-WeeAly Sunday School Lesson- CHRISTIAN FRUITFULNESS
Text: John 15:1-16

Experience of the Christian comes from the love of God and the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. .t, As we have this divine love, 50 1t is our privilege to abide In 1t. And the test of the reality of our love is our fulfillment of the commandments of Jesus, even as he fulfills the Fathers command ments and abides in the Fathers love.
 What Q rich experience 1t is that Jesus opens up to the Christian! "These things have I spoken unto you," he says, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full"
 It is an interesting study to search out all the passages in the New Testament where "joy" Is mentioned. The Christian life is not @ life of dullness, or of sober seriousness. It. is not even one of passionate earnestness.
 It misses its climax unless there be in 1t real joy-the ex- tolerance that cries in ecstacy. Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift"

q. In many European c0uK- tries the dominant church in Q country is closely related to, or dependent upon the state. How does 1t happen that in this country we have no state church?
 A. Dr. J. H. oldham in a re- cent book on "The Church and its Function in Society" has this to say about the churches in the United States: 'The peculiar conditions of American history have shaped the life of the churches to such an extent that 1t can be said that in the United States the church entered on @ new development
 CD If we take the United States as e whole no church can claim to be predominant either by virtue of numbers or by virtue of its connection with national history.
 (2) The churches whose ori- gins 20 back to what Troeltsch has called the sect type (volun- tary societies rather than mass churches) represent about two- thirds of American Protestant. ism. These churches have there- fore been able to become the dominating force in the religious situation.
 (3) Although in the early pe- riod of American history Q nurn- Der af established churches ex- isted, none of these was ever es- tablished in relation to the na- ton as a whole. The first 7 amendment to the Constitution said clearly that Congress shall make no law respecting an es- tablishment of religion, and though this meant at tlle- time simply that the states were left free in matters Of religion, 1t led inevitably to 6 separation between church and state"

Der, and not on the first of the

Der, and not on the first of the year?
 A. The Catholic church begins its liturgical year on the First Sunday of Advent, that Is the Sunday which falls nearest the Feast of St. Andrew (Noy. S0) because Advent is the season of the coming of Christ. The sea- son of Advent Is thus prepara. ton for the feast of the Incar- nation, or birth of Christ, and as the birth of Christ is the first event of the Christian era, the liturgical year of the church logically begins at this time.
 c. What is the significance of ChanukkOh?
 A. Chanukkoh, the Jewish winter festival, which begins Sunday evening, Nov. 20, is known as "The Feast of Lights" or "The Feast of Dedication" The holiday, which Is celebrated for eight days commentaries thetwo-t -thousand -year-old story of the deliverance of the Jewi- ish people from the oppression of the Syrian- Greeks. In the syna- gogue services durink this sea- son, the ideals of religious lib- erty and human brotherhood are stressed.
 Central in the home celebra- ton of Chanukkoh Is the light- ing of Q nine.branched Meno- rah, or candelabrum. One light Is kindled the first night, two the second, and so on until on the eighth night, counting the additional light which is used to kindle the rest, the entire can- delabrum is ablaze.
 The historical personality most intimately associated with the festival Is the figure ol Judah Maccabeus who led tn struggle to resist the Creek and their command that ths Jews should abandon their 0Ot and worship Zeus.

 From the figure of sowing and reaping in our last lesson, with the assurance that whatsoever 'man soweth, that shall he also reap, we turn in this lesson to con. slider somewhat the same thing un- der the symbol of the vine and its fruitful yield.
 How does the vine yield its fruit? Through its roots in the soil, through It's contact with t he fruit giving power of nature, through the care with which the vineyard keeper trims 1t and keeps 1t directed into disciplined So 1t is, says Jesus, in the Christian life. It is in proper contact with the forces of grace and truth that the spiritual vine yields It's fruit. Christ is the true vine, and God the Father Is the huSbandmal.
 A man cannot bear fruit in his life except as he Is directly in touch with his source of spir- itual life. We must abide In Christ if we would bear Christian fruit.
 This relationship of the branch to the vine is a mutual relation ship. As long as the branch is abiding in the vine, 1t is of the same substance and quality.
 It is Gods purpose concerning man that their lives should be fruitful. The Father is glorified, says Jesus, in our bearing much fruit, and 1t is in this that we manifest our discipleship.
 
 From this figure of the vine and the branch Jesus turns to speak more directly of love. It is love that is the essence of the vine and the branch. It is love that constitutes the relationship between God and Christ and oiirgelVea.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Volumes that would fin naHy H.
brariss have been written on the life
the career and the example OF Abra-
ham Lincoln. Leaders in political life.
literary masters Of worldwide re-
nown, artists who hold the respect
OF lntellectuals everywhere have been
attracted by the character Of this
magnificent personality.
And somewhere in most that il
written we find the thought of Alb
raham Lincoln may well serve as the
ideal Of craftsmanship, the example
to which all leaders OF democratic
may well aspire.
Abraham Lincoln was prompted Il
every official act by the single pdr
pose to serve his country. lie neve
stopped to play politics. Even in III
cabinet he found places for polltlca
rivals because he valued the ablllt.
they could place at the service OF tn
nation in its hour Of trial.
His career was characterized by
broad understanding Of the hopes
sorrows, and suffering of all classe
of his people. Toward foo as well a
friend he exhibited amazing under
standing and compassion. The loss
this understanding heart when tho re
construction period began was gre'
ious blow to South as well rs Nortl
all historians now agree.
Let others who aspires to nigh offic
in our Republic emulate the character
the work, and the ideaism Of Abrs
ham Lincoln. His influence sheul
exert a profound and beneficial iafll
snce through all the ages.
