> Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

t'remned Comments on the Sun- . day School Lesson, A Letter on Christian Living. Acts 19: 1-20; Ephesians 6:13-18 fur duuday, Dec•■ember 1. tin Paul's third mlseionary Journey. for more than two years, he made Epbeaun bis special place for p eaching mid writing letters to ( churches. The truth he preached was so effective that It interfered with business which was not in harmony with the gospel of Christ. V. 23. And the same time there 1 arose no small stir about that way." The phrase for Christianity waM "The Way." There is no small ■»tir, when religion inte-fers with buninens, especially If * that business Is of a doubtful character. V. 24. "For a certain man name Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines lor Diana, brought n<> small gain unto craftamen." In Demetrius is seen the profit motive, which Is adverse to the Christian motive generated by the xospel of Christ. When these two motives conflict, trouble may lie expected V 25. "Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation. and said, Sirs, ye know that liy thi«. craft we have our wealth " DemetrltM was a rabble-rouser and . proceeded to create public sentiment which m a strong factor in ' society and government. V. 28. "Moreover ye see and hear. ' that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul ( bath persuaded and turned a- ( way much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands" I'nconan-iously Demetrius paid Paul a great compliment when he referred to "much people" hav- ' ing been pe -gi.ided. Forbidding the worship of idols Interred with Demetrius business. Look out for modern idols. V. 27. "Ho that not only this craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great*-goddeM Diana should Ire de spised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshipeth." Demetrin* posex as a man of piety and is self-deceived. He indulges In extra vagant language when he claim* all the world worships Diana. V. 28. "And when he heard these •layings, they were full of wrath, Discussion Questions Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions on the Sunday School Lesson. A Letter on Christian Living, for Sunday, December 1. 1. Why did Paul seek to preach in cities rather than in small towns? 2. In what respects do cities control the affalns of men? 3. How far can a Christian consider profit in business? 4. What abuses exist In our country because ot ptivute interests involved? 5. What kind of war Is to lie expected In which a Christian must engage? Clerlcus says: "The Christian message is opposed, not to business in itself, but to the disregard of human values and rights just for the sake of profits. Christianity puts tbe cross above the caah register. Some men bow before an altar on which stands a cross, symbolizing the love of God in Christ, demanding love in human relations; others bow before the cash register, putting the dollar first, no matter wbat effect the worship of the dollar may have on the apirItual life."

I ■■ I !. -11 l —l— » ■ II IB sill and cried out saying. Great Is Diana of the Ephesians." So great was mob excitement that they demonstrated for two hours. But noise does not always work tor the town clerk called for order and got it. V. 29. "And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord Into the theatre." The climax of mob violence moves toward lynching These men were not of "The Way" and lacked the real purpose and the right motive for righteous Bring. V. 13. "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day. and having done all. to stand.” Paul recognitea the great spiritual forces ot evil and would have Christians fortified perfectly with a whole armour made available by God. which, used, will prove snfflcent. V. 14, "Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness." In order to wage the Christian warfare successfully we need to be well Indoctrinated in the truths of the gospel. The breastplate of righteousness means a consciousness of our Integrity. The fact that paM sins are all forgiven. will repel many a satanic thrust. V. 15. "And your feet shod with the preparation of peace.” The Christian will be prepared when he Is inspired with the message of peace with God which the gospel brings, and when he is conscious of that peace In his soul. V 16. "Above all. taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the ttery darts of tbe wicked one." As faith Is the grace by which all others are preserved and rendered active, so ft Is properly represented as a shield hy which the entire body is covered. V. 17." And take the helmet of sal vat lon and tbe sword of the spirit, which is the word of God." The helmet of salvation Is the glorious truth that we are saved. Around this armour Is prayer that makes God's presence a reality. o - SSL-2 -*i ' Church i Forunw&l What is the Church's job in effecting imace? The churchevi have a threefold job to do: til to point to the Ideal of a warless world ami to educate their constituency in the contrast the way in which he act.! under the us a* over against that ideal; 42) to give new and sure directions in a bewildered. <onfused age, to bring courage and hope to a saddened. heartsick generation; and (31 to make theae aspirations articulate. Then may men's minds be focused on the kind of world order which religion envisions as the goal. o Whatsoever thy hand findath to do, do it with all thy might. Love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave.-Solomon. Whatsoever thou taketh In hand, remember the end, and thou shall never do amis*. The race Is not to the awlft. nor the battle to the strong.
