Weekly Sunday School Lesson The Christians Standard Of Life

Paul, who saw the Christian life in all it's largeness and conn prehensiveness, saw it also in it's most minute details of daily liv- ing. The large life of love and righteousness and truth was to be manifest in a restraint upon evil temper and upon nasty tongue.
 The more truly man had his heart set upon the higher things, the .nnore inevitably would he re- frain from evil habits and prac- tices.
 Paul saw this Christian life as a life of self-control and discipline, but as a lie of elemental peace, because dsharmony and discord had been overcome through grace. To. him the Christian life was one of a supreme poy that could not be shaken even by suffering and persecution.
 In his own life he showed that, even in the darkness of a prison, with his feet fast in the stocks, he and his companion could sing songs and praises to God. It means much to have an experience like that, but Paul believed that it was an experience that was possible for every Christian.
 It was not some great miracu- lous thing to which only a few could attain; but common people, even those whose lives had been marred by gross sins and wrong attitudes, could find such peace and joy though the recreation of their lives by the power of Christ. This is the standard of Christian living. Our 1ession is given as an international temperance lesson, but the standard applies to every aspect of life and to everything that would weaken or destroy the souls integrity and strength. Paul saw men and women givi- ing themselves over to evil habits, and evil practices in the hope of finding some stimulation and in- toxication, tas young folks to-day would say getting a kick out of life." He pointed out higher way.
 It was not way of mere nega- tion or of dumbness; 1t was way also of inspiration and of stimula- tion amountinO even to intoxica- tion. But Paul's. words were, "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit
 That is intoxication to some pur- pose.

Trial Paintings'
 Attracting Many

Drawn by the press notices of the color hysteria on display at sample portions of the post office lobby, which have been given trial coats in an effort to decide on a final color scheme for the interior of the building, scores of persons have visited the federal building during the past few days to gaze in awe at the delicate mixtures of red. yell low and black.
 Comment on the part of those who came to look has been very free and almost unanimously un- favorable Staid Connecticut. it is apparently felt by most, has not arr rived yet at the stage of the sample paints in the lobby.
 Meanwhile. decision on the final colors to he used in the interior of the building rests with Major George Oakley Totten, who de- signed the structure, and who was here last week to look over the in- terior decorating situation.

 About a month ago a meeting or the Connecticut empoyes in Wash ington was held and plans were made to forward their absentee ballots to the town clerks and se- lectmen of their native towns and cities.
 Maurice D. Wentzel was named head of the committee in charge of the absentee voting ballots and Ralph Lawrence was picked as his chief assistant. This Is the first time that Connecticut has had an absentee voting privilege while many states of the Union have had such laws for a long time.

Egan stated this morning. that she has about so applications or absentee ballots on hand and that many of them have come from Washington, D. C., where .Waterburians are now employed in federal positions.

 "Probation After Death" will be the subject of the lesson-sermon.
 The golden text is from I Cor inthians 15: 26: ."The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
 Bible readings include the fol lowing passages from 1 Peter D.: 6-10: Humble yourselves there. fore under the mighty hand Of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your ad- versary the devil, as roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may deyour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in rour brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered while, make you perfect stablish, strengthen, settle you"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 242:15: "Self-love is more opaque than a solid body. In patient obedi- ence to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal sol- vent of Love the adamant of error, --self-will. self justification. and self-love, which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death."
