W* need to ba reminded. as was Israel in our lesson. that Cfod has called us to be a holy people. Mm holmes* is not just x>metkrng es which one sings m a hymn er talks in a sermon, It means among other things, real social justice. God has always stood for social righteousr.***. The underlying moral law of the universe demands it, and the law of God as revealed to Mm people developed and implemented it for successful functioning. were we only wise enough to see and follow it It io time that ail God s people emphasize God's moral principles in Uie life of society. Never forgetting that its first business is to preach the redeeming gospel of Christ the churrte ought also to make its inffi.tUce felt for social righteousness. Our lesson speaks first of the feuMational matter in all eoeial jusdoq, namely: I. HelineM of Heart Before God (Lott 19:1-4). Because God is holy, His people were to be hely. It was not a matter of choice or impulee. they belonged to a holy God. they were to be a holy people. There is an idea current in the churth today which has served baton. jseU, namely, that holiness of life to omething which is not required; that it is expected only of a few folk who are spiritually minded. '•nd that the other professed followers of Christ may go on living a worldly, careless, powerless life. It to the devil’s own lie. God expects every Christian to be holy. Such rightness with God shows itself In a rightness with others, which we note as our second point; H. Holiness of Life Before Men (Lev. 19: 11-11, 32-341. Npw intensely practical and workable In daily experience were the law* acre given to Israel They are just/x apropos to our present day. I. Honesty (w 11-13). No stealing,'be perjury, no lying, no oppression,' no withholding es wages, none es these could be tolerated, for they dishonored God's name. Think what the. -elimination of dishonesty in derltag between men would accomplish.’ Most es our social problems would be solved overnight Merchants would de w. ell to read verses 35 and 36 m this connection.

A rebuke may be necessary, but Jove will not permit grudges, or the seeking of vengeance, even when we have been wronged. 5 Respect (w 3, 33).

Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

The liook of Leviticus deal- with laws covering almost every aspect of the Hebrew life. The verses of of hi® lesson are a summary of the moral «tandards of that day. v J "And Jehovah spake unto Mu- ay.na 'When we think of; G 4 speaking sc think of a voice; God - voice may be heard in pro-j found 'ruths, in rowscienca. in the * prov dene » of God.

tation of the children of Israel and -«r uato thews Ye shall I* holy, for I. Jehorab. yoer (tod am boly." All the people were to know th# will of God; fundam* ntally they were to live boly. the characteristic ®*ri of (tods chlldrea; they were to lie pure, clean, cooaacratad and thus different from all others. V 3. “Ye shall fear every man bis mother, and hto father; and ye shall keep my sabbath-; I am Jehovah thy God." A proper regard for parents is an important element in a successful family life and ia a well-ordered society. Coupled with thia is legaid to the point of reverence for God of which one ex presto n is >al>bath observance. The recognition of the reality of God i» important. V 4 Turn ye not to Idols, nor make to yottrwelviw molten gods: I am the Lord your God " Idol worship. obei-ence to substitutes for God, wan a common siu then as well as now. V 11. "Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another." Here again is reiterated one of God's itnjiortant truths that there may be absolutedly honesty and tiuthfulnena in his children V. 12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of th» Lord; 1 am Jehovah.” They are to maintain a very reverend regard for the sacred name of God. Character can be known by the careful and tender uJPßFWto'nanif- of God. V 13. "Thou -halt u<H oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him." One way In which this is done is to withold wages due another or un derpay a workman V 14. “Thou shall not curse the deaf nor put a istambling block before the blind; but thou -Halt fear thy God; I am Jehovah.” There ie not to lie any advantage taken of the helpless; Hiere are no shark Christians. V. la. "Y« shall do no unrigirteousnsKss in judgment: thou halt not reepeet the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the. mighty but In righteousness ahalt thou judge thy neighbor." The -cales of justice must be held even that there may be no preference given to any one. rich or poor; judgment num be liased on merit or demerit. V. 14 " Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among they people; neither shait thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am Jehovah.” A talebearer is a sneak and often a scoundrel. On the ether hand one needs to be quick to stand up for any iSMSOceet viet tin. V IT "Tbesi shalt not bote thy brsrttosr in thy heart: thou -shall surely rebubs thy nsighbor. and not bear sin hssause of him.” There i« danger of incurring guilt through CHURCH PAGE SPONSORS TNC FI4k«T BTATC BAM HOLTHOUBC WBUG CO.

"Thou nbalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge againxt the children of thy people, but thou ehalt love their neighbor as thy- ! self. 1 am the lx>rd." God can not . itvell In the heart where there ii a grudge: the cure for a grudge is the love of God which comes into a truly converted and consecrated •owl.
