FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT
THE EPISTLE
The verses for the Epistle are taken from the Romans. In that treatise St. Paul dealt with certain great theological truths. His main theme is the explanation of righte- ousness, and of the way in which God has revealed 'his purpose of giving righteousness to men. But, when the apostle has completed his theological argument be turns to some very practical consider- ations concerning the duties that the individual owes to the society in which he lives, and of which he is a member. The Epistle appoint- ed for two Sundays ago, and taken from the same chapter dealt with one of these, the duty of the individual to the authorities of his
