seem to think that being a Christian
means entering into q place Of Sc
curity and rest and promptly going
sound asleep. Far from 1t. The
Christian, knowing Gods Word, is
keenly alert to the dangers Of this
ungodly world.
8. Keeping their own souls wv.
20,2D. The best defense is a Wig
orous offense. The way to contend
against error is to build up ones
own faith by the study of Gods
Word, by communion with his chill
dren, but above all by prayer ''in
the Holy Ghost" And above all
there will be an abiding In the love
of God and a looking for the full
fllment of the mercy Of Christ at
his coming again.
4. Saving the souls Of others wv.
22,23. Soul-winning is Cor should
bel the normal expression Of the
Christians life. It is his GROWING
Joy. It most effectively counter,
acts error and worldliness. It builds
up the church. Why not do it?
Note that there are two types Of
sinners to be rescued. Some are
sin doubt" (R. W, needing tender
and careful instruction. Others are
in grave danger, and must be res
cued by drastic reproof and decisive
action. Soul-winning Is urgent bust
ness.
III. Kept by Christ wv. 24,25).
The doxology at the close Of Jude
has been a haven Of comfort and
assurance for Gods children
throughout the centuries. Hither
have come the strong in faith to re-,
joice and praise God. Here has
been found the Strengthening Of
faith by the fearful and trembling
. soul who had not yet learned that
he may fully trust God. These
verses present two truths.
/. Assurance. Our Saviour is able
to keep us from falling, yes, even
from stumbling" (R. W, and to.
present us ''faultless" (''without
blemish''-R. W., with exceeding
Joy, before the glorious presence
Of God.
2. Worship. Such a God and Saw
Jour is indeed worthy of the out
going of every Christian heart in
alteration and worship. To him
would we gladly aScribe glory,
majesty, dominion and power" for
and before all time" (R. W. .

To be born is only to begin life.
The years which stretch out before
with their growth, their struggles,
their joys, call for courageous Hv-
ing.
So it is with the Christian. He is
a born one," as we saw in our les
son of last Sunday. But when he is
born again he is just ready to begin
the Christian life.
The Epistle of Jude sheds much
light on the dangers which beset the
Christians pathway and exhorts
him to holy living and sacrifcial
service. 1t opens with a description
Of the Christian and closes with an
ascription of praise to God. It re-
veals the Christian as one who Is
1. Called in Christ wv. 1, D.
The entire Trinity is seen to be

AS Jude began to write of the
salvation" which he had in com

Mamhas. Dreaded Snake

''Most dreaded snake in Africa"
is how naturalists describe the
mambas. Even a slight wound from
the fangs generally means death.
The black mamba surpasses the
green in size, often growing to IL
feet. Mambas are so irritable and
nervous, they can be kept in cap
tivity only in separate cages. Yet
they can be tanned. They drop from
limbs or glide swiftly from bushes
to attack humans. Their speed per-
mits no escape.

Humus, Decayed Plant Matter

Humus is the name for all more
or less decayed plant and animal
matter. Examples are peat and
muck from swamps, compost
(Which is mixture Of leaves, sods,
garden litter, garbage, ETC., piled up
and allowed to rot) and the like.
Humus has some fertilizer value but
this is variable, depending on its
contents. The most important func-
ton Of humus is to improve the tex
ture of the soil, by making it loose
and more spongy. Humus will not
burn roots of plants.

In his bid for support of the farm
ers, Lewis warned against the "propa-
ganda' that high prices Of things the
farmer buys are caused by the c. I. O.
and quickly conceded that lit is the
prosperity of the farmer that quickens
the tempo of manufacturing activities
and brings buying power to the mil
lions of urban and industrial workers.
AS we view the years that have passed
this has always been true and it be-
comes increasingly imperative that
the farm population and tn millions
OF workers in industry must learn to
combine their strength for the attain
ment of mutual and desirable objec-
tives and at the same time learn to
guard themselves against the sinister
propaganda of those who would divide
