I . Oe L*£**2*AS Creamed Comments on, the Sunday School Lesaln. Jesus is the Son of Goji, Hebrews 1:1-3; 2:1-4; 6:1-8. for Sunday, July 8. , It is essential that one’s Christian faith be confirmed again, and again. But this calls’ for a realisation of God which 18“ fundamental. To really know God and experience iGod’s presence, power and love requires time, earnest effort, and believing without seeing. It one does not know; God as a great reality, then prayer is (utile, and claiming to be a Christian has little meaning. V. 1 “God who at sundry times, and in divers manners, spake in times past urto the fathers by the prophets.” The revelations of God as recorded In the Old Testament were simple, fragmontary and physically concieved. The Israelites were the chosen people through whom God began his revealing of himself. The prophets were especially chosen as God’s agents. V. 2. “Hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son. whom he hath appointed heir of all things by whom he hath created the worlds.” Jesus Is essentially the Son of God, but that we might know God better Jeans mus* become the Son of men. In hfs den th and resurection. we see Goa in Christ, a fact mentally conceived. Then, going a step forther. by faith, we perceive /esus as the supernatural one with God the Father In creation. V. 3. “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty above." (Glory is the expression of the combined attributes of God which Jesus exhibited to men. The image " of God is expressed in the personality of Jesus. Ail things are sustained becaiise*«t help by the power of the Lord. By the forgiveness of our sins and the cleansing of our | hearts, there is a spiritual consciousness of a work of the grace of God. When all the abov. tacts are personally accepted, one may perceive Jesus as ruling w||h God the Father, seeing ua with loving eyes. « « V._L ive ought to give the more earnest heed ti» the things which we have heard-, lest at any time we should let them slip." Without continual effort to know God. we fought him like the children of Israel and simply drift along. Here is the common great mistake today. V. 2. "For if the words spoken \y augela were steadfast, and ev**» trangression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;" The degree of one's light determines one’s responsibility. In view of ethfact. the light given us -by the Son is superior th the light given by angels because the Lord is above the angeis. The, Mosaic law was given through the mediation of. angels. See Dent. ,33:8; .Acas 7:38. V. 3. “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the U»rd and was confirmed to us by them that heard him.” The implication is that there is no escape if Christ is not accepted. To live .3**everinore. with death as simply the passageway, is the gift to man When we see life O|f7 the other side, we shall say, “Th‘> is great.” Saving faith in the

must be a reality here and now-. The author of them words had the necessary faith, because he believed what had been told him about Christ. The is the record of what others knew. V. 4. “God also bearing them witness, both with algae and wonder*, and with divers miracle*, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will." The author knew about the miracles performed by Christ and hi* dteciples, which confirmed his faith. By dwelling on the wonders of God everywhere, our faith In God is strengthened. God has give*.us a mind to be used in thoughts of him and his blessings to us. V.l. “Therefore leaving the prin- : ciples of the doctrine of CMd*L : us go on to perfection; not laying I again the foundation of repentance - from dead Works and of faith toward God.” By using Christian faith, one goes on toward matur- ' One ou Kbt hot to be starting 1 tne Christian life over and over. ' In the foilowing verses are listed l other facts and experiences which were good at th > beginning of our I life of faith and should be consicL - ered rudiments of frith; just as i the alphabet ha 4 to be learned in ! order to read, or the multtplica- ■ tion table had to be committed to enable us to proceed in mathei niatics.

I, . ~ CLERICUS SAYS: ' Clericus: “Not all faith is saving faith, for it is written. ‘The devils believe and tremble.' Saving faith is produced by contact with ' God in which our wills agree with ’ God's will, moment by moment. It I is a matter of complete agreement with God. Likewise, a man is lost spiritually when agreeing with the evil one. So it is written of Anan- ■ ias who lied about his offering, | ‘Why hast thou agreed with tbs J' devil to do this?" Do Yow Know: II 1. Who said “Eternal vigilance ' is the price of liberty'*?”* ■ I 2. Who said “The strength of ■ a country Ts the strength of its i religious convictions"? s 3. Who said “He serves his < party best who serves the country I best"? \ I > ♦. Who said “The perpetuity of | this nation depends upon the re- , ligious training of the young”? , 5. Who said "I only regret that t I have but one life to lose for my , I country”? Lesson Prayer; II »l Lesson prayer: We pray for the necessary guidance to know Thee. - 0 God. We are grateful for Thy <’ word and for the privilege of pray- . er, and for the association with . others who know Thee.

IsllK The Highest Patriotism Strength does not consist of bulging one’s muscles, breathing antagonisms and .shouting threats. All the great cultures of the world speak of strength as greatest when characterized by gentleness and patience, for great weight is added to strength when it is slow to anger. This is much nearer the heart of America's greatest concepts of patriotism than rashness or belligerence, for the men in our history revered most are those who themselves symbolized such strength — Washington with his concern for friend and foe alike, and Lincoln "with charity for all, with mgjice towards none.” In other words, that nation and that individual that is strong is Christ-controlled. True patriotism and Christianity are so closely related as to be almost identical. Our founding fathers thought these facts were true as religion was the basis of the social and educational life as well as the cornerstone of our goWftmment. -The Rev. D. Carl Yoder.

1 tU Q_ J A bill to ban the publication, sale and distribution to minors of comic books devoted to “crime,horror, physical torture, brutality or illicit sex” was passed by the General Assembly of Kentucky. Church World Service shipped more than 41.000 tons of food, clothing, medicines and other relief supplies valued at about $24,750,000 to needy areas overseas last year. Crime costs the United States 114.00 for every dollar given to churches, according to F. B. I. director. J. Edgar Hoover. The cost of crime is almost S2O billion annually. ’However? during the first six months 1955 there was a downturn in the national crime rate for the first time in seven years. Ten- U. S. and Canadian Mennonites havd set up a corporation to help their Latin-American fellow church members in industry and agriculturei~s'wo projects in Paraguay — improving the dairy and leather industries — are already under .way. Chairman of the group of businessmen, the Mennonite Economic Development Associates. is E. J. Peters of Wasco, California. Despite offers by communists of gifts, money, and special holidays, less than 5 per cent of qualified young people have registered for youth dedication ceremonies in East Germany this spring. The ceremonies, held when youth complete primary school at 14, are an atheistic counterpart of Christian confirmation and first communion rites. Both the Evangelical and ißoman Catholic churches have forbitten their members to take part in or encourage the communist rite. Communist leaders attributed the failure of last year’s dedication ceremonies to the opposition of the churches. Evangelist Billy Graham will change his technique when he goes to New York City a year from now for a six- to elght-week evangelistic campaign. He will not attempt to do all the preaching himself but will bring six or seven clergymen from various parts of the world, including at least one or- two from Africa. This is an attempt to reach the "diversity of national groups living in New York as In a miniature United Nations.” Patriotism is the vital condition of natiqnal permanence. — Curtis:
