McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. S. C-. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1937
Jews Are Fighting for a Homeland
Ready at any moment to defend the strip which he is trying to convert
to fertility is the Jewish settler of the Jesreel valley.
C'lVE or six million Jews, uprooted by dictatorships and tossed about
" by economic storms, may have to depend upon the development of the
Holy Land, under British mandate, as a solution to their difficulties. But
they face the hostility of the Arabs living there, whose economic and
religious interests conffict with theirs.
In North Palestine the
Jews fence themselves in
. armed settlements as a pro
tection against marauding
Arab bands, while they try
to work the poor land. With
Britain anxious to get rid of
her mandate, and with en
emies in nearly every cor
ner of the world, these “peo
ple without a country” are
in a sorry plight.
The life is not an easy
one, by any means. Back
breaking labor is not made
any more bearable by con
stant threat of pillage and
death.
Pictured here is life in a
fenced-in settlement in the
Jesreel valley.
• Settlers must carry rifles while working the swamp-infested plain.
Men and women take turns in guard
duty behind the barbed-wire fence which
protects the settlers from the raiding
Arabs. A woman sentry is pictured here.
Note her studious appearance, determined
look and mannish military dress.
The dreaded Mohammedan raiders have been sighted by a neighbor
settler, who immediately set up a signal. From her position in a high
tower, this lookout follows them with powerful glasses.

Lesson for October 17
CHRISTIAN SPEECH AND
CONDUCT
LESSON TEXT—James, Chapter 3.
GOLDEN TEXT—Let no corrupt com
munication proceed out of your mouth.—
Ephesians 4:29.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Words I Say.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Bridle on the Tongue.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Christian Speech.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Christian Words and Works.
Christian speech and conduct may
well be studied in the book of
James, for he stresses the impor
tance of works as demonstrating
faith. There are two common er
rors—one is to attempt to be justi
fied by good works apart from faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ—the other
is to talk about believing in him
and then fail to live in accordance
with one’s profession. Some have
assumed that James fell into the
former error, urging works as a
substitute for faith, but an intelli
gent reading of his epistle clearly
indicates that he is in no sense con
tradicting the Scripture doctrine of
justification by faith, but is show
ing that professed faith which does
not result in Christian living is in
reality a dead and useless thing.
I. Christian Talk (w. 1-12).
As he enters upon his searching
and convicting discussion of the
tongue and its misuse the writer dis
tinguishes between
1. Two kinds of talkers (w. 1, 2).
a. “Teachers” (v 1.) who have a
peculiar responsibility because they
stand as the representatives of God
at the sacred desk. It is not a
place to be sought after, and the
man who fills it at God’s call needs
divine grace and direction that he
may speak the truth.
b. “We all” (v. 2). The speech
of every one of us counts either for
or against God, even though we
may not fill the teacher’s chair or
stand in the pulpit.
2. A single danger (w. 3-12). All
of us have the one danger—lack of
“tongue-control.” Developing that
thought the text first points out that
a. Powerful things need control
(w. 3-5). The horse is a wild and
useless animal without the directing
and restraining bit. A ship without
a rudder will be lost. A tongue
needs direction and control, for
while a little thing, it is tremen
dously powerful.
b. An uncontrolled tongue is dan
gerous (w. 6-8). How vivid is the
imagery of the words before us. A
fire spreading and destroying, an
untamed animal running wild in all
its fury, a deadly poison eating
away the life—such is the uncon
trolled tongue.
We recognize the truth of these
things. We see how vile and care
less speech debases man, how words
chosen for their power to destroy
pour forth from the press, over the
footlights, from man to man and lit
erally “set on fire the course of
nature” (v. 6).
c. An uncontrolled tongue is in
consistent (w. 9-12). Again the fig
ure is striking. The fountain which
pours forth fresh pure water to sus
tain life does not at the same time
bring forth the bitter brackish wa
ter. Fig trees do not bear olives,
vines do not bear figs. Nature is
consistent and dependable.
But the tongue—ah, that is an
other matter 1 How sadly do we
confess our failure, for here do we
“offend all” (v. 2). We bless God,
and defile and destroy man, with
the same lips. “These things ought
not so to be” (v. 10).
II. Christian Walk (w. 13-18).
The word “conversation” in v. 13
is an English word which now
means “talk” but which formerly
meant “manner of living.”
1. Words and works must agree
(w. 13,14). It is only right that
those who speak of following Christ
should prove it in their manner of
living. Talk may be smooth and
broad in its claims, but the demon
stration of its reality and honesty is
in the daily walk. This calls for
wisdom which is divine—earthly wis
dom will not suffice.
2. Earthly wisdom is false (w.
15,16). There is a wisdom apart
from God. Men of the world are
brilliant and able, but scrutinize
their wisdom and you will find that
it is “sensual”—that is, of the
senses—or natural as distinguished
from spiritual. All too often it is
downright “devilish” (v. 16).
3. True wisdom is from above (w.
17,18). Undefiled, unselfish, uncom
promising, but not quarrelsome or
stubborn, impartial and sincere—
and “full of mercy and good fruits”
—such is God’s wisdom for the
Christian’s life.
Strength Unto Strength
The strength of a man consists in
finding out the way in which God
is going, and going in that way too.
—Henry Ward Beecher.
Physical and Spiritual Growth
We develop physically by acquir
ing for ourselves; but spiritually we
develop by giving to others.—Rut
ledge.
Opportunities
A wise man will make more op
portunities than he finds.—Bacon.
