sinking TRANQUILITY to the dust, as
great trees sometimes do. Many

thoughtfully.

Katie did not flush with pleasure

surprised herself by studying the

ter, in the resurrection.
These are to live to the Lord-tO do
His will and not their own, to serge
Him and not self to lay down their
lives in fighting against sin. When
these die, they die 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.
The Apostle proceeds to show that
all judgment Is vested In the Redeem
er. Each member Of the Church must
ultimately stand the inspection of the
Head of the Church. Loyalty to the
Head of the Church will eventually
bring membership in the glorious
Church beyond the veil.
Let Us, Then, Judge Ourselves.
The Apostles argument is, that in
stead Of judging fellow-members Of
the consecrated Body of Christ, we
should be full of sympathy for them.
We do not know thoroughly their tri-
ais and difficulties. Our keen sense Of
justice should find its principal exer-
else in self-criticism and in watchful-
ness not to do anything that would
stumble a brother or discourage him
or cause him to fall away from the
faith.
How many find it easy to excuse
self, while they are very critical re-
specting others shortcomings! Our
Lord warned His people against such
an attitude, saying, ''With what judg-
ment We judge, We shall be judged"
If you are hypercritical and wish to
measure others up to the full standard
of perfection, the Lord will properly
measure you by that high standard.
The Lord does not wish His people
to think lightly of weaknesses and fail
ures. He is, on the contrary, setting a
high standard of love, sympathy and
kindness. Love is the principal thing,
in Gods sight.
"Nothing Unclean Of Itself"
While the Jew was forbidden the use
Of swine, rabbits, oysters, ETC., these
restrictions were tests Of his obedience
to God; just as the forbidden fruit was
thereafter unclean to Adam and Eve
The Apostles argument is that to the
Jew who died to all hope Of attaining
eternal life through the Law Covenant
and who became united to Christ, the
restrictions of the Law Covenant
would no longer be binding, And, Of
course, to the Gentle, who never was
under the Law Covenant, its restric-
tons would have no application when
he accepted Christ.
But if any mans reasoning faculties
were so twisted that he thought him
