Golden Text: James 1:12. reminds us strongly of the Sermon, on the Mount, that sublime ex pression of the Master’s wisdom. And because it is so close to Jesus it breathes the air of democ racy, for our Lord, to whom the common folk listened gladly, waa the greatest democrat who ever and | lived. And how practical is its counsel! One of the most helpful practical books in thq New Testa ment is the epistle of James, prob- jSuch mysteries as the incarnation, ably written by James, the brother | the atonement, the trinity are »not of Jesus, who was the leading man discussed at all. • James is inter in the Jerusalem Church. He was ested in right conduct. A lover called “James the Just,” and, ac cording to tradition, died a martyr, even as did his brother the Saviour. It is clear from the picture we get of him in the book of Acts that he of the law, he insists upon the im portance of works. James wants his readers to be doers. Righte ousness is his passion.
