God’s New Men Lesson for October 11. 1953

too large an order, what will it take to improve the world we have’ Os course any little thing may improve It a little. A better climate where you live; better laws, a more efficient police force, better equipment for schools and more adequate salaries for teachers; better trade relations with other nations, better government; all these would probably improve the world somewhat. But all the schemes for the improvement of society have struck one rock: the jagged fact of human nature. • • • Wanted: New Men! Everybody knows that, to be sure So when Christians say that what the world needs more than
anything else, to make it a better world, is better people, we don't get an argument from anybody who has thought about it. Everybody says. Amen! We do get an argument over the question: How do we get our new

men to build the new world"’ Christians above all should be interested tn this question, and indeed they should be working at it. It is not one of theSe questions that just solves itself if you let it alone. Consider some of the wrong answers to the problem of how men can be produced One is the lazy answer: Just leave the human race alone, they'll do all right, human beings just naturally have so much good m them that if the ' Dogooders" will just keep their hands off. everything will keep right on improving Os course that's nonsense. as any one can tell who will take a close look at any part of the world that has been left alone for some time A world full of people left to do as they please will soon be a mess Another wrong answer is Improve the breed Take care of heredity, weed out the urjfit. let laws of eugenics improve humanity. Well, that won’t w> i k because -sail tha' careful breeding can accomplish is no more than improving people's bodies and minds e e • God’s Design Not that eugenics isn't a good thing so far as it g«»c< So is anything that really improves people, as <vcn-barber and beaut> ' , do. a little But nothing that works on man from- -the outside will improve him on the inside -as he needs to be improved In fact, what the Bible tells us is the simple truth that man needs not so much to be, improved as to be, made over We don’t need revised men. revamped men re-conditioned men; we • I u The Bi; ’■ -wlk us the truth, that man’s nature has been so affected by sin that nothing short of a radical operation will effect a cure. Madame Perkins tells a story of F D Roosevelt, that once over a weekend he took home with him some book by Soren Kierkegaard a crabbad but honest Christian philosopher F. D R turned up Monday morning with what to him was a brand-new idea which he had learned from Kierkegaard “Now I know what's the matter with people.” he said. "They're bad!” The odd thing about that was that F D. R. was an Episcopalian, and at his own church he must often have joined in the General Confession: "We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not t<» have done, and there is no health m us ' No wonder Jesus said: “Ye must be bom again!” • • • The Secret The secret in away is simple, but it seems so simple that many persons miss it. How is a marF born again’ What does he have to do to be bom again? The truth is; Nothing. The secret is: God in the heart What do you do to make your home bright’ You just pull up the shades What do you do to have God’s Spirit in your heart* Ask him. Open the door. You do not have to create the sun. it is out there ready to come in,’ You can keep it out if you insist but you never have to coax it; you can’t pay it to come in. Just raise the shades and in it just as there is substitute for sunshine, there is no substitute for God. You. Without God. are part of the problem of the world You. with God. you. changed by Him. are part of God’s design for his better world. <BM*O •• B«U1B»» (BSTriskua Sy Ike Dtvtelßß et CkrteUaa EdseAUaa.

The Bible study beginning with the Old Testament got off with a good start. Since the Bible has the greatest distribution of any book, the purpose of the class was to discover the reason for Its popularity. To discover what Influence It has. exerted and is exerting upon the life of the world outside of the Church, upon political.. social, and upon economic life. That whatever influence the Bible has in the world is the result of Christian individuals or of the church. Genesis deals with the creation of the world as a universe. The writer of Genesis sees thfe creation unfolding In an orderly way. Out of chaos step by step, comes the world, of which man is the, crown, and of his career upon earth. What interests the writer of Genesis is man's place in the world. He begins not with the universe but with man. He is interested in man as the keeper of the earth and master of all other creatures. His chief Interest is what has happened to man since. The next study will be “Man’s Primitive Condition, and The Descendants of Adam.” Church of The Brethren Samuel W Longenecker. Elder. Rev.

ASA BOY of fourteen Charles H. Brantley, Huntsville, Alabama, once ** made preparations for the annual trip to the boy scout camp. Thirty boys from his home town were making the trip, and they were to meet at a designated place and there board a chartered bus for the trip to camp. Between Charles' home and the bus were several houses which he
had to pass carrying his sack filled with supplies. Since it was Sunday he did not want to be seen carrying that sack, he was afraid of what people might say about him. Very soon a fellow Boy Scout came by and he agreed to carry Charles* sack in addition to his own for five cents. Such little incidents as that occurred many times in the years that followed, and Charles soon found that his fears were getting the best of him and he was worrying about almost everything. After graduating from high school he enrolled in college twice, only to give some excuse for not attending when the day arrived.
In 1945 he entered the army and was sent to a camp a thousand miles from home. Practically all the men in camp were many miles from home and most of them had worries. Since it was next to impossible to avoid being part of a group at all times, Charles made up his mind that he would make the best of everything. Instead of telling everybody about his own problems, he listened to the other fellow. Since he was willing to listen nearly all the men eventually came to him with their stories. His reason for telling this to you is to suggest that you do all you can in any situation, then forget it. for he applied this advice to his own problems and found that it worked. No longer does he worry about what people think of him. for he Is firmly convinced that most people are too busy worrying about themselves to take the time to give him a thought, and. if he has done the best he can. worrying about what people might think of him certainly won't make them think any differently.
