Study Human
Nature
, Many readers constantly re
: solve to Improve their minds
by reading lntelllgentlywrltten
books In the hope they will
: become better equipped to
understand the many issues
within this modern world.
I The Impulse Is good, and
should be acted upon, but often
tfi our search for the new we
overlook the value of the old.
i For this reason, we would
f emlitd our readers that, with all
modern Issues, however expres
- fed, human nature asserts lt
sol much the same as It did In
past ages. Therefore, the basic
Study for us is human nature
and the solution tor modern
troubles Is Improved human be
ings.' ! By the general consent of al
most all mankind, the Bible has
)ong been recognized as pre
eminent In the field of human
nature, possessing fundamental
guides for Improving human be
ings. It might be a good Idea,
then, for all of us to give a
IJttle more study to the great
truths set out In the Book of
Books.

Veteran's

Veterans seeking home loans
guaranteed by the Veterans Ad
ministration are advised by W,R,
Phillips, Manager of the
Winston-Salem Regional Office,
to be cautious about getting In
volved in "side deals" r tie-in-sales"
as a condition to pur
chasing a home.
There have been cases in
which veterans have been re
quested or even required to pur
chase items of furniture or other
merchandise, Phillips said.
These are paid for in cash
and not from the proceeds of
the loan guaranteed or insured
by the VA. In some cases the
items have been so overpriced
as to constitute additional con
sideration for the purchase of
a home,
Sometimes these offers are
legitimate and benefit the vet
eran, and the VA has no ob

' MAN'S RESPONSE TO GOD'S GIFT
International Sunday School Lesson for Decembr 31, 1967
: Memory Selection! "Bring ye all the tithes into the store
house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me
how herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If I will jwt open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to receive it," - (Malachl
3:W) - , . ...
Lesson Textt
The background for today's lesson Is in the Book of
Malachl, '"'Instead . MlcahV", The underglrdlug . concern,-, .
however, remains the same. , , ,,,4',
God had expected much of Israel as He led the Israelites
out of bondage and slavery in Egypt and Into the Promised
Land . . . but Israel had disappointed Him in net .response
to Him, .'V;:' - ,.V,,;'.'.
. Israel had committed every sin in the book . . .spirit- ,
ually, morally, and sinned against her fellowmen. Idolatry,
perjury, adultery, transgressions against neighbors . . .
these were the order of the day, and the Lord looked upon
this state of affairs with abhorrence. And these sins are
still an abomination in His sight today.
One of the ordinances which Israel had flagrantly vio
lated was that of tithing. To the Jews tithing was a matter
of law. To the true and devout, tithing is not a legal require- -ment
- it is a Christian PRIVILEGE. We cannot always be
on the receiving end of life; we must give and somewhat ad
Just the balance of the scales. .
In Israel the tithe was to be one-tenth of the crops,
which God had provided in His bounty; this tenth was to be v
brought to the temple and put at the disposal of the priests'' '
ultimately to be used by them for the relief of the poor
and needy , , , the purpose for which it was divinely In- i
tended. . -
But Israel had fallen down in her response to God's .
gifts, and had not honored her commitment to tithe. There
had therefore been a long drought in the land, and a plaque," :
and these expressions would only be lifted If Israel ful
filled her an :!nted place in God's plan, rendering unto Him
His Just d'j ,iai becoming an exemplary nationt -His
Just d , and becoming an exemplary nation to those
surrounuliij ldr, .. "
We ir- t be acutely aware of the tact that today's pas.
ages r. r expllclty to God's covenanted people, who
were k ud to the laws of Moses. Today, as Christians,
we are not bound by such laws. However, tithing is a
rev .t acknowledgment of God's blessings upon us -sn
t :.nowledgment which will bring us greater spirlUU i
blessings than t:.!rs material, ' '
