Icreamedjnj I Comments z>j I on S.S. ~®zea Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, justice in Community Life, Leviticus 19:15-18; James 2:1-9, for Sunday, July 27. The passage from Leviticus is addressed to Moses to be delivered to Israel, which was actually little larger than an American community, Leviticus was the first part of a Jewish child’s t formal education, and justice was a major emphasis in ancient Israel. Jehovah was to be trusted as a just God, and so they too must practice justice, not only in their personal life but in the community. The passage from James brings us to Christian times, in which we find the principles of righteouspess andjustice are unchanging. V. 15. “Ye shall dsr no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the pferson of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.” A judge should consider his first obligation to God and the moral law. He should not favor a person because he is poor, though that might seem to be gracious: likewise, he should not forfeit righteounaness when a mighty persons was before him. ■’"" " ’ V. 16. “Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.” An ungoverned tongue can ruin one’s neighbour and can be equally disastrous nationally when leaders deliberately use lies to gain their objective.

W I I 'T 111 dangerous because the person attacked usually has no opportunity to defend himself. The phrase, "I am the Lord” is a reminder of the divine source from which all injunctions come. V. 17. “Thou shalt not hate thy ’brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.” If one is silent in the presence of evil doing, he is also guilty. His rebuke to another should always be In the spirit of love and helpfulness. — V. 18. “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.” Vengeance belongs only to God so man must never seek vengeance against his neighbour. “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’ is called “the royal law” of both Old and New Testaments, the foundation of trpe civil liberties. Vs. 1-4.. “My brethren, have nut the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord for glory, with respect of persons . . . For If there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; . . . And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him. Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there or sit here under my footstool: . . . Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?” From earliest times, the Christian gosepel recognized all believers to be on one level, and that level at the feet of Christ. In addressing his fellow Christians as "rfiy brethren’’ James was urging them to act like brothers. To have class prejudice within the church is to violate not only the requirements of Christ, but the law of Moses. Real Christianity is democratic, and the church must practice as well as preach brotherhood V. 5. "Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath • not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?” Gid’s chosen people had suffered much privation and hardship for their faith. He favored them, not because of their poverty. but because of their righteousness and faith, which made them heirs of His kingdom. Vs. 6,7. “But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? .... Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by which .ye are called 9 ” Christians of the first century were suffering many woes, not only at the hands of the government, but from the economic overloads are well. The selfish rich were tyrannical and persecuted the poor and the Christian. Jews were warned that they should not have the same attitude toward the poor. Vs. 8, 9. “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as theyself, ye do well; .... But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin. and are convinced of the law as transgressors.” Anything less than love as a motivating force is sinful. The source of the royal law is God. who loves us. We are to show the same kind of love to those about us by respecting our neighbours and showing goodwill in all our dealings. Lesson Prayer Lesson Prayer: Dear Father we' thank Thee that Thou hast ordained that love be the basis of justice in the lives of individuals. homes and communities. We are grateful that all Thy children are equal in Thy sight. Grant that we may accept our responsibilities as Christians to do everything possible to see that righteoustoss justice and goodwill are practised in our community.

I A Negro minister has been ' elected moderator of the Presbytery of New York for the first : time in its history. The Library of Congres in Washington has received as a gift from Brazil a copy of the first book printed in the Portuguese i language, a commentary on the Life of Christ. It was published isl Lisbon in 1795. The book has recently been republished in Rio de : Janeiro. The World's Christian Endeavor I Convention will be held July 23I 27 of this year in Frankfurt, Geri many. The World’s Christian Endeavor Union includes approxi- ■ mately 3.000,000 members in 80 denominations in over 50 countries of island groups. The president is Daniel A. Poling, editor of the Christian Herald. According to the “Hungarian Church Press" 5,000 school children have applied for Protestant religious instruction in Budapest as against 800 last year. The instruction is given twice a week by a full-time and 23 part-time teachers. Nikolai Khokhlov, former Captain in Soviet Intelligence, has reported that the spiritual revolution which is now taking place in Russia is an actual state of conflict between the people and their regime. He said that to be “with" the people in Soviet Russia means to be “against” the system. The people know the Soviet leaders are lying to them and feel deep discontent because lhey are not allowed to follow, outwardly, their staunch inclination to turn to God, he explained. Thomas R. Marshall once said, “That which we call life is but I narrow isthmus which links the land of was to the land of to be. We enter by the port of wail and we leave it over a bridge of .sighs. We have our hopes, our fears, our seeming failures and successes. Alternate sunshine and shadow play around us, and the close we wonder whether we have found the right way out of our wilderness of thought, or whether it has paid. So many, seemingly, strive for high and mighty purposes only to seemingly succeed, and wonder if there is a purpose in it all. That man who walks by knowledge only cannot tell; that man who goes along the path of faith —he alone knows. For in the . brief span of this existence there ' are so many unaccountable ex- ' periences, one cannot think they ■ come' by chance. Into the composite photograph of man there are many indistinguishable faces that in the making of it there must have been a plan." Book Review Evangelical responsibility in Contemporarly theology, by Carl F. H. Henry. The William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Is a review of Protestantism from ; the standpoint of some of the is- ■ oil, to clarify some of the pedspec’sues causing theological turmtives so essential to understanding and greater harmony.
