the Eternal. From the One Hundred and Third Psalm we have the i Sublime words, which ure this Les , son's Golden Text. "Like as a father pitieth his children so Jehovah pitieth his children, so Jehova pitieth them that fear Him." Exper--1 ience of God is simply relationship • with a Father Who has all of a hu- ' man parent's best qualities, raised ■ to the nth degree. Jesns taught ; that the approach in prayer is al- ' ways to he to “Otar Father Who art iti heaven." i Bigger Thah Theology Real harm has been done to tin- ’ counted myriads of sensitive spirits by the old theologians who at- ■ tempted to define God's nature too > minutely. They could not compass • the Infinite, and some of their doc- . trines have been stumbling blocks on the road to the Father's presi enee. What Jesus said about God should be enough for any of us; i and His word was ever, "Father." One familiar harsh definition pici tured God as a pursuing Eye, ever i watching for offense, like the jail.tor at the peep-hole in a cell door. • If a figure should be used, it might better be that of a mother, looking I in upon a sleeping babe to see if all is well with the child; or of a I father, watching his children at i play, with joy in their happiness, i i pride in their achievements, and compassion for : their blunders. God's eye is ever i .the loving eye of a father. So let us not go to the theolog- ■ . ians, but to Jesus, for an under- ■ standing of the Father. Whose love ■ lis complete. Once, as a small hoy. • I lay, as was supposed, dying. The ■ death fog that obscures all had • gathered closb about me. My dear i old pastor. who had been summon- . od to death-bed had to put his I face very close to mine, as he niur- ■ I mured. over and over. “Jesus loves •'you. Willie; Jesus loves you." My 1 • I own theology has not got beyond ! that statement. ■I “Our God is an eternal Christ, I Unchangeable, unchanged. j His love is still as warm and true ij As when life's common way He ranged I: "Our God is an eternal Christ, [And Christ is very love, I The Love that, ere the world was made, [lie with His justice interwove | As He the way surveyed. “Our God is an eternal Christ, All tender, wise and true; As once He was to those of old. So is He now to tne and you. ————————

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1935.

Till all the tale is told. “As Christ was then, so God Is now, ' A wise and loving friend. • No feeble cry will He deny. But of His best will surely send, j And that right instantly." On a lower plane, and in lesser i degree, it is true of every real disj clple that whoever knows him .knows something about God. The [family likeness cannot be repressed, and Is forever unconsciously expressed. God's childre n show forth the Father's character. The Family Likeness There is an arresting strain of criticism of present day parents running through contemporary literature. It points out that the break down In morals, and the growth of modern paganism, are not due, primarlly, to the much-criticised younger generation, but to the homes from which they come. The high seriousness of parenthood has diminished. Reverence for the eternal integrities has declined. Religion has slipped out of a myriad home. And. broadly speaking, children follow the examples of fathers and mothers. “Like father, like son.” Jesus appealed to this principle when He declared, “He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father." All that it was possible for the Infinite to express of Himself was embodied In His sent Son. If you would understand more of God. consider Christ. So perfectly did Jestls live His life in the Father, and the Father in Him, that to Jesus was to know God. In spite of all the modern vague appeals to the example and teachings of Jesus, it remains solemnly true that we cannot know Him at all without accepting Him as the incarnation of the Father. The Great Bequest Over on the slopes of the Lebanon Mountains the unlettered shepherds, who follow the Latin and the Greek rite, argue endlessly over what is theologically known as “the procession of the Holy Spirit. They are echoing the teaching of their respective priests upon the doctrine which divided the Eastern Church from the Western — — the Spirit proceeds from the Father alone, or from both the Father ami son. Os course, the debate never eventuates in life or conduct. What we do know of a certainty is that Jesus said He would pray the Father to give the disciples another Comforter who. after He Himself had gone, would abide with them forever. Thus we have the mysterious and exalted truth of the perpetual presence of the Holy Spirit — the Advocate, the Strengthcner, the Enlightener who would stand as Christ's other self. So we have, by the Father's provision of boundless love, the Trinity of Father, Son and Spiritall expressions of Gods Fathei ] ove —to do for man all that man may expect of heaven. As Christ in the flesh revealed the Father nature of the Deity, so the Spirit today reveals God in Christ, and empowers the believer to live the Christ-like lite. “He that loveth Me. shall be beloved of My Father.

