INDEPENDENCE
INTERDEPENDENCE—
DEPENDENCE
(A RESPONSIVE PRAYER)
We have heard, 0 Father of
our fathers, what work thou
didst in their days, when our
country was young. Thou didst
give them courage and strengtl
to fight against the tyranny of a
distant ruler. Thou didst guide
and sustain them as they sub
dued a continent, making across
the wilderness a thoroughfare
lor freedom.
For independence in thought
and life, we thank the.
Without thy help, OFather of
light, they would have dwelt in
the darkness of hopeless disuni
ty, with bickerings and bitter
ness among the colonies that
prided themselves on their inde
pendence, through experience
thou didst teach them to value
interdependence. The youthful
states, hound together in a fed
eral union, learned to work to
gether for the common good.
Together they had security and
stability that they could never
have enjoyed living separately.
With thy help, ours became u na
tion of good neighbors.
For interdependence in habit.l
- thinking and living, we thank
thee.
Newcomers of many kindreds
and tongues, of varying tra i
tions and cultures, ca ne U> out
shores. They worked in our fac
tories and fields. Their oliildrei
went to our schools. Thou dids'
show our people that these ptc
ple. too, were children of thi <.
And now, in these days of world
wide conflict and worldwide con
tacts, we believe that thou ait
teaching us another lesson in n
terdependence. Give us opei
minds and willing hearts.
0 God of the nations, grant u
wisdom, and patience, and coni'-
deuce to fashion a world chart r
that will express thy will and ;
world organization that v\ill lieli
all men everywhere find lb
peace of God himself.
“Nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall tiny
learn war anymore.” If th s
blessed prophecy is to come tru ,
we know that we must learn th\
ways and walk in thy paths. W>
must, become vitally aware o
man’s dependence upon God
creator and sustainer of the uni
verse.
For dependence upon thee and
upon our fellow men, we thum
thee. Defend our liberties, pre
serve our unity, broaden our ho
rizons, deepen our faith, that w«
may perfectly love thee, and oui
world neighbors as ourselves.
Amen. Selected from the Meth
odist Bulletin.

MAN’S FAILURES AND *
GOD’S PROMISES
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 6:5-7; 8:1, 4, I*.
20-22,
GOLDEN TEXT—While the earth remain
ed). seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day
and night shall not cease.—Genesis 8:22.
The beginnings of all things in
1 the book of Genesis include, we are
sorry to note, the beginning of sin
in the fall of Adam. Soon we read
of the first murder, Cain slaying
his godly brother, Abel, because his
acceptance with God exposed the
1 wrong heart-attitude of Cain.
The godly line was renewed in
Seth, but before long sin again lifted
its ugly head. Now the wickedness
of man had become so widespread
that God was driven to a drastic
judgment.
I. Judgment for the Wicked
' (6:5-7).
i The Lord sees the wickedness of
. men—let us not forget that! At
times it seems as though the un
godly flourish in their sin and that
there is no judgment upon them.
God knows what goes on in the
world. He is long-suffering and mer
ciful, but there is a boundary line
i to His patience, and when that
limit is reached, there can be
nothing but judgment.
Ever imagination of the thoughts
of man’s heart was evil continual
ly (v. 5). One is reminded of Jere
miah 17:9, and of such a contem
porary estimate of man as that of
Dr. Mackay, who said, “Psycholo
gy has unveiled the dismal and sin
ister depths in human nature. Man
can no longer flee from reality into
the romantic refuge of his own
heart; for the human heart has bc-
I come a house of horrors in whose
murky recesses man cannot erect
for his solace either a shrine or a
citadel. Man is bad; he is a sin
ner.”
God did not change His mind
(v. 6), but man by his sin moved
himself out of the circle of God’s
love over into the circle of His
judgment. God never changes, but
we change our relation to Him by
our actions. Such is the evident
jncaning of this versa,
11. Deliverance for the Upright (8:
1,4, 18).
God remembered Noah, and he j
“found grace in the eyes of the
Lord” (Gen. 6:8) because he was “a
just man” (6:9). At the Lord’s com
mand, lie prepared the ark for the
saving of himself and his house,
and after the Lord had “shut him
in” (Gen. 7:16), the great judg- j
meat by water came upon the earth, |
After 150 days (Gen. 7:24), the I
Lord remembered Noah (8:1) and
caused the earth to dry up once
again. The same Lord who shut him
in to keep him during the flood
brought him out after the flood (8:
15, 16), gave him groat power (9:
1-4), assured him of His protection
(9:5-7), and gave him the great
promise (9:8-16) of which the rain
bow became the token.
The God who will in no wise for
get the sin of the wicked will
never leave nor forsake those who
walk uprightly before Him. The
story of Noah should stimulate our
faith, causing us to obey and trust
God. His protecting hand is over
His children, and He can bring
them through the darkest days of
tribulation.
IH. Mercy in the .Midst of Sin
(8:20-22).
“Noah builded an altar,” for th*
first impulse of his heart was to
give praise to God for His mighty
deliverance. His offering came up
to God as “a sweet savor,” that is,
it was pleasing to God.
To come before God with accept
able worship, man must come
with clean hands. The question is
not whether he is brilliant, learned,
or of high position. The one thing
that counts is obedience. When
such a man offers the worship of
his heart before God, it goes up to
him like a sweet savor.
God knew man’s heart (v. 21).
He had no illusions that even the
judgment of the flood would change
it. Eagerly His love sought man’s
obedient response, but He well knew
that the awful pestilence of sin j
would continue until the very end
of the age.
So in spite of that sin, and in the I
very midst of it, God promised that
He would never again wipe out hu- j
inanity as He did in the flood, j
There would be individual judgment
and collective judgment on certain
1 groups, but never again the smiting
of every living thing. Thus, He set :
men free from the terror which i
must have now been in their hearts. |
The beautiful rainbow in the cloud
became a token of God’s promise,
i and the visible assurance to “all
| flesh” that the judgment of the flood
: would not he repeated. Never again
j would seed time and harvest, nor
: any of the orderly processes of
! nature, fail throughout the whole
earth.
What a gracious God we have!
, And what a pity that men presume
' upen His goodness.
TAKING lIIS TURN
The Scotchman and his wife went
Into a restaurant where they each
ordered a sandwich. The waiter
noticed that the man was not eat
ing, so he approached him and said:
“Don’t you enjoy your sandwich,
sir?”
The Scotchman smiled real as
suredly and said:
“I have not tasted it yet. I am
waiting for my wife to finish with
the false teeth.”
