WHAT IS MAN'S
DUTY TO GOD?
Memory Selection: "Fear God,
and keep His commandments: for
this is the whole duty of man,"
(Ecclesiastes 12:13.
Lesson Text: Ecclesiastes 5; 12.
The message contained in our
Lesson today is that insincere
worship is an offence to God. He
sees into our hearts, so we do
not deceive Him if we are hypro
critical. We must not go into
Ilia house simply because it to the
"thing to do" , ... an acceptable
custom. We must go, rather, ful
ly aware of where we are going,
and what our attendance implies.
This attitude on our part i the
only way to be receptive to the
renewal we can derive from our
church attendance the renewal
of spirit that everyone needs in
lif e . . , the ability to hear, to
remember, and use. For a clear,
uncluttered mind, kilvested of ev
eryday cares and business wor
ries, is a receptive mind.
The philosophy contained in the
Book of Ecclesiastes is especially
applicable to our day and time.
Ecclesiastes is concerned with
spiritual niches, as opposed to
worldly riches.
Totflay, unfortunately, money
and what money can buy has
became the yardstick of modem
American living. We need to heed
the voice of Ecclesiastes . . . "He
who loves money will not be sat
isfied with money; nor he who
loves wealth, with gain; this also
is vanity."
If we will but pause and reflect
we will realize that money can
not satisfy our spiritual needs;
on the contrary, it can blunt our
sensitivities, our concern, our love
for our fellommen . . all of which
was the basic teaching of Jesus
Christ while He was on v earth,
among men. 'And - while we ac
knowledge that there is, of neces
sity, no virtue in poverty, we
CAN take heart in the knowledge
that there IS an advantage in be
ing unencumbered by possessions!
Tranquility of spirit is hard to
come by, embroiled as we are in
the hectic pace of our twentieh
century world; yet is one of man
kind's greatest riches. For, while
knowledge and progress have
(brought mankind many benefits,
they have also exacted their toll
' mentally, emotionally, and
physically. It becomes increas
ingly harder to set aside a time
ior quiet reflection, for communi
cation with one"s inner self, and
with God. Indeed, there are many
among us who actually fear soli
tude, so conditioned are we to the
pace today !
It is noteworthy that commu
nion with God, throughout the
Bible, has always taken place in

quiet, lonely places. God chose
Hia leaders from among the peo
ple, and without exception
they were men who, by occupation,
were forced to live apart from
the companionship and the dis
tractions of cities and commerce t
Would it be too much to suppose
that such men were therefore
given to analyzing themselves in
wardly, without the distraction of
people, places and things? Would
it be unreasonable to presuppose
that their spirits were more un
derstanding, more tolerant to
wards the preoccupations and foi
bles of others; their ears sharper,
their eyes keener than the eyes
and ears and spirit of those of
the cities, surrounded as they
were by the noises, the demands,
the distractions of commerce and
politics?
Man is not great by virtue of
his worldly possessions; rather,
he attains greatness by reason of
his inner strengths, his inner be
liefs . . . and these are nurtured
by communion with God.
The writes of Ecclesiastes had
lived fully, experimenting with
his life, and had come to the con
clusion by trial and error
that the fundamental values of
life were not contained in worldly
things, but rather in the
spiritual values. That he was (in
later years) able to rediuce his
life to the fundamental truths, is
to our everlasting benefit, and we
will be wise if we heed this print
ed word. We can learn the hard
way ... by our own mistakes;
we will, however, be wiser if we
learn by the experiences of oth
ers. By virtue of the writings by
Ecclesiastes, let us resolve to set
aside a few minutes each day, in
the wilderness of our beings, to
commune with God, to seek His
guidance, and to dedicate our
selves anew to His service.
