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,

love. But as good
soldiers of the Lord

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*

In view of these things, said the
Apostle, the followers of Jesna should
