a vacancy on the Board of Deacons.

the past two weeks, on the Religious
Census of Blakely, and plans to give
The News an article next week con
cerning our increase in poulation and
the religious conditions in Blakely.
His work along this line has led him
to plan to speak at the morning hour
next Sunday on the theme: “It Is
Time for Us to Seek The Lord.”—
Hosea 10:12. For the evening mes
sage the subject will be: “The Light
That Failed”—using the parable of
the ‘foolish virgins’ in Matt. 25.

... LESSON...
THE CHRISTIAN IN GOD’S
KEEPING
Lesson for Oct. 10. Epistle of Jude
Golden Text Jude 21.
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
The short epistle of Jude is really
a pamphlet or tract whose purpose
is to strifle heretical teaching. The
obscure author pleads with his read
ers to cling tenaciously to the tra
ditional beliefs of the church, and
warns them against men who are
nominally Christian but really deny
the Christian faith. With graphic
eloquence Jude denounces these
imposters, sketching a dark picture
of their deceitful doctrine and loose
behavior, and threatening them with
the doom reserved for the blackest
sinners.
We do not know the precise time
and place of this letter. Apparently
it was written in Palestine, and
while no particular church is men
tioned, it seems clear that Jude had
in mind a definite group known as
Gnostics whose teachings flourished
in the church of the second century.
They held that God cannot be the
Creator of the world because matter
is evil, and that Jesus of Nazareth
was only a man whose union, for
the time being, with the heavenly
Christ was apparent rather than real.
The divine Christ, they insisted, did
not in fact suffer or die, but left the
man Jesus before the crucifixion. In
the practical realm of every day
living Gnosticism, generally speaking,
leaned towards asceticism, but cer
tain adherents defied all moral laws,
and it is these latter whom Jude is
most anxious to put to shame.
Who Jude was we cannot say with
any certainty. He calls himself “a
brother of James” and if James of
' Jerusalem is meant, then Jude was
also the brother of our Lord. But
the word “brother” may be an inter
polation in place of “son.” At any
rate it is evident that Jude was not
one of the primitive Apostles.
The letter contains little of high
value to the Christians of today with
the exception of the lovely conclud
ing doxology which, as Prof. Scott
says, is “perhaps the most beautiful
of all utterances of this kind in the
New Testament.”
MOODY-KEHELEY
The marriage of Miss Lucile

Tree Snake.
Certain tree snakes inhabiting east
ern Asia have the head produced into
a lanceolate form often grotesquely
patterned. The long bifurcated
tongue is so marked that when thrust
rapidly in and out it continues the
markings of the head and gives the
snake’s face the appearance of “tele
scoping” in a very startling fashion.
