I Comments,.#] I On 8.8. .srvl | Creamed Comments on die Sun- '■ day school lesson, in the land of promise, Joshua 14-18, for Sunday, June 8. It took approximately seven years for Israel to conquer Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, Joshua was held In high esteem by the Israelites ever since he had led them across the Jordan. This lesson, based on the experiences of the Israelites, challenges us to meet life’s tests and difficult situations with greater faith and determination. Vs. 16, 17, 18. “So Joshua took i all that land, the hills, and all the ; south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; . . . Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under maunt Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. . . Joshua made war a long time with all these kings;” That land referred to was Canaan; the hills, the Judean highlands; Gosen, an area in southern Palestine; the valley, the Judean foothills adjoining the Philistine plain; the plain, the whole depression of the Jordan and the Dead Sea; the mountain of Israel, the hill country of Ephaim, and, the valley of the same, the lower country toward the Mediterranean. The two places mentioned in Verse 17 were the northern and southern limits of the conquest which had lasted a long time — approximately seven years.

Vs. 19, 20, 23, “There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites, the. inhabitants of Gibeon; all others they took in battle . . . For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel ip battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses. . . So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.” The peoples mentioned were destined for destruction because of their great wickedness and their refusal to follow God’s laws. God did not want the Israelites to come in contact with these Canaanites and their sinful ways, so wanted their complete destruction. The Hivites alone survived after making a covenant of peace with Joshua. Vs. 14, 15. “Now therefore fear, the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lofti.

. . . And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the, Amorites, in whose land we dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Apparently some of the Israelites had lapsed into animals worship while in Egypt. Abraham’s father had served other gods. After remaining the Israelites of all God’s benefits to them, he indicated there must be no more compromise. and they must decide, even as he and his household had decided, to serve the Lord God and Him alone, in truth and sincerity. Vs. 16-18. “And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods: .... For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and pre- 1 served us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: . . . And the Lord drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the Lord: for he is our God.’’ The people responded wholeheartedly to Joshua’s plea arid repeated all of God's belief its to them' in preserving them to that day, including with a determination to serve God faithfully. This was Joshua's final message to the Israelites assembled at Shechem. Soon after, he died at the age of 110, and was buried m Ephaim

As the moral basis of long-range objectives. Dr. Paul C. Empie, executive director of The National Lutheran Council, outlined a fivepoint statement of fundamental principles through which, he said, “our nation and the world will be blessed.” These were: —U.S. interests, responsibilities and welfare are not only interrelated but inextricably interwined and interdependent with those of other nations throughout the world. —U.S. plans, domestic as well as foreign", must be designed to further purpose consistent with the social, economic and political wellbeing of the total family of peoples and races and must be carried out within the framework of world obligations. —U.S. policies must not be determined arbitrarily in - isolation, nor in reliance primiarily on power, but . . . out of fundamental recognition of her obligations toward others and harmony with universal standards of justice recognized in assocation with other nations. —U.S. standards of living, including immigration and trade restrictions, , treatment of racial, cultural and social minorities, and foreign policy must manifest a sense of moral responsibility. —U.S. ultimate peace and happiness depend upon the readiness now to share natural and technological resources to less developed nations ... to improve their standards of living and create “a climate conducive to moral growth and well being.”

Our Preacher > JL Clericus says: Time and God are inseparable allies. Evil is always doomed eventually regardless of how many temporary triumphs it may have for a time. Injustices reign for only a season. Whatever violates the spirit of God as revealed in Christ is inevitably destroyed. God's purposes are always accomplished eventually. We cannot be neutral where God is concerned. If we put other things first, we are rejecting God. Only when we make God first in our lives do we truly serve him. j Lesson Prayer: Dear Father, we thank Thee that Thou hast given us the right of choice in our daily lives. Grant that we may ever remember Thy bountiful mercies to us and- voluntarily take our stand as a true child of Thine, submitting our wills to Thee willingly. May we never be diverted to the worship of-false gods—wealth, popularity, success—and by so doing, reject Thee as master of our lives. May our lives be such as to influence others to make Thee first In their Ijves. Amen. If you are. criticized, you have either done something worth while, or refrained from doing something foolish. A penty will hide the biggest star in the universe if you hold it close enough to your eyes.— Grafton.
