To the People
of this Community:
ARE YOU REALLY AT WAR?
What does being at war mean
to you? Less gasoline for your
auto? Less sugar in your cofTee?
Higher prices for your food and
clothes? Separation from your
M husband?
Efiswli Sure, it has
VrA/lfa I6'* H meant all those
thin « s -
t -r serious and
some really trivial for a period
whep your actual safety is at
slake.
But has the war meant BLOOD,
SWEAT AND TEARS to you? In
many instances YES. The first
stage of invasion has already
pushed our casualties over the
100,000 mark.
The gold stars which decorate
thousands of our homes today are
a challenge to the vast majority
of us to do our best in the Third
War Loan. No good American
wants to see one more gold star
added to the firmament of glory. !
We educate our youth for life,
not for death. If they die, they j
die so that wo might live. Every j
extra War Bond you buy today
will back the invasion so that the
war will be shortened and so that j
there will be less blood, sweat
I and tears for you and your j
friends.

No More Brass
On land or at sea our fighting men
do their many chores by the sound
of a bugle. All sorts of uncompli
mentary epithets are used to desig- ■
nate (he bugler, but nobody has yet 1
been able to provide a satisfactory
substitute for a bugle although re
cordings are used at some perma
nent bases.
If *
Aboard ship the men fall in at the
order of “Pipe muster." On land
the bugler sounds "Assembly!” But
no matter where the bugle is used
thousands must bo bought out of
the money we are investing in War
Bonds. Back the attack with an ex
tra $lOO Bond in the 3rd War Loan.

ABIDING VALUES FROM
ISRAEL’S HISTORY
! LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 11:13-25.
GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a
ration; but sin Is a reproach to any people.—
Proverbs 14:34.
What makes a nation great? God’s
dealings with Israel answer that
question. The history which we
have briefly touched upon in our
study of the first four books of the
Bible is reviewed in Deuteronomy.
Moses, realizing that the end was
at hand for him and that a new
generation was about to go into the
promised land, reviewed the history
of the people, restated their laws,
and renewed the appeal of God
for their loyal obedience. This rec
ord is found in the Book of Dcuteron
: omy, from which our lesson is taken.
We find here that the nation which
; is truly great—
I. Worships the True God (vv.
13-15).
There is a fundamental factor
which must underlie all real nation
al greatness—love of God. This has
an inseparable corollary—serving
i Him “with all your heart, and all
| your soul.”
Says the wise man of Proverbs
(14:34), “Righteousness exalteth a
nation; but sin is a reproach to any
; people.” We have well-nigh forgot
! ten that fact. We need to be remind-
I ed of it again in God’s word to
Israel.
What is the result? The blessing
of God upon the land, the giving of
abundant harvest, in fact, the open
-1 handed generosity of God.
11. Heeds God’s Warning (vv. 16,
I ID-
This is the negative side. God
I dealt with Israel through promises
: if they were faithful, and the threat
I of judgment if they forgot Him.
j One is as important as the other
[in the leading of a nation—and in
! the rearing of children. We, like
our heavenly Father, should faith
fully keep every promise; but we
should just os surely fulfill every
warning of coming judgment.
America has seen the handwriting
of God in warning concerning its
waywardness and sin. Will it heed
and avoid further judgment?
111. Honors God’s Word (vv. 18,
19).
Loving God and His Word is not
a matter for theological speculation
| or for sanctimonious discussion in
some dark cloister. Thank God the
Christian faith is at its best in the
ordinary affairs of life. It finds its
proper place in the tender relation
ship of parent and child. Its teach
ings are pure, delightful, simple
and entirely appropriate to any oc
casion, whether one sits or rises,
walks or lies down. God’s words
are the words to be laid up in the
heart and in the soul, to be taught
to our children, to be the constant
and normal subject of conversation.
IV. Testifies for God (vv. 20, 21).
Here again we have the home be
fore us. And it is, of course, the
home which makes the nation. If the
home speaks for God, the nation will
do so, inevitably and effectively.
We may not, as did the pious
Jew. fasten a little container bear
ing God’s Word on our doorpost, but
we may make the home itself and
the life of its inhabitants an effec
tive testimony for God before our
neighbors.
It is obvious that the home either
speaks for or against God. A pro
fession of faith in Him, an outward
reputation for adherence to religious
principles which does not vitally
I touch our dealings with one another
1 and with the community in which
we live—these clearly testify not for
God but against Him. On the other
hand, who can estimate the value
of a sweet and orderly Christian
home? Whether it be on a dusty
city street, or on a quiet country
lane, it is a light that cannot be hid.
V. Counts on God for Victory (vv.
22-25).
God promised that if Israel dili
gently kept His commandments,
loved Him and walked in His ways,
they would be a nation that would
overcome and dispossess their ene
mies, and prosper in every good
purpose.
God desires the nation which hon
ors His name to stand before the
other nations of the earth victorious
and prosperous.
The purpose of the Lord for Is
; rael was a far greater one than
they ever achieved, because they
fell into sin and drew back in un
belief. The limits of the land which
He proposed to give them, as stated
in verse 24, far exceed that which
they did possess in Palestine.
God’s plans are large plans. His
! promises to us, like those to Israel,
are stupendous. We need to learn
to take Him at His word.
“No man shall be able to stand
before you” (v. 25) was the promise
to Israel. "Ask what ye will”
(John 15:7) is the promise to us.
They failed because they did not be
lieve God. Will we fail for the same
reason?
