Os Suffering '. —J—„*• Lesson for July 29, 1958 WHAT they did In ancient times without the mimeograph machine it is hard to imagine. If a modern church executive said to his secretary, “Miss Jones, take a letter; get it out to all the Christians in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithyriia," Miss Jones would hard- ME2I'"WBB ly know what to do without a type- F writer and carbon •■kv paper at the least. Wk Sha might won- \ 1 der, too, what w Christians in places as out-of- H the-way as Bithy- M nia might have in ■ ■■ common with Dr. Foreman Christians in Asia. However, when Simon Peter wrote his letter, he knew what all those Christians had in common. “Now for a little while (he meant, to the end of their lives) you may have to suffer various trials . . .” Trouble, trials, affliction, suffering — how many words there are for it, how many different kinds of it! St Peter's letter, written so long ago in Greek, now in English has a fresh contemporary look about it For trials and troubles are very ancient, but they are as new as the morning paper, they are as universal as the human race. Buffering and Prayer Christians in particular are bothered, when they think about suffering— especially their own or that of other Christians—in two ways. What is the use of suffering? and. Why should Christians suffer? These are the problems which Peter rolls fata one problem: What use is it to Christians, to suffer? He brushes off one kind of suffering—when one gets into trouble on account of one’s own wrongdoing. That is no puzzle. The puzzle comes when the good man, the Christian suffers perhaps because he is a Christian and for no other reason. One use of suffering Peter remembered from his own experien«vWhen Jjie wasjDkia.il in Jerusalem, tW churcTF held a prayer-meeting for him. Somewhat to their astonishment, their prayer was answered. Can we suppose that Peter himself had not been praying? His trouble, in short, had brought both himself and his friends to their knees; it had made them acutely aware of their need of God, and God in turn had made them know his power. Some people make fun of “foxhole religion"; but Isn’t it better than rone? Banuint Faith Faith that has never been tested ean be real; but only God knows it. Faith tested by suffering, when it endures, demonstrates how real it is. A missionary in India was trying to talk to an Indian about Christ. The Indian, who had just lost a wife he deeply loved, cried, “You lead a happy life, everything comes your way. If you had to go through what I go through, you’d not talk about faith!” Within a few months the missionary too lost his wife by death. At the funeral he stood by the casket and said: "If the man is here who told me I had never been through what he went through, I want to talk with him after this. Now maybe he will believe me.” To make the story short, the Indian did come to believe as a Christian. Everybody Has a Heartache Another use for suffering is that it can open the heart wide. It does not always do this. Suffering by itself has no magic. It is only when the sufferer reaches up in trust to God that anything like “magic” comes to pass. But when one who is afflicted trusts In God even then, he may not have his painphysical, mental or spiritual, what-' ever it be—removed; but he will find that he has joined the great fraternity of pain. His heart, hitherto in-turned, now turns outward. Be knows the password to every human heart For every one has his own hesrtache, and those unacquainted with grief find no entrance. Your own heartache is the key to the hearts of all men everywhere. Suffering "as a Christian”; this above all, as Peter says, is a mark of brotherhood throughout the world. The minister in Mississippi who loses his pastorate because he says a word of sympathy for wronged Negroes; the Indian who is stoned from the village well because her has turned from Mohammed to Christ; the Spanish Christian who, is not allowed to worship except la forms approved by the government; the Chinese Christian who is forced to march in a parade at the hour of church worship; do we not suffer with them? For they are our own. 10:80 r.m. Mornlug Worship, Sermon: “The Breath of Life” Baptismal Service Thursday, 1:30 p.m. Prayer meeting and youth fellowship

Meadows '■Thia is a fine day; suppose we take the car and go to Othertown for a visit”. . . and the church for that Sunday is left for itsdlf. This is truly a great temptation. You have six days and evenings every week to go pleasure riding. You know full well that the church should receive a little of your times on the Lord’s day. Then why not determine in your own mind that from now and you will go riding at the proper time, and that you will be present at church services at the proper time. The church rightly expects a fair portion of your time.
