| Comments!*?! I on Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Purity of Heart and Life, Proverb 4:23-27; 5:1-4; 31:10-12; James 1:13-15 for Sunday August 10. Purity of heart and life is God’s standard for every one. The moral laxity call* for straight thinking and plain talk; many proverbs furnish the basis for such consideration. V. 23. "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are -the issues of life. "Social security is needed for the physical life, heart purity is needed for the spiritual life What the life is will be determined by what the heart is. By heart, we mean desire, impulses motives. V. 24. "Put away from thee a forward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee." In view of the context, this adorn it ion is probably primarily against talk which is immorally suggestive. To guard the heart one needs to guard bls words also. V. 25. “Let thine eyes look right on. and let thine eyelids look straight before thee." Let the eyes look where they need to look and not to look at one side in order to see something of an immorally suggestive character. V. 26. "Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established " It is important that all our actions have moral quality and so they need to be weighed carefully and ordered aright. V. 27. “Turn not to the right nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil." Growth of character depends very largely upon the promptness of our decisions and our willingness to pursue certain spiritual objectives with determination. V.l. "My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.” This is a figurative expression to indicate attentive listening. V. 2. "That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.” By giving adequate heed to wise counsel, one may guard hie thoughts and words and act discreetly. Parents, teachOuePROCHIR > Life is the result of agreement. When there is a perfec t agreement between the soil, moisture and sunshine, seed planted in the soil will germinate, resulting In the physical life of a plant. When there is perfect agreement between one's will and the will of God there Is spiritual life. It takes constant effort to know the will of God and a stern determination to do to maintain spiritual life. r 0 Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions Discussion Questions on the Sunday School ixwson.

ers. trusted friends or character ought to be used by the youth as added safeguards. V.l. "For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is emoother than oil,” The designing woman lx artful in her approach to victims. Evil often cloaks itself In the dress of graciousness. Here is one place that one is Justified In being angry — "Be angry and sin not" is good admonition. V.l. "But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.” When vice lays hold on the life of youth, it twists and wrenches every power, leaving the life broken and embittered. There never has been any reward for evil but suffering, disgrace, and death. Those who yield to seductive words bring upon themselves sorrows and troubles that are bitter indeed. V. 10. "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Next to Christ, is a woman with a good heart, a pure life and a sacrificing love: such a woman makes a mother on whom heaven smiles and the home adores. V. 11. "The heart of her husband! doth safely trust her, so that he! shall have no need of spoil.” Father is the breadwinner and the mother Is the home maker; he trusts her to use his earnings well. V. 12. "She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.” Pure woman hood is the only successful antidote to moral — depravity. The devoted mother, the steadfast sweetheart, the faithful wife present a picture of humanity at its best. V. 13. “Let no man say when he is tempted, am tempted of God; for God can not be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man.” God permits man. for the cultivation of his spiritual life, to endure temptation. God never consents to our being subjected to temptation which would be too strong for us to withstand. With every temptation he makes away of escape. V. 14. "But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of bis own lust and enticed.” Temptation lies in the consenting desires, a yielding to an evil impulse. Man is guiliy of sin when he fails to control his desires and impulses. The result of sinful yielding Is seen in the next verse. It is at the point of control of the inner life that salvation by Christ is seen. 2. How far should the youth he allowed to exercise their freedom when eveil is involved? 3. What are the best safeguards of a pure life? 4. What are some of the eins that accompany immorality? 5. What can be don-y to bring about improvement for a purer society? Q Lesson Prayer Lew on prayer: We are grateful for ample provisions made for the cleansing of the heart and the making of a pure heart. Come, I blessed Holy Spirit, with refining power and go through my heart till the image of God is restored and made to shine out as God's expression of divine love. , ...Q.. - — Clerious Says: Clericus says. "How often parents have wrung -their bands in despair as they have seen their children led astray by evil companion s. Sometimes the Imposition of stern discipline can halt this evil trend of affairs and turn It back. Often, however, parents have to leave their loved ones to the Lord, centering their efforts net on protest, which Is generally futile, but on prayer which is always efficacious, i
