Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

Creamed t'oiniiieiii* mi the Sunday School Leeson, lh< lalve Mo-. merits In Peter'* Life. John 1 It. Mark 847-38: Luke 22:51-82: John i 21 15 17: Acts 5:29 for Sunday. April 28th In Peter I* seen the unfolding of, a strong Christian character hy a aerie* of <!••« -islotis liy which hl* I life i* transformed and made u; power second to none of the di*-. elides. V 12 "And he brought him to Jc-u- Ami whin .It.ii- beheld him. he said. "Thou art Simon, the *on I : of .lona, ihoii shall lie called Cep ha*, which is being interpreted a' I stone." Note Je*u*' plan of w inning soul*. namely, through person al work Peter iiad great latent ability which Jesus must havei I seen and which If developed i would make him one of the world * ’ great religion* leader*. V. 27. “And Jeans went out, and I hl« disciples, into the town* of. Caesarea Philippi: and hy the way he asked hi* disciples, saying unto their. Who do men say that ! 1 am?" Jesus then as now wn*' hungry for confession* of him i What Is thought of Christ matter* much. Thinking right is fiiiidainen-1 tai to living right The < htirch | dare not neglect Christian educa-j lion V. 28. "And they answered John the Baptist: but some *ayl Elias: and others one of the prop hets." When put to the test Christ ' Is either explained away or he i* i I aci opted V. 2# "And he saith unto them. But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answeretb and saith unto: I him. Thou art the Christ?" So i Important is the confession ofi ! Christ that It become' a personal inaiter. Peter (he spokesman ofi I th<- disciples is the spokesman of] ail tliis disciples, for there is no other answer. V. sft-"Then tiiey took him. and I led him away, and brought him j i into tin- high priests house And | i Peter followed afar off." Peter’s moral danger was in following : Christ "afar off." The ou standing i ' *in of professed followers is Unlock of sincerity, wholehearted- , tie-*. earnestness, courage, and • consecration V. 55. "And when they had ; kindled a fire in the midst of the , hull, and were sat down together, i Peter sat down with them." Otte's > slignment with or against Christ is seen by one's association with I others. V. 57. "And he denied him. saying. Woman. I know him not." i Peter's real denial was his failure I to stand up for hi* land by being . silent; h'- was forced to say what I was in his heart. So significant is the weakening of Peter in this testing that we have a common I phrase, “petered out." based on Peter’s experience. V. til. "And the land turned! and looked upon Peter. And Peter t tememlteied the word of the Lord, how he said upto him, Before the I ' < oek crow, thou shall deny me-1 I thrice." it was just a look of Jesus ' that brought remorse to Peter We will do well when we cenceivej the fact that our denial of Christ I grieve* him and he looks our way I too. with a lender heart of coin- | passion. V 62. "And Peter went out and ' w«pt bitterly." There I* a place for tears of repentance In th<- plan of God Our sorrow, too often, is not deep enough ;o allow the nee e-sary transformation of Chaiacter God plans for every sinner. V, 15 "So when they had dined.'

Jesus saith to Simon Peter. Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him. Yea. laird; thou knowrst that I love thee He saith unto him. Peed my lambs?” Since "God so loved" it is expected that on man's part there is a responsive answer In the same terms for love which Is the language of God. When a situation arises tn which one's love to God is <|tiesttoned then something is vitally wrong with that soul. Here I* the uppeal to hlacksliders. “Feeding the lambs' may refer to the spiritual care and nurture of children V. hi. "He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, Invest thou me? He saith to hltn. Yea, laird, thou knowest that I love thee, lb- saith unto him Feed my sheep. To transform Peter the element of love must be driven deeper and deeper into hi* soul Love must be expressed in service and so encouragement ami strengthening of faith anil comforting In sorrow must Im- in his prog ia in a* well as in our*. The same thought is expressed the third time in the following verse, V. 2!*. "Then Peter and the other apostles answered. We ought to obey God rathe: than man.” Now Peter Is showing himself worthy of the name. Peter, a rock.

Plans are being made by the American Society for Russian Relief to re-equlp the Fir-t Central M<«liial Institute of Moscow by the raising of two million dollars in this country. Al a meeting in Ht Nicholas Reformed Church. New York City the committee adopted resolution* which included the following statement: “Whereas the committee believe* that there Is no work more Important at this time than the strengthening and maintaining of peaceful and friendly relations among nations, it is felt that the expression of friendship toward the Soviet t’nimi . . . is a strong means of affi tiling our desire for peace and unity." "One of tlie most incredible product* of Christian influence in America is what I* happening in Jaj.an now." Dr Luman J. Shafer, executive secretary ot the Board of Foreign .Missions of the Reformed Church in America, told the Home Mission* Council of North America at Buck Hill Falls, Pa., at its recent annual meeting. Dr. Shafer wa* a member of a threeman Protestant commission which recently visited Japan. "The American soldier*." he continued, "at ■ capturing Japan, not with guns, lint with demonstratios of decent living and friendship for the Japanese These soldiers re< eived their training for this job. not from the military, but in the home, the church, and the school.

It 1* the only specific Bible teaching on giving. The tithe is our financial debt to God. growing out of hi* absolute ownership of all that we have. Tithing is a practical re<-ognitioii of man's stewardship. God is a business partner to a Tither and a* a result a tlther is conscientious with hl* money. Tiililng usually gives a death blow to luxurious waste. Tithing instead of being a costly practice, i* rather equivalent to saving, since it cultivates thrift. Tithing deepens the spiritual life as an outpouring of money preceedes a spiritual outpouring. Objections are trivial- a little work, a little care, a little prayer, and they are all gone. Tithing is only doing light, and righteousness is it* own leward. To do right in all money matters is a real "add test." 0 Home Education Improving the Race Society must « ti< mirage parenthood by those best fitted to cope with its responsibilities, according to a report adopted by the executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches here. Submitted by the- Council's Commission on Marriage and the Home, the- report stresses that "the future quality of the population and the carrying on of every good cause makes it necessary tiiat people of gcM>d health, mental and physical. and good principles, should have their full quota of children. Unless these conditions arc met. the report warn*, the "irresponsible- who propagate recklessly and give little- thought to the nurture of »he|r offspiing will be represented in disproportionate number*.'' Recognizing the handicaps Imposed by urban life and social Insm Ulity. on the raking of children, the report states that "the bringing into being and the giving of Christian nature to an adequate number of children Is more rewarding tha-i financial succees social and intellectual standing or |>oliti<al power.

The missionaries would have been scattered over the earth and Christ's message heard in every iiiMik and corner. Many of our boys In the armed services were surjirised and delighted when forced to land on some distant south sea Island to find Christian*, and friendly hospitality.

A few earnest Christian* had contributed to some church missionary fund* several years previous to their landing, and some real Christian missionaries had risked their lives, and by prayers, privations, and poverty won someheathen savages to our Lord Jesus Christ.
