Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson. Deliverance and Return. Isaiah 45:1-4; 45:13; Ezra 1:1-7, for Sunday, August 28. The Israelites, having been carried. away into captivity, were quite well rooted in the social and economic life of Babylon when Cyrus the king of Persia conquered the people* of the surrounding nations. However, God bad a purpose revealed to Cyrus through whom that- purpose was carried out. Israel was God's people that had again and again forgotten him. They were purged by the captivity and the time was ripe now to give them another chance. V.l. "Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus whose right hand I have holden. to subdue nations before him. and I will loose the loins of kings to open before him the two-leaved gates; the gates shall not be shut” Here God himself is directly addressing Cyrus. By the word “anointed” God is consecrating Cyrus. In the previous verse, God calle him his shepherd. Cyrus was not a worshiper of God but he was kindly disposed and God could use him. and so God grasped him (“I have holden him' ). To fooserf- the loins of kings was to disarm them. Nations were to be subdued by Cyrus perfectly as the gates of the city would not be closed. V. 2. “1 will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight I will break to pieces of the gates of brass and cut asunder the bars of iron. The strongest fortifications could not withhold the onward match of Cyrus under God. With God all things are possible. V. 3. “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that 1, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” These surrounding nations had bidden the bounty secured by their conquests. Nothing is hiden from God and he is known by revelations, this being one of them. The most important knowledge is to know God. V.L “For Jacob my’ servant’s sake and Israel mine elect I have even called thee by thy name: I have aurnamed thee, though hast not known me.” The surnames were the anointed and shepherd. These are names of divine meaning; it was Cyrus’ appeal to live up to God's ideals. Here is a sug-

geation for us. V.t3. "I have raised him up to righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build tuy City and he ehall let go my capt tlves not for price or reward, saith • the Lord of hosts.” Here la staked God's divine purpose. V.l. "Now in the first year of ’ Cyrus, the king of Persia, that 1 the word of the Lord by the 1 mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord strired up the spir ' it of Cyrus, king of Persia, that ’ he made a proclamation through 1 throughout all his kingdom and ’ put it also in writing." Jeremiah, 1 during the seventy years in exile ’ with captured Israel, prophesied 1 thte ‘day of deliverance which 1 came in 538 B.C. We do well to ’ heed the voice of God. 1 V. 2. “Thus saith Cyrus the king • of Persia. The Lord God of heaven ’ hath given me all the kingdoms ' of the earth; and he hath charged me to build a house at Jerusalem, 1 which is is Judah,” Cyrus adjusted ’ his affairs in accordance with the divine will, although he was not one of God’s specially chosen people. His character Is seen in his voluntarily yielding to God. V. 3. “Who is there among you Os all the people? His God be with him. and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (he is the God) which is in Jerusalem.” There was no effort to change God’s plans. God must be worshiped and Tie must needs have a place of worship that commands attention. V. 4. “And whosoever remains in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold and with goods, beside the free will offering for the house of the Lord that is in Jerusalem.” Cyrus calls for help from the heathen that God's purpose may be carried out. V. 5. "Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin. and the priests and the Levites with all them whose spirit God. had raised, to go up to build the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem." Here is suggested that there were ten lost tribes of Israel. But a remnant is sufficient. V. 6. “And**H they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods and with beasts, and with precious things, beside 1 all that was willingly offered.” God's will was done. —The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. —Based on copyrighted outlines ' produced by the division of Christian education, national council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A. and used by permission.

Protestant leaders opposed it as too much like universal military training, even after amendment. Testimony before a senate committee was offered by eight Protestants. Eight Negro Methodist churches in and near New York city have been invited to join the (white) New York East conference.

P. A. Sorokin, world-famed sociologist of Harvard, has joined the voices of those who protest against current attitudes on sex. He protested against the idea that certain sex habits are right because they are common. He says, "Sexual behavior, like any other kind, must be tested tor rightness and wrongness by your own conscience. Will it harm your community. your family, you yourself? Then it is wrong and you cannot make it right by proving that 50 percent of the population does likewise.” Sorokin believes that our sexual immorality has a direct relation to the rise in the rate of crime, suicide, juvenile delinquency, and insanity. iMictMston <*l JOueMlons asl Discussion questions on the Sunday school lesson.
