I o u r Oppni'lu n i4f§
A drive for the relief of the unfortunate people ot
China will get under way this week in Newton County.
While there have been many drives we believe this one
is the most important one to be held in this county.
China today holds a unique place in the history of
the world. It is China and China alone which will event
ually be the mainstay in our war with Japan. They are
fighting our war in China and every Jap they kill is one
less that our boys will have to kill eventually.
We may as well look matters in the face and realize
this war with Japan is to kill or be killed. They will never
be satisfied until they fight to the very last man. They
realize that if they lose this war their fate as a nation will
be sealed.
The Japanese heretofore have dominated to a large
extent all the Far East and they realize that if they wish
to keep this domination they must win this war at all
cost.
They are in a parallel with a big bully who has ruled
a certain crowd for a while and know that when this rule
is over there are many, many private scores which will
have to be settled. j
In dominating the Far East they have been merciless
in every case. Merciless may be calling it mild, but for
the sake of the facts in the case, we must call it ruthless,
In being ruthless with all whom they comb ip contact they
have indelibly impressed upon the minds of the citizens
of Korea, Manchuria and China the fact that to survive
they must remain free from the domination of Japan and
when the final score is all added up it will be the sum
total of the entire destruction of the Japanese people out
side of their little islands which compose Japan proper.
In assisting in this drive for China Relief we are as- !
sisting in the ultimate destroy a 1 of civilization’s greatest
enemy and are at the same time immediately giving as
sistance to millions of people who are entirely destitute.
In giving generously to China Relief we are feeding
the hungry and making strong bodies which will eventual
ly assist us in destroying our mutual enemy.
Hundreds and thousands of people are dying today
in China from hunger who should shoulder a rifle and
help repel the enemy. It takes years to rear a soldier from !
birth, yet only a few dollars will preserve that soldier
to fight for us.
By neglecting to feed these hundreds and thousands
of Chinese ^ who are our able allies, we are assisting Japan
to win this war. People cannot fight on empty stomachs
and it matters not how many men we may send in the
near future if we do not send aid to China today the lives
of those soldiers whom we will have to send in the future
will be sacrificed.
China has been gallantly fighting for the last six
years v hat has eventually turned out to be our war. We
must take the responsibility and carry on from this point,
We sold scrap iron to Japan against the pleadings of all
Chinese patriots who foresaw this conflict. Now it is up
to us to send our dollars over there to help repair an in
significant portion of the damage we did in order to earn
a few paltrv ' dollars
Altei . all, Will be woith little
OU1 money should China .
fall into the hands of the Japanese.. A few dollars con
tributed today may save hundreds and thousands of dollars
in the future.
Those of you who doubt w’hat China is doing today
and those of you who would wish a first-hand description
of the horrible things which are happening in that un
fortunate land today are cordially invited to come to
the First Methodist Church tonight at 8:30 and hear Mrs.
Pope Branch as she tells of her experiences there. It will
be educational as well as inspirational and we urge you
to attend.
When you have attended and heard this brilliant
woman tell of the China of today we urge you to liberally
give to the workers who will call on you in the interest
of Chinese Relief. Remember that practically every penny
you give goes direct to the Chinese people as only seven
cents and less out of each dollar is spent in delivering your
dollar direct to those in need.
Remember the words of our Creator:
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom. For with the same meas
ure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Some of the brightest and bravest pages in the his
tory of this war are being written in the Balkans. Hitler’s
brutal legions have overrun the little states—but they
have not broken the spirit of the people. The Balkan peo
ple, by the million, are fighting back.
The saga of General Mikhailovich, the Yugoslavian
leader, will make a magnificent book some day. When
the Yugoslavian armies were crushed, a plane was ready
to take him to safety. But he refused to go. He remained
behind to organize the most remarkable guerrilla army
in history—an army which has taken a toll of thousands
of Germans and Italians.
Some 23,000 square miles of rough and difficult
country is still controlled by Mikhailovich’s hordes. Hit
ler and Mussolini have no bitterer, braver, or more de
termmed enemy.
Colleges are now so comprehensive they teach young
sters how to do almost anything except punctuate and
spell.
A land of equality is a place where you and the other
fellow get equal breaks if you have equal bank rolls.

Jacob Seeks (iod’s Help
Lesson: Genesis 31-33.
Golden Text; God is our refuge
and strength, A very present help
ill trouble. Psalm 46:1.
Jacob had been compelled to
work for fourteen years for
Rachel’s hand, and seven years
more in the building of his fortune.
At last Laban’s treatment became
so intolerable that Jacob decided
to take his flocks, his followers,
and his family and go back to the
) land from which he had originally
come.
As he neared the border of the
homeland, he heard that Esau was
approaching with an army. He
made quick provision to meet his
angry brother, and this is the
position in which we find him as
our lesson opens.
But suddenly as Jacob journeyed
| along the road, he met a bright
i company of angels. The heavenly
host was wearing the accouter
ments of war and marching in
battle array. To the tired and
worn-out Jacob, the sight of a
celestial army, radiant with light,
armed with weapons no man could
withstand, walking with assured
step just a few hundred yards
awffy, and not only by their ap
pearance but by their every move
conveying the impression that they
were his allies, must have changed
his anxiety into calmness, his des
pair into a sense of triumph.
Said Jacob, “This is God's host:
and he called the name of that
place Mahaniam”—which means,
“two camps.”
The lesson for Jacob was, and
the lesson for men and women
ever will be, that there are always
two camps in life, the earthly and
the heavenly, the material and the
spiritual, the camp which is seen
and that camp which is unseen
save to the eyes of faith,
This incident occurred thous
ailds of years a g°. but God meant
to strengthen men and women
with the disclosure that they arc
never alone.
