CREAMED COMMENTS ON t THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, A NATION UNDER GOD, Deut. 7:8-11; 8:17-19; 11:1, for Sunday, -i.f July 5. Deuteronomy Is the English form of a Creek word meaning “repetl- ’ lion of the law.” The scene of the 'lesson is in the Plains of Moab and the time is the interval between the end of the wanderings in the Wilderness and the crossing of the Jordan. Its purpose was to make Israel realize the claim of Jehovah on their gratitude, obedience, love and loyalty, and to un'derstand their privileged position as the chosen people. V. 6. ‘‘For'thou art an Holy people v unto the Lord tny God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a i» special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” God chose Israel ..- v to be his chosen people because they were a suffering people who knew not pride, and as such, were in a good position to respond to his love hhd . guidance. Holiness was the unique, characteristic of God but could- be transferred, io those honored by God to be his special people. V 5.7.8. “The Lord did not set his

love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:. . . But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had Sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” They Were not' a chosen people because of their strength or culture, or saintliness, but merely because God loved them and kept his covenant with Abraham, as indicated in Genesis 12:1-3; 15:4-6. V 5.9.10. “Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generation;. . . And repayeth the'm that hate him to their face to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face." The covenant was a mutual agreement Whereby the people promised to obey God’s commands, and God promised them that if they did obey his commands, he would make them a holy nation. Love is God's standard of righteousness and anything other than this spirit separates people from God; The moral life of the world is subject to.“laws in much the same Way as the physical world is governed by them. V.ll. "Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and mp-judgments, which I command 'Thee this day, to do them.” To oe chosen of God was-a precious gift which was to be retained only as they obeyed God's commandments and accepted his judgments. Responsibility always accompanies privilege., V 5.17,18. “And thou say in thine heart. My power l and the might of mine hand v hath gotten me this wealth. . . But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to—get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Possessions can poison the heart with false pride. A people are in great danger when they forget what God' has done for them and consider their prosperity due to their own power and effort. People and nations that are strong often forget God and think they can defy the moral order and somehow outwit the law of xV. 19. "And it shall be, if thou do .at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and .serve I them, , and worship them, I testi-. fy against you this day that ye shall surely perish,” When one forgets the true Qod, other gods will be The fact that Israel was* a Chosen ' people would not save .them-from retribution if they turned away .from the true God and worshipped other gods. V.l.' “Therefore thou shalt love thy Lord thy God, and keep his charge/ and his statutes and his judgments, and his commandments, always. ” This verse summarizes? the -whole matter by indicating people are to love God and have the benefits ol his mercy and obey his laws so that it will be possible for God to bless them.

Emerson said it well: ‘Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only true gift is a portion of thyself.’ “We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart: love, kindness. joy, understanding, sympathy, forgiveness: “We give -of ourselves when we give gifts of the mind: ideas, principles, plans, inventions, projeep, poetry. ' —i “We give of ourselves when wp give gifts of the spirit: prayer, beauty, aspiration, faith. "We give of ourselves when we give the, gift of time: patience, attention, consideration. "We give of ourselves when we • give the gift of words: encouragement, inspiration, guidance. "The finest gift a man can give to his age and time is the gift of a ponstructive and creative life.” —Wilfred A. Peterson.

Here is your thought for the week: The two most important words in the world are “Yes” and “No." “No" is a static, lifeless word. .“No” to opportunities to serve, to opportunities to travel,, is -the closing of the door to pbrsonaT growth and development. “Yes" is a door-opening word.

This has been called a time of mental unrest, but so has every age that has contributed anything important. There was profound disturbance when Copernicus discovered that the earth revolved around the sun; when Columbus pushed back the horizon and brought new continents to view; and when Luther claimed for men the right of private judgment. There was mental unrest when Darwin announced a law of continuity in life. That is the sort of a world we live in and the law of life. In such a world we can either expose ourselves to those things which produce serenity and a calm spirit or become emotionally unbalanced when faced- with tensions. Resentments,' worry and self-cen-teredness are psychologically poison. Physical, mental and spiritual health depend on the absence of Menage: "Compelled.” Enjoy the inspirational congregational singing, the special music, and the time of testimony. Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., prayer and praise. 8:30* p.m., choir rehearsal. Saturday, 7 p,m,, men’s prayer meeting. Tomorrow ends another month of church work.
