Creamed Comments on the Sun day School Lesson, We Belong to a Great Company, Hebrews 11:22-40: 12:1-2, for Sunday, July 22. What faith is and what faith does is illustrated by a long line of yitnesses which make up the family of Gda. These witnesses <mv«T ail of history, and are continuing now. In the beginning. ,God revealed such truth that could be comprehended by the people of that time; bat some acted and accepted revealed ,truth and it was credited to them as faith. In the eleventh chapter of Hebrews are records of the works of faith by the leading Old Testament men and women, thaf serve as an example to those of later days. The words “By faith” are used over and over. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith —- the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Then the works of faith follow by naming men and women who showed their faith by their works. We are saved by faith, we walk by faith, we live by faith and it in our privlege to die bv fnlth. Faith plays such an important part in our life, that many examples of faith serve to (increase * our faith, for. without faith, it is impossible to please God. V. 32. “And what more shall I say* For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and of Barak, and of Samson and of Japihae; of David also, and of Samuel and of the prophets." In the preceding verses, the author told pf the work wrought by faith of the pioneer* of religion; and then it seems he thought of more that ought to be added. ■ • j In the following three verses some of their‘works are named: . .‘.‘Who through faith subdued kingdpjMi... without .righteousiifsk obPaiued promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the vi1 oleiue of fires, escaped the edge 1 of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in figW’Wffied fliyht o* the aliens. 'Wombn received their dead raised to life again; and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.” These facts are confirmed by Bible history which needs to be studied at this point. z r V. 36. “And others had trial of cruel mockiilgs and scourgings, yea. moreover of bonds and imprisonment.” Not only did.the Old Testament leaders endure these persecutions because of their faith, hut these were the experiences of the early New Testament Christians. Thus the great company was being embraced by a common tie. V. 37. “They were stoned, they 1 were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins, and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted. tormented.” The author of the Hebrews catalogued all persecutions, some of which were legalized — such as stoning to death for certain offences. It is hard to comprehend how’ our forefathers suffered because of their faith; in' comparison, we are having an easy ; time living the Christian life. But in the 1 oppressed nations, histm-y! is being reheated. F V. 38. "(Of whom the world is not worthy) "they wandered In deserts. they wandered in mountains i and in dens and caves of the earth.” Those for their faith were hunted and run down. Cave life was a common experience. But by faith, they were above the world in character so the world was not

worthy of them. V. 39. “And all these having obtained a good report through faith, received hot the promise;" God certified acceptance of them. The “promise" had its realization in Christ. V. 40. "God having provided some belter thing for us. that they without us should not be made perfect;’’ Here is suggested the marvelous truth that God’s people in all dispensations are one. V.l. “Wherefore seeing we also are encompassed by so great a cloud of witnesses, let lis lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so eaaily beset us. and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Life is like a trace, being envisioned by Christian witnesses of all times. Christ, the angels, and all loved ones in heaven, are interested in our making a good record We would nPt ! disappoint them: this spnrs us on to do our best.

He is concerned about the social conditions which are deter-' mining the destiny of the nations. He believes his gospel of the kingdom has in it a healing balm for social sores.
