morrow, will begin the Main Bible

twenty strategic centers throughout

vangt Meetings Draw Crowds To City Churches Revva Progress

ment is vested in the Head, the Re
deemer Of all. Each one must ulti-
mately stand the inspection of the
Head of the Church; for our present
membership in the Body of Christ is
probationary. Loyalty TO the Head of
the Church now will eventually bring
membership in His glorious Body, the
Church beyond the veil.
Let Us, Then, Judge Ourselves.
The Apostles argument is that in
stead of judging fellow-membefs of the
|consecrated Body, we should be full Of
sympathy for them. We do not know
thoroughly their difficulties, their trials,
their environments, their heredities. Our
keen sense of Justice should find its prin-
cipal exercise in self-criticism and in
watchfulness not to do anything to
stumble a brother-to discourage him or
faith.
How many find il easy to excuse their
own weaknesses, while they are very
critical respecting Others shortcomings.
How the Lord warned His people against
such an attitudel Those who are
lhypercritical, and wish to measure
others up TO the full standard of per
fection, are thus recognizing n high
standard; and thus recognizing a high
standards and that recognition will
make it proper for the Lord to measure
them by that high standard. If we
could but remember that the merciful
will obtain mercy, how glad we all
would be TO be extremely merciful to
othersl
aNothing Unclean of Itself"
The Apostle is not referring to filth
ness Of clothing or person, but to foods
which to the jew were made uncere-
monially unclean. While the jew was
forbidden the use of swine, rabbits, oys-
tiers, ETC., these restrictions were inn
posed as tests of his obedience TO God,
Just as the forbidden fruit was there
after unclean to Adam and Eve.
The Apostles argument is that to the
Jew who died to all hope of attaining
eternal life through keeping the Law
Covenant and who became united to
Christ, the restrictions of the Law Cove
nant would no longer be binding And,
of course, TO the Gentle, who never was
unlier the Law Covenant, its restrictions
would have no application when he ac-
cepted Christ
Having stated this broad principle, the
Apostle admits that if any man had his
reasoning faculties 80 twisted on the
subject that he thought himself under
obligations, he would be responsible ac'
cording TO his judgment. For him to
violate his conscience would be to com
init sin, as he would be wrong in doing
what he thought to be wrong, however
Evening journal., 1913-11-08

harmless the matter might be in itself.
But any one realizing his own lib
erty, as the Apostle did. might eat
freely. with out any reproof from his
conscience or in Gods sight But the
brother still in the dark respecting
his liberty should not be urged TO vio-
late his conscience. Rather. the
brother of enlightened mind should
abstain from using his liberty. lest he
tempt his brother to violate his con
science.
The argument OF the Apostle seems
70 be that the brother who Is strong
menetally, morally and physically.
should gladly abstain from whatever
would stumble his brother or anybody
else upon whom he exercises an iniu-
ence. II Christ SO loved the world
as to leave His Heavenly glory to die
for sinners, should not we be glad 10
lay down our lives for the brethren?
And II So should we not be much
more ready TO abstain from the use Of
comparatively trifiing liberties for the
sake Of our weaker brother, for whom
Christ died? This is a strong argu-
ment. Who can deny It?
Let not your good be evil-spoken
Of" Your knowledge, your apprecia-
tion. OF your liberty is a desirable
thing; nevertheless, you should so
govern your exercise OF that liberty
that none will misunderstood
It nor think you an evil-doer.
Rather restrain yourself OF your lib
critics, preserve others from the temp
tation too strong for them, and in
crease your own influence by faith
fully abstaining from everything that
might appear to be an evil in the
sight of others, however right It
might be in your own sight, and how
ever correct your own judgment OF the
Divine Law on the subject might be.
4NOt Meat and Drink
The Apostle adds another argument.
He remarks. For the advantages con-
nected with our membership in the
embryo Kingdom OF God consist not
in the greater privileges and liberties
we have in eating and drinking, but
rather in the righteousness, peace and
joy in the Holy Spirit which are ours
because we are probationary mem
bers of this kingdom class. He who
thus serves Christ is well pleasing To
God and is approved Of men.
Do unto others weaker than your
self what you would have them do for
you II you we're the weaker and they
the stronger.

Romans 14;21. DlaglOtt.
This lesson, perhaps, makes the
strongest appeal of anything in the
Bible in favor Of total abstinence from
the use Of intoxicating liquors. True,
It is addressed only to Christians. as
is the entire New Testament Never
theless, many can appreciate the
argument here; and to many such il
will appeal-not along the highest
Christian lines, but along the lines of
the Golden Rule.
To make a distinction between the
Golden Rule, the acknowledged stand
ard for all mankind, and a Christians
rule Of life will be considered by
many, doubtless, as a distinction with
out a difference. But this is not true.
The Golden Rule is a simple rule Of
justice, which all should follow.
The rule for Christian living, as
taught and exemplified by the Master,
is far more exacting than the Golden
Rule, applicable to all men, Christians
are, of course, subject to the Golden
Rule. but they voluntarily place
themselves under a far more stringent
rule. Their Covenant with the Lord
is that in doing His will--doing
righteousness-they will ever stand
ready to sacrifice even life itself
"NOne of Us Liveth to HIMSELF"
AS for the world, they do live TO
themselves and die to themselves.
Their own personal interests stand
first with them. Only TO Christ and
the Church could these words apply;
for none others have entered into such
a Convenant of self-renunciation, CIV
ig up present privileges and interests
in exchage for a promise Of a spirit
ual life hereafter, in the resurrec-

All these, by the terms of their
covenant, are to live unto the Lord
to do His will and not their own, to
serve Him and not self. to lay down
their lives in fighting against sin. All
these, when they die, will be dying
unto the Lord, in the sense that every
member Of the Body of Christ must
die to the flesh before the entire Body
can be glorified beyond the veil. To
these, therefore, apply the words
whether we live or die, we are the
Lords"
