The Holy Spirit, John 1871, l.,
Romans S:10-17, 26, 27, for Sun
day, June 8:
The Holy Spirit is God in us as
our Teacher and Guide, Helper and
Support in every relation of the
Christian life The Holy Spirit is
the Holy Breath of God breathing
in us so that we live a divine life.
V. Z. Nevertheless | tell the
truth: 1t is expedient for you that l
go away; for, if / go not away, the
Comforter will not come unto you;
but if | depart, | will send him unto
you" Christ could be in only one
place at time if he remained in
the flesh; had Christ remained there
would be more curiosity connected
with his good works than if the
Holy Spirit took his place; then,
too the disciples instead of depend
ing upon Christ are made more ef-
fective by being filed with the Spir-
it.
VS.. 8, 8, 10, II. "And when he
is come, he will reprove the world
of sin and of righteousness, and of
judgment" He would convince the
world of the fact and reality of sin
by the simple and inclusive test OF
unbelief in Jesus. He would con-
vince the world of the ideal and
possibility Of righteousness, the
first as exemplified in Jesus and the
second as attainable through Jesus,
who having completed his earthly
mission, has gone back to the Faith
er. He would also convince the
world of the reality Of Judgment
because already the sentence Of
condemnation has been passed up
on Satan.
V. 10. "And if Christ be in
you, the body is dead because of
sin; but the spirit is life because of
righteousness" Even though Christ
dwells in US, the body must die as
result of sin entering into the
world The spirit of this verse is
not the Holy Spirit, but the human
spirit because of acceptance with
God has risen into new life and is
beyond the reach of death. This

new life is explained in verse II,
our spirit being quickened by the
Holy Spirit.
V. IL. Therefore, brethren, we
are debtors. not to the flesh, to live
after the flesh" There are two
great powers contending within us
for the mastery of our lives; one is
the flesh, the other is the spirit.
The flesh for our life on its earth
ward side and includes such desires,
pursuits and pleasures as are main
ly rooted in the flesh. The spirit is
the soul on its heavenward side and
includes it's higher and purer needs
and aspirations. i we live in obed-
fence to the dietGtes of the flesh, we
pursue the path of death. We are
under no obligations to follow the
dictates of the flesh.
VS.. 13, ID. "For if ye live after
the flesh, ye shall die; but if We
through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live. For
as many as are led by the Spirit of
God. they are the sons of God" The
body has its rights which must be
respected, or it will revenge itself
upon us. But we must master the
body and not let it master us. The
test Of the Christian life is the
spirit Of Christ. The test of the
Christian life is seen in the express
sions of the spirit of Christ. The
Spirit leads not only into sonship by
his regenerating grace and power,
but also leads into spheres of SER
vice.
V. Is. "For ye have not receiv-
ed the spirit of bondage again to
fear, but ye have received the spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father" Those who become the
sons of God do not receive a slavish
fear of God, but receive such con-
seriousness of adoption into Gods
family that from the heart they
cry, "Father, Father"
V. 16. "The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are
the children of God" Here is
promise of a profound, deep, relig-
ious experience in which there is a
reinforcement within making posi-
tive and forceful the purer and
higher desires, motives and pur-
poses of life.
V. IT. ''Heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ Christ is no
heir apart from lis and without US,
just as truly as we are no heirs
apart from him and without him.

Fred D. Coulson has received let
ter from c.. M. Purmort, president
of the Central Manufacturers Mu-
tual Insurance Company, congratu-

The facts set forth in the above
are from THE Centralizer," the
company's monthly paper sent to it's
agents all over the United States.
Last year the Coulson Agency
received letters from agencies as
far away as Texas, in regard to
their winning in the 1898 Presi-
dents Club.

