A SANE FOURTH OF JULY. |
BY GRAHAM r. TAYLOR. !

AYOR MAGEE. of Pittsburg. who
lVE invited .he mayors of cities of
over 5000 people to send repre-
sentatives to the Play Congress. pre-
sided at a meeting IN the interests of
a saner Fourth Of July. Perhaps the
most interesting report came from
Springfield. Mass. One of the five dele
gates from that city, William Orr, toll
of the success hat has come through
doing more than merely expressing
abuses by providing a festival program
which last year enlisted the enthusiastic
interest of the whole population. Seven
years ago the movement was initiated
by the city government and for each
celebration arrangements are planned
by a citizens committee. The big fea-
ture of the day is a parade in which
many organizations participate. OF
especial interest is a series of floats
representing the achievements of vari-
Gus races dwelling in the city. How
unifying this celebration is may be APP
p%reciated by the significant fact that
the Englishmen of Springfield took part
in this sort of an Independence Day,
contributing a loaf with a Representa-
ton of the signing of the Magma Char
ia by King John. Another interesting
Instance of cooperation was a contribu-
ton of fireworks by Chinese citizens for
n of the large evening Nominations.

The first missionary tour OF the
twelve apostles was strictly home

to the Jews only, as the day for the
Offering Of the gospel to the gentiles
had not yet come. Christ's command
to them was. Into any city Of the Sa-
maritans enter ye not, but go rather to
the lost sheep Of the house Of Israel"
But Of what they did we have little
knowledge, but their later lives were
heroic in missionary endeavor.
America does not want for heroes Of

tied by Christian people who preached
the gospel to the native Indians and
subsequently to the unevangelized
people who lived within our borders.

Roxbury. His incessant labors were
crowned with success. He gathered
his converts into towns and established
schools and civilized industries. The
towns were known as Indian praying

In our last lesson We had good ad-
dress from James at the council Of
on m important subject. Now We are
to have two lessons from his epistle-
There are no contradictions In the
Scriptures, for the one Holy Spirit
wrote the whole book. and He cannot
contradict Himself. II the writers {the
human aEenciesp seem not quite to
agree. IL is because they are talking OF
different aspects Of the same topic.
Paul and Peter and James and John
are in perfect accord on salvation BY
faith alone. then good works or q COZ
sistent life as the evidence Of faith be-
fore men and then the glory and the
reward according to our works. In
James. outside the lesson for today. see
the new birth by the word OF God, rs
plainly as Peter or John put 1t. In
chapter 1. Is. See the kingdom and
the coming Of Christ In chapters Ii. s.:
W. s. Rut the burden Of James letter
is the second aspect OF salvation. the
bearing and the doing to the glory OF
God because we are saved.
The first verse In our lesson asks
what benefit can there be In faith
that Is q mere SAY 50" or word Of
mouth. See how strong John Is on
| that point: HE that saith know
Him and keepeth not His command
| ments Is a liar" III a man say love
God and hateth his brother he Is q
liar" Il John Il. 4: ". 20,. The same
teaching Is In lisa. XIX, Is; Eek.
xxxiii, 81. and from our Lord Himself
in Matt. Nv. s. Behold the Divine
unity Of Scripture. No amount Of mere
''say SOS" can save any one. 1t Is
with the heart that man beiieveth
unto Righteousness" (Rom. Z, 10
Mere talk will never feed nor clothe
any one: therefore John says. Let as
not love IN word nor in tongue. but In
deed and In truth" A living faith must
show itself in works. and. II there ar<
NO works as the evidence before mer
Of the faith we profess to have. then Il
is, as James says. a dead faith. simply
