GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.
(Temperance Lesson,.)
True ministry Is In the exercise of
Kplrltuul gifts (Kph. 4:715)'. ,J-ery
believer Is a meinher of the body of
Christ, and therefore has a dollnlt
ministry. Though tho gifts are di
verse, all ure equally honorable be
cause they lire bestowed, administered
and energized by the Holy Spirit.
Love alone gives value to the ministry
of any gift.
I. Fill the Gift With Love (vv. 1-3).
Just as the body Is dead unless n liv
ing soul nl. ides In and Inspires It, so
Is the gift unless filled with the spirit
of love. This Is the "more excellent
way" to which 1'ntil nmkes reference
at the conclusion of Chapter V2. hi
praising love I'niil does not full Into
the error of criticizing others, not oven
Ids followers, nud sun;;"st.x thut even
he may be .vnutiug lu this trull. The
Corinthians were eager to uttiilu ex
cellence and to be prominent in wis
dom and philosophy ; to understand
the world In which tiny lived; to be
scholars and teachers and Improve
and correct society. Paul therefore
shows how vain are such things unless
filled with the motive of love. (1) The
gift of tongues. The saints in th
church at Corinth seem to have been
particularly gifted In this direction,
and to have been proud of It, (Ch. 14:
2-21) and oilier to outstrip the others.
I'uul tells them that such boasting
amounts to little. Tho grace of love
Is a fa more excellent way. (2) The
gift of prophecy. The New Testament
prop.'iet was a forth-teller, not n teller
of the future. To be u forth-teller was
a thing to be coveted and udmlred, but
not unless accompanied by love. (3)
Miracle working. A man can liavo
this In the most powerful form con
ceivable, and yet If he has not love,
ho Is nothing. (I) P.enevolenee. You
enn give till you have for the most
philanthropic purpose, to feed th
poor, and If you have not love you are
"nothing." How many false hopes
this will nnnilhllate (see Mathew 0:1
4; 23:.). (.') Martyrdom. Give the body
to die at the stake, and It will brlns
no great reward. The supreme gift,
the one absolute essential. Is love,
can stop It.
II. Love Is Known by Its Mani
festations (vv. 4-7). Having shown th.v
absolute necessity of love Paul shows
how we may recognize It. The behav
ior of love can he seen and known.
Paul set for us l.r manlfestntlons. (1)
Love suffered! long. Love Is no pass
ing emotion, hut a fixed thought. (2)
it Is kind. Kindness in action, love
lit work. (3) Love envlelh not. It
does not grow out of sellihness, for
selfishness Is the very opposite of love.
(4) Love vnunteth not itself, does not
climb to the housetops to proclaim Its
glory. (.") Is not puffed up. There Is
no Inflation, like a soap bubble, to
dazzle the eye. (0) loes not behave
Itself unseemly, that Is without deli
cacy of feeling. Unseemly conduct
grows from pride and selfishness,
whereas love Is the foundation of true
courtesy. (7) Seeketh not her own. Is
not looking out for self first of all. (8)
Is not easily provoked; good tempered,
not Irritable. To lose one's temper Is
a dangerous evil. The evil Is not so
much In the temper but In our failure
to control It. (0) Thlnketh no evil.
Puts the best construction upon th
nets of others, making nil possible al
lowances. (10) Kejoleeth not In Ini
quity. (11) Kejoleeth In the truth, that
Is, Is In sympathy with nil that Is true.
(12) P.enreth all things; endureth
hardships and trials for the working
out of the kingdom. (13) Bclievcth alt
things; not credulous but putting the
best construction upon the words of
others, and having faith in the final
outcome of every good cause. (14)
llopeth all things; Is not discouraged
In the dark ond shadowy days. (13)
Endureth nil things; It goes on believ
ing and hoping to the end; no obstacle
can stop It. Surely such a catalogue
of the marks of love Is enough to
n nke us all pause and meditate.
III. The Permanence of Life (vv.
8-13). The word "falleth" here denotes
falling In the sense of cessation, and
love Is contrasted with three typical
but passing forms of Christian ex
pression. (1) "Prophecies;" not tho
things prophesied but tho gift' or net
of prophesying (v. 3) which at best
can only partially express God's word.
Prophecy will pass away In the fuller
vision and wider knowledge of God
"Who is love." (2) "Tongues." The
time will come when they will not be
needed ns a sign nor to enable us to
express our varied emotions. The di
vinely Inspired prophecies tell but a,
part of whut Is yet to be. (3) "Knowl
edge." It shall bo done away In tho
fuller knowledge of the eternal world
ns the light of the stars vanish before
the rising sun. When Ihat which Is
perfect Is come these lights will be
seen to be only like the separate stones
of a quarry which can only be fully
understood when the whole hulldlng
Mnnds before us In Its completion.
Paul gives nn Illustration of this truth
from the familiar case of the growing
child (vv. 11, 12). In conclusion (v.
13) faith,' hope, love abldeth, three
graces, lmperlshablo and Immortal.
"Hope Is a touutntn; faith draws the
water and drinks; love distributes the
water to others," Pr. J. II. Jowett: Hut
the greatest of these la love, (a) Love
Is greater In Its nature. It brings us
closer to God, making ns partakers of
his nature. It Is the one thing with
out which faith and hope are of little,
avail, (b) It Is powerful as an 1
fluence for good and the strongest mo
tive for the upbuilding of diameter.
(c) It Is universal, reaching people of
every degreo, land and nation. The
longer one lives the more love ho can
have. It grows and has on Increasing
blessedness aud glory.
