to live is Christ"
ON the last Sunday of the year
~ when we are looking toward
the past and reviewing the years
experiences there could be no bet
fer theme for study than the re-
view of the life of Paul.
Paul had in his past life, as all
of us have had in ours, some
things that he would greatly have
WISHED TO alter. He had the con-
sc;ousness of always having been
sincere and honest in his motives,
inn his heart had not als avs been
oucn to the influences of kihdli-
ness and love. and his very hon
esty and intensity had made him
a prosecutor.
Probably most of us cannot
look upon the past wan such a
rood conscience. We know that
in addition to our ignorance and
u unenlightenment there has
been gross folly and weakness, OF
which we can be only ashamed.
But might we not very we'll adopt
Paul's motto of progress? For
getting the things that are behind
press toward the mark OF the
prize OF my high calling which Il
of GoG in Christ Jesus
1t is a very human story that VIC
are reviewing in the life OF Paul
His courage and his power of en-
durance mark him almost as a
auperman. and his ultimate in
fuence in history places him
among the most powerful men
who have lived. But the great
Tess Of Paul is essentially the
greatness, 81 "a a In every
phase of mis-. life it is the human
quality that is emphasized and
magnifed.

life. it is the teaching that he re-

"You know how terribly old-fash-
Toned and practical she is"
So Aunt Jennie's Christmas had
consisted of a wooden sweater,
wooden gloves. good stout wooden
hose, a sewing basket, slippers
lined with lambs, wool, a little
wooden shawl, and knitting needles
In assorted sizes.
AS the presents were being
opened on Christmas morning, how
ever, Aunt Jennie uttered a cry of
delight and rushed over and en-
braced her small nephew. Charlie.
Unknown to the family, Charlie,
more practical than his parents,
had given his aged aunt a little
brass lip stick, a box of rouge. and
some powder and a puff.
"You dear, sweet boy !" Aunt Jen-
nile was Saving. You dear. sweet

my color so youthful and beauti-
full, it must be artificial at my age.
Why, | feel twenty-five years young

At dinner that day, if Aunt Jen-
ME didn't look twenty-five years
younger, she looked at least ten.
and the youthful flush of her cheek
was a sufficient recompense to
Charlie for the mild scolding he had
received from his practical mother.
