|\ On Creamed Comments on tbe Sunday School Lesson, The Great Invitation. Isaiah 55:1-11, for Sunday, November 20. God himself is the speaker in this lesson and he Issues a great invitation to al) people to return to him for foregiveness and blessings and the final satisfaction of their deepest and holiest yearnings. V.l. "Ho every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye. buy and eat; yea. come, buy wiae and milk without money and without price.” Man's spiritual needs are expressed in thirst. One must want salvation before he can have it. The key is “Come". Salvation is free and free for ail. V. 2. "Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which unto me. and eat ye that which satisfietb not? hearken diligently is good." Spending money for that which is not bread is exactly what people are doing who spend time and money for sinful and frivolous things in their quest for an elusive good time. Bread is a symbol for that which can truly satisfy. A soul delights itself In fatness when there is a full satisfaction of spiritual longings. V. 3. "Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear any your soul shall live; and 1 will make an everlasting covenant with you. even the sure mercies of God.” To incline the ear Is to hear sympathetically; then we are to come, hear and accept. When this is done we may know Christ. V. 4. "Behold. I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people." Grammatically the reference is to David, but the prophet is referring to David as the type of Christ, and what Is here said about David may be applied directly to Christ. V. 5. "Behold thou shall call a nation that thou knowest not. and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God. and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee." Christ at his coming will call into his kingdom a nation with whom George Matheson, the wellknown blind preacher of Scotland, now with the Lord, says: "My God. I have never thanked Tbee for my ‘thorn’! 1. have thanked Thee a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my ’thorn'; I have been looking forward to a world where 1 shall get compensation for my cross, but 1 have never thought of my cross as itself a present glory. Teach me the glory of my cross: teach me the value of my ’thorn.’ — Moody Monthly. LESSON PRAYER: lesson prayer: We praise God that with every pure desire, with every honest and sincere longing of the soul, divine wisdom has made provisions for their satisfaction. Grant that we may strive to know thy thoughts and discover thy purposes and walk according to them.

I he had no covenant even the Gentile nation. The great cause of atI traction, as Indicated in this verse, ! will be the glory which God tho I! Father has bestowed upon his Son by raising him from the dead and exalting Him to a seat on his right hand in heaven. — Acts 2:32.13. V. 6. "Seek the Lord while be may be found, call upon him when be is near.” It behooves one to sense the presence of God and to detect bis appeal hi the many circumstances and experiences of life. Those circumstances and experiences may cover times of sorrow, times of serious reflections, deep Impressions of tbe fact of God and his power. Or it may be song, a letter or a spoken word through which a spiritual appeal is made. V.7. "Let the wicked forsake bls way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and be will have mercy on him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon." They are summoned to repentance; not to wails and tears as too often the modern man is disposed to define repentance, but to an entirely new life. Upon men must come the burden of action, and the action required is to forsake the old sinful ways and the old sinful thoughts — R. W. Rogers. V.B. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” These words have a broad application. God’s purposes which he proceeds to carry out. surpass anything man could plan or think possible. This was true of Israel's future, of the plan of redemption, and of our individual salvation. Men sometimes find it hard to forgive, but God will "abundantly pardon." V. 9. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than our thoughts." God’s way of dealing with sin is lifted up above all human examples. God’s eternal purpose is so great that man can not comprehend it fully. V.lO. "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth noth thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh It bring forth and bud. that it may give need to the sower, and bread to the eater” The point here seems to be the certainty of tbe precesses of nature in accomplishing what their maker designed. V.ll. "So shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth.” God's promises are sure. Clericus Says: Clericus says: "The happiest man on the earth has tbe happiest thoughts. Down in your heart, are you happy? Are your neighbors happy? Why not? They have not et learned to think God's way. Fortunately, He can fill any heart with love, Joy, and peace, with many foretastes of heaven's glory.” Book Review How to increase Church Membership and Attendance, by Weldon Crossland. Abingdon-Cokes-bury Press, contains practical suggestions that will enable every pastor to iMiild up hie church, whether large or small. The plans and methods outline a program of evansc' Ism that gets results. Tbe author summarises the basic principles of each chapter and tells how to put them Into practice. He tells how to wit people for Christ and keep them active. Why not turnlife's stony patches into rock gardens?
