SCHOOL ttmutiondl. LESS' Lesson for July 21 lesson cuhlets and Serintur. texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS AND TRUE, WORSHIP . LESSON TEXT Deuteronomy 8:11-14, 18-20; Isaiah 40:30, 3U Mark 12:28-34. MEMORY SELECTION God Is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:24. The one true God is worthy of the wholehearted worship of all men. The second commandment, ; 'which we studied laBt week, forbids all and every idolatry and thus re I quires exclusive worship of God. 1 tit really means something in the life of a man to worship God in sincerity and truth. It makes life worthwhile both here and hereafter. , ' I. Worship Balances Life (Deut. 8:11-14). Prosperity is usually-thought to be a blessing. We fear depression and poverty. - The Lord through Moses warned his people that prosperity was dangerous. It still is, because material things have the power to so satisfy the natural desires of man as to make him forget his spiritual needs. - Is it not true that material prosperity usually brings with it a corresponding decrease in spirituality. Life values are weighed in gold, silver, wheat and iron instead of being viewed in the light of God's Word. Worship of God will balance- life for it will keep man from forget ,ting God and his laws. In the wilderness Israel had to call on God for daily bread. Now that they were ,to come into the promised land they would be apt to thiidc they produced their own food. i ' II. Worship Frotects Life (Deut. 8:18-20). 1 1 One of the most mischievous mistakes of life is the idea that man is the maker of bis own money. Only God can give man the power of hand and heart, of muscle and mind, which brings forth wealth, and then he can only- draw it out of God's resources in mine or field or sea. . This fallacy of man leads him astray, and he begins to worship the very powers he uses and finds pleasure in the gods of this world. That way leads only to eternal destruction, to spiritual death. How is man to be delivered front this awful destructive force?. By a, right . relationship to" God, by wor ship of and devotion to the Lord, j Israel bad a covenant with God, and in the keeping of it they would find deliverance from all which would pull down and destroy yes, and from the judgment of God (v. 20). i We who are believers in Christ are under the new covenant of grace. If: we have been born again we have the promise of God that we; have eternal life. , But let us be clear that it is possible for a Christian to so forget God and his cov-j enant with the Lord as to lose his fellowship and joy, and to be useless and fruitless. .' III. Worship Strengthens Life Xlsa. 40:30, 31). ; The Christian life is not an easy one to live. After all, who wants it easy? There is, however, full provision by God for the power needed to live a life as victorious and exultant as that of the soaring ; eagle. That power is for those' who "wait upon the Lord" (v. 31). ' ' It is taken for granted that those who are old may become weary and faint, but the fact is that even the youth have this disappointing experience. ' We, leaders in the church . and parents, are apt to forget that youth is of-ea a time of great struggle. ' The young man or woman must , make th choices of purposes and ideals which will determine their future. Too often youth, left unguided and without the balance of a real faith in God, makes the wrong choice's and winds up in bitter dis- ' appointment. : Only God is sufffcient for the need of our young people but he is sufficient. Let us teach our boys and girls to wait on the Lord. IV. Worship Completes Life (Mark 12:28-34). Here was a man, who, by the testimony of Jesus was "not far from the kingdom of God." He was very near to a full devotion to God in Christ.' He knew "all the answers," but he did not follow the teaching which he knew to its proper and blessed conclusion. -It is terrifying to think how close a ID can come to entering into eternal life, and yet miss it altogether. It prompts the writer of these " notes to ask you, the reader, very earnestly, , Have you entered into eternal life through Jesus Christ? "Almost'-' will not avail; you can be almost savedand eternally lost. The true nature of worship is re-, vealed in this lesson as a loving dependence on God at all times and in all circumstances. We recognize him as the one who can supply our' every need, spiritual and temporal, i We accord to him quick and full obedience. . We find in him such , complete satisfaction that we can- ' not withhold ,our love and his ,lov from cur fellow en. ' We worship

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Life" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, July 21st. The Golden Text is: "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. . . . God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light' (Psalms 118:17, 27). , , Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? Unto you, 0 men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord" (Proverbs 8:1, 4, 34, 35). 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: "When understanding changes the standpoints of life and intelligence from a material to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of Life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its divine Principle" (p. 322).

SPEAK GENTLY Speak gently: It is better far To rule by love than fear; Speak gently. Let no harsh, words mar The good we might do here.

1 to the little child,

Its love be sure to gain; Teack it in accents soft and mild, It may not long remain. ..... Speak gently to the aged one; Grieve not the careworn heart. The sands of life are nearly'run; Let such in peace depart. - "'-'.. '..' . ' Speak gently, kindly to the poor ; Let no harsh word be heard. They have enough they must endure Without an unkind word.

An old flagman in the service of an Eastern railway was stricken with a heart attack as he was running back along the track to flag a train that he knew was nearly due. Despite extreme suffering that rendered him almost unconscious, he planted his torpedoes on the rails and rolled to the side of the ' embankment as the engine thundered by. . His first words as he regained consciousness were, "Did , I stop them ?" When assured that he had, the old man turned over and said, "Well, that makes dyin' easy." He never spoke after that. Is there anything that can so comfort and compensate the human heart when life flows from it, as the consciousness of some inselfish service or generous kindness performed in behalf of others? Someone has said "God gave us memory so that we could have roses in December." It is, self-evident, . however, that no one can have roses in December, even in . memory, unless he plants and cares for them carefully in their proper season. . "You Can Tell How Far UP In Heaven A Man Has Been By The Gentleness And Beauty Of Hk Social Behavior."
