It SUNDAY SCHOa. LESSON | pfHE RELATION OF TEMPERANCE if* TO CHARACTER [lnternational Sunday School Lesson Hp for August 14, 1938 Golden Text: Wine is a mocker, j 1 strong drink a brawler; and who- I[l soever erreth thereby is not |g .wise.” Hr Lesson Text: Proverbs 4:10-23; | 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8 y|' In the beginning the discussion of lesson for this week the writer, Mailed upon to take the place of the lingular author of this column, feels Ifjfiat tiie reader should be so advised. I The substitution is only for the pres- I ent lesson. j! The lesson text from Proverbs 1 should be carefully read. It is the Lroice of antiquity, speaking words wisdom. One might easily take I the text as an expression of the Bible I itself, urging human beings to “re ieeive my sayings” in order that the ■“years of thy life shall be many.” H particularly impressive are the re- I Terences to the “path of the wicked I where “they eat the bread of wicked- I ness and drink the wine of violence.” I And, then who can fail to be im- I pressed with the importance of the I “sayings" that “are life unto those ■ that find them, and health to all their I flesh.” L We call attention to these quota- Itions in the hope that they may lead Inorne readers to turn to their Bible land read the full text. It should ■prove helpful to those individuals who I are seeking to live in accordance with ■ Divine laws and inspire them to med fitation in an effort to become atuned |to the Divine command. Is The lesson, which will be taken in Emany classes as one applicable solely Hb the alcoholic evil, is much broader ■ and the individual who attempts to ■limit its usefulness will miss much of lits grandeur. In every phase of Ejjan’s daily activities the indications Ks the exhortation should exert its in- Ifluence. Life should be expressed ■temperately and this warning thought ■should be with us all as we translate lour personalities into deeds and words ■that give us contact with other hu- Iman beings. „ R.JThere are many that teach temper lance by stressing its restraining in fluence upon what some of us are in- I dined to call the “things of evil.”- We ■seldom reflect upon the implications ■that temperance reflects upon gome of ■the. things that we associate with I colera’in f ie- K Mr. and Mrs. C.

J ' “ BriU goodness. Temperance in life means balance; it negatives intolerance just as much as it denies evil. We are all familiar with the indi vidual, identified in our thinking, as an example of wickedness. Here the personality seems to be in league with the forces of darkness. It gives way to appetites and passions and certain ly needs the lesson of temperance, as a stepping stone toward better living. We do not understand so well the: lesson that temperance carries to the individual of righteousness the man or woman so inclined to the belief that what he or she does and thinks is what every man or woman should do or think. We overlook the teach ing of temperance in international affairs and continue to worship blind ly, at times, at the shrine of mis called patriotism, blatantly assuming and some times asserting, our super iority to other nations and other I peoples. We arrogantly accept our selves as the “chosen people” of God! If temperance in life means bal ance, then the excesses that lead us to either side of the narrow path are evil. The fanatical zeal that shows; a “holier than thou” attitude toward' mankind may, possibly do the ultimate purposes of God as much harm as some excess of bad habits. Certain ly, it will obscure the search for truth by the individual, which is a great damage to the development of the spirit. 'Hie individual, seeking the devel opment of perfect character, and its expression in life, which seems to us to be the goal of revelation, must not lose sight of ultimate truth in the presence of fogs that accompany our interpretation of truth. It is not ir religious to earnestly seek to distin guish the Divine from the Human, and to look with faith toward the Light from God that shines upon mankind, but must pierce the frail ties of. human flesh. Undoubtedly, appetites, passions, ambitions, ignorance and other hu man forces, tend to obscure our vis ion of God and (fur understanding of His purposes. The very teachings of Christ have been “interpreted” by human beings into many varied and diverse meanings, both in the world today and in the years that have passed. To divorce our beings of this 1 human handicap, it is necessary to be temperate in regards to the | “things of evil.” It is also necessary i to be “on guard” against the errors I that spring- from human nature it self if we expect, eventually, to arrive at perfect truth and to express it in our own character. days last week in Portsmouth and Norfolk, Va., with friends and rela tives.
