JUNIOR TOPIC—The Visit of Nlco
deraus.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—What It Means to Become a Chris
tian.
TOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—The New Birth.
The subject of the conversation with
Nlcodemus was the new birth. This
topic had peculiar significance In the
light of Nlcodemus' station In life.
He was a learned rabbi, a doctor of
the law and presumably a man of
good character. His coming by night
Indicates his timidity. Like Joseph of
Arlmathaea he was afruld to openly
espouse the cause of the new Teacher
of Galilee lest he be put out of the
synagogue.
I. The Necessity of the New Birth
(vv. 1-7).
It Is not a mutter of choice ns to
whether one Is to be born again but
of necessity If he Is ever to see the
Kingdom of God. Regeneration Is the
first demand the Gospel of I’hrlst
makes upon men. The reasons for this
are:
1. The Kingdom of God Is n spirit
ual Kingdom; therefore there must
be a spiritual birth In order to enter
It (v. 3). As we enter the physical
kingdom by a natural birth, so we en
ter the Kingdom of God by a super
natural birth.
2. The nature which we get through
the natural birth Is radically and es
sentially bad. Christ declares that
that which Is born of the flesh Is flesh
(v. 6). In Galatians 3:19-21, Paul
gives a catalogue of the works of the
flesh. The flesh cannot be Improved
(Jer. 13:23). Culture and educate, do
all you please, and It still remains
flesh. Furthermore, In order to enter
Into the kingdom of heaven there must
be a nature fitted for heaven. There
Is nothing that can be substituted for
the new birth. Men are trying to sub
stitute morality and education for the
new birth. Nlcodemus possessed these;
yet Christ declared that he needed
something more. Regeneration Is the
act of God through the Holy Spirit
which quickens a man from spiritual
death and plants within him God's
own nature (n Pet. 1:4).
11. The Mystery of the New Birth
(w. 8-13).
Its process Is mysterious, but Its re
sults are definite. Tou may not he
able to discern from whence the wind
eometh or whither It goetli, but you
know that It blows by Its effects. The
fruit of our lives demonstrates our
nature, whether It Is henvenly or car
nal. We need not he told that we have
a physical birth for our bodies with
their various faculties In exercise
prove It. Even so the presence within
us of a nature which has no affinity
for the things of the world, n strong
affection for (toil and a disposition to
yield prompt obedience to His com
mands, proves that we have been born
from above. Galatians 3:22, 23, Is an
Infallible test.
111. Tha Ground Upon Which the
New Birth Rests (vv. 14-18).
Christ’s atoning death on the cross
makes regeneration possible. lie took
the place of sinners. His Infinite merit
was placed to their account. He suf
fered In the sinners' stead. Just as the
Israelites had only to look on the
brazen serpent In the wilderness so
the sinner must look to Christ uplifted
upon the cross. Bee Num. 21:4-9, John
12:32, n Cor. 5:21, I Pet. 2:24. Our
salvation cost on tho part of God The
giving up of His only begotten Son
and on the part of Christ the suffer
ings and shame of the cross.
IV. For Whom Salvation Wat Pro
vided (w. Id, 17). “Whosoever he
lleveth on Him.”
These verses give In a condensed
form the whole plan of salvation. Ob
serve :
1. The Source —God so loved.
2. The Ground —the death of
Christ.
3. The Recipients—whosoever.
4. How Appropriated—believing In
Him.
6. Results —should not perish; ever
lasting life.
V. Men’s Attitude Toward Chrtat
(vv. 18-21).
1. Some Believe and Are Saved.
Those who believe are now free from
condemnation (John 5:24).
2. Some Will Not Follow anil Are
Resting, Therefore, Under the Con
demnation of God. The cause of their
unbelief In Him Is their love of sin.
"Speculation V*. Certainties”
When they asked the dying Fura
day, “what ure your speculations?” ha
replied that be was not “pillowing hts
head on any speculations.” Said he.
“I know whom I have believed, and
am persuaded that He Is able to keep
that which I have committed to Him
against that day."—Exchange.

j WHAT MY
NEIGHBOR SAYS
i .
IS OF INTEREST TO LAFAYETTE
FOLKS
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
| kidney ills—and has found relief from
all this sickness and suffering, that j
I person’s advice is of untold value to '
friends and neighbors. hTe following
case is only one of many thousands,
but it is that of a LaFayette resident:.
. Who could ask for a better example 7
Z. A. Borders, chief of police, 15
North Main Street, says: "My kidneys
became disordered and acted so often
that I had to get up during the night
to pass the secretions which were
scanty and painful in passage. My
hack was so lame and sore that when
I got down I had a time of it to
straighten again, because knife-like
pains shot through the small of my
back. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, how
ever and they cured me entirely.”
Mr. Borders is only one of many
LaFayette People who have grate
fully endorsed Doan’s Pills. If your
back aches—if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s
Pills, the same that Mr. Borders had
—the remedy backed by home testi
mony. CO cents at all dealers—Foster
