His power was due to His perfect

His knowledge of His truth and mission

Permanent Principles.

In the last FIVE lessons Christ empha-
sized some permanent principles of the
Christian life. In the eighth study Jesus
showed His followers that they should
fear God alone. If we had the faith that
Christ desired His disciples to possess
then we would trust God under all cir
cumstances and prove our faith by stand
ing for Him even when our bread and but
ter are involved. This will enable us 10
give God first place and to put our trust
in Him. rather than, like the rich fool of
the ninth lesson, in gold We are not 10
but for the glory of God and so that they
will benefit humanity.
In the tenth lesson Jesus placed en-
phasis upon our duty to be always watch
ing. waiting and working TO hasten His
return as preventive from doing evil and
a protection against the dangers that con-
stantly beset us. In the eleventh study
Jesus showed US how we should use
properly the Sabbath day by deeds of
compassion and in the worship of God.

The Social Life.

In eliminating the contagion of evil
they establish contagion of good.
Every home made healthier, brighter
and purer touches other homes, and
the good influence spreads through the
social fabric of the community. No
other power aside from missions has
ever transformed a community or a
people from savagery to civilization.
Many such transformations have taken
place in both the nearer and farther
orient. In Africa, China, Japan,
Korea and the Fiji Islands many thou
sand homes have been lifted from deg
relation to comparative serenity and
peace, and the surrounding social con-
ditions vastly improved, and all
through the initiative and helpful
hand of missions.

and mission. but that of man. He knew
human nature the knowledge of which
was just as essential to teacher then is
it is today. Jesus knew men better than
man knew himself. Frequently He
showed this in His personal work with
the disciples and in His controversies
with His opponents.
Christ a master of the Scriptures.
He understood the letter and spirit of
the law. He stripped the traditions of
the ecclesiastcs from the Old Testament
and showed how He came to fulfill the
promise of the prophets and the hope OF
Israel in His Interpretation of their writ
ings. He proved that they bore test-
mony of Him and contained the germ OF
His gospel.
Jesus understood the people with whom
He labored and taught. He knew their
affairs of government, manners, and Gus
toms, methods of business the history
of their country, current events, as vel
as their religious opinions. His par
ables prove that He was close student
of nature, and His effective use of His
knowledge of nature in teaching spiritual
truths was one of the elements of His
power. But the real power of Christ was
His holy life. free from sin. filled with
love for men and crowded with efforts
to do good. The life of the teacher
backed up His teachings. The lessons
of the quarter illustrate not only His
methods message and motives as a
teacher. but they point out also how the
spiritual life finds expression in social
service.
