I C reamed a I I Comments J&l On 8. S. 1 , wire L Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. The Christian’s Use of Money, I Timothy 6:6-19, for Sunday, September 6. The medium of exchange is necessary for business! transaction; it is necessary to help one be honest and pay his debts; but there is something enticing about it so than there is danger of being possessed by it and in turn; of forgetting the spiritual life. V. 6. “Bwt godliness with contentment is great gain.” Godliness is true Christianity; contentment signified a sufficiency. Christianity brings ir satisfaction that money can not buy; it?promotes mental and physical health; it makes friendship sweet; it gives a hope of heaven. — V 5.7,8. “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment, let us there with be content.” Onfe’s real necessities are sufficient food and raiment. The millions now starving illustrate true contentment with/ the need of food and clothing,'Are we better than'they? V. 9, “But they that will be rich fall into temptation, and into a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.” He who becomes absorbed in a pursuit after riches will place an undue value on them, and will neglect his soul. One with accumulated wealth may be tempted to spend it in away that will be injurious to soul and body and thus end in ultimate ruin. V.lO.- "For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some covet after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced th'emselves through with many (sorrows.” It is not money but Ithe love of it that is condemned; when love of money reigns, then one mdy expect there will be efforts to get it and often by questionable means. This covers all crime as well as respectable dishonesty in business; this wwy will in time cause one to be discredited and fall, experiencing great regrets. ' V.ll. “But thou, O man of God,

A col‘league discouraged and disgusted, ’emarked, “Isn't it a shame that with all this tremendous labor you been able to get any results?” “My, man. I’ve got lots of results. I have discovered several thousand things that won’t work.” Book Review ■ \ 4 With God in Red China, by F. Ilin Stockwell, Harper and Brothers, is ,the author’s account of 14 nonths in solitary Imprisonment 'ollowed by 914 months of “brainwashing." The book answers such •juestions as why have the tunists abolished Christian missions? What is happening to the hurch in China? Why did Ching’s government collapse? How o Communists change mind-sets?

flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patiehce, meekness.” One who eatnes|)y strives to possess the Christian virtues will have nothing to ■fao with the lure of money. from evil when pressing toward high foals. V. 12.

V. 16. “Who only hath Immortality, dwelling in the light which no man approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see; to whom te honor and power everlasting. Ilmen.” God is eternal, is real, but’ yet incomprehensible. V. 17. ’’Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” A man of wealth may be Christian if he maintains right attitudes toward money and toward God; one has'the right attitude when he truly expresses his appreciation to God for all his bountiful gifts. This thought is expressed In the next verse. V. 19. "Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time' to come, that they may lay hold on eternal The rich ought to give liberally to the work of God. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the ChUrckes of Christ in the U.
