The Long Pull Lesson for September 27, 1959 THE SAME thing never happens twice. But the same kind of thing happens over and over in the history of mankind. Man is the same sort of creature everywhere you find him, and all the gadgets and inventions of the past 300 years have not changed him very

much. So you might expect the same kind of situation or problem to turn up again and again In the story of man on thia planet. One of these might be called the Run-Down Situation. We

could call it the Problem of the Rut. It is the state of things when nothing of great importance is happening as far as we can see, when one day is about like most other days. In fact, it’s the way life looks to many people over 40. The great thrills are over, death is nowhere yet in sight, there is nothing to do but to keep on plodding as patiently as possible. Far the Long Pell The prophet Malachi lived in such times. This last book of the Old Testament comes from a time of disillusionment, weariness and tedium. The great thrill of coining home from exile was over long since — more than one hundred years, in fact. Nobody had seen a miracle, no Moses was in sight. The Jews in Palestine, where Malachi preached, had once been all excited about being able to come back in peace to Jerusalem to build a temple and to worthip the true God. But as time went on people became tired of the endless series of sacrifices, even the priests became bored with the whole thing. People stopped coining to the temple. The priests did not think of carrying religion to the people, and the country wai sinking deeper and deeper into religious indifference and moral decay. There were many religious observances, but not much heart-religion. In thia situation Malachi preached. He did not have the dramatic power of Amos nor the tenderness of Hosea nor the majestic worldvision of Isaiah... to this very day Malachi is nobody*’ favorite prophet Nevertheless What he said then seems to fit our day remarkably well. For he was giving his people hints for what we might call “Religion for the Long Pull.” Do lottor Malachi’s recipe for doing God’s will, as a nation, was simple and will always work. He did not propose anything new or startling. What he recommended, in a nutshell, was doing the good things better—the good things they were already doing in a half-hearted, discpuraged sort of way. They had priests, men of God they were called. BE men of God! was Malachi’s word for them. Take your responsibilities, get out there and teach the people, don’t live selfish secluded lives. (This in modem terms would be a plea both for better ministers and for better schools.) Then Malachi spoke of supporting the law. The expression “lawabiding” is not exactly thrilling, even to law-abiding people; but Malachi laid it on the line: You will never make any progress so long as you keep breaking the laws that you know. A nation of lawbreakers is headed for a breakdown Itself. Further, Malachi did not fail to mention those two institutions, the church and the home. Put him into modem language, and we can hear him saying, better churches make better homes! Better homes make better churches! What was happening to homes in those days, this prophet says, grieved God himself. No Bhsrt-Gst* Quack medicine* always sen, because people want to get well of their troubles right away, they can’t wait. Quack religion “sells,” too, and for the same reason. People would be glad for God to “pass a miracle" and bring that better world right down from the clouds. They wish the "day of .the Lord” would eome. Anything at all to save themselves trouble. Malachi has no comfort for such persons. He believed there could be a better JerusaleMT but It would come only if God's people wanted It enough to work for it