Improvtd |1 SUNDAY International II SCHOOL ■■■ LESSON By..BEV. P. B. fITZWATtR. D. D.. Member o£ Faculty. Moody Bible Trmltut* of Chlcafo. Western Newapaper Union. Lesson for April 7 THE HEAVENLY FATHER LESSON TEXT—John 14:8-24. GOLDEN TEXT—Like as a father pilielh hla children, (0 the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Heavenly Father. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Heavenly Father. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Why W» Call God Father.* YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Fatherhood of God. The alm in the lessons of this quarter is to place before the pupils of the Sunday school some of the great doctrines of the Christian faith, as set forth In God's Word, with their practical application to the common relations of life. I. Who It the Haavtnly Father (Gen. 1:1). He Is the almighty God who created the tinirerse (Ps. 90:2). He was before all things. God is the Infinite and perfect Spirit in whom we live and move and have our being. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He was not only before all things, but the cause of all things. H. What the Heavenly Father does. I. He created the universe (Gen. 1:1; cf. vv. 26, 27). The universe enrne into being by the will and act of the personal Being called God, Man himself is a creation of God. 2. He has provided salvation for lost men (I John 4:9). He gave his only Son, that whosoever believeth In him might live through him (John 3:16). 3. He preserves us (Ps. 103:1-14). The preserving mercy of God embraces the following grhclous beneficent acts: a. He forgives all our iniquities (v. 3). This he is able to do because of the righteous provision he made for sin in the atonement wrought out by Jesus Christ. b. He heals all our diseases (v. 3). Tills healing refers to the body and the soul. He first renovates mail’s moral nature and then his physical nature. c. He redeems the life from destruction (v. 4). Redemption implies the payment of all demands against the debtor. d. He satisfies the mouth (v. 5). God satisfies all legitimate desires, so that youth is renewed like the eagle's. In redemption man's original capacities are restored to their native vigor. e. He executes righteousness and Judgment (vv. 6-12). The wrongs of life are righted and man Is thus relieved of the burdens which they entail. f. He pities his children (vv. 13, 14). The pity of an earthly father IS but a faint suggestion of the sympathetic compassion of the heavenly Father. 4. He chastens his children (Heb. 12:5-11). a. The fact (vv. 5,6). Every one who is God's spiritual child experiences chastening, as unmistakable evidence of sonship. b. How it Should be received (vv. 6-8). It Is the token of lili love (v. 6). C. The purpose of (vv. 9-11). It Is to bring the child Into subjection to Induce reverence (v. 9). It Is to produce holiness ft. 10). It Is to develop fruits of righteousness (v. 11). 5. He cares for his children (Matt. 6:11. 25). The child of God who Ims come to knoit his heavenly Father as the almighty Creator and Preserver, whose very essential being fs love, will trust the Father for daily bread without anxiety or fear. HI. The Htavtanly Father Revealed in Jesus Christ (John 14: 8,9). The supreme purpose of the Coining of the Son of God was to reveal God (John 1:8). Only a being of God's essential nature could reveal him. Jesus Christ became man In order that he tnight tevenl God to man. Only the one who knows Jesus Christ knows God. IV. How Men Come to Know God as the Father (John 3:3-6). It iti through regeneration. The new birth Is absolutely essential to a knowledge of Ood as the Father. We are children of God by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:26). V. Our Responsibility to the Heavenly Father (Matt. 6:21-34). The true child who has come to know his Father. 1. Will give him uuaivided affection (v. 24). The child of God makes the unequivocal Choice betw-een the heavenly Father and the world. 2. He will not be anxious about food and clothing, as Stated above. 3. He will diligently seek the kingdom of God aud his righteousueSs (vv. 33, 34). He will subordinate temporal things to the things of the spirit. This is not a warning against legitimate forethought but against anxious worry.
