The opening of a new year always brings with it a sense of solemn responsibility for one’s life and service. and at the same time a thrilling expectancy. No better way can be found to begin this year of our Lord. 1937, than in the study of God's Word, not only by ourselves, but in the fellowship of others in the church and Sunday school. The series of lessons outlined for the year gives us the eagerly apprehended opportunity of studying during the first three months the Gospel of John. Space does not permit of a suitable introduction to that study here, but we trust that no one will fail to read John 20:31, which states the purpose of the apostle in writing. Three great and fundamental questions are answered in chapter 1:1-18, namely, (1) Was Jesus Christ God or man? (2) Does it matter how we regard him and relate our lives to him? (3) Is there suitable ’idence upon which we may rest our faith in him? I. Jesus Christ Is God (John 1: 1-5). ‘Tn the beginning” of Genesis 1:1, Jesus Christ already “was” not only “with God,” but he “was God.” He is the living “Word," the complete and final revelation of God. He is infinite, eternal, divine, both the Creator and Redeemer. He is both the Life and the Light of men. That Light shines in the darkness but the darkness does not comprehend it 11. Men Are Either Believers or Unbelievers (w. 6-13). There are only two classes of people who will read these lines—the saved and the unsaved. What a solemn thought! To which class do I Belong? The Lord of Glory, the Creator of all things, came to his own world and it “knew him not" (v. 10). How tragic is that fact, but how much deeper is the stab of the next verse, his own people "received him not.” The Light still shines in the world, and it is still all too true that men love “darkfiess rather than light because their deeds are evil” (John 3:19). Such men are lost, “dead in trespasses and sin” (Eph. 2:1). But, thank God, there are those who “receive him” (v. 12), and to diem he gives the power or authority, to be the sons of God. This change is expressly declared to be a. Not by reason of family, or heredity, “not of blood”; b. Not by natural instinct or development, not “of the will of the flesh”; and c. Not by human volition or will power, not “of the will of man, but of God.” These are important matters and some one may well ask, “What evidence is there for these things?” Faith is not a venture into the dark. We have the strongest of all foundations in the sure Word of God. The evidences of Christianity are many, thoroughly full, and satisfying to any honest inquirer. We refer to but one. 111. Our Faith Rests on the Testimony of Eye Witnesses (vv. 14-18). John the Baptist and John the Apostle both beheld the “glory as of the only begotten of the Father” in the One who ac the “Word was made flesh and dwelt among” them. The law was “given by Moses” (v. 17), that is, God sent the law through a human messenger. “But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” No messenger, no matter how great or worthy, would do to bring the gospel of the grace of God. His only begotten Son brought it; it came by him. Looking Upward It is a good thing to believe, it is a good thing to admire. By continually looking upwards, our minds will themselves grow upwards; as a man, by indulging in habits of scorn and contempt for others, is sure to descend to the level of those he despbes. It is better in some respects to be admired by those with whom you live, than to be loved by them. And this is not on account of any gratification of vanity, but because admiration is so much more tolerant than love.—Sir Arthur Helps. Worship and Prayers It 1# for the salie of man, not of God, that worship and prayers are required; that man may be made better — that he may be confirmed in a proper sense of his dependent state, and acquire those pious and virtuous dispositions in which his highest improvement con»i»t». w

Night - Prowling Aristocrat Awed By Great Commoner Timid Official’s Interview With Carpenter---Teacher — Getting Down To Bed Rock In Religion—The Greatest Single Sentence In All Human Speech.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS At night, the Orient commonly stays indoors. At I have roamed about Jerusalem after nightfall, or climbed the slopes of the Mount of Olives, I have found the streets and roads deserted. Yet one of the most important incidents in all the Bible is staged at night, the interview of Nicodemus, the timid and troubled aristocrat, with Jesus, the carpenter-commoner. > One easily imagines the scene. Hurrying furtively through the dark streets of Jerusalem, an armed servant following behind, was ! this richly-clad member of the Sanhedrin, the highest court of the Jews. As an occasional night-prowl-er was met, he covered his face with his cloak, that his well-known features might not be recognized. Like most men of great wealth and high position, Nicodemus was concerned chiefly with his reputation. He was afraid that to be seen with this radical Rabbi from the North would compromise him. The Open Door Skulking along unlighted back streets, this affrighted figure came to the humble lodgings of Jesus. He found the door unlatched, with no functionary to bar his way or question his errand. It was, and is, easy for anybody to find Jesus, without formality. You and I, my reader, might not have welcomed Nicodemus. Our natural first reaction would be, "The man who is afraid to speak to me in the broad light of day cannot come to tne secretly, under the cloak of night.” But Jesus received him, not because Nicodemus was Nicodemus, but because Jesus was Jesus. “Who goes a step toward God, through doublings dim, God goes a mile, through blazing light, to him.” Perhaps John was sitting in the shadows listening to the conversation that ensued, the most momentous ever heard by man. He did not tell the story, possibly out of consideration for the timid aristocrat, until the latter was dead. He alone mentions Nicodemus’ feeble and quickly silenced plea for Jesus before the Sanhedrin; and his belated gift of rich spices to the dead body of the Saviour whom he had not had the manhood to accept and follow, after the convincing interview of that memorable night. Pity the poor scholar-aristo-crat, who had lacked courage to be true to the highest truth he knew. What a difference it would have made to the harried Master had He been able to count among His friends this ruler of the Jews! A Momentous Interview But to return to the interview »* * ****** •The Sunday School Lesson for January 10 is: “Jesus and Nicodemus.” —John 3: 1-17. ** • ******

