Our International Sunday
School lesson for last Sunday
somehow made us stop, look
and listen! Justice established
in Judah. Did you compare
that period of history with our
own, of today? Did not your mind
reflect upon the thousands of
Churches throughout the nation
built by our Christian ancestors
who founded this country as a
Christian Nation? Could you
help but think of the empty pews
within our churches today? Did
you not see in the habits of the
people of the United States today
a country forgetting the Church;
forgetting the sacredness of the
home; forgetting to “honor your
parents”; forgetting to be hon
est; forgetting that command
ment which says “Thou shalt
not steal;” “Thou shalt not kill;”
Forgetting the sanctity of the
home where a husband is to be
true to his wife, and a wife to
her husband; Where the young
people follow in the footsteps
of the parents, which is only
natural? Where they think noth
ing of the sacred body, the tem
ple He gave us to live in; Where
some go topless, and the people
of one State already has approved
this; where Nudist Colonies are
popping up over the country?
Where brother is turning against
brother? Where the husband
thinks nothing of his life outside
the home, which makes a broken
home? Where the wife breaks
the home up in the same man
ner? Then where the young teen
ager is in trouble? Where par
ents have given their all to rear
them right, it seems, and they
think nothing of going right on to
school and everybody knowing
they are going to have to go to
the hospital to bring birth to a
little Innocent baby who did not
ask to come into this world in
this manner of shame. Can you
expect more of that baby when
it grows up?
The sanctity of the home is
about in the same condition. . .
evil growing like a fast growing
vine, to entwine the whole nation
into the horrors of that yester
year, when the nationhadbecome
so corrupt that they even used
the Churches for shame. Yes,
we are going to let the world
become so corrupt that we will
be wiped off the face of it.
God will stand just so much!
Today we are reading of all
the people swapping, trading pol
itically. We have many men
coming out for Governor of our
fair State. Many for Lieut.
Governor. Let’s not vote for the
man who was a “friend of a good
friend of mine”; of my father’s
or mother’s family, or, what have
you in mind that he might do
individually for you?” Let’s
pray that the men who win the
race this year. . .will be one
God can use to the best advantage
to bring out fair State back to
Christian living. Who am I to
plead for just this? Just one liv
ing within this State who has
tried to keep the Commandments
of God all our life. Just one who
longs to see our people in God’s
house (because they want to be
there, and are seeking His will
for their lives) every Sunday,
instead of racing on the high
ways, on the lakes, and to far
more places than we Can name.
This is wonderful recreation on
the vacation grounds, but there’s
Saturday for the Working man
. . . and there is Sunday for
Worship.
■ . .He loves us as we are,
where we are. . .So let’s see
if we can’t fill all the Churches
in the County every Sunday! Oh,
we may feel bad. . .but have we
not used the excuse that staying
at home helps our “ailments”.
There is nothing so soothing to
the nerves; nothing so relaxing,
nothing so spirit lifting; nothing
so heartwarming, nothing so
healing as God’s word in the

(up 12 per cent) patrolling 3,601,
780 miles (up a whopping 45 per
