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
tan 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 runnins race.
In real race anyone may not run
just because he wishes to do so. He
must have certain qualifications and be
properly entered in the race.
And it is so in the Christian race
of which Paul writes. One must be a
Christian before he can enter that
race, and all people are not Chris
tianS.
But who is Christian! Some think
they are Christians because they are
not heathens, or because they live in
d Christian land, or because their pa
rents were Christians, or because they
try to live a moral life, or because they
attend church or Sunday school.
But this is not right. Paul teaches
in another place I'll Cor. 5:17), that a
Christian is new creature, or new
creation altogether; and this agrees
with what Jesus Christ said: Except
n man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God' John 3:3).
And how may one be born again?
The, gospel of John, a .12, 10 answers
that question when, speaking of Jesus
Christ, 1t says: "As many as received
him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that be-
lieve on his name, which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the
desh, nor of the will of man, but of
tod"
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.

But if you have done this, what
then? We come back to our text for
answer. Paul says, "Know We not that
they which run in a race run all, but
one receiveth the prize?" In other
words, all Christians are running in
this race, 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 1t is one 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 a little later, but here he
simply says, $50 run, that We may OBJ
tain"
Is not that what we want to do? Do
we not want to run successfully? Do
we not want to obtain all that God
has so lovingly promised us In his
Son?
How may we do it? Here is hint.
"And every man which striveth for the
mastery" says Paul, rs temperate in
all things" You know how 1t is If
you want to be 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 IL you would win
the prize. And so it is in the Chris
tian race.
And this is worth while, for Paul
says: ''They do'it to obtain corrupt
lble crown; but we an incorruptible. "
The winner in the Grecian game felt 1t
reward enough If he had crown Of
/ laurel placed on his head In the pres
ence of the applauding throng. Such
crown would soon wither away. how
ever but not SO the crown which God
gives to the victorious sonl.

Reverses Nuisance Case.

Persons accused of conducting a

titled to have jury decide the ques-

Che supreme court, and are not to be
tried before a judge or chancellor
without jury, in cases brought I'M
der the custer law. This question was
determined in the case of State ex rel.

Jury had been denied. Both the court

held that he was entitled to jury,
