EUGENE A SMITH
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1935-09-27

Epistles of the New Testament ana
gives us a look into the early church
life and also a picture Of the aged
apostle. This Epistle consists Of
the following parts:
l. The salutation wv. 1-4l. This
letter was addressed to Gaius, with
the fervent wish that his temporal
prosperity and physical health
would be measured by the measure
Of the increase Of his spirituality.
His supreme Joy was to hear that
his children were walking In the
truth.
2. His praise for GaIus (Vv. S-Sl.
This praise was for the hospitality
which Gaius showed toward some
travelling evangelists. In spite Of
the opposition Of a certain prominent
member of the church, Gaius re-
ceived these preachers into his home.
To receive Gods messengers into
our homes and send them forth on
their journey is q deed worthy Of
God. One Of the best ways to help
the truth is to show hospitality TO
its messengers.
8. His condemnation Of Diotrephes
wv. 8, 10). The sin Of this man
was his Over-weening self-cOnadence
and arrogance. He loved to have
the place Of prominence; there
fore, for that reason he refused to
receive these travelling evangelistS
and expelled from the church those
who had received them into their
homes. He even maliciously at
tackled John the beloved pastor. His
spirit of pride moved him to acts Of
tyranny toward others.
4. His commentator Of Demetrius
". 12). Demetrius was perhaps the
bearer Of this letter. John gives
the assurance that Demetrius was
Of good report among all men. His
life Of good deeds proved that he
was In fellowship with God.
