TEXT—That henceforth we be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doc trine, by the sleight of men, and cun- ninpr craftiness, whereby they lie In wait to deceive.—Kph. 4:14. I charge many men who write books and deliver addresses today with . gambling and pro- moting gambling on matters of the soul’s eternal in terest. The word “sleight” in our Scripture for to day is found no where else in the New Testament. It means a cube for gaming—the dice if you please. Sleight of men is then the dice ot men. Of course there could be no dice of God. But men are mentioned inasmuch as men’s dice-shaking is* .so opposite to God’s truth-giving. AH the venture, all the gambling,, characterize man’s effort; all the surety, all the fact, character ize God’s revealing. Man left to him self will not and cannot rise above the sphere of the gambler on the sub ject of God and tiie soul. And he will either accept God's revealed gospel or risk the gambling. j Gambling only for gold is furious. The hand of the gambler shakes be tween persistent idleness and insist ent demons. Its possessor hates in-; dustr.v and dares deviltry. But the moment you rise to matters pertaining to the soul, gambling turns its hack on the light and prefers to risk tin* dark. There is* in it the will to try out the dark. As if nothing had been said or done, nothing commanded or , promised or provided that is positively cure, all is tossed forth as a risk and its pet word is luck. Priceless jewels! What of them? Toss them forth as* if | valueless. This is the practice which ; for centuries has revealed man's folly. ! Old Testament transgressors. New , Testament sinners, and men ever since have dared the risk. What, at the best, is each and | every theory announced today thai discounts God’s Holy Word, hut this dice-shaking of eternal values? Ids , belief, unbelief, and denial of the g*»s- I pel of the grace of God unto salva tion, will each reach the same fool- j hardy risk. Their captives are ever ! being tossed about with every wind of false teaching. Whether it comes ; from pulpit or publishing house ii 1 cheapens everything. Yonder, at Cal- j vary, they who cast lots for .Jesus' I garments at one moment have set Him at naught in another noment. A mess of pottage for a birthright must rank as better rating than this madness of the gambler. The fact is. he tosses j his own responsibility with the dice. Every act and word recorded ot Jesus makes manifest the noncom 'putable value of the soul. And all Is a fervent pica for sureness. The spiritual gafnbler makes Go<! unknown if not unknowable. Ever sought hut never found! Ever sought as though never revealed! I-ahorn- tory, spiritualism, materialism—all gambling as if God did not live Splendid tbe exception when the man : in the laboratory knows God ! Truth, it makes dead. Seeking smdj striving for the ultimate but never reaching it, the poor mourner in deep; sorrow cannot he comforted. Oh , that he would hear my Saviour’s; words: “I sm the Truth.” Of course the spiritual gambler’s 1 way leads to immorality. Why, it is' in itself immoral. You are compelled to class the unbelieving with the drunkard and the liar. The extent to : which the immorality may issue awaits opportunity or temptation. Morals are precarious enough with any man, but with the gambler they are positively unsure; even in more manifest conduct. Now, there is God’s word. There is 1 no tossing to and fro there. That word is “Yea.” There God is known; not only known about. There, truth is personified. There, risk is swallowed up of faith. There, whosoever will can know. There, the entire price of deliverance from the heartless risk is paid. There, purity of heart is as sured. And it Is eternal. “And hereby we do know that we know Him.” “Hereby know we that we are in Him.” “I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth hut becaus'e ye know it.” “Heiv- by know we the spirit of truth and tin* spirit of error.” “These things have 1 written unto you that believt on the name of the Son of God, thai ye may know that ye have eternal life.” This one may glean (and much more) from the First Epistle of John ; and observe, it is the very opposite o! ihe dice-shaking. It is the know-Go ol tiie word of God. Our Conversations In speaking of the Winsome Stran gcr that joined the three on the way to Emmaus, Doctor Chappell drops a remark which we all would do well in heed. He says: “Their conversation was of such a character that Jesu> Himself could enter into it without embarrassment. All our conversations are not pitched on so high a plane.” ' Lesson' (By REV. p h K!

GOLDEN TEXT—Be thou faithful unto death and 1 will give thee a crown of life. PK1A1ARY TOPIC—Saul’s Cruelty to Christian People. JUNIOR TOPIC—How Saul Perse- auted Stephen and Others. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Is Conscience a Safe Guide? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Stephen's Influence on Saul. I. Saul’s Training (22:3, 4; 25:4, 5. 9-11. 1. Taught to love his own nation (v. 3). He declared. “1 am a Jew.” Saul was a strict Pharisee. The Pharisee* were the nationalists of their day. Be ing a strict Pharisee he was there fore a patriot. Those who are Intel ligentiy loyal to their own nation can most effectively help others. 2. Taught to love God’s law (v. 3) ‘‘Taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers '■ Love for the Bible is a valuable asset in life. To be destitute of love and reverence for God's Word is to be out on life's ocean without chart or com pass. 3. He was zealous toward God (v. 3). His heart and soul went out to ward God with great enthusiasm. The root meaning of tiie word “zealous” is “to boil.” It means a passion for God and His work. It was zeal for God that made Saul think of and plan for His work. H. Saul Hears the Voice of Jcous (Acts 22:9, 10). It was while on his way to Damas cus with authority to arrest and im prison Christ’s disciples that lie heard a voice from heaven saying. ‘‘Why persecutes! thou Me?” It was Ibis sight ot the living Christ thai wrought ihe change iti Saul. III. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious (Acts 20:9. Hi). In his conscientiousness lie opposed Jesus, for he regarded Him as an ini poster. Saul is to lie commended in that lie responded to his conscience, but he is condemned for his attitude toward Jesus. Conscience is the law of life for every man, bur it needs to he regulated by God’s Word. IV. Stephen's History (0:1-15). In order to understand the signiti ennee of Stephen’s martyrdom, a s.\n tlietie view should be obtained of Ids life. I. Chosen ns a deacon (0:1-7). He was one of tiie seven men appointed to look after the temporalities of the church. 2. Why Stephen was opposed (0:8-15). In his work of charity lie restilied of Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit wrought miracles. These mighty deeds aroused tiie people. The following features characterized him: (1) Wisdom. He was a man of com mon sense. (2) Uraee. He had a beau tiful character. (3) Power. He had the ability to do wonders and great signs, and he spake the truth ot fectivei . The men who opposed him were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake Not being able to withstand him, they arrested and brought him before rim great com oil. Even here they could not silence him by argument, so they decided to do it by violence. V. Stephen’s Martyrdom (7:54-09) Stephen made a magnificent defense before the council. This he did b\ iracing the history of Israel from ihe call of Abraham t6 the crucifixion ol Christ. His aim was to show that God had never been localized and that tie temple was but a small part of God's plan. He did not speak against tin temple, but showed that God did n. t in tiie full sense dwell in it at a!:*, time. This contention he proved fnm Scripture (Isa. 01:1, 2; J Kings 8:27) In his conclusion he declared that tie Jews had always resisted the Holy Spirit. Now their stubbornness had reached its culmination in the betrax al, rejection and murder of the Son of God. This charge cut to the he.-tri His arguments were unanswerable In this hour of trial God gave him a wonderful vision. He was permitte*- to look into heaven itself where h beheld the glorified Son of man stand ing at the right hand of God. VI.
