Indifference win keep a j man from Christ just as effectively |as open rejection, A childlike faith, on the other hand, will bring a man iotrrdelightful fellowship with Him in both life and service. The Lord gives rest for thsvsoul and compan­ ionship in the yokefellowship of Christian service. I, Childish Disssfisfseiioa (w . 18- 19). ' . . Jesus, who was skilled in the art of teaching, took a familiar scene from the daily life of the people to show how utterly childish was the criticism of His enemies: Children at play, trying to Interest their com-' panions, present * wedding «dene of great joy with, no response. They then try the opposite with no better result; The enemies of Christ were Just like such children, and His enemies are the same today. Opposition to the gospel tikes to clothe itself in learned phraseology and express it- . ;lf in the terms of dignified logic, hut in fact it is hut an expression of personal feelings encouraged by the devil and altogether like those of disgruntled children- Not often does it show its true nature in a forth­ right expression of unbelief and in­ fidelity, for it prtfers to hide be­ hind some self-righteous criticism which it can level against Christian people or against their faith. Why notbe honest, unbeliever who reads these lines, and tell the truth about your reasons tor failing to accept Christ, When you do that you will find that they are not rea­ sons at all hut only excuses, and there wlU then be' hope tor your re­ pentance and conversion. II, Deadly ladiffefeaee (w . 20-34). Rejection Of Christ may be and all too often is simply indifference to His holy person-and work. Je­ sus pronounced an awful judgment on the cities which had been hon­ ored by IBs presence And His great works, and which should have been awed by Hi* message and power but which bad passed Him by in bored indifference. These again aura typical of count­ less thousands who today comfort themselves by saying, ”1 do not op­ pose the Church; I'm not against Christianity- I just don’t take any position either for or against." By so doing they have declared them­ selves to b* Against Christ. Jesus said, “ He that i* not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad" (Matt, 12:30). Let not such think for a moment that their judgment shall be less severe than th of the cities of Chorazin and u, .n- saidat III, Childlike Faith <w. 25, 25). God the Father and our Lord Je­ sus Christ have a great and loving interest in the touching beauty of the faith of a child. The unques­ tioning dependence, the absolute as­ surance of tha child heart, these are the things that receive an answer from the Almighty, This Is not intended to reflect In any way on those who may have learning, wisdom and power but who with all have maintained a childlike humility, God knows them and hon­ ors and uses them. The point we do want to make is that all too often learning and standing in this world are a barrier between men and God simply because men put their trust in these things and not in Him. It is always a serious mat­ ter when a man permits his God- given ability to think, to coma be­ tween him and God. What tolly it is to expect the Infinite and eternal God who made all things, including the brain of man, to in turn pass through the narrow compass of finite thinking, IV, Rpstfat Ceeiptaioeshlp (vr. 27-30), A study of tha theories and philos­ ophies of this world leads only to unrest. Bewildered and unhappy is ibe man who put* his trust In them. But in Christ the weary and be­ labored human soul will find per­ fect and eternal rest. Why then doc* the mass of men reject Him to" go on to wander in despair? The rest which w* find in Christ' is not a useless and inactive repose. Far from it, It is a blessed yoke- fellowship with Christ in carrying forward Hia work, Here man finds his real usefulness, tor only here is he liberated from the limitations of sin and self and Joined in a yoke with the One to whom dwelle aU wisdom and power, T-nn/—— ■ LEGAL NOTICE Irene May Guenther, whose place of residence Is unknown, will take notice that on October 18,1089, Torrence 0.
