When they came to the boundary fence, the father stopped and listened while his Bye* searched from right to left. Silently, he began to climb the fence. Then the lad spoke: “Dad, you didn’t look up." Sudden guilt shomed the father; he took the lad by the hand and returned home. o Trude In n Good Town — Decatur EFFICIENT, COURTEOUS SERVICE. Bring your repairs to us. Brant Motors, Inc.

If Creamed/ I CommentsJagJ Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson fro Proverbs, Matthew and Janies for Sunday, Sept. 14. Proverbs 3:27-31; 15:1, 4, 18; 18:24; 19:22; 22:24-25; 25: 18; 21-22; 26:20-21; 27:10; Matthew 5:9: Janies 3:17. In this lesson are seen the fundamentals of harmonions living by means of self • restraint, equanimity, agreeable companionship, kindness, quietude with the results of blessing in harmonious living. V. 30. “Strive not with a man without a cause, if he has done thee no harm." Here is the lesson of selfrestraint. To insist on our human rights is not the highest good. Some rights can well be given up for the sake of peace. V. 31. “Envy not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.” No matter if the wicked seem to prosper even above the righteous for the of judgment will take care of the wicked; so why envy his seeming success? V.l. “A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger.” A truly righteous person learns the right use of his tongue. Not to be taken unawares when tempted to return evil for evil calls for a stable character of good will to all and love for others even our enimies. V.lB. “A wrathful man stirreth up strife; but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.” Angry words make a bad situation worse; troubles are not settled by arguments; when one starts an argument, the other one may be silent; or sometimes it does not hurt if a man. charged with wrongdoing, says it might have been that he was in the wrong and if so then he is very sorry — that is one way of appeasement. V. 24. “Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man that shalt not go.” An angry man or a furious one must be given a wide bert. For it is impossible to help such a one to live a better life when Sunday School Lesson Discussion Questions Discussion Questions on the Sunday School Lesson, The Wisdom of Harmonious Living for Sunday, September 14. 1. Why is living harmoniously of such great importance? 2. When ought one to have nothing to do with another? 3. How ought we treat our enemies? 4. What are some of the causes of social strife? 5. What can be done to remove those causes? Clerious Says: Clericus says: “Much of the happiness of life depends upon how one gets along with others. People who live in harmony with those around them are usually happy, but if they do not thus live, they will make life miserable for themselves and every one with whom they are in close touch; likely those who do not live in harmony with others are downright eelfish in not being willing to surrender at least some of their rights and comforts. o Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer: We pray for more of the spirit of Jesus in our family and social lives; help us

COME TO CEKWCE

in an angry or furious mood. V.lB. “A man that beareth false witness against his brother is a maul, and a sword and q sharp arrow. “Telling lies, bearing false witness, is far more dangerous than throwing hand grenades. To spread evil reports about a brother or a friend is sinful. The man who indulges in telling the evil in others discounts himself, since he bulids up a habit of seeing evil instead of the good in others. V. 21. “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty give him water to drink.” A hungry enemy is an opportunity, not for revenge, but for such conduct as will change him into a friend. Our sending food supplies to Germany and Japan is the way to peace. We must look for needs in those who may not like us and do our best to supply those needs. V. 22. “For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.” The practice of perfect love or kindly treatment of enemies may melt down the enemy to conciliation as fuel heat on the ore fuses it from hardness and sends it forth in liquid streams. One measure of a man’s character is the way he treats those who dislike him or his enemies if he has any; such can at least be on a man's prayer list; in our Lord’s prayer, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us” calls for action in keeping with the life of Christ who forgave his enemies. V. 20. “Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out; so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. Any fire stops when the fuel is not supplies. So a contention stops when people quit talking. Helpful conversation is a fine art. One ought to cultivate ways of changing subjects when there is gossip or talebearing. V. 21. “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.” A contentious person is a quarrelsome person and his expressions in words and deeds are seeds of strife. I V. 9. “Blessed are the peace makers; for they shall be called the children of God.” They are called children of God because in promoting peace they show themselves like God. to be willing to suffer for the sake of harmony; grant that we may think well of others and sow in words and deeds that first of all, we are the children of God and that we long for Christian fellowship that knows only harmony. Our Preacher Ml w Investment is one of the driving motives of life. One must exert self-interest in a wholesome way in order that he may have something to invest. The power of the investment motive is determined by the permanency of the results. If the investment is lost, then there follows disappointment and discouragement. If the investment lafits for eternity then the driving motive power is at its best. Possessing eternal life for self and others has a permanent value and offers the soul’s greatest motive. o Trnile in n Good Town — Deiuitnr
