The next three months have

Department of Agriculture. To
celebrate the advent of the
market of peaches, apples and
sweet potatoes, June has been
designated as peach pie month,
July as apple pie month and Au
gust as sweet potato pie month.
ERA OF PROSPERITY
This country is headed for an
era of better business this year
regardless of what happens in
the European war, in the opinion
of Roger W. Babson, one of the
world’s foremost trade analysts,
who delivered addresses in At
lanta last week.
But after the war will come
economic revolution with changes
of bewildering magnitude, he
said. Mr. Babson predicted that’
the new era will be marked by
totally different standards of liy-l
mg, longer hours for work, aboli- j
tion of labor unions and com
plete revamping of public educa
tion, 1
One of the difficulties with
this age, he asserted, is that the]
unemployed “are taught cheers'
instead of chores.” Our schools
are not preparing youth for life]
jobs, he continued.
The famous economist declar
ed “Hitler may win complete
control over Western Europe and
still be far from domination of
the British Empire. Control of
the seas still must be regarded
as a vital factor in the conflict.
Termination of the war is un
likely befc re five years and it
may last for ten or fifteen
years.”
Mr. Babson said he “could not
assume that Hitler will win this
war,” that England will not give
up even though France is con
quered.
GEORGIA’S PAR I IN
DEFENSE PROGRAM
Georgia and the South are ex
pected to play an important roh
in Uncle Sam’s national defense
program. Already Georgia has
taken the spotlight in the war
against fifth column enemies
from within. Following his
proclamation requiring all aliem
to register with state authorities,
Governor Rivers announced tnai
home defense organizations art
being formed in every county in
Georgia. These home defence
units are being organized by Ad
jutant General Jack Stoddard,
of the National Guards, and Di
rector Lon Sullivan, of the Stau
Highway Patrol. The home
guard will not be a part of eithei
the National Guard or the Stale
Patrol, but will be an indepen
dent organization with leaders |
selected from each local commu
nity. One purprose of the home
guards, sanctioned by the state]
authorities, would be to prevent!
voluntary vigilantes taking the
law in their own hands, the Gov
ernor explained.
Meanwhile, the War and Na
ay Departments in Washington l
are putting millions of dollars'
into development of strategic 1
Southerndefense positions against
possible invasion, and millions]
more are expected to be forth-]
coming under an expanded nat
ional defense program. Geo-1
graphically important as a step-]
ping off base for aerial defense;
of our outlying possessions ini
the Atlantic and the Panama'
Canal; climatically favored for!
the year-round training of troops; I
industrially blessed by dependa
ble, native-born workers the
South already is assigned a 1
highly important role in the nat
ional defense program. Then,
too. Georgians are expected to do
their part in the United States’
greatest defense program by
paying extra taxes for the privi
lege of driving automobiles,
smoking cigarettes and drinking
liquor. Geoigia’s part in pay
ing for a big Army, Navy and
Air Force is expected to run
about $6,000,000 per year in ex
tra taxes.

lIAGGAI URGES THE BUILDING
OF GOD’S HOUSE
LESSON TEXT—IIsgRBI 1:2-11.
GOLDEN TEXT—And let ub consider one
1 snother to provoke unto love and to good
works; not forsaking the assembling of our-
I selves together, as the manner of some is.
I —Hebrews 10:24, 28.
Religious work—or, more correct
ly stated, Christian work—is b dif
ficult and discouraging task, except
for the grace and blessing of God.
Not only does the Christian worker
have to struggle against that arch
enemy of God and of the souls of
men, Satan himself, but he must
overcome the deadly indifference
and carelessness of men both out
side and inside the Church. Then,
as if that were not enough, he finds
another enemy, the discouragement
of his own heart.
Haggai ministered to the Jews
who had returned from captivity
and who had begun to rebuild the
temple. Opposition had developed
before they had made more than a
beginning, and they at once gave
up and turned their interest to their
own affairs and the building of their
own homes. God was displeased by
this sinfulness on their part, and
brought judgment upon them
through a prolonged drouth. Haggai
was called to awaken their con
science and to encourage them to
| action.
I. Consider Tour Ways (vv. 2-6.
I 9-11).
| It was not necessary for the
prophet to work up any eloquent
plea to stir the conscience of the
j people. He had only to point to.
their own ways. They were thus
i faced with three reproving facts.
, 1. Indifference (v. 2). They were
negligent and indifferent, saying the
time had not come to build. The
I same kind of folk today are very
sure that the congregation simply
cannot afford to keep up preaching
services, or heat and light the
church for Sunday School.
2. Selfishness (v. 4). They built
for themselves ceiled houses and
lived in luxury, while God’s house
lay waste. One is reminded of our
own communities, which have
money for every conceivable com
fort and convenience, but only a few
niggardly pennies for God's work.
3. Loss (vv. 6, 9-11). Being stingy
toward God is n losing business. He
has only to withhold His blessing
and we will find ourselves destitute.
That is true in the physical realm
and is even'more true in the spir
itual life. Withholding from God
will always result in loss (see Prov.
11:24).
11. “Build the House” (v. 8).
God’s work is constructive. He
may have to destroy and tear down,
but He only takes away the old and
undesirable that the now and worthy
may be built. Three words stand
out here.
1. “Go.” The Lord wants His
people to get into action. Haggai
was interested in getting things go
ing. Let us follow his example.
2. “Bring.” We are not to come
to the Lord’s service empty hand
ed. Only as He blesses do we have
anything to bring, but often we fail
to bring even that which He has
, supplied.
3. “Build.” God’s work is com
mitted to us. We are to be His
builders.
HI. “The People Obeyed’’ (v. 12).
“Behold, to obey is better than
sacrifice, and to hearken than the
fat of rams” (I Sam. 15:22). God
is looking for obedient people, and
is ready to bless and use them. The
response to Haggai’s message came
1 from
1. The Governor. One wonders
what progress America would make
back to God if its rulers were to
lead us in obedience to His com
mands and in seeking His face in
repentance and prayer. Thank God
for every truly spiritually minded
national leader, and pray that oth
ers may yield themselves to the con
l trol of the Lord. Then came
| 2. The High Priest. All 100 often
religious leaders have actually hin
dered the work of God—and what a
I hindrance they can be! We read
j that in Haggai’s time the high priest
! obeyed. Christian leaders, are we
j too going before our people in un-
I questioning obedience to God? If
j not, why should we not begin now?
i With such leadership, we are not
! surprised to hear that
j 3. Tiie People Also Obeyed and
| Feared God. Many capable Chris
tian workers believe that the youth
of America of our day, far from
being worse than their fathers, are
| actually seeking for real spiritual
j leadership.
False Christs Shall Rise
And then, if any man shall say
to you, Lo, here is Cnrist; or 10, he
is there, believe him not. For false
Christs, and false prophets shall
rise, and shall shew signs and won
ders, to seduce, if it were possible,
1 even the elect.—Mark 13: 21, 22.
Speaking the Truth
I had rather suffer lor speaking
the truth, than that the truth should
| suffer for the want of my speakmg.
