Paul also shows us that saints are the habitation of God. “In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit” (Eph. 2:22). This description implies more than a p l a c e for evacuees, furnished with the minimum of furni ture for temporary comfort. It is “ a building fitly framed together” which “groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord” (Eph. 2:21). It is our spiritual home. Home! Nowhere in the world is there any place like it. We may have all of its comforts elsewhere but we are still homesick. Home is the place of hospitality, of freedom, of welcome, with that indefinable some thing which we discover in no other spot. Be it a cottage or mansion, in the country or city, it has within it the genius to satisfy the inner part of our nature. Though we travel far, we ever have a yearning for home, where alone the heart finds, rest. The saint is God’s home. Is not Heaven God’s home? Yes, but He also dwells in the heart of the saint, where He finds rest. The saint is one who has handed over to the Lord the keys of his life, so that God may have perfect freedom to arrange everything according to His desire. There is no groaning under the tyranny of the despot, but ready acquiescence to the plan and purpose of the One who has justified freedom of action by the greatness of the price paid. The, saint realizes that he was not bought with "silver and gold ... but with the pre cious blood of Christ” (1 Pet. 1:18, 19). There are different kinds of saints just as there are different people in homes. There were saints, in Caesar’s household. Rome in those days was morally corrupt. Society was steeped in nameless vices. But in the midst of such an environment saints were found. Surely if ordinary men and women could be godly in the Rome of that day, they can be saintly at any time, anywhere. Everywhere sin abounds. God’s call to us is to live strong, clean, happy lives, standing firm against cynicism and derision, and opposing the popular practices of those with whom we live and work in this world. Such an over coming experience was possible in Caesar’s day, and it is possible in our time, because Christ Himself is ade quate for any e n v i r o n m e n t . He, through His children, will win the victory. "But be of good cheer,” said He, “I have overcome the world.”
Object: A crown made of gilt pa* per. (Use a piece of paper 11 x 5 Inches. Fold each end the long way to within Y* inch of the middle, which will leave a gap of % Inch. In this gap, print the word “KING." Open the flaps and using the letters In the word “KING,” complete the following words, “TAKE, LIBERTIES, CHIL* DREN, BELONGINGS." Curve the bot tom slightly, and cut points in the top to make the paper look like a crown.) Lesson: Kings and crowns are asso ciated with each other. In looking at this crown, you will notice the word “KING” printed down the middle of It. As we look at this crown, we are reminded of the time when the eld ers of Israel cai#e to Samuel and said, “Make us a king to judge us like all the nations" (1 Sam. 8:5). We are told that this request dis pleased Samuel, who was a faithful judge* over Israel. He was a wise man and he made it a matter of prayer. Here is God’s answer to Samuel’s prayer. “And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them . . . Yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them” (1 Sam. 8:7, 9). When we open the crown, we shall see some of the things which Samuel told the children of Israel. We read, “TAKE LIBERTIES, CHILDREN, BE LONGINGS.” They were not to have the freedom they had known under the judges. Their children would, be made servants of the king, and a part of their belongings taken to supply the needs of the king’s household. Samuel ended his warnings with the words, “And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day” (1,Sam. 8:18). “Nevertheless the peo ple refused to obey the voice of Sam uel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us” (1 Sam. 8:19). All of this disobedience resulted in great sorrow, as it does today when God’s people chqpse to be like the world, instead of the way God wants them to be.
