Our readings this week continue in 1 Corinthians, and include the first five chapters of 2 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians was written to correct Judaising tendencies and some fearful sins that had crept in among some members of the church. But Paul learned from Titus, in Macedonia, probably in the year 56 A.D., that his first epistle had had the desired effect, but that there were still teachers there opposing his influence and depreciating his apostolic authority; and this called out his second epistle, in which he pours out the love of his heart for his converts. It has been said that these two epistles, more than any others, reveal to us the personality of their writer, and also the inner life of a great Christian congregation in the apostolic age.

— We have a richness of reading in the Psalms this week. Psalm 90 was written by Moses. Psalm 91 is of especial comfort to God's people in the calamities of the last days.
