Oalatians 5:13-26; Romans 13:1-14 Golden Text—“Be not drunk with wine, wherein is riot. but with the spirit.’— 5:18.

The struggle for “life Mberty, and the pursuit of happiness” had ita’ inspiration in the messages of the preachers, pastors, and priests who had imed the message of the Immediately following the celebra- tion of the victory at Yorkiown came the conference, ended during the past few days. beiween the Premier of France and the President of the United States, when they weighed the respon- ',‘!Ablhllu that each Nation faces In this hour to preserve the principles of freedom and democracy, that are be- ing threatened by the economic lnd‘ industrial condition that is filling all| nations with unrest. Liberty in the | personal and political fields has obli- and responsibllities which | must be met, if “Preedom, Equality land Justice” are to be preserved men. In passages, selected from Paul's Jetters to the Romans and the Gi tians, we find how in the apostle’s | teachings to these two different races | and churches, the ambassador of the | Lord Jesus sounded not only a personal | call for the preservation of their indi- vidual spiritual freedom. that bad come to them through God's .grace, but a trumpet call for their observance of their social and political duties. These ges are Cfllxpllmenhry. and em- phasize “the essential characteristics of Christian liberty.” Christian Liberty. Paul evidently had been aroused by the news that had reached him con- cerning the influence of “false brethren” among the members of the churches in Galatia, a section of modern Asia| Minor. This fact is seen in the intense feell with which he writes to them. ‘They had been made free through the blood of the Lord Jesus. Their personal | liberty was a spiritual one, that Paul saw was endangered by certain pro- | fessed Jewish Christians, who had been teachf them salvation by works so sul that some of the Gentile | were at the point of accept- 1 clrcumcision and complying with all the Jewish ritual and religion in every way. The apostle marveled that they had been swept so soon away from the .?el of grace that he had| eached. The teachings of the “false | thren;dw- e‘-;‘-er to Lhe:\rt old matn | ideals, a , they thought, support- ed by the teashings of the Old Testa- | ment. It was easler to grasp than the spiritual messages of Paul. The apostle saw the })ertl of their position and ap- led for them to preserve their Being born 8gain places uj every believer certain social and tical ob- | ligations. Some of the Galatian Chris- | tians interpreted their freedom from the ceremonial law as a license for them to do as they pleased. This made each believer a law unto himself and was the source of immorality. The second council in_Jerusalem recognized | this peril, just as Paul did, for it “warn- | ed the Gentfle converts that freedom | from the ceremonial law did not loosen | them from the bonds of moral charac- ter and conduct.” Liberty of the soul did not confer upon them any license Personal liberty did not allow them to do an that was sinful and de- structive the welfare of society. Christian freedom is controlled by love for one's brethren and the glory of the Lord Jesus. The possessor of this lib- | erty is moved by a fraternal spirit not to do anything that would be detri- mental to the spiritual life and charac- ter of those for whom Christ died. Life’'s Fruits, ‘The spiritual fruitage of one’s life is a revelation of one's character. Free- dom works both ways. The one that | sows to the flesh and practices what he | claims is his personal privilege and | right is apt to forget that his freedom ends where another man’s rights begin {In his selfishness such a person insists |upon enjoying his rights. His efforts to get the most out of life are usually seen in the “works of the flesh.” The list that the apostle sums up shows the lack of a true soclal spirit by the tween the flesh and the spirit there can be no alliance because they are antag- onistic one to the other. The one, whose life is controlled by the Spirit, is not under any law that compels him to Tegulate his conduct by rule. Soclety {has had to set up in self-defense laws against the works of the flesh, “which |are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witcheraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath strife, ‘seditions, Leresies, envyings, mur- ders, drunkenness. revellings and such " Paul says that “they which prac- tice such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." “The fruit of the Spirit is love. joy peace, long-suffering, gentieness, good- ness, ' faith, meekness, temperance against such there is no law” because filled with the Spirit and out of love for s the spiritual man crucifles the flesh with its affections and lusts These virtues in the life of any be- lever will bring glory to God and blessings to onc’s fellows. Paul puts intemperance is the lists of the works of the flesh. Men ma~ differ about the best way to control this evil, but none surpasses the Spirit in the life of a Christian. Intemperance is a class factor and breecs strife and evils that society has found it necessary to at- tempt to control. When Paul urged in !the golden text that the Epbesians “Be not drunk with wine, wherein is iot,” he based his appeal upon the act that the use of alcohol'c drinks was_destructive of personality.

The signs of the times in which we are living point to the rapid approach of the hour that the aposties called the Roman Chris- tians to look for, because the Master's return means the establishment of that day of universal brotherhood, cemented by love, which we all long to see estabiished amcong men.
