DEPRESSION MOVING ON
T l, e old depression bus is passing;
you ha ve ridden her enough;
You took advantage of the times
A „d you pulled a winning bluff.
Franklin D. has greased her,
* n d he’s put it up to you
Toftet ou t and Ket behind her
' And help to push her through.
yoU >ve sung the hard time story
Until it's old and stale;
You’ve talked the blue from out the
Until it’s gray and pale.
VoU 've killed the inspiration
That they who feed you had,
p u t since Franklin D. is driving
It doesn’t look so bad.
The time to ride is passing;
You must get out and lift;
por years you rode an e*sy seat,
But the time has come to shift.
You now must work if you would eat
Forget that hard time talk,
For Franklin D. is driving,
And he won’t let her balk.

Today’s lesson is a continuation or
the scrniiu.. on me mount. Christ tells
us tnal it is necessary tor us u> put
God s Kingdom first in our me to
muse liie iully complete. The lite that
is worth living makes deposits in tile
treasury oi ueaven, air* institution
where ufieves cannot break into ami
steal wnat we may deposit, anu where
moth nor rust will not corrupt. Vve
can always be assured that our de
posits in the treasury ,of heaven will
pay a big dividend in the serene life
that rises above the worries a .d anx-
ietnies of this world. We draw that
dividend while we are in this world,
llow much more valuable to us is the
time when we will draw the principal
in a life of eternal happiness. S,o wny
not invest in this heavenly institution
whose dividends are a joy even in
this world and a passport to the
world to oome. To live a triumphant
life, to enjoy these dividends, live a
trusting and believing life that will
assure us of being a depositor in this
heavenly institution.
Laying Up treasures in Heaven
When we are laying up tieasurts
in heaven we must place God’s king
dom above all else. By so doing we
can lay up treasures in, heaven. To
make an investment for eternity sev
eral things are necessary. Lets look
for a few moments what some oi
these things are. First, we must trust
God for every need. He will supply
our every need from heaven’s bounty
as we need it. Contrast the struggling
bond slaves of the world. They sel
dom get what they work for and are
never satisfied with what they gain.
Those who trust the heavenly Father
and put his kingdom above all, are
lead to, know the kind of life to live.
Trust Goa for the proper luxuries of
life. Since we are concerned about
life of trust in our heavenly Father,
who never has nor never will fail us.
We sometimes are so over anxious
that we have doubts as wus the case
with Thomas when Jesus said, “I am
the way, the truth, and the life.”
Christ had told his disciples about
the place that he was going bo pre
pare for them.
Results of Not Putting dod’s
Kingdom First
As when we are too exacting
about questioning God's statements,
so it is when we place our confidence
in belief of security. When man is
too self reliant and self confident ho
becomes carnally secure. And this
carnal security is fraught with greut
danger. Carnal security is iv.,ortal s I
greatest enemy. When an army is in I
a* enemies’ territory and feels most
secure, it is then tnat usually it is
just (before they are going to face de-
ieat. We recall the incident where
the man made more crops than his
barns would hold and when he pulled
down his iold barns and built new
ones, he felt secure in possession of
his worldly goods, but alas, when he
reached this point he then heard the
awful news that on that very night
his soul would be required of him.
How foolish that man was to feel
carnally secure. Felt security removes
vigilance and removes the felt ne
cessity for watchfulness. Christians
are ever in a land of an ever vigi
lant adversary. A religious resolution
with nothing to back it up is but the
deceitful and treacherous attributes
of the flesh already sold to the devil
and pledged to betray the resolution
into theh ands of the enemy at the
very beginning of the struggle. Car
nal security is a bed ,of roses on the
brink of hell. Knowing what trials
await us Christ warns us as he did
Peter. He warns us in His word.
Monuments of apostacy stand out
upon the pages of sacred history, and
bids us beware: The wretched soul
in the miserable band of the witch
of Eudor, in his complaint to Samuel

THE TOWN TATTLER
And now comes the saddest of
times, when best of lriends must
pari, but since this old column has
accomplished its aim in hie it must
now go the way ,of all old and out-
oi-date things. So with much sor
row we put away this "poison pen >
ar.d this old bottle of “tattle ink
it has been with much pleasure
that vve have done our part in re
forming some of the sowers oi
-wild oats” in our fair commune
but now we must quietly fold oui
tents, and like the Arabs, silently
slip away. . Tr
But before we do this, Herman
wants to warn a certain young
gent that he must be careful how
he d,oes his “fooling round or like
his sins, it will surely find him out.
And Oscar would like to say io
that tall dark basketball player
that in the future he musu avoid
all blonds or he will be made the
subiect of a special column.
Also to the little blonde who
thicks she knows “it all” we would
like tosay thaf wisdom comes only
with age” and that she must either
quit playing “kiddish or know
le And now with thanks to those
who have taken the trouble to
“pen” their thoughts and comp.i-
ments to us we’ll say adieu, fare
well, tootle-e-o. .
That’s all, there isnt any
necessary, we should learn a lesson
nfrom the lily of the fields who waits
its odor about it and flaunts to the
wir.d its petals of perfect white, an
emblem of innocence. It does not toil
as does a man in procuring his pur
ple and fine linen, yet it has a glory
and splendor that was not even
equaled by the court of King Solomon
or the Queen of Sheba in her glorious
raiment. And lets get impressed upon
our very being that God painted the
lily of the field in all its splendor.
