Last weeks lesson referred to Paurs
preaching in Galatia, where. according
to Lightfoot. Paul carried for the first
time the gospel to "ah alien people diff
fering widely in character and habits
from the surrounding nations" Gala
tia. a district in the central portion Of
the peninsula of Asia Minor, was in
habited by tribes Of Gauls. whose CAL
lie blood made them members Of the
same great stock to which the Irish
and the northern French OF the present
day belong. They had the same faults
and the same virtues that characterize
modern Celts."
Paul sent this epistle to the Galatians
to correct not only some of their faults.
but also to counteract the influence OF
the Judaistic party. who had dispar-
aged Paul personally and tried to dis
credit his teaching among the Galatian
churches Perhaps no other epistle Of
Pauis has Influenced Christian thought
more profoundly than this letter. which
furnished Luther with the pivotal doc
trine of the German reformation.
The portion selected for this weeks
study is part of the ethical applica-
tion of the Christian principles to their
social and church life. 1t was not
Of intemperance. yet 1t embodies prin-
ciples that ought to be applied in car

the saving of the drunkard for society.
The hardest of all tasks grows out OF
the weakness of a brother who has
been detected in his fault. The duty to
restore the erring one cannot be evad-

Detection, Duty, Danger.

Moved by love for his brethren, Paul
turns from his stern manner and calls
them to their social duty by using the
title. that at once proclaims their fra
ternal relation and obligation to the
erring member. who has been surprised
to nnd that he has been "overtaken in
q fault" 'lapsed from truth and right
eousness." Paul insists that II is the
duty of the spiritually minded one not
TO withdraw himself from the one who
has failed. in a spirit of superiority,
but 10 draw near in a sympathetic man
TO the fold of Christ.
Preparedness is necessary IL the work
OF restoration is to be a success. PauPs
conception of preparedness for the task
of correcting moral inhrmity is a spirit
ual one that can reach out q helping
hand TO the troubled soul. Unless one
has a tender heart and a passion for
eouls his efforts to restore the fallen
are apt to be hindered by harshness and
tmpatience with the one who has failed.
The man who has never been tempted
along the lines that surprised the erring
one is not apt to have any sympathy
with the reformation undertaken by
needs TO be helped back.
Paul urged that the best preventive
against the wrong attitude was the
recognition OF the danger that the re-
former himself should be tempted. Let
him that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he fall" and he will exercise
the "gentleness OF Christ" in trying to
restore to his place In the church and
community the erring member. whose
fall has revealed not only the common
peril. but also calls for the exercise OF
q brotherly spirit of burden bearing.

Facing the issues Of the great Euro
pean war. America is called upon not
only to pave the way for peace by
practicing the philanthropic teachings $
Of this lesson, bearing the burdens OF

but also to learn the value of tenn
perance, both as a preparation for her
great task Of leadership in the final
settlement of the worlds greatest
war and the establishment Of a per-
manent peace among men. One of the
blessings that have resulted from the
present conflict is that the nations
engaged In the titanic struggle have
seen how prohibiting the sale and
use OF intoxicating drinks has in
creased the ability of each individual
to bear the burdens of the war.
Of community life and Christ every
individual is called upon to bear his
own burdens. The man who tries to
shift his responsibility upon the shoul-
ders Of others has not learned the fun

Burden-Bearing.

The members of the Galatian churches
were united to one another through
their spiritual unity with the Lord
Jesus. the worlds great burden bearer,
and because OF that tie they were called
upon to share one another's load. No
man liveth to himself. and no Christian
can escape sharing the burdens of the
weaker brother. for the essence of
Christianity calls for philanthropic
work among not only the wayward and
weak disciples. who have strayed into
the far country. but also among the
suffering members of the human race
everywhere. In bearing the burdens
OF another's temptation. weakness and
sin. theN Christian "fulnlls the law of
Christ"
II one hesitates about taking up the
difhcult task of helping to bear an
others burden he will hesitate no
longer. when he recalls the law Of
Christ. who reduced all law to one.
Thou shalt love" The worker prompt
ed by love never turns away from
Sbs diflcult trial eS his faith. but draws
