the tribune stouffville out thursday october 6 1919 sunday school lesson lesson for october 9 golden text cease to do evil learn to do well isa 116 17 approach to the lesson worship is ascribing worth to god it consists in the outpouring of the heart in adoration and thanksgiving of what god is and what he has done in showing grace to sinful mankind such worship can only be the outcome of a heart that knows god and is enjoying fellowship with him elaborate rituals and beautiful music are not worship no matter how pleasing they may be to the senses true worship and holiness of life go together the psalmist bids us worship the lord in the beauty of holiness psa 292 969 worship to be acceptable to god must be in accordance with his revealed truth they that worship the father our lord told the samar itan woman must do so in spirit and in truth john 4 24 of old the prophets insisted on piety toward god and uprightness on life before men as an absolute necessity to real worship forms and cere monies even though divinely com manded became meaningless and even obnoxious to god no matter how venerable when divorced from practical righteousness this is insisted on in the passages upon which our present lesson is based both isaiah and jeremiah sought to impress upon the consciences of the people of israel and judah the primary importance of practical godliness on the part of those who would draw nigh to jehovah the infinitely holy one zeal for ancient customs and outward show was obnoxious to god if divorced from integrity and conscientious devotion to the word of the lord nothing else will take the place of this on the part of those who would have access to god as worshipers the historical setting isaiah prophesied at a time of great declension in judah seeking to call his people to selfjudgment aid repentance from their careless lives and haughty selfconfidence jeremiah lived in the days of the great revival under the godly young king josiah but it is evident from his messages that with many of the people there was regulations applying to certain uses of electricity in ontario the hydroelectric power commission of ontario announces the following regulations made

that followed the influence of the great awakening soon died away verse by verse isa 111 to what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me god himself had com manded that these sacrifices be offered but when the people rested with smug satisfaction in these out ward ordinances while overlooking the importance of reality in their lives the very offerings became obnoxious to him and he found no delight in them verse 12 who hath required this at your hand they were substituting sacrifices for righte ousness whereas these very offer ings were ordained as an acknow ledgement of their sinfulness and need of divine mercy heb 103 they were never designed to take the place of uprightness in the lives of those who would draw near to god verse 13 it is iniquity even the solemn meeting the most sacred religious rites and cere monies are hateful to god when those who profess to worship him live in un judged sin and bring dis honor upon his holy name by their unholy lives thus manifesting the fact that they have never known the reality of regeneration titus 35 or if ever born of god have fallen into a sadly backslidden condition verse 14 your appointed feasts my soul hateth in these special religious days they pro fessed to honor god and to remem ber with gratitude his works of old or his more recent deliver ances but they had degenerated into mere holidays just as godless men today keep easter or christ mas with no sense of the real meaning of either of them all such hypocrisy is hateful to god verse 15 when ye make many prayers i will not hear people often think of prayer itself as though it were something meritor ious not only the romanist with his beads but the protestant with his cold formal and vain repeti tions may think he will be heard for his much speaking but no prayer is acceptable to god that is not the utterance 6f one who has been born again and is endeavour ing to walk before god in holiness and righteousness verse 16 wash you make you clean while no man can purge his own soul from sin god never theless calls upon all men every where to repent that is to change their attitude toward him toward self and toward sin it is only as grace works in the soul that one can purge himself from all filthi ness of the flesh and spirit per fecting holiness in the fear of god 2 cor 7 1 so god called his people of old to judge themselves in the light of his word and to put away all known evil in order that they might draw nigh to him verse 16 17 cease to do evil learn to do well what this involves is set forth clearly in the rest of the verse they were com manded to deal honestly with their brethren to show compassion to ward the needy and relieve the dis tressed there is no merit in so doing but such actions would indicate sincerity of heart toward god verse 18 come now and let us reason together it is only when men repent that they are in a position to appropriate the glad message of the gospel when they thus turn togod in faith their sins though scarlet are made white as snow and though crimsonred they become as pure white wool all this was in anticipation of the work of the cross for it is the blood of jesus christ alone that thus cleanseth from every sin 1 john 17 jer 73 amend your ways and your doings and i will cause you to dwell in this place be cause of their evil practices god had declared already that his people were about to go into cap tivity but it was not too late yet to seek his face and get right with him and so to enjoy once more his gracious care and protection verse 4 the temple of the lord are these it is vain to boast of ecclesiastical standing and religious privileges if the word of god as to practical behavior is ignored verse 5 if ye throughly amend your ways and execute judg ment between a man and his neighbour what was needed was a wholehearted return to righte ousness as between man and man and in the sight of god verse 6 if ye oppress not there were so many things to be put right god took note of their illtreatment of the needy the stranger and the distressed more over he was witness to the terrible practice of destroying un wanted babes shedding innocent blood a practice most abhorrent in his eyes if the people repented of all these things there was hope of mercy even though the babylonian army was on its way already determined to destroy jerusalem and enslave the nation verse 7 then will i cause you to dwell in this place in the land had there been but an honest response to the prophets plea the captivity would have been deferr ed but alas there was no evidence of contrition or of reformation on the part of priests or people business directory lehmans shoe store gloves shoes socks boots ana mitts footwear for ah the family stouffville phone
