appointment sunday school lesson iesson for september 2s golden tevt fear god and keep his commandments eccles 12 13 the lesson a a whole 1 said in mine heart under the sun these are two of the key expressions in the book of eccle- iates it is the record of the efforts of a man to find the supreme good apart from divine revelation he looks into his own heart follows its dictates and after trying all that earth has to offer finds all is vanit or emptiness worldly folly never satisfied anyone who sought it frivolity may captivate the sense- for a moment but it leaves regret behind how many a devotee of pleasure has exclaimed at last life is not worth living solomon tried to find solace in the pleasures of the wine cup though determined not to act the part of a fool and allow him self to become a drunkard he would drink in moderation hoping in this to find what was good for the sons of men his book tell how vain was the effort to find lasting enjoyment in selfindulgence of any kind he had almost un limited wealth and he determined not to deny himself anything that his eyes desired or his heart craved he gave himself for a time at least wholly to the pursuit of self- gratification hoping in this to find perfect happiness but as he looked back upon wasted years and blight ed hopes he realized that the selfish life is the empty life all was emptiness and a pursuit of the wind nothing under the sun can satisfy a man made for eternity his final judgment is that the only worthy objective of life is to know god and to seek to serve him faithfully this alone gives lasting peace and satisfaction verse by verse eccles 12 vanity of vanities saith the preacher vanity of vani ties all is vanity the natural man finds himself as on a great whirling wheel with no power to stay the controlling hand of what seems like a relentless fate as the following verses show so he finds life to be all vanity and a pursuit after the wind but the spirit- taught believer looks up and sees an exalted christ at gods right and and knows that he is in him self the wisdom of god and so he can commit his life in confidence to his loving care and can exclaim with gladness for to me to live in christ and to die is gain verse 17 i gave my heart to know wisdom and to know mad ness and folly determined to try everything that seemed as though it might contribute to lasting satis faction solomon sought to enrich his mind with learning and culture and also to enjoy the vain empty pleasures of earth but each proved a disappointment and ended in vexation of spirit chap 2 1 i said in my heart i will prove thee with mirth there is a temporary excitement as one throws himself into the whirl of worldly folly but it gives neither lasting peace nor enduring happi ness after trying it all the verdict is this also is vanity it is the judgment of the disillusioned mis anthropist he who lives for self seeking to gratify his thirst for pleasure will awake at the end to realize his days have been wasted and he will loathe what once he thought so worth while verse 11 i looked on all the works that my hands had wrought and there was no profit under the sun even those things which seem useful and well worth while such as the erection of great build ings and the laying out of beautiful gardens vs 5 fail to meet the deepest needs of the soul of man taxi service telephone stouffville

embalmer continuons telephone service day and night phone stouffville 9801 it would be poor comfort to a dying man to look back over a life spent largely in developing natural resources or improving property if he was going out into eternity with out god and therefore without hope verse 21 there is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink and enjoy good in his labour to this con clusion the philosophical mind naturally comes so long as one looks only under the sun for god himself has decreed that in the sweat of his face man should eat his bread labor is therefore a great blessing but true satisfaction is not found even in it no matter how faithfully and assiduously one per forms his tasks and no matter how temperately he conducts himself chap 12 1 remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth after trying every other object that might prove to be the supreme goini for man the preacher comes back to god he alone can satisfy happy is the one who turns to him in lifes springtime before the winter of life comes on when to a large extent the soul is no longer keen to res pond to the divine voice verse the clouds return after the rain these verses through s are a beautiful poem in which the body is looked upon as a house and it is seen going into decay because of increasing years the light is no longer bright for the mind is clouded youths spring and man hoods summer are ended and the days of winter are coming on apace verse 3 when the keepers of the house that is the hands shall tremble palsied with old age the strong men the legs bow themselves and the grinders the teeth cease because they are few and those that look out of the windows the eyes be darkened verse 1 the doors shut in the streets the deafness that comes with years the sound of the grinding it is really the grinding- woman that is the tongue is low the old man is nervous and rest less and is up with the birds and the daughters of musick the vocal cords no longer function as of yore verse 5 afraid of that which is high and fears in the way as he walks with uncertain steps the almond tree shall flourish cover ed with white blossoms like the hoary head and little things are troublesome man goeth to his long lit eternal home and the mourners go about the streets verse 6 the silver that is the spinal cord be loosed the golden bowl the brain pan be broken or the pitcher the lungs and the wheel the heart cease to func tion verse 7 then shall the dust return to the earth but the spirit as a distinct living entity goes out to have to do with god verse 8 all is vanity when life is over if one has forgotten god all is worthless and life a tragic failure verse 13 the conclusion of the whole matter is that man should fear god and obey him this is his whole duty verse 14 god shall bring every work into judgment man is to be judged according to his works therefore it is important that he know god and serve him then lie will not have to lewail a wasted life at last the heart of the lesson god has created man with capac ity to hear his voice and yeild to him this alone brings lasting sat isfaction to endeavor to find it in the world is only to be disappoint ed there is nothing under the sun that can give peace and rest all below is but vanity and like chas ing after the wind only when god is given his rightful place does the soul enter into and enjoy the peace
