Weekly Sunday School Lesson o Sowing and Reaping

Galatians 6:7 .

BY W. E. GILROY, D.D. Editor of Advance ’ International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 16.

ANY practical problems faced the Christians in the pagan communities in which they lived. Different Christians. met the problems in different ways. Some thought ‘it’ was wrong to eat meat that . had been offered to idols; others did’ not feel that ‘offering it to the idols affected the meat, and they ate with ‘good conscience. : In the midet!"PaRichidpiébivis’ men were apt t8 Judge ohe ‘mivther, not always with" graciousness ‘and understanding! Even those had their faults who had become Christian under conditions where one would - think that to do so would imply almost perfection of life. In the church at Galatia, some, apparently, were censorious and unsympathetic. Possibly there was some warrant for their critical mien, but Paul very definitely stated what the Christian attitude ought fo be. yd o »

F a man has been overtaken in a fault others should manifest their own goodness by restoring him ‘in a spirit of gentleness, remembering that they themselves may be subject to temptation. To bear one another's burdens is to fulfill the law of Christ. Pride and self-will are sources of self-decep-

tion. There is an apparent conflict in

Paul's statement here, because,

after saying that we should bear):

one another’s burdens, he is equally explicit in saying that each - man shall bear his own burden. Both statements are true. Every man must bear his own burden, but it often becomes intolerable if there is no mutual help in the bearing of burdens, And when, along with his burden, a man must bear the adverse - judgments ‘and unkindnesses of his fellow men, his load is' far

greater than it ought to. be,

dR, Ilia AJL

‘KR 7E are living, as Paul says, in

‘a moral world where wrong-. doing - brings its consequences, “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” There is a great deal in life that seems to upset that idea, but history, as well as religious teaching, shows that it is true. The Christian life is a life of well doing. Continuance that life brings its reward. Hé who would live as a Christian must meet all men’ in a. spirit of ‘good will, and this spirit ought to be particularly manifest toward his fellow Christians. Here is good, common sense, practical counsel for life, It applies to those who would live well in our usy as ‘it did to these early disciples. No man’s life would be without improvement if he would give heed to these wise words and put them into practice in his daily life and contacts,

(The following article on “The Revelae tion of Youth” was written for The Ine «dianapelis Times by the Rev. R. 0. Mo Rae, pastor, Edwin Ray M. E. Church.)

BY THE REV. R. O. Pastor, Edwin Ray M. E. Church

“I never knew there were such young people in the ‘world today” a clear-minded young man said to me the other day as we sat in the

lobby of one of our downtown hotels.

He was the observer, as were all the others there, of a drunken de‘bauch involving some dozen of the guests. “I never realized before what splendid people I have been reared among,” another young man said. This boy had been brought up among very ordinary people. Difference Opened Eyes > “I use to think that church peoe ple were as irritable, unscrupulous and unlovely as anybody on earth, I held the church in contempt because I thought that church people were failures, but when I.came up against it and had to deal with people untouched by the church, and saw the 'difference, I undere

stood what a marvelous environe

ment I had been a part of. Both of these young men are right. Church folk generally are

pretty human. They are afflicted !

with tempers, tantrums and trivial ity. But they also are making a very honest and sincere effort to better themselves. They, for the most part, love things that are splendid, fine and noble and they at least have their faces turned towards the better things even though they have not entered into possession of all the best things for themselves. A young woman of some 20 years made this statement not long ‘ago: “I get tired of my folks’ parties, They bring a lot of old amorous fools into our place, feed them, give them liquor: and then the whoie crowd gets ‘stewed’, wrecks the place, makes the night a bedlam, talks like a bunch of gutter rats, and then leaves us to clean up and try to hold up our heads and onto our jobs the next day. ”

Indictment of Home It was a terrible indictment of

her home and reveals that the trou-

ble is not with the .prodigal sons and . daughters but with prodigal mothers and fathers who, in the yellow leaf of age, are attempting to be youthful and gay when all they

.get out of it is being foolish at night

and a headache the next day. What-a contrast is this girl’s de- | tame pa me ory of her home

‘home where the

[guests all have been splendid people,

where the entertainment hds been above reproach, where there has been no after affects for which an had to be made. : Here is the difference between a Christian home and one of no ideals

2 'or standards: while it may be a

revelation to a youth who has never known anything but Christian environment when he discovers the terrible depths to which sin can drag a person, it is also a revelation to the other ‘youth who never has known anything but sin when he discovers what a lovely thing’ life may become in a home in which the church has fostered a wholesome Christian atmosphere.

Ideal Home a Dream “All my life I have dreamed that

1'|2 home might be like this,” said a

young girl in her late teens upon visiting a church home for the first

| me, “but I never supposed it could .

be real. T though it a dream to tan talize us with its impossibility.” The Christian home fo which the church had given ts chaste conver- || sation, its unselfishness, its orderliness, dignity and beauty was as much a revelation to the girl who had been reared in the midst. of vulgarity, as the hotel debauchery was a revelation to the youth who had been reared in the midst of wholesomeness. Church people, generally speaking, are a disappointment. They have their New Testament, the promise of power, the asurance of Lord’s willingness to give them the

good gifts of the Spirit. But they Mf

never have gisen to the mi Tespon. ibility of their gifts.

Contrast Shows Worth
