Lesson for December 23
PAUL’S LAST MESSAGE
LESSON TEXT—II Timothy 4:1-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—I have fought a
good fight, 1 have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
PRIMARY TOPlC—Paul's Last Mes
sage to Ris Friends.
JUNIOR TOPlC—Paul's Farewell to
Hlis Friends,
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Christian’s Goal.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
lC—Paul's Victorious Faith,
I. Paul’s View of Death (v. 0).
It 1s:
1. An offering (v. 6). “lI am ready
to be offered.” This specifically meant
a drink offering—a libation. This fig
ure shows that Paul was looking for
ward to & violent death. The shed
ding of his blood was to be an offer
ing poured out upon the sacred altar
as an act of worship. Death can only
be+an offeriug to God when the life
has been wholly yielded.to the doing
of God’s will.
2. A departure (v. 6). “The time
of my departure is at hand.” The
game idea is expressed in Philippians
1:23. “Departure” i€ a nautical term
which signifies the loosing of a ship
gm its moorings, in order to enter
pon its voyage. It is not the end of
the voyage, but its beginning. It in
dicates that the vessel is outward
bound. The anchor is being lifted and
the sails are being spread for the
homeland.
11. Paul’'s Backward Glance at Life
(v. 7).
God has a definite purpose for each
life. Life should be so spent that at
its close one can look back with the
definite consciousness that that pur
pose has been accomplished. This
backward look is presented in three
figures:
1. “I have fought a good fight,” The
figure here is that of a soldier. The
Christian life is a warfare—conflicts,
dangers and temptations must be met,
As a soldier, the Christian must fight
and overcome all these.
2. “I have fmished my course.” The
figure is that of an athlete who sets
out to win a.race. The Christian life
is a race to be run; we must not only
begin the race, but persistently run
u‘m end. L ™
“I have kept the faith. 'X‘t
‘ure is that ot?%mbandlin to Whom
‘had been entrusted a treasure. This
treasure was the Christian faith,
111. Paul's Forward Look to the
Future (v. 8).
1. He saw before him a life with
God. Fellowship with God is a prize
greatly to be desired.
2, A prize was Wid up for him—a
crown of righteousness. This award
will be given at the coming of the
Lord to all who love His appearing.
IV. Paul's Associates (vv. 9-12),
Paul was & very lonely man, though
faithful to God. To be alone in the
world is likely to be the experience
of all who follow hard after God.
1. Demas the renegade (v. 10). De
mas has become immortalized as one
who was religious, but because of the
attractions of the world he went after
it. The love of the world caused him
to turn his back upon principle, friend
ship, honor and duty.
2. Luke the faithful (v. 11). What
a comfort it must have been to have
with him this one faithful soul! Per
haps he was the best fitted of all to
minister unto Paul.
8. Mark the restored runaway (v. 11).
Mark had gone back, but he was re
stored. We de not know how long a
time elapsed between his running
away and his restoration.
V. Personal Matters (vv, 13-18),
1. Bring the cloak, books and parch
ments (v. 13). In the jail the cloak
would be needed for his comfort. The
books and parchments would be need
ed for his study and writing.
2, Alexander the coppersmith (vv,
14, 15). We have no way of deter
‘mining just when the coppersmith did
lhln much evil, It was given as a
warning to this young minister, Tim
othy.
8. Defended by the Lord though for
saken by men (vv, 16-18),
Paul in his last trying hours was
much like his Lord—left alone, He
says, “All men forsook me.” It was
said of Christ, “They all forsook
him and fled.” Paul manifests a like
spirit, “I pray God that It might not
be laid to their charge.” Christ sald,
“Father forgive them for they know
not what they do.” Though It was
wrong for them to leave him alone, he
not only forgave them, but prayed that
the Lord might forgive them,
For Religion’s Sake
1 say the whole earth and all the
stars In the sky are for religion's
sake.~Walt Whitman,
A Faithful Man
A man of faith is one who trusts
God. A faithful man Is one whom
God can trust.—D, T,
~ Christian’s Commission
Why run? Suffering is a part and
parcel of the Christian's commission.
-J, W. Lee
From on High
Power from on high made those
mmd fishermen irresistible.—J.

