gfsy;sos!00t:LESSOiiir" PETER ENCOURAGES SUFFER ING CHRISTIANS International Sunday School Lesson far August 17, 1941 Golden Text: "If a man suf fer si a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on his behalf" I Peter 4:16 Leaaon Text: I Peter 4:12-19; 6-lL - Before placing a new product on the market, the wise manufacturer submits that product to all kinds of tests. Before a new automobile model is put on sale, it ia subjected to tests on a proving ground. It is driven under all circumstances which the automobile is likely to meet dur ing the life of the car over rough roads, in rain, in mud, up hill, down hill and at all speeds from very slow to the fastest speed possible. Any new automobile, if it is any good at all, can withstand ordinary usage, if properly driven and care fully taken care of. That is to be expected. However, the real test .comes when it has to meet and over come unusual circumstances. How it performs unner such circumstances definitely determines its quality in ferior or suDerior. The same is true of tne Christian life. It is easy to be a Christian when the going is easy, when every one about us is interested, as we are, and when it suits our convenience to do the things required of us. But the real test of our Christianity our love for and faith in Jesus Christ comes when trials come, when we are ridiculed by our associates for stand ing for our principles and when it requires real fortitude to be faithful. Peter, in writing to the Jews who had been scattered all over Asia Minor because of the persecution of the believers in Palestine, and also to some Gentile believers, who were now being persecuted, because they were Christians, urged them not to be surprised if they had to suffer hardship. Jesus himself had pre dicted that they would suffer so, (Matt. 5:11-12; John 16:33.) Peter reminded the sufferers that, through their suffering, they would be better able to understand and appreciate the suffering which Christ had under gone for them, and thus be "partak ers of Christ's suffering." Because they were suITering simp ly because they were Christians and not because they were evil-doers, Peter urged them to remember that they had nothing to be ashamed of, but rather that they should rejoice. All down through the ages, Chris tians have been persecuted not be cause they had done wrong, but sim ply because they bore the name of Christ and were not ashamed or afraid to acknowledge the fact. Today, all over the world, Chris tians are suffering actual persecu tion, some of it too horrible to men tion, simply because of their faith In Jesus Christ. These persecutions are figurative "fiery furnaces" which are proving the reality of their Chris tian experiences. While we, here in America, are not being called on to suffer persecution for our faith, we, as individual Christians, are always subjected to tests which are our own "fiery furnaces," trying out the met al whether it be gold or dross. We should not complain about these tests. Every trial is a judg ment Temptation tests an individual. Sorrow, sickness, and suffering are crises in life which test men and women. The reaction of an individ ual to these tests of life either builds or destroys character. The tests may be either turned into vo tary, or a defeat, depending upon how the individual meets them. How should we meet the tests, or persecutions, in life? Peter says that the Christian should meet them with humility, remembering his lit tleness and his sinfulness. He also says the Christian can cast his bur den on Christ, for he cares for us. He guards his children as a loving shepherd cares for his sheep. The Christian should also meet the trials of life calmly and patiently, remem bering the example of Christ, who was calm and patient in suffering. Christians should, lastly, be watch ful, looking out for and avoiding temptations and pitfalls which bring suffering. Satan, to whom Peter re fers as an adversary who goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may destroy, must be resisted to the last, holding the line against his evil machinations, which destroy not only the body, but also the soul. Letters From Boys Serving The USA Eglin Field. Fla. August 5, 1941. Mr. Max Campbell, Editor, The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, North Carolina. Dear Max: Thought I would drop you a few lines to let you know where the boys are who were drafted July 23. Per cell Gregory, Vick Stallings and Clyde Harris were sent to Barksdale Field, La., on July 30. Julian E. Dail, William Bundy, Julian Hobbs Graham Trueblood and I left Fort Bragg on July 31 for Eglin Field, Florida. Murray Pierce was still stationed at Fort Bragg when we left, although he will probably be transferred. All of the boys seemed rather dis appointed upon their arrival to find that they were to sleep in tents during the six weeks training period. The huts are comfortable and most all are 'getting accustomed to them rapidly. The disappointment is grad-j nally wearing away now that we have found out that we had a large scale recreation plan set up for us before arrival. We have bapeball, Softball, volley ball, tennis,' high jumping, boxing, archery, badminton, and swimming. Out of this group of sports, most all of the men have se lected one or two as their favorite and participate daily. Eglin Field is just two miles in land from Choctawha tehee Bay on the Gulf of Mexico.' We have a very nice beach here although we are only allowed to swim during certain hours due to the fact that there are avia tion bombardment and gunnery tar gets just off shore. There are a number of boats here also that, are for the use of Eglin Field soldiers. Eglin Field is a permanent place in the Army's air program and is ra pidly expanding. I noticed in the Field paper that Robert A. Lovett, Under-Secretary of war for air, on his recent inspection here, expressed keen interest in the facilities for re pair and maintenance of military air craft at Eglin Field and was enthus iastic about the almost unlimited possibilities lor further development of the field situated on a military re servation of 318,000 acres, the larg est in the United States. This field is used for the air corps' proving I ground for new types of planes, avia tion armament and other devices as well as for recruit and advanced cadet training for the Army Air Corps. Now, that I have let you know what has been happening here, please be sure to add my name to your sub scription list in order that I may know what is happening back where I now call my home.
