‘The Spirit helpeth our in

A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link. If one link
in a chairn will hold one hun
dred pounds, .mother fifty, and
another ten, ti e chain as a whole
will hold ton pounds, no more.
This is why James 2:10 says:
"For whosoever .shall keep
the whole law, and yet offend
in om point, he is guiltv of
all.”
Many people suppose that we
will be sated or lost accord
ing to hov good or bad wo
have been. This is not so.
It is not a question of how
pood or bad v.o have been,
but of whether or not we have
sn'.nod. A mar, need commit
only one robbery to be a rob
ber. burn only one house to
he a arsonist, kill onp one
human helm t 1> a murder
er—and commit onh one sin to
h* sinner. This is why the
Mo : : a God says that all are
sinners,
How wonderful to know that
in grace "Christ died for our
sins' ! and that In simple faith
in Him wv may be saved tn d

full\ justified before God! (Rom.
3:6,' 8, 10).
But born-again Christians
find that the above principle is
just as true of them as of the
unbeliever. None of us is any
stronger than his weakest point.
Frightening, isn't it, especial
ly when we consider that Sa
tan constantly attacks us at our
weakest point to wreck our
testimony if he can.
But here is where the be
liever can rejoice that "the
Spirit... helpeth our infirmi
ties'’ (Rom. 8:26). He dwells
within to help in time of need,
so that we need not fail (Rom.
8;11, 12), This does not moan,
however, that He takes control
without being called upon, as
He did "when the day of Pen
tecost was fully,come.” Unlike
the Pentecostal believers, we
live under ‘ the dispensation of
the grace of God.” What God
provides by grace we must ap
propriate by faith. Thus in
any given case we may have
victory. Indeed it is concern
ing the weak brother in Christ
that Paul declares by inspira
tion; "God is able to make
him stand” (Rom, 14;4).

tioning scheduled to be put jnto

Already, four sections of the
proposed scheme of union for
the Uni f ed Church have been
accepted, approved and consid
ered as final by the representa
tives of the participating
dun dies. They are the Afri
can Methodist Episc o p a 1
Church; Christian Churches
(Disciples of Christ); the Evan
gelical Brethren; the
Methodist Church; the Pro
testant Episcopal Church; The
United Church of Christ --
(Formerly the Congregational

Presbyterian Church in the U.
MEDITATION
ASERMONETTE
BY COI.IN DOUGLAS
‘ Be not slothful.” - Hob.
6:12.
Some persons have the habit
of theorizing so much about
life and what is right and im
portant in life, that they nev
er really get down to the im
portant business of LIVING
their lives and of accomplish
ing the desires of their hearts.
Some blame other persons for
taking their time and energies,
and feel that they have not
had the opportunities and ad
vantages others have had.
Actually, if we really and
truly want to accomplish any
thing at all, we can do it.
But we cannot reach our goals
just by talking about them, or
by reading about what some
one else has accomplished, or
just by praying about it. We
must DO the work ourselves!
We must enlist the aid of God
through prayer, and then we
must co-operate with HIM by
our own physical efforts to
achieve our goals.
One thing that keeps many
persons from concentrated ef
fort Is their feeling that they
must keep an eye on the whole
of their lives or they will lose
out somewhere along the line.
The whole of our lives is made
up of small.experiences, small
conditions, small problems -
and how we conduct ourselves
through each of these situations
adds up to the amount of spirit
ual progress we make through
life and consequently to the
amount of happiness and satis
faction and success we achieve.
We must pray regularly and
faithfully for guidance, and then
armed with out renewed faith
in God’s never-failing power
we can sally forth to meet
life. Keeping in mind the old
Persian proverb, "Luck is in
fatuated with the efficient,” we
do efficiently all those things
which are daily asked of us.
"Jehovah will guide thee con
tinually, and satisfy thy soul.”
--Isa. 58:11.
