-A" 35 CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JUNE G, 19G3. LESSON FOR SUNDAY. WESSON XIII- JUNE 21. 190J. ; . . Eph. V, 11-11-"Quo Vadts" gives i faithful plc ture of the state of Roman society at the dan of Christianity, It Is vivid nhoiojrraDhic. The conditions maintaining In the metropolis were the nrovlncea.. GreeK and Roman morals were alike both at the lowest possible dd. y T,hn. Elusinlan.' and Bacchanalian mysteries were Inconceivably impure. In the temple or Wans at Ephesus there were a thousand priestesses whose ritual induced prostitution. The classic writers of the period, some without intending ft. convict their ace of incredible abomination. - On-this rotting- dunghill of current civilisation Christianity bloomed like a white and migrant .11. w ..niri not dreamed of before. wirii iurht that one must not mere " lv not do evil, but must not appear to be or to think evlL It raised . a clear, uncompromising protest against aln. . If walked m ngni. ana rVl nnspotUd. in the midst of a crooked . ligftt. ana neia ionn i" t.,.i kinwif the Roman oltlsen, the wide and observant traveler, was the most fearless anq rorceiui the ChrisUon crKics of heathen im morality. Ha threw tne his invincible logic down-before the famed and prised mysferle--the holy of holies of classic nei": declared the things done in these nij--tic rites under cover ot night to oe a vile that It would be an c (Tense against modesty to mention them, "at the heathen Justified their crimes w .,.mr.! of the crimes of the.r a-oda. to elerate and portray which the mysteries wera instituted. - In a general way the epistle Is. in large measure, a contrast between Christian and heathen principles and . practice. The character and char acteristics of tha disciples of the Nas arene are opposed to those of the vo taries of Baccnus and the rest of the - divinities. The contrast Is that of the Naxarene are opposed to those of the voUries of Bacchus and the rest of the divinities. The contrast Is ' that f darkness and light, works and fruit. Bacchanalian songs and psalms of prajse. fullness of wine and full aess of tha Spirit. " This paragraph la particular might be explained and paraphrased about . aa follows: Have fellowship. This la the very word the Greeks used to signify participation In the mysteries. The apostla does not enjoin the ea tretn of refusing- to speak, orhave 1 business, or social dealings with, but to abstain from, a denting Intercourse, especially sharing la the mysteries. But rather reprove: Not the mere negative, not participating, but ag gressive: expose their roumess; show them up; reprove V e.. onfute. con vict, convince. Christians by their superior knowledge, are to show the absurdity of the mysteries. "Do not connive at nor pass this over unnoUo ed, but take aggressive measures against this, and try to raise the .Gen tiles to your own Christian standard. A shame to speak: The initiated en gaged not to divulge the mysteries. This was to be commended, for their very mention was a shame. "One eoniri not mention them without tak ing all their dirt into his mouth." The Bacchanalian mysteries were so foul . that ths -Roman Senate finally banish ed them from Rome. Things reproved made manifest: These blameworthy deeds are shown to oe so by the gos pel; and as that which shows the true nature of certain actions Is light. therefore the gospel M light. Awakel Arise! Wake up! Rouse ye! No sign that the apostle meant this to De con sidered as a quotation from the Old Testament. Certainly, it cannot be f mind ihere. It mar have been a part ol a Christian hymn or an unre corded saying of Jesus. The figure of speech represents the gospel as per sonified and calling to a lethargic world. Christ shall shjne on thee: The figure Is that of the landscape il lumined by the break of day. Circum- . spect: Accurate in your manner of life, looking all around you in your walk. Redeeming the time; Buying it tip In advance, to have it In store. Be' not drunk: Bacchanalian rites ' condemned. Wherein is excess: Dis soluteness, a course of lire destitute of gooff Intention. Singing to each oth- ' er; Antlphonallv. chanting responslve ly. Psalms: The Psalms of David. Hymns: Improvised, impromptu, Joy- ' ous, rythmic utterances. Odes: Stud led poetic compositions. Making mel ody; Keeping time and tiyie to the music of the heart In the name: Everything a Christian does Is to be done in the name of the Lord. fSub- ' witting: Respect for authority; sub mitting cheerfully to those who bear authority lawfully in Church and State la a clear mark and character istic of th Christian. - THE TEACHER'S LANTERN'. The Epistle to the Epheslans Is not the Epistle to the, Epheslans! Para dox! Yes, b.ut probably true. In the oldest manuscripts of the New Tes tament, such as the one in tha pope's library, caJled "Vatlcanus," and the one discovered by Tlschendorf in the monastery on Ht Sinai, and called ' "Slnaiticus. the words "at Ephesus" 'l-. 1) do not appear la the text, but In the margin, and by a later hand. The Internal evidence against the Epheslan destination Is: (1) The epistle contains no personal greet ings, although Paul lived three years . in Ephesus. (1) Could not describe the Epheslan Church as one of whose : conversion he knew only by report. (L IS) (J) Could not describe the Epheslan Church as knowing him to be an apostle by hearsy only, (III., ) (4) Could not describe the Eph eslan Church as being Gentile exclu sively, uV 11: lv 17). In explana tion some affirm this to be the Epis tle to the Laodiceans (Col. IV., 10), which 1 otherwise lost; others, that ft Is an encyclical, which went pos sibly first to the Church In Ephesus, or which was Issued in duplicate. -:-.V ' ... - y-: s .: The question of Immediate destina tion of the Epistle is, however, large ly a question of curiosity, not affect ing In ah way the authenticity, gen- . tilneness. or value of the writing. Its style Is described as exceedingly ele vated. It is written In a raptare. It expresses grand matters In words more sublime than are to be found - elsewhere. - Scientific exposition , and dialectic development . are not at tempted. ' It la, rather, the expression of thoughts roused In a praying soul, and uttered with continuing emotion. One cannot read it without being roused as by a trumpet. - The motif of the Epistle appears t the ldehtlflcatlOB ef ' the v long . sought ethical coemo vithjthe Chris tian Church. The Ideal of the re- yul.Iic of God, so ardently aspired for t'y the eit souls in all ages. Is real ized in the Commonwealth of Chris tian disciples. -V--r Lnre admirably analyzes Chapter v.: mree points or view for the new v-n'k. Chapter V 1-14: fl) Loolc .ov thyeif to follow Cod.

Malaria and Defeneration. Youth's Companion. A bold and Interesting generalisa tion concerning; the vast effects which malaria may have produced on the history of great and famous nations and peoples has recently appeared In the form or a book by w. it. a. jones. supplemented with an Introduction by MaJ. Ronald Itowa. It Is suggested that the mosquito has been largely re sponsible for the decline of certain nations, as, for Instance Greece, in the character of whose people historians have recorded a great change during the fourth century before the Christian era. Major Rons' investigations sug gest that majarla may have been In troduced Into Greece at that time. The conclusion Is also drawn that malaria did not exist In Italy much before 200 B. C. and t9 suggestion is made that Hannibal's army Introduc ed It, "Malaria,' says Mr. Jones, "made the Greek weak and inefficient; It turned the sterner Roman into a brute atra bills made Its victims mad." The moral senms to be that nations, like individuals, should beware of mo squitoes." Tha Three Weeks Gria. New York Press.

"We have planned to stay three weeks, Jim," whispered the man s wife. "Why dlda't you tell him so?" "Just because it Is three weeks," said the man. "J didn't want- all those folk hanging around the desk grinning at me like Cheshire cats. That is what happens the minute any body says anything ringing In the title of that confounded book."
