| Creamed tn I B Comments J&l On 8.8,< fiP&l fe LesEQnj&ga^ l Creamed comments on the Sun- ■ day school lesson, The Christian’s War (Temperance Lesson), Eph- ! esians 6:10-20; Romans 14:19-21, for Sunday, August 9. In this lesson is. taught the way to fight gross wickedness and to win a victory over it. The sins of the flesh are very real and the Word of God shows how to meet the assaults of temptation and how to overcome them. V. 19. “Finally, be strong in the ■ Lord, and in the strength of his might. Here is Paul’s conclusion for the supremacy of the word of God which makes it clear that all , TJroblenjs are spiritual and they • can be solved by a spiritual force generated by the Lord who imparts the strength of his might. V. 1,1. "Put on the whole armout of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The Christian life is a warfare; (but the Christian is to be a happy warrior; he does not just use some of the armour, but the whole armour; he uses every means of fortification. V. 12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers, of the darkness of this w-orld, against spiritual Wickedness} in high places.” Evil men and evil works are the result of ideas realized. These ideas must be met face to face with spiritual ideas which Christianity provides. V. 13. "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all. to stand.” Not to stand is to fall, and a fallen man is a lost man. Many enemies of the soul are unseen; they first capture the imagination and then appeal to reason as something that is common, and then they entice the will to act, a condition that brings on "the evil day." | V. 14. "Stand therefore, having yeur- 4eta« | girt about with truth and having; on the breastplate of righteousness.” One needs to be well indoctrinated in Bible truths

The best day—today. The greatest mistake—giving up. The most expensive indulgence—hatred. The cheapest, easiest stupidest thing to do —find fault. The greatest trouble maker—talking too much? T,be worst bankrupt—the soul haß.lost its enthusiasm. The meanest feeling—jealousy.. The greatest need —common sense. The best gift—forgiveness. The greatest sin—prayerjessness. i — Frank Crane. CLERIOUS SAYS: Clericus savsi “The Christian battle is not against men but igaihst the sins and mistaken notions of men. Evil men in the world are but the victims of perverted ideas—the agents either wittingly or unwittingly, of a vast demonjc empire which plagub human life. The Bible frankly teach--3S that angels have their counterparts in demons, and that God has in afch enemy dphosing his righteous purpose, sin.” '■ Make personality a study. Some folks are happiest when they make others miserable.

and have a consciousness of integrity. V 15. “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace." One needs the inspiration of God’s message of peace. V. 16. "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." One needs a strong faith in God so that he has the feeling that one with the Lord can put a thousand to flight; since God never an be defeated, one walking with him may continual victory. ' V. 17. “And take the helmet of salvation.; bad the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” One should ever keep in mind that he is . saved by Christ; when tempted one ought to be sustained by the conviction that he does not ; belong to the class ruled by sin. His conviction is reinforced by a fitting Bible promise which the Holy Spirit uses in him and for him. V.lB. "Praying always with a|l prayer and supplication in thje Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for the saints.” Every victorious Christian prays earnestly according to the will of God daily. Praying needs to be as natural as breathing. V. 19. "And for me, that utterance may be givqn unto me. that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of title gospel.” Our Spiritual leaders need otlr prayers. A preacher will succeed just in the measure that his church will pray for hhjn. Pa-ul in prison was in special heed of prayer. [ V. 19. “Let us therefore follow after the things which mske for peace, and things whereby one may edify another.” Contention is to be deplored. Wb ought to stress points of agreement. V.2d. "For meat destroy not the work of God; all things indeed are pure; but it is evil for (that man Jhat eateth with offence.” It is wrong to cause another to fall by what he eats or drinks. Here is where (he temperance lesson comes in. No one can measure the hurtful influence that emanates from tpe life of one drinking. —Bused 0n copyrighted outlines produced -by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches of Christ in the U.

At a meeting in the interests of world brotherhood, Edward G. Robinsen, motion picture-] »tar, said, 'Bigotry just does not make sense. It never built a bank balance, bought a government bond, or gave a boost to national income. Religion proclaims the brotherhood of man, science supports it, oiir economy needs it,. i wit i Wisdom >4l Sufficiently Urged, He Did It One of a family of toads fell into a deep rut made by trucks. He said in dismay, "I can’t get out." All kinds of suggestions were of-, sered by the family, and finally they went home in dismay. When they awoke the next morning, to their surprise, the lost toad was there. "Why, hoW did you get out of the rut?” the family exclaimed. Very simply he announced, "A' truck came along." B««k Review Christian Stewardship and Church Finance, by H- W. Ellis, Zondervan Publishing Housd, was written because of the conviction that every Christian needs to tithe. It is God’s command. With the giving of our money, thfere comes a spiritual blessing. If the church is to fulfil its mission, it must have financial support. When Christians are fulfilling the will of God. they will be good stewards. ___ - -—- /I Lutheran World Relief will distribute nearly 6,900.090 pounds of powdered milk to the needy throughout the world, according to the board of directors.
