Quarterly Review of Sunday
School Lesson Presents Study
of Facts and Teachings
By William T. Ellis
It is the long look that reveals
truth. Things must be seen in rela
tion one to another in order to be
understood. The advantage of a
quarterly review of Sunday school
lessons, such as the present, is that
It enables us to study facts and
teachings in proper proporUons. A
single lesson may concentrate our at
tention too closely upon episodes and
details; a long sweep of history, like
that comprehended within the stu
dies of the past three months, gives
balance and perspective and a sense
of relative values.
Most persons need this. We are so
close to the incidents of life that we
often miss a clear view of life itself.
We "cannot see the woods for the
trees." Saint Peter had a keen word
upon this when he characterized a
certain sort of person as "blind, see
ing only what is near." Now. amid
the present world upheaval, we need
especially the gift of discerning ma
jor tendencies and ultimate issues,
behind the welter of absorbing de
tails. Whatever local conditions may
be. let It be remembered that they
are as the waves, which may
be receding, though the tide is rising.
This essential lesson truth has been
well expressed by Priscilla Leonard in
a poem in "The Outlook":
"On the far reef the breakers
Recoil in shattered foam.
Yet still the sea behind them
Urges its forces home;
Its chart of triumph surges
Through all the thunderous din—
The wave may break in failure.
But the tide is sure to win.
"The reef is strong and cruel;
Upon its jagged wall
One wave—a score—a hundred.
Broken and beaten fall;
Yet in defeat they conquer,
The sea comes flooding in
Wave upon wave is routed.
But the tide is sure to win.
/
"O. mtghty sea! thy message
In clanging spray is cast;
Within God's plan of progress
It matters not at last.
How wide the score of evil,
How strong the reefs of sin
The wave may be defeated,
But the tide is sure to win."
Kings. Great and Small
It is a startling or incredible
thought that the real mission and
efficiency of the ancient Jewish king
dom which we are studying cannot
be fully understood until we have
seen the effects produced in Bible
lands by the present war? A resur
gence of Jewish nationalism is being
witnessed throughout the world.
What twentieth century development
is to inherit the. glories of David and
Solomon?
A long look at the lessons of tho
quarter reveals David and Solomon,
as well as Rehoboam and Jeroboam
and Ahab, and still lesser wearers of
the purple. In great allegience of
Jehovah, David and Solomon had led
united Israel to the apex of its his
tory. The studies now in review
and what rich lesons they have
been! —have included the greatest
days of the Jewish nation. They
have also taken in the tragic times
jof the division of the kingdom. The
| mightiest of the Hebrew monarchy,
as well as the meanest, have been
I under the study of the world's Sun
day schools, all within three months.
What greatness could do for a na
tion. and what smallness could un
do, has vividly been portrayed. God
pity the people who have pusil
lanimous leaders in a time of great
crises. It makes a sovereign citizen
tremble when he sees politicians pur
suing their petty partisan purposes
in an hour of national emergency.
At least we can be thankful that, as
we sweep the world's present trou
bled horizon there are few, if any.
Rehoboams in places of national
leadership.
Leaders and Misloaders
One angle from which the quar
ter's lessons may be viewed is as a
study in leadership. I heard a man
say, in condemning a certain notor
ious ecclesiastic in one of the larger
American religious denominations.
"It will take the Church twenty
years to recover from the blight of
that man's influence, after he is dead.
'Similarly to-day the hand of
Abdul Hamid has been removed from
the Turkish scepter but it remains
baefully upon the Turkish people.
The present saturnalia of massacres
and persecutions of Christians in the
Ottoman Empire is traceable to Ab
dul Hamid's example and influence.
Jeroboam, "who made Israel to sin,"
continued his malign work even aft
er his bones had rotted. No man
sinneth unto himself. If you do not
believe that on first statement ask
the historians; or ask the doctors,
who, in this morning's paper cried
out against the social crime of per
mitting wicked fathers to foredoom
unborn offspring to suffering and de
spair.
Observing the influence of the
character of the kings who were
leaders and misleaders of the Jews
we are reminded of the proverb,
"Like priest, like people." Every
forceful personality should make
himself count, in these days, for the
highest welfare of the world. It is a
solemnizing thing to have great In

fluence just now. lSven as these re
ligious studies have constantly Im
pinged upon the field of Jewish pat
riotism, so the call to-day is for
Christian men and women to exer
cise, persistently. purposefully and
potently, their influence in behalf of
the highest national idea's. The
Jews of old never passed through a.
graver crisis than that which encom
passes the nations of the world at
the present time.
The Prophet's Part
Probably the average school
teacher wields a more potent influ
ence over the life than the average
ctflce-holder, taking the two classes
In the large. Kings, on the whole,
have counted for less than the great
reformers, writers and preachers.
To be a speaker forth of truth is to
wield the mightiest septer. After
David and Solomon both of whom
combined the prophet-function with
their sovereignty, so that they are
immortal as teachers, rather than as
rulers—there was no king among the
Jews who counted for as much as the
prophets. Elijah dwarfed all his
contemporaries.
To be the man who speaks for God
in a nation's troubled hour i 3 a great
mission. What if the prophet's work
is hard for the prophet? Better
truth's tempests than error's case.
Elijah in the wilderness is a subllmer
figure than Ahab on his throne. God
still has ravens to feed His messen
gers, so that the mesengers need
give little thought to the ravens, but
only to the message. The firm pays
the expenses of its traveling repre
sentatives.
This review ends where the quar
ter's lessons ended, squarely con
fronting the great and eternal truth
that to represent God, to speak His
message fearlessly, to be true to His
name and mission, is the highest
work possible to mortal. When the
times are most troublous, then the
need for the tellers of the truth of
God is greatest. The highest patriot
ism is to call one's country back to
the faith of its fathers. (
