Every Day Practice Written by St.
PauI--clean Living Necessary to
Happiness In This World and Eter-
nal Life In the Next.
(By the Teacher).
Your attention is directed from time
to time to cleanup campaigns and
sanitary campaigns and occasionally
you hear some lecture on the impor-
tance Of sanitation and cleanliness
There is nothing new in that the
only new thing new in it being the ad-
ditions from time to time in the num-
Der Of people that have come to real
ize the Importance and necessity Of it.
The Bible taught the Importance OF
the cleanliness Of person and premises
and the necessity Of moderation and
temperance for the promotion OF
healthy life years and years ago. So
for our lesson for Sunday we have q
lesson on Bible teachings about health
and how It is our Christian duty and
our physical duty for our own comfort
and conveniencesto take ,are Of those
temples in which we live-our bodies.
st. Paul, whose teachings we shall
study for some time to come, himself
realized the Importance of it and the
text for Sunday~is found in letter OF
his to the Corinthians.
He was living at Ephesus when he
wrote this lecture. 1t was written
somewhere. between A. D. SO and Sc
since he lived there three; years and he
wrote his letter to the Galatians, part
Of which is included in the Scripture
lesson for today, during his third visit
to Greece, a. D. 81.
Paul is writing about the sin Of Ii
centiousness, the besettlng sin Of the
Corinthians. They were gay people
those Corinthians, from all accounts,
and the orgies that they staged would
make roof garden and restaurant par
ties of New York. before John Barley
corn was knocked out Of the box, lool;
like piker proceedings. But the Scrip
ture lesson before we go into any dis
cussion.
The Scripture Lesson.
The Scripture lesson as found in ]
Corinthians, 6:19, 20; 9:24-27; Gala
tians. ST. s. is as follows:
|: Cor. 9:24 Know We not that they
that run in q race run all, but one re-
ceiveth the prize? Even so run; that
ye may attain.
4 25. And every man tha: striveth in
the games reXerciseth self-control In
all things. Now they do it to receive
a corruptible crown; but we an incor-
ruptible.
2s. therefore so run, as not uncer-
tajnly; SO fight l, as not beating the
air; -
27. But l buffet my body, and bring
it into bondage: lest by any means
after that I have preached to others, /
myself should be rejected.
GAL CT. Be not deceived. God is
not -mocked; for whatsoever a man
soweth, that: shall he also reap.
s. For he that sOweth unto his own
flesh shall Of the flesh reap corruption;
Dul HC lllsll SO"CIt dlllO kilC oPi' - Siitt
Of the Spirit reap eternal life.
Must Pay the Price.
You all know. my friends, that when
you violate the rules Of nature in any
particular you have got to pay FOR that
violation 4 price in accordance with
the extent of overstepping.
Many Of you maybe, can take drink
of this pop-skull booze the country is
now flooded with and not have q head
ache. But if you take several drinks
you not only have the headache; but
your nerves are unstrung, your, stom-
ach is all out Of sorts and you are out
Of commission generally. You know
that If you drink it in sufficient quan-
titles and long enough it is only n mat
ter Of time until your friends are gath
cred in the parlor Of your late home
or in your church looking at your clos
ed eyes and cold brow and whispering
one 10 another, II think he looks per-
rectly natural, don't you?"
