That counsel was directed to one of
the most restless. turbulent and dis
orderly communities in the ancient
world-the disreputable Cretans Titus,
proba bly, himself Cretan. WAS In
charge OF the Christian Church in
Crete. Earlier in his letter Paul had
quoted from one OF their own prophets
to the effect that "Cretans are always
liars, evil beasts. idle gluttons." Down
to the present time. Greece has found
Crete the most diflcult part Of her
realm to handle
Once, In the misty past, Crete was
a leader. If not the very founder, of
what We call civilization-that theme
Is too fascinating to permit depression
into it-but the original Cretan genius
had degenerated into q sort of an
archy. Titus task was to bring the
people into the orderly way OF life.
His mission was harder than any that
confronts religion today If Cretans
could become true Christians. so may

lectually restless Of our own time.
The Root Of the Tree.
No cheap and easy remedy for the
evils that plagued society in Crete
two thousand years ago. and that
plague society today, was offered by
wise old Paul The Bible does not
compromise with our modern mood
of watering down good truths. The
new life, which made good citizens
OF those once-wild Cretans, was no
shallow political or philosophical
programs. Changed characters were
made possible only when the kind
ness of God our Saviour, and His
love toward man appeared - Ac-
cording to His mercy He saved us,
through the washing OF regeneration
and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
which He poured out upon us richly,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour
In other words. the root Of the
tree which bears the fruit OF changed
lives is the accepted love of God
This old world will never lift itself
by its own bootstraps. try as it may.

what a potent phrasel-is mans
only hope. In right relations with
Him. and never otherwise. men and
women are empowered to live the
new lives which are civilizations only
hope. We cannot get away from the
definitely spiritual character of the
great change. As Paul told Titls,
it Is they who have believed God who
are careful to maintain good works. "
Most daring of all the dreams that
have entered the inspired minds Of
men Is this one Of renewed society.

The Rev. walter F. Smith enters

of no better way in which money could

OF course, the Sunday schools are

capitalized by the futile highbrows.
Nevertheless, even at its poorest, the
Sunday school does bring its members

agreed to the dictum: If boy goes
