'ffj!'a V , LOYALTY TO GOD Mi LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:3-6; Joshua 24:16, 22-24; Luke 14:25-27. MEMORY SELECTION No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one. and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God ana mammon. Matthew 6:24. The first three commandments j bring man Into the presence of jGod, where he is taught how to i worship God in spirit and in truth. I "The first commandment (Exod. '20:3) bids us worship God exclusively; the second (w. 4-6) bids us .worship him spiritually. The first 'commandment forbids us to worship false gods; the second forbids us to worship the true God under false forms" (Farrar). ! We shall lose much of the value of our lesson if we confine the application of it to Israel. We miss the point if we think only of the gods of wood and stone which the heathen worship and fail to apply the truth to any and all idol worship of our day. 1 The loyalty to God of which our lesson text teaches may be sumrnarized in four words. It is a loyalty of ' j I. Purpose (Exod. 20:3).'' , ' " Jehovah means,' "I will be what I will be," or "I am that I am," '(Exod. 3:14). His very name declares God to be the self-existent, eternal one. How infinitely gracious then is the use, of the word "thy" in Exodus 10:2! He the great I AM is my God, a personal God. It must be our constant purpose to1 worship him only. There are many things concernins which we do not speak dogmat ically. There are even. Christian' doctrines about which spiritual and earnest men may honestly differ,; but regarding God we say with ab-; solute Assurance and complete exclusiveness there is but one true God. If he is what he claims to ber if God is not to be declared to be a liar, then it is beyond the realm of possibility that there could be any other God. ica who in aa eniigntenea iana ana age UQW QUWU ill iicauicmwi wvsnip -oeiure uis Buu, viu, igod of self, the god of wine, toe god of success," the god of fame, the goddess of pleasure, the god of licentiousness." The one true god says, "I am Jehovah. . . . Thou shalt have no other gods before me." H. Performance (Exod. 20:4-6). ' What is in the heart must show in the life. The second command- ' ment calls for the undivided devotion and worship of man. It expressly forbids idolatry in any form. The injunction is twoioid. ii) Men are forbidden to make any material likeness which to them represents a being to be worshiped. It matters not whether it be an image of what men believe God to . be like, or the image of an angelic! being, a heavenly body, in fact, I "anything that is in the heaven! above," or on the earth, such as a ; man or animal; or under the wa-j " ter, such as a fish. (2) If such ob-i jects have been made either by our-j selves or others we may not bowj down to them, nor render any serv-! ice to them. Let us all examine our ; - religious ceremonies and practices j in the light of God's commandment. I Observe that obedience to this : command brings rich blessing to! "thousands" (v. 6), whereas dis-j obedience is a curse not only to the man who disobeys, but also to his descendants. 1 III. Promise (Josh. 24:16, 22-24). j ' Before the aged leader of Israeli j came to the close of his life he called leaders of the people, whom; he had led in the taking of the i Promised Land, and urged them to I ' continue in the way of faith and loy-J alty to God. , j They promised rather readily, but I he made clear to them that God; was not interested in lip service.'! They were to prove their promise by putting away all strange gods.J This they agreed to do. Wherein! they failed,, they suffered . defeat, ' and wherein they kept their promise, God blessed them. We may learn from their experience. IV. Practice (Luke 14:25-27).-It is not always necessary iq' choose between our natural affec-i tions for those near to us and our I . loyalty to Christ, but if the time! comes for that decision, Christ must come first without question and " without hesitation (cf. Matt. 10:37). The word "hate" (v. 26) does not carry with it. any, thought of malice ' or personal dislike. We know from! other scriptures that we are to honor our father and our mother j (Exod. 20:12). The one who fails ' his own is declared to be worse than, an infidel (I Tim. 5:8). ' j The point is that no personal loy-: alty or responsibility is to stand in I the way or our devotion to Christ. Our own lives must be counted as a glad sacrifice to him as we take up our crossin the crucifixion of . leU-wiU and devotion to bis will

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Sacrament" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in. all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 14th. The Golden Text is: '"The cup , of blessing which we bless, is it not ( the comrrtunion of the blood of j Christ ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?" (I Corinthians 10:16). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the that is in Christ Jesus. Con sider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Timothy 2:1, 7,15). I The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the ' Christian Science textbook, "Science I and Health with Key to the Scrip-1 tures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "More ' than profession is requisite for Christian demonstration. Pew understand or adhere to Jesus' divine nrecents for living and healing. Whv? Because his precepts require the 'disciple to cut off the right hand and pluck out the right eye that is, to set aside even tne most cneriHnea beliefs and practices, to leave all for Christ" (p. 141).

MOTHER IN EVERYDAY DRESS Good morning to you, Mr. Artist,

Here's a photograph. I want you to ' paint;" Just a photograph of my mother In a style that is olden and quaint.

'Twas caught in

One day as she sat all alone; The shades of the evening were falling, t And all of her" work had been done. Don't try -to leave out any wrinkles Or bincf up a straggling hair. Tis just as she looked on that evening, I want every one to be there. Her pictures at home in the album Are fairer than this one will be As she' looked in the bloom of her beauty, But this one is dearest to me: I can look at all those and remember Her' beauty and numberless . .charms; . I can look at this one and remember Plow she rocked me to sleep in her arms. ' ?

Then make it as

Ncr think I will love it the less ; ' The deai'est thing under the heavens Is a mother in everyday dress. ,

On The Sabbath And Thru The Week

Every man, Woman and child knows there are seven days in every week and that the seventh day was set aside by our Lord for the Sabbath Day or day of rest. Six days out of every week everyday, clothes are donned and we go abcut doing our work or play as our age may determine, but on the seventh day of the week we put on our best bib and tucker and get ourselves off to God's house for worship. j There we enter into a per rod of Sab- ' bath day worship and -learn of , His : blessed word. Yes, on Sunday we take( the scriptures all dressed up. And what of the other six days of the week? Let us seek a plain, unabridged version . of the Holy word on the Sabbath that all through the week we may continue to study the Bible in EVERYDAY DRESS. . . If our Sunday worship is a peaceful, worshipful, humble everyday type of worship then the communion and fellowship of the. Holy Spirit will rest in our souls. ' God's churches of this community and this county welcome you to their sanctuarys. , !