While it is in. all its glory today, to
morrow it dies, withers and its buried
or destroyed. Why shcMd we be so
anxious about our subsistence when
we have a Father like this. We have
a glorious heritage in this heaven.y
Father, a heritage that enables us to
live forever after the toils and labors
of this life are over. In order to en
joy the good things of which we have
been thinking there is a call for vol
untary service. We are 1 free moral
agents, and if he has to be a bond
servant he can choose his master.
Whoever or whatever we serve is of
our ,own choosing. Thre is with this
call an implied call for 1 exclusive
service. It it utterly impossible for
one to give his talents and time to
more than one master. We can not
serve God and at the same time be
in the employ of the devil. A soldier
cannot fight with two armies at the
same time. If he undertaxes to fra
ternize with the enemy he will likely
prove a traitor to his own outfit. So
it is when we enlist in God’s army.
We do not and must jiot fraternize
with the devil, for in so doing we may
prove a traitor to God’s cause, and
thus put ourselves in a position that
we may be expelled from the army
of righteousness and when this is
don ethe devil forgets the beautiful
things that he promised the poor man
There is no place in this world or in
the world to oome for a traitor. An
example of a traitor is brought to our
minds in the case of Benedict Arnold.
He deserted his own army and went
over to the enemy ar.d when he did
they did not appreciate him for they
knew he had no strength of character
and that in time of greatest peril he
might again, prove traitor. Benedict
Arnold died in disgrace and that stain
of character lingers with his memory.
On the .other hand that great and
matchless Christian gentleman, R. E.
Lee, was true to his trust though it
nroved to be loss of success for his
cause, but the great thing about Lee
was that he put God above all else.
He was not only the greatest and
most beloved military commander of
all but he was a Christian gentleman.
This latter is what accounts for his
j greatness, ard when the final muster
is held to make up the army for God’s
kingdom, Robert E. Lee will be there.
Where, at that time will Benedict
Arnold be ?
There is a call to service ,of true
devotion of two or more contending
masters. Only one can be loved. If
we sreve C.ort be -alls for our whole
heart and we should hold on, to the
rMit with all our energy thus proving
t,o the world under whose banner we
are marching. There is always a call
for unworldlv service. T/?ts not he the
slave of worldliness in any manner.
T- it "ond hurines- to make bus'ne-s
jour .whole aim'ir life’ Tt is best to
make business secondary.
Serve
Anxiety is one of the great afflic
tion of mankind. Worry and anxiety
takes its toll of thousands every year.
At the same time there is an antidote
for all this anxiety, namely faith in
God We should, therefore bve, the
blood run cold in our veins, "God has
departed from us.” Solomon who had
been a recipient of the choice boun
ties ot heaven, in. his \id age, made
the curse of an incensed God, surveys
his wealth, his kingly mnagnificerce,
his years of debaucheries and idola
tries and exclaims, “All is vanity and
vexation of spirit.” Look at the hor
rid end iof the trator, Judas, and take
heed how you sell your Lord
But when the righteous Father
turneth away from his righteousness
und committeth iniquity shall we live ?
All his righteousness that he hath
done shall not be mentioned, in his
trespasses and in his sins in them
shall he die, and the last s£ate of that
man shall be worse than the first.
It had been better not to have known
the way of righteousness than after
they have known it, to turn fnom the
holy commandment delivered unto
them. So we see the principles taught
by the Saviour were even spokhn of
in the above which is recorded by
Ezekiel.
Tiiere Is a Place For Material
Things in the World
But this place is secondary. All the
things for our personal upkeep and
our personal efficiency will be added
to us in such a way that we wiil be
enabled to utilize them. Such a life is
symmetrical. It is not one sided. All
things then, money, social position,
fame, etc., are in their proper place.
The Serene Life
Do not borrow trouble-from some
their day. Let’s invest all our resourc
es in the works of today, When this
is done, not only will we be content
with today but will also be content
with tomorrow and all other days.
A Sufficiency
So live each day that ,our strength
willbe ready for each day with its
temptations ar.d pitfalls set by the
evil one. Then we can let our lights
shine to the glory of the Heavenly
Father. Then it is that we have in
herited a dwelling place in the new
Jerusalem that John so vividly por-
trayeduto us. Such being the case
why not be ready to claim the in
heritance when the time of probation
comes ?
INTERESTING “AD” HAS
. FACTS ABOUT LEE
We’ve always said that some of
the advertisements are as interesting
as the news. This fact is particularly
emphasized by a special campaign
now being published in this paper—
the Chilean Natural Nitrate cam
paign.
In addition to telling the well-
known virtues of this product, its
natural origin, its yital impurities and
so ,on, the particular- advertisement
we have just been reading gives some
little-known information about the
national hero, Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Gen. Lee graduated in 1829, second m
his class at West Point, ahead of 44
class mates, a year before the first
cargo Chilean natural nitrate came
in, under sail, to a southern port. To
graduate from West Point then as
now, indicated high ability. To lead 44
classmates and be led by cfxily one
shows how exceptionally high were
the abilities of the man destined to be
come a great figure in history.
