' ? Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ellis, of Ly- «ni, Ga, arc visiting Mr. and Mrs. International Sunday School Lesson for January 6 . OUR HEAVENLY FATHER Matthew 6.24-34 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. Two topical courses arc given in the first and fourth quarters of the year. From April to September the lessons are in the Old Testament on “Prophetic Teaching and Leadership in Judah”—Isaiah to the Restoration. During the coming three months the lessons present "Some Great Christian Teachings’’ and deal with the Persons in the Trinity, Sin, the Bible, the Church, Repentance, Faith, Sacraments, Sabbath, Repentance, Missions and the Future Lift. Only a few verses are given in the lesson text next week In addi tion car. ful reading, at least, should be devoted to the other passages indi cated, by the Lessons Committee. This week those portions, are Exodus 34:4-7; Psalm lOJ:!-^ 10-14; Isaiah 40:27-31; John 3:3-6; 4:20-24; 8:40-47; Romans 2:2-11; 8:14-17; John 4:7-16. “Search the scriptures” has an added meaning during this quarter for teachings are not based upon iso lated texts but are developed by the study of the Book as a whole. “God is a spirit” was the declaration of the greatest Teacher when He talked with the woman of Samaria. God is the eternal One—the uncaused Cause of all that followed. Man’s understanding of Him has come through progressive revelation and acquaintance by living ccnsciously with Him. Being a "spirit” does not make Him any the less real. Moses had converse with God at the burning bush and followed the Presence during those 40 years of wanderings in the w ildemcss. We know Him by many names, such as Lord, Jehovah and words that define his at tributes—Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent. By reason of His rela tionship with His creation there is no more familiar title than Father. David sang of Him and Isaiah prophesied concerning His kingdom. In the Sermon on the Mount the Son, a revelation in time* gave an interpretation of the Father by means of a nature study such that old and young can understand. He called attention to the birds of the air. the lillies of the field and declared that the Father is all the while caring for all these, though living only for a time and a far lesser order in creation than the humans. Therefore those made in His own image and with ability to know their Creator will be all the more constant objects of His lovely care. The little child accepts these truths and, even as the youngster takes hold of the strong hand of the earthly father, trusts and obeys the Heavenly Father. Oh. for the faith and confidence 'of such a child. Jesus said, because of the care of such a Father, we are not to take anxious thought. Wc will trust to the uttermost as we know, love and follow Him. DcErank Crane Says CoerrttM**** " Theory Pays A very common notion is that theory has not much to do with practice. „ ^ We dismiss a proposition with a wave of the hand when we characterize it as nothing but theory, or as impractical idealism. We praise the inventor who devises some useful applica tion of knowledge, but have a tendency to overlook the dis coverer who finds out the knowledge that the inventor applied. As a matter of fact, all our great inventions rest upon great discoveries made by painstaking theorists who love knowledge for itself alone. « .. . - . Wireless telegraphy, the telephone!, aeroplanes, radium, antiseptics, antitoxins, spectrum analysis and X-rays were all discovered in the course of purely scientific and theoretical investigation. Lord Kelvin said that no great law in natural philosophy had ever been discovered as a result of practical experiment, and that “the instances are innumerable of investigations apparently quite useless which led to the most valuable results. M \ For eighteen centuries many great minds gave their lives to studying conic sections. This work was far from useless, for the laws of projectiles, the building of great bridges, the curves of ships and the rules of navigation depend upon conic sections. Wireless telegraphy goes back to the studies of Lagrange in purely abstract mathematics, and t6 Professor William Thomson, who laid the foundation of electric oscillations. 1 The man of deeds, the practical man, would be saved many a foolish experiment and would be kept back from many a useless trial if he knew the background of thought that should undeflie his actions.
