PEN JABS Rev. F. A. Conners, Flint, Michigan Humility is the gateway to glory. 3(S**** He has no right to preach who has no love to practice. $$ *% * Grit and Grace are thé two essen tials for success in life. . . . . . These are days of choosing between popular things and pious things. He who receives scars for Christ here shall wear stars with Christ here after. 4:H*sfc♦# The predominating question of the day is not “Is it right?” but “Will it pay?” . . . . . If men were half as good âs they ought to be, they would be twice as good as they are. The greatest opportunity . for real victory comes' with the strongest oppo sition in a righteous cause. Many professing Christians seem to be desirous of fulfilling the Scriptural injunction, “Crucify the flesh” ; but they are disposed to practice it on the other fellow. *$4c* Two classes of men are largely responsible for the conditions that exist today: the politicians and the preachers. The former for what they have done, and the latter for what they have not done. . . . . . There is no winter in the heart, Where God’s own Son is always shin ing; But nothing good will ever come, To him who always is repining. “THE CONFLICT” Our good friend, Dr. T. T. Martin, of Blue Mountain, Miss., has just launched a new periodical, called “The Conflict,” for the purpose of fighting the teaching of evolution in tax-sup ported schools. “The Conflict” will undoubtedly have a large circulation in the South and will be a real asset to those who are seeking to defend our young peq- ple from the destructive evolutionary teaching. Dr. Martin, who is also Field Secre tary of the Anti-Evolution League of America, is a red-blooded fighter and we bespeak for him and for this new venture the hearty cooperation of Christian people. 5000 ^YORKERS WANTED to sell B ibles, T estam en ts, good books and handsom e velvet S crip tu re m ottoes.

OUTLINE STUDIES IN THE BOOK OE JUDE (Continued from page 215) Jude charges the ecclesiasts of his day with perverting fellowship, bely ing their profession by immoral ways, bringing reproach upon the church and leading others into the same evil prac tices. In the love feasts (the Lord’s Supper) they mingled without fear of God’s judgment. They had no regard for the poor (Ezek. 34 :2 ). While others fasted, they feasted. They were “waterless clouds,” i. e., there was no blessing in their lives for others. They made a promising pro fession but a poor performance. Their deluded followers spent their money for that which was not bread (Eph. 4 :14 ). They were “fruitless trees”-—spirit ually dead (Eph. 2 :2 ). The real pro fession is possession, and true believ ers are pictured in Psalms 1 and 3. They were “raging waves”— like the troubled sea (Isa. 57 :20 ). They crept into houses with blatant lies about God’s Word, destroying souls with their lewd licentiousness. They were “wandering stars”——false lights blazing for a moment and dying out quickly (Isa. 3 :12 ). They loved darkness, leading others to the pit of blackness and eternal darkness. To them is “reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” (Next month, “The Coming of the Lord to Execute Judgment,” vs. 14- 16.)
