How can we best f ght enemies around

Are there any left in a renewed man?
Doesn't Paul say "Likewise reckon ye
youselvea dead unto sin. etc ? TVell how do
we reconcile that with the etruRgle
Ini-
piled? Old Adam Is only "reckoned" dead.
If he were really dead no reckoning would
be needed. Judicially he Is dead in all who
ara Justified by faith In Jesus. All who are
bom of God get his nature. Tha Holy
Ghost la the agent who does the work.
Tha Father and Son have committed this
part to Him. As soon as It Is dotie. the
person is Judicially holy. Objectively he
Is faultless lJude U. God does not take
away all of tha old nature. The tendency
to go wrong remains. We therefore have
two naturea. A wordly man haa only one.
Of tha renewed, Paul says "The flesh
lusteth against spirit and tha spirit against
the flesh. These are contrary the one to
tha other." Hence the battle and our duty to
overcome. The marvelous promises nerves
for the fight. The assurance of mighty
help gives courage. In Roman's 7, we find
the struggle very vividly described. "For
we know that the law la spiritual, but I am
carnal, sold under sin. For what I do. I
allow not. For what I would, that I do not;
but what I hate that do 1. If I then do
that I would not, I consent to the law
that It ia good. Now then It Is no more I
that do it, but aln that dwelleth ln me.
For I know that ln me (that ln my fleah)
dwelleth no good thing. For to will Is
nreaent with ma; but how to perform that
which 1 good. I find not. For th good that
1 would. I do not. but tha evil I .would
that I do. I find then a law. that
when I would do good, evil la present with
me. For I delight ln the law of God after
tha inward man; but I see another law In
my members, wearing against tha law of
my mind, and bringing me Into csajtivity
ty the law of Bin, which la ln my member."

His wife stopped playing hall wh Woof
Woof, the collie, lornr enough to smile In
nocently and Imjulre n childlike accents:
"I'o vou think I'm volatile?"
"Somet'mes I think vou are the most
lightheaded person I ever knew." replied j
the Hoss. severely. And then, as If to
soften the blow, he added
"A cer'ain Infantile gavety la undoubt
edly one of woman greatest altrsctlons
and you posess It In a marked degree
Hut there are times end occasions which
require ser ous reflec'ion Pupposo when
ou are writing out your New Year's reso

any you will resolve to be a little mora
aenous about serious thlnss "
A gleam tig-tagged through the lady's
clear brown evee like a atidden flash of
heat l'ghtnlng across a smouldering sum
mer sky.
Then her ae and her tone grew dan
gerously meek.
"I think It would be very Interesting."
she said. "If you would tell me nil the
ways In which I could Improve myself. I
know you have sn ideal woman, and that
I fall far short of her In many wavs But
tell me. won't you, how I can he more
like her? For Instance, what New Year s
resolutions would you advise a woman
to make If she wsnted to become her hus

The Bos glanced across the table sus
r1clouly, but the eye that met his were
steady and humble nd affectionate.
"Tou're all rlirht," he announced mag
nanimously. "I wouldn't ask for my monev
back even If I thought there waa a chance
of my getting It. But there are some
ways ln which the wisdom and experience
of a man who haa knocked about the
world may be of use to a woman particu
larly an unsophisticated woman like your
aelf." Now to apply the word "unsophisticated"
to any woman under to Is In itself an in
sult, but tho unknowing Boss blundered
right along.
"If I were you I'd resolve not to be quite
so confldentlnl with women In general.
They don't understand It or appreciate it."
"Certainly not." hla wife assented, "hut
they think it'a a pose and ao that makes
It tha moat effective of disguises. What

"Number 2." answered the Ross with a
promptness that Indicated clearly he wss
not Improvising reforms. "Voncema the

solemnity, "that a clever speech about a

No great big hats, no purchased hair"
Yes, I agree at once to that,

But ths was tco much for the Bon'

"Now that you've told me all my faults."
she exclaimed exrftedly. "I'm surprised
that you ever wanted to marry me. 'Light

"There, there, bahy." ejaculated the
Boss soothingly, "you should take my sug
