IF YOU knew exactly what God wanted you to do, would you do it? Of course you would. The trouble Is: How does any one know what God's will Is?

For example,, a v M aV OTnM I. &

thinking about his life's Work; what shall he choose? Most young men would do What they, were sure" God called them to do, but what is a call? ; The story of

Isaiah throws some light on this problem. (We are beginning this week a three months study of the great prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah.) True, he lived some 2700 years ago, and half way to the other side of the world; but human nature has not changed , in 2700 years. ' 1 From Man about Town To Man of God TSAIAH was a young man about lown, in the small but wealthy city of Jerusalem, about 700 years before Christ, fie was a personal friend of all the important people,

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Unreality" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 2. " The Golden Text is: "The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit" (Proverbs 12:5). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:7-9). 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: "God is Mind, and God is infinite; hence all is Mind" (p. 492). "We can have but one Mind, if that one is infinite" (p. 469). "Divine Science explains the abstract statement that there is one Mind by the following self-evident proposition: K God. or goo), is real, then evil,, the ,unlikeness of God, is unreal. And evil can only seem to be real by giving reality to the unreal" (p. 470).

Perhaps if we had been there with a camera and a wire tecordc? we might have been able to photograph the seraphim and take down their cries, just as Isaiah saw and beard them. What we do know is that that experience changed Isaiah's life. Up-to that time- (on his own showing) he had been a "man of unclean lips;" from that time on he began to be a spokesman for the Lord. Let us try to say what the stojry of that life-changing vision, that call, means in terms of our own experience. '

The Flame of God FIRST tjhere was the overwhelming sense of God's reality and power and holy majesty. No one can ever experience a call who does not take God seriously. . JV God "afar off," a God who is only a problem, an idea, ' -hypothesis, never called any one. God alone can make him- ' self real to man; and only a man with a real sense of a living God is going to hear his :

rail. '

Next came Isaiah's realization of, his own unfitness and sin. A man who feels equal to a great task is probably not equal to it. "Them as knows nawthin' fears nawthin'," as the Irish say. A man who . feels good enough to serve God, just as he is, is not good enough. A man without a sense of sin is too full of it. Then comes the burning coal from the altar; Isaiah feels that his guilt is gone. No one can fully do God's will with an uuforgiven heart. Uaiah was not sinless at one stroke, of course, yet it is possible to turn from all known sin: it is jpossible to devote one's loyalty tr God'; and this Isaiah did. It was only then that be heard the call: Whom shall I send? In modern and less picturesque language, Isaiah was conscious of a need he had not -felt before that is, of tSSd's need, of his people's need. ..What' those needs were will come out in later studies. The point is that young Isaiah, who hitherto had lived only for himself. ;.now saw the need of the city and "the 'people among whom he lived. . "Here Am 1; Send Me." - THEN comes the last ' stage . Isaiah's willing offer of himself. His"1, great talent was the ability to use ' language. He could make words march and sing as few men of ny race . have done. But up to that time, it seems, his gift of eloquence had been used chiefly :in ielling dirty stories. , ' "Jtfow he has. repented, ' and

been forgiven, and he says to God: Use me. His voice, his -knowledge, his eloquence, which he had been using against God (or at best, only for Isaiah) be was now to use for God and man.', So there is a : call: A sense of God, near ' and : commanding and jholy; repentance; -forgiveness; a ; sense of need; willingness to demote, all one's gifts to fill that need.

Th Indians could send a rallying call many, many miles by drumsr'Each drummer, stationed on a 'lonely ridge, would listen for the sound of distant drums, and relay the message to others waiting across the valley. Overnight a dozen tribes could be rallied to a common cause. We don't need such crude methods of communication today. Men with a common purpose can join forces around the world at a jre-arranged time... World Wide Communion Sunday is such an expression of unity. In every Christian land the church bells will summon men and women to the Lord's Supper on this Sunday. And the universality of this great religious event will not depend on bells relaying the message from town to town. It will depend on folks like yourself coming to their Church to receive this Holy Sacrament. ,
