tation: Difficulty is sometimes
found with the verse in the
Bible, "Let this mind be in you
which was also in Christ Jesus" !"
philippians 2:5), and with the
verse, 1--WE have the mind OF
Christ" q Cor. 2:l6). How, is
asked, can we have the mind
of Christi" His mind was so
great, ours so small. His mind
was high; ours, often is so low.
All true. But the meaning is
much clearer in DR.. Goodspeed's
translation of Phil. 2:5: Have
the same attitude that Jesus
had. Let our aims and goals in
life be the same as those of
Jesus, who said, My meat is to
do my fathers will Let us have
the spirit of sacrifice which
Jesus had, who said, He that
loseth his life shall find it. =
The Devotional Reading for To-

interpreting spiritual truths to
