? SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Paul Reminds Christians That Christ, Not Church Leaders, Is Their Master

marked by rtggedneSs and strength than by snaoothness and beauty.
 Paul found 1t necessary to re- mind both these classes of disciples that their primary allegiance was to Jesus Christ, that their faith should not stand in him, or in any other man, but in their Master.
 Along the same line he was in. sistent upon maintaining his integ. rity as 8 preacher of the Gospel. He had received his commission, not from man but from the Lord Jesus. His counsel to Timothy is advice that any young man, who would seek the ministry or who would fol- low the Christian life, might well take to heart.
 One need not comment upon the other extracts except to emphasize the fact that all the Epistles have common conception of the Gospel. They place common emphasis upon It's supreme character as a gospel of redemption, bringing to man salvation and enjoining upon him a way of love in harmony with the love of God, which is the source and power of salvation.

BIBLE MISPLACE
 IN CAMP LIFE
Shares With Call, ReveilIe in Daily
 Assignments

Fort Dix, July 26 Selections from the Holy Bible share with roll call and duty assignments at the 5:45 8. m. reveille formations of Company I, 18th Infantry Regi- ment, stationed with the 44th Di- vision at Fort Dix.
 The selections are read to- the men of Company I by First Ser geant Aaron Nathan. The reading is the. sergeant's own idea. He decided men of his company were not pay ing enough attention to religion, be- cause on Sundays when most serv- ices are held at Fort Dix, many ot the men are usually on pass visit ing their homes. So, he asked per- mission of the company command CT, Captain John c. Cassidy of Union City, N. J., to read short sel- ections from the Bible at reveille. time permitting. Captain Cassidy highly approved the idea.
 Sergeant Nathan, who is 30 years old and unmarried, a veteran of II years in the National Guard, lives at 331 Randolph avenue in Jersey City. He was employed as 8 loco- motive repairman by the Jersey Central Railroad before the Nation al Guard was Federalized last Sep- tember Never a Sunday school teacher, the idea for the morning Bible reading came to Sergant Na- than after he began his years mill itary service.
 Yesterday morning. before spend- ing the day getting their equipment ready for the Virginia maneuvers, for which the 44th leaves today, the men of Company I, heard Sergeant Nathan read the Ten Command ments.

When great man dies, almost invariably among the biographies is volume that consists mainly of his letters. These are read eagerly by those who loved or admired him because 1t is realized that in these letters he revealed his life and thoughts more clearly and intimate ly than anything else could have revealed 1t.
 We have no formal biographies of the great apostles and leaders in the first generation of the Christian Church. It is interesting that on the whole we know more about Paul than we do about any of the orig inal 12 apostles. We are fortunate in the letters which tell us more about Paul than the formal facts of his life and career as they are recorded in the Book of the Acts, and which tell us much concerning Peter, James and others who wrote the Epistles.
 Here in our lesson we have some samples of these letters. Three of the selections are from the letters of Paul.-one to the Galatians, one to the Thessalonians, and one a personal letter, addressed to his be- loved son in the faith, Timothy. We have a selection, also, from a let ter written by Peter to the disciples in general, and a chapter which constitutes a singlebook, written by Jude who is believed to have been a younger brother of Jesus.
 In the passages by Paul, we have an indication of the intimate rela- tionship he maintained with the churches he established, and with the disciples. Apparently there were two attitudes on the part of these some whose loyalty to Paul was so intense that there was danger of their religion making them disciples of Paul rather than disciples of Christ; and others who were in- clined to be critical of Paul and to adhere more closely to other preach- CTS or leaders who had come into the church.
 For instance, Apollos had the reputation of being very fluent, whereas Paul seems to have been somewhat hesitant of speech and of character and personality more

The air in the pine grove cool astringent, sweetly resinous after the hot afternoon like a draft of fresh cold water. Lying there on the dark satiny carpet of needles, rich umber, dappled with gold coins of sunlight lying there, staring at the black lace of boughs against cerulean sky, it seemed that the pine branches had combed the clouds out into thin mares tails across the arch of the day. Somewhere cicada rasping, somewhere cone fell with dry rustic; an ant gravely inspected drop of bright amber resin on one of the gray scay tree-trunks and these were the only sounds the only movements in the golden somnolence of the still afternoon.
