By J. F. Wilcox
THEME—Wisdom Literature in
the Bible (Temperance). Prov.
10:1-9; Ecclesiastes 2:1-3.
Our Lesson Committee has as
signed for study nine separate
proverbs, three groups of pro
! verbs, three chapters from the
Book of Ecclesiastes, and a few
verses from the Epistle of James.
Religious Teachers in Israel. In
Jeremiah 18:18 reference is made
to three classes of religious teach
ers in Israel. There was the priest,
who expounded the law; there
was the prophet, who received the
word of God direct from Him and
transmitted it to the people; and
then there were “the Wise,” to
whom men looked for “counsel,”
practical advice in the handling of
their everyday problems. It is the
work of these wise m.en that is
represented by our Book of Prov
erbs, which is a collection of max
ims presented as practical guides
for daily living, pervaded and
given real dignity by a religious
view of life. In Job and Ecclesi
astes the wise men are dealing
with the profound question as to
whether life has real value,
whether it is worth living at all.
Is the religious view of the world
and of life in it well founded? Is
the universe morally governed?
But in Proverbs this question is
not raised. The book never waiv
ers in the faith that a righteous
God rules in the affairs of men.
Hence its guiding principle is “the
fear of the Lord”—an Intelligent
and deeply reverential apprecia
tion of the divine character as
uniting ultimate power and per
fect goodness, an attitude which
accepts God’s rule as the only way
to true richness of life.
Wine Is a Mocker. Out of the
dim past comes the story of a
young cup-bearer. Cyrus by name.
He has been appointed to serve
his grandfather Astyages the king.
In serving the first time, he pre
sented the cup to the king with
a dexterity and grace that
charmed Astyages and his mother,
who was also present. The king
embraced him with great fond
ness, and said, “I am well pleased,
my son. No one can serve with
better grace. But you have for
gotten an essential ceremony—
that of tasting.” “No,” replied Cy
rus, “it was not through forget
fulness that I omitted this cere
mony. I realized that there was
poison in the cup.” “Poison, child!
How could you think so?” “Yes,
poison, sir, for not long ago, at an
entertainment you gave for the
lords of the court, after the guests
had drunk a little of that wine, I
noticed that all their heads were
turned: they sang, made a noise,
and talked they did not know
what. You yourself seemed to
have forgotten that you were a
king.” “Why,” asked Astyages,
“have you never seen the same
thing happen to your father?”
“No, never,” said Cyrus, “When
my father drinks, he drinks
water.”
Dusting Off The
Truth
TIMI TO DUST IT OIF
By Rev. L. S. Goolsby, D-D.
We passed a large gasoline truck
on the highway today. Such trucks
as are seen any day on roads that
are long and winding, up-hill and
i down hill. The aim of the drivers
is to deliver the goods to their
proper destinations.
Overhead are planes, making
their daily schedules. Their aim
is to transport passengers, and
when known danger of a crash
is discovered, in order to save life,
bailing out bocomes the order.
Great ships carry on commerce
of the nation, loaded with passen
gers and freight. They have a
pilot whose aim is to make a suc
cessful voyage. If danger arises
from a boisterous sea, the anchor
is cast.
The Christian Church is meta
phorically spoken of as “The Old
Ship of Zion.” This ship is on
the mystic sea of life, and the
ministerial pilots, with their of
ficial help, must not be less zeal
ous than the driver of the truck
I or the pilot of the plane.
| The church is dealing in the
wares of the kingdom of God—
Love, Mercy, Peace, Salvation and
the landing of souls safely over
to life eternal. There can be no
bailing out. The surest thing to
do is to abide with the ship.
We recently observed an in
stance of two men in a boat. The
boat capsized. One of the men
could swim but the other could
not. The man who could not
swim held onto the boat and was
saved. The swimmer tried to
reach shore by swimming, but
tired and drowned before he
reached it.
Christians must stay with the
“Old Ship of Zion” (the church)
for it has an anchor, which, if let
down deep enough, will strike the
“Rock of Eternal Ages.” It will
hold in any storm. Can we an
swer Jesus as the early Apostles—
“We can drink of the same cup
and be baptized with the same
baptism.” What about that?
In Addison’s allegory “The Vis
ion of Mirza,” the Spectator made
Mirza wise unto many ftiings. As
he contemplated the vanity of
human life, he reached the con
clusion that man is but a shadow
and life a dream. He was shown
a great valley that had a great
mist at each end. There was a
tide that came out of the mist at
the upper end of the valley and
flowed into the mist at the lower
end. This he regarded to be Time
—coming out of eternity and flow
ing back into eternity. There was
a great bridge over the tide (or
stream), but it did not extend all
the way across. Everybody had
to go onto the bridge and all fell
through at some point, signifying
death. Beyond the bridge were
thousands and thousands of
islands full of verdant beauty,
sweet music and happy people.
Our faith is that God has pro
vided prepared a place of happi
ness for all who trust Him—even
if we do drink of the same cup
of bitterness and sorrow in this
life. After the Cross comes the
Crown.
