Lesson Text: I John X :1-10. Dt is strange that nothing is recorded in the New Testament about John's activities as an apos tle after Christ's ascension, ex cept that he is associated with Pe ter in the events immediately af ter Pentecost, and is also men tioned by Paul as one of the pil lars of the church at the time of the Council in Jerusalem. However, five books in the New Testament are credited to the pen of John. These are the "Fourth Gospel," the three epistles of John and the Book of the Revelation. All were very probably written near the end of the first century when John was a very old man. The epistles, like the Gospel of John, express profound thought in iniple words', dwelling on the spiritual elements in religion rath- r than on the external and eni hasizing faith and love, obcdi- nce and knowledge, light and Hie. The first letter of John, which forms the basis of our study this week, is the longest of the three and was probably written in Eph- sus. It is a solemn warning to he Christians of that day that they eould not hold views of Christ which are untrue, and at the same time, have fellowship with God through Christ. John was endeavoring to com bat the heresy of the Gnostics be cause he realized what a deadly heresy they taught when they said that one living in sin might still be "spiritual" and a "child of God." In his letter, John shows very clearly the relation of doc trine and conduct. John has become known as the "Apostle of Love" because stressed Christian ki mre than any other New Testament writer. A careful reading of John's writ ing will certainly reveal the em jjhaaig he places on lore. Love is the theme of this letter. Twice in this first epistle he says that God is love, and several times he declares that love is the evidence that one is born of God. John's description of a Chris tian, as outlined by Marthar Tar bell, is as follows: "God is re vealed in Jesus. To know what God is like, look at Jesus. To hear God's message, listen to Jesus. If we desire to please God, to be a Christian, live like Jesus. And all this sums up a life of love lived daily among our fellows, loving not in word, neither with tongue, but in deed and in truth. "Confession of faith, generosi ty in service, all the godlike things named by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount are implied in our brief texts from John's first epis tle. Hereby, know we love, be cause he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Find God through Christ, and -show your Christianity by daily living lives of love. Are you a Christian T Do you bear any of the marks of a Chris tian? Percy J. Grubb, in, Waa- leyan Methodist Magazine, once wrote: "You have , all heard of Alexander the Great. 'Ha o quered country after country in quick succession. We are told that he had in his army a soldier whose name also was Alexander. "One day he sent for the man to appear before him. When he came, Alexander said to him: .". Bp Rev. Ernest E. Emmrifm. COME, 0 THOU TRAVELLER UNKNOWN When Thomas Koachat discov ered the poem about unrequired love which began, "Forgotten, for gotten, forgotten am I," he was so moved by the sentiments that he immediately sat down and set the story to music. He little dreamed that the editor of a Christian hymnal would one day include his music in a new vol ume, with the stanzas of James Montgomery's great hymn on the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Lord my shepherd. No want shall I know." Nor did George Webb imagine that a somewhat similar experi ence would be his when, for an evening of entertainment, aboard a passenger vessel in mid-Atlantic, he composed a new tune for the poem, '"Tis dawn, the lark is singing." It was left to another editor to take that tune and match it with George Duffields' words and thus create one of the most militant hymns in all Chris tendom, "Stand up, stand up for ' Jesus-!" This thing also works in re verse, because it was to the tune of an old hymn written during the middle of the nineteenth cen tury by Abbey Hutchinson, "Kind words can never die," that the British Tommies, during the first World War, sang a song of their own, substituting "Old soldiers" for "Kind words," giving the world the song now popular with veterans in every branch of the military, "Old soldiers never die." Felix Mendelssohn was asked to compose a tune for a cejebration in connection with an anniversary i of the invention of printing. Lit tle did he know that his music would be immortalized by being linked with Charles Wesley's su perb Christmas hymn, "Hark! the herald angels sing." Nor did Williams Shield, who composed the tune now known as "Aiuld Lang Syne" for his opera, "RO' sina" in 1782, ever dream that his music would be the inspira tion of a noble hymn of immortal' . j ity, "it eingeth low in every ueart, wnicn itev. jonn unaa- 1-1 - i a . cwniK i (i Killer i J years earlier.

