I Creamed a I | CommentSzJH l\ On iv ('n amed Comments on the Sun-, day School Lesson. God and the Nations, the lesson recorded in the fidlowing chapters of Isaiah: j 1; 10; 13; 19; 31; for Sunday, Oet<d>er 16 These chapters have running ’ through them very much the same j thought. It is difficult to give a lesson interpretation so the out-1 standing truths will be indicated.' , Affirmations ot these truths can oe traced in the different chapters. The fundamental truth is that God moves in all national life to accomplish his righteous purpose? The work of providence may not be seen all the time but in the end God's purpose is revealed. All nations are under the band of God. Hitler failed in Germany and Russia tiecause God's purpose will finally come to the fore. God is great enough and wise enough to over rule ail things and use the free and even the wicked choices of men to further his own righteous purposes. It is God's purpose that all men and all nations be righteous and i be saved. As an illustration of what the lajrd wanted to see Is recorded in Isaiah 19:19-21. What God wanted to do was to “bless, saying. Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel mine Inheritance." If these nations had re-1 pented and turned to God. that would have been the outcome. God's purpose for Judah was to "purely purge away thy dross." i In dealing with Assyria and Egypt. God’s purpose was to vindicate his moral law. If the wilfully chose evil, then they must be punished. ; even as Judah was punished. Ko one of the outstanding teachi logs Is that God's moral law operates in nations just as It does in individiiAle. The policies and acts of a nation must be right If they are not right, disaster will follow National sins are punished in due time just as individual sins are. Where there l.c moral looseness, there comes Inevitable personal and national decay. Babylon and l&Oiit fteacAet Dr. E. Stanley Jones says; , “There arc five things a human being cannot stand: an empty. ; goalless universe; self-centered-nesa; anger; fear, and a sense of i unresolved guilt These things throw sand Into the machinery of| life. But Jesus taught the op !>osite of all these He showed men God and heaven; he taught Godcenteredness instead of self-cen-j teredne-ss; he substituted love for anger; faith and trust for fear; and he gave men a feeling of forgiveness found in repentance. He placed oil ito life's machinery.” j — ■ II— Clerical Says: Clericus says: "Public morality is built on private morality. The government is never better than I the people. A righteous nation will eventually have a righteous government and an unrighteous people will permit corruption »to occut ind continue. The wholesome sola! and political life is definitely connected with religious faith." wmmmwmmmwmmww

; Persia gave themselves up to lust | and liquor and they fell. Egypt j worshiped beasts and she fell. | Greece was guilty of lustful moral ' looseness and Greece failed as a ' leading nation. Rome toppled into the samel I grave as did Greece. Here ds a I profound teaching for our country 1 since lust and liquor and moral looseness have our nation by the throat. God's purpose has always : I been that nations bound by the 1 power of sin, repent and obey I him. It must start In individuals, j Here is a thought that ought to drive ns to our knees. The call for repentance is seen in his longing for Egypt and As I syria to repent, saying. “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria to repent, saying. “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of mine hands, and Israel' ' mine Inheritance." Therefore, God lis ever issuing great calls, such as. “U*ok unto me and be ye sav- j ed. all the ends of the earth; for I am God and there is none else." 45:22. Here God offers deliverance from punishment and destruction <>n a national scale, for the nation will never clear Itself until conviction of sin gets into the life 1 and conscience of the individual National repentance depends upon individual repentance. Let no one , blame those in authority alone; ' better hlame one's self. By close scrutiny, the reason for this can be found. Here is a call for Individuals to! take a larger part In the affairs of the government. The movements of legislation must be studied*to find whether the ways of righteousness and justice have been followed. If those in authority are in error, we can communicate to ■ them our convictions; and if all the people would do that, those in places of leadership would give heed and a representative government would express the will of the people. But all individuals need to seek the wisdom that conies from above, and that calls for a surrender to God wholeheartedly, and a listen ing ear that will discern the will ot God. Then there must be exercised the courage of one's conviction, for mark you, many times such expressions will bring suffer ing to the individual; but that is the way to victory for individuals and for nations. | Church |b|| | R)rumjg|;| I Wbat Is the difference between a religionist and a Christian? A religionist is one that professes to have a religion as prescribed by a formal concept of a God or even of an idol god; he observes certain religious practices which he considers as the peculiar mark; he may be a —hurIch member with no experience. depending on his chur <-h relations to get him Into heaven.. A Christian Is one whose life corresponds to the Christian I believers at Antioch where the word Christian was first used. A study of the first Christians furnish the description of a true Christian. They were Übristcentered. having surrenuered their sins to Christ for pardon and them.selves for service. In this surrend er they were filled with the Holy I Ghost and accepted the Great Commission. “Go ye into all the ( w-orld and preach the gospel to every creature." MRMMWmWWVWWWW
