Sunday. February 4. Come and worship with us. THE UNWRITTEN LAW By R. A- Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) To begin with, “there ain’t no sich. anermul,” as Senator Sorghum would say- This thing so-called is the crys talized conclusion that a man has a right to kill another, “in defense of his home;” and a mob has the right to commit murder when a woman has been “assaulted,” or when an unusual ly heinous crime has been committed First of all, a man cannot associate with a woman without her consent. Again, both are of age and both are responsible. Finally, there are a few men. if any, who have not at some time associated with some other wo-! man and some other man’s wife, and association with any other woman is breaking marriage vows. For a man to associate with another man’s wife is as bad as another man’s deed in as sociating with his wife. No man would concede that his wife had the right to kill him for his escapades with other women, nor would he deem himself deserving death for intima cies with other men’s wives- Under such circumstances there is no justi fication in killing for the same i crime of which the killer himself is 1 guilty. As to criminal assault, there are | few cases of such- It is the consensus of opinions that the number of such cases where women and men have been intimate, the men were accused through fear, jealousy, revenge or to save from what would be considered worse disgrace. As to m'-'b violence for any crime whatever, let it be re membered that we have laws, judges, courts and judicial procedure which make personal revenge inexcusable f LOOKING BACK By Videtta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) “0. she’s just a child. Nobody pays attention to her." This we hear sometimes when attention is called j to the habit of undressing little girls m the presence of others. Looking back. I remember that in other days a father wouM not perform delicate ! duties for his little girl. Little brothers and sisters were not dressed or undressed in the presence of one i another The other day. a father undressed his little boy fcur years old, right in the sight of his little girl, eight years | old.

N TEXT—Matthew 6:1-34. * I GOLDEN TECT-Seek ye first th« , kingdom of God ar.d his righ'terofsncss and all these things shall be added un to you. Matthew 6:33. PRIMARY TOPIC-Jesus Tells of, I God's Care. I JfNK .R TOPIC—In Ses.rrh of R . hes. intermediate and senior top ic—Serving One Master Only. ! YCK'NO PEOPLE AND A ' ALT TOP IC—Putting First Things First. Having set forth in the previous chapter the standards of the kingdom, Christ the king now exhibits the nn- ' deriving principles which control the ' subjects of tiie kingdom. I. As to Giving (vv.1-4). lining alms before men is not con demned as that would contradict Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek publicity in doing our alms is to miss the reward of the heavenly Fa-; thcr. II. As to Praying (vv. 5-15). i The spirit of Self-advertisement fre quently (li-qilays itself even in the holy ex rcise of prayer. In order to tor re this evil tendency he sets forth 1. False prayer (vv. 3, 7). This con sists in '■ a. Praying to he seen and heard of men (v. 5). Many of the prayers ut tered in public are false, for the thing | uppermost in the mind of the one pray ing is what the people think rather than what God thinks. ' b. Using vain repetitions (v. 7).[ This does not mean that we should} ask but once for a given thing. We have examples of both Christ and Paul praying three times t'or the same thing (Matt. 26: 39-46; II Cor. 12:7, 8). Ir, means rather the using of meaningless repetitions, 2. True prayer (v. 6). Since real prayer is a transaction of the soul with God, there should be a real de sire for fellowship with him which moves one to meet him in the secret ; place. 3. The model prayer (vv. 9-15). This involves a. Right relationship—“Our Fa ther” (v. 9). Before one can pray so as to be heard he must, through the • regeuerating work of the Holy Spirit, ( become a child of God. b. The right attitude—“Hallowed be thy name” (vv. 9, 10). While God is our heavenly Father he is more than j that. He is the Almighty. We should! go before him then with reverent adoration. c. A right spirit—“Give us this day, our daily bread,” “Forgive us our sins,” “Lead us not into temptation” (vv. 11-13). Those who would pray effectively must have such faith as I would trust him for daily bread, and ' such love as would forgive those sin-1 ning against them, and such hatred ! of evil as to desire not to be led into i} temptation. III. As to Fasting (w. 16-18). The true reason for fasting is to be found In the opportunity it gives fo* a clear vision of God. IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv. 19-24). The Lord knew the temptations which would befall his children In ther pilgrimage and the anxiety to which they would lead; therefore he set forth the proper attitude toward earthly possessions. ' 1. The nature of earthly riches (tv. 19-21). a. They are uncertain (vv. 19, 20) .