We turn aside ijday to consider the
second tempornr.ee 1kmi for the
year. Paul's letter to the rhurches
of Galatia strongly contrasts law and
graco. It's key verse is ch. 2:10, and
its most prominent word is "law."
many claim verso one of Chapter 5
as Its golden vcrbc. TIiIb final chap
ter Is a most practical ono and rich ia
suggestion regard ng our social rela
tions. Let each member come pre
pared to glvo a temperance applica
tion or to ask a temperance question.
I. "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens"
(vv. 1-5). If a man trespass, be sur
prised in a sin, be caught in the very
act. or surprised Into commlttlug ft
Bin, "ye which are spiritual" (literal
ly, guided and governed by the spirit:
ch. 6:16-25) are to restore such a
one. This is to te done, not by cut
ting off or casting aside the erring
one, but as a dislocated lnb Is re
stored to Its plao. so we are to "re
store" that ono tj his place as a be
liever; each belle er being a member
of the body of (urlst (I Cor. 12:12,
14, 27); ono who falls Into sin Is a dis
located limb or membor, and the
stronger ones are to restore him to
his proper place. This roust be done,
however, not wlto any senso or our
own Infallibility, but In meekness,
gentleness and with great tenderness.
(Seo II Tim. 2:24-20. Taul's reason
for this, "lest thju also bo tempted"
should lay low the prido any of us
who have not fallen might fool (v. 1;
Math. 7:2-5; Jos. 2:13). Instead of
exclaiming, "I could never have done
any such act." we ought rather to
Bay, "But for the (raco of God I might
have done even worse than that." (I
Cor. 10:13). Tho burdens (v. 2) or
weights which we i.re to bear are not
the unnecessary Jctalls of the Mosaio
lnw (Math. 23:4; Acts 13:10) but rath
er they are the temptations, weak
nesses and failures of others. Th
master "came no. to be ministered
unto but to minister" and was "tempt
ed in nil points," "touched with a feel
ing of our inflrmlt'cs" and in our thus
sharing with each other wo but follow
in his stops (t'h. 5:4; John 13:34.
15:12; Romans 15:3). This Is the "law
of Christ," not onerous, not a grievous
burden, not necessarily an obligation,
but a "law" because he. our "fPe lead
er." fully and perlectly exemplifies It
(Phil. 2:5-8). It is chlolly self-conceit
and spiritual pride (v. 3) which stands
In the way of gj"tlo forbearance in
dealing with our erring brothers. Such
pride does rot usually deceive others
(Jan. 1:22-24) and he who Is so con
trolled, "deeelvcth himself." We ara
to put our accomplishments, not be
cause of our brother's failure, but In
the work of others. Few of us can
glory much in oiiedves. and all are
to glory in that which Is the detita
to self, the cross of Christ (v. 14).
Paul's reason for this self testing la
that every man trust bear the "load"
(v. 5 R. V.) of hl own rriponKlbility,
and Is not held tesponsihlo for the
failure of nny but himself. (Rom.
12:12). Tho word "burden"' (t. 5)
fa not tho samo ac that In versn two.
We aro to help our brother bear hli
"burden" of temptation, but must earli
benr the "load" of his own respon
sibility to God. nch must answer for
hl3 own work.
II. "Whatsoever a Man Soweth"
vv. . wiuio cacn must so pear nis
burden, yet those who are tatipht ara
to help thoso whr teach to bear their
burdens by contrltuting "In all good
things" (Rom. 15:27; I Cor. 9:11-14).
ratil sounds a solemn warning to
thoso who refuse thus to help forward
tho work of righrcousness, those who
fail to support ot.iers and think that
tl-.elr selfishness will accrue to their
advnntago (v. 7). Tho natural world
has many illustrations of this Immut
able law. Men ma mock (sneer at)
this law, but find eventually that there
is no escape from Its operation. This
law has many applications. The on
in tho context Is, first, a physical on
(v. S), a most fa'i.lllar ono to us all.
Tho same Is trus uplrltunlly, and has
bten repeatedly Illustrated throughout
the history of the Christian church.
(II Cor. 9:5G; Prov. 11:24). In all
of our actions, physical, mental, moral,
social and spiritual, we reap what we .
sow; like in kind, sown sparlngly-wa
reap sparingly; abundantly, and wa
reap In abundance.
III. "We Shall Reap, If We Faint
Not" vv. 9-18. Paul now proceeds to
make the practical application. If wa
act under tho leadership of the Spirit
(See ch. 5:1625) we avoid carnal
mlndedness, and we are sowing to tho
Spirit and of the Spirit (who la life
John 6:63; II Cor. 3:6), we shall reap
"life eternal," I. Ilfo which Is end
less In duration iv.d divine In Its es
sence. There mu&' bo, however, per
sistence. We must not withhold tha
good 6eod nor retrain from sowing
It If we aro to tv p tho reward sug

do so withhold, cr should wo sow

wome fail to rcvp because of laxity;
others continue Cultivation too long;
still others, by oxcrlooklng their "op
portunity" to do good (v. 10) and
hence having not. sown, they cannot
reap.
Paul suggests (v. 12) that the sow
ing of which he speaks Is not for
any outward show, nor for conformity
to the edicts and regulations of men
In order to avoid persecution, (v. II
