H. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: I T S VALUE. Solomon in Proverbs 16:16 says that Wisdom is better than gold or silver. Christ is the Wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:30). Surely in a thousand ways He is worth more than the material things of earth. The speaker may mention some of these ways which appeal most. IH. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: ITS MEANS. We are favored in this land with many helps to a Christian education. Among these are an open Bible, the Sunday- school, Christian literature, Bible In stitutes, theological seminaries that honor the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, and Christian Endeavor societies and conventions. IV. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: ITS ABUSE. Solomon was given great wisdom and understanding, but he' abused it. Pride and sin ruined his testimony. We who live in America will be held accountable for our use of our God-given privileges. V. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: ITS EMPLOYMENT. A Christian education should lead a consecrated Christian young person to be “approved” of God (2 Tim. 2:15), a better witness for Him, and more fruit ful in Christian service (cf. John 15:1-8). VI. CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: HAR MONIZING IT WITH SECULAR EDUCATION. There need be no disharmony between the two. Rather, Christian education will show a person how to rightly use secular education. It will keep the student from embracing untruth such as evolution, etc. For the Leader Questions the leader may use for a discussion period concerning the Scrip tures assigned for the topic: 1. Why is wisdom better than gold or silver? (Prov. 16:16). 2. Is there any connection between true education and joy? (Eccl. 2:26; 7:11, 12; Prov. 1:7; cf. 3:5-7; 13-26). 3. On what conditions does God give wisdom to a person? (1 Ki. 3:7,9; Jas. 1:5-7). 4. Did Solomon always use correctly the wisdom God gave him? (1 Ki. 4:29, 30; cf. 8:22-24, 30, 54-56, 61; 11:1-11). What about some Christians? 5. Whom has God sent to be the great Educator of the children of God, and how does He do His work? (John 14:26; 16:13-15). Concluding challenge which may be presented by the leader: Realizing the importance and privilege of education and of Christian education in particu lar, let us yield ourselves more fully to the guidance and instruction of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, that we may be fitted in the best possible way to witness for Christ in our de

GOVERNMENT ‘ P salm 144:9-15 By Lyman A. Wendt Introduction
In every age, the Christian has had to face the question as to what his attitude and relationship shall be toward his gov ernment. The matter of government is inescapable! Even if a group of monks, pledged to poverty, should band togeth er, it would be necessary to appoint one of their number to handle the funda mental questions of shelter and food, to store and apportion the supplies for the next day. And this would be govern ment. They would have one other course —to choose an “outsider” to take care of these matters. In this manner they would be able to carry out their inten tion, but they would find themselves at the beck and call of this one from the outside. Here also is government—of a different nature. So it has been through the ages. And in each generation, Christians have been forced to decide what their relationship shall be between their “religion” and their "government.” For Those Who Have Topics I. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE THROUGH THE CENTURIES. (Speaker can get additional material from any condensed church history. Ask librarian for help on this subject.) 1. The early church under the ruthless persecution of pagan Roman emperors, A. D. 100-300 (“Nero, as a single ex ample, drove his chariot to the imperial gardens between rows of Christian mar tyrs wrapped in their burning sheets of flame” ), met In the catacombs, and had absolutely no part In the adminis tration of the state. 2. Then came the adoption of “ Chris tianity” by the Roman Empire. It degen erated into a strange mixture with pag-
