GRAMMAR LESSON
The officer candidate board at
Fort MacArthur, so the story goes,
when it examines a prospective of
ficer usually includes a question
on the parts of speech. One candi
date was sitting at rigid attention,
expecting the worst. “Private
Blank, do you know what a gerund
,is?” one of the examiners asked.
The candidate relaxed. “Yes, sir,"
he replied. “Then please explain it
in your own words,” the examiner
pursued. “Sir,” said the private,
“a gerund is the new M-I semi
automatic rifle."
SCENE CHANGE
“I say, old man, what is your idea
in leaving the seashore for the
mountains?”
“It’s my wife’s idea. She says the
people here have seen all her new
gowns."
Devotion
“Dearest Annabelle,” wrote Os
wald, who was hopelessly in love.
“I could swim the mighty ocean for
one glance from your dear eyes. I
would walk through a wall of flame
for one touch of your little hands. I
would leap the widest stream for a
word from your lovely lip. As al
ways, your Oswald.
“P.S.—l'll be over Saturday night
if it doesn't rain.”
Just Strayed
The little woman had worried the
grocer over trifles at the busiest
time of the day, and at last he had
managed to satisfy her.
“Do you know, Mr. Peek,” said
the woman, “when I came into your
shop I had a dreadful headache. I’ve
quite lost it now.”
"It isn’t lost,” said the distracted
grocer. *T’ve got it!"
Incorruptible
“I wish you’d overlook it this time,
officer,” pleaded the motorist who
had been pulled up for speeding.
“As a matter of fact, I was dashing
up to town to see my lawyer on
very urgent business.”
“That’s all right, sir,” was the
soothing reply. “Now you'll have
some more news for him.”
Bargain
An amiable old man was trying to
win the friendship of the small
daughter of the house.
“I'll give you a nickel for a kiss,”
he said.
"No, thank you,” she replied sweet
ly. “I can make more money tak
ing castor oil.”
Chatterbox
“Nobody wants to play bridge
with Mrs. Green. She talks all the
lime.”
“I suppose she’s quiet when she’s
dummy?”
“Quiet? She talks twice as much.”
Close Quarters
"Jones must live in a very small
flat.”
"How can you tell?”
“Why, haven't you noticed that
his dog wags his tail up and down
instead of sideways?”
Coincidence
“The new member claims to be
related to you and says he can prove
it.”
"The man’s a fool.”
"Yes, but that may be a coinci
dence.”
BUT SOFTLY
Wifey—You ought to be ashamed
of yourself, rolling in at this time
in the morning.
Hubby—-Nonsense, 1 crawled in on
my hands and knees.
Inconsistent
"He is more inconsistent than the
average man.”
"How is that?”
“He quit the aviation game be
cause it was so dangerous and the
next thing he did was to join a foot
ball eleven.”

THE VALUE OF THE CHURCH TO
THE SOCIAL ORDER
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 5:13-18; Mark
| 12:13-17; I Peter 2:13-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are the salt of the
1 earth . . . Ye are the light of the world.— I
Matthew 5:13, 14.
Social and political leaders have i
in the church the strongest influence
for good in all the world. One mar- j
vels that those who profess to seek |
the best for humanity, who try ev
ery kind of social experiment, who
labor with every expedient of man,
fail to see and use in full measure
the power of Christianity. Perhaps j
the explanation is that some of these
leaders are themselves unsaved 1
men, who do not understand spiritu- j
al things, and are not willing to give j
God the glory. Perhaps in the case
of others it is because of ignorance
or lack of contact with the church. I
Whatever the reason, the situa- j
tion should be remedied. America
could solve her problems, both so
cial and political, by a nation-wide
revival of true Christianity, with the
accompanying salvation of thou- |
sands of unconverted. If we can- i
not have that, let us not fail to j
have a revival in our own hearts,
our own churches, our neighbor
hoods or communities.
We find in our lesson that the
! church is
I. A Powerful Influence for Moral
Good (Matt. 5:13-16).
Salt in the midst of corruption,
light in a world of unbelievable
darkness—what striking and mean
ingful figures with which to describe
the Christian.
Believers are the "salt of the
earth” because they draw their sa
vor from God Himself. The Chris
tian church, by God’s own state
ment, is His own powerful antiseptic
which preserves the social order
from falling into the moral decay
which sometimes seems imminent.
It should, therefore, be honored and
encouraged by that society which
it serves.
Christians are the "light of the
world,” and it is the essential na
ture of light to shine. The darker
its surroundings the more marked
its brightness, and the more needed
its illumination. The good works of
Christians reflect the goodness of
God, and so they glorify His worthy
name. Brother, is your light burn
ing brightly in this wicked world?
11. A Stabilizing Element in So
ciety (Mark 12:13-17).
The world is in social ferment,
and our own country has its share
of "isms” and social theories call
ing men to follow, asking their loy
alty, making them Utopian promises
without foundation.
Alert and intelligent Americans
are concerned about these clamor
ous voices, many of which are quite
properly suspected of having pur
poses far from beneficial to our
American way of life, or to democ
racy itself. Yet they dare not op
pose them lest there be the cry of
denial of freedom of speech, etc.
What can we do to meet them?
Here is the answer: Preach Christ.
Bring men to a saving knowledge of
Him and to a godly way of living.
For the Christian is directed by
Christ Himself to “render unto Cae
sar the things that are Caesar’s”—
and they do it too, because they
have first rendered “to God the
things that are God’s.”
111. A Loyal Example of Good
Citizenship (I Pet. 2:13-17).
The highest measure of loyalty to
country is the Christian standard
here stated. In Romans 13:1-10 we
learn that all authority comes from
God and that the power of rulers
is to be recognized as His gift. That
means that true rulers will submit
to Him in every detail of their gov
ernment, seeking to know and to do
His will.
However, the Christian gives loyal
obedience to the “powers that be”
even though they may not recognize
the source of their power. This is
1 subject only to the limitation that
[ they may not demand that we do
those things that dishonor God’s
name. Since their only real power
to rule comes from Him, they have
no authority to tell anyone to do that
which is against His holy will. When
that happens, the Higher Authority
takes over and our loyalty must be
to Him, the King of kings. The
Christian then will be the best citi
zen, eager to do what king or coun
try may ask, in order thus to bear a
good testimony and to close the
mouth of foolish critics of the
church.
The history of our country and of
other lands reveals the names of
many illustrious Christian patriots,
and the roll of honor of those who
loved and served their country well
i ; in the humble and difficult places,
j would bear its hundreds of thou
| sands of names which are found also
1 on the roll of the church.
Christians, let us be earnest and
intelligent followers of Christ, whose
, 1 lives count for moral uprightness,
i “For God and Country” is the excel
lent motto of the American Legion,
’ but it should be more than that; it
, 1 should be the purpose of every
. Christian citizen.
