' Lesson Text: - Ephesians 5:6-21, -
Ephesians -was Written by Paul,
while he was a prisoner in Rome, ad-j
v dressed to the Christians . of the
. church in Asia Minor. -1 I
Paul direct attention to the .Gen-1
tiles walking "in the vanity of their,
:' mind," ' advising his converts to a I
higher life. "It Is not surprising that
unnstians in me . nrst century, juai
emerging front paganism and sur
' rounded - by degrading customs,
;- should need such warnings and ad
' monitions," says Charles R. Erdman,
i but, he states, "it is' humiliating to
-, admit that believers of the present
' day, with all their advantages of in
heritance and culture, need similar
exhortations.""
(Paul wants the new converts to be
'i "new? men in "righteousness and
V holiness of, truth." What effect was
1 their religion if they were no differ
. ' ent than in their days of paganism ?
'What advantage is our faith to the
' modem professing" Christian who
- lives, and acts witlj -no difference Jn
his life from that ,of an unbeliever?
' Hypocritical religion will not avail
one n the last t Judgment, "Right
: eousness in man," says ,Dr. Andrew
Murray, "includes all God's will, for
our duty to him or pur fellow men;
holiness,' our relation to himself."
., In his practical suggestions Paul
directed attention to ,, man little
things of conduct, nor was he wrong
In doing so. "It is usually little
things that cause us to stumble,"
com menta J. H. Jowett. "I do not
fall over a beer-barrel, but I slip on
i1 a piece of orange peel. I have never
stumbled over a bale of cotton, but if
one flag in the pavement projects a
; - third of an inch, J may be brought to
grief. 1 can avoid the higher things;!
I am careless about the trifles."'
How-true is the iheaght, ,Many lives
are'wrecked ; ana ruined, physically
c and morally, by negligence towards
' little things rwhich eventually grow 1
One of the soaUed "little things"
against which all ahould be warned is
. taking the first drinkv So often the
first taste awakens a desire for more
and; then more, until "the fietim fin
ally realises that he, or she, Is lit ibe
V clutches of an awfuj habit, which, If
not broken, -will fttin him, physically,
morally and economically..
In this country, it is estimated
that there are 40,000,000 adults who
use alcohol 'and that a large percent
' age of the 40,000,000 are either alco-
holies or are destined to become Uco
, holies. - Money is being spent for al
' cohoi which might better go into con
structive effort . Time is lost by
workers and families 'are denied the
' necessary things of - life. Prink
causes uuen home, friction and is a
leading factor w broken homes. The
