His Hand in History

Lesson for October 24, 1948

Dr. Foreman

CUPPOSE you were given a long w flexible wire and were asked to arrange it on a pattern which would represent history, what would you do to it? Some

people would cut that wire into little bits and let them fall in a pile like jackstraws. History, they would say, is a meaningless collection of disconnected eventsit has no real pattern. Someone else

would arrange the wire like a long arrow pointing upward; others would make it into an arrow pointing downward; these would be the pure optimists and pessimists among historians. - Others would arrange It is a series of up-and-down curves history, they would say, sometimes goes up and sometimes down, but it never gets, anywhere. Others again would make an immense circle; history goes around and around in cycles, repeating itself. Others still might take that wire and shape it into a kind of spiral, almost repeating itself but never quite, often seeming to go backward but actually making some progress. God's Chosen People A GOOD deal of the Old Testament is taken up with history. Starting with Genesis and going through Esther, most of what you read- is history. But it is not mere chrorftcles, that is to say it is not a mere listing of events. The historical parts of the Bible were written by men who had a theory of history. They would agree that the Golden Age is ahead of us, not behind. They would all agree that the most important figure in human history is not a human being at all, but God the Creator. They would all agree that his hand can be seen if you look for it in the

"Probation after Death" is the

subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 24. j The Golden Text is: "If any man ' be in Christ, he is a new creature: I old things are passed away; behold, 1 all things are become new" (II Corinthians 5:17).

Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" (I Corinthians 15:20, 23-26). 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: "The Master said plainly that physique was not Spirit, and after his resurrection he proved to the physical senses that his body was not changed until he himself ascended, or, in other words, rose even higher in the understanding of Spirit, God" (p. 46).

I events of man's existence here. .Audthey.ailr afTu-pv tha,t.amang all the nations of the earth there was one which could be called truly God's chosen people, the little nation called Israel, the people we

miow as the Jews. The whole of Hebrew history is a sort of sermon on this text: Righteousness exaltcth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The history of any nation, ancient or modern, would illustrate that text just as well; only the Israelite historians saw it most clearly. They showed how, when their people followed God's leading and his - laws, they prospered; when they went their own stupid, selfish ways they suffered. Somehow Good ONE great lesson the Old Testament history teaches is that God's will is good, and that when man defies and disobeys that will, he does it to his own destruction,' but that God can bring good out of evil. ; People often act from bad mo-' lives; yet even the worst of motives God can overrule. David waded in blood to his. throne, and ae treated cruelly many of his enemies. That was not good; yet God brought out of that a national independence and strength. David put Solomon on the throne because be was the son . of his favorite wife; that was pure favoritism. Yet God brought good out of a choice which was selfish.

' When the Israelites were tempted to fall for the cheap and nasty gods whose shrines filled the land, that was bad; but it gave the prophets their great opportunity to make perfectly clear the difference be- '. tween false and true religion. ... The Voice of God j HISTORY is no bucket of ashes. If you have ears to listen, it is the voice of God. These ancient tales of a nation long since dead, that lived n all scarce 500 years, :arry God's voice to us today. 1 The diseases which are fatal to a nation's life are here de- ; scribed; the foundations on 1 which alone true national welfare can be built are made quite plain. ' Up to now, all nations have pershed sooner or later. We can see some of them decaying in our own time. That is because no nation ever yet has built its life on God's design. . But the pattern is there,! the lesson has been written. God still waits for a people who will learn his lesson in how to live.

MotHer just can't resist Teddie's winning smile, and in another minute he goes skipping out the door with her consent. And though Mrs. Jones is glad to see her little son so happy, she cannot help worrying. Busy traffic . . . older children ... a thousand things might happen to Teddie while lie's away from the protection of his home and his parents. But he must learn to look out for himself. There are even greater dangers which Teddie must face as his life unfolds. Without religious training Teddie might some day go out of this door, and be no longer the same fine son of which his mother is so proud. While he is yet young, he must have that spiritual instruction so necessary to make him a self-dependent and successful young man. He must have the faith and courage to judge right and wrong. Ever present, and willing to help, the churches of our communities stand like great spiritual HOMES, offering protection and Christian training to the children of the land . . . your children!
