History repeats itself. Men never
seem to learn from the experiences
at others, whether they be personal
or national. Judah, the southern
part of the divided kingdom, saw the
downward path at Israel end its ul-
timate captivity. The same process
went on in Judah, although hindered
now and then by good kings who
brought about a partial return to
God.
Ultimately the day came when
Jerusalem was destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar's troops and the
people carried off to their long years
of captivi j in Babylon.
Jeremiah ministered as God’s
prophet during Judah’s declining
years, bringing them God’s word of
judgment for their sins and urging
them to submit. His voice was un-
heeded and for his faithfulness he
received only their hatred and per-
secution. God gave him the strength
and grace to be true in a very diffi-
cult mission.
Our lesson for today tells how God
in a graphic object lesson taught the
prophet and the people that they
were in the hands of a sympathetic
but at the same time a sovereign
God.
I. The Potter and His Work (vv.
1-4).
The maker of pottery took the
lump of clay, placed it on his wheel,
and with his hand formed it into
the kind of vessel he wanted. If it
became misshapen or showed a de-
fect, he could moisten and remold
the clay into another vessel as it
suited him. The clay was in his
hand tp meet his purpose and his
will.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan fittingly
suggests that there are three things
to .be borne in mind here: a prin-
ciple, a purpose, and a person. And
as we apply the truth to ourselves as
God’s children, we spell the Per-
son of the Potter with a capital “P,”
for He is none other than God Him-
self.
The principle is that God is abso-
lutely sovereign, that He does as He
wills for His own glory. Until we
recognize that principle, “life will be
a failure. If, however, I have dis-
covered this principle alone, then my
soul will be filled with terror. I
must also see the purpose.”
The purpose is the working out of
His will for each of us. He knows
us, and He has a plan for our lives,
and is able to make that plan come
to pass if we permit Him to do so.
But, as Dr. Morgan says, “if I
know principle and purpose only, I
shall yet tremble and wonder, and
be filled with a haunting foreboding."
But as “I press through the principle
and beyond the purpose and discov-
er the Person of the Potter, then the
purpose will flame with light, and
the principle that appears so hard
and severe will become the sweetest
and tenderest thing in my life.”
God spoke to Jeremiah through the
scene In the potter’s house, and He
also wants to talk to our hearts.
D. God and Judah (w. 5-10, 15a,
17a).
The lesson is plain. God had for
His people a high and glorious pur-
pose. He wanted to bless them and
use them for His glory. But they
were a sinful and rebellious people,
stiff-necked and stubborn in their un-
belief, and the vessel of honor which
God was trying to form was marred
in His hand.
God did not act in anger or in
disregard of their rights. He was
forced to bring judgment upon them
because of their own sin. That sin*
is stated in verse 15—they had for-
gotten God.
One trembles as he applies that
test of God’s requirement for bless-
ing upon a nation to our own land.
There is a haunting fear that while
therfe are some who truly worship
God, and a larger number who pro-
fess to worship Him, a great host of
the peopWof America have forgot-
ten God. ^
Docs our nution remember Him
and seek His counsel and blessing
in its rational affairs? Do we in-
quire after the ways of righteous-
ness? Are we eager for spiritual
revival and increasing grace even
within the church?
Judah was to be scattered “as
with an east wind”—and who does
not know that it came to pass. Where
are they today?
But even in the midst of judgment
the Lord speaks of mercy. The Lord
who will “pluck up, break down and
destroy” (v. 7) the people who forget
Hiin, is eager and ready “to build
and to plant” the nation when it
turns to Him.
The sure promise of God’s future
blessing upon a repentant Israel and
Judah is written large in the mes-
sages of all the prophets.
The same God, eternally sovereign
in His purpose, is our heavenly Fa-
ther, The man or woman whose ves-
sel of life has been marred by sin
and failure need only yield anew to
the Potter’s blessed hand.

A HOME FRONT
The Textile Industry is making a valuable contribution to our
Nation at wa-r. The looms of this great industry are performing
miracles in die production of parachutes, tents, boats, stretch-
ers and other vital equipment.
To civilians, the Textile Industry supplies many home front
necessities. Of major importance to our American way of life
are the cloth bags and sacks used by manufacturers to protect
and ship foodstuffs, as well as feed, to the farms.
From the textile mills to consumer, The Texas and Pacific
senes the Textile Industry. We salute this great industry...
