(TreamedgTl I Comments F On &«.' Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, A World of Opportunity for All, Deuteronomy 24:14,15; 24:19; Amos 5:10-15, II Thessolonians 3:7-10, for Sunday, November 29. In this lesson we find practical suggestions as to the way the principles of humanity inherent in the Word of Ood may be applied. V. 14. “Thou shall not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of the brethren, or of thy strangers, that are within thy land within thy gates.” The oppression here, as also Indicated in the following verse, is the withholding of wages due. There are many reasons why a large proportion of the people live in poverty or with just,enough for mere existence; in thia class are the physically handicapped, the mentally deficient, those in servitude, those socially embarrassed; but most of all, are those who do not have' an opportunity; these too long oppressed may rise against their masters, urged on by the innate sense of freedom. V. 19. “When thou cuttest down thy harvest in the field and hast forgot a sheaf in the field thou shalt not go again to fetch it; it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands.” It was the custom for those in need to follow after the gleaners of the harvest and pick up grain that had been left behind. Should, by accident, there be left behind a sheaf representing a little more liberality, due concern ought to be given the large class of the neery who have no other course to follow for their bread than to pick up fragments of grain. Here would be a scramble all because the proprietors who had wanted more, and because those who had little ware.forced to live on a very low standard. Thia class is helpless and a chance to improve their condition rests with those who have an abundance. Brotherhood of man has little meaning in such conditions. V.lO. “They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly." Reproof is not desired by those who are bent on doing evil; hence, the prophet or other persons who administer rebuke, are hated. TRINITY \ Evangelical United Brethren \ Madison at Ninth John E. Chambers, minister 9:15 a.m., Sunday school; Chalmer Bollenbacher, general superintendent. Our Pilgrim Fathers established the church in America immediately upon arrival. We need to realize our privileges today—attend Sunday school regularly., 10:30 a.m., morning worship. Sermon by the minister: “Beware, that thou forget not.” Harold Mumma is organist and Evangeline Embler will direct the choir in two anthems, “Psalm of Praise” by Chase; and “A Prayer of Thanksgiving” arranged by Krones. We invite you to share with us in our Thanksgiving worship. 6:30 p.m., junior Christian endeavor and youth fellowship. 7:811 p.m., evening service with the message by the minister: “More Than Conquerors." The Sunday school council will meet after the evening service.

V.ll. “Forasmuch therefore, ag your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat; ye have built house of hewen stones, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.” The rich and apparently the judges, took burdens or exactions of the poor, just as a prdsenlday racketeer demands money from his victims. Those who had becomq rich through unscrupulous methods were building fine houses and planting pleasant vineyards. Amos saw the coming captivity when all should be carried away under the dominion and subjection of the Assyrians. Here is foretold the judgment of unequal opportunity by the way of oppression. Some of the sins are enumerated in the following verse. V-13. “Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in their time; tor it is an evil time.” When such evil conditions prevail, the person who opposes prevalent wrongs accomplishes nothing, but rather endangers his own safety. • V. 14. “Seek good and not avil, that ye may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.” The zeal in pursuing the good should equal or excel the seal in pursuing evil, The false conception that God was with them should be a reality when seeking to do good. V. 15. “Hate the evil, and love the good; and establish judgment in the gate; it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” If justice be administered then there is hope of mercy from God. Go 4 steps in only when one jrfll do right at all costa. V.7. “For you yourselves know how ye ought to follow us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you." Here was a class not so much in need of an opportunity as not making an effort to use opportunity of service. Paul taught by example when he took care of his own expenses by following his trade as stated in the next verse. V. 9. “Not because we have not power; but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.’ Paul had a right to be supported but for their sakes he earned his livelihood. In the following verse Paul again points to the necessity of making an effort to work. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. 3.
