There is no such thing as
pure chance; even chance is
ruled by law.-John 1:3: All
things were made by him,
and without him was not
anything made that was
made.
Evil at long last is over

Let every soul be subject

there is no power but of
god: The powers that be are
ordained of God.

history asserts. was the author
of the Ep!s-.e Of James, He was
not among the Twelve Apostles;
IN fact. We are told in John
7.3-5, that the brothers Of Jesus
did not believe in Him But aft
pr His crucifixion, they joined
the Christian company Acts
Ia. anc two books OF the ne"
Testament, James and jude,
.re associated with brothers OF
the Master.
James is Mentioned by Paul
II Corinthians 15:O as among
those who had a vision OF the
Risen Christ. He became a
great power in the church at
Jerusalem, and, far from beng
in anv way opposed to Paul
the two had been in close tel
lowship, as may be seen by rel
erence to such passages as
Galatians 1:18-19; 2:l-l0; ana
Acts 15:4-34; 21:18-l9.
What leads, perhaps, to SO
much emphasis upon the Eplstle
of James as an epistle OF
s.works" is the fact that there
is no elaborate doctrinal discus
SONS and expositions, as IN
Paul's writings. But, as he APP
pears in Acts Is, he shows him
self to be like Paul in the APP
prehension of the meaning OF
C~Nrstian faith.
len we think of James as
the leader of the Christian COM
munity we can see him much
, as we would see the wise pastor
of a church, dealing with his
people according to their needs
and conditions, rebuking laX1ty
and un Christian attitudes and
~ tempers, commencing the right
way and defining it SO that
none might miss its meaning.
By the time the Eplstle Was
written, the Christian communl-
ty had grown enough to present
new problems. The imam with
the gold ring" was typical OF
some of the well-to-do VINO had
been drawn to the Christian fel-
lowship, and James found it
necessary to remind the Chris
tians that God was no ~respecter
of persons. Likewise, when he
saw Christian duties and oppor-
"tunities for kindness being neg
1ected, he gave the great, prac-
teal definition of pure religion
in James 1:27.
Both the world and the church
need a lot of this Epistle today,
