~ANTI.ALcoHoL PLEDGES

Bishop Carroll (Catholic) Of Mon
tana wrote thus during the Montana
dry campaign: 'By taking the pledge
the individual prohibits the use Of in
toxicating liquors by himself; by pass
ing a prohibition law the community
bars the use of intoxicating drinks to
itself. The community has as much
right to take the pledge as the individ-
ual." And, let US add, so has the state
and the nation.

ming races as much as We think and
talk about our baseball and football
games.
Knowing this, Paul uses an illustra-
ton that would attract their attention
and Impress them with the great Chris
tian truth he wishes TO teach. That
truth Is the future reward those Chris
tians obtain who faithfully serve the
Lord Jesus Christ in this life.
The figure is that of a running race,
In q real race anyone may not run
Just because he wishes to do 80. He
must have certain qualifications and be
properly entered In the race.
And II Is so In the Christian race
Of which Paul writes. One must be a
Christian before he can enter that
race, and oil people are not Chris
tlans.
But who is n Christiani Some think
they are Christians because they are
not h%eathens, or because they live In
q Christian land, or because their pa
rents were Christians, or because they
try to live q moral life, or because they
attend church or Sunday school.
But this Is not right. Paul teaches
In another place I'll Cor. 6:17l, that a
Christian Is q new creature, or n new
creation altogether; and this agrees
with what Jesus Christ said: Except
O man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom Of God" John 9:3).
And how may IN be born again1
The gospel Of John, 1:12, Is answers
that question when, speaking Of Jesus
Christ, II says: "As many Us received
him, to them gave he power to become
the sons Of God, ever to them that be-
lieve on his name, which were born,
not Of blood, nor Of the will Of the
flesh. nor Of the viii Of man, but Of
God"
We see that to be born again Is to re-
ceive Jesus Christ as our Savior. And
to receive him as our Savior is TO be-
lieve on him. to put our trust In him
to be saved, and pledge ourselves by
his grace to follow him as our Lord.
Have you done that as YETI II not,
why not do so us you listen to this mes
sage2 Why not say in your heart, II
do now receive Jesus Christ as my Sa-
vior, and henceforth | will confess him
as my Lord" This is to believe on
him, and to be born again and to be-
come q new creature.

o..


But II you have done this. what
then7 We come back to u text for
answer Paul says, "Know we not that
they which run In q race run oil, but
one receiveth the prize" In other
words, all Christians are running In
this rice, but all will not win the
prize. That does not mean that all real
Christians are not saved or that all
such will not go to heaven.
But 1t means that II is n thing to
be saved and go to heaven and an
other thing to get the prize Paul talks
about. Just what that prize is he
touches on o little later. but here he
simply says, $50 run, that ye may OBJ
tain"
Is not that what we want to dof Do
we not want to run successfully Do
we not want to obtain oil that God
has 80 lovingly promised US In his
SOM
How may we do itf Here is n hint.
"And every man which striveth for the
mastery" says Paul, us temperate In
all things" You know how 1t Is II
you want to be O good all-round ath-
lete. You must take good care Of your
self. You must eat the right kind Of
food, and sleep well, and exercise reg
ularly and practice hard, and all that
kind of thing. You cannot afford to be
careless in anything II you would win
the prize. And so 1t Is In the Chris
tan ace To be temperate In oil
things means that us Christians we
must keep n watch upon ourselves.
We must guard our eyes, and ears,
| and tongue, and hands, and feet and
all our thoughts from sin. We must
seek every day to do the will Of God
! in all things. And that means that we
must read his Holy Word and ask him
to help us understand II by his Holy
| Spirit, 80 that we may know his will
and love to do 1t, just as Jesus did.
And this Is worth while, for Paul
says: 'sThey do It to obtain q corrupt
ible crown but we an incorruptible."
The winner In the Greclan game felt 1t
reward enough II he had a row Of
laurel placed on his head in the pres
ence Of the applaudlng throng. Such
a crown would soon wither away, how
ever, but not 30 the crown which God
gives to the victorious soul. That is
an i%ncorruptible crown, there is no de-
cay in 1t and It lasts forever.
What Is the nature Of that crown2
II is hard to express 1t in human Ian
guage. Paul was once caught up into
Paradise, he tells Us, "and heard I'M
speakable words which 1t is not pos
sible for man to utter" And this IL
illustrates why we cannot understand
much that we accept by faith Of 1.-THE
things God hath prepared for them
that love him." They are impossible