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1937.

itself: the polished courtier opened it with polit phrases of flattery, which he himself could not really have believed, else he would not have come dodgin up dark alleys like a criminal. Bluntly, the Commoner disregarded the fine speech, and with disconcerting directness, plunged straight into the heart of the subect. with the truth of the new birth. Belonging to the Sanhedrin did not make Nicodemus a child of God; nor did his proud Jewish lineage; nor his eminence as an ecclesiastical lawyer. He would have to be “born anew” —given a fresh beginning in his soul, by the power of the Spirit. At once the ecclesiastical lawyer the devotees of dialectics, started to quibble. Almost as soon as their interview began, the role of teacher was taken by Jesus, and that of pupil (a rather dull one) accepted by the distinguished theologian. Throughout the centuries Jesus has been acclaimed as the world's supreme Teacher. He uttered basic truth: "Except one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Religion is spiritual, or it is nothing. A new nature, a new Ife-pur-pose, a new allegiance—these alone provide membership in that kingdom which is the only hope of a tottering world. Everybody possessing even an embryonic brain knows that spiritual things are first. Most of the material concerne of life are merely so much baggage. What he experiences in his own soul is the real concern of njan. The Mystery Os The Wind When hi s bewildered visitor blurted out, “How can these things be?” Jesus cited the familiar phenomenon of the wind, perhaps blowing outside the house at the moment. It is wholesome for all Nico-demus-minded persons to step aside from their intellectual pride for a moment to consider the familiar things that we do not understand. What is the vital spark of life itself? The surgeons, with all of their probing, cannot even loacte the seat of life. What is the thought, and how do its processes work, and with what sections of the brain or body? We do.not know. What is electricity, the commonest tool of modern civilization? Science is silent. Passing strange, isn’t it? that human beings, whose daily walk of life is down a grinning row of sphinxes, yet insist upon knowing all about God, before they will accept Him. This mystery of religion which is life from God and with God, a veritable new birth, is the great reality. And it alone bridges the passage into hereafter. For those who love to ponder profundities there is a strange passage in this interview, wherein Jes-

us alludes to what has gone before as "earthly things,” with heavenly things” rot yet disclosed. We cannot even imagine the vastness of the mysteries of the spiritual life which await revelation In that, realm where we are to “know fully.” Also we see in this little Jerusalem room the uplifted foreshadowing of the cross. Not to a great, audience, but to one man a timid soul who put hie social position anove truth itself. Jesus revealed the sublimities of real religion and of the new birth. Nicodemus heard hot from the lips of the Son of God the greatest sentence ever formulated into human spfCTli: “For God so loved the world that. He gave His only-be-gotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, should not perish, but have eternal life.” After that, the soul tormented aristocrat, who lacked courage to follow the highest truth he had learned, went out into the night—but the night about him was not half so black as the torment which raged In his own soul. God pity all who know the better and yet follow the worse. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS There never was a right endeavor but it succeeded. —Emerson. * * * Courage is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.—James L. Allen. ♦ » ♦ If evils come not, then our fears are vain; And if they do, fear but augments the pain.—More. • * * To contract ties of friendship with any one Is to contract friendship with his virtue. —Confucious. • * « It is more blessed to give than to receive.—Acts 20:35. * • • God made the flowers to beautify the earth And cheer man’s careful mood; And he is happiest who hath power To gather wisdom from a flower, Ana wake his heart in every hour To pleasant gratitude. —Wordsworth. It is better to make a thousand mistakes, and to suffer a thousand reverses, than to run away from the battle. —Henry Van Dyke.
