A PEOPLE AT WORSHIP j LESSON' TEXT Exodus 28:1: 35:4-9. 1
20-29. . GOLDEN TEXT Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only Shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:10.
' A nation which knows God must have a place and a plan for worshiping Him. The history of Israel has moved forward in the account .in Exodus where the people delivered from bondage are established as a theocratic nation; that is, tine governed by God. i The covenant at Sinai (ch. 10) ;was followed by the giving of the Jaw (chs. 20-23), and then in chapters 24-40 we find the worship of God established. Two elements are necessary a way in which God may be approached and a place to meet Him. The former is provided in the ordaining 'of the Aaronic priesthood, and the latter by the building of the Tabernacle. I. God Provides a Way to Wor ship (28:1). The appointment of Aaron as high priest, and his sons to serve with him,, provided for the proper conduct of the worship of God which was to take place in the Tabernacle. ' The sinner coming into the presence of God must approach by way of the brazen altar where sacrifice could be made for sin. This called, for a priest set apart for this holy1 duty, which would open the way for the repentant one to enter into the. Holy place, and ultimately to know that his sin was covered in the Holy of Holies. i Consider the grace of God in thus providing for the deep spiritual need
of His people. All of this pointed for-j ward to the day when Christ the true' High Priest was to make the perfect; and final atonement for sin by the! sacrifice of Himself on Calvary's tree. J ; The symbolic dress of the priest and his consecration for his duties1 are all very instructive, but we do not have space to comment at length. Suffice it to say that the one who is to serve in the conduct of the worship of God is to be a called,; cleansed and consecrated man, set apart for a holy calling and eager to be used of God to lead men into fellowship with Him. From these first provisions for the worship of God we thus may fearn many of the high principles which are to guide the church regarding the call and separation of .men tq.thq.mlnlstagfTti'e gift and grace of God shown in the man's character are far more important than intellectual. or social standing. II. God Provides a Place of Worship (35:4-9, 20-29). The plan for the Tabernacle was given by God to Moses in much delta il. A close study of it will bring rich reward. Although the plans were made by God (Exod. 25-27), note that He gave to the people the privilege of providing the materials. They recognized it as a high privilege and not a burden, and they came enthusiastically with their gifts. That thought bears application to the believer, for we know that God still loves 'a cheerful giver (II Cor. 9:7). Those who groan and grumble about the money and material needed for the worship of God have not caught the real spirit of Christian giving. ! The children of Israel brought more than enough of their most treasured possessions and of the la,bor of their bands; in fact, they had to be told to stop (Exod. 36:1-7). Imagine having to tell people to stop 'giving! That would be a novelty! 1 The Tabernacle was duly built, and thus there was provided for Israel a place of meeting (Tabernacle literally means "tent of mealing"), teautiful and appropriate for their days of sojourning in the wilderness. The significance of the Tabernacle is both interesting and important. (1) It is a symbol of God's presence with His people. All wh?. were defiled were excluded because God was there. , : (2) It is a type of God's method of bringing sinners to Himself. There must be a sacrific for sin before communion can be established. : The furniture of the Tabernacle is therefore significant. The altar of sacrifice and the laver of cleansing come first in the outer court. Then on his journey from the sacrifice to the communion of the Holy of Holies, the one who seeks God is ted fcy the showbread, lighted -by the candlestick and sustained by prayer, of which the altar of incense speaks. J Christ is the Bread of life, the Light of the world, our High Priest and interceding Advocate. Within . the Holy of Holies the mercy seat typifies the covering of a Believer's sins by the blood of Christ (3) It is a symbol of the incarnation of Christ of whom it is said that He "tabernacled" with men. '. (4) It is a symbol of heavenly ; things, Christ now appears in heaven for us as our minister and high priest (Heb. 8:1-5). (5) It is a symbol of God's dwelling with men in the ages of eter-
AT THE CHURCHY
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE . SERVICES "Truth", is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, January 27. The Golden Text is: "The Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endurcth to all genera-
tions" (Psalms 100:5). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon i3 the following from the Bible: "Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Psalms 119:104. 105). "O send out thy light
and thy truth: let them lead me; let . i . . ,i i i . i ?i i
them bring me unto tny noiy nui, and to thy tabernacles" (Psalms 43j3). "Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in" (Isaiah 26:2). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Scienoe and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The spiritual sense of truth must be gained before Truth can be understood. This sense is assimilated only as we are honest, unselfish, loving, ant?hieek. In the soil of an 'honest and good heart' the Seed must be sown; else it beareth not much fruit, for the swinish element in human nature uproots it" (p. 272).

