'V T -
THEY RODE ME PLENTY when I got hepped up over
the new Pee Gee 2-Coat System. ’ There s nothing
new in the paint field,” they said, "just the old
fashioned kinds that have to be renewed every
J* few years.”
\ I THOUGHT DIFFERENT. I knew the Pee Gee people
* saiwWfc !| were advertising a new kind of house paint, developed
by modern chemists in a modern paint laboratory.
* ; Wmm, I read where they claimed their new 2-Coat System
would outlast average paint jobs 2 to 1. And 1 figured
a company that’s been in business right here in
the South for as long as 73 years "wouldn t make
VI claims they couldn't support.

The modernists in religion have
talked a grea t deal about the di

mo dernist,s are not saying
much now about men being di

divinity when innocent refugees
who are trying to escape have
bombs rained out from the sky
upon their defenseless heads. The
old doctrine of ‘‘total
fits into world conditions today.
We have an educated age. The

schools, colleges, scientific minds,
and Ph. D.’s who are producing
chemicals to destroy civilization,

how Hitler can sleep at night It

gers of ambition are in Hitler’s
ears shutting out the groans and
cries and screams of multiplied
thousands. The fingers of ambi

1 fn the first of the Twelfth
verse
Ohapter of Romans the apostle
Paul, writing under the inspira
tion of the Spirit, says, “I be
seech you, therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye pre
sent your bodies a living sacri
fice,” This passage of scripture is
addressed to Christians. We
by the word “brethren.” When
ever we find the word “brethren”
in the scriptures, we know the
witer is addressing Christians.
Paul is beseeching his brethren
to do something that every Christ
ian shofild gladly do; that is give
their bodies unto God. On the bat
tlefields of Europe multiplied
thousands of soldiers are giving
their bocjies as a sacrifice on the
altar of patriotism. We Christ
ians should be willing to give our
bodies as a living sacrifice.
needs at this time the hands, the
feet, the eyes, the ears, and the
tongues of Christian men and
men everywhere. He needs
to lift up the fallen, eyes to
those who are in need, ears un
stopped to hear the cry of hearts
that are hungry for God, feet to
run errands of mercy, and tongues
to tell of His redeeming grace. In
all my life I have never known a
time when it was easier to talk
to people about God than today. A
feeling has come over men and
women throughout America that
something is about to happen, and
hearts are failing people because
of fear of what may happen. Now
is the golden day of Christian op
portunity for getting the Gospel
message out to lost people.
Thus is no time to expend en
ergy in the building of mere ec
clesiastical machinery, for ecclas
tcal machinery cannot save people.
There is much ecclesiastcal ma
chinery in Europe, but it has been
helpless to save the nations. The
ecclestteal machinery in America
cannot save our nation from ruin.
The job before us is the job for
conscerated, completely - surren
dered, Spirit filled ' individual
-
Christian men and women, deal
ing with individual, lost men and
women. Some great Christian
worker has said. “If I had a
and souls to save I would save one
at a time.” Men cannot be saved
en masse. The need of the world is
not merely the application of the
ethics of Jesus to human Society.
The need of the world is a
erated human society. If Hitler
and Stalin and Mussolini were
defininotely born again, the world
we* would not be on us- The re
generation of one individual may
mean more to human society than
the application of the mere ethics
of Jesus to human life unless Je
SUs Cbrist is enthroned in his
heart. It is (jhrist in men, the
hope of glory, that makes them
effective in living the Christian
life in all of their relationships in
this sin-cursed world. So, after
all, the Gospel is the most prac
tical message in all the world.
The Gospel works.
The ckunk bailed a cab and

“Shay, driver,” he ordered,”

The driver was startled—but he

on the sixty-fifth trip, the stew
leaned over to the driver.

My Dear Constituents:
Congress has been very busy
the past week and the legislative
program is fast reaching comple

ship in evidence, and to the bills
designed to empower the Presi

with authority to speed up the
Natinoal Defense program there
has been only small opposition.

of Columbia bills were disposed
