tion of God’s yearning after wayward Israel. Hosea did not storm atthe people as Amos had done. Me epladed with them and talked, not of righteousness, but of love. The lesson should teach us that above all, God desires steadfast love from his children. V.l. "Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the- land, because there - is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of, God in the land.” Hosea gave this controversy a legal emphasis having to do with God’s covenant with Israel. God had prospered the Israelites on condition that they should exercise righteousness and judgment, but they had violated this covenant by their moral collapse. God expected truth, not shame, hypocrisy and corruption. God wanted his people to be merciful to the unfortunate and the suffering and they made no effort to understand God’s will for them or have any real communion with Him, V. 2. “By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.” All the sins mentioned are deep moral sins, and most of them break the Ten Commandments. Also, the people broke out into acts of violence and one murder was quickfly followed by another. V. 3. “Therefore shall the land ■vnourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.” Moral evil soon transforms itself into physical evil, which has its effects on all nature. An evil people will not long possess a good land. V. 15. “I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.” God is speaking in the first person through the prophet. God inflicts judgments to produce repentance. He will forsake his people until they acknowledge their guilt and seek Him. When they are ready to do this, He will be readily accessible. VS.I-3. "Come, and let us return unto tlje Lord: for me he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten. and he will bind us up... After two days will he revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight... Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going] forth is prepared as the morning;? and he shall come unto us as th&. rain unto’the earth.” These three verses indicate what Hosea thinks the people would say as they return to the Lord, but the words did not reflect genuine, sincere repentance. God is represented as a physician—-he tears so that he may subsequently heal, but it indicates a superficial view of God’s attitude toward sin, assuming that God would restore them to favor speedily as soon as he saw any sign of their turning to Him. There must- be a genuine repentance before a broken relationship with God is restored and It is sometimes restored slowly. When the people return to God. his aid, his forgiveness and blessing is as sure as the coming of each dawn and as refreshing as a spring rain. V. 4. “O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew as it goeth away.” By Ephraim, God is referring to Israel. In this - verse, God asks how He can minister justice and mercy at the same time, since they were as fickle in their resolutions of repentance as a morning cloud or the vanishing dew—asking forgiveness one moment, committing iniquity the next. The halfhearted attempts of the people to be righteous were gone with the

Roger Babson, statistician and economist, once said: ** A character standard is far more important than .even a gold standard. The success of all economic systems is still dependent upon both righteous leaders and righteous people. In the last analysis, our national future depends upon our national character.” A HAPPY HOME a In his address to the Golden Anniversary of the White House Conference on Children and Youth, President Eisenhower had the following to say: “Young people today are... . heirs to the greatest fund of knowledge and»the most opulent store of material advantages any generation ever received. The high school student has vastly more information at his command than any of the early settlers of this land. He lives longer and more comfortably than did medieval royalty, and moves about in an environment increasingly devoted to his convenience and enjoyment. Yet we know that these things are not the essence of civilization. For civilization is a matter of spirit: of conviction and belief; of selfreliance and acceptance of responsibility; of happines in constructive work and service; of devotion to valued tradition. It is a religious faith; it is a shared attitude toward life and living which is felt and practiced by a whole people, into which each generation is born—and nurtured through childhood to maturity.” I Wisdom v?| M o cm wote [ The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. Little Johnny was much interested. “My mother looked back once, while she was driving,” he explained, “and—and—she turned into a telephone pole!” first hint of adversity. V. 5. “Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.” God had sent prophets to the people to pronounce judgment upon them. He had decreed destruction to the most wicked to bring others to repentance and his judgments had been a light to which the people blinded themselves. V. 6. "For I desired mercy and, not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” God wants men to know Him and to love Him. He is not interested in burnt offerings which are merely a smoke screen for their hyprocrisy, but desires only steadfast love which springs from inner devotion. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Chris'tian Education.

Judge Harold Medina, the famous jurist, haa said, “I have in the last few years come to the belief that our destiny as a nation depends upon our spiritual strength rather than bombs, production and material wealth.” Our. Scientific achievements have brought men to that ’place in history where revival of spiritual values is a ■basic condition for human survival—The distinguished scientist. Dr. Dennistown Ver Planck, has said, “Science, if your pursue it, for example, either takes you to a dead end or back to the begin* ning; Finally, you have to ■ fall back on faith.” The church provides a means of the strengthening of our Christian faith.

Theodore Roosevelt once said: “It is not the critic who counts—- ' not theman whop6bits out how the strong men stumbled, or where , the doer of could have done better. The credit belongs to the [ man who is actually in the arena; . whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and Who comes . short again and again. It is he ■ who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so . that his place shall, never be with ■ those cold and timid souls who ' know neither defeat nor victory.” 1“ do You 1.
