Motto-For Christ and the Church.
Topic THE Great Companion. How to
live with Him" Text. Luke "a; 1882.
Hints For the Leader.
In order to enjoy the companionship
Of Jesus We must walk His way, walk
with Him, not He with US, we must
stay out of the paths of selfish ambi-
ton and sin, paths which he will not
tread. Christ came to earth that he
might become the close companion OF
all men, just as he was the companion
Of His disciples when on earth. 1t is
perfectly easy to obtain Christ for a
companion, one has only to invite Him
in sincerity.
Christ is our companion in every
fight for right, always firm again
hypocricy and wrong doing, now as in
His earthly life. We must endeavor
to keep clean, that Christ will ever
help US.
A man who reeks with tobacco and
drink cannot be the companion of a
person disguised with such odors. If
he values their companionship he must
give up these habits. To enjoy the
companionship of Christ we must give
up our worldly and sinful habits and
follow his way.
Can we imagine a world without
God, the desolation and hopelessness
of it all. No comfort in sorrow, no
hope in death, a world without honor,
would we like to live in such a
world?
To think about the joy of living with
Christ is the greatest Joy possible for
humanity. 1t means the climax of
strength and wisdom and peace and
happiness.
