Proverbs II 22 The Ten Commandments. U.e study of which we conclude today (the rrma;r.inj irsionj of the quar ter deal with other laws), have beet reveait-d to us ss bemg{ character ized by their brevity, their cc.sr.pre hers ve touch with all of life, and fidelity to the right But they are also unique and different froir. all oth.r laws in that they reach into the inner recesses uf a man's heart, a realm where only Gcd can judge at.d act This I. t commandment (against covetous;. > emphasizes tr.at point, for it dec > i.vt expressly require or forbid . y art. but deals with the motive of s action. Man can Juuke an man's acts, but he cannot jua^e jus motives, desires or thoughts. Ccd must do that. But rren Cun. by the grace of God. c ..Mol his motives; and hence we have tii.s commandment and its interpretation. I. Covetousness — What It is (Exod. 20:17). To covet does not mean Just to desire, tut to have an unrestrained desire lor that which we ought not to have or which by right belongs to another. It si- as itself in our day in a more gt-r.cral way — an inordinate desire for pos<essions in general. There too man loses himself. Jt may be a surprise to many to learn that cavitir-g. or desiring what be longs to another, is a sin. It has be come one of the “respectable sms" accepted in the best circles and practiced by many church people. As a matter of fact, this sin under lies all the other a ns against which, the commandments speak. He who has a love for money and an evil desire to have his neighbor's pos sessions will bate. lie. steal, cheat, kill. In fact, as Or. G. Campbell Morgan says, “The whole realm o> human interrelations is disorgan-, lzed and broken up -by the 'dishonor ing t* the tenth commandment." 3 | : f — II. Covetousness — What It Does IProv 11 23. 24; Luke 12 13-21). 1. It Makes a Man Stingy tProv. 11:23 24) The righteous man seeks |hat which is gi* d and he knows tii *■« ii. • C* --fisted stinginess i Kh.cti wiinn id' : m God and man. . Son «.i me* to »t ire is to lose, anc to te lie .ai is to gain— especially in t e Dungs of God. God gives ii -ally (James 1:5), and th- man w o knows God scat ters r.->t <• ly Lis money, but his r » . i. . u ai.e. service for God's *1 .r> in sad contrast is the man who kc t« hit ions for himself ai r *ps or v ,,e barrenness oi soul and leamv.-ss of life. 2. Ii Makes a Man Envious (Luke 12:13-1S>. Noting the ability of Jesus in dealing with others, thi man thought to divert the Lord froi. his real r. i -istry to the souls of men to the settling of social problems— all bee. is« he was greedy. S n e church leaders think that is our business now — to preach and promote a social gospel. They bad better reread verse 14. 3 It Makes a Man Selfish (Luke 12:16. 17) The one who was known to his friends as the “rich man" tv. 16) w.s known to God as a "fool** (v. 20). because having more than he could use he hoarded it for huns f. One wonders what he had to say for himself when that very night he was called into the pres ence of G d to give an account of h.s stewardship (v. 20). If you are sinuUily situated and have the same attitude, what will you say to that day? 4. It Makes a Man Proud tLi:'*e 12 ltti All around him ware the hungry. He n cud no barns, fur there -tore the empty hands of the needy; but money had made hen hard and proud. He would hulls bigger %arr.s. perhaps the highest in that community. People would mar vel at his prosperity and he would live long to enjoy it. But it d:d not work out mat way. for. alas, it is true of covet ousness that— 5 It Makes a Man r'oulis.. -Luke 12 19-21». The man who reckons without God is sure to come to grief. Leaving him out of one's thinking and planning invitee dis aster. God called, and ne who hac thought to go on for years in self ish pleasure, found that he must go and leave tt all. Worse yet. he had to face the judgment of God upon his el< mai soul Do not fail to note that there is a way to lay up treasures in heaven —by a “close walk with Christ, com ing to appreciate and cultivate the joys of the spirit.** and so using one's possessions that they count for the glory of God. Even gold can be so invested for God as to send it on to eternity. What an oppor tunity!

