(@), 1928, Western Newspaper (nion.) 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 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, Everyone reflected. “Once,” Frank recalled, “the year she was in nor ; :: ".ehool. but he married somebody 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!

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 next year, I acted so ridienlously happy that I thought he'd be ashamed of me, Instead, he asked me to mar ry him, and he's been at it ever since.” Thelr Carrie with a chance to mar. ry John Grey and turning it down! The family looked at each other in confusion, The phone rang. “Carrie!” sald Father in bewilder. ment, Fifteen minutes later, Carrie turned from the phone, “I've just decided to let John go to Europe with me,” she sald doubtfully, then looking at the clock, “Merry Christmas everys ™ o R T
