Finding a New Sense of Values f HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for May 26 is Luke 12; 18 24-30; 19:1-10; I Timothy 6:17. the Memory Verse being Luke 6:31, "As ye would that men should do to you. do ye also to them likewise." ) IN THE ^ twelfth chapter of Luke. Jesus tries to show His dis ciples what the real and worth while things of life are. "Be not afraid of them that kill the body," He tells them, "but fear him. which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell." The per son who has lived a good, charit able. helpful life need not fear to lose his life; only should he fear who has lived a sinful life devot ed to material things, heedless of others. "Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God ? "But the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." Later He tells them the parable of the man who had acquired great riches so that his barns burst with the harvest. Without thinking of the poor whom he might help, he decided to pull down the too small barns and build larger ones. Then when his riches were safely stored, he would take his ease, "eat, drink and be merry." . But that night God said to him. ."Thou fool (meaning a foolish person, one with small brains), "this night thy soul shall be re quired of thee: then whose shall those things be. which thou hast provided ?" Many people do as this man planned to do. think only of them selves and their own comfort, of making things easy for them selves; never of what they can do to help others in this suffering world. Birds Neither Sow Nor Reap "Life is more than meat,* and the body is more than raiment." said Jesus, and then called their ? attention to the birds who "neither sow nor reap, which neither have storehouse nor barns; and God feedeth them." "And which of >ou with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? "Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil not. they spin not; and yet I say unto you. that Solo mon in all his glory was not ar rayed like one of these." He calls upon His disciples to have faith that God will care for them, tell ing them to rather "seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto >ou." Again we have the story of the Distributed by King F rich young man who wanted to do what was right and so save his soul: but when Jesus told him to sell his vast possessions and give to the poor, he went sadly away. Wealth and possession meant a very great deal to him ? even more than his own soul ? and he could not part from them. Jesus, looking after him. said: "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye. than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Wealth is not bad in itself, of course, but the rich must always remember that it is the least pre cious of their possessions. Money will not bring them love, nor char acter. If they have not this sense cf what the real values of life are. they may waste their wealth and their lives, and happiness in its real, sense may never be theirs. Now living in Jericho was a man. a publican, the chief publi can. and he was rich. When Jesus came to Jericho, a multitude fol lowed Him. and this man. Zac chaeus. was very anxious to see Him. so. being a very short man, he climbed a sycomore tree so he cculd see over the heads of the crowd. $ Jesus Calls to Zacchaeus Jesus saw him. however, ' and called on him to come down, say ing. "Zacchaeus. make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house." Overjoyed,4 Zacchaeus came down, and paying no attention to those around who muttered. "That He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sin ner," he stood before Jesus, say ing. "Behold. Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor: and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation. I restore him fourfold." He may not have been a good man. heretofore, but he promises hereafter he _will make amends. "And Jesus said unto him. This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. "For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Our last reference is from Paul's letter to Timothy, where he says: "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded. nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God. who giveth us richly all things to en joy " If we also obey the words of Jesus contained in our Memory Verse. "As ye would that men should do to you. do ye also to them likewise." we shall never need to fear either poverty nor riches, for we will be following the example of the Master when H? was on earth.
