Discussion questions on the Sunday school lesson. Judgment Comes to Israel, for Sunday, June >7, 1. What happens in the lite of an Individual or a nation that does not rect»<ni«e the true God? 2. Why can one not be neutral in relation to God? 3. Why did the prophets not give up in their pronouncements against Sin? ' 4. in what ways are those who forget God made captives today? S. What are our national sins that need denouncing? Lesson Prsyen Lesson prayer: Give ns a keen sense of what it is to disobey thee in the very smallest way. such as not to have the spirit of Christ for such are not God's children. Forbid that there should be lurking in the mind the least bit es hatred, ter such are called murderers. Grant that we may be so watchful and prayerful that not the U»Mt evil in thought, desire, or motive be permitted. Perhaps influenced by the example of the united Nations, both houses of congress have voted to set aside a room in the national capital for meditation and prayer. It will bo test off the main rotunda. almost directly under the dome. It is good to learn that federal legislators will have such a room available. BURK ELEVATOR Grain.

' I T Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Judgment Comes to Israel, Il Kings 17:5-18, for Sunday, June 27. By a flow process, first, si® tn a mild form, followed by more progounced sins over a period of two centuries, during the wieked reign of twenty kings, brought disaster aa God's judgment in the Assyrian captivity of Israel. V.|. “Then Che king of Syria came up throughout all the land, and went up Samaria, and besieged it three years," Several sieges against Israel had occurred before; Israel’s alliance with Egypt caused the Assyrians to render a death blow. ° V. 6. “Aad the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Sssyria took Samaria, and carried away Into Assyria, and placed them In Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the city pt the Medes." Those carried away numbered 27.280. Strangers were brought and by mixed marriages the Samari- ' tans were produced, a people despised by the Jews, although the Samaritans had taken on some erf the aspects of the tonne religion of Israel. V,7. “For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the ; hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods." Here the author begins the recital of the tund*ment*l causes of the captivity — departure from the • Lord and the worship of other gods, together with the wicked deeds which were done In connection with such worship. The deliverance out of Egypt into the promised land (was the great basic fact of the national history of Israel. It Is a grievous mistake to forget the religious founders of a nationV.B. “And walked statutes of the heathen, whom the Lord , cast out from before the children of Israel/and of the kings of te» reel, which they had made.” The subject of this verse is statutes which consisted of the ordinances of Jeroboam concerning bis counterfeit religion; also the statutes pt Ahab and Jezebel which introduced Baal worship produced a great religious declension. The phrase “Jeroboam who made Is- > reel to sin” was often spoken by • the prophets. The national sins - .■'■.J'.'.'.lA T ’ Our Preacher Safi; A belief in God involves faith In God’s purpose. Human aspiration and striving follow faith In God, and in them are profound spiritual values. When one believes hard in God, bis Aspirations and strivings ' increase, and in them there is Im- ' parted a spiritual power never seen in a plodder, one half in earnest. God is so greatly concerned in man's welfare that ail necessary plans have been made for him. An alignment with God makes possible God’s purpose being evolved in man. Do You Know: 1. What two gospels were written by Paul's assistants? 2. To what great leader did the Txrfd say, "Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount”? 3. Who the wicked daughter of the wicked Jezebel? 4. What country had a king of whom it was said that he knew not Joseph? 5. Os whom vasit said. “In

11 .f "hi'T-.l'i ill had a small beginning. Sin it not FejMHited of and pardoned grows V. 9. "And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God. and they built them high places In all their cities, from the tower ot the watchmen to the fenced etttos." They concealed ' the true nature ot Jehovah by ar- ’ bltrary perversions of the word of God expreseed in the building of alters In high places, and worship 1 in ways of their own Invention. [ In doing thia. Israel both corrupted its own faith and eeased to bear a true testimony ot God. ’ V.lO. “And they set them up im--1 ages and groves in every high hill and under every green tree.” Ido- ■ latere preferred a prominent ■ height and a nhndy gro*® for their ' equipment. The high places for 1 Baal wornhip was supplemented ’ by sinful orgiee hidden in the - shadow of the groves. Sin luriu in ‘ dark places. V.U.- “And there they burned ' incense in all the high places, as ' did the heathen whom the Lord ’ carried away before them; and 1 wrought wicked things to provoke ; the Lord to anger." Often wicked things were wrought in the wor- ' ship of heathen gods in the high 1 places, even including the burning * of their sons and daughters in so- ' called sacrifices. * V. 12. “For they served idols, ’ whereof the Lord had said unto 1 them, Ye shall not do this thing,’’ Warnings had been ample and oft * repeated, but had not been heeded. 1 V. 13 “Yet the Lord testified 1 against Israel, and against Judah, ‘ by all the prophets and by all the * seers, saying. Turn ye from your * evil ways, and keep my command- ’ meats, and my statutes, according t to all the tew which 1 command- * nd your fathers, that did not be- ’ IJeve in the Lord their God. There was a long line of prophets that ' denounced the sins of Israel, but ' a constant refusal to hear them ' caused a hardening of their hearts. It is an awful thing for a sinner to reject God's word, for in w 4oing he seals his own doom. "See the following verse. V.lB. “Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out ot his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Jud--1 ah only.” Israel had forfeited their right to the promised land, and God allowed the Assyrians to take them away. God’s judgment is worked out through the processes of sin. —Based on copyrighted outlines 1 produced by the Division of Chris- ' tian Education, National Council ’ of the Churches of Christ in the ' V.

I CLERICUS SAYS: Clericus says: "God has a right to expect obedience on the part of people. It is not for us to questio nthe why of God’s commands. The fact that God has spoken should be enough to insure our obedience forever. His ways are higher than our ways, and his thoughts than our thoughts, even as the heavens are higher than the earth.”
