m TOMfli Hj. i t -j JP' - -IKE LF SPEAKS Internal tonal Uniform Stinday School Lessons By PH. KENNETH J. FOREMAN ; " SCRIPTURE : Genesis 1 1 :27 25 : 11. DEVOTIONAL READING: Hebrews :ii:mo. , , , . God's Vie w of People Lesson for October 10, 1948 '" V.OU can learn more about hu-'-man nature from. reading the : Bible than from living in New York," said a Yale professor who' had tried it both ways. He was right; for in New "York you are ' likely , to . see your neighbors only ' on the outside, while in the Bible you are introduced to ..people on the in- : side, One great value " of the Bible is its plain stories about Br. Foreman . people, all sorts of people simple, great, wjse,' foolish, saints and sin- , ners. They lived thousands of miles from here, and thousands of years ago. They dressed differently and many of them spoke in languages now dead. . Yet somehow they live " in these inspired stories. . Saints . ' NE of the great biographies of the Bible is that of Abraham.; If you will read it in Genesis you will see it is not like one of our mod-i em biographies; it does not follow! a continuous line, but consists of short incidents strung together' sometimes without connection. It Is more like an album of pictures than like a movie. Yet putting all the pictures together ' we get an impression of a remarkable man. ;' Indeed, Abraham was one of the! most remarkable men who ever) lived. Without a church, without a Bible, without prophet or priest on tradition, born in a nation and a family that ''worshiped other gods,") j as Joshua said later, somehow Abra-j ham came to know that there is but one God, and not only to know that! i as a fact but to know that God as a! friend. (In fact, Abraham's name among the Arabs to this day is "The Friend.") We must call Abraham one of the great religious geniuses I of all human history. I Yet he does not stand alone. The Bible is a book of saints; the letter! i to the Hebrews calls the roll of! pome, and ends by saying time Is too "Short -to name -then IL j' Now a saint Is not a person ' who lives totally without sin. A saint Is one in whose life goodness Is stronger than evil; a saint is one who actually lives as a friend of God, for whom God is the central fact in all . his life. Sinners THESE are no whitewashed plaster saints, the great and small figures of the Bible stories. They come before us just as they were. Abraham, for example, at times wts a coward, a liar, a bigamist, a Slave-holder. , We must not suppose that everything any character in the Bible did was right, or Is right today. The writers simply tell the stories, seldom using adjectives like "bad" -or "good" or "noble" or "mean." We are left to make our own judgments. We are shown what effects sin has on men, we see how evil spreads by suggestion and imitation, we see how temptation works. God inspired the biographers; but. he does not inspire men to tell lies or to cover up evil by calling it good. So do not be shocked to find that even a saint like Abraham had feet of clay. The important, things about him are the good, not the bad. The Light That Shines FURTHERMORE, when you read " these Bible biographies, you can trace a very interesting story through them! all: namely the story of the human understanding of Right and Wrong. But in Old Testament times, as in the case of Abraham, we most remember they were in the -dawn-years before the sunlight of Christ had risen. Some of the things Abraham did would get him Into jail nowadays; but some of those very acts were . then the mark of a gentleman. Sometimes when you are discouraged and think the world is growing j worse, all you need to do is to think back to some of these old Bible stories. What the very best 'people did then. is now by Christians seen to be not always good. t The human race has progressed, "and nowhere more than in its knowledge of what is right to do. And even so, a man . like Abraham, as good and great as he was, shines with an' even brighter light across the centuries, challenging us to rise .sabove our times as he often rose above his own.

AT THE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?" is the. subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 10. The Golden Text is: "0 Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me" (Psalms 30:2). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory" (Isaiah 45:22,24,25). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Man, governed by his Maker, having no other Mind, planted on the Evangelist's statement that 'all things were made by Him (the Word of God) ; and without Him was not anything made that was made,' can triumph over sin, sickness, and death," (p. 231). "Sin, sickness, and death must disappear to give place to the facts which belong to immorr talman" (p. 476). I ST. MARY'S CHURCH I Mass. Schedule Oct. 10 Dugger, 8:00. Sullivan, 10:00.

This Is a picture of a lawyer's son beginning his studies in . -- ' - - corpus juris, r , , , Father has won many a case on the legal points and precedents he gleans from these books. But Junior is not going to be so sucessful in his legal research. He doesn't know what he's looking for . . . and even if he did, he wouldn't know how to find it! Purpose and Method! These are what Junior lacks. And purpose and method are essential, not only to research, but to LIFE. There are no more tragic figures on earth than the men and women who have found neither purpose nor method in living. The Church can help our youngsters discover the spiritual truths which 'give PURPOSE to life. And the Church can train them in the beautiful METHOD of living which Jesus Christ, taught men.
