ThUi our entire race came under the lntiu ence of the darkness of sin and doatli. whicii has lasted for 0,000 years. We have the promise of a glorious morning when Messiah shall reign, When Batan shall bo bound for a thou sand years, when "tho Hun of ltight eousness? shall urls<^ with healing in His beams." God's promises respect ing it are figuratively called "light," and these constitute the liible. Light R?prov?s Darkness. * There are not many light-bearers in the world. Tho census reports 400, 000, 000 of Christians; but, alas, tho vast majority give no sign of ever hav ing seen the true light, and many of those who did receive it hid It Surely it is as true today as it was in Jesus' day that a very small number of humanltyr-eomparatlvely, have the true light These are very precious to the Lord. He calls them His saints, His Jewels, and tells us that at His second coming, prior to tho setting up of His Kingdom to rule the world, they shall be gathered to Himself: "Thon Bhall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father" (Mat thew xlil, 43), scattering all tho dark ness and miasma of sin, sorrow, Ignor ance and superstition. When the Fa ther shall give these the Kingdom (Luke xli, 32), as Joint-heirs with their Redeemer, the Prince of Darkness will be bound for a thousand years. In today's lesson tho Apostle is ex plaining tlie responsibility of these light-bearers. They represent God in this dark world; they represent His Justice, Wisdom, Love and Power. They are not able to let all of this glorious light shine, but they can do much to bring in a twilight to some. These are not expected to convert the world, but to find a sufficient number of similar charactors to com plete the foreordained membership in the Bride class. Faithfulness and zeal in this service will determine whether or not they will be worthy a place in the Kingdom and, if worthy, how high an honor J We must "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." How searching! how positive! More than this: we must not be content with a negative opposition. However wisely we may seek to fulfil these requirements, they ore sure to bring the enmity, disfavor, disappoint ment of many we love. But as good soldiers of the Lord Jesus we must be loyal. lie that Is ashamed of the Master and His Word and the prin ciples for which lie stands, of him will the Savior be "Ye ore the Ughi of ashamed. th* world." EvtdoDtly the Apostle does not mean that wo shall undertake to reprove everything out of accord with the Divine will, be cause he mentions the things to be re proved, saying, "It Is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them In secret"? uncleanness, Im pure practices, etc. We must manifest our disapproval wheh we are In close contact with such things. It may not mean that we shall pub licly denounce the evil, but It surely does mean that onr lives shall be so contrary to all sinful and Impure prac* tlces that all may take knowledge that we hare learned of Jesusl " Walk Ye Circumspectly. In view of these things, said the Apostle, the followers of Jesna should be wise* redeeming the time, purchas ing It beck from worldly care* and pleasures, to have the more to ose In the Master's service.
