(_d_) Which frees us from sin (2 Pet. 1:5; Acts 13:38, 39; Rom. 3:21, 26; Acts 15:9). (_e_) Leads us into salvation (Mark 16:16; John 1:12, 13). (_f_) Conquers this world (1 John 5:4, 5). (_g_) Gives us peace therein (Eph. 6:16; Rom. 5:1). (_h_) And finally eternal life (Rom. 1:17; John 3:16; 3:36). (2) The works from faith: (_a_) Faith alone is dead (Eph. 2:10; Jas. 2:14-26). (_b_) Faith a beginning (Jude 20; Col. 2:6, 7). (_c_) Of wondrous power (Mark 9:23; 11:22-24; Luke 17:5, 6). (_d_) Working out through love (1 Thess. 5:8; 1 Cor. 13:2; 13:13; Gal. 5:6; 1 John 3:23). (_e_) In miracle (Matt. 9:22; 9:29; Luke 8:50; Acts 3:16). (_f_) In history (Heb. 11: 32-34; Matt. 16:16; John 1:49; 11:25, 27; Acts 6:5; 8:37; 11:24). 4. Have I it? (_a_) There is false faith (1 Tim. 1:5). (_b_) The testing (2 Cor. 13:5; Jas. 1:3; 1 Pet. 1:6, 7). (_c_) The seeking (Phil. 1:27; Jude 3). (_d_) The keeping (1 Cor. 16:13; Heb. 10:38; Col. 1:23; 1 Tim. 1:18, 19; 6:12; 1 Pet. 5:8, 9). 5. Now and hereafter (2 Cor. 5:7; 1 Cor. 13:12). Manifestly, when this plan is carried out, there will be scant time for the regular lesson; probably no time at all. The next Sunday two lessons must be recited. But your topical study has grown out of the regular lessons, and in its turn will excite in them fresh interest. It is obvious that each teacher must choose his own topics and make his own outlines, suited to his own methods of thought, and to the age and intelligence of his class. The above was used in a class of young men, college students in part. Themes of an entirely different nature might well be chosen,--a view of Christ's miracles or parables or sermons, of Old Testament miracles, or of sacred history in some one line. It might even be found profitable, as it surely would be interesting, to collate, arrange, and discuss Scripture references to the eye, the ear, birds, flowers, trumpets. To my mind, some such occasional excursion as this seems to lead the scholars, especially those approaching manhood and womanhood, to a more comprehensive and methodical knowledge of the riches of the best Book, and to one of the most resultful methods of studying it. Chapter XIX Introducing Thoughts A little child once declared that she liked a certain sermon because there were so many "likes" in it. For the same reason, that same child would have liked Christ as a Sunday-school teacher. And we teachers will gain Christ's success in the same measure as we gain his power of putting the whole universe back of our thought.
