long period Of time, has demon
strated that in all kinds of business the
rest of one day in seven is Of greatest
advantage and secures larger amount
of work we'll done than Is possible with
any other arrangement.
To secure bodily life time and toll
are needed. Time and toll are needed
to get bread from the natural world.
God suEtains nature and man works
to get food from it. Man and God
meet and cooperate In this physical
realm. 1t IS equally necessary In all
soul life and moral nature that men
draw supplies from the Divine One.
There must be time for this There
must be a period of release from physf-
cal labor and WEAKNESS so that the
mind can rest on the truths of spirit
and cultivate the faculties which can
not get the attention they require in
the ordinary toll of life.
To know God and enter into right
relations with Him in thought, feeling
and will take time. The Sabbath is
needed and is given for this. What
ever best helps one attain this end is
proper for the Sabbath. All that hin
ders the highest realization of this soul
union with God is improper

PAUL AT EPHESUS.

The International Sunday school les
son for March is found in Acts XIX
1920. The date is A. D. 81, and the
place Is Ephesus. The golden tRxt is
the last clause of the seventeenth
verse of the lesson. AS usual Paul be-
gan his work in Ephesus with the Jews
and prOselytes in the synagogue. Re
member that it was here that the Jews
had asked him to stay longer when he
stopped on his way to Jerusalem after
The second journey He evidently inn
pressed them faVorably, and that may
In part account for the fact that he
was able to work with them longer
than usual before the rupture occurred.
He preached in the synagogue three
months. In Ephesus, as on other mis-
sion fields, Paul supported himself by
working at his trade. When Paul final
~ left the synagogue he took a num-
Der who had become Christians with
him. EphesuS, like Athens, had its
scholars and philosophers who taught
PauI work here continued two years
and influenced the whole province of
Asia, for Ephesus was a great com
mercial center, and no better place
could be found from which to spread

was very common among the Jews in
spite of the prohibitions in the Old
Testament These exorcists went about
from place to place, claiming the DOW
er to work miraculous cures, and par
ucularly to cast out the demons which
in those days were supposed to dwell
In those whom today we should call
insane. They used charms of various
kinds and repeated magical sentences
and evidently believed, from what they
had seen of PauPs work, that the name
Jesus was magic word of unusual
power. The experience Of two of the
sons of Sceva, for only two of them
seem to have been connected with this
incident, was rebuke to such super
sttlon not soon to be forgotten.
These magic books, or rolls, made
by hand, of course, have always been
very costly. The pieces of silver were
probably denarii, and the denarius was
the average price of a days work. BY
burning their books the Christians nut

SUNSHINE AND MUSIC.

A laugh is Just like sunshine;
1t freshens all the day,
1t tips the peak of life with light
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears It
And feels it's courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along. 80
A laugh Is just like music;

And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts are crowding
Its joyful notes to greet;
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.
