SOW SCHOOL LESSON THE CHRISTIAN'S HOME International Sunday School Lesson for December 28, 1941 Golden Text: "In my Father's house are many mansions." John 14:2. Lesson Text: John 14:1-6; Revelations 22:1-5 As we come to the close of the quarter's course, our thoughts are directed towards the constant query of man, "What's it all about?" (Life comes and is experienced by ifaose who constitute it as a vast mystery. The human body, with its perfect mechanism, (unless disar- : ranged Jry .mart), is the only machine regularly and continually !m opera tion, save that 'of a few i other ani mals, and s to these iman. is far superior, , Yet there comes a time, j even 'iu uia miuw wimp vvviita, ...v. k , . I . .1 ... wnen f us imacnme ceases no operate. What then? . . The human mind has grappled for ages, with this vital problem.. There have been men in past ages who; felt the certainty -of another lifd, Socrates was one; so , was the savage: who buried the body of his chief and ur rounded it while in the grave with the utensils and weapons he might need' in the new1 world.. The distinc tion between' the body and the inner; consciousness, ,tne soul, bat long t. . ..1 t ... 1. . J M . . . ' oeen i i j inwuuna, Jor in pnm itiva there, are evidence that v y re- . .azed some great power or 4j.cce witiun himself whicT wt$ hlh. Ler than his body and" which controlled Throughout the history' of man kind, as far as we have been able' to read it, and apparently' contradicting the seeming' faith and belief . in im mortality, there has been, too, an evident dread of the state of death. A few suicides now and then of men in distress or fear form no basis for denying this universal apprehension of entrance into thV strange ihd un known realm which' follows life on this earth. Such voluntary dismis sals Were never caused by normal de sire to experience the life after the grave. From its earliest beginning, Chris tianity has held to s firm faith in an; eternal life after an earthly exist ence. It was emphatically and posi tively taught by Jesus time and again. The passage from John in our lesson text is one of these. The disciples were worried and unsettled. It was their last evening with the Christ, and It had been full of sur prise! The treachery of Judas had been denounced, the denial of Peter had been foretold, and the crucifixion of the Master made plainer. Under these circumstances came the com forting words, "Let not your heart be troubled," and an express statement of heavenly provision in the life to come, to emphasize the great truth , that existence on earth was not the end of man. So we have also, in the lesson text extracts from the epistles of Paul and Peter, the very earliest of Chris tian literature, which show how clear and frank was the Christian faith in a personal resurrection after death. I. As Paul says, however, "we walk by faith and not by Bight" in such mat ters, and can only labor that "we may be accepted of him," knowing that upon entrance into this greater life we shall have to account for the things done in the body. So John says looking towards the eternal life as the goal f6r each tti&n td Win that "every man that hath this hope In him purifieth himself.' This attitude towards death upon the part of Christians is explanatory of the fortitude and submission with which in all ages heroes of faith have endured much, for their eyes were upon another and greater ex istence. Life here was a, training school for them and should be so regarded by Christians of1 today, a preparation for companionship in a vaster and eternal existence only reached through the gates of physical 1 What bMr t-Hn ft . apptedaliM IM al' torn hor dan loi ui?

To such we would answer that death is gradually losing it fears for man, that ther art many who have lived righteous lives and who approach their end with no ter ror, and that in the course of the ages the Christian faith has already decreased and lessened the horror and dread of physical death tremendous ry. Many a sorrow has been quench ed by an unconquerable belief that the loved one still lives and waits. Weil-Rounded Program "My boy," said the magnate to his son, "there are two things that are vitally necessary if you are to suc ceed in business." "What are they, dad?" "Honesty and sagacity." "What is honesty?" "Always no matter what happens or how adversely it may affect you always keep your word once you have given it." "And sagacity' "Never give it."
