HE Christian standard ot lite —
which many of us interpret
wrongly—is defined clearly tor
| those who will turn to the inter
pretation given by Paul, a great
master Christian, to his.early dis-
ciples in his Ephesus church.
Paul was a man ‘who had
learned Christ,” and that is what
he sets down as the one great
foundation of all Christian liv-
ing. We cannot follow Christ, we
| cannot understand His precepts
{or emulate His example, unless
we have so lived with Him and
so taken His teaching into our
lives that we have learned from
Him as a Master.
What is this deepest of all
truths in Jesus that Paul says we
may learn of Christ? It is the les-
son that our lives can be recreated
and renewed, that we can put on
{ what Paul calls ‘‘the new man
created in righteousness and holi-
1 ness,” putting away all the evil
attitudes and evil words and evil
acts that are associated with the
“old man.”
* ond ®
AUL, who saw the Christian
life in all its largeness and com-
| prehensiveness, saw it also in its
most minute details of daily liv-
ing. The large life of love and
righteousness and truth was to be
manifest in a restraint upon evil
| temper and upon a hasty tongue.
The more truly man had his
the more inevitably would he re-
| frain from evil habits and prac-
| tices.
Paul saw this Christian life as
a life of self-control and discipline,
but as a life of elemental peace,
heart set upon the higher things,
The Meaning of Christian Life
because disharmony and discord
had been overcome through grace.
To him the Christian life was one
of a supreme joy that could not
be shaken even by suffering and
persecution.
In his own life he showed that,
even in the darkness of a prison,
with his feet fast in the stocks, he
and his companion could sing
songs and praises to God. It
means much to have an experience
like that, but Paul believed that
it was an experience that was pos-
sible for every Christian.
* * *
IT was not some great mirac-
ulous thing to which only a
few could attain;
people, even
but common
those whose lives
had been marred by gross sins
and wrong attitudes, could find
such peace and joy through the
re-creation of their lives by the
power of Christ.
This is the standard of Chris-
tian living. Cur lesson is given
as an international temperance
lesson, but the standard applies
to every aspect of life and to
everything that would weaken or
destroy the soul's integrity and
strength.
Paul saw men and women giv-
ing themselves over to evil habits
and evil practices in the hope of
finding some stimulation and in-
toxication, as young folks today
would say “getting a kick out of
life.” He pointed out a higher
way.
It was not a way of mere nega-
tion or of dumbness; it was a
way also of inspiration and of
stimulation amounting even to
intoxication. But Paul’s words
were, ‘“‘Be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess: but be filled
with the Spirit.”
That {is intoxication to some

Horse Pioneered Way
For Mcdern Food System
of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
““TN"HE red wagon trail blazed by
horse - drawn wagons through
the hub-deep mud of the highways
of the last half of the 1800’s pio-
neered the way for the modern sys-
J. T. Patten, oldest living member
Company organization, which is
celebrating its 75th Anniversary
this month. “Horses, though rarely
given credit, played as important a
part in the development of modern
food distribution as they did in set-
tling the West,” Mr. Patten stated.
“In the 1870’s when 1 started in
the grocery business,” Mr. Patten
continued, “transportation wasn’t as
good as it is now. Many of our cus-
tomers could not get to the stores
for their supplies. But then as now,
our company believes that large vol-
ume of business results in reduced
prices. This volume was obtained by
mail, and by sending supplies to out-
lying customers in these little red,
horse-drawn wagons.
“The routes of these wagons radi-
ated from the stores in the cities
like the spokes in a wheel. Each
wagon would start off loaded, deliv-
ering the tea and coffee ordered a
week before, taking the orders for
the week after from the housewives
along the route. These early A&P
wagon routes, of course, had to
struggle through knee-deep mud and
snow, ford streams; fight their way
through. But they were welcome
when they arrived, for they not only
brought these groceries at low
prices, which was an innovation in
those days, but also news of the
outside world and gossip of the
tem of food distribution,” declared ’
Moses Found by Pharaoh’s Daughter.— When Moses was born his mother hid him three months, evading Pha-
raoh’s command that the Hebrew male babies were to be cast into the river. “And when she could not longer
~ hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and put the child therein; and she laid it by the river's brink.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to
~ wash herself at the river; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent one of her maidens to fetch it. And
when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had eompassion on him, and
said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. Then saith his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to
thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto
And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his
name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.”—Ex. 2: 3-10. From Merian’s story of the

neighborhood. They also brought a
gift for each customer, ¢ colored
chromo, a piece of china or bric-a-
brac. Many of these pieces are stilk
prized possessions of their owners.
“The idea was quite successful. 1
remember that in 1896 when Uncle
Sam established the rural free de-
livery, we used to say he was copy-
ing our system of ‘rural food de-
livery’ for we had 1,500 wagons at
that time.
Gave Way to Present System
“People began to ask these wag-
ons to carry other foods. Soon the
lists of foods that customers wanted
were greater than any wagon could
carry, even with the improved roads
that were being built at the end of
the first decade of this century.
“But by this time other means of
transportation had developed. Cities
had grown, and the wagon routes
had built up trade to the point where
it was possible to open little grocery
stores in almost every town, in fact
in almost every neighborhood.
“But for.a long time after that the
horse-drawn truck with its beautiful
Percheron beasts was more econom-
ical than the motor truck for city
deliveries, long after the auto be-
came a practical vehicle for trans-
portation.
“When the first funny-looking
horseless carriages passed my store,
I had no more idea than anybody
else that 1 would live to see ridicu-
lous gasoline buggies make the world
an entirely different place to live
in,” Mr. Patten concluded. “In a way
I was sorry to see those hundreds of
fine horses we used to have go, but 1
suppose they would be uneconomi-
cal in the world now.” ee
