Sunday. More than seven
million copies of “Good
News for Modern Man”
have been distributed since
its publication by the ABS
a little over a year ago.
NEW YORK —President
Lyndon B. Johnson recent
ly issued a proclamation in
a White House ceremony
endorsing a new world
wide interfaith program for
encouraging Bible use. The
new program combines the
previously separate pro
grams of the American
Bible Society and the Lay
men’s National Committee.
Worldwide Bible reading
continues through Thanks
giving and Sunday, De
cember 10 will be observed
by many churches as Uni
versal Bible Sunday.
Vice Admiral William F.
Raborn, Jr., United States
Navy (retired), presented
a specially inscribed New
Testament to President
to President Johnson on
behalf of the ABS and the
LNG. Admiral Raborn is
vice president of the Aero
jet General Corporation
and national chairman of
the new interfaith pro
gram. The presentation
volume was a special

“Good News for Modern
Man,” the New Testament
in Today’s English Version,
published by the ABS.

NEW YORK—In accord
ance with the American
Bible Society's 150 - year
history of giving Scriptures
to men and women of the
armed forces of the United
States and their allies, a
special new glue for pocket
sized Testaments for ser
vice personnel is being
tested in Vietnam. Re
cently several dummy
copies were presented to
chaplains going to Vietnam
to establish durability of
the glue in that climate.
ABS service to members
of the armed forces began
in 1817, with the presenta
tion of 65 Bibles to the
crew of the USS John
Adams, a corvette of 24
guns.
NEW YORK Alfred
Franz Wallenstein Will con
duct an orchestra, com
prised of 73 pieces from
the New York Philhar
monic, in a presentation of
Franz Joseph Haydn’s “The
Creation” on Sunday, No
vember 5 at 8 P. M. The
program will be sponsored
by the American Bible So
ciety at Philharmonic Hall
in Lincoln Center. The
Westminster Choir of the
Westminster Choir College,
Princeton, N. J., will pro
vide 200 voices to perform
the chorale accompaniment.
Phyllis Curtin, Donald
Gramm and Leopold Sim

solo roles.
NEW YORK Among
unique volumes in the Am
erican Bible Society li
brary is a Turkish langu
age New Testament with
passages printed on one
page and selections from
the Koran on the facing
page. An Armenian Chris
tian, determined to obtain
a New Testament that
could not be tom by ex
treme Muslims in Con
stantinople, conceived the
idea of printing the vol
ume because no Moham
medan would dare to tear
the Koran. Printed in
1914, it was presented to
the ABS in 1939 by the
late Rev. Dr. Samuel M.
Zwemer, who was once
jailed in Michigan for dis
tributing American Bible
Society Scriptures without
a license.
Labor is the curse of the
world, and nobody can
meddle with it without
becoming proportionately
brutified.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
GOD’S PURPOSE IN DISCIPLINE
International Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 26
Memory Selection: “My son, despise not thou
the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou
art rebuked of him; for whom the Lord loveth
he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom
he receiveth.”—Hebrews 12:5-6.
Lesson Text: Hosea 2-3.
“Discipline” is the keynote of our lesson for
today —in fact, we might more readily say
“self-discipline.” For discipline does not always
mean punishment—it also refers to character.
The old saw: “This is going to hurt me more
than it hurts you > . .” when punishment of a
child becomes necessary is more or less a
standing joke in a family, but it carries a ring
of truth. The child may not see it, but the par
ent about to administer the punishment is sin
cere. Parental instinct is basic—nothing must
hurt this beloved child. But—deeper than that,
if the parent truly loves the child, is the con
viction that if one stays one’s hand now, the
child is the one who, in the long run, suffers.
The child—and society! How many people have
been hurt—how many families broken up—be
cause some parent, somewhere, failed to guide
a child in the way he or she should go? The
child we raise goes on to be the wife (or the
husband) of another—the father (or mother) of
another life or lives!
Thus was it with God and with Israel!
God’s disciplining of Israel throughout the
years was His effort to teach them that the way
of the transgressor is hard, but the way of those
who live in righteousness is fraught with many
blessings. Man was given the freedom of choice;
but if he makes the wrong choice, he cannot
escape the results of that choice. The universe
is governed by God’s laws, and any person—or
any nation—that runs contrary to those laws
must abide by the inevitable results. Thus it
was in the relationship of God and Israel.
God never closed the door on Israel. He loved
His chosen people, and was ever willing to re
ceive them; but the way back to Him would be
fraught with the discipline of captivity. The
way back to God, for Israel, would be hard, but
she would emerge from it a stronger nation—one
who could take her rightful place in God’s uni
verse, tempered by fire to the strength of steel.
It is only right that we keep in mind the fact
that Israel lived in the day of the law; today,
we live in a state of Grace. For God does not
save us in the light of our actions—He saves us
on the basis of our faith in Jesus. We are not—
as were the Israelites—promised material bless
ings; rather we are promised eternal life in Him,
and daily communion with Him if we receive
Him in our hearts. Our key to His kingdom lies
in our hearts.
God’s discipline takes many forms in our
lives —deeply personal, the loss of a beloved
husband or wife, the death of an equally be
loved child. If we lock up in our hearts the

1 How much corn in a cornfield?’
Bobby was raised in the city. It wasn’t until recently that he had ever set
foot in a cornfield.
Oh, he’d seen hundreds of cornfields from the window of a speeding car.
And, shopping with Mother at the market, he’d seen the golden ears peeping
through their green jackets.
But when we visited the Stoner’s farm Bobby actually set foot in a corn
field. And Bobby looked at our host as though he were a millionaire.
“Gosh, Mr. Stoner,” he said, “God sure gave you a lot of corn.”
The other day we had a note from the Stoners inviting us to have
Thanksgiving dinner with them.
“Please bring Bobby along,” they wrote. “He helped us appreciate just
how much corn there is in a cornfield —and where it comes from.”
