ENDFRIXG CONTRIBUTIONS OF
THE NATION
LeSson for June 29: Psalms 119:
105; Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 6:1-3.
Memory Selection: Isaiah 2:3.
The first verse of the lesson text
tells of the supreme contributions the
Hebrew nation has made to the
world—the Bible. That Book has
cne grand peculiarity that distin
guishes it from all other books—thi
revelation of God and all the bless
ings of the truths God has made to
men. <
Consider the mighty facts we have
learned from the Hebrews and from
Christianity, which was built upon
Judaism—God, Jesus Christ, the im
mortality of the soul, heaven, the
infinite worth of every man in God’s
sight, democracy, brotherhood, love,
and others. Through Judah comes
the dream of peace which is even
now the hope of men. igaiah writes
that the Lord’s house shjaU. be ex
alted on the mountains and all na
tions shall be attracted unto it. And
men shall beat their swords into the
implements of husbandry, and learn
of war no more.
Micah, in calling Israel to account
and impressing the need of' sin
cerity of heart, above the observance
of religion, brings a good lesson to
the Israel of God, to the citizens of
the kingdom.
The Christians of the world have
reason to be grateful for the blessed
contributions the Hebrew race has
made to them. Instead of a distant
est of their race, let us deal kindly
I toward them because of the bless-
• ings which have come to the Gen
tiles through Israel.
