THE WRITER
Iobn was the writer of the let
Tar before us. He calls himself the
cider which may refer to his age
es we'll as his office. He is still
the APOSTLE of love for his heart
GOES out to a great layman. He
leads to the fount of his highest
iov: "To hear Of my children
Walking in the truth" He tells of
his care of the work by writing
first to the church and then to
Gaius. He illustrates his treatment
of wrong-doing by rather sharp
reproof of the place-hunter VINO
must have his way in everything
He commends heartily one of the
best men in the congregation. he
is prudent in his correspondence,
unwilling to commit every thought
to writing. Finally he promises a
visit for richer fellowship ana
friendliness.
THE RECIPIENT
(Verses 2-4)
Gaius was the recipient OF
Johns last epistle. He appears 10
have been not a preacher but
layman. He loved much and was
much beloved. His health at the
time seems not to have been good
or perhaps he had encountered
some adversely. At any rate, ne
was deeply spiritual. The apos-
ties tribute to him and prayer
for him showed rare confidence
in a rare character. In whatever
he undertook, whether for the up
building of the church OF its eX-
tension, Gaius was faithful and
efficient. He was hospitable to
everybody who was engaged in
the Lords work. Especially he set
forward those who went forth on
missions among the Gentiles.
3-THE BENEFICIARIES
(Verses $50
Missionaries were the benefit
Charles of the aged apostles in
terest.. They started out on their
mission work solely for the sake
of the Name. Their exclusive pur-
pose was to give the gospel to the
world. In so doing they were al
together sacrificial for they took
nothing from the Gentiles. Yet
they were entitled to support for
they could not fulfil their minis
try and at the same time pay their
own expenses. at is therefore
our duty to support such men, so
that we may be fellow-workers
with the truth"
THE REBUKE
(Verses Gid
Diotrephes deserved the re-
Duke given him by John. Think
of his ambition for he loved to
have the pre-eminence in the
church, endeavored always to
take the lead in everything, and
sought the foremost place. Think
of his rejection of the apostles
leadership and how he repud;ated
John, refusing to listen to him.
Think of the accusation which he
made against the person and plans
of the apostle ''prating against
me with wicked words" his talk
against John being idle and mis-
chievous. Think Of his inhospital-
ity not only in refusing himself to
receive the Christian missionaries
who came that way but actually
forbidding others in the congrega-
ton to extend them hospitality.
Think also of his intolerance for

Land owners in his district who rent
their land to squatters have been in
scrap with the Virgin Islands Company
concerning the payment for canes deliv-
cred from their estate. The Company
men wanted to break through an old
custom which might have closed off
every opportunity for the collection of
the land rent.
One landowner told US that a little
continental upstart insinuated that ii he
received the money he may not pay the
squatters.
It was fortunate for the overworked
Judge that the land owner exercis-
ed what he calls his emergency self con-
troll
It is said that a lawyer representing
one of the aggrieved persons threatened
to secure an injunction against the Com
pany if it continued TO refuse to paw the
landowner for the canes delivered from
his estate.
Now the Company is furnishing
complete statement of the cane delivery
showing the names of the persons who
took the canes to the scale. the weight
of each load and the amountto be paid to
each squatter. A cheque to cover this
amount will he issued to the land own
er.
One not acquainted with the circlm.
stances and the relationship between the
estate owner and squatter would pro-
badly agree that the Company should
make payment direct to the squatter.
This would uproot an old custom and
sever the good relationship that exists
between the two groups.

because of the fact that it would cost
taxpayers $375,000 and take three or
