Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Baruch, Faitb- , ful Secretary, Jer. 36:4-8, 22-26, 32, for Sunday, September 8, Baruch was neither a prophet nor a king, but simply a prophet’s right hand man. Born to wealth and the life of a prince, he was content to be friend and secretary to the prophet Jermiah. whom he served for 20 years.

ly because Brauch was willing to efface himself to serve a great man and a great cause. He was a loyalty in a day when treachery ruled Vs. 4. 5. ‘Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. . . And Jeremiah commanded Baruch. saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the Lord." For 22 years Jeremiah’s prophecies had been uttered verbally. Until the time of Josiah, all Hebrew law was memorized, all judgments and official decress were delivered orally. The success of the book of the law in Josiah s day possibly inspired Jeremiah to try a new approach and write down his prophecies. Since ha was refused entrance to the temple and it was necessary for Baruch to become a spokesman as well as a secretary.

V. 6. “Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou has written from my mouth, the words of the Lord in the ears of the people In the Lord's house upon the fasting day; and also thou shaft read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.” The book was to be read in the temple on the fast day when the people of Judah, sobered by the fact that some of the tribe had already been carried into captivity, (including Daniel), might be more receptive to the prophecies. Vs. 7. 8. ‘‘lt may be they will present their supplications before the Lord, and will return everyone from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people.” Jeremiah hoped that the people might genuinely repent and turn from their evil ways, thus avoiding the impending destruction. God does not indulge in revenge, but is interested only in reformation. He offers forgiveness to those seek it voluntarily. Baruch did as he was told, even tough it involved great personal risk. Vs. 22, 23. “Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. . And it catffe to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, hfe cut it with the pen-knife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.” The people in the temple heard Baruch read the prophecies; what he said was reported by Micaiah to the princes, who asked Baruch to read the toll to them. So impressed were they that they sent Jehudi. one of the princes, to the king with the roll. Baruch’s book was a roll made of prepared skins of animals, stitched together, and probably attached to rollers of wood. The words were written in columns. This is the first instance recorded in the Scriptures of Bible-burning. Book burning is always futile as truth has away of surviving all fires lit by small .men. Vs. 24, 25. “Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that; heard all these words. . . Nevertheless, Elnathan and Doliaiah and Germariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.” There is no hope for anyone who refuses to listen to the truth. When the king cast into the fire the message of God sent through Jeremiah, he was lost, and his nation with him. ( He would not even listen to the pleas of his friends and avoid disaster. V. 26. “But the king commanded Jerahmeel, the son of Hamipetech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to

take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord hid them.” The king did not get rid of God’s word by burning the book nor did he succeed in getting rid of Jeremiah and Baruch, because they were under God’s protection. Nothing now could save the king from the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and the nation because of their sins. V. 32. “Then took Jeremiah another roll .and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.” The newly written book was even larger than the first. Truth is not destroyed by burning a book. The Polish government is helping to restore an ancient synagogue in Cracow destroyed during the Nazi occupation. When the synagogue is restored it will house a museum dedicated to Jews martyred by the Nazis. The Robert E. Speer Library has been dedicated on the campus of Princeton Theological Seminary, New Jersey. This $1,500,000 structure will house the largest theological library in the world. Dr. E. Stanley Jones, 73-year-old American missionary and evangellist, recently completed a vigorous three-month campaign in Japan. He addressed public meetings in 27 cities and conducted six ashrams (retreats). The meetings were attended by more than 23,000 persons. More than 10,000 signed decision cards. Two clergymen of the Churches of Christ have announced their intention to go to Russia as missionaries. If visas for the two clergymen are aprroved, it will mark the first time the Soviet Union has officially admitted American evangelists for missionary work. A Protestant Big Brother organization has been launched in Cleveland, Ohio. It Is sponsored by the Cleveland Church Federation. It will co-operate with Juvenile Court, social welfare agencies, and individual churches in recruiting men who will play the part of ‘big brothers” to boys from fatherless homes. The Gideons International, an association of Christian businessmen, has now reached the 35,000,000 mark in distributing Bibles and Testaments. In J 9 years the ministry of the Gideons has expanded to include placing Bibles and Testaments in motels, hospitals, penal institutions, airplanes, trains, ships, and on schoolteachers desks, in addition to hotels.
