Second Timothy, 4.6-1%. Golden Text: I have fought-the good fight, 1 have finished the course, I have kept the faith.— Second Timothy, 4.7. BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON.

In our lessons we have | traced the career and sought to un- derstand the secret of his personality. power and persistent energy, enthusi- asm and earncstness.

From j that moment he was obedient to the; ! Master, and lived and labored to ad- { vance his kingdom of God among men !until he finished his course.
