The attitude of our Allies after

We have at least reached the
point in our human progress
where we get together and plan
for future peace. That is some
thing. We do not recall in earli

history where any mention was
made of world peace.

De Gaulle, it appears was
miffed because he did not receive
an invitation to sit in on the
Crimean conference. The Allies
have already done handsomely by
De Gaulle and the French people.
They have given them their
country back and expect to spend
a lot of good American dollars to
put the French people back on
their feet. Except for the Al
lies the French would still be th
slaves of Hitler. What, as th
boys say, has De Gaulle to
squawk about?

The theory prevails in some
minds that in the settlement of
the war, decisions based on force
are not going to endure. If the
decisions are also based on right
and justice and fairness an d
tolerance they should be sustain
ed by force and should be made
to endure by force, if necessary.

T1 e liquor distillers advertise
their wares by printing beauti
fully colored advs showing well

toying with sparkling glasses ol
liquor in luxurious surroundings.
Why would it not be good publi
city for the temperance group to
run pictures of men ruined ly
liquor, of families living in liltii,
and squalor, and rags, and hun
ger, because the f i nnv nmvider
spent most of his pay check with
the 1 iquor seller, as thousands of
them do. Such publicity might
result in some thinking on the
other side of the liquor question.

Too much paternalism and gov

out of too many people. Taking
the backbone out of some peo

operation known to man. t c

never worth much to himself, his
family, or his country.

Christianity is not a theory or
speculation, but a life: not a
philosophy of life, but a life and
a living process.

, THE LAW OF LIFE
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 25:31-46.
GOLDEN TEXT —Thou shall love the Lord
| thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy |
soul, and with all thy mind. Thla Is the :
first and great commandment. And the sec- |
ond Is like unto It. Thou Shalt love thy |
neighbor as thyself.—Matthew 22:37-39.
Our lesson presents a great judg- |
j ment scene—majestic, solemn, stir
i ring. Many confuse it with the judg-
I ment of the Great White Throne in
Revelation 20. But Matthew 25 is
obviously the judgment of nations
(v. 32) for their treatment of Christ’s
brethren (v. 40), a word referring
primarily to Jews, but also spoken
of In Matthew 12:48-50.
The lesson needs broader applica
tion, however, so we suggest that
we allow the more general princi
ples of Judgment occupy our at
tention. We note that
I. Judgment Divides (w. 31-33).
The nations, coming before Christ
when He shall have appeared in all
His glory, shall find themselves sep
arated into two groups an the basis
of their treatment of the brethren
of Christ.
The fact that God has drawn a
line of division down through all
humanity and that each one of us is
on one side or the other is not a
doctrine which finds ready accept
ance with modern thinking, but it is
nonetheless a fact.
No man established that division
—God Himself did it, and did it in
love. To some It may seem to be
a hard saying, but it is not, for it
conies from the lips of the gentle,
loving Jesus.
It is because He loved us enough
to give Himself for us that any of
us find ourselves on the side of that
dividing line which assures us of
eternal joy and blessedness.
They who stand on the other side
of the line do so because they have
not accepted God's proffered salva
tion in Christ. Reader, where do
you stand?
11. Judgment Declares (vv. 34-45).
Our attitude toward God expresses
itself in our attitude toward our fel
low man. That which we do toward
those about us is not a matter of
indifference, but is the basis for
God's judgment of our lives. Each
of us must answer for the deeds done
in the flesh whether they be good or
evil. That is true even of the be
liever (II Cor. 5:10), whose salva
tion has already been determined by
his faith in Christ.
Here in our lesson, however, the
failure to do that which shows forth
God’s l aw of love > s made the
ground of eternal judgment. This is
not because an act of kindness
itself can be regarded as the ground
of division, but because the failure
to give it or do it reflects an attitude
of toward our God and His
Christ, which is in reality a rejec
tion of His way of salvation.
Judgment is thus a revelation of
the attitude of the heart, which
marks a man or woman as being
either saved or lost. It may be pos
sible to so becloud the thinking of our
friends and neighbors that we may
go through life looking something
like a Christian, but when Christ
judges, it will all be revealed to us.
Notice the importance of a proper
attitude toward those who need our
kindness and help. All too often the
only concern of men and women is
to look out for “number one” and let
the rest of the world shift for itself.
Observe also that the Lord iden
tifies Himself with His brethren—
what is done to and for them is
counted as done to and for Him.
Compare the experience of Samuel
(I Sam. 8:7) and of Paul (Acts 9:5).
Touch God’s people and you touch
Him. Fail them and you fail Him.
Serve them and you serve Him.
111. Judgment Determines (v. 40).
Yes, God’s judgment determines
eternal destiny. Life eternal, or
everlasting punishment, which shall
it be? That is determined by God’s
final word of judgment, but remem
ber that He judges in accordance
with the attitude of heart and action
of life on this side of the grave.
Now, for that matter, is a part
of eternity, and It is consequently
of great importance that we are right
with both God and man now if we
expect to be right throughout eter
nity.
We need to face this truth of judg
ment with complete candor and hon
est heart-searching. We agree with
Dr. Douglass that ‘‘we must stand
with awful concern before this sol
emn truth. Do not hesitate to teach
this because it is contrary to the
current of modern thinking or shock
ing to confront. It needs to be faced
in a brave spirit of realism. (As
a teacher) you will do your pupils a
great disservice if you try to shield
them frobn the grim implications of
this truth.'*
Yes, and also if you keep from
them the glorious prospect of eternal
joy in the presence of God. The law
of life is the law of love—love for
God, and for Jesus Christ whom He
hath sent to be our Redeemer, and
love for His brethren. That law of
love rules even in the day of judg
, ment.
