Creamed Comments On Hie Sunday School Lesson

Creamed Comment* on the Sunday School Leeson, Jesus and Cov-i-touonaas. Exodus 2<*: 17; Proverb II .33.24: Luke 12:12-21 Sunday. S.-pt ember 16. Thia tenth commandment pas.es IH-yund human legislation a:id teaches that *»' “re h* r " in the prtuMßcr us a divine law and of a lawgiver who can discern the secrets of the heart. Covetousness is at the root of our crime problem. It b insidious auil works iu r»*t till the heart is so full Hutt il must lie expressed V 17. "Thou shalt nut covet thy neighiHir's house, thou aiiali not covet thy neighlavr's wife, nor bls manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his aes. nor anythin:.- that Is thy neighbor's." God I* nut content wltb simply our restraining ourselves from evil acts but iiwists that our feelings lie pure. So i hie commandment may lie broken without the knowledge of any human being. Likely sooner or luter this also will reveal itself In some overt act V 28. "The desire of the righteous is only goid; but the expectation of the wicked is pride.” Thai which the righteous desire is good, and therefore hie desire when acHimplielied brings gtaa! or prosperity to himself; whereas the wicked man. desires evil, has nothing to look tor but the just reward of evil, the displeasure of Almighty Gud. V. 24. "There i. that mattereth. and yet increaseth; and there ir that withhiilileth more than meat. Imi It tendeth to poverty.” There is an old saying. "What we spent we lust: what we gave we have." Experience proves that no one ultimately loses who gives the

The Evangelical ('hutch of Germany, meeting iawt fall at Stuttgart, adopted a declaration which ackiiowiedaed I lie ('.hurej'* share in Germany war guilt, and that declaration was hailed In the United States as a confeanioa on the part ol the Germans. Now come* news that the secretary of the Evangeli<al Church has been surveying German opinion on this dedaraGoii. Hutt he finds eighty percent ot the German* as a whole opposed to it. that fifty-percent of the German Church is opposed to it. and that a scant twenty percent are entirely in agreement with it. The se< retary gives us some Interesting sideligtits on bis survey. He say* that mother* who lost all their sous and their homes spoke most of repentance; that those "German Christian" who went along with Hitler atlatked the delarutlou most violently, refusing to admit any guilt Whatsoever. The point here is not so much that those who suffered most repent most of tepentence; that those “German Christian" who went along with Hitler attacked the declaration mst violently, iefusing to admit any guilt whatsoever. The point here is not much that those who suffered most repent most, but that there is little if any sense of guilt ip the GermaU Church or anywhere aise in Germany. Just what does that mean for tomorrow?

. tithes of his Income io God. To . withhold what is Jusllv due tends to poverty la-cause it atiuts the energies. Vs 13 14 And one of the company said unto him. Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him. Mau. who made me a judge or a divider over you." The i-lalm of a most ju*t division of the inheritance may have been primer hut Christ emphatically refused to interfere in secular matters. V IS. "And be said unto Guun. Take heed, and beware of covetousness; for a man's life conslateth not bi Hu- abundance of the things which he pqpuesset*.** By (ovetousuesa Christ meant an inordinate desire for possessions In general The poww-ssioii of an abundance of things Is no guarantee that a life will lie happy or useful That which makes life truly worth living Iles tn the realm of the spiritual. V .16 "And he spake a parable unto them, saying. The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.'' The wealth of this man was legltmately acquired A farmer can not l»e criticized for having g<HHi crops. VI7. “And he thought within himself, saying, what shall I do. la-cause I have :i« room where to bestow my fruits." Cumulative Wealth breeds anxiety rather than satisfaction; the trouble of knowing how to keep it is as great as the labor In acquiring it. and enjoyment of it still in the future It takes so much though* in caring for wealth that there is little thought lefr for God and the learning of tab will; then. too. the Chris. Gan motive is supplanted l>y iner.enary one VIS "And he said. This will 1 do; I will pul down my barna. and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.” The rich are full of designs regarding this life, but in general give little thought ala»ut God and eternity. A man of wealth may fail to acknowledge bis Chibtian stewardship, thus miss being a partner with God. the Ideal relationship for :-ny man. V. 19. 'And I will say to iny soul. Soul, thou hast much goods laid up tor many years; take thine ease, drink and be merry." Great possessions are too often accompanied with pride, idleness. and luxery. the greatest enemies of salvation The soul of man is only at ease" when in proper relationship with God. seif, and tellowman Vs 30. 21. But God said unto him. Thou fool, thia night thy sou! shall lie required of thee; then whose ehall those thing* be. which ihou lia«t provided Su Is that layeth up treasure tor himself, and is not rich toward God.” "There are no pockets In a shroud.' To be rich in things is to l»e poor in spiritual treasures. 0 Lesson Prayer that thou wilt reveal to ourselves every moment any wrong desire that we may have and belt* us to eliminate it by being good Christian stewards, cmlaborers with Christ. making our means serve God in Christian service. Succum along any line is not so much a mailer of talent, or opportunity, as it is of determined perseverance. _______
