Having set forth In the previous
chapter the standards of the kingdom,
Christ the king now exhibits the un-
derlying principles which control the
subjects of the kingdom.
I. As to Giving (vv.1-4).
Doing alms before men is not con-
demned as that would contradict
Matthew 5:10, but the doing of them
before men to be seen of them. To
seek publicity in doing our alms is to
miss the reward of the heavenly Fa-
ther.
II. As to Praying (vv. 5-15).
The spirit of self-advertisement fre-
quently displays itself even in the holy
exercise of prayer. In order to cor-
rect tills evil tendency he sots forth
1. False prayer (vv. 5,7). This con-
sists in
a. I’raylng to be seen and heard of
men (v. 5). Many of the prayers ut-
tered in public are false, for the thing
uppermost in the mind of the one pray-
ing is what the people think rather
than what God thinks.
b. Using vain repetitions (v. 7).
This does not mean that we should
ask but once for u given thing. We

To others it means u give and

to give and take it and always
ready with a ready come-back
for each bantering remark.
To go deeper into the subject
we find that tin* true “sport

January 29, 1934. The Corrigan
girls did lheir host to stave off
the loss, but try as they might
they could not conquer the A!os-
cow “Mowers.”
Tile Corrigan girls played a
great game, but tin* .Moscow girls
seemed to have a little edge. The
game was a briHunt fought game
from tin* beginning until tin* end.
If you missed the game you miss
od a great game.

a shot it was generally 2 points.

credit. She was .Miss Violet Ves-

In this progressive age a per-
son must live and associate with
iiis fellow-man. Iiis ability to do
so collects Iiis training and Iiis
fair-mindedness.
Sportsmanship is what w e
make it. Citizenship is what we
make it. Olliers will follow and
criticise tin* examples we set.
Lot us make them worthy of our
best efforts. In England they say
“lie played lli<* game." In Amer-
ica we say "la* played the game
««///«re." We have to add tlie ad-
jective in order to place the
aroper emphasis where we want
if. It should lie understood a
lining sportsmen that if lie play-
ed tlie game, he played ii square.
A1IDTERAI
praying three times for the same thing
(Matt. 20: 30-40; II Cor. 12:7, 8). It
means rather tlie using of meaningless
repetitions.
2. True prayer (v. 0). Since real , ,,
prayer is a transaction of the soul FIV,'S_............. f(,|lo'v
Willi God, there should lie a rent de-
sire for fellowship with litm which
moves one to meet him iu tlie secret
place.
3. Tlie model prayer (vv. 9-15).
This involves
a. Itight relationship—"Our Fa-
ther” (v. 0). Before one can pray so
ns to he heard he must, through tlie
regenerating work of the Holy Spirit,
become n child of God.
b. The right attitude—"Hallowed
be thy name” (vv. 9, 10). While God
Is our heavenly Father lie is more than
that, lie Is the Almighty. We should
go before him then with reverent
adoration.
e. A right spirit—“Give us tills day
our dally bread,’’ "Forgive us our
sins," “Lead us not into temptation"
(vv. 11-13). Those who would pray
effectively must have such faith as
would trust Idm for dally bread, and
sueli love as would forgive those sin-
ning against them, nnd such hatred
of evil as to desire not to be led into
temptation.
III. As to Fasting (vv. 1G-18).
Tlie true reason for fasting is to be
found in tlie opportunity it gives for
a clear vision of God.
IV. As to Earthly Riches (vv. 19-21).
The Lord knew the temptations
which would befall his children In
tlier pilgrimage and the anxiety to
which they would lead; therefore lie
sot forth the proper uttltude toward
earthly possessions.
1. The nature of earthly riches
(vv. 19-21).
a. They are uncertain (vv. 19, 20).
Earthly treasures corrode, and may lie
taken from us.
b. They are seductive (v. 21). Christ
called riches deceitful (Matt. 13:22).
It Is not wrong to possess enrtlily
treasures, blit when earthly treasures
possess us they become a snare un-
to us.
2. The effect of earthly riches (vv,
22-21).
n. They blunt the moral and spirit-
ual perceptions (vv. 22,23). Those
who become enamored with the tilings
of the world soon become Irresponsive
to spiritual things.
b. They render service null nnd
void (v. 24). As soon as one’s heart
Is stolen by riches, he Is unfitted for
spiritual service.
V. As to Faith In the Heavenly
Father (vv. 25-34).
1. lie not anxious about food and
clothing (vv. 25-32). To be filled with
anxiety concerning food and clothing
a. Shows distrust of God (v. 30).
b. It Is useless (v. 31). Anxiety
brings us absolutely nottiing.
c. It Is heathenish (v. 82). Those
who know God ns the loving Fattier
will lie free from anxious care.
2. lie sincerely anxious to seek the
kingdom of God and serve him (vv.
33, 84). Tilts means that world af-
fairs should be subordinated to spir-
itual affairs.
(By Christie Cromwell)
Hhortili1 .Midterm, and I pass-
• 1. Think of it only four more
months of school. Thais wlmt
those are saying that studied
this term ami made good grades.
! see only a few faces that have
a rather forlorn or lost look on
I hem because of not studying as
lull'd as they should. I think any
one s<*ciiis much more pleased to
carry home a report with real
good grades on it than one not
as good as it might have been,
don’t you?
I know that the parents feel
more like commenting upon them
by saying "keep it up" instead
of "we don’t want to see this
ignin”. or “you must bring these
grades up.”
We will try to print the honor
roll next week We certainly
hope there are many more names
on ii (Iiis time than there was
iasl. Lots all try to have our
names on it by the end of six
weeks.
NOTICE
Friendship
No matter how prominent or how
numerous the advocates of error may
lie, that is no reason Why you should
espouse It. Personal friendship is one
thing, friendship for error is (julto an-
other tiling.
God's Name
As Phtdlns contrived his mechanism
so that tils memory could never bo ob-
literated without the destruction of his
work, so the grout mono of God Is
Interwoven in the texture of all that
he hns made.

We have planned a little con-
test in our Journalism class. We

tire new slat)'. They are to give

Watch for the next edition of
The Plain Dealer. Maybe there
will lie something lols more in-
teresting in there than there lias
been in the past. Each staff is
competing against the other. See
which one you think Inis the best
news. Don’t: forget. Keep up with
the contest.
We are keeping news about

to Little America. He went there
two years ago. This lime In* went

SENIOR SO NO
(To the tune of "Have you ever
been Lonely.)
(By One of tin* Senior Class|
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Will you ever miss someone,
Like we’ll miss you?
Can't you see we're sorry
For each mistake we’ve made
But we've got to leave you
Watch tis make the grade.
If we ever come hack here, take
us into your heart
We are only the seniors trying
to take a part
If you knew just what we do
When we leave this dear old
school
would probably he lonely
and I know you’d lie blue.
