With crisp, cold winter days
making hot drinks and spicy
cookies most appealing1, Walnut
Molasses Ears be pme a special
treat. . Few cookies can equal
their fragrance and flavor as they
como freshly baked, right out of
the oven. One of the favorable
points about these bars is that
the dough can be made up ahead
of time and kept in the refriger
ator to be baked on short notice.
When the youngsters come
home from school or play, these
delicious bars will quickly ap
pease their appetites and renew
their energy. Served with hot
coffee or chocolate, the bars pro

"Christian Consecration''
Phil. 1:12-26.
It is surely a fit closing of a
year's study that the student has
reached that point in his Christian
career where he is ready with Paul
to surrender completely, his all to
Christ. Of course such a life as this
lesson pictures cannot even be
thought of. unless a man is a be
liever in the Lord Jesus Christ.
So many get the impression that
a surrendered life, or a consecrated
lif. is one of severe restriction and
impoverishment, whereas the truth
is, it is the richest, fullest, deepest,
most satisfying life that any man
can over know.
To "consecrate" means to set
apart for a holy use; while "sancti
litation" means making fit for holy
use. In our lesson study of Mark
1:16-20. we see four Galilean fisher
men, set apart for definite Christian
service; then in Paul's Epistle to the
Philipeuus he shows how the great
est of all Christians manifested in
his own heart and life what a truly
consecrated person should be.
We note in the call of the four
fishermen the different types: Simon,
the impulsive and wayward, laking
the principle which masters passion
and makes it strong. James was a
poet, dreamer, attractive; while John
was quiet, retiring, unknown; An
drew was the "Finder;" he found
Simon Peter, his brother. That was
a great "find." A consecrated man,
but made fit on Pentecost, sanctified
for real service. All were busy men
wnen caiiea; no jazy man lias a
place in the Kingdom. These men
were called, not for a different sphere
of work, or to a higher plane of
living, but to "follow Christ," who
promised them that it they did, he
himself would make them what they
ought to be. "Fishers of men" is
what they ought to be. Andrew
brought Simon, John brought James,
Philip brought Nathanael. Have we
ever brought a soul to Christ?
Now we look to the Apostle Paul
fend see his devotion to the Chris
tians at Philippi. Lack of space for
bids an analysis of this letter. The
writer is in Rome in prison. By the
Jove of God that constrained him, he
does not find the prison dull, but he
finds time to write his Epistles, and
preach every day. so that he can say
to the church at Philippi. "Every
thing is turning out tine, the Gos

of a year ago is raising; the center
tip has been eliminated to give small

ents will have as an extra incentive
the chance to mar Tarleton's record.
A letterman guard, a center, and
a forward will form the nucleaus of
this year's club, with four squadmen
of last year and a dozen rangy first
year men.

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
virons are saturated with the Gos
pel; the enemies thought to stop my
work, but they just helped to spread
the work; timid brethren are becom
ing bolder to preach the word. Re
joice and - again I say rejoice with
me." That is the tenor of the whole
letter. The unselfish devotion and
consecration of this "firebrand" is
seen in every verse of the lesson.
Would to God that the ministry and
layety were so filled with the spirit
of Jesus Christ as Paul was. heaven
would rejoice and hell would trem
ble, and the Kingdoms of Earth
would soon be the Lord's. How many
men magnify, exalt, extol, glorify
Christ in their bodies? It is through
the body and through it alone, with
rare exceptions, that we can glorify
and bear witness to the Lord, by
speaking, hy writing, by doing things
to make others comfortable. "For
to me to live in Christ" no phrase
of seven words could be formed more
perfectly, expressing the ideal, and
the motive and the secret of Paul's
life than these. When a person is
able to pay what Paul has written
here, that person is everything which
the Lord Jesus Christ desires that
one to be.
The two carbon electrodes of the
arc lamp are brought into relation
ship, and the result is light of bril
liant intensity. These two terms,
"me" and "Christ" are brought into
relationship, and I become alive unto
God. This is the only contact which
justifies the usage of the term "life."
Paul yielded his body, his mind, his
heart, his time, his strength, his
affections, all to Christ, who filled
every one of them with devine
strength and purity. Consequently,
the more completely he served Christ,
the more satisfying his life became.
To die brings one into even more
precious relationship to Christ. The
fellowship with Christ which makes
life so blessed will then be complete.
Many are and many have lived this
joyous, happy life of full consecra
tion. Consecrated, Iord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them
move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my will and make it
thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is thine
cwu;
it shall be Th7 royal throne.

YEAR BE YOURS L. J. N.
