PE RS ate RE REPRO PE RL ne RO et TE A SE ee ee By Alfred Buescher Gehazi, begging gifts of Naaman BIBLE LESSON What Type Faith If No One God? By R. H. RAMSEY Fer a Christian to accept spir- ttual things beyond his under- standing is realatively easy, for we accept the miraculous pow- ers of our God without ques- tion. However, had we no one God, how many of us would fol- flow the example of Naaman and not only willingly accept, but act upon a child's blind faith in a God unknown to us? Such is the case in today's biographical study. Naaman, a heathen, was brought face to face With the monotheistic God of Israel. Acting on faith alone, as he did, he presents a sharply etched picture of a man re- warded by the faith he pos- sessed. Naaman, commander of the army of Ben-hadad, king of Da- mascus, is described as honor- able, valorous, a man of great ability and unusual military ge- nius much esteemed by his master. But . . . he was a leper. In five words we have, in our minds, changed Naaman from a great and mighty man to an ob- ject to be shunned as "'unclean." Now called Hansen's disease and known to be only mildly in- fectious, in ancient times it was a dreaded, loathsome disease, and those innocents who suf- fered from it were as already dead. They were torn from their families, cast out of the commu- nity, and condemned to survive as best they could, if at all--no matter how tender or advanced their years -- without care or even the most rudimentary eomforts of life. CURED DISEASE The Scriptures tell us that in ene of their raids the Syrians had captured a little Israelite girl. She was brought to Naa- man, who took her as a maid for his wife. Her faith must have radiated in her work, for Bible history has not forgotten how she used her trust in God for the glory of God and the eure of Naaman's leprosy. Her statement that if Naaman would but go to see the prophet Elisha, he would be cured, dem- onstrates her faith in the mi- racles of God performed by His servants. The maid's belief reached Naaman's ear and even the King of Syria showed concern for his commander's welfare, for he sent a letter to the king of Israel regarding Naaman's plight. The letter so much dis- turbed the king of Israel that he rent his clothes. News of the king's concern| teached the ear of Elisha, who is described as "the man of God." Speaking with the author- ity of a prophet, Elisha said, "Let him (Naaman) come now to me, and he shall know there is a prophet in Israel." So the royally - equipped, treasure - laden Naaman came to the bumble abode of Elisha. Naaman wished to be treated as a great man who happaned to be a leper; Elisha, to achieve the humility necessary for a cure and conversion, treated him a leper whe happened to be a@ great man, refusing to see him personally and sending a! message that -to be cured he should bathe seven times in the Jordan River.

To him, washing in the Jordan was repulsive and if he need wash to effect a cure, he would rather wash in the more beau- tiful rivers of Syria. Naaman's servants prevailed upon him to conquer his pride and submit to the will of Elisha. The miracle of the cure con- vin aaman that the Lord is the om" God. Filled with grati- tude, he urged rich gifts upon Elisha, but the prophet refused. Then Naaman asked that he be allowed to take some Israe- litish earth back to Syria and that, in the future, he be for- given for accompanying -- his master into his pagan temples and appearing to worship a deity he now knew to be false. Elisha granted both requests and bade him "go in peace." Because this a moral story. il- lustrating the powers of faith and the evil of greed, it ends with a typical folk element. One of Elisha's greedy servants fol- lower of Naaman begged a gift. When the prophet discovered this he rebuked the servant for his avarice and lies and, mak- ing the punishment suit the crime, smote him with the veny leprosy of which Naaman had been cured. "But without faith it is im- possible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a re- warder of them that diligently seek him.""--Hebrews 11:6. Rhodesia Action Plus For Wilson LONDON (Reuters) --. The Hirst public opinion poll since' the Rhodesian crisis developed seriously credited the Labor government today with a huge leap forward in popularity.

But the Board of Broadcast Governors, announcing the road-clearing Thursday, added a big proviso: Conversion to color shouldn't be done at the expense of ex- tending signals to wunserved areas or of providing second service to areas where only one channel is seen. The BBG announced it will waive the usual public hearing for color TV applications where neither of these conditions is in- volved. Such applications would simply be passed to the BBG from the transport department after a technical check be given a BBG recommendation without a public hearing and be sent back. This would avoid delaying all applications until the next pub- lic hearing of the board, set for Feb. 1. The formal start for color TV in Canada is Jan. 1, 1967. But the government has announced that a test period will start July 1, 1966 with stations allowed ex- perimental colorcasts overnight after regular _ broadcasting hours. A final polishing-up period be- gins Oct. 1 for-color transmis- sions during regular hours to iron out any remaining kinks. But the BBG said it would consider public hearings for ap- plications where there are con- siderations about second serv- ice or extension of service.
