Wh’le a great victory has been won in securing the Eighteenth Amendment it must, the Committee says, be home in mind that the real fight has but begun. Prohibition must be enforced. It has never had a fair trial. A sympathetic political adm nistiation :s essential to that fair trial. The Committee on Message to sities, human limitations^ bodily ail- j whom was referred various resolu tnenls, and ultimate death. Unlike others, they have security, sonship, serenity, and strength in their unique position in Christ Jesus. This position is not entered into by all who call themselves Christians, but it is the right, the privilege, and the glory of all who have been “horn from above” and have been made “partakers of the divine nature.” In the second place, there Is the strength of protection. Our strength grace and future glory. The world ! does not recognize this, hut God does. It is His Grace that gives this position before Him: Grace fathomless as the sta, Grace flowing from Calvary. In this position, with all that It In volves, there is strength to stand the strain, the pressure of the daily round and the common task; strength to run with patience the race set before us, ‘looking unto Jes' s.” Christian be lievers who are instructed in the Word of truth, make very much of this posi tion in Christ. Like others, they are at present subject to physical neces- stnother version puts it, “the grasp <*.* His mightiness.” There is a measure of help and strength In a child's grasp of a father’s hand, hut much more strength in the father’s grasp of the child’s hand. What strength then must there he in the grasp of His mighti ness ! The powers of darkness cannot pluck us out of His hand. “Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor prin cipalities, nor powers, nor things pres ent. nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall he able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our the marriage relation and intended it to he indissoluble. Moses did not originate it or authorize it, but suf fered. limited and regulated it. The reason Moses even suffered it was be cause of the hardness of the hearts of the people. The existence there fore arid practice of divorce indicates the coarseness and perverseness ot man. The real cause is sin. There is no more real evidence of the blighting effects of sin in the world than the increasing number of di vorces. 2. Marriage God’s primal law (vv. 0-8). The Ideal law of life for the sub jects of Christ’s kingdom is mar riage. This is proven by the funda mental fact of sex. “God made them male and female” (v. G). The union of the male and female natures is physical, mental and spiritual. In marriage the male and female na tures are mutually complemented. “They twain shall be one flesh, so that they are no more twain, but one flesh.” God’s plan Is that man should not he without the woman or the woman without the man (I Cor. 11:11). ,‘i. Marriage has God’s sanction (v. !»>. When God created Eve and brought her to Adam He performed the first marriage ceremony and de clared that man should leave fathej and mother and cleave unto his wife. “What therefore God hath joined to gether, let no man put asunder.” 4. Marriage of the divorced forbid den (v. 10-12). The marriage relation should only he broken by death and sin. In re sponse to the request of the disci ples for further irformatlon He de clared: ' (1) “Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her.” (2) “If a woman shall put away her husband and marry another she committeth adultery.” II. Concerning Children (vv. 13-16) The union of the male and female natures, according to God’s primal law of marriage, lays the foundation traffic (including net only those who „ f f aTn n v nf e> ?- ne normal issue cf make and sell, but those who buy; such a union is children.

Christian men and women will regard children as the property of the Lord and will esteem it a high and holy privilege to train them for Him. Observe: 1. Children brought for the touch of Jesus (v. 13). It is incumbent upon all parents to seek for tliqir children personal con tact with Jesus. 2. The parents rebuked by the dis ciples for bringing their children (v. 13). They seemed to think that atten tion to children was beneath the dig nity of Christ. 3. Jesus’ reply (vv. 14, 15). He was displeased—really indignant at their words. He Is displeased today over those who are hindering their children from coming to Him. (1) “Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God” (v. 14). The kingdom belongs to the children. (2) “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter therein" (v. 15) Those who count themselves morally helpless, and cast themselves upon Jesus Christ, the King, really enter the kingdom. ^ Jesus’ action (v. 16). He took the children up In His arms, put His hands upon them and blessed them. Christ is the Savior of children. Where Christ’s spirit rules, childhood Is sacred and chil dren have great care.
