with honors that they not only study
carefully their text book, the Word of
God, but they watch the Lords eye, as
it were, bent upon seeing what is His
will concerning them. To these He
has given the precious promise, II will
guide thee with Mine eye" Their re-
ply is, "As the eyes Of servants look
unto the hand of their masters, and as
the eyes Of a maiden unto the hand OF
her mistress, 80 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 discfpiines them severely.
This Little Flock class will be com-
posed Of such as al be guided by the
will of the Lord, such as are so anx-
aous to do His will, SO alert, so will
ing, to do anything they can do at
any time He may choose, as to bo
instant ~in4season, out Of season." to
themselves Those who possess this
spirit win 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. It will consist Of those pupils
who are rather slow, and, who busy
themselves with unimporfant things.
In f~gurattve language, they are incltn-
ed to play during study hours and to
forget the rules. Yet they are neither
bad nor unruly. They are wel-inten-
toned pupils, but somehow they do not
properly study theirlessons. They ara
inclined to study a little, then play a
little, then study q little more, etc.
These pupils require to be kept in"
after school frequently, and occasion
ally need a little switching. But they
finally finish theirEcourse 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 will 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 a 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 1t 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 Ne Is not worthy Of Me. And he
that taketh not his cross and followeth
! after Me, is not worthy Of Me-"
After Commeneement-What?
The Pastor then declared that &C
cord1ng to the Scriptures we are on the
eve of q 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
vation. Those who are obedient to
D what they hear are getting a clearer
; understanding in proportion TO their
L obedience. Those who are inattent1ve
and those who refuse to hear viii not
. understand. but will surely suffer in
|! the coming Time of Trouble-"such as
a never was since there was a nation;

i By way Of conclusion, the Pastor
, exhorted all consecrated Christians to
greater earnestness In striving to
. make their calling and election sure.
He reminded such that they were not
u called merely to make a conservation.
but to enter the School of Christ, to
. learn of the Master, to be taught by
Him, in order to be developed in heart
