that the supremacy of the principles

THE CHRISTIAN MOTIVES
IN SOCIAL LIFE

The Christian motive in social life
stands for purity;
Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just
whatsoever things are pure, whatso-
ever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be
any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think of these things. ."-Phillipans
4-s.
The Christian motive in social life
stands for humility:
Let nothing be done through strife
or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind
let each esteem other better than them
selves.
Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the
things Of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus:
VINO being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal
with God.
But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness
IF men:
And being found in fashion as a
nan, he humbled himself, and became
obidient unto death, even the death
Of the cross" PHILIPPIANS 2:3-s.
The Christian motive in social life
stands for kindness:
BE kindly affectioned one to
another with brotherly love; in hon
our preferring one another" Rom.
I2-I0.
The Christian motive in social life
stands for hospitality:
BE not forgetful to entertain
strangers: for thereby some have en-
tertainec angels unawares. Heb.
1872.
The Christian motive in social life
stands for purity of speech:
