THF BEAUTY OF THE LORD Rev. J. R. Meadows “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a humble and contrite spirit.” In worship we experience the nearness of God as we sinners, great and small, accept the invitation of Jesus. “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give your rest.” What a beautiful picture of our Saviour as we behold Him with outstretched arms pleading for us to come. Those of an humble and contrite spirit recognize Him as their healer and teacher. It is our privilege to rest a moment and adore Him in joyful anticipation of continuing as His servants. Yoke-bearers, truly, but also sharers with Jesus in the joy of Salvation. Go to the church of your choice next Sunday, and see if you cannot behold the Lord's beauty in a more marvelous way.

in««nutKXMl Umforn Sunday School L—oru W///////M Bikie Material: Joel. DevrtiomU Rea4iaf: Acta 3:14; 13*11 God for Everyone Lesson for August SO, 1950 THERE IS a serious mistake into which most religions fall, and even Christian people have been known to fall into the trap. It is the mistake of fancying that religion is so difficult, or so sacred, or so something-or-other, that it can’t be left to the common man.

Dr. Foreman

Religion is for spiritual aristocrats, religion is for the very few, religion is for professional religionists. It is for a sort of Religious Union, and , people who want it have to deal ’ with the Union

or they dont get it The Bible gives no sort of comfort or support to this twaddle. The Bible teaches, both directly and indirectly, from, end to end, that religion is for everybody. No one has a copyright on it no one and no union has a right to build a fence around it and charge admission. Religion is absolutely just as much the concern of the man in the street as it is of the man behind the stained glass. Everybody Needs Gos The Protestant form of the Christian religion, being based directly on the Bible, high-lights a doctrine called "the priesthood of all believers.” For many Protestants today this expression has very little meaning. They don’t know much about priests and they don’t want to know more. And the last thing they want » to be priests. But still it is an important doctrine. Because once you forget it, you are all set to slip back into leaving religion to the preacher, or to your grandmother, or to Old people and children, or to religious specialists of some kind. The Bible on the other hand teaches that true religion ia for everybody on the same basis. There are three important points here. One: Everybody needs God. 33m prophet Joel saw this, so did all the prophets. The same disasters, the same temptations, the same troubles and trials, the same hopes and disappointments, come in varied forms to be sure, but at the center of life there are always these needs and troubles. IVkert Is ths Road to fiod? We were thinking last week about refugees. Laterally millions of them dream of just one thing: 1 passport. A passport to somewhere, anywhere away from the bloody prison that their old country has become. All the refugees n one barracks may need passports; but not all can get them. Is religion like this? It is true, all men need God. But suppose the road to God is barricaded with difficulties and technicalities and requirements without number, like the road to citizenship in a free country? Suppose the road to God ■ias a secret gate? Happily, this is not the case. The road to God is in the heart. "Return to me with ill your heart,” the prophet Joel says for God; no technicalities, no ilaborate ritt al or rule-book. ‘My Spirit All" So —every one needs God; every one can find the road to God, for It is within him, it is the road of the repentant returning heart. But there is a third point equally important, and also a part of this "priesthood of all believers.” The third point is that God’s ideal world, the world he will surely bring to pass, is one in which God’s spirit will be poured out on all persons, all humanity (which is what "all flesh” means). In Old Testament times, most good people thought of the Holy Spirit as destined only for the distinguished few. God’s Spirit would come to a Moses or a Joshua, to a King like David or a prophet like Samuel. But not, oh never, to the common man or woman. Spirit-flUed people were a small and rare company. The rank and file might obey God from a respectful distance. The ordinary believer no more expected his God to live with him than the private expects the general to be sitting next him at chow time. The New Testament shows a different picture: the prophecy of Joel Is being fulfilled. “Spiritual” people In God’s ehurch and kingdom, are not a tight little elite. Every one whose heart’s prayer is “Come, O Holy Spirit,” will be the Spirit’s host : .. ■ i — ~ * midweek service. Thursday, 7:30 p.m„ W.S.C.S. meeting. Saturday, 9 a.m., W.S.C.S. bake sale.
