Precedent.
“Of course,” observed the man with
a ponderous Intellect, "we must show
the deepest respect for precedent.”
“Of course,” assented the man with
a fountain pen. “But that’s no ex-
cuse for going ahead writing ‘1919.’ ”

"J don’t believe It. I played golf

“Christian Love Upon Society.
I. The Origin of Love (vv. 7, 8).
Love Is of God, for God is love. God
not merely loves, but he Is the foun-
tainhead of love. Love of country,
love of humanity, filial and parental
love, every particle of love everywhere
has been derived from.God ; his love Is
Infinite, eternal and unchangeable.
Since love Is of God, everyone who
loves Is born of God and knoweth God.
The Christian, by his life of love, In-
terprets God to the world. It Is not
enough that the world should be told
that God Is good and kind, It should
see his nature expressed In the life
and love of the disciple. The Chris-
tian’s life Is the world’s Bible. Where
love Is wanting, knowledge of God Is
wanting.
II. God’s Manifestation of Love (vv.
9, 10).
God's method of mnklng known his
love Is through the Incarnation—the
sending of his only begotten Son into
the world to be the propitiation for
our sins (John 3:10). The coming of
Jesus Christ Into the world and his
taking on human nature makes possi-
ble life for those who receive him. If
we would know God’s love, let us look
at Jesus Christ. Those who gaze upon
him In reverent contemplatiqn cannot
doubt God’s love.
III. The Supreme Motive of Love
(v. 11).
God’s love Is the grand Incentive
prompting his children to love.
IV. Love the Proof That God Dwella
With Us (vv. 12-10).
1. No man hnth seen God at any
time (v. 12), hut there is abundant
proof of his being. The one unmistak-
able proof of his being is love In the
heart of man. Love Is not native to
the human heart, for the heart Is de-
ceitful above all things and desperate-
ly wicked (Jer. 17:9). Out of the
heart proceeds murder (Matt. 15:19).
Love In the heart Is proof that God
dwells within.
2. Love^oves that God’s Spirit Is
within us (vv. 13-16). The fruit of the
Spirit Is love (Gal. 5:22). God’s Spirit
dwells within his children. The In-
dwelling Spirit shows us Christ and
makes us believe In him us God’s Son,
the Savior of the world. Those in
whom God dwells will ulways make
this confession. Those who deny the
Deity of Christ have no fellowship
with God. and those who have fellow-
ship with God will confess Christ as
his Divine Son.
V. Love's Relation to the Judgment
(vv. 17, IS).
It ousts out fear. A judgment day Is
coming, for God hath appointed a duy
in which he will Judge the world In
righteousness by that man w’hom he
hath ordained (Acts 17:31). It will be
a terrible tiling for those unprepared
to meet God at that time, but for
those who are Indwelt by the living
God there will be a joyful meeting. lie
that dwelleth In God and God in him
will renllze the perfection of love In
boldness In the duy of judgment, be-
cause as he Is so are we In this world
(vv. 16, 17). The way to get rid of
the fear of meeting God In the judg-
ment Is to be living w-lth God now.
VI. God's Love the Ground of All
Love (v. 19).
The reason we love Is that our lives
have come Into touch with the great
fountainhead of love. The Incoming
of God’s being and nature becomes the
unimating and controlling principle of
our lives. The one in whom love Is
not the master principle does not
know God.
VII. The Child of God Possesse«
Dual Love (v. 20).
The proof that one loves the unseen
God is that he loves the person visible
who bears the likeness and Image of
God, and has become a member of the
same family through the redemption
in Christ Jesus. Love to God and man
Is united In the one breast of the
Christian. The one who hates his
brother while pretending to love God
Is a liar.
VIII. The Solemn Command From
God (v. 21).
God commands that those who love i
him should love their brethren. Obe-
dience to this command will eliminate
all wur und contentions.
