] V. II. Rejoicing in hope; pa
tient in tribulation! continuing
steadfastly in prayer" A dynamic
! life perseyeres in hope, in tribula
ton, in prayer. Spasmodic good.
ness is meteor, not sun or star
with steady light. Be right and dc
right. The storm will come, but
hope and pray.
V. 13. Communicating to the
necessities of saints; given to hos
pitality." Dynamic Christians do
all they can to relieve suffering.
V. ID. ''Bless them that perse-
cute you; bless, and curse not" By
experience Paul, the writer, knew
the meaning of these words as
taught by Christ. 1t calls for dy-
manic power to live this verse
V. Is. "Rejoice with them that
rejoice; weep with them that weep"
In this verse is found the ties that
bind us to one another. Christians
are to be united people and here
is one of the ways to that end.
v. 16. "Be of the same mind,
one toward another; Set not your
mind on high things but condescend
to things that are lowly. Be not
wise in your own conceit." Discord
spells disaster. Unity means pow
er. Divergent natures and inter-
ests can meet on common ground.
Be congenial in Christ.
v. II. Render to no man evil
for evil. Take thought for things
honorable in the sight of all men,"
We are not only to do what we
know is right in the sight of God
but to be tolerant, recognizing the
views of others.
v. IS. IF it be possible, as
much as lieth in you, be at peace
with all men," Others may cause
strife which you cannot help, but
you can always be silent when as
sailed. Only the dynamic power
of love can do this.
v. 10. "Avenge not yourselves"
Turn your enemies over to God;
He will take care of them.
V. 20. "But if thine enemy hun
ger, feed him." Treat enemies as
brothers.
v. 21. "Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome evil with good" The
Christian policy is to fight evil with
good.

Lesson ~. W. { ~ lr,ss. e, |

Dynamic Christian Living, Ro
mans 12:1-21, for Sunday, Dec. 27
This lesson is fitting summary
of the years lessons. The abun-
dant life, victorious living, spirit
ual power are the results of dy-
manic living which is the subject OF
today's lesson.
v. I. Il beseech you, brethren,
by the mercies OF God, to present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service" God can have
chance with us only when we
place ourselves unreservedly at his
disposal. The Creator OF the uni
verse functions as Creator in our
lives when we fully surrender to
him. This relationship is sacred
one.
V. 2. "And be not fashioned ac-
cording to this world, but be ye
transformed by the renewing Of
your mind, that We may prove what
is the good and acceptable and per-
feet will of God" Material inter-
ests must not dominate us. An i'm
portant step in the dynamic life is
to have an open and teachable mind
to know and perform the will of
God; in performing the will of God
there will be found proofs that
Gods way is the best way.
v. 3. ''For say, through the
0rooo fhof uoc oiuon mo fn ouoru
man that is among you. not to
think of himself more highly than
he ought to think; but so to think
as to think soberly, according as
God hath dealt to each man meas
ure of faith" Paul proceeds with
humility to teach others, the prop
er attitude for every Bible teacher.
Man is naturally proud; pride is
cancer in the soul eating the very
vitals of the inner life. Each man
needs to take a sane view of him
self.
v. 8. "Let love be without hy-
pocrisy. Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good" Pure
affection is rare. Hypocrisy goes
with hate and not with love. One
can judge himself by watching his
reactions to evil.
V. 10. "In love of the brethren
be tenderly affectioned one to an
other; in honor preferring one an
other" 1t is manly to have an af-
fection for the children of God to
the extent of giving them nrefer-
ence. esq
". II. "Not slothful in business,
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord"
Absolute honesty in all business
ought to be the rule. TO be fervent
in spirit is to have spiritual glow.
Serving the Lord is to please him in
thoughts and by deeds.

1t may be of interest to some of
our readers to know how to find us,
or where we sleep-when we sleep.
If you come, ask George Kenney. If
you can't come, call George and he
| will tell us. He is the man who
writes the ad that is masterpiece.
| You should read them even though
you can't come to the store. Don't
forget to call him if you need us.
He may sell you a quarter of beef, a
pound of pepper, dozen pig feet,
or gallon crock before you hang
up, which will partly pay him. for
the bother. Don't forget to read
his ad.
Sunday we walked out to see the
sick and cripples On our list. So far
we haven't a very big list. At the
Nettie Robinson home we found her
better than on a former visit At
the Ad Gooding home we found Ad
in good spirits in spite of the fact
he suffered bad injury to his hip.
In our rolling last week we had
dinner with Everett Price and fam
lily of Deerfeld.
w. T. Henderson, of Meigs, who
has been on the sick list for some
time, has not been so we'll lately
We received a card from Carl and
Mildred Whitehouse, Normal, ILL.,,
then later we learned that relatives
had received word that Carl was on
the sick list. Here's hoping it was
nothing serious.
Word has been received that Lyle
Carnes, Bristol boy in the service, is
in Alaska. While Alaska is part Of
the U. S. A., it is good piece from
Muttonburg.
We might say to those of our
readers who missed us last week, we
got rolled out-but no bones were
broken.
We spent a few minutes at the
T. f. Sines home. We found our
friend Byanthia Baker, who suffer-
cd broken hip, some four years
ago, still unable to 60 on the trot,
as she did previous to the injury
Santa Claus seems to have got
our new address, as we have already
received more presents than we |
had even hoped for. May he be
nice to all of you.
AS We write this, our lifelong
friend and neighbor, Fred Brothers,
of the county seat, is critically i'll.
1t is thought their son, Everett, has
been sent to a undisclosed point, as
things he could not take over were
received by his parents, Saturday of
last week.
We are surprised to find how
many folks know how many SHOWS
we are going to have during the
season, and we can't tell how many
we have had-only we feel it has
been too many.
Don't forget to get your pup a
neck piece, or the d. w. will get
the pup.
Clyde Kincaid, of Kennebec hill,
who is employed at the Brown-M Man
ly plant, was suffering with lame
back when we called Saturday
night. At that time it had not af-
fected his speech.
At the Lewis Hogue home, Penn
township, we found one of the boys
chickenpox.
We are sorry our schoolmate and |
lifelong friend, Walter Campbell, is
having trouble with his eyes.
Prof. e. E. Roberts, of Bethany
college, West Virginia, is spending
the holiday vacation with his moth
er, Mrs. Lou Roberts, route one.
Sorry VIM. Cannon, of Otho, has
not been so we'll.
Some folks worry about the in
come-some like your scribe about
the outcome.
We knew a man who after read
ing the Bible once, was so busy
practicing it's teachings he didn't
have much time to read any more.
