Karaaafl Arms Are Not Enough However well equpiped with the arms that Selene# can now devise y and fe loyal production Um can : supply, no army can long succeed in onr day without the bulwark y of spiritual values; even as no nation ean long endure without a moral code, spiritual fibre, and the wisdom and integrity derived from faith In a righteous God. We of the Armed Forces sense the responsibility pitted upon us by our country in counting us worthy to bear arms in her defense. We are grateful for the material equipment with which we are provided. But, we are also grateful that she has been mindful to arm us as well •with a moral M*d Spiritual heritage, stemming from the faith of our fathers. We are grateful for everv convocation of spiritually* minded dtisens-every ihsMflM I* church, synagogue, cathedral, and humble home—which raises prayer to God in our behalf, tor our fight is your fight, and only together can we succeed—-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. It is in pardoning that we ate pardoned.

ICreamectfn I Comments on aa .Ofl kLessonASSj Jesus being loyal to the established religion of his day, made hit way to the passover feast Which was attended by all loyal Jews. Being the Son of God. he had profound respect for the house of God ahd he could not tolerate commercialising religion, so he commanded a cleansing of the temple. ' VAt. "And the Jews* passover was at head, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem?’ Religious rituals and eremonies have their place as a means of spiritual help. The pawover provided a service tor spiri tual expression. V. 14. “And found in the temple those that cold oxen aad sheep and doves, hud the changers of money sitting." Sacrificial offer ings had to be provided; it was the manner in which this was done that needed correction. Two things were wrong; the transactions took place ih the temple court and the trade wee carried on tor profit. V. 15. “And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxeh; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables.” The cord was a symbol Os authority. His forceful character was so effective that all discordant elements sank out of sight . V.HL “And said unto them that ibid doves, Take these things hence; make not my tather'shrmse an house of merchandise.” Jesus would not compromise with evil; his program called for clean, honest pure living. Jesus taught by deeds as well as by words. V. 17. "And his disciples remembered thmat it was written. The seal of thy house has eaten me up.” Here was the fulfillment of Psalm 8019. When a Christian is tremendously in earnest evil forces will flee. The Christian who is only half in earnest has a hard time to live the Christian lite. V.1%. “Then answered the Jews, and said untb him. What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?” When truth Is net clearly perceived absorb questions are often asked. The Jews were disturbed, hot angered as they were later: they

wanted evidence Os Christ’s authority. V. 19. “Jesus answered and said untb them, Destroy the temple and jin three days I will raise it up." The Jews Were incapable of getting the deeper significance of Jesus’ word; they were thinking only in terms of the temple of worship. Nevertheless, Jesus proclaimed his authority in stating what he would do in rebuilding the temple, which was the main point. V. 20. “Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was the temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?” Here was a substantial building requiring much time and labor in its erecting. It seemed unreasonable that, the same'work could be done In of accepting only such truth as can three days. This is the old story be based" on reason. - - V. 21. “But he, spakfe of the temple of his body.” Adam Clarke thinks Jesus might have pointed to his body when he used the word "temple.” It was not uncommon to use this word thus. V. 22. “When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered teat be bit eeid this unto them; and they believed the scripturee and the word which Jesus had said.” Remember, John wrote his gospel that all people would believe on Jesus, and here is one of his strong affirmations of this fact. V. 23. “Now when he was In Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed In his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.” These miracles were not recorded as were those performed in Galilee. Neither was jmuch written concerning those who professed to believe on hist now. — V.!4. "But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men.” They might well believe in him, but he could not believe in them. He knew their hearts and also that they were not worthy of his confidence. It is a solemn thought when one wonders whether God can trust him. The above fought is made clear in the ioilowine vense. We must be trtre to him it we want to be good witnesses. ' -- , —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the V. 8.
