The choice of a leader for a
state' of nation should not de
pend so much upon a party label
as upon the ideology and theory
of government the candidate
has. The principles a man stands
for and believes in are th* things
that are going to govern h i s
thinking and action in the event
he is elected. It is not consist

According to the OPA over 2,-
500,000 gallons of black market
gasoline are used in the United
States every day. It is this di

that has made it necessary tocu
down the allowance of gasolim
to honest car owners. Those who,
deal in black market gasoline and
those who knowingly use black
market gasoline are saboteurs)
just the same as though they
placed bombs under the army’s
storage tanks and blew them up.

PAUL ENCOURAGES THE
CORINTHIANS
LESSON TEXT—II Corlnthlam 4:5. 1618:
6:1, 5-8. 14-19.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye know the grace of
: *ur Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, yet for your sake* he became poor,
that'ye through his poverty might become
rich.—ll Corinthians 8:9.
“Nothing is certain but uncertain
ty,” bo says the modern philosopher.
But man cannot be satisfied with
constant change and confusion. That
is why, in our day of unheard-of dis
ruption of ordinary life patterns,
men and women especially need the
message of the gospel, for in Christ
we find the answer to our quest for
certainty and stability.
Paul writing to encourage the
church at Corinth assured them that
life may be steady, useful and true
because they are Christians. He pre
sents:
The Christian—a Servant of Men
for Christ’s Sake (II Cor. 4:5), Hav
ing—
I, A Vision Which Lightens Afflic
tion (II Cor. 4:16-18).
Any honest person knows that in I
the temporal world round about him
everything speaks of death. All
things tend to run down, to wear
out, to decay, including the body of
man. He sees his mental as well
as his physical powers coming to a
certain maturity only to go into de
cline.
At the same time he is conscious
of the deep burden of affliction and
sorrow which seems to press down on
all the world like an almost un
bearable and crushing weight. What
can he do about it? Shall he try to
dissipate the clouds by artificial
cheerfulness? It will not work.
Our text gives us the answer. “For
this cause we faint not," says Paul.
The things which press us down are
only temporal—they are of this
world. God’s world is eternal. The
weakness of the physical body only
makes the strength of the spiritual
life more evident. The affliction
which seems so heavy is only a
"light affliction” when one remem
bers the "eternal weight of glory.”
Is this just a bit of "escapism”?
Is it only some wishful thinking?
No, indeed. Have not men learned
anew in the war that the only pos
sessions you can keep are those
which cannot be bombed to pieces
or stolen?
Obviously, that is true in the high
est degree of the one who knows
Christ, and whose riches are those of
eternity. How triumphantly he can
meet decay nnd sorrow! He is of the
other world, and nothing here can be
more than n light affliction, which
seems negligible in the light of the
glory of eternal things. Ah, but it’s
great to be a Christian in such days
as these!
11. An Assurance Which Removes
Fear (II Cor. 5:1, 5-8).
Of all the fears which afflict mor
tal man the greatest and the ulti
mate one is the fear of death. He
knows that it is so absolute and final
that it terminates everything and
separates him from all that he has
known and held dear in this world.
That is just the point, death does
end everything (except the awful
fear of judgment for a wasted wicked
life!) for those who live only for this
world. Man, however, was never in--
tended for just this present life. He
is a being who has eternity written
in his very personality.
What if this "earthly tabernacle"
—my body—does give up, says Paul.
I have a "building of God," some
thing which man did not make with
his hands, an eternal home in glory.
That gives a man confidence.
While he is here in the body, he
lives and walks by faith, but when
absent from this body, he ip "pres
ent with the Lord." How altogether
delightful and marvelous is the fu
ture, even beyond the grave, for the
believer. Hence, we "sorrow not as
others which have no hope" (read I
Thess. 4:13-18).
111. A Hope Which Makes Him a
Living Testimony (II Cor. 5:14-19). 1
Worldly people sometimes wonder
what tremendous nnd tireless motive
power keeps Christians working for
the Lord in the face of impossible
difficulties. We have that motive
named in verse 14—“ the love of '
Christ constraineth us."
There is no compulsion about real
Christian testimony and service.
There is no feeling that one must do
this or that in order to please God.
No, the compelling force here is the
love of a dying Saviour. It is the
supremely powerful and all persua
sive influence of love. (
Christ died for all, and those who
realize that, know that they cannot
"henceforth live unto themselves”
(v. 15). The social standing, or fam
ily connections of our fellow men,
no longer control. Christ died for
them and we must bring them the
word of life.
Notice in verse 17 that it is the
born-again-one who has this hope.
Many church members whose lives
are powerless and sinful are so be
cause they have never been bom
again. "Except a man be born
again" (John 3:3) he is not a Chris
tian. That is the place to begin.
Take Christ by faith. j
OUR LANGUAGE
One reason why those of other
nationalities find it difficult to
learn our language is the differ
ent meanings we assign to the
same word and the different
meanings given to the same word
by emphasis or inflection. For
example a cat to a housewife is a
domestic pet supposed to be use-1
ful for catching mice in return 1
tor a daily saucer of milk. Acati
in the petroleum industry is a
contraction of the word catalyist
or conversion agent. In road and
power equipment a cat is a Cater
pillar tractor, and in social cir
cles a cat is a woman with a
sharp and unnecessarily unfair
and critical tongue. Then there
is the word “well.” By the dif
ferent inflections given it, it may
ask a question, it may express
surprise, it may express a condi
tion of health or a source of water
supply. It may be used to de
scribe how one’s work is done or
it may be used to express ac
quaintance or agreement. There
are perhaps many other uses, but
even these few would be confus
ing to one of another nationality
attempting to learn our language.
