I Ot& I Here is a lesson for those who have a longing to return to God. There were some among the captives that never forgot their home, and Gad. Ab been by the physical •yea. the Israelites as captives Ot Babyton. were in a hopeless condition. They would welcome a voice that would give assurance of better days, fa their spiritual needs, Isaiah was welcomed with his message «t hope. V. 1. “Ho. every one that thlrttetth. come ye to the waters, and he that hath no nouey; come ye, buy. and eat; yea, come, boy wine and milk without money and without price.” Here is a general statement by which the pophet offers the free and abnndhnt resources of Go<'for the satisfaction pt human needs; here is announced the tteeness FT Gods spiritual Messings. V,2. Wherefore do ye, spend money for that which ta not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and oat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight ttaelf in fataees.” Striving tor those things that hare. no permanent i| foolish.'.Tito world offer* only temporary pleasures and they fail to satisfy the Beep longings of the soul. God’s grace is promised to those who voluntarily and earnestly seek iL l ; V. 3. '‘lncline your ear. and come unto mo; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make,an everlasting covenant with yon, oven the sure mercies of David.” To hear well requires sincere faith in God. Here the covenant differs from that made with Israel many years before in that ft is not formal but an inner relationship with God - with maa> “I will” -absorbed into God's "I will” which U as sire as the mercies of David. This is prophetic of Christ’s covenant of atonement. The witness to this covenant is David in his experience as seen in the nb«t' verse. t. 5. “Behold/thou shalt call a nation that thou knowesfnot, and . , J./ ——

Our Preacher Says; Too often ire see ' "through a glass darkly.” Things appear la wroag perspective. We find oarselves putting second things first and eeelag things at haad <6 targe and those at a distance as small, without true regard foe theft intrinsic worth. That was the fault with “the rich fool” in our Lord's parable, and It Is the fault of everr one who lays up treasures on earth and Is not rich towards God. Lesson Prsyors We are grateful that we have , been created with a thirxt for , God; we would find our Lord who offers the waler ot life so that never again will we thirst. Grant that the Lord shall be a Yell ot water within us and that out ot our lives will flow streams of eternal life. CLERICUS SAYS: “A loving Christian Is the most convincing proof ot a loving Father. Mort ot ns were persuaded to belive on Jesus by others *'hb share in it and express It. Since Tesus has comb, has lived among men, has wrought and taught, and most of all. has suffered and died for our sins, we are convinced that God Is love” To weaken is to be defeated.

nations that know not thoo shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God. and for the Holy One Israel; for bo bath glorified thee.” This prophbOby has been fulfilled tn the acceptance by the GentUb nations of the Jewish MbMiah. YA "Seek the Lord While Be may be touM, call ye upon Mm while he is near.' ’Here are two important facta: God may bo found, and he is near; therefore, be should be sought and oailed on. V.». "Let the wicked forsake Ms way, and the uartghtoona man Ms thoughts; and tot him return th the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon." Here is the picture of a penitent; he wW turn from ata amt be wttl forsake wrong doing. Bit ho wm also go to the roots on forsaking his thought* that his heart and mind will be cleaned tram all varighteousness. V.B. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are year ways my waya, saith the Lord.” This verse retort primarily to pardon. For instance, when we are unjustly treated, Wo are prone to take vengeance; dr Wo may think ourselves Justified At aaying, "I will forgive but I can’t forget." God is not like that. V. 9. ‘For as the, heavOM are higher than Uta earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts tbsp your thoughts.” God’s purposes surpass anything . man could plan or 'possibly think. It ill' |ecomes us I to question God’s will. / : J Ya. lft» IL “For as the rata cometh down, and the snow horn heaven, and retarneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it ‘ bring forth annd bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth out of my mouth It shall not return unto mo void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, add it shall prosper In the thing whereto I sent IL’ "There ft a certainty .In the purpose of God in the regular processes of nature, so there Is a certainty in the mental,and spiritual operation of God's word as ft produces thoughts and motives in the mind ,bH heart.

Today the Church is carrying a heavy load. Since our public schools and state colleges give a small place for Christian education, there ia thrown back on the shoulders of the Church this task. Scientific rakearch and accomplishments have placed man rather than God at the center ot lite and so God is being forgotten. Because of the increased demands

Four of the young men already are in a seminary at Pusan. Seoul wears an almost unbelievable “new look” these days. Not only has nature repaired many of the scats of war. but a determined people (with much wherewithal supplied by their allies) are rebuilding at an astonishing rate. Even when looking out the rear windows ot rehabilitated buildings, one no longer sees desolate areas ot rubble. Two-and three-story buildings are going tip along new ly mapped roads, while most of the tragically picturesque ruins have been removed or are being restored.
