Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lessoa. Miriam, a Leader in Israel, Exodus 15:20, 21; Numbers 13:1-10, 13-15/ for Sunday, July 7. / This lesson illustrates that everyone with leadership ability should be used, regardless of sex, but the good leader does not stoop to jealousy and the gratification of personal ambition. God uses human personalities with all their weaknesses if they have the right spirit and attitude toward God and man. Vs. 20, 21.

. took a timbrel in her hand; and I all she women went out after her t with timbrel and with dances . . - > And Miriam answered them. Sing [ ye to the Lord, for he hath tri- ( umphed gloriously; the horse and . his rider bath he thrown into the ; sea.” Miripm was the first woman to be given the title of prophetess. > She was a woman of marked ability. In this instance, she directed the women in singing this song of . deliverance, accompanied by tambourines and dancing: the men, led by Moses, singing the stanzas, and the women the refrain. This was a very important occasion celebrating the Hebrews’ deliverance from the Egyptians. They expressed their joy in song. V. 1. “And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian.” Miriam and Aaron were -obviously jealous of Moses’ 1 superior rank as spokesman for God and so looked for something to criticize. Instead of remembering how Moses had stood by him when he had fashioned the golden calf. Aaron chose to take sides with Miriam against Moses. Striving to be the greatest offsets many other virtues and minimizes one's value asrU leader. In the next verse, they further prove their real . reason for criticism was jealousy, i Miriam resented the fact that her younger brother had position higher than hers. She wanted equality of rank. V. 3. '“Now the man Moses'was very meek, above all the men which were on the face of the earth.”) Meekness does not mean weakness, rather it refers to mildnes of temper, long-suffering, hu- ( mißty toward God, selflessness, serving others, rather than desiring i to be perved. Vs. 4, 5. “And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out . . . And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and i they both came forth.” God had a special revelation for the three and 1 he asked them to go out from the tent where Moses held his meetings alone with God. Miriam and Aaron had dared enter this holy place. Vs. 6,7. 8. “And he said. Hear now my words: If there be a prophet a thong you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision and will speak unto him i in a dream . . . My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house . . . With him win I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses’” Ordinary prophets received revelations through visions or dreams but Moses stood in a class by himself and was signalled out 1 by God as someone to whom he would appear visibly. Moses had proven himself to be a man of integrity and proven fidelity. In this statement, Miriam and Aaron were reminded that they had dared to insuit a servant of God. Vs. 9, 10. “And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed . . . And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and. behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous." Miriam's sin brought upon her both physical and 1 social punishment, even though she was a prophetess, since all lepers were social outcasts. God’s anger is revealed by his sudden departure, without -hearing their excuses. »/'V. 13. “And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying. Heal her now, ,'►- . • • 4

I O God. I beseech thee.” Instead ' of feeling any satisfaction in Miriam’s punishment, Moses prays for ; her forgiveness and healing. Mo- - ses’ love for Miriam impelled him I to overlook any injustice she had i done to him. i Vs. 14, 15. “And the Lord said unto Motes, If her fatter bad but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days’ Let her ’ be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.” God thought this public punishment necessary and the next verse reveals that all the people were delayed in their march toward Cannati because of the sin of one person. —Based on Copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. Arabia with its 7 million population has fewer that 50 Christians. A multi-million dollar Methodist theological school will be built on a 50-acre farm site three miles south of Dele ware, Ohio, home of Ohio Wesleyan University. *\Over 150,000 patients were treated last year in hospitals and dispensaries maintained by the Church of the Nazarene as part of their foreign mission program. The Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A, is conducting a four-year survey of family in America that may remodel the denomination’s education programs. Communist Poland has twentythree theological seminaries, according to a report on the Warsaw radio. The report said they are mostly Roman Catholic but include some operated by the Evangelical • Protestant) and other churches. In Australia, two church groups have asked the government for help in reaching primitive native tribes living in the- remote western interior. The groups have asked, for fupifs fpr welfare work among the aborigines, who are said to be leading a stone-age existence. The Seventh - Day Adventist Church reports that its Southern African division is the fastest growing in the denomination. Adventist workers use 731 languages in 185 countries throughout the world. The denomination operated 147 hospitals and sanitoriums in 1955. Hungarian refugees will receive a copy of the Scriptures in their own language in the country where they settle. The United Bible Societies in London have announced that all the Bible Societies in countries where Hungarians are being received have arranged to provide the Bibles. Several societies are giving money to produce the Scriptures in countries where the Bible societies are not self-supporting. Our Preacher Says: Regarding the importance of faith in the building of our nation, G.A. Sandberg has the following to say: > > “Faith is indispensable and the ' world at times does not seem to ‘ have quite enough of it. It has and can accomplish the impossible. Wars have been started and men and nations lost for the lack of faith. Faith starts from the individual and builds men and nations. America was built by and on the faith of our ancestors.” Recollection is the only paradise from which we Cannot be turned out. — Richter. \ , J
