CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

"Mind" is the subject of the Les

son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August 24. The Golden Text is: "Righteous art thou, 0 Lord, and upright are thy judgments. . . t Give me understanding, and I shall live" (Psalms 119:137, 144). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel" (Philippians 1, 27). "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others" (Philippians 2:4). 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: "Selfishness tips the beam of human existence towards the side of error, not towards Truth. Denial of the oneness of' Mind throws our weight into the scale, not of Spirit, God, good, but of matter. When we fully understand our relation to the Divine, we can have no other Mind but His, no other Love, wisdom, or Truth, no other sense of Life, and no consciousness of the existence of matter or error" (p. 205-206).

By WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. THE Bible's presentation of the subject of uprightness of living, or plain, downright honesty in everyday contacts, Is recognized by all who have given any attention to what It has to say. The high ethical standard demanded by the Word of God is another evidence of its divine origin. Were men to evolve a moral standard of their own, it is quite evident that that standard would not be very much higher than their own attainments; in fact, the probability is that the standard would be lower than the attainment of some. However, the Bible allows for no deviation from the standard. We who by nature are the children of wrath nave undoubtedly failed when we measure our lives against God's pattern. How needful Is God's work of providing and effecting salvation! Those who have been born of God are then confronted with living a life that meets the divine standard. I. A Plea for Honesty (Prov. 3:3). HOW good it is when the Christian has a reputation for integrity in all nis dealings. However, that outward manifestation is possible only If there is inward reality. Therefore, we move in order of emphasis to the greater truth at the conclusion of the verse. Truth is to be written upon the tablet of the heart. , Here Is the plea for heart honi esty. It is not enough by plausible j argument or by feigned conduct f to appear honest before, men. It Is necessary rather to have moj tives so sincere, to have a heart , so honest, that all we do and say will reflect a character that is i honorable. ' t ,

It is out of the fullness of the

heart that man speaketh. As the heart is, so is the man. Let ui giv attention therefore to this word .from God. H. A Factual Presentation of Honesty (Prov. 11: 1, 8; 12: 17-22; 14:5). HrtTTTIPtll - . t I i

niLOA passages vi ocripiure . i brins to our attention the conse- !

quences of dishonesty as well as the

rewards of honesty. ' For example, we know that dishonesty is an abomination to God (Prov. 11:1; 12:22); that perversity of heart has its own reward, In that the perpetrator" of evil is sooner or later ensnared in his own sin (Prov. 11:3); that a lying tongue may be victorious, but that victory is short lived (Prov. 12:19). On the other hand, the rewards ' of honesty are also made appar- ; ent, for we are told that probity I of character is God's delight ' (Prov. 11:1; 12:22); that the very , integrity of the npright shall be a ' ( guide to them (Prov. 11:3); that f blessings to others flow from the i tongue of the wise (Prov. 12:18); : ! and that the lip of truth shall be ' established forever (Prov. 12:19). , in. God and the Life of Honesty (Prov. 23:10, 11). THE reference here to the ancient landmark has to do with 'the removal of such evidences as would prove the claim of individuals to certain property. ' We are to respect the rights of , others. Honesty involves more than correctness of speech; it im-.-. plies Tightness of life. No subtlety ; of reasoning can lead us" to the conclusion that we may have God's approval if by unfair means we take that which be i longs to another. Particular attention is given, to the fact that we are to have regard for the fatherless. The Word of God constantly gives special attention to the fatherless and the widows. It would seem that God will particularly mark as amiss any unfair advantage taken over these individuals. In fact, this text stresses that God as their Redeemer will plead their cause against anyone taking advantage of them. Of course, there can, be only one result when God opposes, and that is disaster to the individual who occasions .his wrath. Perhaps it Is that very sense of '. helplessness that makes the fa- , therless depend upon him. It is certain that until we feel our need ; of God, we shall go on in our selfsufficiency without him. When our , ! own lack of strength becomes apparent, then it is we turn to him, and then it is that he is willing to be our Redeemer. " Let us dare to face the implication of these texts. Unless we com

mend our, God , to men by our up'right'hyeswe, 'shall have 'to 'suffer CHURCH NOTICE

A word about words. The eternal God knows every word vhat we speak. "For there is not a word in my tongue but, O Lord thou knowest it altogether.". Our words reveal our characters. The use of the tongue affects -our lives. The tongue is also an instrument of life or death to others around us. So the Apostle James tells us chapter three, verses five an six. Even as the tongue isva little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little :'ire kindleth. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, rind setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set oh fire of hell.

Hi

The little boy in the picture is practicing one of the earliest and most essential arts of life the art of balance. His real problem is to keep the weight of his body evenly distributed so that the line of gravity passes through his feet. It is the first lesson a child or young animal must learn in assuming an upright position. ' Children derive much pleasure and satisfaction from their ability to walk a wall or narrow curb or rail fence. It gives them a ense of accomplishment when they are able to perform these feats without falling. Balance is important not only in physical posture and movement, Hut iri all the relations of life. It is especially important for children, as well as older people, to learn to keep their balance, mentally, morally and spiritually. The life without religion is an unbalanced life. Man needs religion and the consciousness of God to keep him from falling under the weight, pf temporal cares. The ChurcK provides religious instruction and spiritual inspiration foi all who seek its ministrations. -
