Lesson Text: Amos 6:l-6; Peter
2:11,12; AIS

If we think deeply into the
writings of Amos, '.the inspired
farmer, and give rein to our
imagination, we could easily con-
clude that this Old Testament
prophet to the Israelites was
speaking words of warning to US
here in our beloved land.
Living simply himself, Amos
had no use for those who lived in
idle luxury. He WAS not q hater
of the right, as such, he simply
despised and warned against the
effects of luxury on the lives and
souls of men. Those who were %at
ease in Zion; who were clothed
in purple and fine linen; who
rechned ION beds of ivory" and
goTged themselves on the choicest
delicacies of their day, were con-
demned because such indulgence
es caused them to become COM
placent and self-satisfied, care
less and forgetful of the needs
and sufferings of those less fort
innate than they.
Do we need such a warning to-
day? Those who decry the social
inlustiees around us are often
condemned as the instigators OF
"class hatred, the formentors of
strife between those of the upper

social strata and the lower. This
is not necessarily the case, how
ever. Those who have acquitted
their Wealth, through Legitimate
means and accept the social re-
sponsibili.ies, which accompany
the possession Of such wealth are
benefactors of society However,
society and God J himself con-
dennis the selfish acquisition and
use of great material possessions.
History has proven, down through
the ages, that the possession of
great wealth can either be a bless
ing or a curse, depending upon
the use to which it Is put.
Peter called upon the early
Christians. and through them, to
US, to always bear in mind that
this life. after all, is only a jour-
ney and that all of US are So
journers and PILGRIMS in a for
eign land. just as the Jews held
tenaciously to their nationality
and racial traditions, although
often exiles, so should Christians
cling to the teachings of Christ,
and practice His principles wher-
ever they happen to find them
selves.
To do this requires a life of
abstinence from all things that
have an appearance of ,evil", and
the taking advantage Of every
opportunity that presents itself OF
showing the spirit of Christ in
performing good works.. thus
testifying to the world of the love
that lies within the heart.
The Christian life is q continual
strife against sin and self. Every
one who is conscientiously .striv-
ing to live the Christian life has
been subjected at one time or an.
other to the temptation to sur
render to the desires of the flesh.

lto ridictlle or ,snubs of the world,
something that the average in
dividual finds difficult to bear.
However, the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when a Christian will
haWesto realize that he cannot
cling with one hand to God and
with. the other cling to the world.
He will find that he win either
feel more and more out of place
in an ungodly environment or he
will find it easier to yield to the
temptations around him, thus
eventually releasing his hold on
God. Jesus warned that we can
not serve two masters at one
time. The choice must be made
sooner or later.
Paul argued that the followers
of Christ should abstain from do
ing anything that might be con-
sidered questionable, not only be-
cause of their effect on the in
dividual, but because Of the in
flpence which such action might
have on weaker individual men,
bers Of society. Many do not ac-
cept this doctrine of social re-
sponsibility, arguing that it is
foolish for an individual to deny
himself of pleasures and priv
ileges which, to him, are harm
less because of their possible
harmful effect on another. In
answer, we might remind Chris
tians that the basis of Christ's
teachings is love-love for God
and love for our fellowman. If
we truly are interested in the
betterment of society-if we love
our fellowmen as a Christian
should've will be careful of our
influence, for Love worketh no
i'll to his neighhor' Rom. 1910.
