Through the grace OF God bore al for
Christs sake. This was not easy for
Paul, for naturally and BY right of
birth he was OF the arfstrocracy and
to man of his high spirits and won-
|derful ability It could only be by the
power and grace of God that he was
able to humble himself and become
the true follower of Christ, yet how
he did it, and thus he
could truly say, "whenI am weak then
am strong Not weak TO the lower
things OF life but on the contrary
weak, or more properly speaking,
humble to the glorious Divinity of
Christ IN whom Paul cav his own un-
wortAiness. Thus the man who
boasts of himself should think of Paul
who for the sake of Christ WAS truly
humble. That person is truly humb q
who sees the real greatness in anoth-
er soul just above him. Coming In
contact with the great Master should
make any worthy heart humble. Christ
was the one truly Divine and hamble
One. See Him as he ministers to the
poor, sick and needy, no one Is too
low for Christ to come to him and
minister to his wants. The political
leaders or bosses, may never be
Christians, yet in one act at least
they so long way toward Christ
ian life, they are liberal. Though it
may be in a saloon yet they give and
by this very fact win a larger force
to their side. The advancement OF
Christianity and the promotion of the.
Kingdom of God will be helped forward
a long way when the church member,
in a truly humble, Christ-like spirit,
goes to work in Christ's mission field.
In our own town he must not only
talk about whom he wants tor mayor
but he must get out and work for the
right man. .-.' +
