THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, HBITHUIIBU 7, L SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S TOPIC ♦SERPENTS AND A SYMBOL The International Sunday School Lesson For September 8 Is “The Brazen Serpent.” Num. 21:1-9. By WILL.IAM T. ELLIS. Recent week* have w'ltncsKcd a wide* spread controversy concernlni; the onuses of [ho August panic lu the stock market. The MitiJect has been discussed with much hent. ll,o general Inability to diagnose buMlness. political and Hoclal conditions (g really julte remarkable lu this age of effielc mid exact science. Not so with the ralum- itv which overtook an ancient people lu the w’lldcruess round at*out the H«»d sen. Their panic and suffering was fncrc/wcd by the fact that they clearly perceived the reason therefor. They, iu their simplicity, knew that there Is ft direct relation between evil conditions nnd offenses against God. Herein modern civilization may lenrn a valuable lesson from them. The Unlearned Lesson. The rann who stumbles twlee, or twenty times, over the same obgtruetlou, can scarcely expect to And ft niche among the wise men. Just so foolish had been the children of Israel. For nearly forty years thev had been In the wilderness, ever sin ning the same sin and being heavily pun ched for It. Their principal falling was lack of faith In God. with every reason to trust Him, they yet perversely persisted In untsdief. The forms of offense varied the complaining, pentg enine down upon them.

The Dawn of Terror, Of nil the creatures that Inhabit this earth the serpent Is everywhere regarded as the most loathsome. He Is the dread of all simple peoples, and revelation mukes him the incarnation of the tempter. What a terror must have smitten the camp when this plague first fell upon it. The sudden Increase of the bltteu ones, the similarity of the affliction, nnd the ubiquity. of the snakes all argued against accident. Con science Instantly told the sufferers why the punishment had been sent, orientals will sit down In calmness, ns I have seen them. In the presence of the black plague. But this sudden' alarm of serpents—springing with deadly fang from wayside footprints, from tlie shadow of rock or shrub, ami Infesting the very household equipments— this waa a nerve-raeklng terror. • The scream of the newlr-bltten. the groans of , . the thirsty dying, the shrill wailing of the Imt their nature was ever the mime, lack * bereaved, were not more awful than the of faith In God. From the first whimper coiistiint fear, fresh In every mind, that each might lie the next victim.

Where great Bible conference will be held during this month. the Egyptian side of the Bed sea to the murmuring at Merlbnh. It waa ever the same distrust of the divine Leader who had glv " pliclt confidence In Still they remained a rebellious and un grateful people. We are not surprised that Moses got mad at them. It Is no wonder that Jehovah was repeatedly ready to glv them up as n bad Job. Even the Ion waiting at Kndesh-barnea, when every ma above twenty perished because of the ur belief which refused to go up Into the promised land, had not wrong tha cufe of complaining. Of course, there were seasons .cntlng, nnd Israel seems to have*see- up and down between contrition and *— —ch all the forty years In Broadly speaking, though, III I Si tne wilderness, unmui, s^-jirhik, uiuuku. faith was lacking. For that matter, is not the sin of nil sins today unbelief? What was the query of Jesus. “When the Son of Man returns, will He find faith in the earthV” We try to substitute the ma chinery of civilisation for faith; but the 8on of Man will not look for civilization, nnd the cunning works of men’s brains, ivhen He returns. Imt for faith—the very .(••rt of faith which waa missing from among the Israelites. The Visitation of the Serpent. The pilgrims were on the march. They which is not affected by environment; spir itual condition Is often, although not neo- • ssnrlly, n thing of circumstances. The hot sands of the desert, the blinding glare of the sun, the heavy-footedness of such trnv* cl, the burdens to be borne, the fleas, the • itetnles, nnd nil the innumerable annoy ances nnd privations, smnll and great, had worn the people's nerves. So “because of the way,” they were discouraged, nnd everything looked blue to them, ns It always does to a discouraged person. Then they began to 'May It on the Lord, as we still have a fashion of blaming all nur troubles upon a beneficent Providence. Of course, they found fault with Moses, but that was only an Indirect way of shifting the res|»onslblllty upon Him whose repre sentative Moses was. They complained, In the old way, that they were likely to die la the wilderness, that there was no bread and no water, nnd that the innnrni was not desirable, nnd that, altogether, they would better nave been left In Egypt. Everything must have a limit, except the love of God. His pntlence ha* limits. Some eminent law-breakers are today pouting nnd whining like spoiled babes Iwcnuse the public at length reached an end of Its for bearance and demanded a reckoning of seeching Moses to pray for their «fcllver«. nnce. To them the serpents stood for sin— their own sin of unliellef. Ho their coutrlte cry rang out, “We have sinned, because we hftYC spoken against tlie I^ord. and against thee; pray nnto the Lord that He take nway the serpents from ns.” When the Ship Wont Down. One of the revealing stories which come from the recent terrible wreck on the Pa elflc coast told how the survivors hsd gath ered around n minister of the gospel and prayed, as only drowning people can prar. In Its deep need every spirit Instinctively •one of the deepest human Instincts when they turned to Jehovah for help. The final argument for prayer Is not to be found In tlie books, but In the brenst of man. Forl>earing, long-suffering, pntlent still, God heard. Since the affliction hud l>een sent ns n punishment of unbelief, the heal ing should be by nn act of fnlth. The suf ferers should be saved through a symbol. Moses was directed to make a serpent of brass nnd erect It upon a pole iu the sight of the whole eauip, so thnt whosoever should look upon It would find life. God made faith n test of healing; the innu who vould not look, could not live. Tho effect of the proclamation Is thug Imagined by one commentator: “As the herald passed along, what a scene the camp would present! There you might see a man all hut dead, raising himself upon his arm, rtnd straininghto glnzed eyes.
