I B«ck(r*BBl B«rt»tsr«i G»ne«l» M:l* •* 12*33. D«T«itoMl Be»4lGf 1 Isaiah SS:O*tX Man of Peace ' Lessos tor May M, 1957 IN a hospital for the insane, the patients may think the doctors are crazy. In a land of three-legged men, a man with only two legs would look deformed. Maybe that is why in the world today people who speak a good word for Peace are looked on as somewhat “touched in the head.” This Is a warring world. It is a fact

that the heathen ancestors of most readers of this column followed a religion in which heaven was thought to be a place where fighting went on aU day and drinking all night But north-Europeans

are not the only fighters Os the world. Wars and fights, large and small, have been going on in all parts of the world since cave-man times. This Twentieth Century is the bloodiest of all. with fewer wars than formerly, but far more serious ones. Sarrtadtr Isaac, second son of Abraham, Is known as a man of peace. But he must have seerred to be a rather odd man, around Gerar where he lived. He did not seem quite normal He was willing, even eager, to make peace; but what lessons he endured In the making of peace? In the famous story of the Wells of Gerat, which is in our Scripture this week, we see Isaac giving up his comforts, his profits and even his rights, in order to keep peace. He moved farther and farther into the wilderness; he got no return on aU the labor put in on the wells; and he actually gave up what he had a perfect right to keep —the wells themselves. It is very likely that a man or a nation that is going to stay at peace with the rest of the world, will,, like Isaac, have to surrender some comforts, some profits, even , some rights. A nation, or an individual unwilling to make any concessions, yield any points or lower their profits, is r.eaded tor a fight. And the fight will cost more than what they fought, to keep. Sent of fiod Nevertheless, peacemakers shall be called sons of God. So Jesus tells us; let it be noted that he said peacemakers, not peace-wish-ers, peace-praisers. This means, that peacemakers are like God, they belong to his family. It means that the peacemaker is in line with the purposes of God. Consider Isaac again. What became of all the nations whose battles reddened, the earth, whose wars were the big news, whose generals were famous men, whose conquests made history? The nations of that day are now dead, so dead that until re cently—we know better now—there were some who thought the Bible's references to them must be fiction. Only university professors know ebout the Girgashites. the Philistines and aU the rest, and they don't much care. But what became of Isaac? His name is immortal; the family descended from him is found everywhere in the world, pie sons of Isaac are the most indestructible folk of history. When God sent his Son into the world, it was to the sons of Isaac that he 4rst came, not to the children of the Philistines. Witnsw of History Sometimes the most peaceful men or nations are forced to fight But the truly great are not those who keep the fight going on for years and years, but those who bind up the wounds they have made. Germany, at the.time these lines are oelng written, shows an example. Fhat nation was conquered by America and Russia, along with other nations. Today America and Russia are the two principal pow- 1 era occupying Germany with their armies. But the part controlled by Russia Is being systematically bled. Fha great Russian war memorial m east Berlin is lined with inscriptions (quoted from Stalin) insulting the German people; most prominent in East Berlin are great ruined empty buildings. In the, west zone, controlled by the United > States, there is comparative prosperity; this country is devoting immense sums to the upbuilding of ' our former enemies; most prominent tn west Berlin is the rising sew city built on the ruing of the >ld I: cannot be said that Germans love to be occupied by foreign armies But they know the vast „ tifferenct. between a former ene•y who t irns as quickly as possible e Sm ways of peace, and an «na■y u«v«r knows the war b •• •bUlbbs ••ayrlghus br tka ttviala • Cartelisa E<ni»ilon, Kbi«BBl C« B-4 «f the Charrh-n «f Chrlcl , a th- V S. *. b> Cvmai Bally - Ptsaa SttWaa.) ._- ■ ’ ■

Be Quiet-lt* s Best Policy i Rev. J. R. Meadows There is a proverb which runs, • "When you’re rattled. Don’t rush,” . When you don’t know what to do, do nothing. When a dense fog settles upon a harbor full of ships, the only wise course is for each to cast anchor and stand still. If > one persists in going ahead, it is likely to ram another and send both to the bottom. The fog will lift if we have patience, it is local and temporary. When we are utterly confused, a secret prayer, a quiet talk with a ; friend, or a good night's rest and sleep will often restore good judgment and clear purpose. Isaiah says, "He that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God."

rattled, we find that law and order prevails, the cosmos is not tumbI ling into ruins, and God is upon His throne. Here is the advantage of prayer, it takes us away from ourselves into a vaster surrounding area, the region of God’s love and power, - undisturbed by the convulsions which upheave and dismay our little souls.
