Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. The Source of Human Conflicts, James 3:4,5; 4:112, for Sunday. September #.—The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. This lesson attempts to show that Christians must purify their hearts of self desire and discipline their words and deeds in order to live in harmony with their fellow men. V. 4. “Behold, also the ships though they be great and are driven of fierce winds yet are they turned about by a very small helm, whethersoever the governor listeth.’ James, the Just, leader of the early church, in observing the ways of many Christians, strikes at the root of al! trouble —a lack of self control as exhibited in speech uttered by the tongne. In this verse he calls attention to a great ship guided by a helm at the command of the governor. Without Christ, a man wills as he pleases, and expresses himeelf in words, good or bad. To be on the safe side, man needs to be Christcontrolled. V. 5. “So the tongue is a very little member, and boasteth great things: behold, how great a matter a little Are enkindleth.” A single match may start a forest fire. Evil words may corrupt a home, community or nation. A good word brings cheer and comfort to scores of people. V.l. “From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not Yhence, even from your lusts that war tn your members!” Within man there may be a conflict between personal desires and the supremacy of God. V. 2. “Ye lust and have not; ye, kill, and have a desire to have and ! cannot obtain; ye fight and war. and have not, because ye ask not.” The asking for the gratification of self is a prayer which is not a prayer. —V. 3 “This verse explains the preceding ohe. Here is the reason I for unanswered prayer. V. 4. “Ye adulterers and adui-|. tresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” To be worldly minded is to go in the wrong direction. Mor-, ally, the depth of immorality is adultery. Christ calls for a full and complete surrender to God and his will. Mental reservations bar Christ out of the mind and heart. V. 5. “Do ye think that the scriptures saith in vain? The spirit that dwelleth within us lusteth to envy?” Can one question the purpose of God’s spirit tolerating envy? The answer is In the nett verse. V. 6. “But he gfveth more grace. Wherefore he saith. God. resisted the proud, but giveth grate to the humble.” The proud feel selfsufficient and therefore do not recognize the need of God, and so, without his rule, a man falls into paths of . envy and covetousness. To be humble is to attain a condition of helplessness, being without God, and, in this condition. God pours out his grace abundantly into the life. V.7. '“Submit yourselves therefore unto God. Resist the devil and he will flee from thee.” Christ overcame the temptations of the devil in the wilderness and a man linked with him has Christ’s resistance power. V.A. “Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded,”

God's presence l« so near that at the very moment an individual earnestly seeks him. the seeking Father enters the soul and there is an abiding experience. But note men's part in abandoning in deed and thought all not consistent with God’s holiness. Vs.S.lO. “Be afflicted and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning; and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight bf the Lord and he shall lift you up.” Here is a clear call for repentance so that he becomes poor in Spirit; for only then can God be seen. V.ll. “Speak not evil one of another, brethren; he that speaketh evil of his brethren and judgeth his ’brother, speaketh 'evil or the law- and jndgeth the law; but if thou judge the law thou art not a doer of the law but a judge.” The law referred to here is the law of love. When God possesses the soul, there love reigns, and. as a result, that love is duly expressed toward God and toward men. * -Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education. National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A., and usdd by permission. Work or Worry High tensions, high blood pressure, stressing disappointments, self-pity, are in the category of people that worry. There is a grow' 1 ing need for hospitals for the mentally ill—a class that has reached the end of worry. Mental delusions. self-sufficiency, a stricken conscience, vain imaginations, if allowed, breed worry. All this is i not a physical condition but a spir- ' ittral one. Here is where “Trust in i God" comes in. Our government has printed it on our money but that has not effected a cure: this phrase, to have value, proceeds from within, from the right will, the normal outlook and ambitions that flow from a deep and earnest and sincere faith in God. This is well illustrated 'in the life of a poor Christian widow with a large family who, in addition to her own brood, mothered neglected children; she was always composed and happy. Some one asked her how she did all this and was so i happy in doing it. She answered, “trust in God; that is to say, I am in partnership with God. One daylong ago I said. Lord, I’ll do the work, you do the worrying,’ and I have not had a worry since.” —The Rev. D. Carl Yoder. |j^ e * ' Discussion questions on the Sunday school lesson. The Source of Hnman Conflicts, for Sunday, September 9. 1. What are some results of an evil tongue? 2. What are some of the results of a good tongue? 3. From whence conies the expression of all words? 4. Why are the proud boastful? 5. What is the best way to make sure all verbal expressions are right? Don’t expect God to put you in a bigger hole til! yon plug up the one you are in The man who is promoted is the one too big for his job.
