Lesson Text: Jam 1 :t-lS.
With this lemon, we begin a
series of studies from the epistle
of Junes. James is believed to
have been the half brother of Je
sus, who later became one of the
outstanding leaders of the early
Christian church. It was to this
James that Paul reported from
time to time of the work he was
doing.
The One Volume Commentary
suggests: "If we approach the
study of it (the Epistle of James)
from the right point of view, not
regarding it as a treatise on Chris
tian theology, but rather as a
practical letter on Christian eth
ics, 'treated from the standpoint of
a devout Jew, we shall find it both
interesting and deeply instructive.
"Jt is a call to repentance and
wholeheartedness and reality in
religion. But it goes further than
this. Everywhere we feel the
teaching of Christ reproduced, of
ten almost in the very ' words of
the Master. No doubt the sins
rebuked are those to which out
wardly respectable Jews were
very prone, but they are sins
which in this age of the Church's
history also seem especially- prev
alent." Thus, when people speak of
practical Christianity, they often
refer to the epistle of James as
the . source of their material. In
the epistle are four main themes,
'as follows t 1. The -value of prac
tice' as opposed to mere theory.
8. . The plea for justice and re
spect for th fpoor. 3.' The danger
of vU apeeoh, 4. ,Tbe Med for
The ftrst: chapter of James, a
part of which is given for our
study, contains injury exhortations
to Christians:7 Be steadfast in
trials', verses 2-4; pray in faith,
6-8; wealth and poverty, 9-11;
temptations, 12-18; and practical
religion, 19-27.
The emphasis of our lesson for
this week is on temptation, or
testing. A writer points out that
the word "temptation" has two
meanings, tor shades of inter.pre-

picking up steadily. But in spite
of the fact that we are constant
ly adding books, the supply of
books is gradually dwindling.
Why? Because they are lying
around gathering dust in some
body's house. We say that be
cause we feel convinced that if a
person is going to read a book at
all, they are going to do so in
two or three months. At the
present time there are 228 books
that have been out over eight
weeks. Some of these, far too
many, have been out over six
months. Folks, I ask you, what
are we going to do? I have tried
the "praise method," by publishing
an honor roll of the stops that
had no "overduers." But, alack!
alas, it hasn't worked the way
my psychology professor used to
asuure me it would.
If I had plenty of spare time,
I could probably call for many of
these long-kept books and get
them. I tried that in my own
home town one evening after
work ,and I brought in 32 books.
But, I don't believe that the ma
jority of you who really enjoy
getting and reading books want
me to spend my time running
around gathering up books, in
stead of giving them out.
Well, let's see if I can be of
any help. Iff you can't remember
when I come around your way,
you can tune in WWNC any morn
ing between quarter of nine and
nine-thirty, and Read Wilson will
be announcing the Madison Coun-
.ty . bookmobile schedule. Or you I
can. ask. your neighbors, or you
can take your books to the book
mobile stop, be jt a store, or a
filling station or a home. With
out exception, all of these folks
are most cooperative, and help
ful. They always take in books,
keep them , and hand them to me
when I do come around. "Where
there's a will, there's a way."
. We .think our lending policy is
quit lenient Don't you? Four
weeks regular time. Four more
weeks renewal time no penalty. J
iweive weexs nye. cents per
book.
Honest to goodness, friends, we
don't want to sound mean, nor do
we want to have to get hard-
boiled, but it is our duty to look j
after the books which belong to
the Madison County Public Libra
ry your books. By your books,
I don't mean than anyone , owns
the books they borrow. They own
them, not individually, but in
common with everyone else in the .
county.
If you are guilty, I hope you

Fellows! . . . Here are all your favorites in Watson's top
tation teat or trial and in- I wjil resolve to do something about
ducement to evil. In Chapter 1 of
his epistle, James seemed to have
had in mind1, when he spoke of
temptations, the trials of life,
even persecutions suffered for
one's faith, or every hardship or
trial which tests faith.
Of course, every mature person
realizes that life is a series of
tests. Just as teste are necessary
prerequisites to perfection in the
material world, so trials of one's
faith are necessary to one's spirit
ual development It is as one re
acts to testing that the strength
or weakness of his faith is re
vealed.
James declares that one of life's
priceless possessions is wisdom and
that we will need wisdom in . or
der that we may receive our trials
with the right spirit Wisdom is
not necessarily measured by the
amount of education one has re
ceived; wisdom is discernment,
the ability to look at a given sit
uation and discern which is the
right and proper thing to do, the
wise course of action to take.
The- author reminds na that if
one realises a lack' of wisdom, he
can ask of God and God, who giv
etfc to all men Imerally and np-
braidetk not, will give theiwia4
dom heseeks. . Wbidom .W .an in
sight which allows a Chriattan' to
understand,' practice an advance
in . his ' religious life, in - keeping
with the law o? God. Wisdom to
James ia what faith U to Pan,
hope to Peter, and love to John
the essence of Christian living t-
and the four are easenttally omit
iReal religion must be practical,
it most express itself in - action.
The Christian, who- ia a real fol
lower of Jssus Christ win try to
follow the example of the Master,
of whom tt is said, He went about
i doing good." He wiU realise the
truth of the statement of Jus,
"Inasmuch as we did H unto the
least of these, ye did H unto me."
James declares, In a later chaj
ter, "Ee" ye aers f tie word,
it, before the sun goes down. If
you are innocent, I hope you will
spread the word around, so some
consciences will begin to prick so
hard that the folks who are hold
ing out on the book supply will
be forced to act and fast!
Do you realize that the North
Carolina State Library loans us
nearly eight hundred books with
which to get started? These books
are due back in October. How will
we feel if we are short by a good
many books? Well, we will be if
they aren't returned to us soon.
It would be mean, just too mean,
to publish the names of the per
sons who are thoughtlessly, care
lessly, and, perhaps we might add,
a bit selfishly keeping books that
others want to read. But we are
thinking seriously of putting a
list of the stops and the number
of over-due books at that stop in
this column IF the situation does
not improve. We muck prefer to
write about other things. We dont
enjoy .fussing. ' We know there
are exceptional cases. We want
to make every allowance possible
