DevoUanal Readinc: P.alm. 103:1-11 • Two Sons r — Lesson for November 25, 1956 WHAT does the word ••prodigal” mean? Ask some Sunday school class that, and you may be surprised at how many bad guesses you hear. Actually the name simply means "wasteful." Jesus never named his parables; and

Dr. Foreman

pometimes the names the church has given them fit, and sometimes not. The parable of the “prodigal son” might be better named “The Two Prodigal Sons’* or "The Forgiving Father.”

Two Ways of Wafting There are two ways of being prodigal or wasteful. One is to use up and destroy what might have been saved. If you let good farm machinery sit around in the rain till it rusts, you are wasting equipment. If you use expensive butter for a job a little bacon grease will do just as well, you ar, wasting the butter. If you are a general and order a useless assault in which thousands of men needlessly lose thir lives, you are wasting human life. All these wasteful acts, great and small, are done in the same way, essentially by throwing away or spoiling what might have been saved and use. Another way of wasting is just not to use what is there to use, something which if you do not use now you will never have the chance to use again. An example of this is water power. The river flows on its way, developing so many horsepower with every mile; if these are not used today, tomorrow the horsepowertoday’s horsepower—will be gone. You waste water power not by destroying it but by failing to use it The Younger Son Now in Jesus’ famous parable, the two sons were both wasters, but in opposite ways. Take the younger one: Give me ... he said, and off he went. A young fortune was in his hands; but he threw it away, he was through with Jt, he was through, “pedod," in no time. There was something else he wasted; his father’s love and confidence. He virtually treated his father as if he were already dead. This younger son is, of course, the type of the reckless sinner who wastes his health, strength, character, perhaps money too, the sort of man who is called a “wastrel” or waster. The time, life, strength that such a man wastes cannot be brought back again. You could go down to Skid Row, or to the nearest hospital for drug addicts and convert them every one; but you could never give them back the “years the locusts have eaten." God forgives such men, as the father in Jesus’ story forgave the younger prodigal; but just as the father in that story could not recall from the four winds the wasted fortune and the wasted years, so not even God ever turns the clock or the calendar back. The Older Son But that older boy— he too was a waster. Only he wasted in the other way, not by destroying but by not using. There seems to be something deeply sad in the father's simple saying: “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.” This was true—and yet the son had made it untrue. “You are always with me”—so near, and yet so far away. None of the father’s spirit had penetrated the boy’s mind. He was physically at home yet spiritually a stranger. He too, in a different way, had lived like an orphan. Every day there was open to him a father's heart, a father’s Sympathy, a father’s wealth; but he rfever took it. If for the younger boy there was waste-by-destruction, for the older there was waste-by-neglect. Did the father forgive this son too? The story does not say. The impression most people get is perhaps what Jesus intended to suggest: The father was ready to forgive each yn; but the younger son was forgiven, because he had “come to himself,” he had confessed his wrong. The older son was not (so far as the story takes us) forgiven, because he did not seem to be conscious of having done anything wrong. Os course he was the type of the Pharisees; but the Pharisees are not dead. In the church and out there are correct, respectable citizens who know nothing of God's love for their lost brothers, and so have never known the God they officially call "Father." God will forgive such a man too; but perhaps he seldom does, for such a man seldom thinks he needs it
