SbNlAYSnOOL By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 23 THE SPIRIT OF LIFE. LESSON TEXT--Romans 8:12.30. GOLDEN TEXT-As niany as are led by he spirit of God, these are the sons of lod.-Rom. 8:14. The connection of this lesson with .he others of the series is In the fact :hat this chapter is a panegyric re larding the spirit-filled life, the com ng of which we have so recently Itudied. Read prayerfully in this con iection Gal. 6:22, 26. We somehow eel that we ought to study this entire ,hapter rather than that portion as igned. The key to the whole is found n verse thirty-seven, "We are more han conquerors." If conquerors, how )e more than conquerors? Very aim 1e. Some victories leave the victor 50 exhausted that he cannot possess ior enjoy his victory; not so the spirit. Illed Christian for he is "more than .onqueror." Previously in this epistle the spirit s mentioned but once (5:5); in this 3hapter he is mentioned nineteen imes. Over what is the spirit-filled nan conqueror? I. Over the Condemnation of Sin, . 1. The spirit-filled Christian lives n ahother realm than that of the flesh (V. 9). The spirit removes us from ;he realm to that of the spirit. quick ming us (i. e., making us alive who were dead in sins) to condtamn sin in :he flesh and enabling us to "walk iot after the flesh, but after the spirit." 1i. Conquerors Over the Power and Dominion of Sin, vv. 2.4. While we still have the body yet it is our priv lege, through the spirit's power at work within us, to put to d eath its leeds every day and each minute (Gal. 5:16, 22, 23). To live otherwise s to displeasd God (V. 8). Those who surrender their lives to the control of he indwelling spirit are "sons of God" md therefore "free from the law of sin and death" (v. 2), for the same spirit that "raised from the dead" (v. 11) not alone makes us sons but gives us the same power. III. Conquerors Over Fear, v. 15. rhe righteousness of the law is ful filled in us "who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit" (v. 4) and having received the "spirit of adop tion" (I. e., being placed as sons) we cringe not before God in terror, nor call him a tyrant, or even ruler, but exclaim "Abba, my father." As "sonsf we are spiritually minded and have 'life and peace" (v. 6, Gal. 4:6). IV. Conquerors Over Suffering, v. 18. We are joint heirs with Jesus "if so be we suffer with him." Our posi. tion and heirship in Christ involves our participation in his sufferings (Gal. 6:17, II Tim. 2:11, 12, Acts [4:22). What we often call afflictions Ire only ,discomforts and frequently the results of our own foolish care essness. But as contrasted with his glory there is no comparison. Only uternity will enable us to comprehend what it means to be made perfect Lhrough suffering (Phil. 3: 10, II Tim. 2:12, IHeb. 5:8). If we are heirs of all God has and all that God is, we ire likewise an heir just as Christ is, and to the extent that Christ is an hseir and hence to his sufferings (we suffer with him) though we are even there more than conquerors for like uim we too shall rise triumphant 'over all things." V. Conquerors Over Vanity, v. 20. I'his glory is contrasted with the crea Aon now subjeet to vanity, but which is in ,degradation by comparison. The. areature (v. 21) (1. e., creation) was made subject not willingly but by rca Ion of him who subjected it in hope that the creation 'should yet -be do livered from the bondage to the prin Diples of death and decay into the glorious liberty, or the liberty of the glory, of-the children of God. Vi. Conquerors Over infirmities, v. 28. The believer's all-sufficiency and perfect security in tihe Lord Jesus. We nay not have all wve want yet we have all we need (Phil. 4:19). This suffici ency is in the privilege we possess in praying "according to the will of God" -wve know not how to pray as we cught but the spirit maketh interces sion for us (v. 26); so also Christ. "who is at the right hand of God," intercedes for us (v. 34). The spirit knows the mind of God the father, teaches us how to pray and at times places a yearning in our hearts too deep for our own comprehension. Even God must search the heart to know the mind of the spirit (v. 27) and in this God does "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or' think" (Eph. 3:20). Vii. Conquerors Over All Things, v. 28. The cirowning privilege the spirit filled life has, is in knowing- that all things work together for good and hence we are free from all possible anxiety of heart under any and all cir cumstances. Whatever comes to me is a part of his "all things" and therefore i should be grateful because the outcome will be good. We are not fore-ordained to salvation irre spective of what we may be or do but we are foro-ordained as believers "to be conformed to the image of his Son'' (v. 20). Thus those who becom. nandidates are tnnn. elected. NMcLAURIN Rf UPON W Commissioner Says That Only H vented South Carolioa From mendous Combine"-Wisi Columbia.