SUNDAY SCHOOt Jbtlerttatt'onal LESSON -:- Lesson for June 16 lesson subjects and Scripture text selected and copyrighted by International Council of Beligious Education; used by permission. .v" LEARNING ABOUt ' THE KINGDOM ttSSON TEXT Luke 9:23, 24, 48-48, 7-62; 11:1-4; 17:20, 21. MEMORY SELECTION Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as It is Ja heaven. Matthew 6:10. . .

' Following Christ calls for the best In man. Weak-kneed and watered-; out religious philosophies and activities have no right to call menu elves Christian. Let us put away these insipid Imitations of Christianity, which so often masquerade under its name,1 Bnd face our time with a call to' discipleship which demands every fine, noble, manly and womanly i quality. . ( L Denial of Self (Luke 9:23, 24): 1 A cross that speaks at once of iuffering and death. We may as .well face it. ' The Lord never intended it to be an easy thing to follow him. A man must lose his life for Christ if he is to win it. i Note that the cross we bear does not refer to the trials or vexations of life. We should bear those as Christians, but there is something else in mind; namely, the complete denial pf self-will, and the eager desire td. do only God's will. And note also that this is required of every true Christian, not just of a few .Who are especially "consecrated." ' Do you qualify? If so look at the ' next point. II. Humility of Heart (Luke 9:4648)j ' . The world looks up to the great, the mighty, and the rich. The disciples had caught that, fever and

wee quarreling about who was to be greatest. What a tragic and disgraceful picture! . But is it any different in the church today? Men are still determined to be "Mr. Big" - The follower of Jesus sees beyond the false earthly standard of greatness and in humility ministers to ." the little child. And 16! he has received and served Jesus Christ himself, and has become greater than all the would-be great ones. Those about him may not see it, but God does, and in due time others shalJ . also know of it. III. Determination of Purpose ' .(Luke 9:57-62). ' , N

'' Foifowing Christ . Is more than' singing glibly or carelessly, "I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord." The . one who starts out with him is to count the cost (Luke ' 14:28-33). He must expect the same treatment as Christ (II Tim. 3:12) arid be Willing to take it gladly .(John 15:20; I Pet. 2:21).

We ought to make this plain to professed believers. Tell young people the truth and you will see " that they are ready to respond to it. They are willing to give themi . selves sacrificially for causes of this earth why not for Christ? Christianity is considerate and courteous, and our Lord is not here suggesting any neglect of the duties or amenities of life. The point is rather that the Lord must have first "place whatever else may call for second thought. ," IV. Prayer .of Faith (Luke 11:14). The one who is to follow Jesus must know how to pray and td pray in faith. He must know how to hold tip the world td God, and get things from God for this needy world. ; ' There is no one who can teach us to pray belter than Jesus, for he practiced what he preached. He prayed. It was seeing him pray that led the disciples to ask him to "teach them to pray. Jenus taught his disciples a modal prayer. This prayer opens with a recognition of God as Father, followed by a reverent petition that his name may be hallowed; that is, that he may have glory as his will is done and his kingdom established In the hearts of men. Those who have that attitude are ready to ask for the supply of dally needs, and above all, forgiveness of sin and deliverance from temptation. . , Note that verse 4 is not the prayer of the unsaved for forgiveness and regeneration, for that is all of grace (Eph. 2:8). "The man outside (of the kingdom) gets his forgiveness with no condition; but once he is in the kingdom of the Son of God's love, he lives within the laws of that kingdom. Then he does not get forgiveness unless he is ready to forgive, unless he. has forgiven" (Morgan). . V. Recognition of Christ (Luke 17: 20, 21). The . disciples thought . of the kingdom. in terms of "when"; they should have asked "what," or even better "who," for the kingdom was . present and operative right then because the King was there. That is the true meaning of "with- '.' in" (v. 21), which really means "in . V your midst.." It does not mean that the kingdom of God was within the '. hearts of -the Pharisees, or within the social order, but that in the "person of the King, the kingdom itself was in their midst. Theyre -. ' ; jected him, and so also his kingdom. What about us? Is he your Kingft p.r.,4e 7.m rticet to? .

AT THE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES ' ' , "God the Preserver of Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, June 16. The Golden Text is: "Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, 0 Lord: Let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me" (Psalms 40: 11). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore" (Psalms 121: 5, 8). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Life is reflected in existence, Truth in truthfulness, God in goodness, which impart their own peace and permanence. . . The grass beneath our feet silently exclaims, 'The meek shall inherit the earth!' " (P. 516). ST. MARY CHURCH Mass Schedule June 16th, 1946 Sullivan, 7:30. Shelburn, 9:30.

If you cannot preach the gospel Where the learned and gifted meet, , Winning praise from rich and noble, Sitting in the highest seat; You can gather in the children, Who in streets, neglected, stray; You can Calvary's story tell them, You can teach them how to pray. If you cannot in the temple, Where the gay and wealthy throng, Please them with the chanted measure, Swell with them the choral song; Ycu can seek the dreary dwelling, Where the poor and friendless stay; You can comfort, aid and cheer them, Point to heaven and lead the way. If you cannot lead devotion Where assembled Christians pray; If you find you lack the talent There to speak, to edify; You can In the closet enter, Only to the Savior known; You can humbly ask His blessing On the seed by others sown. j Do net,' then, sit idly waiting For some greater work to do. ' Precious time is swiftly passing, And eternity's in view. Oh, improve the golden season; Grasp the moments as they fly. If you'd earnest be for Jesus, Nows the time! You soon must die!

The times demand dexterity and zeal. Immediate action is often deluded by the mirage of distance. How much time have we?. We are, say twenty years old. In the next forty-five years we will sleep about fifteen years, eat three years, and be lucky if we have two hours daily for self-improvement. We will have somethng like twenty-five years in which to work, taking for granted that we will be healthy during that period of time. When one tries merely to get a kick out of life, he usually kicks himself out of life in his attempts. Young people have really done things. At the age of twenty-four, Pitt was Prime Minister of England. Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet," generally considered his greatest play, " when he was thirty-seven. Mozart died at thirty-six. Newton, at twenty-five, discovered the law of gravitation. Watt invented the steam engine before he was thirty years of age. Edward Bok was editor of the Ladies' Home Journal at twenty-five. Bryant was reported to have written "Thanatopsis" at the age of seventeen. Many other young people are striving to make this "ONE WORLD." Jesus redeemed the world when He was about thirty-three. Are our spare moments utilized most advantageously? Usually one thinks that the purpose of the flywheel of a car is to contact cogs of a gear, but it has another use. When the pistons reach the end of their strokes, part of the momentum which is stored up on the flywheel carries the pistons past dead center, and thus enables the engine to function. I j Good habits are the stored-up e'n'efg of the mind tor-carry us past r" the dead centers of life when some temptation catches our attention 1 and appeals to our emotions. By starting young, we can have a greater supply of energy for useful, Christian leadership. So many things are to be learned in so little time that the actual time for efficient work is very short.
