The Christian’s Place in the
Life of His Nation.
Lesson for December 9: Mat
thew 5:13-16, 43-48; I Peter
2:13-17.
Memory Selection: Psalms 33: ,
12.
“Ye are the salt of the earth.”
Salt makes its presence known.
It . has a saving quality. The
Christian must be a stable and.
saving influence.
Light depends upon its source.
The best of men have no light in
themselves; they shine, like the
moon, only with reflected light,
with a glory that comes from
afar. And every light is made to
shine—its place is not under a
bushel but on a candlestick. As
a Christian’s life shines, men see
his good works and g'lorify the
Father—for the good the Christ
ian does and for his wholesome
influence.
You must preserve your poise
in wrongs done you. Don't “fight
the devil with fire”—he has more
fire than you. Don't “stoop to
conqueror,” for in winning that
way you will be conquered. Do
more than love those who love
you. It is hard to love some per
sons, but try. True sonship to
God requires you to love even
your enemies and to pray for
those who persecute you.
Good citizenship is Christian
duty. Protest the wrongs that in
jure the souls of your people.
Exercise your franchise; vote
your convictions. But be an ex
ample of high citizenship in
obeying “every ordinance of man
for the Lord's sake,” and by
“well-doing” you may “put to
silence the ignorance of foolish
men.” Given them no. cause to
attack your character as a cit
izen.
Honoring all men, loving the
brotherhood, fearing God, and
honoring the king, you will have
your high place in the life of the
nation.
