WAR PROPAGANDA
/ Never in our history has there
been such open propaganda for of
fensive action that
would make unavoid
able our prompt in-
volvement in war on
i the other side of the
ggjp world war indeed
i • lpjjj|| over a range at least
AM as wide as the vast
f > ; stretch from the
® tra^s °f Malacca to
the Straits of Dover,
It might be wider.
§ if we en^er s war
Gen. Johnson 0 n the side of Eng
land, whatever we call ourselves we
shall be her ally. We must fight
wherever defeat threatens, or vic
tory beckons.
It now seems quite probable that
the direction of the war has turned
from westward to southeastward.
New Theaters threaten in the Medi
terranean, the Balkans, perhaps
Persia, the Persian gulf and, even
unto India.
That is the British domain on
which “the sun never sets.” Propa
gandists now openly say that to pre
serve democracy on earth we must
preserve the British empire. Per
haps the millions of conquered and
exploited black people in Africa and
brown people in Asia and Malaysia
are their idea of democracy; but to
try to push this great, powerful and
peaceful nation into wars to protect
such fo'reign possessions is hysteria
that has broken all bonds of reason.
These war-minded men advance
measures which could take us into
such remote and sterile fields as
“defense of America.” They say
that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
are no longer barriers of defense,
but avenues of attack. Since Hitler
can’t cross twenty-odd miles of the
British channel to get at Britain with
a land army, it is a safe bet that he
doesn’t turn up his nose at the At
lantic ocean, even if these potential
architects of their country’s disaster
do so every day in their war danc
ing madness.
If we push our belated defense
preparations on land and seas as
rapidly as possible, the chance of
our involvement in bloody war, no
matter what may come, is too re
mote to consider.
The catastrophe of our involve
ment in war would not be merely
the bloody loss and danger to life
and limb. It would immediately ad
journ our free democracy for a w ar
dictatorship. It would permanently
adjourn our free economic system of
private ownership and liberty of en
terprise by so burdening it with ad
ditional debt and taxes that the gov
ernment would control all private
property and absorb all private in
come in the United States.

ST. LAWRENCE WATERWAY
The senate has twice refused to
ratify the St. Lawrence waterway.
It never was and never will be a
waterway project. It is a power
project. It was called a shipway
to fool the Middle West. Actually a
10,000 cubic foot diversion into the
Mississippi from Lake Michigan
which was bargained for with Can
ada in the boundary waters treaty for
the Chicago Drainage canal has al
ready been largely surrendered.
That greatly helped low water navi
gation in the Mississippi. Its sur
render hurt every Mississippi valley
state far more than the St. Law
rence can ever help them.
The plea was “Great Lakes navi
gation.” The facts were that inex
pensive works in the lake outlets
could have raised their levels 10
times the amount that diversion low
ered them. The motive was not
navigation but power—and, in that
particular case, private power at
Niagara Falls.

SHADES OF TEXAS GUINAN
“Hello, suckers!” So Texas
Guinan used to greet her guests
in her high-class honky-tonk, where
she sold them champagne which
they knew to be faked from apple
cider, at prices which they knew to
be multiplied. She fleeced them out
rageously in many other obvious
ways from the moment they gave
their wraps to the hat girl to the in
stant of their departure.
She was rolling them, but made
no effort to conceal that process of
her methods of doing it.
Texas Guinan was tops in invent
ing and putting over attractive
fakes. She gloried in being able to
do that even while laughing openly
at the weakness of their deception
and the incredible gullibility of the
suckers who swallowed them, paid
through the nose for them, and
clamored for more.

GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Some time before the effort to pro
tect ourselves at a cost of billions,
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf
Berle boldly told the Senate O’Ma
honey business-baiting committee
that increase in federal debt and
taxes would inevitably result in final
federal ownership and operation of
ah private property. The job was
ane-third complete before the “na
tional defense” spending began.
When the new “national defense”
taxes and restrictions are fully ap
plied it will be at least two-thirds.

, THE COVERED DISH CHURCH SUPPER
|£ (See Recipes Below)
As I sit here thinking about church
suppers, my mind wanders back
several years to the suppers I at
tended in my old home town. There
was always a feeling of congeniali
ty, of hospitality and fellowship. The
annual church supper was some
thing that couldn’t be, and wouldn’t
be, missed.
Many times it was a covered dish
supper. There was usually a great
variety of food. The menu was di
vided up into the main dish, the sal
ad, the bread and butter, and the
dessert. Each lady of the church
was made responsible for one item
of the menu; and she, no doubt, pre
pared her own favorite recipe.
Can you pass a table containing a
tempting assortment of foods with
out wanting at
least a taste of
everything? Can J
you decide wheth
er or not you yJr
want the cocoanut / f (■wi/i
cream pie which f
is heaped with
fluffy whipped
cream, or the
rich-looking chocolate cake with the
thick fudge icing, when you know
that you are entitled to only one des
sert? Of course not! Instead of hav
ing such a wide selection of food for
a covered dish supper, why not plan
a well-balanced menu so that every
one gets exactly the same?

IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean ol The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for November 3
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
JESUS DECLARES HIS MISSION
LESSON TEXT—Luke 4:16-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—For the Son of man Is
come to seek and to save that which was
lost.—Luke 10:10.
Ready for service! It’s an excit
ing and auspicious occasion when
the one who has prepared for a life
work is ready to set forth on his
mission. Joy and sorrow mingle;
encouragement and opposition both
appear and become his constant
companions. Recognizing God and
following His Word is of greatest
importance on such a day.
The mission upon which Jesus en
tered on the day of our lesson w T as
important far beyond any service of
man, for, while He set out upon an
earthly ministry of doing good, it
led to the cross where He wrought
out deliverance for the captives of
Satan. That day found Him back
with His own people in the syna
gogue in His home town.
I. Prophecy Fulfilled (vv. 16-22).
It is significant and appropriate
that Jesus' declaration of Himself as
the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1, 2 was
made in the synagogue on the Sab
bath day. He met with the people
in the house and at the time set
apart for God’s worship. He op
posed spiritual deadness, the misin
terpretation of the truth, the distor
tion of religious principles; but He
was not, as some would have us be
lieve, a religious free lance who
despised the established worship of
His people.
Having been prepared by the
years of silence, and more particu
larly by the baptism and the tempta
tion in the wilderness, He appeared
at the synagogue in Nazareth to de
clare Himself as the fulfillment of
prophecy.
Those who teach that Jesus was
only a young Jewish teacher with a
new philosophy of life have evidently
not read the Scriptures. He knew
Himself to be God’s Son come into
the world to bring the good news
of salvation by His own blood to
poor, sin-captive, blinded and
bruised humanity. He is the Sav
iour!
Look at Isaiah 61:1, 2 and note
that Jesus stopped reading before
the entj of the Sentence. “The day
of vengeance of our God” will come
when Christ returns. This is the
day of grace. Sinners are urged to
accept God’s love now, and thus to
escape the terrible day of judg
ment.
11. Faith Recognized (w. 23-27).
The Jews gloried in the fact that
they were the chosen people of God
and insisted it was through the ex
ercises of their formal worship that
God’s blessing must be received.
Now this one whom they erroneously
call “Joseph’s son” (v. 22) comes to
disturb them in their self-satisfac
tion. Seeing their rising resent
ment, He declares by striking words
and example that the benefits and
blessings of God come through faith
and not because of any racial rela
tionship.
The glory of Christianity is that
its grace and power are to be re
ceived by faith and are fully and
freely available to the simplest and
poorest of men. Race, position,
wealth, education, have nothing to
do with it. All too often they are
a hindrance, although they ought
rather to be a help.
Every reader of these notes, re
gardless of age, education, wealth
or any other condition or circum
s.arce of life, stands on an equal
footing before God and has a full
and unlimited opportunity to take
right now, by faith in Christ, all
that God has for him—salvation,
spiritual strength and usefulness,
joy, peace, and all the other bless
ing of God. Will you do it?
111. Truth Rejected (vv. 28-30).
Like a torch cast into gunpowder,
His words set off all the explosive
power of narrow bigotry, national
pride, jealousy, and they were all
“filled with wrath” (v. 28).
They rejected not only the truth of
His words, but they rejected Him
who is the Truth (John 14:6). Note
it carefully—in rejecting or neglect
ing His Word, you reject and neglect
Him.
Observe that until the time had
come for Him to be “delivered”
(Rom. 4:25) into the hands of wicked
men to be crucified they could not
touch Him. There is no more
majestic scene than that in verse 30
where the Son of God turned at the
brow of the hill and, walking
through the midst of the crowd,
went His way.
What have I to fear at the hands
of wicked and gainsaying men as
long as I follow this all-powerful Son
of God? He that is for us and in
us is greater than he (the devil) that
is in the world (I John 4:4). We
follow the victorious Christ, who
quietly but majestically walks
through the ranks of His helpless
enemies and goes “His way.” Will
you join us—today?
Be Temperate
Woe to them that rise up early
in the morning that they may follow
strong drink; that continue until
night, till wine inflame them.—lsa.
5:11.
