Suffering for Us tLesson for November 4, 1956 IN THE days when a running man could overtake a carriage that was in no hurry, a Christian man named Philip was led to run up close to a very handsome carriage —they called it a chariot—in which sat a man reading aloud to himself. Something about the way he

Dr. Foreman

was reading made Philip, now jogging along beside the carriage, ask the rider a question. For the man was reading aloud from a book which is no doubt owned by every reader of this column, a book

which to this very day outsells all others, every month of every year: the Bible. Philip didn't ask the man where he got the book, or what he thought of it, much less what the book was. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The distinguished stranger admitted he aid not. But he was so eager to find out that he invited this unknown pedestrian to ride with him. He was reading a chapter from Isaiah, the very same one that is our lesson scripture this week. It is all about “my servant,” that is, God’s servant. But who is this servant? The prophet himself, or somebody else? Could Philip please explain? A Frephet Sus Christ The book is 25 centuries old, the story of Philip about 19 centuries ago; but that chapter is still a favorite with Christians. The Church today gives essentially the same answer Philip gave: this is a prophecy about Jesus. Even those Christians who doubt whether the prophet originally set out to describe the historic Jesus of Nazareth agree that the picture fits Jesus remarkably well. Most of the Christian church says not only that, but Jesus Is the only person the description does fit remarkably well. It is a fair question; Would the first Christians, such as Philip, have thought this to be a prophecy of Christ if Jesus had never thought so himself? Are we to say that Jesus was less bright than his followers? The beauty and power of this great chapter from Isaiah do not come from accuracy in details; it is pretty difficult to make all the details match exactly the facts of Jesus' life. Nevertheless this chapter is more than beautiful in language and thought; it is powerful in giving us, in a few sentences, the central spirit and underlying intention oi Jesus' life. It is this: What he ensured and suffered, in life and in death, he suffered and endured not for himself alone but for others, for us. Uyels •( Suffering Suffering can be undergone on different levels, as it were. At lowest level there is mere pain, the kind known by animals. The beast does not think about it, animals around him do not; he simply suffers. At the next level there is pain suffered and resented, by human beings. Above this is pain which is suffered bravely, even defiantly, by a stoic (“I am the captain of my soul”). Above this again is pain which is borne with resignation not because it is necessary, but because God wills it. On a still higher level is suffering which is offered to God as a sacrifice—all the sufferer may have to give. As high as this, if not higher, is suffering which is undergone for the sake of others, as a mother for her child. 'Die suffering of Christ, the church believes, is on a plane even higher than all these, though it is like some that have been mentioned. For we re men "and women everywhere, always. “He Feared Out His Soul” The tragedy of Jesus, taken as • human tragedy alone, is saddening. 'To what purpose was all this waste?"—we ask Judas’ old question as the alabaster box pours forth its treasure. If we remember that this was not only a man but' God, undergoing this tragic darkness shot with “lightning of his pain," we can understand a little better (but dimly, for the opaqueness of our selfish minds) what the suffering of Jesus meant and means. It was for us; he bore our griefs and carried our sorrows; he made himself an offering for sin. You remember the girl who said to her older sister: “Oh, sometimes I wish I could take all the miseries of the world and put them en my shoulders!" And the older sister said, ‘‘Didn’t you know Jesus did that, long ago?’’ Thursday, 7:30 p.m., ladies chorus rehearsal) Saturday, 9:00 confirmation class instruction. 10:00 a.m., children’s choir rehearsal.

ATTEND THE CHURCH OF YOUR CHOICE Campaign To Increase Church Attendance In Adams County Sponsored By The Following Advertisers Who Solicit Your Patronage

4 Victorious Church Rev. James R. Meadows I believe that the majority of the members at* least want the churches of Adams county to be victorious churches; and as whether or not they will be victorious churches does not depend on the pastors alone, but upon every member of the churches. < A Church to be victorious must be efficient, and in order to be efficient there must not only be careful planning-and earnest praying; but also a consecrated, united effort. Such an effort will produce a spiritual atmosphere and we all need to realize that a deep spirit of reverence on the part of the members always makes a strong appeal to others who attend the services. If there is a worshipful, longing, hungering spirit in the hearts of the men and women who DECATUR HATCHERY Decatur Chicks & DeKalb Chicks and Kelvinator Appliances ymm HEATING - SERVICES • Shellane Gas Service Apex and Whirlpool Automatic Washers Admiral Appliances and T.V.

profess to love the Lord, then the . appeal that is made by the pastor 1 will be effective. Then again, the church that really desires to be efficient will not confine its efforts to the regular services of the church; but realizing the needs of the community will put forth an effort to supply those needs. Every church that is alive to its responsibilities, being • filled the spirit of God, will Ibe a praying church. A .praying l church will be a soul-winning church, and a soul-winning church is always a victorious church. Help your church to become a victorious church by being regular in attendance.
