Sunday School Lesson GOD'S LAW REAFFIRMED MEMORY SELECTION: "Give me understanding, and I shall keep the law; year. I shall observe it with my whole heart." —(Psalm 119:34) LESSON TEXT: Nehemiah 8-0 Our Lesson today strives to emphasize the fact that spiritual growth and maturity are of necessity the offsprings of an understanding of the Word, and our own individual, highly personal, dedication and commitment to God. As a result of today's studies we will see that God uses people from all walks of life, Just as Nehemiah was a practical man, and a leader in his field, so was Ezra a leader in his field — for he was a scribe and interpreter of God's laws. He served as a cornerstone for the Israelites for rebuilding — not only the Temple and the walls of Jerusalem — but their faith. During the period of captivity (which lasted about seventy years) the laws of Mcses, the language in which they were written, and the customs of the Jewish race were apparently allowed to languish, at least by the majority. Thanks however, to the efforts of a devout few, they had been preserved, and, with the return of the exiles to their own land, were brought forth and a great period of reaffirmation was begun. Certainly Jerusalem needed desperately a revival of her spiritual and religious life! The fact that a multitude appeared in the public square to hear Ezra's reading and interpretation of the laws of their fathers before them, would indicate that the people are hungry for knowledge, and for a figurehead in whom they could place their trust. How pleased God must have been! The rebuilding of Jerusalem was a moral and spiritual experience for the common man and woman who made up the citizens of that town. Nehemiah's success in rebuilding the wall renewed, the people's faith in God's presence and guidance to their lives. Balancing on the other side of the scale was the fact that Ezra was well equipped both spiritually and educationally, to lead the people to a deeper understanding and acceptance of God's laws. But both men had one thing in common . . . their personal commitment to the Lord's work, their deep Christian concern for the people they were over seeing. Although their special talent lay in different directions, they met and upheld each other on common grond . . . the restoration of not only a city but of a nation, in the name of the Lord. So it is that we see clearly once again, that God can use each and everyone of us in he fulfilling of His over-reaching plan for mankind. At this point in time, do we not need to pause for a moment and ask ourselves — "Am I one of God's builders?" Whether it be the rebuilding of the spirit of a fellow-man, the rekindling of faith in one who walks in doubt, or — on a more basic and prosaic level (although none the less important) concrete, material help to those more unfortunate than we this is still the work of God, though the instrument of man; it is an individual reaffirmation of God's concern and a sense of rightness no matter what form it takes: just so pong as the goal is God's goal . . . love and justice for each and every man, and the honest earning of the rewards He is only too anxious to heap upon us, as a loving Father and Mentor. It is not easy, as many of Us realize in our day to-day existence, to say: "Not mine. but They will be done . . ." To do so requires great spiritual maturity (spiritual maturity such as evidenced by Nehemiah and Ezra) out only through men of such stature will overall reaffirmation come. LEGAL AID NEWS Enough can never be said about the malpractices of home improvement dealers, who under the guise of bringing a person's home up to Atlanta Housing Code standards, end up taking the person's home. What heppens is that the dealer entices the homeowner into signing a security deed which he can foreclose on if the home owner gets behind in his payments for alleged, repairs. In many cases, too, the pairs are never completed. Following is a typical example of how these dealers operate. As you will see, there is nothing inherently complicated as to how they swindle their customers, in fact, that is why so many homeowners are easily taken. The name of the client and the dealer in the following episode are fictitious but the incident is based on fact. In fact August last year a salesman from Take-It All Construction Company went to the home of Mrs. I Donna Know and offered to make certain repairs and improvements on her house. He induced her to sign for the repairs on the pretense that they were necessary to bring her home up to Atlanta Housing Code standards. About two weeks later the constructor from Take-ItAll went to Mrs. Know's home and enticed her and her daughter to sign certain papers and documents claiming that they were a life insurance policy and an instrument in the nature of a will. As it turned out, Mrs. Know had signed a Home Improvement Note, a of indebtedness, and a Security Deed. Prior to the company beginning work on her house and on several occasions after wards, Mrs. Know demanded copies of all notes and contracts she had signed. However, Take-It— All and its financing agent, GYP-Easy Finance Company, refused to deliver copies to her this was in violation of Georgia Law. Copies were delivered only a month later upon demand by the Solicitor General of the Atlanta. Judicial District. Presently our client found that the monthly payments, which took almost all of her welfare check, were too high. When she was unable to continue making the payments, the finance company that had acquired all notes, contracts and security deeds from the original holder proceeded to foreclose on the Security Deed Mrs. Donna Know had unknowing signed. Meanwhile, Legal Aid found that the finance corporation was not the holder in due course having, acquired the note as a subsidiary of the original holder and knowing of the misrepresentation involved when the client was induced to sign the note. In the petition filed on behalf of Mrs. Know, Legal Aid attorneys are asking that the contract be nullified, for injunctive relief of the Security Deed, and for money damages for acts of fraud and for other violations of Georgia Law. Again we warn homeowners: be suspicious of the home improvement dealer Don't hastily sign anything he present to you and NEVER sign anything you don't understand. If in doubt contact a private attorney or the Atlanta Legal Aid Society.
