ICommentSzM! | On fiLessonAgJffll 4 Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, the Obligation fd be Truthful, Exodus 20:16; John | S’: 15-27, for Sunday, June 15. 5 Here is a lesson regarding ones reputation, to be always telling the truth; there are many ways in which telling the truth is avoided and too little concern is given to ihe absolute rightful dealing with |fonesty in every possible expressibn. < / V. 16. “Thou shalt not bear witness against thy neighbor.” The fact’ is that in court proceedings, witnesses are required to take baths in tell ng only the truth With h penalty for perjury. Human relations are determined by (the (truthfulness of individuals. Always there have been liars; always there have been the lowest order pf sinners; always they have been punished. = V. 15. “And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another discipie; now that disciple \yas known to the high priest, and entered in Frftli Jesus into, the inner court,of tile high priest.” Here was the ppehfog trial of Jesus though he , was- innocent and needed courageous witnesses for there was great pressure brought against him by religious officials and a mass of people with rhurder in thriir hearts, f V. 16. "But Peter stood at the &oor without. Then went out that Other disciple, which was known to the priest, and spoke to her that ept the door, and brought in (Petr.” “That other disciple”—likely had the advantage of being Acquainted with the chief pirest, rind used this acquaintance in-mak-ing possible his being a witness |or Jesus. Jesus taught that first of al hlis disciples wrire to be ; his witnesses, and here was their greatest opportunity. What opportunities for witnessing all his followers have! f V. 17. “Then saith the damsel ihat kept the door unto Peter, Art jthop not one of. this plans’ disci?ple%? He gaifh I am not.” Likely il’Cter thought it did not matter punch what he said to her; little (did he realize hoW he was breakjing down the moral tissue of his Character. In the following verse |weV see Peter keeping company 1 -i j

U ' 1 , “Where did my time go?” “What has become of my money?” are often heard. These questions mean that the money and time (have not been budgeted; no deffinite plan as to time arid mbney tihas been made. Some one has said, if All around the chicken coop, the hnonkey chased the weasel. That’s ■ the way the money go&s, Pop, goes /the weasel.” The Bible tills i’a wise man that sits down and /counts the cost. A wise man budgets his mdney and his time and liyes within that budget. Time and money come out all right because they have been planned that way. Clericus Says: r Cl eric us says: “Christianity deals in absolutes, and (particularly in moral absolutes. It admits of no compromise. The life of a true believer must be lived- on] the basis of absolute purity, absolute fidelity, and absolute truthfulness. Compromise in the smallest detail causes the structure of the moral life to crumble.”

ing down fast. V. 19. “Then the high priest asked of his disciples and of his doctrine.” The fallacy here was in the fact that the high priest had sufficient evidence to know '‘who his disciples were and what he taught. He was evidently hoping /to make a case of Jesus’ own words; he resorted to trickery and was determined to win at any cost. It was not the truth he wanted but some trumped up charge he might make to suit himself. V 5.20,21..20,21. “Jesus answered him, I spake openly in the world; 11 ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. Why askest thou me, what have I said unto them; behold, they know what I said.” Jesus had nothing new to tell and so it would be useless to answer. Jesus answered with questions which drove right into his motive. . V 5.22,23. “And when he had thus/ spoken, one of the officers which stood, by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, answerest thou the high priest so? Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil? bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?” Jesus put this officer on trial. If he could not defend himself, then the words of Jesus were ?i rebuke, unthruthfulness and wrongdoing should always be rebuked, ' V 5.24,25. "Nqw Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou not also one of his disciples? He denied it and said, I am not.” The second denial of Christ was mdre pronounced than the first. One lie palls for another one to cover it up. Peter regarded his life’s safety above that of telling the truth. Had he not repented, he would have gone the way of Judas. V 5.26.27. “And one of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, skith, Did I not see thee in the garden with him? And Peter then denied again; and immediately the cock crew.” This \denial was accompanied with an oath, he huS gone to the depths and was now standing before the bar of his conscience. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Chririt in the U.S.A., and used by permission, with Christ’s enemies.

I ' Attend Regularly!

We ought to attend church to develop a sensitive conscience. It is when we see the “Lord high and lifted up” that We cry, “Woe is me for I am undone, for I am a man of unclean lips, and 1 dwell in the midst of an unclean people.” Then, too, we should attend church to make the greatest contribution to the building of a

assistant. Church Calendar The Walther League will have an out-door social Friday evening at Hanna-Nuttman park.
