CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, DECISIONS DETERMINE DESTINY, Deuteronomy 30:15-16; 31: 7-13, for Sunday. July 12. Moses, now 120 years old, is about to turn the responsibility of leadership over to Joshua. He calls on Israel t 9 do two things: to choose between standing with God or against him, and to face the future with confidence under Josh2i, his successor. The scene of e lesson is near Mount Nebo, Where Moses took his first and last Mok at the Promised Land. The lisson emphasizes the fact that people must make wise decisions ajid that any choice involves both freedom and responsibility. ;Vs. 15,16. "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and tfeath and evil;... In that I command thee this day to love the l|t)rd thy God, to walk in his ways, apd to keep his commandments atd his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multipry; and the Lord thy God Shall mess thee in the land whither thou west to possess it.” One of the tjjisic decisions everyone must make is whether he will cast his life for the Lord or against him. Jfcst as good citizenship means a rlgard for the laws of the state, s| Christian citizenship imposes a

right outlook upon God's moral law. No man can play fast and loose with God's laws without becoming spiritually impoverished. Moses was anxious to know that his preaching might penetrate the understanding and affections of the people of Israel and that his leadership had not been in vain. These ways, commandments, statutes and judgments represent the goodness, the wisdom, and the righteousness of God expressed in terms of human life and conduct for Israel. V. 7. “And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for "thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.” Wise is the leader who trains up an able man as his successor. Moses showed himself to be a truly great leader when he showed no resentment that he was not to be allowed to take the people into the Promised Land and fulfill his mission. He was anxious that Joshua have the same loyalty and confidence of the people which he had and assured Joshua that he should be strong and have courage, knowing that God would give him divine guidance. V. 8. “And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Moses knew that whatever success he had achieved had been the direct result of the fact that God had gone ahead of him leading him. His responsibility had been to follow divine guidance. So he counsels Joshua that while he will be the leader of Israel, God will be the leader of him, preparing the way and directing him aright so that he need have no fear. V. 9. "And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel.” The priests were the custodians of the written law. Doubtless they were employed by Moses as scribes. One authentic copy was to be laid in the side of the ark as a standard by which all other copies must be judged. Vs.lo, 11. “And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,... When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.” The feast of the tabernacles was one of three annual feasts which all the people were expected to attend. This was to be particularly important in the seventh year of Sabbatic rest, since there would be plenty of leisure and they would be free from their work in the fields. This feast corresponds to our Thanksgiving and was celebrated by families “tenting” on their rooftops, remembering the forty years’ wanderings of their tent-dwelling fathers. i Vs. 12, 13. “Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the works of this law:... And that their children, which have not known anything, may hear, and learn to fear the lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.” Christian education is not a new venture in our world. The education of people in godliness is as old as Moses himself. Moses voiced particular concern that children be given insruction in God's laws that they might grow up to be God-fearing. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.

Representatives of the Cuban Home Bible League report that Batista followers now in jail awaiting sentence are eager to obtain copies of the Scriptures. The Bible, workers are visiting the jails regularly. Twenty-five men condemned to death requested the ministry of the Bible people in the last days of their lives. Representatives of the three major religious youth groups in the United States presented a check for $850,000 to officials of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund. The money was collected by teen-agers and elementary school youngsters on Halloween night in some 9,500 American communities. It is estimated that when all local returns are received the 1958 program will have brought $1,200,000 to the United Nations organization. A set of principles dealing with church-state relations destined to help combat .religions intolerance in eighty-four countries was adopted by a United Nations sub-com-mission despite the opposition of Soviet and Polish delegates. The principles were contained in a resolution passed by the subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protective .of Minorities in a ten to one vote. Poland cast the only dissenting vote and Russia abstained. A Gutenberg Bible over 500 years old and valued at more than $500,000 embarked on a return trip to a Polish museum from which it was removed 19 years ago for safekeeping during World War 11. For the last 13 years the valuable art works were stored in the vaults of the Bank of Montreal's branch in Ottawa, Canada. Withdrawn from the Polish museums in 1940 by officials, they were brought to the New World byway of Romania, France and Scotland. Dr. E. L. R. Elson, pastor of the National Presbyterian church in Washington, D.C., has this to say of the relationship between religion and democracy: “Our kind of democracy depends upon the Christian religion. Its ideas are religious ideas. Its standards are religious tandards. Its goals are religious goals. Allow religion to languish and democracy begins to disintegrate. If democracy should ever vanish, it will be because we are not sufficiently Christian. We cannot play at religion and trifle with our inheritance and keep the American way. We deserve our heritage only in proportion as we cultivate the qualities of character worthy of it.” I Uit TKI — 4 nd — I WisdornWl “What is that a picture of?” asked a small tot. "That’s the Goddess of Liberty,” Big Brother replied. “You can always tell her ’cause she’s got an ice cream cone in her hand.” Many worthwhile battles are won by outsitting the enemy.

To be honorably and intelligently independent, a nation needs to acknowledge its dependence on a Higher Power. Washington was a man of prayer and sought help continually from the God of nations. A vital faith in God was present in the beginning of our national life and had a large part in determining the course of human events. That faith is in accord with and necessary to a true spirit of independence, which means freedom in the largest sense, plus the nobility of character essential to national greatness. The man or nation that believes in God and strives to live in accord with His will enjoys the only independence worth striving for. A nation under God must be a worshipping nation.
