POSTAL IMPROVEMENT .!
I WEEK IS OBSERVED
May 1 Sees Inaugurated First;
General Campaign of
» Kind in Service.
r
Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day. and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion '
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred ,
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
It Is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the '
Innermost interests of a greater num-'
b»r of men and women than any other ■
• Institution on earth. No private busi
ness, however widespread, touches so ;
many lives so often or sharply; no i
church reaches into so many souls, i
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on Its min
istrations.
“Postal Improvement Week” has
been set for May 1, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of its kind in the Postal Sen-ice
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users of
the mall, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza
tion of 326,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this country-wide campaign
of Interest in postal improvements
Your help is vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don't abbreviate. Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back) .
and always look at your letter before '
dropping, in the mail to see if it is
properly addressed. This care in the i
use of the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mail matter.
If you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster.
He has Instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

I. Isaiah’s Vision of Glory (vv. 1-1).
So definite was this vision that the
prophet remembered the very time of
its occurrence. It meant so much to
him that he could ever look buck to
it ;is a day when his ministry took on
a new meaning.
1. He Saw the Lord on His Throne I
(v. 1). Though the death of Uzzlab |
left Judah’s throne empty it was made
clear to the prophet that the throne
of God was occupied. The Lord was
high and lifted up. showing that He
is above all kingdoms. This was a
peculiar preparation of Isaiah for his
work. The one who Ims really seen
God can never be the same again; life
has a fuller meaning ever afterward.
2. He Saw the Seraphims Above (v\.
2. 3). Just who these beings are we
do not know. The word signifies
’■fiery," “burning." They were glorious
beings whoso business was to wait
upon the Lord, to go on errands lor
Hhu. They fluid six wings two for
flight; two to rotor their face, show
ing reverence; and two Io cover their
feet, showing humility. These three
pairs show that reverence and 1:u
mility are of equal value before God.
with activity. The song of the sern
phlms shows that they saw holiness as
God's supreme attribute. The thrice
“holy" perliaps refers to the Trinity.
The first choir sang, "Holy, holy, holy,”
and the second choir responded to
this by saying, "The whole earth is
full of His glory."
3. The Manifestation of Majesty (v
4). "The posts of the door moved at
the voice of him that cried, and the
house was ftliod with smoke." The
smoke, no doubt, signified God s wrath
against man's sinfulness (see Psalms
18:8; 74:1).
11. Isaiah’s Conviction of Sin (v 6)
The vision of God brought the
prophet to see hfiftself, It is onjt In
’he light of God s holiness that wessee
our nnhellness Khen Peter. got a
glimpse of who Christ was he begged
Him to depart from him, saying, -‘De
part from me: for I am a sinful man,
O lord" (Lube 5;8). The prophet not
only realized''hut he was a sinner,
but that the nation was a nation of
sinners. Wlmi the world needs today

: his call by dedicating himself to the
task.* He said, “Here am 1; send me.”
V. Isaiah’s Commission (vv. 9-13).
1. The Sending (vv. 9, JO). He had
i a most discouraging task before him.
He is assured that the people will

it. They, will even increase in blind
ness ands deafness to the divine warn
ings—they will neither be converted
‘ nor healed. Such a hopeless task
, would onlv be undertaken by one who
i had bad a vision of God.
2. The Eneouaragement (vv. 11-13).
Facing this discouraging outlook the
prophet raised the inquiry, “Lord, how
long?" The Lord in His reply assured
him that it would not last forever.
Tiie land would be desolate, the cities
without inhabitants, and the houses
without occupants; but as the oak re
tains its vital substance even long
after it has been cut down, so from
