but while they made ready for him he

Having lodged the strangers over

received them into the visible church.

people especially should read In private
Solomon's fearful pictures Of its re-
suits and be warned against it.
4. Untruth. On nine occasions Solo
mon speaks Of this subject. Dishon-
esty, untruthfulness and deceit In all
forms are denounced. We live in an
age much given to oppOsites OF these
in business, politics and social life.
Solomon's warnings should therefore
be needed.
s. Slothfulness. No writer surpasses
Solomon in denouncing sloth. He pic
lures its results as disappointment de-

6. Intemperance. This Is another
modern curse that Solomon pictures
in its awful final reeuits-its brawls,

This lesson really covers chapters 3
and II, lis, for the whole OF that por-
ton Is devoted to the record OF Peter
and Cornelius. 1t Is the story OF the
reception of the first gentle household
into this new company called the
church. and Peter Is the human instru-
ment In connection with angelic min
istry, vision and 4 special message
from the Spirit. As In the case of
Philip and the eunuch, We see the spe-
cial interest of heaven in q truly seek
ing soul. The last We heard Of Philip
he was at Caesarea, for that was his
home seemingly Chapter viii, 40; xxi,
3, and we cannot but wonder why he
was not used to help Cornelius, but 1t
was neither he nor Paul, the special
apostle to the gentiIes. but Peter, whom
the Lord chose for this service. As
Peter was used to gather the first COM
pany OF Jews. SO he is used to gather
the first gentle. for to him were given
by our Lord the keys Of the kingdom
Of heaven (Matt. xvi. 19). We know
that the church is not the kingdom, but
the present age is the mystery Of the
kingdom" and the church must be
gathered and this age close before the
kingdom can come. .
Cornelius, the centurion, makes US
think Of the one who had such great
faith and also the one who said at the
crucinxion. Truly this was the Son
Of God" (Matt- viii. $40: xvii. 80. II
any man could be saved by character,
as we hear on all sides today, surely
this man could. for consider what Ia
said OF him in verses 2. Z. %, 30, 81.
and yet Peter had to come and tell
him words whereby he and his house.
hold could be saved xxi. 14.) He had
to tell him Of the death and resurrec.
ton of Jesus OF Nazareth aud OF for
giveness OF sins through Him. II a
mans own doings can save him. then
there was no necessity for the suffer
ings Of Jesus Christ az the sinners
substitute, but without the shedding of
blood there is no remission Of sins,
and there is no sacrifice but His by
which sinners can be saved (Heb. tx,
%; Lev. xviii IL; Heb. 1, 5; Acts iv, 12).
Cornelius was truly a devout man and
lived up to the light he had. and to
such God has respect and will some
how send them more light, even though
He must needs employ angelic min.
istry.
One afternoon as he was fasting and
praying a visitor unannounced stood
before him clad in heavenly clothing
and assured him that his prayer was
heard and his aims remembered before
God and that a man in Joppa for
whom he should send would tell him
what he needed to know oversees 3 to G
and 80 to 33). Immediately he sent

Topic.-Lifa lessons for men from the
book Of Proverbs-Prov. wifi, LII. Con-
secration meeting. &..
The book Of Proverbs was written
by Solomon, the son OF King David.
Solomon wrote three books Of the
Scriptures-the Song Of Solomon, prob
ably when he was young: Proverbs
during manhood and Ecclesiastes when
he had reached old age.
A proverb is a short, pithy saying
setting forth moral or spiritual
truth. 1t was peculiarly suited to
Hebrew poetry. which is largely COM
posed Of comparisons and contrasts.
Oriental sages were fond of using the
proverb or parable, which is really a
proverb enlarged. Solomon chose the
proverb in which to express his phi
losophy Of life. The Psalms and the
Proverbs bear an important relation
to each other and express the different
characteristics Of the authors. although
they were father and son. The Psalms
OF David are largely devotional. while
the proverbs are practical. David
lived closer to God than Solomon and
was therefore better qualified than
Solomon to be the psalmist Of Israel.
Solomon. on the other hand, was more
a man Of the world and better under
stood the practical affairs Of men than
his father and was therefore the bet
ter. equipped to be the poet Of prac-
tical admonition. In these facts we
may learn n useful life lesson. Devo-
ton. close living to God in the inward
life, comes first in our lives. but II
should be followed by the practical
application of inward feelings and
principles to the outward life. AS the
Proverbs follow the Psalms. the prac.
teal should follow the devotional.
The book of Proverbs has been d.
vided into three divisions:
First.-Addresses to the young, chap
tiers Xix. -as.
Second.-Addresses. more varied. tc
I all classes. ranks and ages, chapters <
xviy.
Third. Collections Of extant records
made by scribes under the orders OF
King Hezekiah. chapters xxv-xxix
These are also proverbs of Solomon
which the men OF HezekiAh, king Of
Judah. copied OUT prov. XIV. u.
To sum up all the life lessons of thu
book Of Proverbs Is impossible. bu
| some Of the prominent evils agains
which Solomon warns us In various
| parts Of the book are rs follows:
| 1. Filial impiety. The duty Of chill
dren to parents Is emphatically urged
| occupying space in no less than nin'
| passages This duty needs to be EN-
phasixed today. American children
| and young people seem especially ad
dicted to the sin Of filial impiety. Solo
mon condemns 1t and calls upon CHI
dren to reverence, love and obedience
| to parents.
| ?. Evil company. Nothing IL NOR
harmful In life than evil companions
and solomon lays great stress in hi
warnings against 1t.
8. Impurity. The sin OF impurity
