l e a l l readily see that in our lessor, today, we are developing this spiritual wen, or we ara going along with Casus in the regeneration. New thio l e a process :n whiah we are patting en tha Christ, we are letting Christ be foraed in us. Mew this ideal Nan, tha real baa.. . in t i l s process, ws find that the natural man, who la now being tat aside i s a t i l l asserting his layer-Una e.

In the Lesson today, tha importance of the natural man lo being assarted. New we have to mast the-n claims of tha natural aan and find nut Just where thoy f i t Into the spiritual awa, bseause the pi ritual Man Is tha heal Man. And la tha ltsoon today we find that tha argument 1st that tha natural awn, or tha faculties of the natural nan, tha rater and tha James and tha John, representing our faith and our love and our under­standing ate. , they ere asserting their iayortanos and arguing as to who la the greatest j who i s going to be the greatest In this Searing kingdom.

Right here, we have to meet this ambitious mam; and the ambitious man isn't so bad after e l l . be wouldn't got very far in our development, unless we haws oartaln ambitions to attain. Tha queetl-i ef oauras i s i *NAT and hTJl ara wa letting this ambition aasart i t s e l f . la i t assarting i t se l f self ishly er unselfishly! Is i t asserting l toslf aa a l i t t l e ohlld- that la, rsoeptivtlyf

Jesus used the symbol of a l i t t l e ohlld to represent the receptive attitude ef mind in which one should be who i s putting on tha Christ; and w* a l l knew what a l i t t l e ohlld ropraseatai ha repr-«-enta native confidence, that i s , natural faith, and he believes ev­erything that he la told* The l i t t l e child doesn't take much of tha logic into consider­ation, but he takes the facta; ha takes certain things in trustjhs simply ballavos.

Tha father and nether aaid to tha guoata, "Bo r ight • t i l l , jar.'t pay any attantion than, la don't know what thay ara up to . But thay aro evidently doing •(•nothing of vnat importance to than." In*toad of questioning tha oh i l -dran, thay want to their kinderjar tan tooohar. from her thay learned that they had a now gone of whioh they (tha parents) hadn't baan told "Mann hao *iiaoppoaring' ( tora l ( ln -torruptlng) Vnnie^na; oroan (ootto rooo) (Laughter)) disappearing oroan upatalri .

If wo would only ronoebar thia and know that wo should bel ieve and have ample faith in what io told ua, what la written in tho Paokl

I think thnt tho Bible hao boon a wonderful guide to ^hriatiano who really bel ieved. ?u" thora oonaa a l i t t l e bugbear, and that l a , you f inal ly reaoh a plaoe whan you aook for your understanding to bo brought into a*nlf*e*a'lon, and here's whore, o i a rule , wo have trouble oeonueo tho understanding aooo tho abi l i ty of tho won, and i t bog in• to la -

That*a where you have trouble with your ambition. And oo wo find that wo men go with thia obedlont opir i tual nan a* ho unfolds and bring into roaIl lat ion tho awtn of Sp ir i t with a l l hia powers.

mow th i s weano If wo go along with Jaaua and aarvo—Jaauo taught aervieei whatever wo did, I t nuot bo oorvieo--Paul say a J •fe art Tod's follow-workort." Jid you over r t a l -l i o that you are rea l ly , whan you understand your apirltual roaouroa, you ore tha mags and Llkanooo of Ood In idea and that you are forming that laaga and llkonoaa in nanlfao-ta t len , i f you hava ifl mind that one idea, you nuat work with Frlnolpel , with Ood. Hero you anphasls* that work in 'lie Noma.

Vo aoo on every aide the works of those who really love their work* If youlovo your work, you w i l l oaproaa tha Ji .-lna Law under tha 'John Jlrpanaatlon' — you w i l l LOYI your work. You aoo. And i f you love your work, you w i l l do good work, whatever i t nay ba.

I t la aaid abou* »tradivnriua, the groat maker of v i o l i n s , that a vary grant bat un­principled painter en* day anearad at stradlvarlus far waiting of hla talanta In naming v i o l i n s , and hs soornad the potty praatioa.

My work ia mine. If ay hand alaok, 2 Should rob Bod, also a la lo tha ful­ness of good and Ho oeu l l not make Andonio -ftradiveriue v io l ins without Antoniol"

That la a real inoidont thara, that Ood couldn't io a oartain work without you—with­out BO. Lota of paopla can do just aa ;ood work at you ara d o i n g . . . . . 0 , aetap'ryaloo i o for good atudontol Noll thay nay do aa good work as wo ara doing., but 'not as good work I I I u doing—as you are d o i n g , ' . . . .aoi l ikos ovoryono of no or ig inal . l ike tho diamond having nany faoata, doing many kind* of work.
