DEVOTIONAL READING: I Corinthians 13. , The Way of Love Lesson for November 23, 1947 SUNDAY’S lesson is based on the writings of John, I John I—3, and John 21:15-22. The devotional reading is First Corinthians 13. *

Travelling on a plane at night a little while ago, I talked at length with a group of business men. The conversation turned at last to the Bible. I asked the group for their favorite passages in the Bible. They named several passages, but the majority said they loved

c Dr. Newton

most the writings of John. I think their answer emphasizes this truth. John tells us about God and his love. That is the message of this lesson. * • • The Happy Way of Life LOVE is the happy way of life. It is the only happy way of life. Children are happy to the degree that they are loved. Find me a home where children are truly loved, and I will have no difficulty in identifying that as a happy home. Little children yearn for love, and they respond in love. That is one reason why they like dogs. Dogs love little children, unless they are the wrong sort of dogs. And little children love dogs. If a dog can bring happiness to a little child by loving to the limit of its brute nature, how much more can parents, made in the image of God, bring happiness to little children by loving them. * * * Love Begets Love JOHN declares, “This commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also,” I John 4:21. We cannot hate people if we see them through eyes of love. The Bible somewhere speaks of the eyes of the heart, and it is of such eyes that I am now thinking. A friend of mine complained that some strangers had bought the house next door to his. They had a strange name, they talked strangely, they looked strange. He was tempted to sell his beautiful home and move to another community. He frowned when I smiled at him. I asked him if he would do what I proposed as a solution to his difficulty. He hesitated. I suggested that he cut an armful of dahlias from his garden and take them to the strange neighbors. He did. He discovered that the strange neighbor was an expert horticulturist. Today they are great friends. They love one another. * * * Follow After Love HERE you will need to read I John 2:7-11. We need not pass resolutions about better relations within nations and between nations unless we are willing to follow after love in the everyday relationships of life. Just across the fence, just across the hedge, just across the desk, just across the hall, just across the way, narrow or wide it may be, is a human being who yearns for love. It is generally safe to assume that the people you see every day are lonely people. You may not understand why, but they are lonely. What can you do to help them in their loneliness? That is where the water begins to hit the wheel in applying this lesson to everyday life. In the pioneer days of our country. people were more neighborly, because they were aware of great danger—danger from Indians, danger from wild beasts, danger from the wilderness about them. This sense of danger drew them together. Today, with our walled apartments, we have lost some sense of interdependence. That is why we are so lonely. Follow the better self within you. Penetrate these barriers. Follow after love. And you will be happier as you make your neighbor happy. • » • The Way of Love THE way of love is the way of Christ. “A new commandment I give unto you,” said Jesus, “That ye love one another as I have loved you.” Not until we reach the point that we can look at life through the eyes of love —the eyes of the heart —can we know the joy which comes when we follow the way of love. It may sound very simple. That is the reason why it is so vital. It is the one way up and out for our frightened world. The way of love is the way God wants us to go today and tomorrow. ♦ * 0 (Copyright by the International Council ot Religious Education qn beball ot 40 j Protestant denominations.

ROYAL COUPLE (Continued jeep. Broadlands, the mansion of Philip's uncle, Earl Mountbatten, has been the Royal South Hampshire hospital since the war, and the Mountbatten’s kept only a small wing of it for their use. This was where Elizabeth and Philip were honeymooning, and the patients in the hospital were beside themselves in excitement, thinking that by looking out of the windows, they might see the royal lovers strolling in the gardens. There also were four servants, although, the Mirror reported, Philip let all of them go except the Butler after dinner. Dinner, under Britain’s strict rationing, was potato soup, roasted chicken, two vegetables and ice cream. A special, flower-bedecEed train took them from London to Winchester, the station nearest the estate, early last night. The Mirror said that as soon as they arrived, Elizabeth was shown to the pink and gold bedchamber, where a maid helped her change from her going away costume. Philip changed from his naval uniform and they met about 8 p.m. in the drawing room, where there was a blazing fire on the hearth. According to the Mirror, Philip snapped on the radio and then shut it off. They talked for a while and the Princess opened several of the congratulatory telegrams from piles that had arrived. Then they went into the little dining room and sat side-by-side for dinner, which the Princess insisted on calling “supper.” Servants in the halls said they could hear them laughing and talking. 0 Studies of animals indicate that the greater their mental capacity, the more sleep they require. o Baked Goods-Chicken Noodle soup sale, Saturday, November 22, Zion Evangelical and Reformed church basement and Goodyear Service.
