TESTING CONDUCT
BY ITS USEFULNESS

Lesson Text—Ezekiel 15; 1-6;

10: 6, 7.
Golden Text: By their fruits yc
shall know them.
The prophet Ezekiel, heard God's
question concerning the grape vine
that grew in that woods. When a
grape vine grew in the woods it
would not hear grapes. To hear
lruit it must he cultivated. The vine
that grows in the woods does not
even have any timber value. There
is no useable wood in it. So it is of
no use whatever. Here is a beautiful
comparison of a Christian life and an
unchristian. When the Christian cul
tivates wholesome influences he is
like the ivne planted in a vineyard.
The non-christian frequents the
woods of sin and if that influence is
not crushed the sinner will be
worthless so far as the favor of
God is concerned. If we are to bask
in the sunlight of God's favor we
must move out into the cultivated
vineyard. If a Christian life is to
count for the best it must take ad
vantage of every chance to improve.
We may be in the vineyard and yet
he in an unproductive condition.
This is a picture of the passive
church member who does not make
his church affiliation mean: anything
and often needs sbmeone to inform
the world whether or not he is a
Christian, if we are a Christian cul
tivated in God's vineyard we will
not need someone to tell the world
that we are a Christian.
After this beautiful picture of a
productive vine and an unproudetive
vine, Mathew prints in his gospel
another beautiful picture of the
consecrated Christian from his view
point. Both of these pictures are a
lesson within themselves of what a
real Christian is. Mathew describes
the Christian as salt that has not
lost its savor. Salt is used as a pre
servative and as such it is a valu
able article. The true Christian is
also a preservative for those with
whom he associates. A Christian can
not associate with his fellow man
without his influence for good being
felt. Evidences of his restraining
power will lie self-evident. The pas
sive Christian or the one who is
r Christian in name only, will not
have the outward influence that act
ive Christians enjoy.
Here the influence of environment
proves itself in many cases. If we
are exposed to a cotagious disease
we will contract it. In some diseases
after the disease has run its course
we are immune to future attacks.
Other contagious diseases may make
their attacks and not immunize the
patient. So with the disease will con
tinue to recur when we are exposed.
So with a corrupt environment. One
may become contaminated with the
germs of sin and will become ill
from the exposure. Sins are the in
fluences of them, may be such that
one's resistance will not overcome
an exposure. When this is the case
the only remedy is not to contact
them.
It might be hard to recognize what
i smeant by salt that has lost its
savor. Salt as we know it today, does
rot lose its savor. At the time of to
day's lesson salt was unknown in its
pure state. It was contaminated with
foreign substances and was used in
the impure state. When used the salt
was discarded from the foreign sub
stances with whjch it was contami
nated. This refuse was left behind
and of course, was not salty. Of

Path”, a play that was a sensation
nd rocked Broadway with laughter,
shocked New York and the picture
is a wow on the screen. It is dar
ingly different from Anything you

time lurid romance of a girl from
the wrong side of town fighting to
to tile right side of love, chained by
a family that will make you gasp.
Its human, hilarious and high pow
ered. Miss Rogers and Mr. McCrae
both render good performances, they
are supported by an excellent cast.

foot. With these facts in mind the
narrative is easily understood.
So in our Christian experience if
we allow ourselves to become con
taminated with the sins of the world
we will lose our influence for good.
We will lose our Christian savor and
will be as the salt that had lost its
savor.
A Light
We are told further that ye are
freshments which consisted of sand the light of the world. It is up to us
tea, individual embossed as to how much space we will light
up. If we put our light under a box
the light is still there but it does
no one any good. If our light will
not throw out its beacon rays into
the darkness of a sin-cursed world
then it is that it is not functioning.
So far as to be of any benefit to our
solves or anyone else. Alany times a
weary sinsiclc traveler on the sea of
life is in total darkness and is in
danger of driving his frail bark toift
landing on the rock-bound shores. If
a beacon light was sending its ruy
out over the wave the troubled sail
or would experience no difficulty

I cakes and mints.

steering his frail bark to a safe
landing.
This is a true picture of what we
can do by displaying our lights
where they will guide those on life's
highways.' We can display our light
candlestick where it can be
seen, and wherfc it casts its rays to
a weary traveler, who can make a
safe landing, or we can put it under
a bushel where it will not do anyone
any good. When one of the great
continental air liners is scheduled to
make a stop at a certain airport th
first thing he looks for is the port's
beacon light to guide him to a land
ing. Were it, not foe tae beacon the
great liner could not make safe
landing. Do we ever consider what
influence this small beacon
wields. The same thing holds good
with our lights. Ever, though they
be of small candle power they are
pable of fending out sufficient
light to guide lost ones safely from
the darkness to light.
Then let your lights so shine •'hat
te ywill guide others to a safe land
ing.
A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
“By their fruits ye shall know
them.” A gret.1 truth is expressed by
these words. And tree in an orchard
cannot bear good fruit without the
orchardist knowing about it. And it
is very like v thac the orchardist will
giue special attention to the tree
hat bars chn.ee fruit and fertilize it
that it may bear more fruit. In an
orchard there is likely to bo found
trees that do not bear any fruit. In
such cases what does the orchardist
do? He does not gi": it special ca r e
but usually digs it up by the roots
and destroys it. He will not even
allow it to grow with the .good trees.
If we produce good fruits inthe way
of good works we will gain God's fa
vor and will be aided by Him • to
produce still better fruit. If we do
not bear any good fruit, he is not
oing to keep us long, but will re
move us from among the good trees.
Do men gather grapes of thorns
or figs of thistles; even so every goo
or figs of thistles.; even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit, hut
the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil
fruit.”
There is a law of nature that like
produces like and it is as true as the
word itself. This law holds good in
the conduct of a human life. What
we are in life will hold good in the
influence of our lives. A barren tree
is not allowed in an orchard. Neither
is an ungodly life allowed in God's
plan of redemption .
A Test
What is the best proof of a Chris
tian character. The best evidence is
a transformed character. This always
follows a transfigured ideal. In order
that this transformation may be evi
denced there must be the miracle
elimination and the complimentary
miracle of incorporation.

YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE APPRECIATED
Three-Way Job!
A Word of Appeal to
the Citizens of Georgia
The wholehearted acceptance by your State
and local law enforcement officials of our co
operation in the campaign to eliminate the
relatively few retail beer outlets that are be
ing improperly conducted, has been splendid.
But that’s not enough. It’s got to be a three-
way job ... by the industry, the law, and you
... the public.
How can you help?
First, simply by refusing to patronize those
retail beer outlets that are flagrantly violating
the laws.
Second, by reporting to your local law en
forcement officials or to this Committee the
wholly undesirable retail beer outlets oper
ating in your community.
