Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1914-06-11

Set IL 10 unQer-
stand the Masters
teachings. In our busy day few have
time to study as they could wish. To
oil such the .Photo-Drama seems to
supply a long, felt want.
The Pastor began with the state
ment that there is only one way to get
rid of sin-belief in the Lord Jesus
Christ. But mere intellectual belief
does not accomplish this result. Who
ever believes truly will make a full
conservation of himself to God. From
the Scriptural standpoint a believer is
a disciple, a pupil.
The School of Christ is not open to
everybody, the speaker declared. The
whole world are not in that School.
There is but one definite way of en-
tering it. Hear the Masters own
words: IF any man will come after
Me, let him deny himself, take up his
cross and follow Me-" Only those are
enrolled in the Masters School who
present their bodies a living sacrifice.
holy and acceptable to God through
the imputed merit of the Redeemer.
The Primary Lesson.
Those enrolled in the School of
Christ, the Pastor said, are taught a
variety of lessons, of which the first
is Observation-Disclosures. Probably
there is a greater lack along this line
than any ether. ~Self-conceit and self
will are qualities which prevent their
possessors from being teachable.
Other lessons are taught in this
unique School. Next in order are hui
miltty, gentleness, patience, long-suf-
fering and Observation-Disclosures rThes
are characteristics Of the Lords Spirit.
Whoever is devoid of these qualities
which go to make up love must ac-
quire them if he would be graduated
from the Masters School.
Then, lest any should be discourage
ed, the speaker explained that the flesh
of some who are really overcomers
may e compare favorably with
that of some who naturally possess
these desirable qualities; but that they
must have these characteristics of the
Lords Spirit in their minds, in their
wills; for the Lord will Judge them
by their desires, their endeayors, their
efforts. Whoever will be of the King
dom class must be meek and gentle.
How These Lessons Are Learned.
Then the Pastor illustrated the meth
DDS by which the Master teaches His
to acquire these graces OF the
Holy Spirit. If a disciple does some
thing wrong, he must be meek enough
to sc to the person injured and ac-
knowledge his fault. re he has been
rude, he must offer suitable apologies.
Such discipline is good for unruiy pu-
pills. So by their difficulties the pupils
the School Of Christ learn the re-
quired lessons, II not In one way, then
In another; for learn they must.
If the Lord finds that the pupils
mind is meek, humble, patient, gentle,
loving. He will make allowance for
the faults of the body, and in the resur-
rection will give that pupil a body
which will carry out the Intentions Of
the new mind. Therefore all in the
School of Christ should keep their
hearts right with God, and do their
very best to keep the body under the
control of the new mind. All such
self-disctpline is part OF the prepara-
tion for the Kingdom work.
The standard of character-deyelop-
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, hum
BILE, patient, that be will be ready to
receive the Masters instructions ia
whatever way He may send them. No
matter how it comes, he asserted, lie
any experience brings us knowledge of
God, Il 1t scatters our darkness, igno-
rance, superstition, we may be sure
that the Master has done 1t.
Commencement Day Is Coming.
The Pastor showed that two classes
VIII be graduated from this School.
One will receive the highest honors-
glory, immortality, joint-heirship with
Christin His MillenniaI Kingdom The
other class will be servants Of God on
the spirit plane, and win assigI the
Kingdom class. All incorTigibie i
pills will pass into the Second Death:
AZ conclusion he exhorted all the i
secrated to greater earlestness Al
learning Gods Will and Id developing
the characterlikeness of their Lord
To accomplish this result, they m
receive blow after blow, experience
after experience, trlal after trial. But
tosall who are rightly exercised by this
discipline the blessed result win ~
