Creamed Comments On He Sunday School Lesson

Creamed Comments on the Sun-' day School Ixetson, Jesus and Sure. Living, Exodus 20:14; Proverbs! 4:14-13; Matthew 5:8; Phllllplans 4:8 for Sunday, August 25. (Ths Quarterly Temperance Lesson). Why these scripture verses ware sele< ted for the quarterly temperance lesson we du not know unices there Is often a fetation Icetween intemperance and purity of living. V. 14. ' Thou sbalt not commit adultery." That which causes a breakdown of marriage relations is a menace to society; in many cases drinking causes a breakdown of the marriage relations. Vs. 14. 15. "Enter not Into the path of the wicked and walk not In the way of evil men; avoid it. pass r.ot by it, turn from it and pass on." There are two ways of living, two paths— the path of the wicked and the path of the righteous. In which path are many of the drinkers traveling or in what direction does drinking lead? To this question each individual must answer choices aa to drinking are considered. Va. 11, 17. Tor they sleep not, ' except they do evil; and their sleep 1s taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the vine of violence.” These two versvw describe the wicked as con- ' tent only when they have done evil and have caused others to sin also. By wickedness and violence they earn their living. The only phrase used that would make this a temperance lesson is the vine of violence" and hi cases where the drinking of it causes drunken ess and the committing of rash deeds the phrase is well chosen. V. 18. "But the path of the righteous la as a dawning light, that uhineth more and more unto the perfect day " The path of the just is that made by the gospel and lived Vs our lx>rd; the one travelbig Jta this path finds the way becoming increasingly beautiful and attractive. V. 11. "The way of the wicked 0

Rsce Discrimination The government of thki country, or any other country, cannot legislate away the racial or religious prejudice* and opinions of the people, however strong or weak they might be Only an educational program through the school and church will prom ite racial and religious tolerance. Human nature being what it Is, a few laws on the liooks may force the people to comply if the penaltieM are Severe, but never will ft correct the prejudices and opinion* carried within. And such smoldering feeling* are dangerou*. In New York State there I* a permanent c >nim>»ian charged with the duty of wiping out discrimination in employment on the ground* of race, creed, color, religion or national origan and make* autne discriminatory practices followed by employer*, labor union or employment agencies unlawful. Thi* h a ponderous task, but the commission might be successful. It will not be successful if It believes that by forcing people to flits, or work with, other people of dltfernt color or religion it is going to wipe out whatever prejudices might exist in their minds. 1

is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble." Jesus gives light to those traveling in the Christian way. Since Jesus is not found In the wicked way those who travel in it find it dark.

V. 20. "My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear to my wayIngs.” Here is a call to think and to think straight; the one who will see fads and the results of violating the righteous way of living will find themselves disappointed, unhappy, and finally In the wrong company going to an undesirable destiny. V. 21. "Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them tn the midst of thine heart" Great proverba of truth will he found helpful if not committed to memory and repeated often till they are born In the Inner life.

V. 22. "For they ara life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." When divine truths are incorporated in the moral tissues of the soul, they produce life In Its highest and best sense and make for such harmony as to result in mental and spiritual health.

V. 23. "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the Issum of life.’’ What the life ia will be determined by what the heart is. So the heart needs to be guarded against any thing that will make it evil. Here la the place where Christ is needed, since by guarding our Hvm against the introduction of evil thoughts. dMires. impulses, and motivM are we saved. V. 8. "Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God." Christ taught life a* something positive over against the negative seventh commandment. With heart purity there ia a natural flowing out of that life, expressions of purity and holiness which fits one for companionship with God. V. 8. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there lie any virtue in them, if there lie any praise, think on these things" Because it is to our minds that temptation comes, our though: life is of great importance. 0 Clerious Soys: Clericus say*: “He who indulges in filthy imaginations ir preparing for a fall. But whether such an one can restrain himself or not, the inner corruption is abominable to God. He sees what a person desires and would do if unrestrained through fear of onaequences, and he judges him accordingly." 0 Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions Discussion Questions on the Sunday Schcml lesson, Jesua and Pure Living, ithe quarterly temperance lesson) for Sunday, August 25.

There was only one rose on the hush, and Its face was turned toward the light. Thia fact was noticed and spoken of. when one said that the rose would look no other way but toward the light. Experiments had been made with It; It had been turned away from the window; Its face turned toward the shadow of the Interior, but in a little time It would resume its old petition. With wonderful persf-tenee It refused to face the darkne-s and insisted on ever looking toward the light. The flower has a lesson foi us. We should never allow ouMelves to face toward life's glooms; we should never sit down in the shadows of any sorrow and let the light darken over us into the gloom of despair; we should turn our face away toward the light and quicken every energy for braver duty and truer, holler service.— Chrtatian Monitor. — o— South American Census Following the United States pattern, Bolivia, Brazil. Chile, Peru and other South American countries have taken their census in one or more decennial years. But where United States censuses have broadened In scope to include such data as years of schooling, cost of dwelling and rent paid, censuses of South American countries have been too few and too incomplete to gauge population trends.

At the fork of those roads stand the Book Review Two Worlds, by Wiliam B. Ziff, reveals the realities of the past and present, and indicates a pattern for the future.
