chool Lesson

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chlcmfo.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for July 11

GOD CALLS A LEADER
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 3:1-1*.
GOLDEN TEXT—Come now therefore, and
j I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou !
mayest bring forth my people the children
of Israel out of Egypt.—Exodus 3:10.
God calls men, commissions, and
! uses them to carry out His plans
and purposes in the earth. What a
1 great truth that is, and how it glori
! fies the destiny of man to know
! that it is divinely appointed.
As Joseph Parker effectively
1 points out, the experience of Moses
in Midian was a direct dealing with
God, whereas we who may not be
able to "see the fountain” must “be
content to drink at the stream,” but
should always remember that th*.
stream flows from that same foun
tain.
“Every man should put to himself
the questions. What is my destiny?
What does God mean me to be and
to do in the world? . . . It is a
most pitiable thing that a man
should read of Moses being divinely
called ... to a special work” and
fail to realize “that God has a spe
cial work for every man to do.” Let
us bo careful that we do not “so
pervert and misinterpret circum
stances as to press them into a
justification of self-will,” rather than
recognize them as “destiny which
is beckoning us to duty.”
For our instruction and guidance
we consider, then, the stofy of the
call of this outstanding leader of
Israel. It presents him as a true
servant of God, one who was—
I. Personally Equipped.
While it is a blessed truth that
i God will use any man who surren
ders himself to His control and guid
ance, no matter how limited that
man’s ability and training may be, |
it is also true that, other things be- I
ing equal, the man with the best
equipment will bo the most useful
servant.
God gave Moses a unique prepara
tion. He was first of all a Hebrew,
born among the people that he was
to lead. He knew the luxury and all
the cultural advantages of the Egyp
tian court (Acts 7:22), with the safe
guard of training by his own mother
as his nurse.
Ho observed at first hand the op
pression of his people, and made a ]
self-willed and impulsive effort to
deal with the problem. The result
was that he had a “postgraduate”
course of instruction and discipline
in the wilderness, where he spent
I forty years in (he school of experi
ence.
We have learned anew from our
war experience that training for
service is essential. If that is true
in military matters and in secular
life, it is doubly true in the service
of Christ. He docs graciously use
even the humble' and untrained
worker, hut no one who has a vision
of service will be content to remain
unprepared.
11. Spiritually Qualified.
Moses was a man who know God. I
Had he been a worldly man he !
would only have been curious re-1
garding the phenomenon of the burn- I
ing bush. But note how alert and '
reverent he was and how immedi
ately responsive to the instructions
j and the call of God,
Here God’s future leader was
j made conscious of the infinite maj
esty and holiness of God, the need
of reverence and godly fear, the pur
pose of the Eternal One to deliver
11 is people, and the assurance that
He would be with His servant. Such
a spiritual experience made effec
tive the excellent preparation which
he already had for service.
All the training and preparation
in the world is worse than useless in
' God’s service apart from that spir
itual qualification that comes from
true regeneration and dedication to
Him.
There is no more pathetic sight
than a spiritually powerless church |
worker going through the motions of 1
service for Christ, If we are in
that condition wc may be sure that j
we deceive no one but ourselves, i
111. Divinely Called.
Moses was called (v. 4), commis-|
sioned (vv. 6-10), and clad with di-1
vine authority (vv. 11, 12) for his |
great task.
God calls His servants to different,
responsibilities and in different
ways, but the important thing is that I
wc should know that we arc in His {
will and that we are answering His
call.
No one has any rigid to choose
full-time Christian service simply as'
a desirable vocation. In any calling ■
of life man needs God’s guidance'
in order to make a proper choice,
but in the ministry or missionary j
service it is an absolute essential. '
If we were more careful to seek j
His will for every individual there!
would be loss unhappiness in the*
world. But in the case of the one I
who goes out to speak for God there 1
is not only the danger of distress,
but of real disaster for himself and
those to whom he tries to minister,
j ing Christ.
Prepared, qualified, and called,
| Moses is now ready to meet God
before he goes on to his life of holy
I exploits for Him.

Jar Rubbers Arc
Different This Year
It is now thought that red rubber
i will be available for jar rings this
j year but there will be no cause for
j alarm if the rubbers you buy turn
Qut to be black. It is the rubber,
not the color, that counts. True, you
may be a bit startled when you |
open your first package of the war j
models. “But what of it?” asks |
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service
Director of Ball Brothers Company,
“Our grandmothers got along well
enough with lipless rubbers and so
can we.”
Months ago, manufacturers began
) experiments to learn how to make
jar rings that would conserve both
j rubber and food—the government '
j set its scientists to the same task.
; One of the first things upon which
i all agreed was that lips are unneces
[ sary for opening jars. The point of
' a thin knife can be run under the
rubber to make a tiny space for air
! to seep through and break the seal.
It is then easy to remaifl cap or lid.
It was also agreed Wat jrtr rings
could boa small fraction of an inch
narrower but the thickness must re
mcin at the pre-war standard.
War-time rubbers will keep jars
sealed air-tight, but they won’t stand
abuse. To get good results, break
yourself of that never-good habit of
stretching to test and follow these
four simple rules;
1. Wash and rinse rubbers. Boil
them to sterilize if you can fruits
the old-fashioned open-kettle way. If
processing is to be done, drop the
rubbers in boiling water and set
aside until needed.
2. Have rubbers wet when they
are used—and be sure that each
rubber lies flat on the sealing sur
face of the jar.
3. Partly seal all jars before proc- j
essing.
4. Screw zinc caps and bands on
’ass top seal closures stowly when
ling, as quick or jerky turns
■ rubbers to slip out of position.

Cattle Wagons
I When Japan attacked at Pearl Har
bor we had 17 battleships in service I
and 15 building. We were making |
preparations but the war did not I
wait. These 32 battle wagons cost
American taxpayers three billion
dollars for a two ocean navy. The
I war seemed far away then.

Now fifty million Americans have
a personal stake in this war. It has
been brought home to them. That’s 1
why everyone is increasing pur

Feeding Goldfish
Feeding goldfish is quite simple, j
They will eat everything within rea
son. The dry fish foods sold com
mercially are quite sufficient. They
appreciate a few garden worms,
’ however, or a few flies or other in
sects. In very large pools, a (Btiff
mash of oatmeal boiled with shred
-1 .led liver and put into the pool in
lumps once in a while is sufficient
to keep the fish in good shape.
