on Creamed Comments tm the Sunday 'School Lesson, Strength Through Trial, James 1:2-13, for Sunday. August 26.—The Rev. 1). Cart Yoder. James, the head of the JerusalemChristian Church, a brother of our Lord, wrote his epistle or letter to the discouraged Christian*, pointing out the difficulties they had to meet, with ways and means to meet them. God wanted the followers of the Lord to be strong which called for testings: in these testings, faith and prayer were commended. V. 2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations." Joy is one mark of a Christian. There i* away to get joy out of trials. This requires study, hence this epistle. V. 3. “Knowing this that the trying of youth faith requires patience. Here is taught the right attitude, endurance and Work in he right direction. V. 4. "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be per feet and entire and wanting nothing.” The more patience in trial, the more perfect is character. This is illustrated by many patient suftor*. * —* ■- - ilK yj~ - . ■■— V. 6. “But if any of* you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraldeth not; and It shall, be given him " Here is an exhortation to pray, for prayer is the contact with God and furnishes a channel through which God by his spirit moves into the Intellect; some times the needed wisdom comes by suggestions, which. If followed, point in the right direction. V. 6. “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, he that wavereth is like a wave ot the sea ! driven with the wind and tossed.' Here is taught a total commitment to God’s will with an unyielding confidence In God and lit His word. It is believing without seeing. Vs. ?"£ “For "let noT rfffian think that he shall recgive any thing from the Lord: A double-mind-ed man is unstable in all his ways.” If one aims at nothing, that is what Ife WllTfcet. One can not make two opposite choices at the same i time: to try it is to be doublei minded. V. 9. “Let the brother in low degree rejoice in that he is exalted.” Let no one bog down because of discontent or financial discouragement. i V. 10. “But the rich in that he made low; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.” Losing riches may open the yes ( to the nothingness of what has i bsen held dear. Earthly riches fade j i into nothingness when the light of ■ God’s truth shines upon them. This thought is expressed in the following terse. V. 12. “Blessed is'the man that endureth temptation for when he! is tried, he shall receive the crown' of life, which the land hath prom t ised to tljem that love him." When i one keeps before him high and worthy goal, he will endure hard tests. It is good to live in health and enjoy a happy service, but that is only survival: to have in mind a life beyond that spent in this world, enjoying God s heavenly' program — that is the great goal. Vs. 13. 14. “Let no man say when he is tempted. I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted of evil, neither tbnipeth he anyfean: But every man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lusts and enticed.” God allows occasions where evil operates and gives every

to have freedom to choose, would make man an automotan. In the midst of temptation, a Christian will say with Christ, “1 do always those things that please God.” V. 15 "Then when lus hath conceived. it bringeth forth sin: and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death.” Here is a disappointing end, and not the goal any would choose. It is in wroug choices that sin arises, and the end of sin is death. Spiritual death has an indescribable meaning. V*. 16. 17. “Do not err my beloved brethren. Evei'y good gift and every perfect gift is from above anw cometh own from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning.” Stability 1* one characteristic of God and this same quality ought to be seen in his children. V. 18. “Os his will begat he us with the word of truth that We' should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.” When one perceives that God expects great things from us in character and service, there arises a most worthy and forcefiil appeal to straighten up and be at one’s best. —<Basdd on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council; of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. Important Steps Taken In Race Relations The General Conference at Minneapolis declared that "there must be no place in The Methodist Church for discrimination or enforced segregation" and recommended that such practice be abolished with “reasonable speed." nient, which will be submitted to It adopted a constitutional amendevery annual conference in the United States and overseas, permitting gradual dissolution of the Central (Negro) Jurisdictional. H , to ‘ Rl voting membership of ail the annual conferences, the amendment would provide a voluntary procedure whereby Negro members could be absorbed, by mutual consent At local church, annual conference or jurisdictional level. In the meantime, the conference created a 70-member commission to Study the church's jurisdictional system, with special attention to the problem of existing racial segregation. The group will report its findings and recommendations in • 1960 . CHURCH FORUM How may one khow the will of God? j George Mueller atisWer this question as .follows: “In the first place, j one must empty his mind. His way of thinking must suri'ender. This | requires a determined effort and a deep desire to know the will of God. Thus, with an open mind, one i will find suggestions and some- ; times a clear revelation of the will Bf God. If Otie is in earliest, plenty of time will be taken to search the scriptures. Then there may be circumstances and providential events that clear the way. Often things happen that can be best explained by the fact that God has a great 1 purpose in what has happened Prayer is a supreme requisite in knownihg God's will. Here again, one must take time and learn to listen for a still small voice, a deep inward impression that can be only explained by . a manifestation of God on the mind it is not uncommon that conversation with friends will' point in the right direction.

Oilr Preachtf S<W •‘it’s a way of taking a Mvittg” motive is hot Christian but commerical. The higher motive looks on life as a gift of God'to be used in fate service, the needs of others are considered and the work chosen is for human welfare. To accomplish the most and the best service, one needs to know himself, his natural ability, and. having discovered this, he will proceed to make the ability effective by education, practical training supported by Christian experience. In view of these facts, folks are divided into . two classes: those living for profit and those living for service. The common answer to the ques tion of another as to how he is getting along is an answer that portrays the fact that his success is in terms of money. Too often the phrase, “He is no good,” means less unsightly; and, not the least of gains, despair has given way to hope. One girl said to the surgeons who feared they might not be able to help her as they had hoped: “It is all right, becayse I am healed inside.” More than a million copies of the ; Gospel of John in seven tribal languages have been sent to Africa during the past six months by the i Pbcket Testament League. “Never ’ before have there been so many people in Africa who could read. . and never before has there been such a hunger for the Word of . God in printed form. This is a tremendous missionary challenge, and : it is one which must be met now," says a League official. I Do You > 1.
