CREAMED COMMENTS ON .. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. . WORKING AGAINST GOD,' Obadiah 1-4, 10*13, for Sunday, September 6. \ The Edomites were descended •from Israelites from Jacob. Just as the two brothers were antkgon- ; istic to each other, so were the two nations, even though neighbors. . The prophet Obadiah was a 100% I Hebrew and shared , his nation’s ’ antipathies for the Edomites whom he considered justified in receiving ■ -divine punishment for their sins. The purpose of the lesson is to ’"■Show the dangers a nation encountwhen it has a proud, nationalistic attitude. V.l. "The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle." Obadiah apparently had a vision regarding the fate of the Edomites and, as God’s messenger, he told the people that God would lead a war of judgment against Edom.

MF 1 V. 2. "Behold I have made thee ■ small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised." Edom's ’ downfall was to be brought about ’ by a coalition of nations plotting ' against her by whom she was to be laid low and made insignificant. Edom had depended on her grandeur and her place of influence among nations. Vs. 3,4. "The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that ' dwellest in the cleft of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in the heart. Who shall bring me down to the ground?... Though ; thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee . down, saith the Lord.” Isolated ' and secure, from her rocky fortress, Edom could literally look down on the Arabs whom she could whip into subjection, and looked down upon Israel which was struggling so valiantly against its enemies. Even though Edom in her pride could exalt herself like an eagle. God would bring about her downfall because she lacked the inner defense of the spirit. Edom’s pride had caused her to lose all fear, even the fear bf God. 1 Vs. 10,11. "For thy violence against -thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. . . In the day that I thou stoodest on the other side, in I the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou was one of them.” In this verse Obadiah begins to name the specific sins of which Edom was guilty. When Jerusalem was being plundered by the Babyonians in 586 B.C. she stood aside as a neutral and did not come to Judah’s assistance. Edom did disappear ass a nation, as phophesied, and ironically, is now a part of the new state of Israeli. V. 12. "But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou , have rejoiced over the children of Jurah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.” Not only did Edom make no effort to help Jurah when Jerusalem was being plundered, but she actually rejoiced in her downfall and uttered words of disdain in her distress * I V. 13 “Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on thei affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;” The Edomites not only gloated over the disaster to Israel, but joined in the looting of Jerusalem, and shared the plunder. V. 14. "Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.” Edomites stationed at the forks of the roads cut off the escape of the fleeing Judeans and handed over the refugees to the Chaldeans. V. 15. "For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.” This is a moral universe and no man or nation can escape punishment indefinitely for his sins.

The Christian Truck Driver ia«B new periodical, the organ of the organ of the Christian Truck Drivers Association. It hopes to do for the truck driver what the Gideons have done for salesmen. Another "university of atheism” has beet opened in the Soviet Union to augument the continuing government-sponsored campaign against religion. Eleven clergymen, representing Protestant and Jewish groups in Princeton, N.J., have invested in the shares of a company formed there to buy land and apartment houses for racially integrated housing. The group builds dwellings for integrated occupancy and also lends money and offers guidance to builders and others interested in such construction. The United Nations International Children's Fund has announced the grant of a million dollars to expand a co-operative dairy in Bombay, India. The Bombay government will contribute $5,000,000. An important condition of the UNICF is that free milk must be provided for many of Bombay's children for the next five years. School distribution, which now reaches 60,000 children, is expected to be doubled. The co-operative at Bombay is doing scientific feeding and sanitary packaging of the milk. A study indicates that Hie Methodist Church is expected to increase from its present 9,700,000 membership — largest Protestant group—to more than 12 million by 1975. The Methodist Publishing House, which distributes a large share of books, supplies, and lesson materials for the denomination, plans to establish 6 regional distribution centers in key U.S. cities to meet the growing needs. All kinds of enterprises are offering green trading stamps these days, but the First Baptist church in Alice (Texas) Is probably the first in its class to do so. T. G. Peters. Sunday School Superintendent, attached a green stamp to a clhcular letter mailed to all the church members. “Come to Sunday school,” he said, “and get two more green stamps for every one received by mail.” It worked. Attendance has been up substantially ever since he made the offer! WIT AND WISDOM A man who had listened patiently to someone telling a long story about all the troubles and sorrows he had to endure exclaimed: ‘T’ve had my trials and troubles. The Lord has given me both vinegar and honey, but he has given me the vinegar with a teaspoon and the honey with a 1a d 1 e.”—Moody Monthly.

Official board will meet September 3, at 8 p.m. Again, as I delve through the "leaves of wisdom” I find a rather interesting article on getting along. It goes like this: “A man, if he has wisdom, sooner or later learns that life is a mixture of good days and bad, give and take, ups and downs, laughter and tears, success and defeat. He learns that it does not pay to be a sensitive soul. He learns when to worry and when to let it slide off his back like water off a duck’s back. He learns that all men have burnt toast for breakfast once in a while and that the other fellow’s grouch should not be taken seriously. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder harms more than helps. He learns that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales and to gossip about others. He learns that to pass the buck usually boomerangs. He learns that it does not matter who does the job as long as it gets done. He learns that all people are human, like attention, and appreciate appreciation. He learns that most clouds have a silver lining. He learns that ninety-nine percent of the things he worries about never happen. He learns that “getin’ along depends upon his own behavior.” So you see, if you are not getting along too well, you had better try reading this over and then attending a church of your choice this Sunday. We’ll be happy, and I know you will too. God Bless You. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN Mercer Avenue at Five Points Harold J. Bond, minister 9:30 am., unified morning worship service for the entire family.

Some Presbyterian churches have for years established the policy that the budget, would be supported wholly by voluntary contributions of members and friends.

“The church stands as a symbol l of the finest aims and aspirations of the human hearty” says Edgar Guest. “It has outlived persecution from without and open disloyalty from within. It has withstood bitter and unrelenting attacks of atheists and cynics of every age. It has outlived changing times of peace and war, prosperity and depression. A church to me is the symbol of faith in the life eternal: it typifies decency, kindliness and fair dealing; it offers comfort to the suffering. It would make neighbors of us all.” The church is a bulwark of strength through out changing times! * ETHAWY UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH Benj. G. Thomas, Minister “Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.” “The sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath.” For Jesus the sabbath was not’ a day of drudgery but a day of joy. The holy day was not one filled with “don’ts” but one filled with stimulating experiences of rest from usual labors, qf worship of the Eternal God with others in the temple or synagog and of deeds of helpfulness to those about him. Because of his keeping the sabbath, Jesus was more fit for the work of the other days. Mr. Clarence E. Smith will be superintendent of the Sunday School at 9 a.m. Mr. Jerry W.