new home was building, and from
which the new home can be seen
across the valley.
While eating lunch beside the
bridge which crosses the majestic
Delaware, we pondered the words
of the bronze marker: "Here George
Washington, with his army, crossed
the Delaware, December 26, 1776."
We fingered at the battlefield of
Princeton, where General Mercer,
surprised by the British, shot and
bayoneted, died in an old house
still standing near the road. In odd
contrast, near by, is the Oldest
church in the community, the Quak-
er meeting house, with it's walled
cemetery.
Visiting the magnificent old
buildings of Princeton university,
home Of the Tigers, at Nassau hall
we were told that the faculty room:
was the place where the continental
congress once mbled. A few
blocks from this is the monument
of Washington and his soldiers, by
Frederic MacMonnies, 1922. The
Princeton cemetery is called the
Westminster Abbey of America .
Here are buried Grover Cleveland,
Aaron Burr. Jonathan Edwards, and
all former presidents of the uni
versity, except Woodrow Wilson.
Close to the campus of the univer-
sity are the homes of Woodrow
Wilson; Mrs. Preston, once Mrs.
Grover Cleveland; Henry Vandyke,
and other notable persons.

Certainty OF The Christian Life

There is too much failure at the
starting point. Bunyan's "Pil-
grim's Progress furnishes the sug-
gestive steps essential at the begin
ming; the wicket gate needs to be
passed through. Unsatisfactory con-
versions, as they might be describ-
ed, have resulted in a shallow, un-
spiritual type of membership which
lacks certainty. The cause can be
traced very often to foggy generali-
ties about saving faith.
The outward expressions, raising
the hand, signing a card, bowling at
an altar of prayer confirmation
should be but evidence of a genuine
desire for an assuring experience.
Here is needed specific teaching and
wise technique just the same as is
necessary in the life Of an artist or
musician.

law provides for shorter hours for
election officials, which permits
two shifts of officials. Instead of
the six precinct election officials
continuing on the job from the time
the polls open until the vote is
counted, 10 officials may be assign
ed to two shifts, one shift to re-
ceive the vote and the other to
count it, However before such an
arrangement can be made, the
county election board must adopt a
formal resolution providing for it.
The cost of such split operation
would be the same, $50 a precinct,
as under the present arrangement
with six judges and clerks.

it would free us from many anX-
ieties. One on a journey cannot
stop to mark the small discomforts
by the way. 1t would kill the ma
terialism and over-emphasis upon
luxuries. A pilgrim does not en-
cumber himself with impediments,

travels light. Each day we pitch our

None at ALL" replied Blacky. But
if you ask me, I can tell you what

"I told you nothing is the matter

"Oh, yes there is" replied Blacky.

three weeks ago. Although what any
body wants to sleep all Winter for, I
don't know. What have you stayed
up so late for?"

The sooner you get to bed and to

Buster.

Buster said nothing but turned his
back on Blacky and shufned off to-
ward the pond of Paddy the Beaver.
Blacky watched him 60 and there was
a twinkle in those sharp eyes Of his.
He looked at the big windfall and
then he looked at the receding form
of Buster Bear. Finally he looked
over at Prickly Porky the Porcupine.
"Was Buster Bear round here In the

Of the reasons why machinery was in

be clear. The machine Is more re-

The real youth problem today is to
determine the temperament of youth;

science of psychology for this guild

next to nothing about the actual

people to do this and that-after q

courage, to preach the gospel Of look

"HERE are two famous carpen-
ters among natures children,
each vastly unconcerned about
Il your observation of their &C
tiuties, so long as you do not inter-
fere with them. The woodpecker
tribe is the best known of this guild,
the carpenter bees the other.
The first group selects our dead
trees, fence posts, sides OF buildings
and such places, making bit of noise
about it, too. The smaller, though
no less eficient workmen q should

elder, sumac and other pith or soft
wood, often resorting to porch rails
or shutters, If they desire to, for their
drilling and constructing purposes.
Inspect the stems Of plants late

serted in June or July. Split the stem
iengthwise and count the empty rooms.
The partition will also reveal to you
whether the late occupant was wasp
or a bee. If it is fine sawdust, held
together by cement, it was bee nurs-
ery. If the floors and ceilings were
grains Of sand and mud glued to-
gether, it was wasp dormitory.

spiderlings, it is robust wasp infants

The carpenter bee is a determined
worker-her mission in life is to carry
on the family traditions, which she
does to the letter.
During her Journeys back and forth
over the land to find food for her
babies she has also seen many OF the
deep-throated flowers who cater only
to the Upper -tongued moths ana out-
terfiies and hummingbirdS. Well sf1e
