HOW CHRISTIANS SHOULD BEHAVE International Sunday School Lesson For December 8. 1946 Golden Text: "Let us walk becomingly, as in the day " ? Romans * 13:13 Lesson Text: 1 Co. 11:20-27; Romans 13:13-14; Ephesians 5:18-2' Our reference from Corinthians snow how the spirit of a pagan world can make its way into the innermost shrine of Christian worship and defile it. The Corin thians to whom Paul was writing considered themselves Christians tout were so completely self centered, so satisfied in their own comfortable existence, that they were completely unmoved by the needs and feelings of those not so fortunately circumstanced. "They had lost sight, also, of the spiritual meaning of the most sacred rile of the Christian re ligion, the Lord's Supper, which, to them, had become an occasion for gluttonous eating and drink ing. Paul, in his letter of rebuke to them, goes back to the origin of the institution of the Supper and , outlines, step by step, the deep , spiritual meaning of the ordi nancc. He pointed out that this ? sacred service commemorates , what Jesug did for all and was | not to be debased by selfishness, , gluttony and drunkenness.

In a spirit of quiet rev erence, each one should realize that he. or she, is participating in an act of worshiping through symbols named by Jesus himself. We should not interpret Paul's word "unworthily," in reference to the LordV Supper, to mean that we mus^be sinless to take the bread and cup If we are to interpret it thui. no one of us could consider ou^pelves worthy Each should partake of the Lor do Supper as believers desiring to more deeply appreciate his sacri fice for us and to comm\ine more sincerely with him. In the two verses we have from Paul's letter to the Chris tians in Rome, we are told how Christians should deport them selves at all limes. Moffatt's tran slation gives this selection thus: "Let us live decoitiusly as in the open light of day ? no revelry or bouts of drinking, no debauchery of sensuality, no quarrelling or jealousy. No, put on the character of the Lord Jesus Christ, and never think how to gratify the :ravings of the flesh." Paul speaks of conduct as a. walk some thirty-three times in lis letters. Of his advice to "put] ye on the Lord Jesus Christ," F. B. Meyer has this to say: "How constantly we are rushing into life with all its demands, half iressed!" When we are proud, we lave left out Christ's humility; when we are morally weak, we lave forgotten to put on Christ I >s out strength; when we fall in some temptation, we have failed ;o put on Christ as the comple nent to all demands; when there s lack in us of the sweetness, ?easonableness, and loveliness of lesus. it is because we have for ;otten to put on his 'meek, quiet! spirit.' Let us 'put on the Lord lesus Christ', and every part of| lis vesture." It is not necessary to turn this iiscussion into a preachment igainst the drinking of alcohol or ntemperance in any form. If inyone who calls himself a Chris tian follows the admonitions of Paul outlined above, he will have :he strength necessary to forego the temptations to gluttony, drunkenness and accompanying evils. To accomplish his. Paul ad vises "Be filled with Spirit." By this, he means to live so simply and purely that you can at any time speak to God in prayer and| the strength received from suchi communion will assure one of overcoming temptations. Some one has said that the Christian should "be jo busy doing the work of God that he just hasn't ?nough time left to be doing the Announcing the Opening of TOYLAND .<'.., On Our Second Floor Despite continued manufacturing difficulties, we have been able to secure a rather more complete line of Holi day Goods for the youngsters than previously.

In asking the question, "Where Dou You Live?" Roy L. Smith de clared: "Some men live in the dining room of their lives the whole year through. What they eat and idrink are the biggest is sues of life for them. Their whole eAcation is ;n their tongue. "Other men spend their whole existence in the basements of their lives keeping company with dark and foul things that are| [never brought up to the light to day ? consorting with passioDs land appetites of which their best friends know nothing. "But those who have found life most satisfying, most rewarding, are those who live in the library, the music room, the living room, and the study. Life, like the Father's house, is full of 'many rooms,' and every man who seeks the beautiful, the pure, and the holy may find the room where [these things are."