The single verse teaches u:
briefly these four lessons; first
that Jacob had his vision as h
went on his way. it was not i
the ecstatic experience of praye
or after hours of vigil that th
divine assurance came to him. I
was on a day when he pioddin
along, weary of body and anxiou
of mind, that the heavenly hof
came to cheer and strengthen him
The secor,d le9SOn is that Jac0
rec °g nized the heavenly host wne
he saw it. Visions are never wast
ed on people who cannot under
stand their meaning. Becaus
Jacob was a religious man, iv
understood what God was tryinr
to say to him.
* In the third P} ace ’ the VI3i01
P romised what he most ’ nePded
£oldiers ' Smging anRels clad in
bri £ ht array would have been lltt,e
use to Jacob.
God’s gifts to us are always
given just when we need them and
in the form we need them.
Last of ail, he met the heavenly
host in an hour of crisis. The vision
coll,d not have been £ iven at a,,y
° ,her time and have Deen s0 effec "
tive-in establishing Jacob’s morale
We can be sure that God’s bles
sings will come to us, not only in
the form we most need but at pre
cisely the right moment,
With full confidence in his abili
ty to handle any difficult situa
tion, Jacob attempted to overawe
his simple-minded brother with a
show of his wealth and power. The
word he sent was, I have been so
journing with our uncle Laban, and
I am coming back home rich in
flocks, herds, and servants. “I have
sent to tell my lord, that I may
find favor in thy sight.”
When the messengers return
ed with the information that Esau
and his armed forces were march
ing steadily toward them, Jacob
was thoroughly frightened. He
divided his company into two
groups, hoping that if one was de
stroyed the other might escape.
Here was a man whom God
cou ld use as a leader, once his
nature had been cleansed and his
powers turned into the channel of
righteous purpose. He was pre
solving, shrewd, and brave to the
1 xtent that he would allow no
dan s er to deter him from an un_
dertaking. If this man could be
tescued from his meanness and
f ayed to higher things, God could
make conspicuous use of his tal
ents.
Because he believed in God,
.incob was determined to see this
alarming situation through to the
trid - He was sti " ™»n and seif
seeking, but the hand of God lay
prophetically on his heart, and he
knevv ’ himse,f to be a man set a '
" ^ woTnotT'turned
back
at the very entrance of the pro
mised land, even by Esau and his
four hundred men. He would di
vide his company into two groups
and wait to see what Esau would
do.
In the meantime, although he
knew it not, God was preparing
for him an ordeal in which his
soul would be transformed.
M this juncTire Jacob prayed
as men can pray only when they (
are confronted with ruin. -It is
well for us to note both the form
and the content of this prayer, for
therein are the real qualities of
the man’s soul revealed.
He began his prayer by acknow
ledging the might and power of
God. He called upon Jehovah as
the God of Abraham and Isaac.
Our Lord, when he taught his
disciples to pray, made the open
ing words of his famous prayer an
j ascription of praise to God_“Our
Father, who art in heaven, hal
lowed be thy name—” All prayers
which are mighty in spiritual pow
er are filled with praise. A prayer
which merely asks God to give us
something may be too selfish a j
prayer for God to answer in the i
way we desire. We must make an
| offering to God every time we
pray, and one of the most accept
able offerings is praise,
Then Jacob called God’s atten
tion to the promise. He had made,
God had commanded him to return
to his country and had promised
to do him good. Furthermore, he
would make his seed as the sand
of the sea "which cannot be
numbered for multitude.”
God wants us always to remem
ber his promises. The Bible is full
of them. They are sincerely made,
and God wants us to keep our
selves keenly conscious of the fact j
that He stands ready to fulfill
them, every one.
Then Jacob confessed his un
worthiness. “I am not worthy of
the least of all the loving-kind- (
ness,” he declared, "and of all the ;
truth, unto thy which thou hast showed j
servant . . .’’When the
mean schemer who had lived so
consistently for his own selfish
ends said that and meant it, he
was getting his soul ready to re
ceive a great gift from God.
Last of all, Jacob asked for de- j
liverence. He feared Esau lest he |
come and smite him, and he had
good cause to fehr. “Deliver me, J
pray thee,” he said.
Our greatest prayer must al- j j
ways be for deliverance. To be
escued from evil is the greatest
'dessing we can ever exprience.
^his Jacob sought, and in so doing
ic sought God’s highest good.
But Jacob, even as he prayed. I
vas far from being a true servant :
T God. He still relied upon his own !
owers, and as he arose from his
knees it was with the full confi- j
dence that God would come in J
and supplement his powers and j
’elp him to out wit his brotherI
nd to take the promised land. j
As he crossed the brook Jabbok,
'owever, he suddenly felt himself j
'aid hold on by mighty hands. It
bad never occurred to him that he I j
nould not enter the promised land
until he had come face to face I
with God and squared everything 1
with the Almighty.
Jacob thought the land must be j j
won by his own prowess; God bar
red his way until he learned the j
truth that he would possess it only
when God saw fit to give it to him.
In this wresting, Jacob felt his j
carnal weapons become lamed and J
useless. As the result of this
struggle, he left his natural self j
behind; and he rose from it an
altered man.
His lameness throughout life
waa to be a memento of the fact
that the power of God is every- j
thing and the power of man is
nothing.
Henceforth he was to be not j
Jacob the supplanter but Israel the j
prince, the one who wrestled with i
God, the one who persevered until
character was achieved.
The sun rose indeed upon him as !
he walked out a redeemed man in j
the brightness of a new day.
