MRS DONALD GRAHAM i\ iiblr ilehituttnn Sister, when all our early chores are cared for and we have had our morning tryst with the Lord; and while we may have another cup of coffee, let us look at another portion of The Word - Titus chapter 2. Quoting from the pen of the late Rev. F. B. Meyer, "The supreme test of all Christian teaching and Christian work depends on whether they produce healthy characters, which are not contaminated by the noisome and germ-laden atmosphere around. Our teaching must be healthy and al so health-creating. There must be plenty of ozone (pure and refreshing a ir) in it. The Apostle's strophes are few but fine. In the briefest sentences he seizes the salient features of Christian character. The mature man - strong, calm, patient, full of faith and love. The mature woman - holy, reverent, beloved and honored, obeyed by the younger women of the same household or church. So also with the young men and women. What a life is ketched here against which the tongue of slander is dumb! But, after al l, these results cannot be realized apart from personal holiness of their minister and leader. His attitude to things which are questionable and doubtful must be decided not by his own predilections or f ancies, but by the consideration of the effect which his action is likely to have on the keen eyes that are carefully watching him. The servants addressed in this tender and priceless paragraph were household slaves, employed in the most menial drudgery, but they were taught that even they might adorn the Gospel as jewels adorn the brow of beauty. Their holy lives might display and set forth its loveliness, To please one's superiors, in all things so far as our loyalty to Christ permits, is to commend Chris t to our households, and win His approval. The grace of God has ever offered salvation, but in Jesus it was brought to our doors. In its first appearance, it came to teach; in its second appearance, it will bring us glory. Have we sat sufficiently long in the school of grace, that our gentle Teacher may instruct us how to live? It must be soberly in regard to ourselves, rig /1 teoi,sly toward others, and godly toward God. We cannot realize any one of these unless we resolutely deny un– godliness and worldly lusts. This was the aim and purpose of Jesus in con1ing to die for us, wanting to redeem us from all iniquity, purify us as His own, and use us in all manner of good works. It is a solemn ques tion whether that supreme purpose has been realized in our own experience. If not, why not?" 12 MARCH, 1971 Berean WMF Rally PI: JAL. - 1·11e Berean Woll" Missionary ·e1Jowsh1p will gathe the First Bapt1c;t Church, 31433 Street, Will ow1ck, Thursday, Mr 25. 1971 ( changed from March C off ee Time 9 :4 5-10 a.m. Mee 10: 00-2. 30 p.m. Bring your Sc wich, beverage, salad or relishes, , ~ sert will be furnished by host chu Opportunity for us to attend , of the fallowing Seminars in the af • noon session: "Evangelizing through your i sionary Society" - Mrs. J a1~ Andrews.