Clarke, thinking ' Miller was Joking, humorously replied, "Write your niehd on tM Usk keys of the harpischord to ' a good steady kind of rhythm' and youll have what you want" ( Miller, taking his friend's words as sound musical advice, and fol lowing them infallibly, did exact ly that and produced the rudi ments of what, with some altera tions and corrections by: Clarke, became the afore-mentioned tune. Burns was doubly anxious to au thenticate the tune's origin since its popularity had led to the claim that it was of Irish origin. The night Charles Wesley preached in Kingswood, May 24, 1741, he wrote these words in his diary, "I preached on Jacob wrestling for the blessing." Doubtless, the music to which Burns referred was the farthest thing from the Methodist preach er's mind as he delivered the ser mon that evening. The thoughts he shared with his people that night were finally reduced to po etic form the following year, when lie wrote the fourteen stanza nf one of his most profound poems, sometimes called "Wrestling Ja cob," but known by its first line, "Come, O traveller unknown." Meanwhile Burns' poem had be come so popular that the tunc to which the verses were sung was no longer known by its original title, but was called 4 'B:mnie Doon" after the last .two w.mls of the first line of his stanzas.

H. riffln, a revival meeting will be gin at the Laurel Branca Bap tist Church, on the Marshall-Mars Hill Highway, the' third Sunday in this month August 19. The Rev. Jack Davis will be the visiting evangelist. Mr. Griffin and the church cor dially invite the public to attend and take a part in the meeting. Don't pity the unmarried man he can keep his bachelor quar ters until they become dollars. 9 S'T' ,(.'s,y ;-n,.r1v.r,-puH.rJ1;;,.j1,i Poetry Corner Contributed Edith Deederiek ErshiM be Bung to "Bonnie Doon" is not known, but whoever he was, he must have made a good job of it. Because, the young lad who was to grow up to become Methodist Bishop Warren A. Candler, found er of the famous Emory Univer sity, learned the words to that tune and never forgot them. Old er hymnals carry this notation above the hymn, "Bonnie Doon, as sung by Bishop Warren A. Chandler." Later the name of the tune was again forgotten, and "Wrestling Jacob" was sung to a tune now named for the Methodist leader himself, "Chandler," which is nothing but "Bonnie Doon" which was" originally 'The (ale- Ionian Hunts' Delight." So a poem by an Knglisli di inc, sung to a tune by a Sci.t ish composer, popularized bv a iiisbop of the former Southern Kniscopal Church in the I'mted Slates, has won the universal acclaim it so well deserves. And "Wrestling Jacob'' vviil be a per manent part of Methodist hyinno dy as long as that hymliody endures, LIFE'S JOURNEY Written 6y blind man of Spruce Pine will not pass this way again As I travel let me help some friend; Help someone a burden to bear; The heartache and grief of some one to share.

I Stranger stiif S the fact' that the tune William Steffe wrote in the hiiddle 1800's for his own gos pel song, "Say, brother, will you meet us on Canaan's happy shore," soon became associated with an entirely different kind of song, "John Brown's body lies a-mould-ering in the grave." Later it was rescued from oblivion when Julia Ward Howe, while visiting at Munson Hill Farm, near Wash ington, D. C, was inspired to write her own hymn, "The Battle Hymn of The Republic. But, getting back to Scotch mel odies, Robert Burns came across a delightf ul, lilting tune one day wihich was called "The Caledoni an Hunts' Delight" and was so intrigued by it that ho sat down and wrote a poem to bo sung to the time, beginning with the line, "Ye Banks and Braes, of. Bonnie Doon." He learned, after he had written his poem, that the musk COMPLCTEV Pick-up and Deliveries -yff ;-,- v . ON TUESDAYS and SATURDAYS In and' aroV&d Marshall have heard two things about you: the first is that you are a great coward, and whenever a battle is to be fought, you either get out of it altogether, or you go some where out of danger; and the oth er thing I have heard is that you bear the same name as myself. "Now you must do one of two things: either you must become a brave soldier like your general always in the forefront of the battle, always in the thick of the fight, always at the post of dan ger; or, if you cannot -do that, yott mult change your iuuh; you .4ball not disgrace the name of your master.' "So, Christ comes to every one of-us, young and old alike, and he says: If you bear the name of Christian, you must also bear my mark and badge upon you. You must exercise that same pure, un selfish, kindly love towards one another, and to all around you, which I have manifested to all men, or else jrou must change your name; you shall not disgrace the name of Christian."
