... LESSON...
CHRISTIAN SPEECH
AND CONDUCT
Lesson for October 17: James 3.
Golden Text: Ephesians 4:29.
By REV. CHAS. E. DUNN
No writing in the New Testament
has inspired more contradictory in
terpretations than the Epistle of
James. It has been called the ear
liest of the New Testament books,
and while one group of students in
sist that it is nearer than any other
book to the real teaching of Jesus,
others have argued that it is not
Christian at all, but a Jewish tract.
Still others refuse to concede that
it is definitely Jewish, and call it the
creation of a Greek ethical teacher.
Who was James? The traditional
view is that he was James the Just,
the Lord’s brother, the Bishop or
President of the Jerusalem Church
who died a martyr. But the name
James was so common, and the let
ter is so silent about his identity,
that we are only safe in saying he
was a Christian teacher called James
who write his Epistle about the
year 100.
Luther contemptuously denounced
the book as “that Epistle of straw.”
No doubt he was irked by the fact
that James mentions the name of
Christ only twice, says little about
Christian beliefs, and seems, in his
disparagement of faith as compared
with works, to object to Paul’s
memorable doctrine of Justification
by Faith which Luther made the ba
sis of the Reformation. But Lu
ther’s dispraise has no merit. For
while James has little interest in
theological ideas, he is fully Chris
tian, as is indicated by the likeness
of his letter to the Sermon on the
Mount. And there is no attack on
Paul. With all that James says in
chapter 2 about the uselessness of a
faith without practical expression
Paul would have heartily agreed.
The letter abounds in moral in
struction of the greatest value, char
acterized by unusual common sense
and warm sincerity. Chapter 3,
chosen for our lesson, is a highly
practical discussion of the urgent
need for self-control in speech in
view of the amazing mischief for
which the tongue can be responsible.
METHODIST WOMAN’S
MISSONARY SOCIETY
Monday, Oct. 18th, at 3 p. m., we

ple’s Division, and by Miss Addie
