The Scripture for Today
Read the lesson from your

We print selected verses.
jeremiah 25:1-11
(1 The word that came to
jeremiah concerning all the
people of Judah, in the fourth
year of Jehoiakim (je-HOY-
kim) the son of Josiah, king OF
Judah (that was the first year
Of Northumberland king of Ba-
bylon), (2) which jeremiah the
prophet spoke to all the people
of Judah and all the inhabitants
of Jerusalem; 90 "For twenty
three years, from the thirteenth
year of Josiah the son of Anon,
king Of Judah, to this day, the
word of the Lord has come to
he, and I have spoken persist
emily to you, but you have not
listened. (4) You have neither
listened nor inclined your ears
to hear, although the Lord per-
sistently sent to you all his SER
wants the prophets, (5) saying,
Turn now, every one of you,
from his evil way and wrong do
ings, and dwell upon the land
which the Lord has given to you
and your fathers from Of old and
for ever; (6) do not 60 after
other gods to serve and worship
them, or provoke me to anger
with the work of your hands.
Then I will do you no harm CD
Yet you have not listened to me,
says the Lord, that you might
provoke me to anger with the
work of your hands to your
own harm.
(8) Therefore thus says the
Lord Of hosts: Because you have
not obeyed my words, (9) be-
hold, I will send for all the
tribes Of the north, says the
Lord, and for Nebuchadrez'zar
the king Of Babylon, my serv-
ant, and I will bring them
against this land and its inhabi-
tsnts, and against all these ma.
tions round about; I will utter
~ destroy them, and make them
a horror, a Kissing, and an ever
lasting reproach. (10) Moreover,
I will Danish from them the
voice Of mirth and the voice of
gladness, the voice Of the bride
groom and the i voice of the
bride, the grinding of the mill
stones and the light Of the lamp.

This Weeks Sunday School Lesson

city of Jerusalem, trembled.
Her policies betrayed her fear:
concessions to her overlordS,
compromises in her worship to
incorporate pagan practice-an
of which seemed to be the better
part of 'valor.
King Josiah's Deuteronomic
reform (see last Sundays les
sony, occurring at the beginning
o1 Jeremiah's prophetic minis
try, came to a bitter and abrupt
end when the young king was
slain by tie Egyptians. The sons
Of Josiah who ascended the pre-
carious throne in rapid success
sion had none of their fathers
convictions and rapidly brought
Judah into virtual subordi-na-
ton to Egypt. When the odd
paganisms again polluted He
brew worship, the kings made
no effort to protect TIE purity
of the faith.
A Lonely Righteous Man
If some Mr.. Gallup had taken
a survey of Judah during the
era Of Jeremiah, asking the
question, "Should we make
compromises to keep the friend
ship of our empire-minded
neighbors?" he would Lave re-
ported almost unanimous sup
port of the policy Of expediency.
But there would have been at
least one vigorous dissenter
jeremiah.
Steadfast Against Bargaining
When men seek endorsement,
especially from their religious
leaders, for their moral bargain
ing, the unrelenting representa-
tive Of God who will not sur
render his holy convictions finds
few friends. The call to right
eousness rarely assures popular
ity for the man who proclaims
it. .-...
Yet it must be insisted that
every age needs someone like
Jeremiah - an interpreter who
possesses the gift Of spiritual
discernment and who has the
uncommon courage to skare
what God has laid upon his con-
science and heart.
The more complicated the
crisis, the more desirable is the
presence and activity of the hon
orable statesman who can turn
a deaf ear to the din and atten-
lively listen to catch tie mes
sage of Gods still, small voice.
The Risk of Oversimplification
This precarious period in
Judah's history found a con-
siderable number of easy-going
prophets who kept. saying,
Peace, peace" when in fact
there was no peace. They lulled
the people through oversimpli-
fication of TIE desperate situa-
ton.
Then jeremiah shattered their
complacency at the risk Of his
own life. He urged the people to
assert their faith in God, per
NIT no compromises, and yet
realize that even this would not
guarantee their national secur-
ity. 1t was his unpopular con-
Niction that righteousness
should be espoused for its own
sake, not to get leverage for
temporal security, either polite
al or economic.
Still Unpopular

