It takes both of these elements to make true religion
(J.R. Miller, “Daily Bible Readings in the Life of Christ” 1890)
“Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was just and devout”
Luke 2:25
He was just in all his dealings with men--and devout in his dealings toward God. It
takes both of these elements to make true religion.
Some people are just--and not devout!They are scrupulously honest in all their
dealings--and yet they never think of God, or of their duties to Him. They do not bow
to Him in prayer, nor do they ever lift their hearts to Him in praise. They do not love
Him. They confess no obligations to Him. Their whole religion simply is honesty
toward their fellow-men--while they utterly ignore God, their Creator and Redeemer,
in Whom they live, from Whose grace every blessing in their lives flows, and upon
Whom they are dependent every moment for breath and existence. It is readily seen,
that such religion is no religion at all.
While we are just and honest in our transactions with men it is to God that we owe the
first and highest duties. We are His creatures; we are saved, it at all, by His grace; we
owe to Him obedience, faith, love, honour, service. So we must be devout as well as
just.
On the other hand, there are some people who profess to be devout--who are not just!
They attend upon ordinances, they sing and pray; and then they go out into the week-
day world, and are hard, unjust, greedy, and oppressive! It is very evident that this kind
of religion does not please God. He wants our praise and honour--but He wants us to
honour Him by our lives and actions, as well as by our lips.
There are two tables of commandments; and the second table commandments are as
binding as the first. We are to love God with all our heart (the first table)--but we are
also to love our neighbour as ourselves (the second table). While we are devout toward
God--we are to be honest, true, unselfish toward men. The two things must go together,
and must never to torn asunder!

Visitors to Hullett CPS explain disabilitiesBy Morgan HowsonLast week the school was full ofhyperactive students not onlybecause of the snow, but also
because Christmas is just around the
corner.
Last Tuesday the Grade 1 class
found out what it is like to be
different. Two special visitors –
Rainbow Friend and Snap, were very
shy when they came into the
classroom, because they were
different – because they had
disabilities. Rainbow Friend only
had one arm and he was unable to
talk. He used a sound board to
communicate and he showed
students how he could throw a ball
with only one arm. Snap wore dark
glasses because the light hurt his
eyes. He had a metal brace on his leg
and he had a wheelchair and a
walker to help him move around.
Rainbow Friend and Snap taught
Grade 1 students that it is okay to be
different. They also showed the
students how important it is to help
others who can’t do things by
themselves, especially those with
disabilities. A special thank you to
Marg and Nicole from Rural
Response for Healthy Children.
