No one would think of going into

that all his muscles could have free

girdle of truth and reality Paul puts
first. No Christian ought to fear
truth from any quarter In the adVen-

to have a genuine true Christian eX-

the vital organs and was made of the

Shoes play large part in any war.
The Christian seeks peace and moves
alertly and active in every attack in
a war against war. seeking peace
based upon justice and right through
Gods grace of salvation. The shield
of faith is one that will protect you
thoroughly if you have taken it and
accepted the helmet of salvation to
cover your thinking, seeing and di-

pardon for sin, spiritual strength,

Hidden Foes.

Drawing a lesson from the war sto-
ries that he had heard from his
guard the apostle sounds a call to
arms in the concluding passage of this
lofty spiritual message. Paul points
out that the only way they can master
the invisible foes is by their strength
ening themselves in the Lord and in
the power which His supreme might
lmparts." According to Paul the great
est danger that every Christian has to
face is the temptation ito fall in with
the wrong and the unworthy" so that,
being off his guard. he will contami-
nate his life through being influenced
by evil desire, pride of power. greedy
ambition and malicious spirit uncon-
