SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Inetltute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 9. ABSTINENCE FOR OTHERS’ BAKE. (World’* Temperance Bunday.) I.KSSON TEXT—Rom. 14:7-21. GOLDEN TEXT—"it la not good to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth." Rom. 14:21. Paul was in Corinth, a city of lux ury, learning and licentiousness when he wrote thta letter to the believer# la Rome, a letter of profound logic and ethlca an well as a profound etudx In psychology and philosophy. I. None of us llveth to himself," vv. 7-11. Paul begins this chapter by giving a caution ae to doubtful dispu tations, "Judgments upon thoughts," whether It be in the matter of eating herbs or meats, or In the observance of sot days. Who are we but fellow servants (v. 4) of Qod? About auch things as habits and observance of days we must each be assured in our own mlnde, (v. 5), but while that Is true yet, "none llveth to himself” (v. 7), for "we are the Lord's" (v. 8). He is the universal Lord, both of the living and the dead, (v. 9). What folly, therefore, for any believer to set him self up In Judgment upon his brother. Four Things Suggested. 11. "Give an account to God,” vv. 12-18. Verse 12 suggests four things: (1) A universal summons, "each one of us,” great and small, obscure or fa mous, each one must appear, non* overlooked, none excluded, none ex cused. (2) A particular summons, “each one of us,” not en masse, but as separate units. (8> A purposeful summons, "to give account,” not of others but each of htmaelf. It will not be "blind Justice" that shall await us there, but a holy God, on* who knows all, sees all, every thought and Imagi nation of the human heart (Gen. 6:6) and whose judgment will be righteous. (4) A rightful summons, because of Its source, "before God.” and shall not the Judge of the whole earth do right? No excuse because of the failure of others will avail, no subterfuge be ac ceptable, "strict Justice” will condemn. Man-made laws and ordinances as to what we eat or what days we may ob serve will then be revealed In the white light of the God whose name Is love. In the light of such a prospect how pertinent therefore that we turn (v. 13), from judging others and look well to our own conduct, lest that con duct become a rock of stumbling to other and weaker brethren. Another Law. 111. "Follow after things which make for peace,” vv. 19-23. To follow that which shall edify is to exercise the "law of liberty.” James In his epistle (1:26, 1:12) tells us to look Into this law and to continue therein for by it we shall be Judged, yet there Is still another law, "the royal law” (2:8, Matt. 22:36-40), the fulfilling of which will settle every question of man’s re lation to man. We should so use our liberty that It be not evil spoken of or become a rock of stumbling to any. Whether or not tho kingdom of Qod bo in us, or we in the kingdom, de pends not upon the scrupulous observ ance of ordinances either as to eat ing, or the observance of days, but rather in the manifest righteousness of our lives and In having peace In our hearts, ch. 15:13, being filled with "Joy in the Holy Spirit’’ v. 17. Therefore, If to eat meat shall cause my brother to stumble or to be made weak (v. 21) ”1 will eat no flesh for overmore,’’ I. Cor. 8:13. All of this leads up to the true prin ciple of total abstinence as revealed In verse 21, "It Is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stum bleth or Is offended.” This doe# not alone apply to the Great American Juggernaut, the commercialised liquor traffic, which, according to the United States Supreme court, has no legal ground upon which to stand. When the members of the church of God In this "land of liberty” shall each be governed by this principle It will not be long before the liquor problem any many other questions that are troubling us will be settled. The real question will not be “Is It wrong?” but rather, "How will it affect my brother?” All meats are clean, we know’ that. Acts 10:16, but we also know that many cannot eat, cannot participate in our acts, with a clear conscience because in so taking part there comes before the mind of the weaker brother the evil asaoclatlons and practices which so frequently ac company such acts or such eating. Our Indulgence, no matter how inno cent and entirely harmless tt may be to us, is therefore not to be thought of. Thie settles the drink question, the tobacco habit, dancing, card play ing, theater going, and all "question able amusements.” For once teach a temperance lesson not on the ground of the harrowing effects of this awful traffic, but try to show that Intemperance Is largely the result of selfishness. Show how less selfishness in our social relations would help to keep men away from the saloon. Less selfishness In money would keep us from accepting bloody tax money. Less selfishness on the part of churches by activities during the week would keep children and young people from growing familiar with and finally embracing the mon ster vice. Many ancient authorities Insert after Ch. 14, Ch. 16:26-27, Search Me! Br KEV PARLEY