1 Sunday School luwcm* B«ektr*«aA Srrl»t»rt»: Exodus 3:110; 15;10-21; Numbers IS; toil: J8:00; DtvoUanal Rradlar: Psalm 33:1-7. Woman In Command Lesson for July T, 1957 Thirty-three centuries is a long time. Records made 3300 years ago have been broken long since. It would be a rash person to say that a modem Christian woman should stay inside the limits set for women 1300 years before Christ. No person of that far-away time can be a precise model for Christians today. Nevertheless we can learn something from the ggg&lg ancients. One question- W which — oddly ?• |B enough — has been bothering the for JB probably longer RBI »■' than 3300 years, Dr. Foreman is this: What is woman's placet It is just as absurd a question as the other one which —also oddly enough —is never asked: What is man’s place? The odd thing is that we assume that man's place is anywhere, while woman’s place is some way limited. We assume that mhn can go where he pleases, while women have to ask men's permission. This notion is a hangover from ancient times when it really was a man’s world far more than .now. Nevertheless even in those distant days an able woman could make her own place in the world. Miriam, sister of the famed Moses, is a case in point She was a woman of a strong mind, a natural leader. There is no "story’* of Miriam. There is a story of Joseph, a story of Moses. But the picture of Miriam, like the majority of Bible characters, is drawn with a very few stroke! AU we have is glimpses; yet from these we can learn something of an interesting woman. : Smart fiirl --- Miriam was older than her brother Moses, — not just a year or two older, but old enough, by the time he was born, to manage that business about getting his mother for a nurse. Undoubtedly her mother had coached her for Ute interview with the princess (see Exodus 2); but all the same, the girl must have had sense. She was smart enough to step up to her Royal Highness just at the right moment. A little too soon and she would have been shooed off as a little slave-girl coming where she had no right to be. A little too late and the Princess would have chucked the baby back into his sea-going bassinette, or else bundled him off to the palace with one of her own maids. But just at the right instant little Miriam bobs up .with the right question. All the Woman Want Attar Har On the; morning after the night when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, we meet Miriam again. This time she leads the song of triumph and praise, celebrating the fall of Egypt’s might and the liberation of her people. Singing and playing and dancing, she led the women in the celebration of the Lord's victory. Here are twp hints about the place of women as leaders. We already had one hint in the story of Moses in the bulrushes: Smart women grow from smart girls; leaders do not come from among stupid people. In the story of Miriam and her victory-song, we have first the hint that a woman can be a most effective leader of women. "AU the women went after her,” we are told. It is not true that women follow men only; a strong sensible woman has little trouble in securing feminine support The other hint is that Miriam, in her primitive way if you like, was leader of, her people in two respecter; ¥he was interpreting for them the great event of the. Exodus (“just a lucky wind," no doubt some were saying) as an act of God. and she was leading in creative art. It is rather suggested that the “Song of Moses” was at first the Song of Miriam. In short, Miriam took the lead where she could and as she could. . Tm Far ? And yet this leader could show up in a bad light,, as the story in Numbers 12 shows. It appears she had fallen into the blunder made by some dictators since: she tried ..to run the private affairs of other people; In away, she could have argued that Moses’ marriage was her affair, since she was in the family; and what woman does not •feel a natural interest in all marriages, especially those of her own close kin? But the moral is short and clear; When a leader becomes a dictator, even God is no longer patient. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat WnnA ihsav Krintr rgtctiHs -

Nine Reasons For Tithing Rev. J. R. Meadows 1. It guides us by providing us with a method of intelligent giving. ) • 2. It helps us by freeing our ’ church leaders from a pre-occu-pation with money for the more - important task of ministering to people. 3. It places us all, rich or poor, on an equal footing before God. i 4. It helps us by enabling our . church to speak not about money . in a begging attitude but about responsibility in a dignified manner. ’• 5. It shows us in a concrete manner the everyday meaning of real gratitude to God for the many things He has given to us. 6. By making us responsible with a fixed percentage of our income, it teaches us responsibility The second beet Is never 1 as good as the best.
