Bible School Sunday, November 1 1th "The Christian Citizen" f Gal. .5:13-20. . ol , j The designation "The Christian Citizen" is applicable to all those who are nominally Christian, not only church members, but living in lands j prey to the "lust of the flesh." Un that have a government founded on ( less "the old man" is crucified, there Christian principles, on dictrines and will be a constant warfare within. precept3 lcid down by Jesus Christ J paul here enumerates a list of sins what kind of people they ought to be j that are prevalent in one form or an- what kind of conduct should the other and show their power over us, non-Christian world expect of them? This opens a great Held of conjecture, but in the light of our scripture text, it assumes definite and concrete form. Paul, writing to the churches in Gal atia, a people of Gallic origin, living in the heart of Asia Minor, was prom pted to give them advice in righteous living because of the michevious work among them of Judiasers, who tried to bind the Christian churches in the old fetters of Jewish ceremonies, urg ing the necessity of not only circum cision but all forms of "sacrifices" from which the death of Christ on the cross his attonement for sin made r.nce for all, had freed religion. Paul had preached the simple gos pel of justification by faith in Christ, and as soon as he heard of these troublemakers, lie wrote this "Epistle cf Freedom," which Farrar calls the Magna Charta of Spiritual Emancipa tion. These people were liberated by j faith in Christ from the law, and as freemen must now make the proper use of this "new freedom," but let the "Law of Love" be the rule in ' their lives. Jesus said: "If the son shall make you free, ye shall be free, indeed." (John S:32-36). When a soul accepts the call to Christ, he accepts a call to perfect freedom. All chains fall from him, his prison doors are flung wide cpen, he laapj forth into the open air. Put liberty does not involve license. Freedom from the Mosaic law i;; not equivalent to freedom from jnoral law or constraints. "A busy American once talked to tne about having cne of his clerks I bring up his letters to him each Sun- j mendous transformation has to take day morning, and asked if I would place in the heart of men, to be chang call him a Sabbath-breaker.

HAMMER VISITS SCHOOLS Dr. Irwin Hammer of the Muni cipal University of Omaha spent Monday afternoon visiting the Platts mouth school system. He visited all of the departments and expressed high commendation for the fine qual ity of work that the teachers are carrying on. Dr. Hammer held a teachers' meeting in the evening and discussed some of the current meth ods in education. Dr. Hammer spoke In the evening at the Woman's club meeting. This was the opening part of the educa tional week program for the Platts mouth schools. During the wee!; each department is making some ob servation of this week. The rumor of Babe Ruth's engage ment as manager of the Athletics had all the qualifications for a fine hot stove league story except the minor element of truth. :o: Last year the homicide rate in the United States was the highest of any country in the civilized world," says the Indianapolis News. "Civilized" meaning, in this case, nothing more than that part of the world in which vital statistics are kept; a somewhat primitive form of civilization. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. sources. There is a safe w.ay, a jGctthpleasing; way, a pleasant. way-and that isto be .guided by the Spirit, which is an ab solute necessity if we shall not fall a unless we are led and guided by the Holy Spirit. Fifteen are listed and more could be added. This shows us that life is no child's play, but that it takes all the powers of mind, soul and spirit to steer clear of them, be cause if we should be so unfortunate as to be snared by one of them, we would lose our inheritance in the kingdom. A spirit-filled and spirit led Christian is of inestimable value to God and his country. The best Christians are the best citizens. What characteristics do we seek in a good Christian and citizen? The lessen points them out manifold is the fruit of the Spirit. Anyone professing to be led by the Spirit and claiming to be a follower of Jesus and who has no love for God, his word, his service, his fellow-men, has' neither seen nor known God, for jGod is love. And what about "Joy" in his soul? The Psalmist had it when he rejoiced and with a happy heart exclaimed: "Bless the Lord, O my j soul; and all that is within me, bless ! his holy name." (Ps: 103:1). Isaiah knew cf thi3 "jcy" after his purifying I rnd cleansing (Chapters 6, 7) and ! when he was clothed with the trar- i mer.ts cf Salvation, he says: "I will j r-rpntlv roiniro in tiio T nr,i mv cnni I shall be joyful in my God." (Isa. 61 10.) He has "peace" in the soul that manifests itself in living peaceful persuits, that abhors war and i3 sub jo: t to the Prince of Peace. Kindness, goodness, faithfulness and meekness are his handmaidens. To produce such lives is the work of the church. We see what a tre- whole - heartedly believed. Millions now living can and do testify to its renewing power, how it has changed individuals, communities, nations and continents. Its power is not waning. Where men yield to Its drawing pow er, they soon come to realize that it is a!mo?t" irresistable. What a glor ious v.or Id this would be if all men v.culd work in the Spirit!
