"YOU ARE THE MAN"

ing the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children onto the third
and fourth feneration of them
that hate me; and showing mer
cy unto thousands of then that
love me, and keep my command
menu." (Exodus 20:5-6)
Leaaon Text: :2 Samuel 11
through 13.
Today the theme of our lesson
is in regard to the opportunities
and responsibilities we have when
we are confronted by our own
ains and the sins of society.
Up until now we have been
studying the life of David in his
splendid manhood; his wisdom
and sense of fairness and bis
sense of responsibility as a lead
er of his people chosen by God.
In tills lesson we are made acute
ly aware of the fact that David
was a mortal man, such as we
are, and as such, was extremely
vulnerable to sudden temptation .
It is a remarkable fact that the
Bible records the evil along with
the good; thus we see that m
of the men of great stature in
Biblical times had their weakness
es ami their failings. Temptation
came to them just as it comes to
us today, and then, as now, the
sins of just one person can bring
tragedy to the lives of many. Da
vid coveted the wife of another,
and for this he paid dearly, a
Nathan, the prophet, had wanted.
Nathan, charged by God to con
front David with his sinful acts,
approached the matter obliquely;
he used the parable of the one
ewe lamb. David, incensed at such
injustice, roundly condemned the
rich man in the parable, and this I
gave Nathan the opening for
which he sought On can only
imagine the shock David fait when
ha saw the truth of Nathan's
charge.
It is a human failing that wo
see the fauKa of others more
readily than we sea our own. But
it ia mur to David's credit that
ho acknowledged his sin and re
panted. It takes a great man to
do that, and to stand up to the
consequences of a sinful act. This
David did, and was forgiven oi
his sin. although that did not
avert the punishment that was iti
befall him.
Here is another lesson for us
to learn; confession and repent
ance will, by God's own covenant,
restore the sinner to grace. It
will not. however, undo the harm
that has been done, and the na
tural consequences of a sinful act
must be borne.
Sin and God are on opposite
ides. God hates sin . . . but loves
the sinner enough to send his on
ly begotten Son to die an agoniz
ing death on the cross in order
to save mankind. No greater
proof of His love could be offer
ed He is a merciful and forgiv
ing God. but we must not lost
sight of the fact that he is also
a just God.
For what sins is he judging us ?
Are we selfish with our posses
sions, and careless of the pos
sessions of others? Are we cod
doning wrongs in our society that
we could not condone individual
ly? Is the "herd instinct" blind
ing us to what is right and what
is wrong? Collective sin is just
as bad as individual sin in
God's eyes. But in this case re
pentance cannot come from society
... it must come from the indi-
ost rrMwuv fcetsrase, far the final en-
alysis, individuals make up society.

Society has its problems today.
Because we are society, the prob
lems are ours; and while we, as
individuals, may have had no hana
in the making, still the fact re
mains we are the ones who must
do something about them. David
was the servant of God; it was
only after he repented of his
sins that he was restored to God's
service.
How much of a parallel can
the story of David find in our
lives?

WHY LIME
HIE SOILS?
Is the principal function of lime
in the soil to supply calcium and
magnesium for plant nutrition or
to Inactivate toxic substances In
the soil while increasing the avail

this question. Some hold that sup

the primary function of Inning.
Others maintain that decreasing
