Lesson for September 1955 IF SOME angel who had never heard of this earth, or some man from outer space living op some planet never invaded by sin. should get acquainted with the human race- for the first time, probably the thing that would astopish them most would be the human hankering for a fight. Here we are* clinging to 91' the surface of a R MR- . tiny planet, with Kb ; 4*»’ **J every reason to “RMf ■ flhang together; and yet to us who are born here and live here, fights J|| ape so common ** they seem quite foreman | natural. People quarrel at home, they get into arguments on the street, congressmen have to be restrained from fist-fights, business men are always .at one another’s throats, labor and management are on opposite sides, and there is even talk about the “battle of the sexes." As for a mat} other dag refused flatly to |ay*n cent of income tax, on the ground that he did no{ believe in war and* he knew that mptt of his tap? would be spent for war, past or prospective. Nobody wants the next war, but who really thinks it will not come? , , ——7—50 The Tongue Is a Fire i Why do men fight? Let us adrrih that there may be times when it is good to give battle. There have been evils, and there still are evils, which are not going to fold up and go away without a fight. But all the same, everybody with sens® admits that a vast amount ctf the fighting we do, whether in ou* homes or in politics or business or in the mighty struggles between nations, simply gets nobody anywhere. Most fights are a sheer waste of energy no matter who wins; and many fights (like our present and future wars) are suph that nobody wins. What starts all this mesa? One reason is, people talk too much. James, the saltj; saint who wrote the letter in New Testament, Which bears, bhname, put his 'finger" right ga it. The tongue, be says, is a little thing, but it’s wild. Nobody has ever quite tamed It The tongue 13 a fire, it can set the world on fire. It is a flame from helL Os course James does not mean that that all talk is wrong. He recognizes happily the good the tongue can do. But the tongue does start fights. How many family quarrels would have died a-borning if only he and she had done one single aimpie thing: shut up! How many quarrels had started, and how many made worse, just by people whel can’t keep their mouths shut! When Hitler was about to set the world on fire, he started by talk-? ing, long before his armies took the field. Wanting Too Muoh ' Plain-spoken Admiral Sims once told a feminine audience in Boston that they were the chief cause of. war. You have no limits to your wants, he said- Your husbands bavs to keep working harder to satisfy you, manufacturers have to keep looking farther and farther for the raw materials to make the things you want; and presently we get into quarrels with other nations that either want the same things or don’t want us to have-; them; and then you have the makings of a war. Admiral Sims mTght have been reading’ the letter of James. Wanting what we don’t have, wanting what we actually don't need, he says is a major son for quarrels and fights among,? men. Even among Christians, because he is writing to Christians. Was the Admiral right? The reader who feels like arguing with him will have to argue with the writer James no less. Cura fw Quarrels 7Z-2Z.S

James no doubt knew as well as the Apostle Paul did that it is not always possible to live at peacei with all men. But it is-possible to cut down the quarrels. The secret is to see things as God sees them, Let no one say this is impossible. We not only can, but if we are to survive we must have what James calls “wisdom from above.” What he means is nothing weird, out-of-this-world, impractical.' wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, forbearing, conciliatory, full of mercy and wholesomefruit, unambiguous, straightfor- . ward.”/ (Moffatt’s translation.) If Christians would begin by sitting the example, both in our homes and in our nations, of elamping down on our quarrelsome tongues and typewriters, and living by God’s wisdom, the reign of peace would be at least much nearer.

Shall I Go To Church? i Rev. J. R. Meadows The regular time for worship of God is established by tradition, and by the law of the church which says. "My bounded duty is to follow Christ, to worship God every Sunday tn-His church; hnd to work and pray and give for the spread of His Kingdom. ()L ciniTse. there is no compulsion, but the tact is that if reality to one's Spiritual lifO is to be ob-, rained, as It does in one’s physical life, regular rules should be observed. I eat at regular times. I enjoy or relish my meals more sometimes than others, but I recognize the necessity of physical nourishment and 1 submit to the routine which 1 seems best to accomplish that purpose. If one’s Spiritual life is a reality, one submits to the routine best calculated by experience to nourish that life. “I don't feel like it” is evidence of carelessness or foolishness. For the real Christian, it is ,an established apd settled quesamount of activity, service, meet-
