Bv HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago AT THE end of the road the Hebrew nation may have yes,! should have stopped to look back and see what it had accomplished.; Israel was now in exile, to return only in part, and with greatly limited greatness and glory. ! i What was God's purpose for Israel? It was threefold: j (1 To be a repository for his truth' in the earth. (2) To be a channel for the coming of the personal Redeemer to the earth. (3) To be a national witness to the one true God to the other nations of the earth. The first two they fulfilled. They kept for us the Word of God as revealed in the Old Testament, and from their nation came most of the men through whom the Holy Spirit wrote the New Testament. It was through their nation that the Son of God came as Jesus of Nazareth, our Saviour and Lord. But they failed to be the witness that God had meant them to be and for this they came1 under his judgment. -Were they then a complete failure? Certainly not our lesson makes that clear in three ways. Teachers will find the scriptures not too well selected, but they do serve as a background for these thoughts. The nation Israel showed us: L The Enlightening Word of God (Ps. 119:105). LET us never forget that the precious Word of God, which ii our light on the way through thi dark world, came to us througl Jewish hands. The Old Testament, which w come to appreciate more and mor( as we grow in grace and know!

edge of the Lord, was committed to Israel by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and preserved by the Jew

ish nation even at the cost of their

own lives. Nothing was more pre-!

clous to them than the sacred Scrips

ture. We owe them a great debt of!

gratitude, and ought to honor thera' for their service to God and man. - ---'-- - We may say then that the Bible, unsurpassed in all the world of literature, and beyond comparison as the guiding light for man's heart and life, was given to us through Israel. We could well say a hearty "Thank you" for that ripht now if we have never done It before! i II. The Exalted Worship of God (Isa. 2:2-4). ' ' TTIIE prophet looks Into the future i to Ifcat glorious and blessed dayj ivhen the nations shall have learned to live in peace and righteousness, I

A-hen war shall be no more, and :he' worship of God shall be the desire and the joy of men.

When will that day come? Will it ' be-brought in by the efforts of the' church, or by conferences of nation-l al leaders? Not for a moment would' we-minimize the value of .every true;

effort to spread peace and righteousness through the earth. We hono those who faithfully try to bring con-.

cord in the affairs of men. But the clear teaching of Scripture, which has been so abundantly proved , by experience, Is that we can expect the delightful condition of 'which Isaiah speaks only when the Prince of Peace himself has returned to reign, namely, our Lord and Saviour and ' coming King, Jesus Christ. We, look for that day! ,

In that blessed time Israel shall worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, even as their history under the hand of God in days past was one of true worship of the Lord. - Here again the'y made an enduring contribution to the life of the world. Then note their witness to III. The Effective Work of God (Mic. 6:1-8). WE HAVE here words of another Wphrpw nrnnhpt TTp enealrc

oFGod's plain dealings with his peo-i pie,, his judgment upon. their sin, and the need of a careful and a worthy walk before him. ; j Eack of all the admonition and; appeal is the remembrance of how1 Gad had worked on behalf of IsraeL delivering them from bondage, giving them effective leaders, going before them in battle, in fact, prov-1 ing his goodness and love by bis mighty works. .' Israel's service for God and man Is an example of what God can and will do for those vho obey him and walk with him. It is equally true that they thus reveal the inevitable judgment which comes upon a sinful and disobedient nation. Let us not miss that lesson, for we need it today.

"nicotian Sripnre." is the sub

ject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, June 29. , The Golden Text is: "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways" (Job 22:21, 26-28). 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: "'Eternal Truth is changing the universe. As mortals drop off their Mental swaddling-clothes, thought expands into expression. "Let there be light," is the perpetual demand of Truth and Love, changing chaos dnto order and discord into the 'music of the spheres" (p. 255).

Yes, this Is the season in which" the people ol tHIs great" country pauses to celebrate the anniversary of its independence. The children of the picture may riot understand the full meaning 61 ireedom and independence, but they know it means something grand and glorious something that calls for parading and drum beating and flagwaving. - It is a wise custom which" prompts us to cultivate in tKe minds of our; children a deep and abiding love of their country and a sense of responsibility for its safety and welfare. No nation can be great without patriotic citizens. ' ' The two great factors in our national growth and prosperity Have Heen patrioiisrr. and faith. As we walked through the years, alongside our duties and responsibilities as citizens, we planted our national motto, "in God We Trust." ' . The churches' of America are the custodians of our religious faitK, Through them we have imparted to the people a knowledge. of God and a sense of His overruling providence. They have played a. great part in the building of this nation. '
