"Yes." said Joseph, "and I was sitting at home, looking for Ephesians, and says I to myself, "'Tis nothing but Corinthians and Thessalonians in this danged Testament." when who should come in but Henery there: "Joseph," he said, "the sheep have With Bathsheba it was a moment when thought was blasted theirselves " With Bathsheba it was a moment when thought was speech and speech exclamation.

Paul was not afraid to lift up his voice on these extremely practical subjects, and even now, the sixth chapter of Ephesians is far from out of date: "Servants," he says, turning to the one class, "be obedient to them that are your masters .... not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart."

"Still a man mayna ken't, though he daursna deny't! Nane but them 'at follows whaur he leads, can ken that he verily is." "We must beware of private interpretation!" suggested James.

Ephesians iii. 3-6. This day is the feast of the Epiphany. Epiphany, as many of you know, means 'shewing, because on this day the Lord Jesus Christ was first shewn to the Gentiles; to the Gentile wise men who, as you heard in the Gospel, saw his star in the east, and came to worship him.
