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. MAJOR AND MRS.
