page eight the tribune stouffville ont thursday august 1 1940 sunday school lesson lemon for sunday august 4 the two wavs golden text the ixrd kuoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the uiirodly shall perish psa 10 tlie lesson as a whole both of the passages which are before us in this lesson emphasize the two different ways by which men order their lives in this world the godly man walks the narrow path of denial of self and subjection to the word of god he builds upon the rock of divine revelation in this the lord jesus is our supreme ex ample he is in fact the blessed man of psalm 1 no one else has attain ed fully to the description of piety there given the man of the world orders his life to suit himself he takes the broad road of selfpleasing this may he positively wicked or smugly selfrighteus hut it is the path of the natural man who has never known god he builds upon the sand of human theory deluding himself with the idea that what appeals to his fancy must prove in the end satisfactory to god all sinners are not alike in their habits tastes and the things they seek after but all are ungodly tecanse they refuse to subject to him who created them tor ins own glory they all choose to walk acordlng to their own devices refusing the call to repentance and faith which if heeded would lead them to build upon the rock soon the storm of judgment will test everything and only those who have rested their souls on christ himself will stand the storm we need to remember that there must be a life by which we live before w can live the life of a christian verce by verse psa 11 blessed is the man this blessed man is gods ideal of what man ought to be in this scene it finds its perfect fulfillment in the holy behavior of our lord jesus christ who ever did the things that pleased the father we in our measure are called to walk as he walked 1 john 2g acording to the example he has left us 1 pet 221 to do this we must be regen erated titus 35 walketh not nor standeth nor sitteth it is a life of holy separation from all evil that is in view the blessed man is careful to avoid any partici pation with the ungodly so far as their attitude toward divine things is concerned verse 2 his delight is in the god is precious to him and is his spiritual food assimilated by medi tation jer 1516 vers- 3 like a tree planted by the rivers perennially fresh and ever fruitful the blessed man is likened v a tree whose roots go down to the water streams ever drawing up that which tends to growth and enrichment so that he is a witness for god to all wh know him as they see how richly grace is working in his seal verse 4 the ungodly like the chaff men of the world who have their portion in this life psa 1714 often seem to flourish for a time but they are soon cut in their sins and carried away ike the worthless chaff which is scattered by the wind any life not lived for the glory of god is a failure verse 5 the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment to stand in that day is to be approved of god this is only by grace rom 52 1 pet 512 the wicked will have no standing in that day but will be condemned to banishment from the presence of tlie lord verse the way of the righteous the way of the ungodly the two are set in vivid contract one is known to the lord in the sense that he delights in it the other is doom ed to end in destruction matt 724 a wise man built his house upon a rock that rock is gods eternal truth revealed in christ- the wise man here is the blessed man of psalm 1 he values the word and builds upon the testimony of our lord jesus it is one thing to applaud the sermon on the mount as a wonderful system of ethics it is quite another to build upon these sayings by resting ones soul upon that which christ has declared seeing in him the eternal son of god who came in grace to be the sinners saviour he himself is the rock on which the be liever builds 1 cor 311 verse 25 it fell not for it was founded upon a rock the storms that beat about this house but made manifest its sure foundation so the testings of life and the stress of the judgment will only show how secure is the soul that has trusted in christ verse 20 heareth these say ings and doeth them not to be familiar with the gospel and acquainted with the truth of god and yet never to receive it into the heart by faith so that the whole life is controlled by it is to miss all the blessing that is the portion of him who hears the obeys to know the way of life and yet to choose to go on in selfwill is but to build on shifting sand verse 27 great was the fall of it n matter how fair a charac ter one may seem to have or how english can survive siege without roast beef or tea i si su0ar perplexing is the problem of how to live for a day on the amount and variety of food the young lady finds before he and make the same thing do day after day nutrition authority sir john orr says english citi zens can do it if necessary in case of a long siege no meat not even tea if things get really bad for the prescribed 1 l ounces of fat butter patties were used in this picture at so stable will collapse in the storm of that day of manifestation how important that we test our founda tions while we have time to build aright rather than wait until it is too late to change the heart of tlie lesson salvation is by grace through faith altogether apart from out works or human merit of any kind but true faith works by love and is manifested in good works so that the renewed man walks the path of obedience to the word of god and produces in his life the fruit of the spirit the two figures of a tree and a building are suggested in ephes- ians 317 where we read of being rooted and grounded in love thus christian character is developed in contrast to this tlie way of the wicked or tlie ungodly is one of selfishness and rebellion and the hope of the man who refuses the ood a life he may appear to live if law of the lord his piety does not he is a christ rejector the time of testimony god has given is destined consist in a negative attitude toward testing will prove how misplaced to perish when tlie lord shall judge evil alone but in the positive enjoy- was his confidence and how vain his the secrets of men acording to the ment of what is good the word of hope for eternity all that soemed gospel of christ as we are told in tin