From the heavenly throng.

VERYONE was happy but Car
rie, they said, All four of the
others had come in the last two
days before Christmas. A heavy
snow had fallen and te remind
them of old times Father Carson had
met Harry and Esther at the station
in the old bobsled. And Harry and
Esther, in turn, had jingled merrily
down after Frank and his wife and
the new baby. Mr, and Mrs, Carson
beamed at the children, home again,
A yule log crackled in the fireplace.
The old fashioned pantry almost
bulged. Harry and Frank had
brought a Christmas tree from down
by the creek and Esther and Marlon,
Frank's wife, trimmed it
oOf course, poor Carrie had to be the
last one home., She'd wired them
that she had to teach up to the last
minute and wouldn't arrive until
Christmas eve.
“Poor Carrle,” they sald again,
For Frank and Marion were so proud
of the new baby, and Harry'd had a
promotion. Esther was romantle
with a beautiful diamond and a young
man's very soulful picture., This was
her senlor year in college. She'd de
pended on Carrle for funds as each
of the others had, but she couldn't
help patronizing Carrle a little In
her mind, Poor drab Carrie with
her eternally shabby clothes and her
same old teaching job,
“Did she ever have a fellow?”
Marion asked Frank and Harry as
they pulled on heavy overcoats before
meeting the tralin,

Esther gazed casually at her ring
and shrugged. “Poor dear,” she mur
wured, “She bas no idea of how to
handle men. It requires much tact.”
The boys roared with laughter. “You
leave Carrie alone!” they shouted as
they crunched out to the sleigh.
Mrs. Carson came from the kitch
en, cheecks flushed. “Girls,” she said,
“Carrie’s always been the family back
bone., Let’s be specially nice to her
this Christmas. I don’t think wa
ought to brag to her about our own
good fortunes. Don’t, above all
things, let her see that we feel sorry
for her.” |
The girls agreed. “Especially
Esther’s engagement, That'll make
her more lonesome, poor thing,” said
Marion, ¢
But Carrie was radiant when she
came in, “Merry Christmas, folks!”
ghe called, kissing each of them.
“Why, Carrie!” they gasped. She
had a new dress, too.
“Am I not festive?” she said, but
mysteriously she would not tell them
until supper time. “I've had a talk
with the principal. You're all through
school, now, and I'm going to Europe
next year! Oh, I've always wanted

py. Esther and Marion forced con
descension from their congratulations.
“Poor dear,” whispered Esther, “She’s
having to let these things take the
place of the love she's starved for.
I'm sure her gayety isn't real” But
Carrie didn’t hear,
John Grey called. He'd known the
family always but they were sur
prised that he should come on Christs
mas eve, It took Harry to detect the
reason. “I belleve he's here to sea
Carrie,” he whispered to the aston
ished family, Carefully, each slipped
away,
“Wouldn't it be wonderful if she
could land him—-with all his money
and—but she can't. She doesn't know
how, poor thing, and he's been a
‘bachelor too long to fall for a little
drab mouse,” they said. *
John left at eleven and the family
rushed 'in. “You sly lady,” they all
shouted, not belleving themselves,
“How does this happen?"
Carrie smiled and then looked serl
ous, “Oh, John wants me to marry
him, but I don't want to marry, I
want to go to Europe!"
“What? You turned him down?”
Esther and Marlon couldn't belleve it,
Carrie nodded. *“I just happened
onto him at a convention the first day
I'd found for sure that I could go

happy that I thought he'd be ashamed
of me, Instead, he asked me to mar

Fifteen minutes later, Carrie turned
from the phone, “I've just decided

she sald doubtfully, then looking at
the clock, “Merry Christmas everys
