NEW YORK—In political
ly tangled Indonesia, with
sthdents demanding a time
litnit on President Sukarno’s
term of office and public
criticism of his cabinet in
creasing, there is a growing
LUnger for the Word of God
evidenced by the avalanche
of requests for .Scriptures,
reports the American Bible
Society.
To combat the embargo on
importing books in Indone
sian languages, the Indone
sian Bible Society opened its
own plan in Bogor recently.
The plant was also built to
help supply Scriptures for
Indonesian schools where re
ligious instruction is manda
tory. Most Bible Societies
do not have their own print
ing presses, but the govern
ment embargo caused over
time operation of existing,
presses, making it impos
sible for the Bible Society
to supply sufficient Scrip
tures for Indonesia's six
million Christians.
For the opening of the
printing plant, a new trans
lation of Philippians was
printed in modern Indone
sian. Through a donation by
a New Jersey printing firm,
the American Bible Society
recently shipped two much
needed modern typesetting
machines to the new plant,
presently printing Scripture
portions and New • Testa
ments. Production of mod
ern Indonesian whole Bibles
is slated to begin in 1968
rnd expected to reach 100.-
000 by 1970. , Less than
2 500,000 Scriptures have
been distributed in Indone
sia since 1954.
Another unique way of
meeting the need of Scrip
tures in Indonesia was the
delivery last year, under an
agreement prior to the em
bargo, of more than 250,000
Bibles printed in Japan- in
Indonesian. When some of
Japan’s war reparations were
allocated to print 500.000
copies of the Koran, the
Bible Society’s request that
Eibles also be printed as
part of the war reparations
was granted
Still another unusual meth
od of reaching Indonesians
with the Word of God is s
24- lesson correspondence
course on the Gospel of John
conducted by one of the
American churches. In In
donesia a single newspaper
ad for the course brought
such an avalanche of re
quests that the Bible Soci
ety's supply of Gospels of
John was exhausted in three
months.
The Indonesian Bible So
ciety and the American
Bible Society are two of-27
national Bibie Societies com
prising the United Bible So
cieties..
Celebrating its 150th anni
versary in. 1966, the ABS is

CHEATING
What is cheating? A per
son who does something un
fair or deceitful in order to
gam something for himseif.
We have a lot of cheating in
this old world today. It is
time for the American peo
ple to wake up. There is
cheating going on in almost
c-veiy mii.g you can name.
In business, politics and so
on. Our churches aren’t
God’s houses any more. They
are meeting places. We as
Christians have shut our
eyes to these sins around us.
Money talks now days. There
is always cheating or de
ceiving where a fast buck is
passed. The preachers are
cheating the people of sal
vation when they don’t tell
them how they can be saved.
We are cheating God by not
surrendering our lives to
Christ. We are not our
own. We are bought with
Jesus’ own blood. Things
aren’t going to get better
but worse until Jesus comes.
I am not making this up;
this is happening all over.
Start reading your Bible and
accept Christ as your Lord
today. Cheating is forbid
den.
The Bible says: “Thou
kno west the commandments.
Do not commit adultery, do
rot kill, do not steal, do not
bear false witness, defraud
net, honcr thy father and
mother."—St. Mark 10:19.

THE FALL OF
JERUSALEM
International Sunday School
Lesson for June 26
Memory Selection: “The
Lord will not cast off for
ever; but though he cause
grief, yet will he have com
passion according to the
multitude of his mercies.”—
Lamentations.” 3:31-32.
Lesson Text: II Kings 24-
25 II Chronicles 36; Jere
miah 38-39; 52.
The subject of our lesson
for today is the fall of Jeru
salem because of her Godless
existence. And the ultimate
display of God’s loving mer
cy in her hard-won prosper
ity.
How like life the history
of this nation! Narrowed
down from the scope of na
tionality—is it not the story
of each and every indivi
dual?
Led by God from captiv
ty that was often brutal and
often unbearable—led to the
Promised Land - Israel met
ill the temptations that life
had to offer her subsequent
generations. She stumbled
and fell, she struggled and
won, only to fall again as
generation succeeded genera
ion; but still she strived.
And the striving did not go
unnoticed by God!
Perhaps therein lies the
spiritual comfort that every
one natioh or individual—
needs; times may be hard;
faith may falter; but al
ways there is Hope! Os
such timber are heroes hewn;
of such fortitude are nations
born!
In this lesson the fact is
brought home to us force
fully that God requires much
of those upon whom His
blessings are bestowed. Ju
dah resisted God’s persistent
grace tncnlong, and she paid
a bitter •.'price for that re
sistance.*”
To a certain extent Zede
kiah personifies each and
\ every one of us who feels
> pride in the fact that we are
; individuals. He had a hard
■ lesson laid before him, in
kings who had failed to live

up to God’s covenants, but
he refused to learn that les
son. He had, finally, to face
the reckoning of his wrong
doing, and a bitter pill it
was to swallow! For while
God is all-forgiving, He can
only forgive those who earn
estly desire forgiveness.
When Zedekiah embarked
on his reign he faced cer
tain responsibilities as a rul
er of the people. And he
failed miserably in assuming
these responsibilities. But—
before we condemn him —
perhaps we should examine
ourselves in regard to the
way in which we accept.
our responsibilities!
As individuals, we were
created in God’s image. Sure
ly with this compliment
comes the responsibility of a
God-like life.
As members of a family
we are responsible for the
welfare of that family—not
only materially, but spiritu
ally. Aie the members of
cur family well-fed, well
ciothed and well-equipped in
the intangibles of faith, of
couragee, of Christianitv?
As collective individuals
we are responsible for what
our nation stands for. Are
we concerned for our coun
tiy’s image? Do we consid
er the stature of the men
we vote into office? Do we
pray for guidance in the way
that is just, fair and right in
these war-torn times in
which we live?
God’s chosen race failed
because they did not square
up to their responsibilities.
They refused to learn the
lesson revealed to them in
what happened to those who
had gone before them. Are
we—in our national pride of
man’s accomplishments—equ
ally blind?
How fortunate we are that
God is a God of love and
compassion! Let us not
waste this plentitude of con
cern! Let us guard against
being another Judah!