Explaining the Biblical Text


during the reign Of King Josiah
and through the turbulent years
following this kings death.
First, one of JosiaE's sons was
put on the throne, but he reigned
only three months before being
deposed. Another son was
crowned and he ruled for eleven
years (6O9-598 B. c.. This
king, Jehoiakim, died during a
Babylonian. seige, and his son
was made the ruler; but after
Only three months, he surrender
ed Jerusalem to the Babylon
ians and was taken into exile.
The Babylonian king was Ne
buchadrezzar. He placed Zede-
kiah on the throne. Zedekiah,
different from some Of the ear
lier rulers in that he was friend
iy to the propEet jeremiah, re-
belled against the Babylonians
and the army of that empire
soon returned to capture the
king and many people, and de-
stroy the Temple and Jeru-
salem. The date was August, 587
&c.
Jeremiah was one Of those
left behind in the destroyed
city. A few years later, the
appointed governor, Gedialiah,
was assassinated, and some of
TIE Jews, fearing a reprisal, fled
to Egypt, taking jeremiah with
them. It is the last we hear of
Jeremiah.
jeremiah 10
This chapter tells of some
symbolic actions that resulted in
Jeremiah's imprisonment. Read
this chapter in your Bible. It is
TIE familiar story of the potter's
flask, a clay water bottle. The
prophet broke, the bottle and |
announced that the Lord would
break the people and the city
in the same way. When the high
priest heard of it, he beat Jere-
miah and put him in stocks
{chapter 2O)..
jeremiah FL
This chapter begins in Sec
tion that continues through 49,
8 and contains a number Of pro-
phecies concerning the kings of |
Judah. jeremiah says that the
Lord will be against Judah in |
the coming struggle. The inhabi-
tants of the city are told that
resistance to the Babylonians
will be futile. The prophet be-
ieved that God was using the
Babylonian king Nebuchadrez-
zar to accomplish the chastise-
ment of his people. Yet, when
the city was finally captured,
jeremiah was given the choice
Of going to Babylon ar remain
ing behind. He chose to remain.
jeremiah rs
Another warning to Judah.
(The reader of the Bible will
notice that the Book of Jeremiah
is not in chronological order.
See the introduction to this book
by J. Phillip Hyatt in The Inter-
prefers Bible, Volume 5, pages
777-793). The exile lasted not
seventy years (verse 11) but
about fifty years, from 587 to
538 BIC.
Jeremiah is usually depicted
by artists as a man who lived
to an advanced age, because lis
prophetic ministry covered a
period of some forty years. In

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. IL
(AP).-President Kennedy told
cheering Texans today at this
new center of manned space
flight that the United States
grady accepts the challenge Of
sending man to the moon, and
I'VE intend to win."
Before a sun-drenched crowd
of $4,000 in the Rice University
football stadium, Mr.. Kennedy
said the Nations hopes for
peace and security rest on its
gaining world leadership in
space.
He clearly emphasized his de-
termination to press the United
States space program until it
can reach the moon with a
rocket.
Referring by implication to
critics of his ambition, includ-
ing former President Eisenhow-
er, he observed that some ask
why set up such a difficult
objective.
He drew a big laugh when he
said that was like asking, why
does Rice play Texas" in foot
ball.
Sees Difficult Mission
The President said:
1--WE choose to go to the moon
in this decade, not because that
will be easy, but because it will
be hard, because that goal will
serve to organize and measure
the best of our energies and
skills, because that challenge is
one we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to post
pone, and one we intend to
win."
He said the Nations con-
science requires it to lead the
worlds drive into space. and
he called for a bold and dar-
ing and unflinching" effort to
land a man on the moon.
I'VE cannot shrink from. 1t