YOU
Oh, where are the reapers, my Father? And why are laborers few? The field is white unto harvest! Oh, Father, there's so much to do! The reapers are plenty, He answered; I Lave called forth to harvest a host. A few have responded; the others Are sadly neglecting their post. One lingers at home for a living, For fear that I would not supply; Another shrinks back with "I cannot," And refuses to try. Another is lost In eat th's pleasure, Forgetting the sorrow and pain Of sad multitudes dying; Another is bent on earth's gain. I've called, but my call is unheeded. Oh, awaken, ye slumberers I pray! Awaken! God hasn't forgotten The call that He gave youJ Away! Tear loose from your puny excuses. For the souls whom your efforts should save Are daily and liourly sinking Down, down to a lost, hopeless grave. Awaken, oh awaken, ye hopeless; God hasn't forgotten 'twas you That He called forth to work in His harvest, Nor the task that He gave you to do. TLink you He'll accept your excuses And give ycu a home with the blest? Think you of this you are deserving? ' 'Tis the laborers who are worthy of rest. Must the Father remain disappointed In the work Be expected of you? Must it ever be this, "I've called many, But those who will answer are' few"?
"Just step inside. It's cold to wait out here. The boy looked doubtfully at himself. He did not need to be told that the day was cold. His blue lips and the teeth that would chatter in spite of him, eloquently proclaimed the knowledge. The collar of his thin jacket was turned up to his red ears, and his bare, red hands were thrust into his pockets, leaving exposed several inches of wrist. Nevertheless he hesitated to accept the invitation. ' "Guess I'd better stay where I am," he said, with an awkward effort at) politeness. "You see I'm pretty drippy. Your rug would get all wet." The girl still held the door open, and a grateful breath of warm air came out to him. She spoke with' decision. "It will take some time to get those things together. I don't want you to wait out there in the cold. You're of more consequence than the rug, you know. Come in." The boy entered in a dazed fashion. There was a radiator in the hall and he held his chilled hands toward it. He looked down and saw that little muddy streams from his boots were trickling down upon the rug. What was it that this remarkable young lady had said? "You are of more consequence thsn the rug." Nobody would believe it if he told it. He would not believe it it he had not heard it himself. And yet she had really said it. "You are of more consequence than the rug." The boy had heard a great many opinions expressed about himself. He was well aware that many of hisi neighbors were of the opinion that he was on the way to become a "tough." Probably the neighbors were right. He was both lawless and fearless. Somehow the words of the girl who had opened the door for him had struck a new chord. She had spoken as if he counted for something, as if he were of some importance in the world. The thought that stirred in the boy's heart was an awakening self-respect, and with it came a yearning new to him the desire that other people should think well of him. The girl came back with the papers for which the boy had been sent. She also carried a pair of mended mittens. "I wonder if you could wear them? They were my brother's. I guess they'll be a little too big for you, but they'll keep your hands warm, anyhow." The boy slipped his hands into the mittens, and the comforting warmth seemed to steal into his thinly clad body and penetrate to his heart. He did not know how to say thank you, but his eyes were grateful in a dumb fashion, and the girl smiled at him. "That's better," she said. "You can just as well wait till you are warm." t He went out into the storm, looking except for the new mittens on hi3 hands, the selfsame bedraggled boy who had entered.But these simple words of kindness, costing so little, but so pathetically new in his experience, had altered his outlook on life, and implanted in his heart inspirations he had never known before. And the girl who wiped up the drippings on the rug never guessed that her cordial interest had started a friendless boy on a long uphill climb to manliness. By Richard Miller, in Christian Witness.
