IcreamedjM I Comments I on s.s. t sra| | Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, social justice and the gospel, Matthew 46-48 ; 23:23-26, tori’Sunday, July 13. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus summarized his teachings and gospel. In this lesson, we deal with righteousness versus hypocrisy, with pretense versus practice of the gospel. It-shows that Christianity is more than external obedience to laws, in that one's attitudes and motives are of, primary concern. J Vs. 'l7, 18. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. . . /. For everily 1 say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law. till all be fulfilled." Christ came, not to annul the divine will expressed in the law and the prophets, but to bring out the full divine purpose contained in them. Jesus had great respect for the law apd the Old Testament and _ quoted from them frequently. He gave to the law wider horizons and greater depeth. He added the Lord’s Supper to the old Passover; beyond the old law of sacrifice, He lifted His cross. The jot was the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet, the tittle h projecting point on some of the letters—the expression being similar tc our crossing our t’s and dotting our i’s.

am — ' the least in the kingdom of heaven t but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. . . For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees/ye shall ip no case enter into the kingdom of fieavetj.’’ Christ is addressing his disciples as future teachers. He urges them to in no way relax the emphasis on the importance of keeping the commandments, but in addition, they were to exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, whose religion was formal and legalistic, but involved no change of heart. Theirs was a negative religion and external; Jesus made religion internal and postive. Vs. 46-48. “For if ye love them which love you. what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? .... And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? .... Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” It is easy for anyone to love their friends by Whom they are loved in return, but the Christian way is to love their friends bv whom they are loved in return, but the Christian way is to love those who disagree with them, who are even inimical to them. The publicans, or tax collectors, were the most hated people, since they symbolized greed and extortion. and, even they, greeted people courteously. The love Jesus commended was an eager yearning to help others, even hated publicans. The ideal for which we are to work is to attain the kind of goodness that God has, even though we cannot hope to attain the degree of His goodness. This includes a universal love for -everyone, friend and enemy alike: Vs. 23-26. “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hyprocrites for ye pay thithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy., and faith: these eught-ye to have done, ond not to leave tthe other undone. . . Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. . . Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. . . Thou blind Pharisee', cleanse first that which is within the cujLjmd platter. that the outside of them may be clean also.” The scribes and Pharisees were careful to tithe ..even a tenth of their food seasonings, but neglected moral issues of major importance. While Jesus in no way minimized the importance of tithing, he beared the scribes and Pharisees for losing their sense of value and becoming fanatical tithers, while neglecting vital issues. In the same way. they were so afraid of eating forbidden food, that they strained their milk to get out any gnat that might be in it. Both the gnat—a tiny insect-—and the camel were unclean meat to a Jew,'and Jesus uses a proverbial expression to denote the inconsistency of avoiding a minor defilement , but betag unconcerned about serious moral pollution. Outer ceremonial cleanliness can never compensate for inner wickedness which is demonstrated‘in . extortion and greed. Book Review Nation Under God, edited by Frances Brentano. The Channel' Press, is a religious-patriotic anthology including 100 exciting episodes by leading writers, depicting how deep faith has shaped this country's restiny since the Mayflower touched our shores. The" book is'a stirring spiritual history -of America, which will provide pleasure, inspiration and imformation. i

Our Preacher IB |J| ■ Clerical says: Jesus came to brush out the mere symbols of religion and exalt the real meanings of religion which are eternally right. Jesus came, uot to desffoy the law, but to show us by example how to keep the law m spirit and in truth. By following Him, law and duty cease to be a grim task that we must perform; righteousness make duties and observance of laws a pleasure. The contrast between the man-cen-tered approach and the God-cen-tered approach to social justice is the difference between an emphasis on externals and the inner spirit. “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Lesson Prayer: Dear Father, we thank Thee that Thou sent Thy Son into the world that we might know the, way to Christian perfection by trying to follow in His footsteps. May we realize that true religion begins in the heart and is free from selfishnes, enabling us to love all men, whether friend or foe. Grant that we may ever remember that social justice results from the practice of true Christian faith. Amen. CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE 7th and Marshall Streets C. E.

Coming seemingly from nowhere, these locusts ravage every green leaf in a matter of hours, sometimes minutes. They leave behind them a trail of hunger and misery. In recent years, the threat of most species of locusts has been brought under control by mankind’s own counterattacks. National and international organizations have come into being to use modern weapons against the locust scourge. The World Meteorogical organization of the United Nations has supplied experts to forecast the movements of these locusts ahead of time, so that mobile units could go into action on the ground or in the air to destroy the locusts by spraying them from motor vehicles or from planes. Should the desert locusts be defeated as a result of this international cooperation through technical assistance, may millions of people of Africa and Asisa will no longer dread the black cloud which for so many centuries has brought ruin from the Sky. Democracy is J based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people.—Fosdick. i—
