Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Jethro, A Practical Counselor, Exodus 18.13-24, for Sunday. July 14. This lesson demonstrates how the abilities of many people contribute to the Success of any enterprise and thereby those chosen become strong by sharing in the project. There is also evidence that even the best of leaders should heed wise counsel and learn to delegate responsibility, V> 13. “And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.’’ The Israelites whom Moses led out of Egypt were

ex-slaves had lost their capacity to think for themselves during their captivity, so Moses counseled them, settled disputes, and made decisions for thetn. V. 14. “And when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said. What is this thing that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?” After slaying an Egyptian who was abusing a Hebrew. Moses fled from Egypt into Midian. where he met Jethro, a shepherd-priest, who became his father-in-law. He dwelt in Midian for forty years and came to honor Jethro and respect his counsel. His wife and children stayed with Jethro while he led the Israelites out of Egypt, After which Moses returned to join his family. Jethro recognized that Moses’ methods were not good in trying to do all that needed to be done himself, and not delegating responsibility to others. V- 14. “And Moses said unto his father-in-law. Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:” The people believed that God spoke to them through Moses, so what he said had the value of a revelation. V. 18. "When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws." Moses took upon himself alone all legislative, judicial and executive powers, while the people were developing their government. His decision about a particular case became a precenent for others, and later a law. He applied divine statutes to particular cases to settle disputes. Vs. 17, 18. “And Moses’ father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good . ■ . Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee; for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.” Moses would have broken in health under the strain had he continued to do the work alone, as Jethro indicated. If he collapsed, there would be no leadership to take over. Vs. 19, 20. “Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: . . - And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew the way-wher > and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work they must do." Jethro advised that Moses should continue his functions as priest, prophet and teacher, but could delegate to others some of the judicial and executive responsibility Vs. 21, 22. “Moreover thou shalt i provide out of all the people able men such as fear God, men of 1 truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be risers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds; rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens ... And let them judge the people at all seasons, and it shall be, that every, great matter they shati bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge; so shall it be easier for thvself, and they shall the burden with thee.” Jethro stresses the moral qualities of the men to whom he should delegate responsibility. They must have integrity, be capable, trustworthy and God-fearing. By dividing the large group into sma 1 administrative units, each small group could have its own magistrate and judge to care for routine mattors. Vs. 23 . 24 “If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so. then shalt thou be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace ... So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all he said. All Jethro advised should be subject to God’s approval. Mosel saw the wisdom of Jethro’s counsel, delegated responsibility, and made himself available to God for higher tasks. .. * j « —Based on the copyrighted out-

The largest Lutheran Church in the world is the Church of Sweden, with 7,290,112 members. It reported the greatest increase in membership during the past year, with 700,000 additions. The World Jewish Congress says thertFare 11,810,000 Jews in the world. This is an increase of more than half a million within the last years. Almost half of these (5,300,000) live in the United States, 2,000000 in the Soviet Union, and 1,585,000 in Israel A huge cross on a farm near Breese, Illinois, was first erected 104 - years ago by a farmer in thanksgiving to God because he and his family were spared from the Black Plague then sweeping Illinois and Missouri. The cross is the third erected on the same spot. A German verse on it reads: “By the Cross, Salvation.” The present owners of the farm said they will maintain the cross as a living memorial of one man's faith. Secretary Paul Collyer has received permission to visit Cairo to plan continuing distribution of the Bible in Egypt. The American Bible Society has been at work in Egypt since 1827. Arabic Scriptures are still being printed in Cairo, where the Bible Society office and Scripture depot are open, with a full staff of 20. In East Africa, the Navigators who recently completed an evangelistic mission among the Mau Mau camps in Kenya, are now continuing with a complete follow-up program. Since November, more than 42.000 former Mau Mau terrorists from the highly literate Kikuyu tribe have heard the gospel, and over 2500 first-time decisions for Christ were recorded. Three of America’s great labor leaders, a Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jew, will be memorialized in stain glass windows in the National Cathedral erected by the Protestant Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C The memorial was made possible by a $54,000 contribution from labor organizations. Those to be honored are the late William Green, president for many years of the AFL; Philip Murray, leader of the CIO; and Samuel Gompers, first president of the AFL and “father” of the modern organized labor movement. Mr. Green was a Protestant, Mr. Murray a Catholic, and Mr. Gompers a Jew. Our Preacher Says: Fear builds barriers between men. Those barriers disappear when men have faith in each other When we have faith in men they seldom disappoint us: they usually rise to the occasion and prove themselves great. Miracles can be worked in an atmosphere of faith and confindence.

Her very wise mother answered quietly, “Well, my dear, if you want to be that kind of old lady, you’d better begin now. She does not impress me as a piece of work that was done in a hurry.” .—

What are the benefits of sharing responsibilities rather than relying entirely on one strong leader? 2. What were the major principles involved in Jethro’s counsel to Moses? 3. What were some of Jethro’s good characteristics? 4. What are the necessary qualities of leadership? 5. What constitutes a good counselor from whom one will accept advice? I D ® You KnowM 1.
