| Creamed «| P Comments On S.S. i<STOT L- L r Creamed comments on the Suni4»y school lesson; '’the People . Make Their Choice. Joshua 24:1-8, 14-18, for Sunday, December 30. The lesson is Joshua's farewell address, emphasizing the necessity for spiritual loyalty and faith: there must be no compromise. He j reminds the people of God’s goodness to them and commends them to Him in the future. V.l. "And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and -called for the elders of Israel, and for . their head, and for their judges.-and for their officers; and tljev presented themselves before God." the people together, not t$ give them orders, but to ask them to make an important choice. Shechem has sa cred memories. Abraham erected his first altar here; Jacob built one here, and later sanctified his house; Joseph was buried here/ ahd here God's ancient promise and his present fulfillment are united. V. 2. ‘“And Joshua said unto all the people. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other Side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods." Flood means river, the Euphrates. Abraham lived among heathen; his father made idols. V. 3; "Artd' I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him yiwiac.” God’s method is to lead, : riot coerce. , I ■ V.l. "And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave.unto /Esau mount Seir, To possess it, but Jacob and his children went 1 down into Egypt." Note the use of "if". - God is saying. Don’t be too proud of your accomplishment and say. Look what we have done. "I” have done it. not you. •’ V. 5. "I sent Moses, also, and. Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, «<•-• t6 that which I did among pthem: and afterward I brought vo : out." The nation had a contiiinnu . life so that the pronoun "you" ’tioes not refer to the generation being addressed. V. 6. ’.’And I brought your fathers put of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea." These miracles rehearsed again and again were a stimulus ~ /j, - s | . Much .in life depends on a good beginning. A farmer is careful. to choose good seed, the beginning of •plant life. "A bad beginning makes a good endlng ‘/ib not true. Bryon’s confession is revealing. He said, “The thorns '-1 have reaped are of the tree I planted. They have torn mb and I have bled. I should have khown what fruit would spring from such seed.” If you want, a good year, if : you crave a . task well dorie, or a life well spen‘, start right. Coupled with starting right h - going right all the days M your life; such is the Christian lr ” ? — To every day we live, a day we s ’le.—Campion. 1

to their faith. \ V.7. "And when they cried unto the Lord, he put darkness between you an d the Egyptians, and brought thev, sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt; and ye dwelt in the wilderness, a long season.” God responded W. Isrhel’s cries as a mother to-' ijer babe. All had not but all knew the warning of that experience. :.„7 V.B. "And I brought you into the land, of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you; and I gave, theminto your hand, that ye might possess their land; ahd I destroyed them before you.’’’ ' The victories reveal not only God’s goodness, bu* serve as a warning not to follow the iays of the Amorites. - V. 14. "Now therefbre fear the Lord, j And 'X^ ve Mm ih sincerity and in truth: and put away the vods which your fathers served'on the other side of the flood, and in . Egypt; and serve ye the Uord.” "Fear" ‘ here is the wholesome kind that reflects trust ip God. There were still idolaters and idols in the land; ( they must be driven out. ! J I, J - ' ‘, V. 15. “And if It r seein evil unto you to serve the Lord,. Qhoose you this day whom will serve; whether the gods whfch your fathers served that were other side of the flood, or the gods o the Amorites, In whose land ye dw'ell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the. Lord.” Joshua had reached the Climax of his speech; he had his stand for God; they were now to make their choice, y that they might not afterwards plead they were compelled. 4 V. 16. "And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve, other gods,” Joshua’s speech had greatly the people, and there was an" immediate response, “Far be it from us that we should forsake JehoVah." It is easy to 'fehout our love for God when others' are doing it; it is another thing to prove our love by- the way we live; V. 17. Reiterates Joshua’s reasons for serving the Lord: namely, grateful response for all , l|e had done. »* V.lB. “’Aikl the Lord drove’ put from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwell in the land: therefore will we also the Lord; for he is This is a declaration of devotion based on their faith, in God. —Based pn copyrighted outlines produced by the Division* bf Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. u- J :—■. .A—MISSIONARY.
