As they came up to the door on the third round, he guided her neatly into the small kitchen—a scant and Impov-,- erlshed relation to the kitchens Jerry had known—and came fe a stop before the bottles bn (lie rickety table.

The book of .Tames was written to Jewish Christians scattered abroad who were -passing through sore trials, and persecutions. The pre-cftnlnent aim was to show these humble be lievers how to live ; ln such trying, times. James recognized the difficul ties of Christian living resulting from the attitude of the unbelieving Jews, and knew also..fhe added difficulties of pride, Jealousy and cowardly compro mises which might spring np within. He showed that all these must be met with the realities which Inhere In-fhe religion of Jesus Christ. I. Receiving the Engrafted Word. <w. 10-21). 1. What Is the Engrafted Word? “Engrafted” means implanted. In verse 18 he speaks of having been be gotten by the Word. The figure la that of a -planting of the seeds of truths TliV Christian doctrines as con tained Jn the. Word, when quickened by the Holy Spirit result In regenera tion. The divine metliod of regenera tion is the preaching of God’s word made living and active by the Holy Spirit. 2. How the Word Is Received (v. 19). * (1) “Be swift to hear.” This means to be ready and eager to use every op portunity to get acquainted with God’s word. Obedience, to this Injunction will make one diligent In the reading of the Bible, and In attendance at thq church services where, the Word of God is beiqg taught. (2) “Slow to speak.” From what follows we Infer that this refers to re ligious controversies. It means that whether In the places of worship or in whatever circumstances, we should give respect and thoughtful attention ♦ o what onr Christian brethren are saying. \ . (3) “Slow to wratV’ Heated discus sions sometimes develop In our con ferences, even when we gather to con sider the doctrines of God> word. Sometimes one may even fancy that anger liTjustiflable. In such cases we should remember the injunction, be slow to wrath. • ■ 3. The Reason for Receiving the Word (vv. 20-21). ‘The wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” Angry debat ing among Christians never helped to gpake known God’s righteousness. Man’s anger springs out of the foun tain of hls depravity. Therefore Jta expression cah" only have a blighting effect upon {Jiose who listen, and even upon the speaker In Its reaction upon him. , - II. Coming Into Self-Knowledge (w. 22-25). Receiving the engrafted Word through swiftness to hear, and'^ebey- Ing Its holy precepts will result In that experimental knowledge of one’s self which brings true blessings. By "doers of the Word,” Is meant those who make obedience their habitual at titude. . ' The truths of God’s wnrd-wtii per meate their very life and be expressed In everything they do and. say. Those who hear and do not obey are self- deceived. Those who go through the form of religion without coming under Its power are likened to Jib’n who gaze Into the mirror beholding the natural face, and then go away and forget how they look. III. Purs Religion (▼▼. 2fl-2p. fcTiis means that those who have be come doers of the Word will in thHr outer lives manifest the following traits;: 1. Bridling the Tongue (v. 26). This means that they will speak with discretion. God gave man two ears and but one tongue. .The ears are exposed, but the tongue Is walled In by the .teeth. Just as the tongue ,reveals the condition of the physical system, so t,he use of the tongue re veals the religious condition. 2. Sympathizing With and Helping •Those In Need (v. 27); * The^wldow and orphan are the aym- explained A1 mee! who bftl » of Mplessness and need. Those who have trne piety will vlalt sneh and tender the necessary aid. 3/Keeplng Himself Unspotted From the World (v! 27). \ .
