ian communism: nor yet to the • paganism that is lifting its head 1 so arrogantly in Germany; nor ’ even to the heathen qualities ini l Japan's ideals and polities. | 1 Far deeper runs the evil. Civil-1 ization, and all three of the major i ‘ loyalties, are menaced hy a spirit i 1 of crass materialism, hy self-in-dulgence and pleasure-seeking, by shameless carnality and by an in- 1 dividualism that Is starkly anti-' 1 Christian. Spirituality, idealism, ■ : and the higher destiny of man is 1 for the moment subordinated to a , mood of superficialism and of ap , search for personal pleasure and 1 comfort. To read many contemporary discussions, one might infer 11 that human beings are merely phy-, sical creatures, without soul needs | Clear Truth For Foggy Times Rugged old Peter, in his earlier experiences, occasionally got his I loyalties mixed. But when life and! religion had ripened him. he, saw j truth clearly and as a whole. So itis counsel, written in his age from amidst the teeming, problem-filled I life of a great city, has been good for the centuries; and it seems particularly timely for these foggy | ' days, when so many minds cannot see straight. i Peter drove straight to the center of the subject, which he declared to be the souls of men. He conceived of men and women as , ' spiritual beings. He might have, been the author of the apothegm. "We have bodies; we are soils." In the blunt, direct, clear-cut j ’ speech of a man of action, he 1 taught the Christians should live. I not for the gratification of fleshly appetites, but for the development 1 of their spirits. Our times have gone in tragical- ' ly for sex and show and pleasureseeking. But Peter's times were worse. He saw all of our con- ’ temporary evils in an intensified form. Any man who has' visited Pompef, or is otherwise familiar with the Roman and Greek life of » I f Peter’s day, knows that he lived in the very midst of the apotheosis i ! of carnality. The prevailing religions were interwoven with it— ' , as, indeed, is the idolatry of the t ! Orient today. Without mincTng words, Peter . I proclaimed a Christian order of society that was diametrically oppos‘‘For the time past of our life • may suffice us to have wrought the • will of the Gentiles, 'hen we walk»led in lasciviousness, lusts, excess • of wine, retellings, banquetings, • and abominable idolatries; where- • in they think it strange that ye run " not with them to the same excess . ot riot, speaking evil of you; who shall give account to Him that is - ■ I—- ■

ready to judge the quick and the dead." Doomed By Carnality Peter is more explicit than our I own otate.smen and publicists; jthough those tire -o.«iy crying ttloud for the aid of religion ami spiritually in meeting of our present problems. They see. and say. that a wholly mechanical and leg , allstic civilization Is utterly inada- , quate. Through their many state- ( ments one may hear Nurse Edith f'avell's words, as she was led be-1 fore a war-tim firing squad: "Patriotism Is not enough." Behind this | n< eeaaary loyalty, there must be a fidelity to God. More important Hum utterances and actions of statesmen and legislative bodies—yes, and more definitely contributing to real patriotism—is the work of the preachers and parents and Sunday school I teachers who are inculcating the l Scriptural standards of life in hit-! | man hearts. Prevalent crime has a-1 roused the public to sbihething like ! a state of panic; yet crime can, 'never be prevented by the punish ■ I ment and control of criminals. The | prevention of criminal tendencies. I hy right moral and religious train- ! ing of youth, is the reul answer to this problem. Many judges have! said, "If boys go to Sunday school? ithey will not come before ns." "A fence at the top of a precipice is better than an ambulance at tile bottom." Similarly, and more generally, it j iis obvious to all clear thinkers that a nation devoted to carnality i and materialism is ultimately doom ' led; for if the fine fibre of idealism j land spirituality is lost then the natitvn itself must perish. There is a 1 high consistency in Peter's linking■his teachings concerning citizen- ‘ ship with the uttermost spiritual! jobligations. Be loyal to Christ, and I there will be no difficulty about j I fidelity to the State. Peter On Patriotism All the ♦hile that he was busy las a real radical—that is, changing life at its roots Peter was • 'proclaiming loyalty to the existing government, even though that Gov-' ernment was tyrannous and terr-1 I ible Rome. He had a greater objective in view than the overturning of a particular form of government; he was out to make new men and. women. Christianity afifected the Roman Empire, not by revolution, but by Christianization. For. after all. a government is on- ■ ly as good as its people. So Peter stressed loyalty. His I admonition to disciples to be sub- , ject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake is a profound bas--1 is for the study of what makes a good citizens. And his ringing sentences: '*■ Honor all men, Love the brotherhood, Fear God, Honor the king." have been the text of countless patriotic sermons. Peter ts a wise counsellor to admit to our everpresent discussions ot the problems of. government and life.