IcFeafned ml I Comments On ffigl Creamed comments bn the Sunday school lesson. Standards for Christian Living, I Timothy 4:7-16 for Sunday, August 30. To maintain a Christian life, there needs to be unswerving standards of life rind conduct for th© individual and the church. This standard consists of underlying Christian principles; this calls far. a careful study and courageous action in all righteousness. Th© special ‘teachings of today’s lesson are that a Christian should strive after godliness, set a worthy example, cultivate personal gifts, and work on the job. V.7. “But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto Godhness.” Profane and old wives' fables meant false doctrines; then, as now, there is miich diversion of the Christian standard and one will do well to Look into them and discern errors. Christians need to be courageous in all things that pertain to godliness, never yielding from sound doctrines. V.B. “For bodily exercise profiieth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of. that which is to come." "Physical fitness is fine and should be eagerly after, but sound moral character and its influence and what is created by the power of Christ, is the end for which we were born. Our hope In God ends in spiritual victory in this life and in the life to come. Here is taught the supreme value of a Christian standard expressed in Christian Hiving. This is well expressed in the following verse. V.lO. “For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men. specially of those that believe.” This verse refers to the rewards of godliness mentioned In verse 8. The reward® were sufttefertf- to TBIMF Paul to labor and suffer reproach for Jesus.’ sake. In Christ, ample provision was made for the- salvation of all, but seen only in those Who believe on Christ' with a saving faith. V.ll. “These things command ; and teach.” The Christian stand must be presented in life and deed so as to command attention; here
So seared has become our conscience that our souL is not sensitive to wrong and seldom arises the Question of what is right and what is wrong. We proceed on the theory that the end justifies the means and in thb case of war any means that will win is considered right. We epndemn the Russians, ahd we want God to condemn them. And so we use th© most destructive weapons in warfare. But we can’t fight an evil system, a wrong philosophy with bombs. It take* Christian principles ahd Christian' ideas and ideals to do that. This fact was illustrated by Ghandi. Xet us make Christian principles, ideas, and ideals real. Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We ar© grateful hat we have not been left with>ut guiding Christian principles, Christian standards which serve i* well in our program for indi-

la emphasized the importance of Christian let it be known that unconsciously all are teachers By, influence and more by Way oijmstrucUon. A Christian will make- plain the teaching, "Th|ia is the way, walk ye in it.* Vi.l2. "Let no man despise thy you)h; bu|be thou an example of she believers, in word, in conversation, jh charity, in spirit, in faitn, in pdi'lty.’’ Here are presented a catalogue of virtues to be heeded^; There is to be ao excuse because of age; beginning |with yout|, the thought of the powter of example must'be sed. One cknnot be a silent Christian!; hence, there are times when he must speak in Word and in conversation. *The motive of charity or liove mi|Bt dominate; this furnishes an irinex," urge of power. It is t|he spirit in which things are said and done that has value. When reason cannot be given, then faith paves the way. All around in ail generations there are the impure which /are to be shuhned by a life filled with purity |n thought apd in every expresslor. ’. I Vl3. “Till I fcome, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to> doctrine.”, A good Christian is a great readetg of the Bible and boo ts giving Bible interpretations. A Christian needs to express a challenge for Others to become ChrMtian, and to be well grounded en Chrlstlanf principles. V 14. “Neglect* not the gift that is pvithin thee which was given the© by prophecy, with the laying on I 1 of hands by the presbytery." The gifts of grace, favor, and kindness must be stirred within in that they may be well expensed. The symbol of having been called In Christian service musit never be obliterAted. V. 15. “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them that thy profiting inay appear to all." One needs to take hils religion so seriously that it Will take his first consideration. As a result of faithful Service, there "is experienced a* growth of one’s own soul which is most profitable. ' J tg. thyself, and unto the doctrines; continue in thtem; for in doing this thou shalt both Save thyself and them that hear thee.” Here is the conclusion of th© lesson. ! —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches of Christ in the U..S.

j \vitZ7M j I — nn4 — I Wisdom J 0 oat xx»p J A Good Reason An author and a friend were dlscussirig\ a new book. Said thb author: "John, 1 believe my judgment is better thjan yours. I have written a book and you haven’t." Replied John: “Nonsense. I’ve never lajd an egg, hit I am a better judge of an Omelet than afty hen in the country." . — ; . Book Review Blueprint for a Christian World, by Mary Alice'Tenny, Light and Life press, discusses the principles underlying the pattern of life adopted by John Wesley arid the early Methodists, who were eager to explore all the meanings of Christian, love, and. hence, originated modes of practical Christianity. This pattern, if adopted today as then, could give us a Christian world. CLERIOUSSAYS: k Clericris says: “We can only live up to our highest ideals if we live close to God. We do not need to run to an adviser or psychiatrist if we have moral conflicts; ue need only to take them to a living Christ who Hi now our Advocate before God's merciful throne. The only offering Christ desires of us is the offering of our sins.” ' To be a good sport, laugh off your troubles. Loss of temper makes one as illmannered as the person who causes It. Good habits are the soul’s muscles: the more you use them, the stronger they grow. When you learn of a friend's advancement or sorrow, write him a note. One key to personal magnetism is sympathetic listening. Poor indeed is the man who depends upon money for happiness. When a man’s hope dies, he is no longer a man. ~7 —tT —- ■ When people prove unkind, pray for a short memory. Sunday service is preparation for weekday service. ,
