Creamed Comment* on the Sunday School Lesson. God In iils World. Job 38:1-41 for Sunday, July 13. Throughout the whole of this masterful book, we are taught that God Is the sovereign ruler of the universe and that he makes alt things work together for good to them that love him. In the particular section as presented in this lesson. God passes by the challenge of Job for bls answer as to why he has suffered. God shows how Ignorant and helpless Job Is; the conclusion was given by Job later. “Though be slay me, yet will 1 trust him.” Vs. 1, 2. 3 "Then the Lord an Hwered Job out of the whirlwind, and said. Who Is this that darkeneth counsel without knowledge. Gird up now thy ioins; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.” God speaks ont of the whirlwind of confusion induced by the dialogues with Job when attempts were made to prove Job wicked, since he suffered, and Job's continued declaration of his innocence. In these controversies all failed to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. for when this Is settled every thing else Is answered. When all nations accept the sovereignty of God in deed as well as in creed, we shall have world peace. V. 4. ' Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare it thou Inst understand ln<" No lu.ip was present when creation tff«k place And hence man doe* not understate! Its mysteries. This fact teaches God's eternity, his wisdom and power, of which the best that man can say Is “In the beginning was God." V. 6. "Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it." Every thing in creation is orderly, measured, predetermined, governed by law and god's will, all of which is beyond man's comprehension. All man can do Is to recognize the tact. V. 6. Whereupon are the foundations fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof? No man can explain how every thing in the universe is so well stabilized as to Our Preacher >

if you have right motives, year chance for success will be much greater. There is an old fable which says that one day a dog gave clia*e to a rabbit, but tailed to catch It. When mocked by his companion*, tbe dog replied: "Remember. the rabbit was running for his life; I was running only for the fun of catching him.” The energy expended was in proportion to the depth of ambition. Likewise success in life is dependent upon motive. Tr.U. |„ * Taw. —. 11w.1.r

result In perfect harmony of all planets, stars, and the natural processes of all material life V. 7. "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." So great is God's creation that the very stars, if they could speak, would declare the marvels of God. In this they would be joined by tbe very angels of heaven. In the light of this fact, no man can question God as to who he is and what he does what he can do. V. 16. "Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thon walked in the search of the depth?" This verse Implies that God has made the sea and understands all Its mysteries, as Job does not nor any other man. V. 17. "Have the gates of death been opened to thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?" As the mysteries of life are incomprehensible, so the mysteries of death are beyond the mind's grasp. The implication Is that man ought not to doubt God nor demand a detailed explanation, but to move forward with simple faith In God. V. 18. "Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it." At the time of Job, little of the earth was known, for man was limited in his travels. World travelers of today at best see and understand but little of this earth. The common expression of Christian travelers is “How wonderful!" V. 22. "Hast thon entered into the treasures of the snow? or hail?" Passing now to a microhall?" Passing now to amlcroscoplc view of God's creation, there are no two snowflakes alike. When one thinks of the Infinite number of snow flakes, all different, man must recognize the wonders of God In caring for details. V. 23. “Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?” What shall be said of God's beneficient power in rain which no man could create. V. 31. "Const thou hind the sweet influences of Pleiades or loose the bands of Orlon?" Job is powerless to do anything about the stars. God guides the stars in their orhits- a great task. V. 41. "Who provldeth for the raven his food? When bls young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat." God truly provides for all physical needs. All Glory belongs to him for such provisions. Book Review Great Is the Company, by Violet Wood, Is the story of men and women who have labored, sacrificed. and suffered that the Bible might be preserved, and translated to act as a molding force of religion. law, music, art. and literature, and In the making of men and nations The contents can be used in the various church organizations to the* intense interest of] young and old. 0 Clerious Soys: Clericus says: "if man cannot create life, and cannot create matter he cannot even bring down rain from the skies and certainly cannot control the movements of the heavenly bodies, yet if all these things continue from century to century, if man knows he himself Is not the author of this wonderful, created world, how can he avoid coming to the conclusion that the Author and Sustainer of it all Is an Infinitely, good, wise and powerful God to whom all are subjects?”

Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer: Forgive for our trivial thoughts and selfish claims for personal benefits. Help ui to rise above the material plane of life and recognize a great God of love who haa done what Is best for man and continues to care for our highest welfare. Grant that we trust God more fully. 0 What a splendid thing It would be If those who lose their tempers could not find them again. Praise undeserved is scandal in I Church L fofungg] What are some of the responsibilities of a Church which practices Christian stewardship? According to the Virginia Methodiaf tbe following are some of such responsibilities: 1. Responsibility for preserving tbe place, value and dignity of the individual person in tbe increasing pressure of various forms of statlsm now manlfectlng itself throughout the world. 2. Responsibility for atomic energy for the common welfare and not for war. 3. Responsibility for tbe conservation of the personalities of children and youth for Christian citizenship. 4. Responsibility of both management and labor to the community for the economic welfare of the people. 5. Responsibility for good government In a democracy. 6. Responsibility for the conservation of the soil and natural resources for the future well-being of tbe nation. 7. Responsibility for the peace and security of the world by taking our place aa a nation in tbe United Nations organization, particularly as related to the welfare of the dependent peoples of the world. 0 |l> tie By this time. It ought to be clear that we need to settle our problem on a new basis. We have heretofore sent out official representatives to bargain with the official representatives of other nations. Neither could afford to think too much of tbe common good. That is the handicap of Nationalism. Now the time has come when private citizens of one nation must tell private citizens of other nations that we all do want the common good. We must now think of a new citizenship. World citizenship is now a necessity. Ohio and Kentucky get along because we are first of all Americans. America and Russia can also get along if tbe people of all the wold recognUe a greater loyalty. Perhaps God in His mercy will open the way for the expression of that loyalty. It Is the tenet of oar faith that In Christ Is neither Greek nor Jew Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free, but all are one. To that end let os labor and pray. -Frad W. Knkkrehm.
