TEXT—God is light.—I John 1:5. is love.—I John 4:1:'. God Rev. John C. Page. ii i Among all th^ ob.leets of human knowledge possible to man, a true con ception of God is foremost in im portance. Our knowledge of God may be obtained from nature and the Bible. A knowledge of God derived from na ture only is insuf ficient to meet hu- . man need. In ad- L dition to the fact Mk a* God, the hu man heart cries out to know who or what He is. The answer to this cry is found only in the supernatural i revelation contained in the Bible. We may sing the praises of nature when the skies are clear and the storms of life are far removed from us, but when the shadows gather and the darkness falls upon us, the broken heart of man is not healed by the balm of nature. To the heathen world God Is a being of power and vengeance. To the cul tured Greek mind God stood for the forces of nature transformed into su perhuman men and women. To some philosopher^ He Is a mere'abstraction, but to the apostle who had known in .familiar qompanlon^hlp and reverent affection the Son of God, the Deity Is presented in the words of our text, “God is light," and “God is love.” No figure borrowed from the ma terial world could give the Idea of absolute holiness and purity so clearly and fully as light. In the physical world light stands for splendor and glory, in the realm of thought it stands for truth, and in the realm of morals it Indicates purity and holi ness. Light is self-revealing and is defiled by nothing. It is the condition of life and growth and beauty. It is the nature of light to communicate Itself with life-giving and purifying power and to pervade everything it touches. God is light, excellency without limit aucl without taint. No other figure could convey to the mind such a conception of the nature of God. Together with the conception con veyed by the statement that “God Is light," we need to consider the other statement that “God is love." The order in which these two appear is quite suggestive. First, God is light— then. God Is love. The one Is the complement of the other. When the Bible declares that God is love it does not mean that He is indulgent or tol erant of evil. Such a conclusion would be contradictory to the other statement that God Is light. He can not look upon sin or wrongdoing ex cept with disfavor, nor can He do any thing with our sin except to condemn and punish It. This was done at Cal vary. “Herein is love, not that we loved God. but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” The love of God is not primarily associated with His daily gifts which we receive and enjoy in the ordinary things of life, hut rather is associated with our redemption. In order to redeem us a propitiation must he provided. God’s acts are always consistent with His own nature. The requirements of His holy character and of His righteous law which we hatt broken could be met only In the pro pitiation that Christ made at the cross. What God’s righteousness required- God’s love provided. Too many people today dissassoci- ate these two statements of the nature and character of God. They empha size the fact that God is love to the exclusion of the other fact that God Is light. Not only are both of these necessary to right thinking concerning God. but the order in which ,they ap pear is also important. The atoning work of Jesus Christ finds its first and- greatest necessity in the holiness of God. That holiness required that sin should be judged, condemned and punished. This was done when the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. The One upon whom our iniquity was laid met every liability incurred in our transgression and discharged our obligations. As the apostle con templates this, he explains with won der and joy, “Herei» is love.” MASTER’S SALE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick, Court of Common Pleas.

(©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 4 Wh^re Duty Lies We are all preaching sermons to our fellows by our lives. And, per haps, those are the greatest sermons. A man who had made the great de cision for Christ once came to the late Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon, desir ing the great preacher to find him some church work. "What is your trade?” inquired the great preacher. “An engine driver, sir,” was the re ply. “Is the stoker, a Christian?” asked Mr. Spurgeon. “No,” responded the other, “Very well, then,” was Spurgeon’s characteristic rejoinder, “there’s your church work, brother!” By our lives we may commend our Saviour to those around us.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Jesus’ Call to Service. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Training of the Twelve. I. The Twelve Ordained (Mark 3:13-19). Jesus, knowing that His earthly career would be cut short, made pro vision for the carrying forward of His work after He was gone by calling and ordaining the twelve. Before doing this He spent a whole night in prayer (Luke 6:12). The burden of His prayer is indicated by what He im mediately did. From among His dis ciples He chose twelve, whom He or dained for a twofold purpose. 1. “That they might be with Him” (v. 14). * Fellowship with the Lord is not only the highest privilege of a disciple but the indispensable qualification for wit nessing for Him. Personal associa tion with Jesus Christ—the interaction of personalities—the impact of His personality upon ours is the essential preparation for Christian service. 2. “That He might send them forth co preach” (vv. 14, 15). To proclaim the good news of sal vation to the lost world was the su preme mission of the disciples. Their credential for this mission was the enduement of the power of the Spirit —“To heal sickness and to cast out devils' v (v. 15). Concerning those who were to be Christ’s messengers ob serve : (1) That twelve were ordained (y. 14). Tills was the beginning of the process by which the triune God was to make known His grace to the whole world, therefore He sends forth the number of men corresponding to that purpose. The number twelve Is the product of the heavenly three and the earthly four indicating the purpose of the triune God to reveal Himself to the four quarters of the world. (2) Their characteristics, (a) Men of average ability. They were not from schools and colleges, yet men of mental capacity and efficiency. This has been the history of the Christian church. Not many noble, not many wise after the flesh are called (I Cor. 1:26). (b) Middle ranks of society. They were,not chosen from among the rich, neither from among pauperi. The most efficient workers are those who are able to sympathize with the common people, (c) Diverse tempera mental gifts. They were so grouped as to have impulse and leadership— reflection and questioning went to gether, and among them were found men of practical business ability. II. The Twelve Ssnt Forth (Mark 6:7-13). 1. They were sent forth in pairs (v. 7). Two reasons may be assigned for this. (1) A cheering and comforting companionship for the workers. (2) Confirmation- of testimony. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established. Peo ple would more likely believe that which was verified by two. 2. Supernatural authentication of their mission (v. 7). He gave them power over unclean spirits. He en dued them with power to work mira cles, in order to demonstrate their divine commission. 3. Their maintenance (vv. 8, 9). They were to depend wholly for their support upon the Lord who sent them. Having received the message and the power gratuitously they were to give them out in the same way (Matt. 10:9). 4. Contentment with hospitality (v. 10). According to Matt. 10:11, inquiry was to be made upon entering a city as to a reputable place to stay. Upon being directed to such a place the missionary was to be content. 5. The responsibilities of the hear ers (v. 11). Judgment was ta be pronounced up on those who rejected their message. 6. Their message and work (vv. 12, 13). They went out and preached that men should repent. Matthew adds, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand” (Matt. 10:7). This means that the kingdom promised to Israel was at hand, that the Messiah was present and ready to set up His kingdom. In confirmation of this message they cast out many devils, anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. CHURCH CARDS Plum Branch M. E. Charge c?

The Gospel The Gospel is no Gospel if it does not turn the hearts of men toward each other, ns well as toward God. It is no Gospel if it does not unite all believers in wise, well-considered and earnest movements for the cleansinc of the world and the better ordering of all human life.—Charles Gordon Ames. Cows of low or medium production are not thought to reefuire so long a dry period as high producers. Such cows should be dry a month or six weeks, provided they are in a good state of flesh. Thin cows may need a somewhat longer period. High pro ducers may require two months or j more to permit them to get in prop-: er condition for calving. God’s Overflowing Love There is such a thing as putting ourselves in the way of God’s over- ! flowing love and letting ft beat upon 1 us till the response of love to Him conies, not by struggle, not even by deliberation, but by necessity, as the j echo comes when the sound strikes the rock.—Phillips Brooks.
