A free study class BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP— II Corinthians, 8:1-9:15. Golden Text.—First they gave their own selves to the Lord.— II Corinthians, 8:5. Our lesson has been selected from the epistle that has been called Paul's autobiography. In it he answers the unjust charges and calumnies and in- sinuations that had been made against him by his enemies, in an impassion- ed defense of his spiritual life and services. ~Although Paul detested ego- tism, he was ‘“compelled” to cite his own courage, manliness, self-sacrificing zeal, and his sincerity, as an all-suffi- cient vindication of himself and to demonstrate the disinterestedness of his motives and ministry. When we review his cxperiences, that he harrates in this epistle, written to crush the dangers that he saw existing in the Corinthian church, we marvel at his heroic self- devotion to duty in a manner that ap- pears t5 have been almost superhuman. Paul had been charged with being dis- loyal to his nation and hostile to the mother church in Jerusalem. His in- tense interest in promoting a collection for the relief of the destitute members of the Jerusalem church was a practical answer to that false accusation. In the former letter the apostle had tried to place the need of the poor in Jerusalem upon their hearts and sought from the Corinthian church a generous offering to help assist the relief work of the Jerusalem brethren. Early in the his- tory of the mother church they had adopted a common treasury, that has been the inspiration of every Christian socialistic movement, yet it did not ppear to be a practice that commended self to the other churches. Possibly 2y have been due to their common that provided for the poor, that sed a state of poverty in the alem church. It may be that its osition and the persecutions through which it had passed may have caused the need of an_offering that Paul stressed among all the churches, that he established among the Gentiles, as a token of their Christian fellowship. When he fought for religious liberty for the Gentiles at the council in Jerusalem, the apostle had promised the brethren in the Jerusalem church that he would take up a collection among the Gentile converts to assist the mother church in its relief work among the poor. Grace of Giving. Grace in the New Testament is “God's unmerited favor.” He showed us His grace in the gift of our Lord and Savior dying upon the cross. We have an evidence of His ablding grace in the presence of the Holy Spirit, who came with power at Pentecost, and the result of His working in the development of Christian character, life and fruitage by His revelations of the grace and glory of the Lord Jesus. The overcom- ing of the natural love of the human heart for money is due to the work of God’s grace. There is much giving that is of a selfish character, but the giving to those in need and out of love for the Lord Jesus, without hope of return, is a product of the grace of God working in the lives of Christians. Paul used tact in presenting to the wealthy Corinthians the generous giv- ing of the poor members of the three Sunday School Lesson had promised to pay the previous years, but had fallen behind in their giving through failure to. follow the system of giving regularly, proportionately and systematically upon the first day of the week into the Lord’s treasury the amount that they had agreed to donate to His cause. Christian organizations should be as careful in handling the funds of the Lord as men under bond |or governmental supervision. Paul | feared that the effects of the year's difficulties had interfered with the proper discharge of their duty as stewards. Difficulties among members does not free one from his duty to Christ as a steward of His funds. We reap what we sow. Stingy and scant giving will be seen in our life and work. Our best gifts will not compare favorably with God's gifts to us. Let us give in a manner that will be praise- worthy of His gifts to us. Let our stewardship be faithful, based on the Scriptures, shown by setting aside a definite proportion of our income, and placing it in the Lord's storehouse for the upbuilding of His kingdom and the relief of distress among not only His followers, but all peoples and na- tions. The honor of our church, the glory of our Lord and our fidelity as stewards is involved in our giving. Let us consecrate ourselves first, then all that we have, can be and possess Will be used for Christ's glory. Let us show the freedom of our stewardship by our gifts of love and service for others in His name. Bible Questions Of the Day By Harlow R. Hoyt. PAUL AND THE CHURCH AT CORINTH. Questions. 1.

