sire Success.
The Christian Endeavor topic this
week In discussed by tho Rev. u. q.
Holloway. who takes for his subject
Better Work" DR.. Holloway says,
1t way he we'll to consider this CUB
iect IN such brief article from the
point OF view of the text, Rom. 12i9-1t.
| These three verses could well be
called "a Secret to Better Work"
Paul warns liz In the first place that
our lovc In to be unfeigned. without
discrimination. literally. unhypocriti-
cal. He is not speaking OF love that
we know Of as sentimentallsm. He ~
speaking OF that love which Is like
Christs--that pourr itself out In ser
vice 10 our fellowman. First, then.
according to the text, our love that
prompts us TO work In To be absolutely
sincere and unaffected. Secondly. we
are to "ebhor the evil" Literally we
are to shrink from the evil" But
"cleave to the good" We are TO draw
away from the evll' and "darw to the
good" We can't do better work while
our feet are still stuck In the mud of
evil. We are TO shake our feet loose
from the mud. shrink from the evil"
and "cleavo TO the good" just as n
young child ahrinka from bulldog
and oleaves 20 his father. Thirdly. "in
brothcrly love we are to be warm
hearted oee 10 ANOTHER; In esteem we
are TO ihefer one another" what a
secret OF unity and fellowship Here
we have the need of any organization
/ a. H.. -
miracles of change would take place
II every Endeavorer practlsed the
message OF verse 10, Then, lastly. we
are mot 10 be tlmid I'm our eagerness
but fervent jealous In our spirit"
Note the contrast In the adiectivcs
which the authorized version has
translated paul's words Abhor- cleave
slothful- fervent. These arc powerful
words. N we would all put n little
more "kick' In our shrlnging from
evil and cleaving To good II we would
all pass from timidity In our servic,
| to God to fervency. we would all bt
doing better work.
