Samson thought that he could live with out God. He began to live for the pleasures of the world. He ended up missing his whole mis sion in life. But in the end as Samson stood between the two great pillars that held up the giant building that the Philis tines were mocking him in, Sam son saw the need for God. He cried out for God to remember him and God did as Samson’s great strength flower back into his body and he pushed the pil lars down and the building fell.

The couple is now residing in Norfolk, Va. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON j Conl’d. from Paqe 6—Section 2 1 words of wisdom are inadequate ; without the spirit of love. James '2: 8-17 illustrates this thought beautifully. | What is the path of wisdom? It leads to faith in Christ as Savior and the presence of thi | Spirit in one’s life. We shall know the Spirit by its fruit. 1 Note how Paul uses the singular | (Galatians 5:22-23). j The first Fruit of the Spirit is love—esteem, devotion, directed j both toward God and man. The second is Joy—the capacity to | rejoice in the midst of all cir -1 cumstances, our gladness based jon the assurance of God’s love. The third is Peace—not sheer in activity nor passivity, but a peace of mind derived from our knowledge of having been recon ciled with God. Patience is the fourth Fruit of the Spirit—a bearing with men’s weaknesses without an exhibition of anger. Fifth comes Kindness —a kind ness growing from the goodness of God in sending Jesus to li ■ the awful bondage of sin from mankind. Goodness not just good, but good FOR something, reflects our calling as Christians, and is sixth in our list of the Fruits of the Spirit. Seventh comes Faithfulness—a complete trusting in God and a dedi cation of our lives to him. Gen tleness, an innate modesty, wherein one counts others bet ter than himself, and Self-con trol—the mastery of self that holds in check all impulses, all desires—must also be included in our list of the fruits of the Spirit. These qualities of the Chris tian reflect the glory of the Spirit of Christ which is within. They summarize well the New Testament’s fulfillment of the wisdom about the good and righteous life in the Old Testa ment. The fruits of faith are the highest type of wisdom the way of understanding love that is basic to all true communica tion.
