Some folks worry so easily

In spite of the efforts of the 1
experts to even things up, the I
small business man is hardest
hit by the present income tax.
o_.
Man is ordinarily created with
five senses, touch, taste, sight,
smell and hearing. Two more
that may be added to the list are
horse and common.
Obviously the time to pay off
debts is during periods of infla
tion and high prices and the
time to create debts is when
money has a high purchasing
power. Strangely enough hu
manity has never learned to do
this. Most debts are created in
times of easy money and paid off
when money is hard to get.
If every group demanding
special legislation and special
benefits would stop to think what
effect the granting of such spe
cial favors would have upon
those who are not permitted to
share them, there would be less
class legislation demanded. The
difficulty lies in the fact that
most of such legislation is based
on selfishness and has no regard
for the welfare of anyone else.

Whether or not the Allies do-1
cide upon an international peace |
force to preserve the future:
peace of the world, we believe;
there should be a permanent or
ganization to be known as a Con
gress of Nations for the preser
vation of peace and the discus- j
sion of other matters of Allied!
interest. These representatives!
should meet regularly and dis- i
cuss conditions and situations in
all parts of the world unit might)
have a bearing upon th • future i
peace of the world. In this way |
any developments on the part of
any nation that might have a
bearing upon the peace could be 1
brought out in the open and dis- 1
cussed in Congress. Had such
an organization been in opera
tion preceding this war, steps
might have been taken to
head off Germany and Japan in
their war program before it
reached the point where these
two countries felt they were
ready to whip the world and
started out to do it. Without
some organization with the pow
er to check up on the world con
ditions at any time we are going
to be in danger of lapsing into
the same indifference that per
mitted the ground work to be
• laid for the present war while
the world struggled with the re
construction problems made nec
essary by World War I. We be
lieve that if we are to enjoy
world peace it will not come by
accident. It will come because
of deliberate design and eternal
vigilance. The World Congress
might be made the watchman on
the tower.
There is much satisfaction in
work well-done; praise is sweet;
but there can be no happiness
equal to the joy of finding a
heart that understands —Victor

RELIGION IN THE LIFE
OF A NATION
LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 7:17-29.
GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord shall be unt»
thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy
glory. Isaiah 60:19.
“Righteousness exalteth a nation’'
(Prov. 14:34). True religion is vital
to the life of a nation and is th#
I only foundation for national sta
bility and growth, David, the man
| after God’s own heart, knew this,
I and was not content that the ark of
I God, the center of the nation’s wor
ship, should, be without a suitable
house. He was not one to be con
tent with a fine palace for his own
comfort while the ark of God had a
temporary abiding place within
curtained walls (v. 2).
Although the prophet Nathan en
couraged him in his plan (v. 3),
the Lord revealed to the prophet
that David was not to build His
house (see I Chron. 22:8, 9), but to
prepare the materials so that his
son Solomon could do it. David’s
response to that message reveals the
! true religious attitude of a king and
I a people who fear and worship God.
j They were ready to—
| I. Receive God’s Grace (vv. 18-
j 22).
The great Davidic covenant,
which is yet to have its final ful-
I fillment in David’s greater son, our j
Lord Jesus, was made with him at j
this time. He was promised that the 1
throne of his kingdom was to be {
established forever (vv. 13-15), a
prophecy to be fulfilled in Christ.
But there was also the great |
promise of blessing upon David’s !
son Solomon, and the reminder of j
God’s grace upon David, the one j
brought up from the sheepcote to be I
king (v. 8).
In humility of heart David re- |
ccived this grace and thanked God
for it. Note such expressions as
“Who am I?” “What is my house?”
“What can David say more?” and
“For thy word’s sake thou hast done
these great things.” David knew
and admitted his unworth'iness; he
realized that this was indeed un
merited favor from God, but he ac
cepted it as God’s gift.
11. Recognize God’s Power (vv.
23, 24).
Israel had seen the mighty hand
of God at work on their behalf re
peatedly, since the day God had
brought them forth out of Egypt.
God had literally redeemed them for
Himself, a purchased possession, I
protected by His limitless power.
That redemption was not only na
tional but spiritual—they were set
I free from the gods of Egypt (v. 23)
and confirmed to the Lord (v. 24).
It is a great and noble thing when
a nation recalls its past and thanks
| God for His powerful hand upon its
destiny. It has been said that a na
tion which does not remember its
past will not have a future worth
remembering; and when it remem
bers, let it recognize God in its his
tory. He is the God of the nations
as well as of individuals.
111. Rest in God’s Promise (vv.
25-27).
“Do as thou hast said.” That is a
j perfect prayer for any nation. Let
the will of God be done, and all will
j be well—now and in the future.
There is nothing commendable
about doubting God’s promise or
limiting Him in fulfilling it. It glori
! ties God and magnifies His name to
! take Him at His word and to confi
dently expect Him to fully meet
His promise. To do anything else is
to reflect on His power and His
integrity.
It was the prayer of David that
the Lord's name might be magni
fied forever in the keeping of the
covenant which He had made with
him. That squarely put all of the
authority and dependability of God
behind the keeping of the promise.
David found peace of heart there. I
May not we do likewise, resting on I
the promises of God?
IV. Rejoice in God's Blessing
(vv. 28. 29).
David praised God for the as
surance that His words were true,
and claimed the promise of a
blessing upon his house, “That it
may continue forever before thee.”
He evidently saw beyond the im
mediate fulfillment of the promise
in Solnmon to the coming of Christ
(cf. vv. 18, 19; Rom. 4:5-8). And
his heart leaped for joy at the un- i
speakable honor which had thus
come to him.
This is substantiated by the trans
lation of verse 19 by the Hebrew
scholar Adam Clarke; “O Lord God,
thou hast spoken of thy servant’s
house for a great while to come, and
hast regarded me in the arrange
ment about the MAN that is to be
from above, O God Jehovah.”
Little wonder, then, that David
raised his voice and heart in praise
and worship. His “adoration and
thanksgiving at the revelation of
this great truth is beautiful. Its |
humility, faith, and gratitude reach
a sublimity unequalled since
Moses” (James M. Gray).

It is easy for the chisler to
take advantage of the rationing
program. The reason is because
loyal observance of the ration
program depends upon the indi
vidual conscience. There is no
big police force or gestapo ready
to pounce upon the violator.
Uncle Sam depends upon the in
dividual patriotism of his citi
jzens for the enforcement of the
ration program. If an individual
has no patriotic inclinations he
isn’t going to make much effort
to obey the rationing rules. He
is going to chisel whenever he
gets a chance.