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—What Makes a Good Citizen YOI'NG PEOPLE AND ADt'l.T TOPlC—Reeponethilltles of a Good Citizen. I In order to get nn Intelligent grasp of today’s lesson one must get li view of the entire Epistle a« to Its purpose and method. The pur pose was to establish all who were passing through suffering mid testing (see 1:7; .3:11; 4:12: 5:10-42) The principles of Christian behavior set forth In this text are of a broader acope than citizenship. . They embrace, I. Behavior as Pilgrims and So journers (vv. 11. 12). Christiana are really sojourners on the earth. They have not their , permanent home here. They are , journeying through the earth on their way to their eternal home 1 In the lieavens. Their heavenly citizenship (Phil. 3:20) should constrain them to the maintenance of conduct consistent with their high calling. 1. Abstain from fleshly lusts (v. 11). The term “lusts” here Includes ' the entire army of unclean forces ' springing from mir carnal natures They are enumerated in Galatians 5:19-21. 2. Behavior among the Gentiles or heathen (v. 12). The word conver- * sntion here means behavior, Christians are under obligation to so live as to render Impossible for the * world to speak evil against them as evil-doers. j 11. Behavior as Citizens (vv. 13- | 17). > While the Christian's true citizenship Is In heaven, he has a responsl- » hllity as a citizen on the earth dnr- } Ing his earthly sojourn. He should t be In submission to properly consti tilted authority. 1. Obey all requirements nf civil rulers (v. 13). Fidelity to Christ 8 Is shown hy loyalty to civil author * Ity. The Intelligent Christian recognizes file necessity of governB ment and graciously submits to those In authority over him. regard less of the form of government, t His duties ns a citizen he perforins as the lord's free man. not through - servile fear. Government even of a low order is better than anarchy. Free submission to governmental authority puts to silence tlie tgj norance of foolish men (vv. 15. 10). t 2. Honor all men (v. 17). The q Christian sees in every man the Image nf God and wfll, therefore give him the honor due him. This t applies to all relations wherein we p touch human life. 3. Love the brotherhood (v. 17). . The brotherhood is composed of . those who are children of God by faith in Jesus Christ. 4. Fear God (v. 17). This means to recognize God's sovereignty, righteousness, and holiness, and properly to reverence him 5. Honor the king (v. 17). This had a peculiar significance nt Hie time this was written, because In all probability the wicked Nero wns then reigning n« the emperor. 111. Behavior In a World of Opposition (I Pet 4:1-5). 1. Arm for the conflict (v. 1). ' Christians are engaged In a tremen- . dims conflict with evil forces within and without. Satan and his angels are bent on the liellevers' dei feat and destruction. 2. The salutary effect of suffer1 ing (v. 1). Suffering has a remedial effect upon God's children. The one who suffers with Christ as an ; example will have the consciousness Hint It Is his Identity with ■ Christ that calls forth the oppo.sl Hon of the world. 3. God's will the regulating force of his life (v. 2). The will of God. j not the lusts of the flesh. Is the dl- ’ rectlng force of the believer's life. 4. The consciousnes of a wasted ! life (v. 3). looking back upon a i wasted life in serving the lusts of tlie flesh will move one to give no more time to serving such a master. 5. The attitude of the world toward the one who separates himself from It (v. 4). The world speaks evil of those who will not go Its way. The world not only wonders at the life of the Christian who separates himself from its pleasures, such as dancing, card playing, wine drinking, etc., but will heap upon him nicknames of reproach. fl. Account shall be given (v. 5). The Christian should so live ns to be able to render a good account to God. Fellowship With God Every mental movement and religions activity of life should he a ! I heartfelt plea for deeper and sweeti | er fellowship with God. I
