this weeks sunday school lesson the dignity ok wokk lesson for october 31 golden text strut ihou a man dlligrnt in hi luim be hall iinl before kins- be shall not stand belore mean men prov 2229 the lesson as a whole by j- c macaulay ia approach to the lemon read again he approach for the last two issoos and then notice where each of our les son portions is found our first portion pro v 6 6u is in the second division of the book is w 918 which consists not of pure proverbs but of brief discourses here yt have an encouragement to industry based on the habits f the ant our single verse portion 18 is in the first group of pro verbs of solomon 101 to 2216 as we might expect it is more nearly a true proverb but of the parallel type not the more common adverse type the final portion of our les ion 243034 is part of the sec tion containing the second group of the sayings of the wise ones 242334 here again as we saw the form is looser more nearly approach ing that used in the earlier part of the book in keeping with this our portion deals entirely with the subject of sloth be ginning with a description of the sluggards field and vine yard and proceeding to a war ning of coming disaster this brings as to a problem compare 610 11 and 2433 31 you will notice that the word ing is identical in the english we have seen that the author ship of the section in which 610 11 is found has not been finally established although ve gave reasons last week for t believing- that soljoson wrote at leas part of see cote son 43 4 in vere by verse but 2433 34 is part of the work jof the wu ones now how i does it come that solomon ap- jperided this warning to a de- siripion of the industry of the ant while the wise os used the saaie exprejpr fol lowing a description of a ne glected field some sugs that 2433 34 is the insertiono of an editor that is the easy way- out it could have been com posed by solomon and includ ed in the anthology of sayings of the wie ones or it could have been quoted by solomon from an earlier collection it could also have been current in popular lore and used by both solomon and the school of the wise however the pro blem is one of literary criti cism and need not trouble us the inspiration of the scrip tures is concerned with the accurate recording of all that the holy spirit willed to in clude so that whoever first coraposed this vivid warning both solomon and the wise ones were moved by the holy spirit to include it in their counsels that satisfies me verve by verse prov 66 go to the ant consider her ways after dealing with the danger of suretyship vs 16 the writer turns to the ruinous vice of sloth and appeals to the ant for a parable of the opposite virtue industry vere 7 no guide over- iseer pr ruler the word i guide here seems to signify a military commander over seer means literally scribe but is used of the taskmasters in egypt ruler is a prince a few species of anus have slaves but ordinarily the work- ters arid soldiers set spontan eously vthout ljuserssuj verse 8 provideth her meat in the harvest ref erence is to the harvesting ant common is the mediterraneajq region the agricultural ant of texa has similar habits- verse 9 how long wilt thou sleep baed cn this example of industry the man of sloth is exhorted to rouse himself from his ruinous sltun- iber verse 10 sleep slumber folding of the hands here we have the sleepy immoogue of the slug gard naif drugged by the drowsy effects of overmuch leep it is always a little more but the utile multiplies till ruin overtakes the unwary x verse l so shall thy pov erty come as an armed man notice the contrast verse 10 is slow motion for ure but here is action relent less action poverty arrives suddenly as one arrives from a journey ana with the merci less violence of the bandit the greek version takes traveller here in an eva sene as a highwayman chap 18j skthful brother to a great waster improvidence is the common parent of sloth and waste and the offspring of both is want chap 2130 the field of the slothful the vineyard of the man void of understand ing what a man is will re flect in the condition of what he is responsible to care for field and vineyards gardens aid kitchens are mute hut elo quent witnesses verse 31 all grown over with thorns the stone wall thereof was broken down marks of neglect abound in the domain of the slothful weeds growing unchecked and walls crumbling for lack of care verse 32 then i re ceived instruction just is the ant preached its sermon on the virtue of industry in chapter 6 so here the woeful condition of the lazy mans possession had its sorrowful lesion to teach happy are we if we jive eyes and minds and warts open to learn the lessons which abound for us on every hand the heart of the leon there are more ways than one of coming to want two of these wa are presented in the verve which stands by itself in our lesson prov 189 sloth and waste the sluggard is the one who will not bestir himself to secure the necessities of life while the waster is the one who foolishly and extrava gantly uses up and dissipates what he has in our text they are called brothers not for any love that binds them together but because they simply ex press two aspects of a common vice improvidence the off spring of both are so much alike that they go by the same name want of these two brothers sloth the one mostly dealt with in our lesson the subject is approached positively and neg atively first by an illustration of industry drawn from na ture and then by an illustra tion of negligence drawn from personal observation in the sixth chapter the sluggard is challenged by the example of the tiny creature the ant which needs no prodoing no commanding no threatening hut goes to work with eager ness and spontaneity to add to the general store of the nest not cement to satisfy the hun ger of the moment these little creatures lay up store against the time when the fields will not yield them what they need the most superficial observer cannot but notice the tireless industry of che ant which will frequently carry and drag loads bfsger and heavier than riser but the sluggard is not eas- i by aroused he is not easily shanted into action ease is the sweetest luxury he knows and he must always have a little more always a little more but the little grows io much the lazy fekw always intended to arouse himself be fore want crept up on him but want does not creep it springs upon the sluggard with ail the suddenness and irresistibility of a highway- robber the sleep of the slug gard is indeed costly in chapter 24 the question is approached from another an gle the writer has come upon the field and vineyard of a sluggard here was his inheri tance pasd on to him from his industrious father but work i- not to his liking soon the field is full of thistles and nettles the walls of the vine yard are crumbling and the vines are grown out of control for want of pruning the own er is indulging his yci a little sleep a little slumber heed- le- of the ruinous state of his possessions ignorant that po verty and want are about to leap upon him without mercy the man who will heed nei ther the example of industry nor tile deteriorating condition of his own affairs can have on ly one end stark desolation if this is true in worldly af fairs surely there is an appli cation for us in the affairs of the kingdom of god we have been left here to occupy till our lord comes blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing matt 2446 here also industry brings large recom pense both now and then while sloth takes its terrible toll both of spiritual condition i here and of eternal reward there low and behold e motommic a gtittml motors valum chevrolet
