ECreooiecl fill ■ OQQkMCAU 1 I o« i L LesgoaAg ■ombmhhbmMHßßMV * Creamed Comments on the’Sun- J day School Lesson. The Way of ’ Christian Fellowship, I John 1:1-10. for Sunday. August 12. —Rev. D. l Carl Vader —.... John lived the longest of the disciples. and. in his last days, observed a lack of faith in Christ, as the professed followers were led astray in unduly emphasising work , this lessened the personal relations to Christ, so that Christian fellowship lost Us meaning. V. 1. “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have looked upon, and our own hands have handled, of the Word of life." John speaks with authority as haying first-hand knowledge of Christ, with whom he had closet fellowship. This fellowship made Christianity rea>!, and John wanted that those to whom he wrote should share in this fellowship. V. 2. “(For the life was manifested, and We have seen it and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested unto US.)” Here. John strengthens his t statement regarding Christian fellowship by including as witnesses the other disciples by the use of the word "us.’’ V, 3. “That which we have seen and heard,- we declare unto you, tbat ye also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with tile Father, and with his. Son, Jesus Christ.” John, called the beloved disciple, does not scold, but simply tells his experience. Through fellowship with Christ. God when he had fellowship with Christ. By witnessing to one’s Christian experience, others are won to Christ. V. 4. “ nAhtsedeCM FWYPiouiT V. 4. “And these things write we i unto you that your joy may be full.” There is a happy experience when real Christian fellowship is shared. Vr*r-"Thts then is the message’ which we have heard of him, and declare unto you. that God Is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” j Goodness, beauty, truth and love I characterise God. Where, these are. Go 4 is; but on the other hand, the absence of these qualities is evi1 dence of darkness. The highest 1 form of fellowship is in the united reach with others for these qualities 8f God. Here is the value of the ! church. V. 6. “If we say we have fellow- ■ ship with him. and walk in dark-■ ness, we lie,’ and do not truth.”. Here is the measure of a Christian. Light .and darkness do not mix. Where God is, there is light, and,] where (God“is not. there is dark-. , ness. Every step of the way one’ need* to be on his guard and always seek to know the truth J and to ever seek to know the will I of God- “He that doeth the will; of God shall know.” V. 7. “But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Here is a condition of a great promise. Our walk is ore iporjant than our talk To walk calls for action. Every one must do something, but. what he does and why he does it, is fund-j amental; this calls for honesty with the truth. There is no such thj'ftg | as a half truth. When consistently walking with God. the result is j Christian fellowship, and a perfect transformation of character.

V. 8. “If we say »« have no sin. we deceive ourselves and the ttutb is not in us.“ This describes a sinner before he has reprented. In the light of all scripture, the difference between the non-Chrislian and the Christian is in the fact that the Christian is a sinner saved by grace. It would be a reflection for < a Christian to allow willful sinning 1 in his life; however, because he is immature, not being perfect In memory, judgment and reason, a Christian may make mistakes that like sins and he humbly prays the Lord's prayer of forgiveness. The following verses teach this. —Based on copyright outlines 1 produced by the Division of Christian Education. National Council of ■ the Churches of Christ in the U.S - A., and used by permission. Discussion Questions on the Sunday School lesson. The Way of Christian Fellowship, for Sunday. 1 August. 1. How does a Christian drift and • become unfaithful? ’ 2. What constitutes Christian fellowship? L_..-—— 3. What is the value of Christian - fellowship? 4. What is it to walk in the light? 5. What is the difference between sins and wilful mistakes in conduct? Clericus says: ’’Not to be able to discern between good and evil is the sure way not to have fellow-j ship with God. We must be conscious of our sins if we expect God's forgiveness." Lesson prayer: ft is so easy to do nothing aud just to drift; we pray that we may put ourselves in relation with good people and with God that we will want to do worthwhile things. Grant that we shall 1 ever reach for noble qualities of character, keeping our eyes fixed on the life and teachings of Christ. Forgive our short-ctraiings, all expressions of an imature personality. The Contented Life ■ • thmtlrr. ptwpestdng utte of the greatest minds in all ttme.set forth these nine essentials to a full-and j contented life: Health enough to make work a pleasure. - Wealth enough to support your needs. _ Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until ’ some good is accomplished. 4- Charity enough to see some good ' in your neighbor. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real the ith Ings ot uod., ~ ■ 'Ygs.lT~ ■ | Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

Yellow Creek Lake Camp Meeting started Friday and will continue until Friday Aug. 10th. Book Review New Testament Christianity, Phillips. McMillian Co., portrays | deep roots of Christianity which appeal to the average faith-seeking people and offers a challenge of a great cause for such faith. The challenge is portrayed in the light of the angels* view. Our Preacher Says: Often we wonder why our prayers are not answered. It may be they are answered “No” instead of “Yes." One needs to keep in mind ,| two facts relative to prayer: One is that often we do not know what is best and so our asking is amiss; the other thing to remember is that we need to trust God to do what is best. Much emphasis needs to be placed on perfect timt "?ir God and the necessity of attuning our prayer life to the will of |God by simple faith. As a violinist takes time to tune his instrument, so the Christian must take time to tune his life to God's wilt. SERMONOGRAMS Live for the best till you know what is better. It is better to say. "This one thing J do," than to say. “These forty things I dabble in.” Even our critics may have something to say that is worth listen- ■ ing to. People who live on compliments should-diet, There is a sinless anger. It is righteous indignation. Righteousness is the preparation for peace. Pride makes a man unsatisfied even when he reaches the top. Peace is an inner orderliness. All things that betray God betray man. One needs to make sacrifice for fellowship. Only through discipline can one know perfect happiness The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity; but ■to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.—John Buchan. The trouble with a lot of people who try to lead a model life is you know they’re only posing. Tact- is <the ability to hammer home a point without hitting your' neighbor on the thumb.

We were created with an urge for association with others. Watch a little child when another little child approaches; he* forgets all else and whnts to get to him. This urge is seen in the growing child. Parents can not easily keep their children from playing with the neighbor's children. This urge continues in the adult; having been the freedom of choice, it is natural to be associated with others, the associations being of our own