■ Earthly treasures corrode, and may be taken from us. b. They are seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceitful (Matt. 13:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, bnt when earthly treasures' possess us they become a snare un to us. i 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22-24). a. They blunt the moral and spirits nal perceptions (vv. 22,23). Thosf who become enamored with the thing! .of the world soon become irresponsiv f to spiritual things. b. They render service null and void (v. 24). As soon as ore s heart Is stolen by riches, he is unfitted for spiritual service. V. As to Faith in the Heavenly Father (vv. 23-34). j ! L Be not anx'ous about food and clothmg (vv. 23-32). To oe filled with anxiety concerning food and clothing a. Shows distrust of God (v. 30). b. It is useless (v. 31). Anxiety brings us absolutely nothing. c. It Is heathenish (v. 32). Those who know Gcd as the loving Father will be free from anxious care. 2. Be sincerely anxious to seek the kingdom of God and serve bin (vv. 13, 34). This means that world af fairs should be subordinated to spir I tual affairs. I ! ir.cn there. How could the father j expect either child to have any de | gree of modesty? Modesty is the protecting wail around the citadel of virtue, and any i thing which makes breeches in this wall will endanger the citadel- It seems strange that parents who were themselves reared in the con servative way should be so careless I in such things. “This is the age of frankness and reality” they tell you. But toe much frankness of that kind is destructive. Better go back to modesty and its kindred virtues. WAIT By R. A. Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) V> hen you have done vour part Despite your anxious heart, Tho recompense be late. In hope and patience, wait. If zealously you’ve wrought, Or valiantly have fought Failure to obviate. For consequences, wait If honestly is due More than is granted you, Rail not at biased fate. But bide your time—just wait! • So, you will find it best. Matters not what the test, Purpose to consummate, : Just patiently to w-ait! I AM'S OF JESUS By Dr. A. G. Bearer (For The Literary Service Bureau) I am the true vine—John 15:1. The chief lessons taught by this expression are the delicate and ten der relationship between Jesus and His followers, *and the utter depen dence of the branches upon the vine According to Jesus, life depends cn I connection with the vine The pur j pose of correction or chastisement is to increase fruitfulness. This abiding j two-fold, the believer abides in Christ and Christ abides in the be liever. When the purging fails to promote fruitfulness the branch is cut off. allowed to dry, then is cast into the fire and burned. The summary might be Christ the true vine is the source of all spirit ual life- From Him the believer draws spiritual sustenance, his meas ure of peace and joy. It is his privi lege to abide in the vine and have life, or let the connection be severed and die. And the success of Chris tian fruitfulness or achievement ^ hangs ever on his connection with the : vine- This is set forth emphatically by Jesus in the expression “.A» the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, ex cept it abide in the vine, no more can ye. except ye abide in me-” i 4 _ Me^xie Miller Writes (For The Literary Service Bur-au) Sick Widow “Living With” a .Van— This Is Her Means of Support— She’s a Christian (?) and He's a Sinner—Better “Snap Out of Sick Widow" Before Something Hap pens.’! (For advice write to Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau. 516 Minnesota Avenue. Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply, send postage.) Maxie Miller:—I am a widow wo man and in poor health. I'm a church member and a Christian, but I’m too weak to work and make a living. Xw, I’ve been living with a man that is a sinner. First. I was just cooking and keeping house for him, then he asked me to live with him. Sometimes this thing worries me because the man is a sinner and I’m a Christian. But I can’t leave him because I haven’t got a home and no way to make a living I don’t know if I’ll get w'ell or not. and I don’t want to die living this way. What can I do? Tell me.—Sick Widow. Sick Widow:—You know what to do- Pou know your life is wrong. You are a Christian, are you? Fun ny kind of a Christian you! Better take a good look at yourself. If you have any kind of faith you ought to believe God will not allow you to starve, if you do right. Better starve and die right than run the risk living as you do- Better snap out of > >ivk widow, and do it “right now.” SEWING OF ALL KINDS Luna McDonald j WEbster 1-25 2215 V 27th S. f f _ _ _ — - - "REVEALING" PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE •• Sv' AfiCE' WALLACE-— ((ou^qesf men fa 1*3+ Anet'.cjn J- M.
