INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL LESSON FOR SEPT. 16
i to Hi* Friend*
What Paul wrote hns been of con
tinuing influence, for hi« letter*
form part of the Book that is the
world’s best seller. Millions of copies
of the Bible come from the presses
every year.
Some letters of Paul are lost hut
we have at least thirteen In the New
Testament that were written by him.
As this is the first lesson in the series
that deals especially with Paul's let
ters you should give special attention
to each of the epistles. In your
Bible dictionary teachers’ helps or
other reference books search out all
you can about where each was writ
ten, to whom, why. and make an ana-
lyses of its general content. I and
II Thessalonians were written during
the second journey, I and II Corin
thians, Galatians and Romans on the
third journey. During the first Ro
man imprisonment the world received
Ephesians, Philippian*. Colossiana
and Philemon. Then came I Timothy
and Titus during the days of freedom
anil II Timothy was written just be
fore his Release, during the
imprisonment at Rome.
The Bible is always a book of hu
man interest. Paul was at Ephesus.
Some member of the househld of
Chloe, from that city, had spent a
while in Corinth and on returning
told just how matters concerning the
new church were progressing in the
Isthmian city. It seems that in gen
eral there was marked progress, but
old fashioned human nature was al
so running true to form. Factions
were being formed by those who
claimed that they were converts
through the special work of some in
dividual. Some belonged to the Pau
line party, others claimed Cephas or
Apollos, while another group was
frank in saying that they belonged
to Christ and it was not at all vital
through whom they learned of Him:
the new life was the essential factor.
It was to correct the erroneous think
ing that Paul prepared this first let
ter to the church at Corinth. Of
course he added much that was con
structive. Now read the entire let
ter. You enn note that the lesson?
for September 23 and October 14 are
ahv> taken from this most helpful
epistle. Then reed the first four
chapters a second time ns that portion
is the general content for this lesson
study. Every week you should get
the full context in Scripture as well
as the few verses indicated for par
ticular study.
Because Paul was seeking to build
up a Christcentered Kingdom and
not a mancentcred party the people
in Corinth were urged to think the
matter through. Ench one who had
visited that city had been working
for one great purpose and had not
sought to establish an individual
following. Each had a tfeal part in
this Kingdom-building but always
“God gave the increase.' Every work
er was just a minister-servant of the
Christ. Every bit of self interest is
ruled out us all are styled "God's fel
low workers.” This is partnership in
deed. The truth is enriched when
another term is used—"God’s hus-
Fuli credit for foundationing is
given in verse II an Jesus Christ is
named. "Other foundation can no
man lay.” It is the part of each one
who will care for his own life and
be useful in the lives of others to
build personally and driectly with
reference to this essential founda
tion. Peace, unity and the truc_
brotherhood of man are acclaimed in,
the Golden Text "Behold, how good j
and how pleasant it is for brethern :
to dwell together in unity!”
Moses was a Jew, the great grand
son of Levi, the great great grandson
of Jacob, who was the first I-Aielite,
anil the" great-great-great-great
grandson of Abraham, who was the
first Hebrew.
In China they boast of pedigrees
thirty centuries long; the only peo
ple that can show anything equal to
this are the Jews. The proud Jew
of this day can look down with con
tempt upon t)he Hohenzollers, the
Romanoffs and the Guelph of Eu
rope, "whose blood has crept through
scoundrels since the flood." But to
the Egyptians Moses was a slave’s
son. He was to them as a black
baby, bom in a Louisiana slave-hut,
would have been to the Southern
aristocracy in 1850.
Time has a grim humor. The
monarch.* of Egypt are today only
known as contemporaries of Moses.
The Szar of Russia will be known aw
the contemporary of Tolstoy.
Moses goes up into smoking Sinai
and Tu»s a conversation with
thunder and lightning. What did
they say to him? He shows ud wjien
he comes down. There on a atone
slab arc graven the Ten Command
ments.
Whether he really spoke with God
or whether he had a hypnotic fit
up there in the thunderstorm, the
fact remains that in some way he
got hold of the toughest, most ever
lasting and fireproof bundle of truths
any son of man ever found.
The Ten Commandments are the
most important words In history. They
were given by Moses to the Jews, but
they have ben generally accepted
throughout Christendom as the foun
dation of all laws and morals.
They are the basis of society in the
civilized world.
There is no other instance in his
tory where a rule has been recogniz
ed and obeyed by the mass of the
most inteligcni people for over three
thousand years. They are not mere
ly religious teachings inculcated by
the church. They lay their restrain
ing hand on every human being.
They function in the home, the
market, the street and office. They
hold in the wild place sof the earth
and in the farthest seas.
