Lesson Textr Isaiah 1:11-17; John 4:19-24; Colossians 3:16. Isaiah, -th greatest of the Hebrew prophets, condemned hypocritical wor ship, just as his, predecessors had done lAmos declared: "I hate, I de spise your feasts and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies . . . But let justice roll down as- waters and righteousness as a mighty stream." ' Hosea said: "I desire goodness, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Micah said: 'He hath showed me, O man, what is good; and what "doth Jehovah require of thee but "to do justly and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Speaking: through Isaiah, Jehovah says,;"I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; your new moons and. your ap pointed feasts my soul hateth . ; , When ye make many prayers, I will not hear: ' Your hands are full of blood. " Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek justice; relieve the' oppressed; : judge the fatherless; plead for the widow." . . . 'We have all noticed the vast dif . ference , between : religious ceremony and moral life," declared Frederick B. ' Fisher, "it may be said with truth that as the moral life of a people de clines, the religious ceremony seems to increase. The history of religious reform is ( the story , -of rebellion against excessive ritual and cor : responding ,toty'tera1V',aAAfc strangely, the older an organized re . ligion becomes, the more ritualistic it is. "It was this fact which aroused Isaiah. He was a prophet of ethics. He could not bear to hear the name of God mentioned at a sacred altar by wicked priests; nor could he under stand how wicked laymen could enter the temple; take part in the sacred ceremonies of . worship, ' and ; come forth seemingly satisfied, when their lives were openly immoral. It was an intellectual appeal that he made." In his conversation with the Sa maritan woman at Jacob's well,' near Sychar, Jesus taught the principles of true worship. The' story is familiar and we are not concerned with any phase of it except the part of his con versation which'deals with ' worship. In order to change the subject of con versation from her own personal sin and need of a savior, the woman asked Jesus to settle the long-standing dis pute between the Jews and the Sa maritans as to the right place in which to-worship, a . Jesus pointed out that God may be worshiped anywhere, the place not mattering nearly so much as the man ner in which, the worshiper worships. ' He declared, "God is spirit and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth," Only sincere and real worship is acceptable to God. All worshipers need to remind themselves of thisfact if they are to grow as they should in their experience, and knowledge f God. . Paul, In "writing from his prison cell in Rome to the Christians at Co lossi, gave . these early Christians some sujrsrested aids to real worship. He recognized the value of "psalms and hvmns and spiritual songs' in trroun -worship, In addition to teach . ing 'and admonishing, and. studying the rwora or cinnsu- 'Because . regular, worship attend ance is a definite means of Christian growth, we are urged not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together (Heb. 10:25K .13e Christian who Is faithfully present at the public wor ship services of his church is the Christian-- who- will best prepared to face the daily trials of life.. . . BE A BITTER GO TO SOME CHUKCH "next'suiay;:, '4 Every Dad thinks his son is going to be a "world-beater." He's not counting on his young ster to floor the Champ for a count of ten, but he dreams of the day his boy will triumph over every obstacle to happiness and success. "World-beater" is a pretty descriptive name for what Dad envisions. The world is full of forces that destroy the best in a man. To make your life count for anything these days you have to vanquish those forces. It takes courage and stamina to win the struggle . . . a very special' kind of courage that is more spiritual than physical ... a very special kind of stamina that is more moral than muscular. , Sunday morning is a good time to begin. Weekly training in the Church can help father and son to gain the courage and stamina that wJU win every bout in life. N TO CHURCH FOB All . MI FOR THE Th. . .. n' earth for tu 'l""" urviv.
