GOD'S PEOPLE IN
CONFUSION
Memory Selection: "In those
days there wag no king in Isra
el; every mad did that which was
right in his own eyes."
(Judges 21:25)
Lesson Text: Judges 2 to 3:6;
5-7; 8:33-35; 17:1-6; 21:25.
As we study of Scriptural pas
sage for today we cannot help but
reflect that human nature chang
es very little through the centu
ries. The earth, the sea, -the firm
aments may change radically in
answer to the inexorable demands
of nature and the universe . . .'
but man's nature stays pretty
constant ruled by self-interest,
fluctuating faith, money-worship,
lack of self -discipline; bemoaning
our fate when things go wrong;
coasting along on the crest of the
wave when things go right and
all too often forgeting from,
whence our blessing flowl
Our Lesson todlay concerns the
decendants of Israel . . . that gen

latence when the. Lord led iheiH
forefathers out from the bondage
of Egypt True, tJiey had been re
galetf with! the Mstor ofhose
happendngaj ' these event ' were
tflis .foundations of , their faith.
But , .. . wMh'tlhe band of the,
Lord upon them, they bad never
theless conquered a pagan nation.
InteMnarriage inevitably follow
ed, and there were many converts
to the worship of pagan goals,
foremost of which were Baal and
Aztarte god and goddess of
fertility. i
Time and time again God ap
pointed one to be a Judge, to lead1
the people and deliver them from
their sinning; time and time a-
gain they were delivered, but, as.
each leader came to the end of his
allotted lifelspan, time and time
again Israel returned to her old
ways . . . the easy ways of idola
try and self-worship. God's in
finite patience was sorely tried,
but He never gave up hope of sav
ing Israel, nor of her taking her
rightful place in His plan.
As we have pointed out earlier
in this Lesson, man's nature
changes little over the years. To-
ttay we have false gods not
Baal or 'Aztarte but false gods,
nevertheless. Prestige, money,
greed, avarice . . . the gods of
self-pleasure, whereby respect for
ourselves and others, as indivi
duals, with individual rights, be
comes non-existent We often
times forget our loyalties ... to
ourselves, our loved ones, to man
kind in total but, above all, to
God.
We, today, live in a world of
confusion ... as did the Israelites
when the nation was finding it
self. We, too, are as blind as she
was; God delivered, exhorted, for
gave, rewarded . . . time after
time. Yet time after time the
people forgot God, delivered them
selves to false gods, stiff ered, re
pented, prospered . . . time after
time! The lesson came hard. And
it seems it is as hard for us to,
learn today, with history spead
before us! !
Christ's command to mankind)
remains unchanged, as He is un
changing. Christ, to Gideon, said
"Go ye" (Judges 6:14; Matthew
28:19-20) ... and He says that
to each one of us today. He is
forever looking for men of strong
faith, of boundless lore of fellow

NOTICE OF
man, to lead us, His people.
To be really true, good Chris
tians we do not necessarily have
to be overbearing with our be
liefs. Personal example of Chris
tian living, Christian concern,
quietly and unobtrusively per
formed can have more impact on
mankind, both on personal an!'
national levels, than all the Ho
sannas and "bible-thumping"' of
the lustier types.
A receptive ear, an understand
ing and forgiving heart, an act of
positive kindness, quietly and un
obtrusively performed, becomes
mute testimony to the strength
and beauty of Christianity . . .
an example that leads others out
of confusion to deep personal con
victions and values, both at a per
sonal and national level.
How Christian-oriented are you ?
. . . your home? . . . your Church?
How fearless? How un -confused ?

"FOOD FOR THOUGHT"
By
Sugar Campbell
Honesty is the best policy, but
he who is governed by that maxim
is not an honest man. ,
The man who insists on seeing
with perfect clearness before he
decides, never decides.
Baloney is flattery so thick it
cannot be true, but blarney is flat
tery so thin we Uks it.
Great works are performed not
by strength but by perseverance.
You can understand people bet
ter if you look at them no mat
ter how old or impressive they
may be as if they are children.
Far most of ua never mature: we
simply grow taller.
