Worthy Objectives Lesson for September 48, 1947 THE Book of Ecclesiastes, written by Solutnon, B. C. 977, is profitable in the fact that it discloses the findings of a very remarkable man on life. Solomon

Dr. Newton

tells us that lie had tried every tempting offer of the world, but found it vanity. “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity,” he declares. Solomon is often referred to as the wisest of men. He does not make this claim, nor would I suggest it. As a matter of fact,

Solomon was a very unwise man in many of the manifestations of his life. He had every advantage, but yielded to selfish pursuits of pleasure when he might have been serving his day and generation by the will of God. Why do I point to Solomon as an unwise man? From his own testimony—“l gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For In much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.” » • • Excellent Advice EVEN so, Solomon was ready, by the time he wrote Ecclesiastes, to give some excellent advice. He had discovered that pomp and ceremony are meaningless—that they turn at last to ashes. For example, “He (God) hath made everything beautiful in its time,” chapter 3, verse 11. Solomon had dealt in the artificial. He had worn the most costly robes, lived in the finest palaces, had gardens set up to please any passing whim. But now that he has come to see the vanity of men, he can at last open his eyes to the beauty which God creates. And now he has become a wise man, indeed. There is beauty everywhere if only we have eyes to see. Words of Wisdom T"'HE next section of Sunday’s lesson brings us to one of Solomon's greatest confessions. He says, chapter 3, verse 14: “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever; nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear oeforo him.” We do well to remember that God is, and that he is good, and that he is sovereign. “This is our Father’s world,” wrote Maltbie Babcock. Here is a truth for today. In our dismay over the atomic bomb, we are about to forget that God intended for man to discover atomic energy, and he expected man to have enough moral stamina to use this discovery for his good and God’s glory. Which brings us to the heart of the Preacher's message,-chapter 12, verse 13: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.” » • » Seeking the Best In Life QOLOMON, by his own testimony, missed much of the finer things of life; but he admonishes the reader to prdfit by his mistake and seek the best in life. For example, in chapter 2, verse 24, Solomon says: “There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour.” Every boy and giriyn the world knows the joy of honest work, at least 1 hope so. Have you grown a beautiful flower? A vegetable garden? Cut a cord of fire wood? Then you know that work is one of the essential ways of seeking the best in life. Then Solomon comes to the first eight verses of the last chapter—a golden section for memory. It is one of the first passages of Scripture I ever learned. I trust every young person reading this column will commit that passage to memory. if you have not already done so. • » • Testing Life's Philosophies SOLOMON concludes his confessions with this probing declaration: “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whethei* it be gadd, or whether it be evil.” What is he saying' 1 He is reminding us that whatever may be our philosophy of life, such philosophy, together with our commitments thereto, will be tested out under the white light of God's ultimate truth. My conclusion is that I "desife 'but one thing—to find and follow the will of God, which Is always right and always best. • * * (Jr CtMca cf Reliiie-Ji EAiMSM ox btia.i at 40 pratastlst ieiaartottlsas. if rKU FtiUittt.)

However, this usually means using extra milk or butter and with butter at 97 cents a pound now and milk in Atlanta at the highest price in the country this isn’t practical. Mrs. Nell Starps. Takoma Park, Md. — I have to and I am going to I cut down. 1 am planning to cut | down on every ingredient 1 now use I to feed my family. I also plan to pull out the menus 1 used during and right after depression days and start using them again. Mrs. Hayden Henley. Detroit — I believe that Americans are a bit extrvagant. The people could cut down a great deal if the housewife is made food conscious. Charles Eusebe, chef at the Olympic hotel. Seattle. Wash. — I don't waste anything because I know how to re-use leftovers. I check the food to see that nothing is souring. Statler hotel chef, Washington, D. C. — we try to save as much food as we can all the time so 1 don’t think there is much waste to ' eliminate right now. Matthew Bernatsky, chef at the Shiek’s case. Minneapolis — I cei tainly am in favor of the idea. The plan has tremendous merit. It must be handled by practical men who know how to make the ha’st use of foods.