E. ZARTMANN. D.O. Ikm<l Funs— Dhiism hUmb BAR Is*—.. Qimm TEXT—Search ms. O God. end know mr heart, try m*. and know my thoughts and se* If thsri b any wicked way la m. and land ms In the way svsrlasdag. Psalm l 2S-24. There ts a way of life that tran scends all other*, more delightful as w* go on In It. and more blessed at th* end—lt is the way everlast ing. Here the Psalmist prays that he may be led In such a way. and that such heart • searching will take place that he may not miss that way. The Christian GGGGGG will pray this prayer, should pray It dally; for, conscious of his fellowship with God. he would have It proven and would have taken from him every thing hindering such fellowship. But the sinner will pray this prayer, h# must pray It. In his case, conscious ness of God as revealed here leads to terror because of sin and desire for forgiveness, acceptance and cleansing. The Christian aee# how far short he Is of the glory of God and his cry is that nothing may Interfere with com plete conformity, and for this he needs faith, justifying and sanctifying In addition, the sinner needs saving faith before he finds his feet In the first steps of the way everlasting. Note the steps by which tbs sinner comes to this cry - Search me. Divine Omniscience God knows me. and knows all about me (vs. 16). Every movement, every thought, every word, every way—all known to the God with whom 1 have to do. Hs knows me thoroughly, and as If he examined me minutely. "He knows all men. he knows all men thoroughly, he knows all men con stantly.” This solemn truth may awaken wonder and admiration in the Christian, It may be a great comfort to him and an assurance of guidance and well-being; but to the sinner It Is a solemn warning ands call to r* pentanes and faith. The truth of this part of the Psalm has a beautiful parallel In the epistle to the Romans: "For of him, and through him, and to him are all things." God knows my down-sitting and roy uprising, hs com passes my path, b* has beast ms be hind and before, he is acquainted with all my ways. What can a sinner do In the presence of such a God but to say: Search me, .. . try me .. . lead me? And God will answer his cry. There emerges another reason for the sinner's cry: he cannot get away from this God (vs. 7-12). God Is every where, not a mere power ruling In might and by laws really outside him self, but a personality distinct, sepa rate, superior, and seeing all I do. Thou God sees I me." This every whereneas of God makes It a dreadful, an awful, thing to sin. "Whither shall 1 go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Up Into heaven ... In hell ... the uttermost parts of th# sea . . . darkness shall cover me ... the darkness and the light are both alike to th**.” What can 1 hide from him. or where can I sin that hs will not s*s me? Yes. but this very God who knows all about us and who sees all w* do, who dwells In the uttermost parts of the earth also can save to th* Uttermost- Thank God. he still forgives. Search me . . . try me . . . lead me. I krow not wh#r III* Inlands lift Their fronded palms 1n nfr, 1 only know I cannot drift Beyond His lort and car*. Once more the Psalmist sets forth s reason for his cty for searching— God ts associated to intimately with his entire life, even before he him self had any consciousness. "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being Imperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in con tinuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.” “I am fear fully and wonderfully made.” Man is a creature according to God's design, living under God's Inspection and by God's power. Search me ... try ms .. . lead me This prayer is natural now. If you have never made It there la only one reason—you never have seen God In his holiness, power and might. When God searches he may find In you some way of wickedness —unforsaken sin, some unyielded room, some unloving spirit, some selfishness —but If you really will to have it so, God wrlil lead you in the way everlasting, a way that ahlneth more and more unto th# perfect day. So. couple with this prayer, that other petition. "Create in me a clean heart, O God. and renew a right spirit within me." Let your vital concern be, la my heart right with God? for with him that Is the supreme thing. Put your prayer Into the words of that heart-song: Oh. for a heart to praise raj God. heart from sin nt fras; A heart that’s sprinkled with Thy blood. So frealy shed foe mi A heart In every thought renewed. And full of love divine. Perfect and right and pur*, and good, A copy. Lord, of Thins. True as Preaching. “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,”’ that’s true. The dollar saved and in yourpocket is worth two earned. More truth. But here’s some more that's true as preaching: The dollar safely’ deposited in the bank is worth two jingling in your poeket. Why .’ Because it is safe. You are not liable to lose it. Also, it is an Incentive toward iuthcr accumulation. It is safe from the hold-op man, can’t find the hole in your pocket, is where every earned dollar ought to bt* subj.i to check.