The Judaizing party gained control of the meetings where Paul appeared and he was unable to attain his object. 5. Paul left Corinth and went to sus, Ep&‘.‘eAt ‘Ephesus Paul wrote his epistle to the Corinthians and gave it to Titus to deliver. 7. Things in Ephesus rcached a state where it was advisable for the mission- ary to withdraw. Macedonian churches. He did not make any demands upon them to give on the basis. of ‘his authority, by his citing of how the members of the churches in Thessalonica, Berea and Phillippi gave generously, far beyond their financial resources. 'Their spontaneous sharing out of their poverty he cited as an en- couragement_for the Corinthians, who were more able to make generous gifts for the Jerusalem poor. Riches breed indulgence, and sélf-indulgence has a tendency to develop selfishngss. The gifts of the Macedonian Christians were 50 generous that Paul hesitated about taking them. He found the source of their generous giving to be due to their consecration of themselves first to the Lord Jesus. They recognized that if Jesus had died for them and they had given them- selves to the Master, then all that they had belonged to Him. We withhold our hearts and our lives from the Lord, when He longs to bestow the richest blessings of life upon us. Paul cited the example of the Savior, who, “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” "Love that springs from our love to the Master is the source of our missionary work. It moves. us to give to the relief of Porto Rican Christians today, just as it influenced the Corin- thians to give to the relief fund for the Jerusalem church. Stewardship’s Spirit and Standards. Paul placed the privilege of giving upon the members of the Corinthian Church upon the basis of their love for Christ. This he knew would prompt them to share with all other Christians in their hour of need. The condition of the poverty-stricken believers of Jerusalem placed a moral obligation on the Corinthians for assistance. Paul did not doubt that they would recog- nize that duty, but evidently he feared that one result of the contentions and divisions within the church would be a decline ‘in the amount that they would give. While Paul does not refer to quota, apportionment or tithe in this letter, he pressed home the obligation to give as the spirit of God's grace moved them, There is a danger in making the tithe, apportionment or quota the standard that the real spirit of stewardship may be weakened. These should be the minimum that an individual or a church should give. A friend in making a generous offer to a pastor of another denomination than his own was told that his gift indicated that he was a tither. He answered, “I am, but that dpes mot come from any tithe. Long ago I learned that I did not commence to give until I had paid my tithe. That is a gift.” A year previous the Corinthians had indilcated their willingness to give and Paul was seeking to promote the spirit of stew- ardship by speaking of the example of the Macedonian Christlans and the Lord Jesus. He urged that the gift should be - individual and from the heart, saying, “Let each man do ac- cording as he purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or of necessity, For God loveth a cheerful giver.” He called upon them to show the proof of their love. Our giving is an indication of our love, loyalty and life meets every Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. 8. To Macedonia, where he met Titus. 9. Titus informed Paul that condi- tions at Corinth were improving and that the congregation was working in ison. 10. The second epistle to the Co- rinthians. EVANGELIST TO REMAIN.

It hints of romance, of adventure and of intrigue. No place in all the ancient East stood out so brilliantly and so splendidly. But the modern city, still walled about with its ancient fortifications, has little in common with the city of Alladin and All Baba. These ancient heroes of a glorious age would recog- nize still the narrow streets, the tomb of the lovely Lady Zobeida, favorite of Harun-al-Rashid, and many of the mosques; but many of the older palaces al shrines and monuments have fallen in decay and only their ruins remind the passing traveler of the glories ot the past. Like most cities of the land of Ma- homed, Bagdad is characterized by its many mosques; their gilded domes and needle minarets punctuate the skyline quite as sharply and as strikingly as do the skyscrapers of a modern American city. For there are over 67 mosques in Bagdad, many of them as hoary with age as any of the medieval cathedrals of Europe. Of these, the Mosque of Sheik Abdel Kadir is one of the most famous; not because of its size nor because of the lavishness of decoration, for in both respects it is hardly superior to others in the anclent town, but because of the man for whom it is named. Patriot, pholosopher, teacher and poet, he was beloved of Islam and revered during the many years in which he labored for his country and for his religion. He died 900 years ago, but his memory lives 1 REGISTRATION NEAR JEND ATY" SCHOOL Additional Students Enrolled Monday Night Eligible to Credit Awards.
