Is not Of faith; heV. biihngton
but, the man that doeth them
shall live in them.
Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made
a curse for US; for it is written,
Cursed Is every one that hangeth
on a tree.
The old Mosaic law taught us
an eye for an eye. a tooth for a
tooth, meaning that when We had
broken the law we must pay the
same. But one day 1900 years
ago the Lord Jesus Christ died
on Calvary,s cross and he fulfilled
the law.
No other man apart from Christ
Jesus who was the Son of Man
and the Son of God ever kept the
law perfectly Therefore when he
died on the Gross of Calvary as
We read in the 18th verse, Christ
has redeemed us from the curse
of the law, being made a curse for
us, which simply means that all
sin must be punished.
But Gods grace sent His only
Son to die for our sins and when
we by faith accept Him as our
Saviour We escape the judgment of
law and are saved under grace or
the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
My prayer is that you will trust
Him, Jesus Christ. for salvation,
and ask Him to forgive your sin
in His blood.

this subject which has vexed man
kind since the beginning OF history
At the outset, let us get straight
the fact that Jesus was drawn TO
this fine character, who had kept
the law of Moses from his youth up;
and that He was grieved when the
seeker turned away, unwilling to pay
the price of discipleship. Jesus had
regarded the youth as a desirable
follower.
Keen as was the young mans
zest for heaven and for spiritual
satisfaction, he yet priced his wealth
more. His first allegiance was to
his possessions. Seeing this, Jesus
imposed the test OF surrender
not because he wanted the mans
wealth but because he wanted the
man himself. There can be no di-
vided allegiance in the service OF
Christ. AS has been said, Christ
will not be the Lord at all unless he
can be Lord in ALL" Another saying
is, Personal conservation means
purse -and-all conservation" Or In
Christ's own words, "Ye cannot serve
God and mammon we may
serve God with mammon.
After the rich young man had
gone away, unwilling to meet the
test of remuneration which Jesus
had imposed, the Master turned to
His disciples in a discussion of one
of the great problems of all time
and never more problem than
today. Persons of wealth must read
with a sense of solemn awe His
words, "It is hard for rich man
to enter into the kingdom Of
Heaven" AS Scripture says, Love
of money is a root of all evil"
Commentators have tried to ex-
plain away the bit of Oriental hy-
perbole which the Teacher used
when He said, "It is easier for
camel to go through a needles
eye than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of God"
The Master used the extravagant
figure of speech, as He Himself ex-
planned, only to show that with
God all things are possible" 1t is
only by the mercy of God that the
rich man gets through.

Indiana Standard Oil
lis Accused by 0PA Of
Selling Above Ceiling
Fy the Associated press

Ey the Associated Press.
The OPA, in a suit which 1t said
may involve millions of dollars ;
has charged the Standard Oil Co. OF
Indiana with selling gasoline at over
ceiling prices and asked that the
company be required to cease all
gasoline sales 80 days after court
order or maintain proper pricing
records.
The suit, filed yesterday in the
Hammond division of the United
States District Court of Northern
Indiana, did not state the amount
of damages. However, Rae e. Wal
|ters, regional OPA administrator
said 1t may involve millions Of dol
lars since it alleges over ceiling
prices on gasoline, fuel oil and other
petroleum products throughout the
Nation"
The complaint contends the COM
pany failed to keep records show
ing the basis upon which it deter
mined maximum prices for its pc
troleum products since February 10,
1914, neglecting to keep them avail
able for inspection by the OPA.
1t also charged that since Sep
tember 16, 1942, the company has
sold petroleum products for which 1t
is unable to determine maximum
prices without making proper appli-
cation to the OPA covering this type
of sale. The regulation requires that
notice covering such sales be filed
with the OPA within Is days for
approval.
The company issued a statement
saying "this suit is based on a diff
ference Of opinion as to - pricing
law and regulations, adding Stand
ard Oil Co. has at all times endeav-
ored to obey the OPA regulations,
although this has been difficult in
some instances owing to the un-
certainty as to their applicability
