Creative Power of Faith Lesson for October 19, 1947 THIS lesson takes us to the Westminster Abbey of the Bible— Hebrews, eleventh through the thirteenth chapters—to meditate for a season upon the jgfcTteL " valiant souls in the •'-’R long ago. who ob1 tained a good re■■’SrT porJ as llle " sto °d at the passage of te destiny and soundthe tr umpets °* triumph, even the Uli trumpets of faith. sjjjik %Sg The reader will slfl be richly rewarded to stop right here Dr. Newton and open his or her Bible and read these three chapters. Your attention will be riveted to the word, faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of “things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:1-3. • * » A Journey to a New Land T WANT the boys and girls to * look at the passage which describes how Abraham, "when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hew could Abraham leave his pleasant situation in Ur? Through faith in God, and that alone. A memory verse is here suggested: ”1 will trust, and will not be afraid,” Isaiah 12:2. Abraham might well have been afraid of unknown enemies, of disease, of poverty. Men do become afraid of these things, unless their faith is in God. But Abraham believed in God—had faith in God. And he went forth, holding the hand of God. There is creative power in such a faith. Abraham discovered that every step he took was accompanied by God. He built altars. He talked with God, and God talked with him. Such will be the experience of every boy and girl who stakes his or her all upon implicit faith in God. * * • What Faith Can Do INTERMEDIATES are considering •* what they will do with their lives. It is the vitally important period when they are wistfully considering a life career. This lesson would seem to clearly indicate that God has a purpose and plan for each life. He will reveal that plan to those who trust him for guidance. Faith in God at this point is absolutely essential if we are to live victoriously. Read again the eleventh chapter of Hebrews and see how these heroes of faith in the long ago cast themselves wholly into the will «f God for their lives. We can have no doubt about their ultimate success. Parents and teachers are here reminded of their solemn responsibility in pointing intermediate boys and girls to the truth of Sunday’s lesson. Life is too valuable, too fleeting, to be frittered away in purposeless drifting. Faith is the bright shaft of God’s presence and power to guide young people into his will. It is the unfailing light to direct their steps daily. It is the creative power to sustain them each step of the way. This Power at Work z '■CAKE any one of the characters ■*- portrayed in these three chap- ■ tors of Hebrews and see how faith in God produced men and women who changed the course of history. . Young people are interested, in. biography. I would commend to you the lives of the great men and women of modern times, who,"lived in the creative power of Leith in f God. / John Wesley, for example . There was a man whose lif e , when strangely warmed by z the spirit of God, lifted F,»giand t r om the depths of secularism am j set her feet once more on the., highway of worthy achiev'eme/ u. Martha Berry is another splendid example. Miss Bo'.ry de j oted her life to God’s and purpose to open doors opportu’jJ ty to the under-privi> g ec j boys ej id girls of the soutj»' ern mountain areas. Today, at Mt.
