Creamed Comments on the Bunday School Lesson, Judah's Mst Days, Jeremiah 36; 2:31; 11 Kings 24 1-4 for Sunday. June 22. The! astd ays of Judah were characterized by profligate kings and a people quite willing to ignore God despite forceful messages from the prophets. Jeremiah being a leading prophet. He saw the coming calamity and had bis prophecies written and read to the people and to the king who was so incensed that he cut the scrolls Into pieces. V. 2. "Take thee a toll of the 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 nnto thee from the days of Josiah, even unto this day." The word of (Jod is the preserved voice of God; both the voice of God in the speech of man and the written Word carry the thought of God, which is the Important thing God Is against sin and therefore he is against those guilty of sin. V. 3 "’ll may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I puipose to do unto them; that they may return every man from bis evil way; that I may forgive .'heir iniquity and their sin.'* God Is gracious to the wicked in that lie makes clear their doom; be is also gracious in holding out a chance for repentance and a return to him to the very List God is not to be condemned for the final judgement because man** destiny is the result of a series of de cislons. V. 28. 'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath destroyed." The Word of God is cut to pieces today by the misinterpretation of it, by adverse criticism, by the deuiel of its truths, by scoffing its characters and by utterly diregarding it. Hut the Book lives on because its truths can not be destroyed. V 29. "And thou shalt 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 come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast ” Things can't go from had to worse forever The judgements Our Preacher

of God on those who will not hear his message and obey him wiH bs hard, and there will be no escape from them. What can be said about the United Nations organization not heeding God when there Is no place on the program for prayer here is a call for the church, for every Chiistian to call for the church for every Christian to call on God like the prophets of old and to portray the ultimate destruction of civilization If God is not recognized and his commandment* obeyed. The atomic bomb may be the means of destroying vast numbers now living. Vs. 30, 31. "Therefore thus saith the Lord of Jeholaklm king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out In the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost. And 1 will punish him and hl« seed and his servants for this Iniquity, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they harkened not." So important is the thought expressed in the proceeding verses that it is repeated. There is no escaping his judgment This doom wa* pronounced because of •he four words. "But they harkened not ” V.l. "In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up and Jeholaklm became his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him. The warring nations of Assyria, Babylon, and Egypt involved Judah, since each nation, when becoming dominant, sought to make vassal states of weaker nations. Babylon now tn the ascendency proceeded to take over Judah: Jehoiakim was permitted to continue In office as a puppet ruler: he stood it for three years and then (hanged his alliance. But he had failed to make an alliance with God and so ail ended in failure. 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 Amnion, and sent them against Judah to destroy It, according to the word of the Lord which he spake by his servants the prophets." Note here the fact of former pronounced judgments V 3. "Surely at the commandment of the Lord this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasiteb. according to all that he did.” Manesnah an outstanding violator of God's commandments caused bis people to sin; the power of sin was so deeply wrought in the people that it required the purging process of the captivity. sion in having failed to do our best in making the world Christian bow us down; we repent and beg for pardon and mercy. Give us the courage to match the light of thy gospel so that we may think, speak, write and act a* a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Q Book Review The Church and Christian Education. by Paul H.

We would, l>e very careful to say the right kind of words, wouldn't we? Certain it Is we would not talk so much nonsense. use so much slang, or say such mean things about others. In the Bible there is a verse which says, “By thy word* thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” We are told this means that our words are eternal and that some day everything we have spoken in this world will come back to commend or condemn us. When Jesup was on earth his words were Inscribed on the hearts and lives of the men who lived and worked with Him, who believed in Him, and followed Him — Hie disciples. They In turn told his words to others who wrote them In books, and also on their heart*. We hear the voice of Jesus. today, speaking to us thru the lives of those who have His words in their hearts.

No one will deny that war is due to suspicion and fear, greed and hate and that It resorts to whole sale murder and destruction In the pursuit of national policies. Unless we pay tbs price for peace, we shall inevitably pay the costs of war. The problem of war and peace is one that belongs peculiar to the
