Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

-Creamed Comments on he Sun-1 day School Leeson. Christ hi the! Home. .Mat’hew 19:4-4; Luke 10:-38-42; I<l Timothy 1:3-4 for Sunday. December 10. The home Is th? bast* of ail life. People are largely what their early training In the home made them. The cstaltvillty of our world order de-1 pendn upon the depeening of ’he Christian spirit In home* all over the world. V. 4. "And he answered and said. Have ye not read, that Hwhich made them from the beginning made ■:> m male and female.” God hud in mind In creation the mating , oi man and woman. Marriage is therefore a sat red thing. V. 5. "And said. "For this cause shall a mar, leave hie father and mo her, and shall cleave to his wife; and they twin shall be one flesh." The maocullne qualities contribute certain values to life while the feminine contribute other value*. so that in the uniting of husband and wife there takes place one of God's fulfilments; the power of each is increased by truiy sharing with each other all that hanpens. V. 6. "Therefore they are no more tw.dln, but one flesh. What therefore Gori hath Joined together, let no man put asunder." God intended that the smallest unit should not be one man or one woman but one man and one woman constituting n Christian family. V. 38. “Now It catne to pass, as they went, that he entered into a cer ain vail age: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her home." Jesus was a frequent visitor in this home of Martha; be loved thia home ,*o much that he raised l-axarua te man of the home, from the dead. V. 39. "And he had a sister called Mary, which also eat at Jesus' feet, and heard his woid." The word, "also" indicates, that all the menirers of the borne sought to know the will of God through Christ. Hut Mary seemed to make the most of her opportunity to hear Jmus. V. 49. "Hut Martha was cumbered abou: much nerving, and came unto him. and said. Lord. dost thou not care that my slater hath left me to serve alone? Bld her therefore that she help me." Martha tried hard to serve the physical need ot food for her Lord and thus show her love, but In so doing .*he denied herself the spiritual ford Jesus wanted to gl.e. V. 41. "And JestM answered and said un'o her. Martha, Martha, thou an careful and troubled about many things.” Not that Je.tua used her name twice which indicates tenderness; he did not want to scold her. Scolding ha* no place in a Christian ’home. Christ rather commended Mar'Jia for being careful, but there is here the suggestion that tn being very careful she unduly troubled herself. Trouble in the home Is to be avoided. V. 42. "But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken from her." The one thing that Is needful above al) else is food fob the soul. And Mary In listening to bls spiritial Instruction, had chosen that go<xl part. A Christian home must make a place for Christ which mean* Bible reading, prayer, and above all the Christian rpirit expressed in Christian service, nreymsfi * * 1 ■ *— AN AUATIAN girt Must Lt. Osa.

V. 3. "1 thank God. whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience. that without ceasing 1 have remembrance of thee In my prayem night and day.” Christ had often been in ’he borne ot Timothy who was converted by Paul and who was a very dear associate. The ideal Christian home is such because there has been a lot of praying done by some one. V. 4. "Greatly desiring to see thee. being mindful of thy team that I may be filled with Joy." Here is taught the sa'-rednwx of home Its which is expressed true sympathy which really brings Joy. V. 5. “When I call to rememuranic the unfeigned faith that is in thee which dwelt first In thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother! Eunice; and I am pemuaded in' thee also.” Fundamentally ft is Christian faith that is the basis for a happy home—a faith In God and a faith In each oter that allows no place for distrust, indifference, and disloyality. V. 6. "Wherefore 1 put thee in remerribrance that thou stir up the gift of God. which is in thee by the putting on ot my hands.” Sincerity, enthusiasm and earutwtnms in all good things make* for an effective member of a Christian home. — o — 1 o I in the first three months of 1944 the War Prisoners add of the Y. M. C. A. sent 143 tons of educational, religious and leisure time materials from Geneva to war prison camps. This was almost double that of the s.evlous year. An editorial in The Calvin Forum calls attention to the financial phases of religious broadcasting. Last year radio listeners contributed 82’”',00.000 for the support of religious broadcasts. This is equivalent to sixty per cent of all money contributed tor the support of all Protes'ant church activities. The Mexican governmen* is mak.ng a major effort to conqu t Illiteracy in that country. During the las’ •ulr'y years illiteracy has decreasd from leventy per rent to fifty per cent. Using the essential Ideas of Dr. Frank Laubsoh, the great mission teacher of illiterates, the government plans to change most of Its illiterates to literates within a period of sixteen Every person who can read Is expected to teach someone etoe to read. Nineteen Protestant denominations have been asked by the Hume Missions Council of North America to provide 52,00 u f’hrlsimas gifts for distribution among evacuees in nine relocation centers tor Japan-u»e-Americans. Sponsoring America's largest Christmas party for the third year, rhefiiome Missions Council has assigned quotas to the cooperating denominational groups, with suggestions as to appropriate gifts for family groups, young people and children of varying ages. Four persons are now on the overs<*as staff of the American Christl ian Committee for Refugee ’. On be- | half of the Protestant Churches of the Inlted tit ans this organization Is engaged in two principal aettvith *. Tin first, dune under uuspU'-es of the World Coutvcil of Churches offices in Geneva, to caring for many of the- 70,000 refugees in Switzerland and of those in France The secund is similar relief to refugees In England and in Shanghai. Chins. Crowded into the foreign section of Shanghai are members of nearly every nationality of Europe. The American churches are asked to give 1160.000 thto year tor these two Christ ton relief activities. — —■ ANSWERSIX) * “DO YOU KNOWF •1.

The response to The Crusade for Christ Indicates that we will meet our quota. One church school class has already made a subscription, and no doubt others will follow. Questions have been asked as to what members ought to give in order to meet our allocation. It has been estimated that if every subscribing member would give as much as one-half the pledge he made to the current expenses of the church, we will meet our goal. However it will be necessary for many to give more, for some, subscribing members may not subscribe to this cause at all. and some may not subscribe as much as one half. IThls always is the c-ase. But we want every one to lie present to enjoy the victory of the occasion. We want all the people to keep in mind the candle-lighting ceremony Sunday morning. There are twenty-five altar candles One of these candles will be lighted for each total SIOO.OO subscription made. This will be an inspiring' part of the program.

Strgeant a Tlther The churches in America are receiving eagerly the messages from the boys in the armed service. If is well to put Into practice «ome of their good suggestions. The best plan of financing the church and its work is indicated by the example of Sergeant Russel Holcomb. While stationed In Iceland, he sends monthly his tithe, 37.50. to the McOraft Memorial Church of Muskegon. Michigan. He writes, "When the war te over, the church must stand prepared to win a greater battle than was won on the field. It must prove that there is a design by which men live with each individual a* a part of a large whole. Men who have learned to hate must lie retsught to love.”
