"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.

DR. 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.

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! Xo more
