I Creamed .pl Comments Jc" On S.S., .qrg Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Justice in Government. Duet. 16:18-20; Amos 5:12-15; Romans 13:1-7, for Sunday, August 10. The passage from Deuteronomy stresses the Hebrew ideal of just- , ice in government as part of the instruction God gave to “Mdses; the verses from Amos depict the degree to which the Israelites became unrighteous and gave no heed to God's laws; in Romans, we learn the Christian ideal of government, showing that the supreme sovereignty of God is the source of all duly consituted government. Vs. 18-20. “Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes; and they shall judge the people with just judgment. . . Thou shall not wrest judgment, thou •shall not respect persons, neither take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise and ’pervert the words of the righteous. . That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which ~the.Lor_d,thy (;<>d..giv£th UiecJ’ The principles of justice and democracy. which Moses had taught the people, were interpreted by the local judges in terms, of the needs of the community and the judges’ understanding of the Mosaic law. “Just judgment” infers , that there were fixed standards of right and wrong. There was to be no partiality shown, nor bribes accepted by the judges, nor GORDON’S Western Auto Store AUTO PARTS—ACCESSORIES HOME APPLIANCES “Lowest Prices In Town” 152 N. 2nd Decatur BEGUN’S Clothing Store For Men and Boys Phone 3-3208 IDEAL DAIRY Restaurant — OUR SPECIALTIES — Short Orders and Fountain Service.

'misrepresentation of facts. All people were to be equal by the law just as they were before God. Vs. 12, 13. “For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins: they afflict'the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. . . Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.” Amos is speaking directly to the officials who were perverting justice by accepting bribes and discriminating against the just and the poor. The wise man knew that it was futile to appeal for justice when justice had ceased to be the objective of the court. Vs. 14, 15. “Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts shall be with you, as ye have spoken . . . Hate the evil,, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be* that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the rernrrant ofJosefm ’tan-' ed the nation to repentance and urged them to be as diligent in pursuing what was good as they had been zealous in their evil ways. God's covenant with the Israelites was dependent upon their obedience and faithfulness, and they were not to be favored otherwise. They were to change their ways if they wished God's favor. Vs. 1, 2. “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. . . Whosoever therefore resisleth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that restist shall receive to themselves damnation.” The state, with its officials, is a part of the divine order for the government of the world, and has a right to exist, quite apart from any relation to or sanction.by the church. Paul trac-1 es government to God’s purpose just as he says the Church was divinely conceived. Both are institutions administered by man, but ordained by God. This principle is true only as those who govern are loyal to God. If they are dis>loyal to God they are net -worthy ~ * ; Vs. 3, 4. “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil, Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for-he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. ’ There have been many situations when rulers have been a handicap to good conduct, though in theory governments uphold justice and punish only the wrong. Even though the ruler be a pagan, if he executes justice, and punishes chime, he is performing a useful purpose and, in that sense, is God's minister. Vs. 5-7. “Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. . . For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. . . Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom: fear to whom fear: honour to whom honour." The Christian citizen should not obey the ! law because the ruler wields a i sword, but for conscience sake sin-! ce obedience is the will of God. It is also the Christian’s duty to activiely support his government as well as respect its laws, since good servants of the state are performing a service for God. Weakness of conduct is but the consequence of weakness of conviction; for the strongest of all the springs of human action is hu‘ man belief. — Guizot.

Twenty-five to l|tfty motorists per day enter the chapel and come Out rested and relaxed after prayer. The Highway Patrol reports fewer accidents on that stretch of road. In South Africa,’a large sign <l4’xß’) has been erected on the ground of St. George’s Cathedral, ! Cape Town, reading: “This cathe- ' ciral is-opento"welcome ah men and women of all races to all services at all times.” The new sign was put after supporters of segregation had removed a smaller notice with similar wording from I cathedral steps. Seventh-Day Adventists sent 385 missionaries to 75 countries in 1957 Since 1902 this church has sent 8,367 missionaries to new stations. A record $63,000,000 was contributed by members of the Seven-th-Day Adventist Church to various causes of the denomination in 1957, and increase of more than $8,000,000 over the previous year.

The state I appropriated the money for its I construction, but the inmates of the prison raised the amount needed for the furnishing. In England, Armand Georges, of Ilford, who is seriously ill with high blood pressure, devotes one ~evening every week to. an. unusual form of Christian service. On that evening he opens his home to “any lonely people who care to call.” The ministry developed tffter Mr. Georges published a leaflet — “Crusade Against Loneliness — and received some 40.000 letters from lonely people. He believes that local churches should sponsor special services for these people, because “what they want most is to be able to knock on somebody's door and make themselves at home with one or two people.” Our Preacher > 7 Tears and Laughter i God made both tears and laughi ter, and both for kind purposes; for. as laughter enables mirth and surprise to breathe freely, so tears enable sorrow to vent itself patiently. Tears hinder sorrow from becoming despair and madness; and laughter is one of the very privileges of reason, being confined to the human species. — Leigh Hunt. Friendship improves happiness, and abates.* misery, by doubling our joy and dividing our grief. — Joseph Addison.

Herbert Hoover has said on this subject, this following: “The practical thing we can do if we really want to make the world over again is to try out the word “Old for a while. There are some “Old” things that made this country. There is the Old Virtue of religious faith. There are the Old Virtues of integrity and the whole truth. There is the Old Virtue of incorruptible service and , honor in public office. There are the Old Virtue of economy in government, of self-reliance, thrift, and individual liberty. There are the Old Virtues of patriotism, real love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it. These Old ideas are very inexpensive. They even would help to 1 win hot and cold wars. I realize that such suggestions will raise the cuss word ‘Reactionary.’ But some of these Old things are slipping badly in American life. And if they slip too far, the lights will go out of America, even if we win these cold and hot wars.” I Do You &OIY KnowGSBwL 1.
