Luke 2:41-52; 2 Pet. 1:5-8 After four lessons in Christian principles fellowship with Christ Prayer and Bible study and Chris tian standards of life we come now to a lesson on progress in all these matters. Life is essential to growth; Jesus paid: "I am come that they might have life, and that thev micht have it more abundantly." (John "I give unto them eternal, li f -4 (John 11:23) This life must be nourished; the means of grace must be used to make progress. Church going is one of the great stimulants to growth. Here instruction, advice and warnings are given what tc do and what to avoid of things that may further or hinder growth. Jesus shows by his example how to improve the time while in church, listening and asking questions, there by growing in wisdom. Church-going cannot be started too early in life. Jecus had attended the Syna gog School for seven years, now he was promotod to the higher and deep er studies in the scriptures which revealed God and hi3 will to man. Jesus was far ahead of his class and years, because he had applied him self diligently to his studies. Many men could know more about God end his purpose with men, if they would devote more time to reading and study of God's word. And God has promised to aid and help. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God . . . and it shall be given him." (James 1:5). Jesus was found in "the midst of teachers" that is where his heart was, in a place where he could find'; out all about his Father's business. Ke had no inclination to idle away his time, he "improved the time,"j niuue use oi me opportunity nis de sire was so great to learn, that he forgot to go home and thereby caus ed his mother some anxiety. If all Christians would follow this example, we would have a very high' standard of intelligence among its. members, it would be a great pleas ure to preach and teach. The spir itual growth would soon manifest it self, in more diligence in seeking the lost and kingdom building. I We do not find many worn out Bibles but many worn out cars Why? The child Jesus is our best example in studying God's word he knew the scriptures and knew how to use them the proof See answers to the devil and his enemies. No wonder he "advanced in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and men." A study of the second part of the lesson text shows us "a chain" made up of additions, no link can' be left out, to complete a perfect character. Peter's epistle is an exhortation to purity of faith and to growth in the Christian life. 2 Pet. 1:14 seems to be an allusion to the apostles ny- preaching martyrdom, in which casej the letter was written from Romej VISITS IN THE CITY Mrs. Mary II. Robinson, of Fre mont, arrived in the city Saturday evening to enjoy a visit with her son, Andrew Robinson of the Journal force. Mrs. Robinson has been at Omaha attending the district teach ers convention and took advantage of the occasion to come to this city for a short visit with the son and family.

The Asiatic Gen tile Christians having escaped from heathen foulness and having entered the divine life, they are now to go forward in it with hearty zeal, "Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence." Sloth has no part in the Christian life. We must press on earnestly if we would be "perfect and entire lacking in nothing.". James 1 : 4-). No lazy man need apply to become a Christian it is a warfare, a race, a watchful wait ing, no sleeping (Matt. 25:5). No laying down the armour, till the bat tle is over (2 Tim. 4:7). Now add to faith virtue, that is. right conduct. Faith apart from works is dead. (Jos. 2:16). Belief and trust must spring up into life, must blossom and bear fruit in beautiful and strong deeds. "Precious" as faith is, we cannot stop with it: "The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace." (Gal 5:22,23). "Knowledge" is another link in the chain. Understanding, implying in sight, circumspection, discretion, dis cernment. We must know "what the will of the Lord is." (Eph. 5:17) be fore we can do it perfectly; and we go on in a virtuous life, we shall add constantly to our knowledge of God's will. Christ said: "If any man will-, eth to do his (God's) will he shall know of his teaching." (John 7:17). "Self control" is adding another link to the chain, is growing anothei cubit. Know more of Christ, and you will know more of yourself and be better able to guide yourself. No one can control himself but Christ in us can. "Patience" is a rare fruit. Im patience brings much trouble in our life. Haste makes waste. "For ye have need of patience." (Hebr. 10: 36). "Run with patience the race that is set before us." (Ileb. 12:1). Patience which trusts God wholly that will bear the test of adversity, believing that God is love, and that love never faileth. "Godliness" God-likeness, is both the test and outcome of patience. "Brotherly Kindness." Our atti tude toward Cod. our love of God soon reaches out toward our brother Christians, "for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, can not love God whom he had not seen." (I John 4:20). Now add Love and the chain is complete. This is affec tion that reaches out beyond oui Christian brothers and takes in all mankind, reaches upward also tc God; it is universal love the crown and apex of our Christian addition. Perfect in love, and the soul has reached the state of perfection of which Jesus spoke (Matt. 5:48) "lie ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is per fect." Will there be an end to Chris tian growth? No! "But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the Lord. (2 Cor. 3:18).
