For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gos pel of his Son, that without ceas ing 1 make mention of you al ways in my prayers. Romans 1:9. O In view of the dwindling gaso line supply in this country thi long talked of motor that will get 100 miles to the gallon be comes more and more a most de sirable objective. 0 The story is told of an akward recruit in a southern army cami who when his captain ask him it angry and impatient tones how long he had been in the army replied drearily, “All day, sir.” Money invested in War Bond today will do double duty. It will buy planes anti guns and tanks for the men at the fron,*j today, and tomorrow' it will bin ■ fur the purchaser a new home, a new piece of household equip ment, a new car, an education for a son or daughter, or securi ty for old age. Cash put into war bonds today will do double duty. 0 How many of us ever heard of Saipan before the American forc es in the South Pacific brought it to the attention of the world by their attack upon it and occupa tion of it? The same thing is true of many of the places in the South Pacific that few of us have heard of since our grade school geography days. Saipan and Tarawa, and the Giloerts and the Marshalls and the Marianas! along with Bataan are going to have new meaning to this gen eration. On July 7, China entered the eighth year of its battle against the Jap aggressor. Being wholly unprepared for war China was in no shape to offer effective resis tance against a well prepared enemy. In seven years she has lost her seven largest cities and between SO and 90 percent of her rail lines. In spite of the un equal fight China is talking hope fully of the day when toe war shall be over and China can be gin to build back again. “After the war,” Dr, Sun i'at-sen, not ed Chinese teacher •-md states man says, “China will have to, launch a gigantic program of re- | construction which will absorb all the energies of her people for generations to come.” For a na tion that has been ground for seven years under the beel of the most ruthless oppressor the modern world has seen, this atti tude and hope reveals a spirit of optimism and courage that is most inspiring. 0 What the country needs is a political party platform written in language that the common man and woman can understand. The big task of those who get up party platforms seems to he not to write a platform that can be understood, so much as to write a platform that will mean every thing to everybody, that wifi permit a warping and twisting to meet any opinion. A mo-tv platform is supposed to define the issues upon which a r paign will be waged, but when the platform is fuzzy and ob scure and permits a nuiuoer ... interpretations it is only natural that there shall he arguinw an bickering and uncertainity in the campaign that follows \V mi the country needs is party plat forms that say wnat tuey . and mean what they say. o Producing Cellulose German capitalists are showing interest in producing cellulose from cornstalks. -- ■ ! u XL " IMPROVED i UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for August 6 Lesson subjects and Scripture text* *e lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. POWER THROUGH SELF-DISCI PLINE (TEMPERANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Proverbs 1:7-10; Jere miah 35:5-10; I Corinthians 9:24-27; X Thes salonlans 5:22. GOLDEN TEXT—And every man that strlveth for the mastery Is temperate In all things.—l Corinthians 8;25. Discipline that word doesn’t sound exactly attractive, does it? It makes us think of punishment for : wrongdoing, when in reality it is a ! very helpful word which means ' teaching. Disciples learn, and thus are disciplined, so that life becomes safer, simpler, and more efficient. When the Morro Castle caught fire, there was time for everyone to escape, but 134 out of the 500 on board perished because they fought each other. When the President Coolidge sank in the South Seas 4,500 soldiers escaped alive. What made the difference? Discipline, tl*.at’s all, but it was enough. There are many kinds of disci pline, and all have their important place in preparing men to live well ordered and useful lives. The dis ciplined life has power to meet trials and temptations. We find in our les son three kinds of discipline: I. Home Discipline (Prov. 1:7-10). The training received by the child early in life from its parents is of the utmost importance in forming character. Children should learn the true standards of life, and be held to obedience to them if they are later to walk in the right way. It is here that they most effec tively learn the danger of the use of intoxicants and the importance of keeping their bodies clean and W strong for the service of God and country. I Some parents (possibly misled by attractive, but false theories of edu cation) think that the correction or punishment of a child is not to be permitted. They assume that they are being kind to a child by not limiting his development, or trying to direct it. These are the people who "curse their children with kind ness,” which is in fact the greatest of unkindness. Only a fool (v. 7) will despise the instruction of his parents, and only a fool of a parent will fail to give that training which is like “an orna ment of grace” (v. 9) in the life of the young man or woman. But the discipline of the home needs the support of 11. Social Discipline (Jer. 35:5-10). The social order, which concerns our relation to our fellow men. dis | ciplines each of us. It makes many and what sometimes seem burden some demands of us in order that we, as well as those around us, may have the privilege of living ordered and useful lives. Wise is the man or woman who draws from his fellowship with oth ers that helpful training which gives him stability and grace. The Rechabites had made a vow that they would not drink intoxi cants, and as a tribe they stood by that vow even when tested by Jere miah. (Note that we say tested, not tempted. He knew they would stand.) Fine family traditions have great value in guiding and controlling young people. We should, like the good man Jonadab (v. 6), establish a tradition of abstinence from in toxicants which will make all of our descendants say, "No one in our I family ever drinks." The training of home and of I society has one great goal and that is 111. Self-Discipline (I Cor. 9:24-27; I Thess. 5:22). In the life of every one of us there should be that determined purpose that life shall not be lived in care less disorder, or be permitted to run out at loose ends. We are all running a race (v. 24), and it is for us so to run that we may achieve success. We cannot run with uncertainty (v. 26), we must know where we are going. We are fighting a fight, and at times it is a desperate, life-and death struggle. We must not beat the air (v. 26), but strike home the telling blows which will bring vic tory over our enemies, the world, the flesh, and the devil. To do this calls for training and self-discipline. It means bringing the body and its demands into sub jection, The man who runs in a race does not destroy his chances for victory by using intoxicants, or other detrimental things. Surely we who run the race for Christ must be even more determined that self shall be disciplined for God’s glory. The standard for the conduct of j the Christian is higher than is com monly supposed, for he withdraws himself from "every form of evil." The disciplined believer knows that sin is sin—that what looks com paratively innocent often w'ears a false face covering real wickedness, or it is the first step on a downward path. To start on that way is to in vite disaster. A striking example of i this is the social drink—the fashion able cocktail—the friendly glass. Abstain is the word—"abstain from every form of evil.” HE DIDN’T SAT 'NO* May—Did you ask father for his I permission to marry me? George—Yes, dear. May—What did father say, yes or no?
