CRE A ME D COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. "GOD'S STEADFAST LOVE. Lamentations 3:22-26, 31-40, for Sunday, August 16. The author of the book of Lamentations is unknown, although he • is generally regarded to be Jeremiah. It was written in the days I of the fall and destruction of Israel. sometime between 628 and 586 B.C. The book is a dirge and lament over the fall of Israel and the author's personal misfortunes. It deals with the reality of God's judgment and his mercy toward the humble and repentant. The purpose of the lesson is to show how steadfast is God’s love for humanity and that nothing can alter His concern for our lives. , Vs. 22, 23. “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, ; jjttecause his compassions fail not ! ... They are new every morning: great is the faithfulness.” The author can turn from his sufferings to new hope as he contemplates God’s steadfast love. In spite of his misfortunes, they would have been worse except for IDEAL DAIRY Restaurant - OUR SPECIALTIES - Short Orders and Fountain Service.

God's compassion. The dawn of each new day brings evidences of God’s love. V. 24. “The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.” One's communion , with God is the essential thing which brings renewed hope. The word “portion” means “inheritance"; thus, God is Israel’s inheritance and He will provide for His children. Vs. 25, 26 “The Lord is good unto them that wait for him. to the soul that seeketh him. . . It is good that a man should both hope . and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord” The Lord is good to those who earnestly seek him and, the midst of suffering, one can find satisfaction in quietly waiting in silence, without bitterness. despair or complaint for fulfillment of Gfxl's will. Vs. 31, 32. “For the Lord will not cast off for ever:. • • But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies." Affliction is not the last word in God's dealing with men. Some trials, misfortunes and problems are good forth? , disciplining of man. Although God is a God of justice who punishes sin. yet he is also a God who cares. Vs .33,-36. “For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. . . To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,. . . To turn aside the right of a man before the Most High,. . . To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not ” God does not sent affliction as a whim and with the desire of seeing men suffer. That would be inconsistent with God's steadfast love. He cannot ignore man's sin, however, which must be punished, such as cruel treatment of prisoners, dealing out unjust decisions by the courts and defrauding a man of his legal rights. If God is as jusT as this in not tolerating such practices, one should feel secure in the knowledge that he too will receive justice in God’s own time. V. 37. "Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?” Since God is the source of all things, he is in absolute command of the universe. God is supreme and uses all things and wills all things in terms of his love and his holy purpose for US. a V. 38. “Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good?” All events, whether good or evil are subject to God's control and have no separate existence. To God alone belongs dominion, and God’s purpose alone shall prevail. V. 39. “Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?” Since it is man's own sin which brings punishment to him, why should he complain about it? Much suffering is the result of sin, whether it is one’s own or that of others. If a man’s life has been spared through the mercy of God, he has been spared because God has a holy purpose for him. V. 40. “Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.” We must look at ourselves, recognize our sins, repent and turn to the Lord and find ourselves blessed by so doing. God’s immediate will for us should be accepted and seen in terms of God’s final will for us, which is the redemption of our souls.

IWld-gfe&i idswiygiDusM The first underwater exploration in Biblical archaeologly will get under way this summer aong Israel’s Meriterranean coast. An expedition sponsored by the Ameri-ca-Israel Society will investigate the historical remains of the port in the Caesarea harbor built by Herod the Great in the first century 8.C., which later sank Into the sea. Early in April, the British and Foreign Bible Society published the first four books of the New Testament in the modern language of the Russian people. The publication ended eight years of work by Russian scholars. An ancient document found in Egypt in 1956 has disclosed heretofore unknown sayings attributed to Christ. Known as the Gospel of Thomas, the writings, according to French Bible scholar Dr. Oscar Cullman, also contain sayings identical with or similar to those in the Four Gospels. The sayings are expected to be published in the near future by Professor HenriCharles Puech of the College de France. Public contributions have been asked by the Art Gallery of Toronto for the purchase of the SIOO,OOO Tintorreto painting "Christ Washing His Disciples' Feet" now on display at the gallery. Discovered recently in an old Irish country house where it had been hanging since the early eighteenth century, the 5 by 13-foot canvas is a companion piece to theJVenetian painter’s “Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes,” which has been in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913. Os the two billion 750 million people on earth. 95 percent can be reached by Biblical translations now in existence. 140 million people are learning to read each year. Literature has become a vital part of every mission field. Very few of these missions print their own literature. For the past ten years World Gospel Crusades have had a part in the distribution of Scripture portions to these various missions around the world. LESSON PRAYERT l Dear ll9ather, we thank Thee that Thy love for us is eternal and our sufferings only temporary. May we realize anew that there is a purpose in all our afflictions and that we must .never lose faith in the outcome of events which seem difficult to understand. May we be ever mindful of thy many blessings to us far beyond what we deserve.

The Bible is as old as the past, as new as the future. It contains history, poetry, philosophy, theology, short stories and prophecy. Millions of children have been named after Biblical characters, as well as institutions and cities. The Bible was written by many writers in many places over centuries of time. It was written in palaces and prisons, by the educated and the uneducated, by capitalist and proletariat. It is the greatest book in the world, the world’s best seller and within reach of all civilized people. It has a single story about a certain Person, from the beginning to the end—Jesus Christ.
