I Comments Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson Malachi Calls to Righteous Living. — Malachi 3ills, for Sunday, September 18. Matechi. the last of the minor prophets emerges as one not publicly known, but with a burning message of reproof, ending with the offer of salvation. He chastises the priests for directing the use of offcast offerings to the Lord; he scorns the infidelity of the people In marrying women of low morals anil being untrue to their own wives; he denounces their failure to honor God with their gifts and offerings. And Ulen he presents a hopeful pieture as presented in the lesson. ' V.l. “Behold, 1 will send my messenger. and he ehall prepare the way before me; and the Lord, who ye shall seek, ehall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, who you delight in; behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hoeta.” God is speaking through the prophet, though an obscure man. He speaks through one who will tell the truth; it is the truth that condemns. Where truth is, there God is. In times oF wickedness it takes a daring man to speak the truth. Where ever there is wrong, one ought to speak out. The immediate consolation was that the Deliverer was on the way. There is salvation in hope which draws men to God. Christ declared that these words were fulfilled in John the Baptist. See Matthew 11:10. The messenger of the covenant is Christ, and he is identified with the Lord or God. The prophet pictures Israel as what they might be since as such they will delight in God. V. 2. “And who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like ful- < ler’s soap.” Here is announced the , judgments of God that will purify < and cleanse; from this event there 1 is no escaping. This truth is de- < scribed more in detail in the fol- - lowing verse. V. 4. “Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as In the days of ; old.” As in ancient times the people praised God and rejoiced in

him, so it will be again. Let k ever be known that God will not be defeated. V. 5. “And I will come near to you to judgment and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerer, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that suppress the hireling in his wages, the widows and the fatherless, and that turn away the stranger from his right and fear not me, saith the Lord of boats." Sin is known by its right name which calls for judgment, if not now, then later. V. 6. "For I am the Lord. I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed,” God does not change; man must change if he has sinned. V. 13. “Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say. What have we spoken so much against thee?” The einner tries to justify himself: V. 14. “Ye have said. It is vain to serve the Lord, and what profit is R that we have kept his ordinance. and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?” Here is the common excuse, namely, seeing how the wicked prosper and often the good suffer, what is there in religion. V. 16. “Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another and the Lord heard and hearkened it and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon his name.” Here is described the faithful. God te omniscent and knows each one’s record. Let it be known that it is a man’s record that commends or condemns, so' each one brings his own judgment upon him. V. 17. "And they shall be mine saith the Lord of hosts in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” Imagine God looking down on his own true children who shine as the stars of heaven. God of love will put his arms around his own. What an embrace! V.lB. "Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth him not.” God’s judgment will be seen as justice—heavenly reward for the righteous, condemnation for the unrighteous. —■■The Rev.

CLERICUS SAYS: Clericus says. “The ideas of sin . and judgment are still very temporal and physical as find it in most of the Old Testament. Reward and punishment were closely related to this life and its joys and woes. But what is of most importance is the fact that there comes a time of judgment when each man's record will stand out in bold relief and say "This is it.” Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We pray that our eyes may be open to the terrible fact of sin and its consequences. We praise God there is away out namely, through Christ who Is the Way, the Troth, and. the Life. Grant that in sincerity we may accept Him and be true to the end.
