Creamed Comments on the Sunday School l.esxiin. Baruch, The Scribe, Jeremiah 36: 4-32 for Sunday. August 1. Again we are to study the life of a helper, namely. Baruch, Jermiah's secretary who bad religious convictions that gave him courage and a loyalty that placed him In the front rank in the work of God. V 4. "Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had spoken to him. ujxin a roll of a book." Jeremiah, one of God's valiant prophets, had words | of denunciation of Israel's sins. he wanted to make them public, I hence the written copy. V. 5. "And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying. I am shut up; I can not go into the house of the Lord." For some reason Jeremiah was restrained from going into the temple and preaching. VB. "Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from iny mouth, the words of the U>rd in the ears of the people In the lord's house on the fasting day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of Judah that come out of the city.” There was assigned Io Baruch a duty that took courage.

V.7. "It may be they will present their supplication before the lx>rd. and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury of the tx>rd that the Lord hath pronounced against this people." The implication is that if the nation does repent and genuinely return to the Lord, the coming predicted destruction will be averted. Repentance is the way hack to God VB. "And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did according to all tliat Jeremiah the prophet commanded him. reading in the book the words <>t the la>rd in the laird’s house" A written word becomes more-dy nsuiic If read to the public. V 17. "And they asked Baruch, saying. Tell qs now. How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?" One of the princes who heard Baruch's reading announced the contents of the book which caused a great consternation This

OupPreacherZM T I It is human to be revengeful; it is divine to be forgiving. Revenge brings no triumphs; the satisfaction of getting even often leaves a scar. To treat another as "mighty common” marks you very co.rrmon. To treat another who has been "mighty common” with kindness, consideration, helpfulness. is likely u> c hange bis c ommonness to something finer, his <-nmity to friendliness. wlerious Soys: Clericua says: "The doctrine of levelation la the starting point of all religious thinking Until we are convinced that God is a self-

needless question was asked be cause they wanted to avoid the convictions of their sine. V .13. “Then Baruch answered them. He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink In the book " The answer to the simple question was a ample answer Truth Is simple when understood V. 19. "Then said the princes unto Baruch. Go. hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye be." This was a the king, had a record ol violence under provocation. V. 20. "And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll In the chamber of Eliahima the scribe. and told all the words In the ears of the king." A summary of the book was given t<> the king that it might induce them to have the hook read. V 21. “So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll, and he took it out of Eliahima the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king." God has always found ways to get his mrsage to those in authority as well as to the common people; the king just wanted to hear the words of the book without a desire to obey them. He would not hear well. V. 22. "No* the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: I and there was a fire on the hearth 1 burning before him." The king sat in his home in apparent comfort! yet not all was well.

V 23. "And it came to pass,.that when Jebudl had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the pen knife, and cast it unto the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth" Many attempts have been made to destroy the word of God but today It is the best seller. V. 24 "Yet they were not afraid. nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that beard all these words ” Being unafraid of God Is brutishneics rather than nobility; brutes are not afraid of God. V 32. "Then took Jeremiah another roll and gave It to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jeholakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides many like words. One thing added was the announcement of the punishment that would come to the king. No persecution has ever thwarted for long the word of God. revealed God and that be has adopted s certain and undeviating plan for making himself end bis purposes known to his children, we never get very far in understanding the Bible. When we receive the authorative proclamation of God himself, our feet are on solid ground.

Lesson Prayer lesson prayer: We are grateful for the written word of God with Its promises and Its denunciations of sin. which convict al sin and lead the repentant to stand on the promises of God. Grant that wo mag become stable and courageous and faithful aa we stand firm ly on God's word.

I Home „4ionl The Real Home A real home is a gymnasium. The ideal of a healthy body is the first one that should be given a child. A real home Is a lighthouse A lighthouse reveals the breakers ahead, and shows a clear way past them. A real home is a playground. Beware of the house where you "mustn’t froliC'-there mischief is brewing for someone. A real home is a workshop. Pity the boy without a kit of tools, or the girl without a sewing basket They haven’t learned the fun of doing things-and there is no fun like that. A real bame la a forum. Honest, open discussion of life’s great problems belongs originally and primarily to the family circle. A rani home Is a secret society. Ixiyalty to one’s family should mean keeping silent on family mat-ters-just thia and nothing more A real home is a co-operative league. Households flourish in peace where the interest of each is made the interest of sll. A real homo is a haven of refuge. The world does this for us all; it makes us hunger for a loving sympathy and calming, soothing touch. —E. E. Puritan, in Efficient Living.

The Church-The House of Prayer Tennyson once said, "More things are Wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what] are men better than sheep or goats that nourish a Mind life within the brain, if. knowing God. they lift not hands of prayer both for themselves and those who call them friends’ For so the whole round earth Is every way bound by gold chins about the-feet of | Church Sel L.I Qfum >l How can moral conscience be created as moral force that will overcome the force of war weapons? The answer to this question is in the domain of religion. For It is a task of conversation, of the transformation of character that results in a Christian experience of sovereign peoples who permit brigands to rule. It Is not a task that can be accomplished in a few veers; it requlrss the patience of years. It requires ingenuity, resourcefulness. common honesty, and courage to acknowledge wrong where wrong is done to others The time to prevent war is long before passions have been aroused and when the seeds of friction are being sown”, says David Lawrence.
