■Creamed Ct] | Lesson Creamed Comment* on the SunJ day fkhool Lesson. A .Man Whose I Name Waa Job. Job 11; 27:14; 31:19-28 for Munday. July 6 The neat quarter's lesson will be based on the whdom literature of the Bible The first three lesions will be from the book of Job ■ The |e**on for today is on Job's moral integrity. The purpose of the book ot Job is not so rntt'h an explanation of the problem of the suffering of the righteous a* It Is of faithfulness to God and main- , tainlng moral integrity in all cir ■ umelance* V 1. "There was a man ill the land of Uz whore name was Job: and that man was perfect and upright. and one that feared God and eschewed evil." Here in one verse is Job's biography The strongest word n describing < haracter was the word "perfect." This word doe* not mean absolute perfection because human nature is Imperfect but it means a perfect strlv Ing, perfer t motives, wholehearted i i desire; this inner quality of life 1 when expressed makes a man up right The fear of God attributed 10 Job or to any other man is that profound devotion and loyalty to God that makes a fear in the sense that possibly one has not lived his best in the sight of God. lOf c ourse fearing God does not I tolerate In the slightest form the I smallest evil. V. 1 .Moreover, Job continued' | his parable and said; "Job's last' I speech answering his accusers cov- , ■era the next five chapters. Vs. 2. .1, 4 "As God liveth, who 1 hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; all the while my breath b in me. and the spirit of God is my nostrils; my lips shall not speak wi< kedness, nor my | tongue utter deceit. In the last) statement Job slates his determined purpose. He’ will not deviate from this purpose though God should intervene as indicated in verse 2 for there Is born within ' him the very spirit of God as seen in the third verse V. 5. "God forbid that I should justify you, until I die I will noil remove mine integrity from me."| Oup Preacher “I did not mean to do It" Is often 11 poor explanation of bad conduct Some time in the past you were wilfully selfish; selfish acts were repealed until they became auto mafic; then It was that the will became submerged, and you fell, when a wrong wa- done unconsd;ou*iy. that it was a reasonable extnse to say. "I did not mean it.” But you meant it the first time. There Is no hope for the race unless democracy can l>e sanctified and controlled by Uhristlan, moral, and spiritual ideal*. —o The secret of being loved is thoughtfulness. ♦teMtelilHlllllilllllU

So long as be lives, Job Insist* be will not cease to maintain hl* innocence This thought is repeated in th- next verae—"My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let go; my heart shall not reproa' h me so long as I shall live." Such rnen can not be defeated Vs. It, 20, 21, 22. "If I have seen any parish for want of clothing. or any poor without covering; if his loin* have not blessed me. and If he Were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep, if I have lifted up my hand against the fath erless, when I saw my help In the gate; then let my arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone." If Job's Integrity in caring for all kinds of destitute Is not sustained then he I* willing to suffer the severest punishment In the dismemberment of hl* body Being wealthy by hi* riche* he could have been an oppressor Job challenges hl* accuser* to make a case against him i A good man has a good record. V. 23. "For destruction from God was a terror to me. and by reason of his highness I could not endure" Though Jobs integrity was an outflow of God s spirit within I yet had this not been true, he would have stood In awe of the majestic God, and the fear of punI Ishment would have restrained [ him. V. 21 "If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold. Thou art my confidence:" Though 1 very wealthy. Job did not trust in his riches V. 25. “If I rejoiced because my wealth was great and because; mine hand had gotten much:" Job feels that even to rejoice in material possessions would be ■ wrong. In this he reveals a keen J moral discernment. Each one must i decide which power will reign I within, the power of gold or the ' power of God Vs. 26, 27. "If I beheld the sun when it shined or the moon walking in brightness; and my heart hath been secretly entLed, or my nouth hath kissed my hand:" worshipping the sun was a common practice as was also worshipping ' the moon To have made the slightest gesture in such worship, such as throwing a kiss to the sun, he would have considered himself guilty. Absolute moral integrity gives to place for the least disloyalty to God to Job meant a I loyally ot God to Job meant a 1 denial that the true God is the | only God. Solway What Makes You Go? We know what makes a watch run. an automobile go along the ground, and airplane fly thru the ky; but, what make* you go? Air? Food? Water? We mlg.it use all of them and yet go nowhere or arrive at no destination. We are motivated by our feeling*. If we a e hungry, we go in search of food; If we are cold, we seek that which will make us < omfortalde. We go to church either because we feel the need of something the Church has to offer, such a* fellowship with God thru Christ, or because we feel like trying to help someone elee This we should dia-l-over. if we haven't already, that the more we go to places In life that a:e good for us and good for others, the more we feel like going to them. o even >*♦* eve eve 11111 11 111

The special Projects Division of the Chemical Warfare Rervlce has announced the preparation of a crystalline toxin so powerful that; one ounce of It would kill all the people in the United States and I Canada This poison is produced Iby the bacterium called “Clostridium l*otuliiium" and causes a fatal paralysis us the nervous system. It can be inexpensively produced by i any nation which has no more resource* than a good brewery. Food and water eprayed with this poison would kill people like flies, and the only preventive would be the Impossible one of not eating or drinking. Can you picture a city whose Inhabitants die quickly and silently leaving all the buildings, docks, railroads and machinery, infact: “What an advantage that would be to the Invaders! The possibility of living bacteriabeing ueed to make war on human beings should also be considered. The dread contagious diseases like typhus, parrot fever, cholera, black plague, anthrax, end rabbit fever are all epidemic and all fatal. Sweeping epidemics started simultaneously in all part* of a country would eliminate key men. fill the hospitals and homes with the dead and dying and make that country an easy prey for the enemy. The opinion that the next war will be fought primarily with a test tube Is shared by many people Certainly the potentialities ot biological watfare are apparent and must be guarded against. g Accidents in 1946 cost thia conn- ' try 100,000 dead. 10,400,000 injured, and 94,600,000,000, the National Safety Council has reported. This toll was 4% greater thaa that of 1945, which claimed 95.918 lives. A record price of about 188,000 was paid at auction In London, England, for volume one of the famous Guttenberg Bible.
