"Jesus (A Great Christian
Leader)"
Jame3 1:1-17.
It has been quite difficult for
scholars to name of a certainty the
James who wrote the Epistle, as there
are four by that name in the Xew
Tettament. (a) James, the brother of
John; (b) James, the Apostle; (c)
James, the son of Alphaeus, and (d)
James, the brother of our Lord Did
Jesus have brothers and sisters? The
preponderance of evidence, however,
favors James the brother of our Lord.
We are dealing here with a character
that is ordinarily given little thought
and study, yet he helped by his wise
suggestions and clear judgment, to
shape the policies of the early church,
and guided the same into safe paths.
About 51 A. D.f when our lesson opens,
this James was recognized as the
he-ad of the church iat Jerusalem, the
leader of the conservative portion of
Jewish Christianity.
"Though not one of the twelve, he
tnjoyed, owing to his relationship to
our Lord, and his commanding piety,
almost apostolic authority, especially
in Judea, and among the Jewish con
verts." (Philip Schaff).
The ccmmr.h belief was at this time,
after the recorded events in Acts 10,
that the Gentles could be saved, as
completely as the Jews.
Rut a new and a very important
question loomed up in Palestine and
fcyna. Certain men came down to
Antioch Irorn Jerusalem claiming
that the Gentile could not be saved
unlcs.3 he submit to circumcision, ac
cording to the Mosaic law. This
caused quite a disturbance in the
church at Antioch. They sent a dele
gation, composed of Paul and Barna
bas, as well as a few other Christians,
to Jerusalem, to have thi3 matter
definitely settled. The scriptures
were on the side of those who insist
ed upon circumcision. If Paul could
plead that Abraham was justified be
fore he was circumcised, his antago
nist could say yes, but after justifica
tion the rite was devinely imposed.
The inference would be that the jus
tified Gentiles now in the church
should follow Abraham as an ex
ample and receive the same sign.
The problem was to save both the
liberty of the Gospel and the author
ity of the Scriptures. God's spirit
harmonized the two. (The proceed
ings of the first council of the church,
as found in Acts 15, must be stud
led). It was the wise counsel of James
that gave expression, and as a wise
leader, brought to a happy conclu
sion a very vexing and difficult prob
lem, to the satisfaction of all.
In his Epistle to the Jews, James
has rendered a very valuable service
Spidell; L. W. Scott vs. D. R. Thorn
ton; F. V. Howland vs. L. L. Mc
Carty. The committee urges that all en
tries get in touch with their opponent
and play as soon as possible .
HAVE INTERESTING MEETING
Tuesday the local Rotarians had as
guests a group of the high school
boys, this being a part of the voca
tional program of the club and In
which each of the boys was called
upon to give his desires in the way
of a life vocation. The boys were in
troduced by E. H. "Wescott, leader ot
the " meeting and responses were
given by Walter Sikora, Harvey Egg

HERE FROM. OREGON
Miss Marguerite Porter, well
known teacher and educator, former
Plattsmouth lady, is here for a visit
with the relatives and friends. Miss

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdcck. Neb.
to his people. Addressed to the twelve
tribes, it 13 the most Jewish writing
in the Xew Testament. If we elimi
nate two or three passages concern
ing references to Christ, the whole
Epistle might find a place in the Old
Testament, as far as substance of doc
trine and contents is concerned.
There is no mention of the incar
nation or the resurrection of Christ.
The word gospel does not occur in
the Epistle. Some great truths are
taught and valuable teaching is
found. Some of his statements are
difficult to interpret, but God's Holy
Spirit furnishes the illumination. To
"count it all joy" when fallng into
temptations, may be hard to believe,
but after the testing proving and
the victory, comes the joy of a good
ccnscience, a calm and peace. Dur
ing the testing period, we learn pa
tience, one of the greatest virtues.
Without patience, no achievement is
possible; with it, none may be dis
paired of. In lack of wisdom pray;
it can be had for the asking. Wis
dom is the best knowledge, usad for
the highest end. Asking in faith, not
"doubting."
Lack of faith is virtually making
God a liar. God promises to the
praying scul an- absolute sure an
swer. Then to doubt God's promise,
makes him a liar. ;
A doubt-minded man is unstable in
all his waj'3. He cannot bo trusted.
God wants rock-like men, who can
stand four-scjuarc to all the wind3
that blow. He wants men whose sym
pathies are unalterably with right
eousness. James has by close observation
seen the men ol! low degree exalted,
because he is a Child of God through
Christ; and he ha3 seen the rich
man's wealth disappear, like grass
and flower wither in scorching heat
like we have seen in the last four
years. Rich and poor are alike de
pendent on God. The man tested and
proven and found to be genuine, i3
promised the crown of life. The per
fect life, which God will give, is the
crewn we hope for. This life, the
life of Christ, endure3 for all eter
nity, and is a sheer gift of God; of
"the crown of glory." I Pet., 5:4; and
"the crown of righteousness." I Tim.,
4:S.
Whatsoever there is good and per
fect comc3 , from God he never
changes through the ages the same
yesterday, i today and tomorrow. The
greatest the best the most prec
ious and perfect gift has come from
above the unspeakable gift of God's
dear Eon, and with the gift of his
Sen, He gives you the gift of the
Holy Cpirit. To tiis inheritance
would James lead the church of
God. . . - '. '
