I Creamed er! ICommentSzKl R on s.s.*®k| | (’reamed Comment* on the Sunday School Lesson, Judah’s Last Daye. Jeremiah 36:2.3: 28-81; 11 Kings 28:1-4 for Sunday, June 15. Jeremiah saw that Judah was headed for defeat and destruction because the character of the people had given away and that their character had thus dliinttgrated because they had lost their religious faith. He insisted that external forms are an offense in God’s sight unless they represent obedient hearts and minds to the will of : God. V 2 “Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day." Next to the spoken truths of God come the written truths of God We may not all be preachers but we may all do much by proper u*e of the printed truth; this covers using the Bible, printed tracts, periodicals and personal letters. We his children are called to express God’s vital truths. V 3. “It may be that the bouse of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.” God’s purpose for man is to so cooperate with him a H to bring men to repentance; for only when a slner repents can God forgive. Defeat and destruction await people who will not return from their evil ways and give God a chance to pardon. V2B “Take thee again another oil. and write In it all the former words that were in the first roll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned." The king could burn the roll but he could nut burn God’* truth. God s word is burned today by cutting out what is not acceptable. by Ignoring such truths ’as bring rton one and by neglecting to read It. V. 29. "And thou shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burned this roll, saying. Why hast thou written therein, saying. The king of Babylon shall certainly <ome and

O Lesson Prayer Lesson piayer: We pray for such an awakening by communities and by nations that the sinfulness of sin may be *o keenly felt as to cause a turning to God. We are grateful for the merejea pt God in

destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from theses man and lteast." The root of Jeholklm’s sin Is In the question "why?" It was the motive of ths king shat brought condemnation. It I* a good thing often to ask ourselves the question, "why"? A wrong motive In individuals and in nations will be expressed In evil ways sooner or later. Life consists of a serißg of progressive steps going In right or wrong directions dependent upon the motive life, ’ V3O. "Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jehoikitn king of Judah; he shall have none sit upon the throne of David; and hlj dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat,, and In the night to the frost." There was to be no decent burial for Jehoiakim because of his unrepented sin. A decent funeral will not make an indecent man better nor furnish a passport into the next world. V.BL "And 1 will punish him and his seed and hig servant* for tbeir iniquity; and I will bring upon them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not." There I* one thing God makes clear that when he calls for obedience and ihe call Is disregarded, judgement Is eure to follow. The one positive assurance that one owes to himself above every thing else Is "Am I sure that I am a Christian?" V.l. "In his days .Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up. and Jehoiakim became his eervant three l years; then he turned and rebel-1 led against him.” Going wrong end, in one being a servant of sin. and in time, a rebel in the sight of God V. 2 "And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it. according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servants the prophets." Note that God’s punishment ate Just because they will be "according to the word of the Lord." V. 3. "Surely al the commandment of the Lord came thia upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, tor the sins of Mannasseh, according to all that be did." It was Mannasaeb the wicked king that started the toboggan of Israel’s sin. By the wickedness of national leaders the innocent are made to suffer as seen in the next verse and a* portrayed in Germany.

Pastor Niemoeller gave a startling answer when be was asked la a press conference in Chicago whether Communism Is likely to spread farther in Europe. He said that Russia would find no welcome, but that mass deportations and the destruction of millions of homes by bombing has almost destroyed the possibility of private living. "I hsve not slept ill my own bed or lived with my own furniture for ten years." be said. "Like millions of others, I live in my own country a* a stranger. For me the sense of property i B gone. The political consequences of this general state of homelessness are not yet apparent, but they may mean much to the future. Political Communism means little to the homeless, but the fact that life forten B of years to come w|ll never become normal means much " Tens of thousands of able-bodied males have been separated from their despairing families and shipped to Russia as "gifts” of the Polish and Czech authorities. The effect of this international crime on the people involved is incalculable tragic. Clerious Soys: . t'l.ri.u. .ay,, 'Sailonal .rnbl.nw
