This community should begin
to think actively of improvement
projects that may be put into ac
tion when peace comes to take
care of those who will return to
the home town and who will
need employment until condi
tions level out and the country
settles back to normal. No doubt
there are many improvements
that might be made. The prob
lem is to select the most needed
lirst. There is so much that
needs to be done it should not be
necessary for this or any other
community to resort to “made
work’’to keep its citizens em
ployed. The problem is one of
wise selection of projects rather
than the creation of unnecessary
tasks.

The feeling exists in the minds
of too many people that when a
financial burden is assumed by
federal aid that everyone is re
lieved and no one has to pay.
Straight thinking compels one to
realize that a debt is a debt
whether it is owed by an indi
vidual or the federal govern
ment and that all debts are paid
from the same source the labor
and the savings of the individ
uals, If this fact could be held
actively in mind by everyone it
would result in more straight
thinking and fewer schemes to
raid the federal treasury.

Now is the time to worry if
that coal bin isn’t filled for
winter. Federal authorities say
there will be 38 million tons les.--
coal mined this year than was
mined last year. The fuel oil
supply is also going to be less
than it was last year. All signs
point to a cold winter for the un
prepared.

The report is that to date near
ly 1(1,000 planes have been de
livered by this country to Rus
sia. Most of these have been
flown across from Canada and
Alaska. There is no discountin'?
the value of this aid to Stalin’s
armies. Without dou »i it is the
thing that has thrown the bal
ance of power in favor of the
Russian armies.

Another reminder regarding
Christmas packages to be ship
ped to men in foreign service.
Discover lirst what it is that men
in the particular field to which
your present is to be sent want,
next pack it securely. Mail sent
long distances under present con
ditions takes a terrible punish
ment. Make the package about
shoe box size but don’t try ti
send anything in a shoe box. It
won’t get out of tiie country be
fore it is all apart and its con
tents scattered to the four winds.
Wrap securely, address clearly
and corectly and mail early.

We believe the proposal for i
year’s military training for young
men between high school an d
college or between high school
and a job has many things to
recommend it. In addition to
the fact that it will provide pre
liminary training to young men
in the event tins country should
in the future becon e engaged in
another war the retire the benefits
that will accrue to the young
men themselves. A year’s train
ing m the army provides many
physical benefits. It develops
coordination of mind and muscle,
awakens latent talents and in
terests and gives a splendid
training in discipline that is val
uable throughout life.

Of The Moody Bible Inetltute of Chicago,
Released by Western Newspaper Unton.
Lesson for September 17

Council of Religious Education; used by

TIIE KINGDOM STRONGLY
ESTABLISHED
LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 2:4-7; 5:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT—They that trust In the
Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot
be moved, but abldeth forever.—Psalm 125:1.
Position and power are important
j to a king, but of even greater im
, i portance is the winning of the
j hearts of his people. Only as he has
them with him can he build a great
I nation.
David was the Lord’s anointed,
j The kingdom was his. But God ex-
I pected him to make the necessary
effort and use his own abilities to
bring it into a place of honor and
usefulness. God gives us all we
have, but He does not shower it
down on us; we must go out and
possess it.
Note in the three verses that pre
cede our lesson (vv. 1-3) that David
moved forward only after prayer
and divine guidance. Little wonder
that he succeeded.
I. The Southern Tribes Declare
Their Loyalty (2:4).
The nation was divided into two
parts, Judah in the south and Israel
in the north. To bring them together
again called for consummate skill.
David had it.
When Saul had died, David
showed his respect and genuine
loyalty to the king by his actions
i and by his song of lament which
! we find in II Samuel 1. Then by
the Lord’s leading he went to
Hebron, the national capital of
Judah, and there awaited the will of I
the people.
Their declaration for David was
not long in coming. They knew and
j respected him. He had shown him
-1 self to be their friend (I Sam. 30:26)
and now they made him king. It
was the first step and a long one
in the right direction.
11. The King Makes Friends by
Being Friendly (2:5-7).
The men of Jabesh-gilead, hear
ing that the Philistines had killed
Saul, went for his body and gave
it suitable burial. This gave David
occasion to show his fine spirit
of appreciation, which naturally
warmed the hearts of all those who
had loved and followed Saul. It was
excellent strategy, but at the same
time it was the natural expression
of a kind heart.
He that would have friends must
show himself friendly (Prov. 18:24).
And why not? The friendly and
open-hearted kindness of some
Christians does more to win others
to Christ than the brilliant dis
j courses of some cold, exclusive
Christian worker. Most of the Lord’s
work is done by ordinary people
with warm hearts. Is there any
reason why we cannot all be win
some and attractive in Christ?
HI. The Northern Tribes Recog
nize Their King (5:1-5).
A period of seven years elapsed
before this took place. The house of
Saul was not willing to yield its
supposed rights to the throne, and
there was fighting and struggle. In
it all David showed himself to be
upright and considerate.
There is value in gradual develop
ment and in the struggle for the
right. Had David found immediate
success one wonders whether he
would have gained the strength he I
needed foi the future.
Then came the day when Israel, j
tiie tribes of the north country, of
their own accord chose to put them
selves under David. Note that it
was because of their regard for him
(vv. 1,2) that they came to him
(v. 3). That was great gain.
A united people! How important
that is in the affairs of the nations. J
Nothing is more disturbing or a
greater hindrance than internal fric
tion. We ought to deal quickly and
decisively with any group or force
in the life of our nation which is |
clearly divisive or disloyal.
Think, then, how important it is i
that God’s people in the Christian !
Church stand together in undivided !
loyalty to Christ, our King, and in
loving devotion to one another.
IV. The King Established a Na
tional Capital (5:6-10).
Jerusalem, which was to be the
"city of David,” end which figures
i so prominently not only in history
| but in prophecy, had to be wrested
from the hands of the heathen
Jebusites, and be established as the
sacred city and the capital of the
Jewish nation.
Note that the kind and considerate
king was not a weakling. He knew
how to fight and to win. Verse 8 is
difficult to Interpret, but evidently
does not mean that David was
cruel. The Jebusites taunted him by
saying that their blind and cripples
j could hold the wall against David’s
men. Then they doubtless put their
best soldiers on the wall, and David
said to his men, “Let us take these
cripples,"
We see in verses 9 and 10 that
David was not only a fighter, but
also a builder. He began then the
development of Jerusalem, the 1
great city of which we are yet to
wondrous things.