JOHNS AME CHURCH 22nd and Willis Ave. Reverend E. B. Chill dress Mason Devereaux Jr., reporter St. Johns Howell’s on "Howell Sunday” Sept. 8 with one of its most successful spiritual services of this conference year. The men’s chorus under the direction of H. L. Preston did themselves more than proud in rendering the more than heart-warming Christian songs on this occasion. The con gregation that filled the church showed appreciation of the many men for this fine service of the day was reverberated throughout the church auditorium. Our minister was at his best; de livering as usual one of his inspir ing and soul stirring messages. Taking as his text Matt. 26:28 his subject being "My soul is exceed ingly sorrowful”. Thoughts from this sermon are: Victory comes thru faith; whenever a man does the will of God with or without the approval of the world he is victor ious; God can't use a man unles~ he lends his hand that God might use it as an instrument; if a man or woman doesn’t give to God or do the work assigned to him or her God will move that man or wo man and raise another who will do what should have been done, and finally, do as He pleases but in the final analysis he must ack nowledge that God’s way is very straight. Rev. John Adams, pre e’’d>nor elder of the Kansas City district delivered the morning ser mon. Visitors Mrs. R. Maxwell; Mr Roosevelt Cawthorne: Mrs. and Mrs. Jake Smith, Dallas, Texas: Mrs. Came Brownlee, Oakland; Mrs. Alice Wright, Memphis, Ark. sister of Bro. Clark. It is good to see the excellent manner in which the members and auxiliaries of St. Johns are resp onding to their annual conference assessment. The Progressive 24 turned in S60 and the Sunday School $36 all with the many $3 from the members indicates the enthusiasm of the entire member shin of our church in seeing that this Christian cause shall be vic torious and that St. John shall be in its place as the leading church in the district.

HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH 30th and Corby Streets H. H. Schauland, Pastor The eminent author and journ alist, Dr. Wa T. Ellis, recently wrote: “We have got to the end of our human resources. We have victoriously fought two world wars that have left us with a heritage of grief and destruction and hun ger and horror. Clearly, the great ends we seek are to be obtained “not by arms, nor by force”. The Holy Spirit, promised by the pro phets and bestowed by Christ, can do what is impossible to unaided man. He can turn the thoughts of sinful man to salvation and right eousness. He can make up what ever is lacking in mortal effort.. Our dependence in this hour of de cision is upon Him and our expec tation is from Him”. The Holy Spirit comes to us thru the word of God as found in the Bible. This i9 a fundamental doc trine of the Bible. That is why we must use the Bible in our homes and churches. All our teaching and preaching must be based on this Book of Books. This next Sunday may the Holy Spirit cause all of us to say with the Psalmist “I was glad wrhen they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord”. Services at Hope Lutheran begin at 11 am. The sermon topic will be “True Freedom”, based on John 8:31-36. Come. Sunday school and Bible class at 10 am. On Sept. 15th the Rev. E.

H. Buchheimer, Pastor of Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Detroit, and summer guest speaker on the Lutheran Hour, on Sept. 1, 8 and 15. Saint Louis, Missouri, September 15 (Special) A plea for deeper consecration to spiritual values was issued today by the Reverend E. H. Buchheimer, pastor of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Detroit, Michigan and summer guest speaker on the International Lutheran Hour. In the last of his three addresses, over the Mutual Broadcast ing System and affiliated stations, Pastor Buchheimer declared: “Active worldliness is a tragic thing to see. Here are the men who know where they have given their hearts, who are staking everything I on the world and are out to take it for all it is worthmen and j women who would “such deeply of life” as Thoreau put it, ‘and draw out all the marrow.’ Here are the financial Titans whose one aim is to build great industrial empires, cavalier hosts who sing wine, women and song; adventurers who penetrate jungles and dive deep into the sea, and through the stratosphere.All of them in j the desperate battle against time to lay up for themselves treasures j on earth alone, as Scripture puts it.It is tragic because no man , living has ever yet won that battle against time and because the treasures of earth are never worth the best of human effort.” Pastor Buchheimer continued: “Christian faith stakes everything i on the world to come. We can’t lose. It isn’t as though we give up J one world for the other. This is a game of winner take all. We get both worlds to live in: one is the world of time and space, in which men march in picket lines, and hang war criminals and test A-bombs, a world in which men are young, become middle-aged. | grow old and die; and one is the world of eternity, in which child ren are brought to be touched byGod’s Holy Spirit in the Water of ; Holy Baptism, to hear the precious promses of the Master in His Holy Word; in which men and women look up through tears and pain and joy and laughter to heaven and the eternal life above. It j is like eating cake and having it too. Living, even *ow, in eternity.” | we, the people i .——— heimer of Detroit, Mich., will talk | on the subbject: “Love Not the World”, over KBON at 11:30. ; MORNING STAR BAP. CHURCH Rev. Z.
