The Pastor urged all who know
themselves to be disciples of Jesus
pupils in the great Teachers School
to keep their hearts right with Goo
and then to do the very best that they
can do. He advised such to see to il
that the body gets the proper disci
pline. The new mind must keep the
body under control. If it was rude t.
somebody, humble it. teach it to bt
meek by saying, You must go and
tell that person that you are sorry fol

declared, this will go against the
grain" but it is better to yield and
thus learn the needed lesson than t.
lose the Kingdom. All such self disci
pine is part of the process of prepare
ton for the Kingdom work.
The standard of character-develop
ment which the Pastor upholds is very
high. He declared that whoever would
be graduated with honors from the
School of Christ must be SO meek, sc
humble. so teachable. so patient. that

from the Master in whatever way He
may see fit to send it-whethe1

any other way. No matter how it

knowledge of the glory of Cod" If it
scatters our darkness. ignorance, su-
perstition. If it brings us out into His
marvellous Light, we may be sure that
God has done it for us, because we
could not have done it for ourselves.
Commencement Day Is Coming.
The Pastor then showed that ulti-
mately two classes will be graduated
will receive very high honors- glory
Immortality, joint-heirship with our
Lord Jesus Christ in His Millennial
Kingdom. The other class will be
servants of God and will serve Him
by rendering assistance to the King
dom class. Under another figure these
classes are designated in Psalm 40 as
"the Kings daughter and 1.-THE vir-
gins, her companions, that follow her."
The speaker next showed why there
are to be these two classes and what
has made the difference between them.
The first class is constituted of those
pupils that are so intent upon learning
their lessons and of being graduated
with honors that they not only study
carefully their text book, the Word of
God, but they watch the Lords eye, as
1t were, bent upon seeing what is His
viii concerning them. To these He
has given the precious promise. Il will
guide thee with Mine eye" Their re-
ply Is, las the eyes of servants look
unto the hand of their masters. and as
the eyes of maiden unto the hand of
her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the
Lord our God, until that He have mer-
cy upon us."-Psalm 1882.
The thought is that this class are all
attention to see what they can render
to the Lord, watching to see what He
wishes them to do. They do not wait
until He disciplines them severely.
This Little Flock class will be com
posed Of such as can be guided by the
will Of the Lord, such as are so anx-
ious to do His will, so alert. so will
ing, to do anything they can do at

themselves. Those who possess this
spirit will be of the first class to be
graduated from the School of Christ
The second class to be graduated will
be very large in number, the Pastor
said 1t will consist Of those pupils
who are rather slow, and who busy
themselves with unimportant things.
In figurative language. they are inclin-
ed to play during study hours and to
forget the rules. Yet they are neither
bad nor unruly. They are well-inten-
toned pupils. but somehow they do not
properly study their lessons They are
inclined to study little. then play a

after school frequently, and occasion
ally need little switching But they
finally finish their course and are grad
uated.
Dropping the figure of the school
room, the Pastor discussed this second
class for a time. These, he declared
will not be ON the Throne, as viii the
Little Flock class. Instead of wearing
golden crowns, this Great Company
will have palm branches In their hands;
instead of receiving the Divine nature,
they will be of spirit nature like unto
the angels. But their condition will be
very blessed, for anything which the
Master has to give will be good.
This class, the speaker said, will be
composed of very good people, we'll
meaning people; but they are not up
to the standard which the Lord desires
for the Kingdom class. Whoever
would be of the highest class should
see to it that he reaches that standard.
Those who will get the first place are
those who catch the spirit Of the Mas
ter and are loyal to Him and His
cause, thus proving themselves to be
worthy of His love As He has said
"He that loveth father or mother more
than Me is not worthy of Me. And he
that taketh not his cross and followeth
after Me, is not worthy of Me-"
After Commencement-Wh
The Pastor then declared that &C.
cording to the Scriptures we are on the
eve of a great change of dispensation,
that the One who redeemed the world
is about to take His great power and
reign. Those pupils in the School of
Christ who are most attentive to the
Masters voice speaking through the
Word of God are hearing wonderful
things pertaining to Gods Plan Of sal
yatien. Those who are obedient to
what they hear are getting clearer
