There will ho no services this evening. Be True to Yourself By Harlowe R. Hoyt It was at the well of Jacob, at no great distance from the village of Sychar, that Jesus sat at nightfall after a day’s travel through the land of the Samaritans. With his companions, he sought Qalilee; 1 and to reach this country, he left Jerusalem and of his own choice journeyed through a country whose people, for centuries, iad been inimical to the Jews. There, in the cool of the evening. as he sat alone awaiting the return of his companions. Jesus beheld a Samaritan woman drawing water. He asked a drink. She wondered that a hated Jew should ask a favor of a Samaritan, especially a woman of such a reputation as hers. It was to this woman that, for the first time. Jesus declared himself to H? the Messiah. There was no reason for his thus declaring himself at this l time. He had engaged an argui ment with her wherein he exI pounded his teachings and wherein she responded with the Samari- 1 tan belief that a Messiah would! come. Then Jesus declared hint ! self. He might have chosen a time, I when he was addressing the multij tude*. He might have selected an ) opportunity in the temple of I Jerusalem, where words would I have been carried far and near. | But instead he spoke to this poor i woman; and she. in an ecstacy of I religious fervor. brought her i countrymen to be converted. Jesus was no opportunist. He I met each situation as it presented i its problem. He was not afraid to 1 declare his purpose; and once deI dared, he never wavered from It. He was true to himself. Let J us, who follow his teachings, seek ; to emulate him if ever so humbly. “This above all; to thine own [ self be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou cans’t not then be false to any man.” i . o First Baptist Church A. B. Brown, pastor "Trust in the Lord with all thine i heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding.

I Hh I of this is the more magnificent due to its elaborate carving and brilliant coloring. This was erected by Sett 1 and completed by Ramages H. East of this hall is a court surrounded by Osiride figures in which are two gigantic red granite obelisks. These were erected by Queen Hatsepsu of the 18th dynasty. This Is not the only temple to be found on this site. Other temples at no great distance from the main building are those of Ptah | and Hathor. of Amenhotep 111. and Horembeb. The whole forms an interesting relic of a vanished civilization ami of a religion of which only these crumbling ruins remain to tell of false gods and idols of stone.

JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN 1 - — | L |- - - -

A I H

In the first year of his ministry, Jesus decided to leave Jerusalem and its Pharasaical opposition and journey into Galilee to preach. The shortest route that he could select was one leading •hrough Samaria, whose residents were hated by the Jews because of quarrels of long standing. I However, Jesus decided to take the road through this unfriendly territory.

With his plans made, Jesus set out with his disciples. All day long the little band traveled on and when night tell they had covered a distance of thirty miles and were nearing the village of Sychar. A mile from this town they came upon a well dug by the patriarch Jacob and known as Ja.-ob’s Well. His companions went on to the village to buy food but Jesus remained.

What was their religion? I 5. Why did Jesus decide to journey through Samaria? 6. What was Jacob's Well? 7. Who was the Samaritan woI man? 8. What message did Jesus give her? 9. How was she affected by it? i 10. What followed upon this ' conversation? ANSWERS 1. The setting of today's lesson lis near Sychar. in Samaria, in December or January 27 A. D. 2. Jesus had been preaching, for the greater part, in and around Jerusalem. His teachings were being accepted, and his followers were renouncing religious forms and observances for the I simpler practices. This enraged i the Pharisees, who saw their i power waning, and they started | to oppose Jesus in every way. So I he decided to seek a new field in I Galilee. 3. Th? Samaritans were the \ i residents of Samaria to the north, lof Judaea. When the northern i : kingdom fell. Sargon carried into j captivity nearly 28.000 inhabitants, ; introducing in their place idolaters | | from Babylonia. Hamath and Arabia. A mixed people resulted ■ whom the Jews would not recogI nize. In revenge, these people I long delayed the rebuilding of the ' temple. Then they built their own i temple on Mount Gerizim. 4 At the time of Christ, the re-i I ligion of the Samaritans was i Isomewhat like that of the SadduI cees. They accepted the Penta- | tench as the Bible; rejected the | rest of the Old Testament: and

As Jesus sat upon the low wall which ran near the well, a Samaritan woman came with a vessel to draw water. "Give me a drink,” Jesus requested. The woman complied, but curiosity compelled her to ask: “How is it that thou, a Jew, ask drink of me, a Samaritan women?” “If thou knewest the gift of God and who it is asketh thee, thou wouldst have asked and he would have given water,” Jesus answered.

f looked for the coming of the' Messiah. 5. The nearest route to Galilee, i whither he desired to travel, was i through the counity of the hatred I Santari ans. Jesus decided to! follow it. thinking, perhaps, tbit' he might make converts on the' way. 6. Jacob's Weli was a well | about one mile from the village ot i Sychar. It was said to have been ' built by the patriarch Jacob. Typi-1 cal of the wells of that day. it■ was surrounded by a low wall. 7. The Samaritan woman was I a person of bad leputation. Bod cause of the fact that she was of depraved character, it is more notable that Jesus sought her for a convert. 8. Most important of all his statements to her was that in j which he made his first open j | declaration of his Messiahship: “I that speak unto thee am he." 9. The Saman'an woman was so affected by the message of Jesus that she returned to the I village and brought the residents! 1 back with her to hear him. 10.