-That the state cotton warehouse commissioner should be elected by the people and not by the general assembly is the most strik lug recommendation made by John L. McLaurin, commissioitir, in his an naul report which was sent to the general assembly. Among the suggestions made by the commissioner are: "I suggest an appropriation for cur rent expenses in accordance with the estimate furnished by the comptroller general. A large portion of this would come back to the state upon the collection of storage for cotton now on hand, and as pointed out above, I am convinced that during the following year the state can be reim bursed for the total amount expended on the system from the date of its inauguaration., "I suggest an amendment provid ing for the licensing of all graders in the state, and forbidding any person to purchase cotton, either for himself or as an agent, unless such cotton shall have been weighed by a sworn weigher and graded by a licensed grader." Under the title of "fighting the Sys tem," Mr. McLaurin says: "I have referred several times in this report to the persistent light which has been waged against the Bye tem. Its business success is now grudgingly admitted, uut the fight will never stop until the people take a hand. Hated by politicians, scouted by selfish interests, without adequate finances-that it has succeede(1. at, all demonstrates the soundness of its principles and the need of its exist ence. It was to be expected that in protecting the cotton grower the eys stem would be fought by those against whom lie is protectea, and for that reason, I have not been surprised or taker. unawares by the relentless warfare which has been made, some time taking the form of personal at tacks upon me. "The world ever seeks to prevent reform, by destroying the reformer. The rack, stake and cross through all ages, stand as mute signals of hu man progress. On the other hand the true reformer never fights individuals; he attacks systems. It is foolish to blame individual. I nave no fight on them, except as cogs in the wheel. They are merely symptomi of a dis ease in the body politic which only the surgeons' knife can eradicate." Commissioner McLaurin next charges that the spread of the ware. house idea In other States of the South These New Posi Try some fresh derful true corn flav< "corn 'lakes" you mn Notice the little that is distinctive; ah mush down, but kee There's a Roya Ne PORTS AREHOUSING Is Recourse to Publicity Pre Falling Into Hands of "Tre es Grading Standardized has been "viewed with alarm and the corporate interests which have fat tened at the expense of those who grow the cotton have waged a battle throughout the South such as only could have been waged by combined millions. "There is a tremendous combine in Georgia, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Alabama, seeking not only to concon. trate the cotton in Atlanta, but to parcel out the territory and fix the price. They are now invading the State of South Carolina to take the Standard Warehouse into the com bine. When I appeared before the legislature the statement was freely mkde to me that this was an effort to head off the recognition of the stor age of vcottgn through state ware houses. The success of this corpora tion movement will parcel out the cot ton territory and concentrate the money power, with the federal reserve system at its back, just where it has been since 1865, while the success of the plan upon which South Carolina is proceeding means the liberation of the people." Commissioner McLaurin next quotes from a call which he alleges was sent out by Philip H. Shaw to the shareholders of the Standard Warehouse of Columbia. Mr. McLaur. in says that the call was for the avow. ed purpose "of taking the Standard into a gigantic merger which is form ing." Concerning the alleged warehouse merger, Mr. McLaurin says: "Of course, the real purpose is I< crush out the state system, if possi ble, not for the credit which the hohld ers of cotton would receive upon th, receipts which would De issued by thi; monster merger, but, as explained ii Lhe following sentence in this propa ganda proposed by the gentleman fron New York representing the Northerr millions. 'It can not be doubted tha a combination of the Atlantic State and Standard companies for the pur poses which I am Plannlig would prc duce an enlarged enterprise w'hos earnings would exceed the aggregat earnings of the two existing compa nies.' It is very clearly and frankl stated." Continuing the commissiovier says "Of course the ultimate purpove loolk further than the profits from the sto age-it looks to the control of tl price to be paid for t entire crop The report says that the object c the state warehouse system is to el able the farmer to carry .the surplus for it is the surplus of any produc Toa!

I had not given the attempt the p-b licity which I did last fall, South Qar-' olina would have been in their hatt . now. This is really a violation of th Sherman anti-trust law, and of the codfi-* stitution and statute laws o( this - state, and the facts are sufficient for the government, both state and n - tional to take action. The next charge contained in tb*4 report is that Mr. Shaw met certian ' "Columbia gentlemen in Greenwood. It is significant that the daily press, carried no notice of this important conference, although doubtless they were well represented." Concerning the grading of cotton. the report says: "I earnestly recommend that yont, pass an act adopting the federal stan dards for the state at large, along the line of the Farmers' Union bill, which would give an edquate fund for the. employment of expert graders, which.' is totally lacking now, and which would amply protect the state, and not' the cotton growers over 4 millio dollars a year, which is now simply taken from them under the samp method as that employed by the oirdi tiary highway robber." The commissioner prints a number of letters in his report to show that the system has been of benefit to the. small farmer. The legislature last yOar approprt ated $15,000. To December 28 the commissioner had expended $12.123.2R The commissioner expresses the opinion that by the end or the pres e'nt year the warehouse system will 1e self-sustaining.
