JEREMIAH, A SPOKESMAN OF

International Sunday School Lesson
for November 27, 1949
Memory Selection: "Who unto him
thnt hltilifath Mb hfliiu Ytv iiTiTiio-hr-
eousness, and Ms chambers by in
justice; that useth hk neighbor', ser
vire without wages, and giveth him
not his hire." Jeremiah 22: 13.
- Lesson Text: Jeremiah 1: 9-10, 18-19;
s22: 1-3, 13-14; 37: 15-17.
' Jeremiah was born at Anathoth, a
little town a few miles from Jeru
ealtm, not very far from the birth
place of the prophet, Amos. Early
in life, Jeremiah came to Jerusalem
wtare he was the ally of the Good
King Joaiah in his various efforts
to reform the people of Judah.
. Throughout the reign of the last
fhe Icings of the nation, Jeremiah
continued to preach the inevitable
judgement approaching his country
men for their sin and renudiation of
Jehovah, which culminated with the
captivity of Jerusalem and the cap
tivity of a great number who were
carried to Babylon. Jeremiah re
mained in Judah for a few years af
terwards, then went into Egypt,
wheie tradition assert that be met
a martyr's death.
In the first chapter of the book,
Jeremiah tells of the divine call which
ho received and relates how he sought
to avoid the duty of preaching the
destruction of his people by remon
strating with the Lord that he was
not a good speaker.
In this respect he was like Moses,
who sought to avoid his call to ser--vice
by saying, "I am not eloquent."
Other great leadens of Israel had
done likewise, Saul, Joshua, Paul,
Mark, etc. But God knows the hearts
and possibilities of men and he re
fused to accept Jeremiah's explana
tion, saying to him that he should
not be afraid for Jehovah would be
with him.
J t required a great deal of courage
for Jeremiah to accept and carry out
: his mission, .so thankless, and unap
preciated by those he sought to save.
The priests and prophets of his day
were" OTrropt and y worldly-minded.
The Kingsand rulers were devoid,
for the iwieF iattEiny serious re
ligious acceptance of Jehovah, and
the people, as a whole, had been
drawn to the worship of various idols
and the , neglect of their spiritual
wtJl-being.
To these, Jeremiah was asked to
deliver a message of condemnation,
punishment and sorrow, which by its
very nature was a declaration that
would array the recipients against
'him, laying him open to being called
a false prophet and a traitor to ,hi3
t country.
' Regardless of this, unmindful of his
own townspeople, who sought to take
his life, the 4reachery of hi own
family, -or the punishment which in
furiated, rulers meted out to him,
Jeremiah persevered in delivering his
unpopular and rejected message. That
required a high moral courage rare
ly encountered in human beings.
The same great need for courage
and frankness in religious matters
has been evidenced in the lives of
many great leaders, whose words and
actions show that they were sustain
ed by a firm assurance that God was
on their side. Bishop Latimer was
once rebuked by Henry 8th and or
dered to apologize for some of his
remarks in a sermon. As he began
to preach the following Sunday, he
audibly reminded himself that he was
speaking before the King of England
who could take his life, but, further,
that he -was an ambassador of the
King of Kings and had orders td de
liver his message. c
So John Knox declared, "I am in a
place where conscience bids me apeak
the troth," and Luther made' his cele
brated avowal: "Here I stand; I can
- not otherwise, God help me."
Jeremiah faithfully delivered his
painful message at the gate of the
temple, on the festival day, at the
royal palace, at the gates of the city,
or wherever he could obtain the lar
gest audience, this faithful servant of
duty delivered the condemnation of
, God to his hearert. Those who were
entrusted with religion ahd proved
faithless and Jeremiah quotes XJod to
them, "the pastors are become brutish
and have not sought the Lord.
The expedient and false prophets
received this message from God
through Mm, "the
name; I sent them not, neither have
I commanded them, neither spake I

The fcbliflay season it here, and Mother is bring
ing home baskets of tempting food. One glance
at the assorted nuts, the fruits, the puddings and
cakes, reminds us that we will soon be enjoying
the treats of Thanksgiving.
But enjoying our blessings is not enough. We
must be thankful as; well and true thanks is
possible only when we share with others.
When in the joy and excitement of the moment
we stop to remember those who are less fortunate,
we are not only bringing nappiness to others, but
we are making our own pleasures more
genuine, more deeply felt.
In order to develop generosity and in
deed all virtues, we must join wholeheart
edly in the work of the Church. Here we
learn how to serve our fellow men most
effectively, and in so doing, enrich our
own lives.
