Entered at the Post Office in Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class. BIBLE READING Above all the measures of war time and post-war planning -in industry, business, education, re ligion—the supreme need on the part of us all is for clearer moral insight, more unyielding devotion to truth, a more steadfast and farseeing spirit of brotherhood, a new determination to be more worthy of the great sacrifices that are being made in our be half. No one source of inspira tion is better able to provide for our need than the Bible. Through long generations and among countless people of many nations the Bible has done this for those who gave heed to its guidance. It has influenced the deep springs of our national life. We may well expect that if fresh attention be given to it now by the American people, there will flow into our national life purify ing and tonic streams of moral purpose and faith that will count tremendously in the remaining months of the war and the peril ous years that follow. ANESTHETIC The governor of Pennsylvania was presiding at a public dinner. At th« conclusion of the repast came the inevitable speechmaking, A digni fied and impressive gentleman, but withal a terrible bore, arose at the invitation of the chairman and pro ceeded to deliver an exceedingly dull and interminably long disser tation on everything in general and nothing in particular. The audience became impatient and inattentive. A hum of conversa- j lion began, which grew louder and louder. The governor felt it his duty to rap for order. As he hit the table with his gavel, the handle snapped and the heavy hardwood head flew through the air and landed with n resounding whack squarely on the high, bald forehead of a gentleman seated a few feet away. The guest, already slightly groggy, slumped in his chair. A horrified silence followed, but the speaker, blissfully unaware of the mishap, droned on. The injured gentleman revived slightly, lifted his eyes wearily, and murmured: “Hit me again; I can still hear him.” DISMAL FUTURE Johnny—Dad, will I look like you when I grow up?

Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 19 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRISTIANITY AND DEMOCRACY LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:13-17; Roman* 13:8-10; I Peter 2:13-17. GOLDEN TEXT—Bear ye one another’* burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.— Galatians 6:2. No form of government can claim divine authority, * for God’s Word docs not prescribe any special form of government. But (and this is most important) the principles upon which government should be estab lished are clearly given in God’s Word, and the form of rule which best fits into the teaching of the , Word necessarily calls for our inter est and support. We find in the Bible the declara tion that men are equal in the sight of God, that government is to be a ministry for God (see last week’s lesson), receiving its authori ty from Him and serving Him in exercising that power. Men are to be loyal to the government be cause they are loyal to God. Our lesson carries forward the teaching of last Sunday. It tells us that; The Christian Citizen Is— I. Subject to Both God and Coun try (Mark 12:13-17). , His devotion to God and the things of God is to be expected of the Chris tian. We almost said that it is taken ; for granted, and sometimes that is so true there is no reality in his life. But surely if he is a follower of Christ he must be devoted to Him and to His cause. But what about his country? That relation appears anew in the strik ing story of Christ and those who came to test Him, yes, to trap Him with a skillfully worded question. The Pharisees, who hated Rome for its domination of Palestine, and the Herodians, who supported Rome in its control of the land, were ene mies, but they joined forces to tempt Christ. They knew that if He said “Yes" to their question, the Jews would be angry, and if He said "No,” He could be condemned as a traitor to Rome. The trap was set, but it caught only the crafty hunters. Taking their own pocket money He declared that if they used Caesar’s money they ought to pay taxes to Caesar. The coin stood for an orderly govern ment, benefits of which they enjoyed and which they ought to support. No real Christian will evade his duty to his country whether it be to pay taxes, to take part intelligently in its government, to defend it, to I pray for it, or otherwise to show his I love. One of the blots on the Chris tian church is the lack of civic right eousness on the part of many of its members. 11. Devoted to Both Brother and Neighbor (Rom. 13:8-10). The Christian loves his brethren; i indeed that love is one of the tests by which we may know that a man is truly born again (I John 3:14). But that love reaches out beyond the circle of the brethren and touches every man who has need of it. The teachers of the Jewish law 1 had sought to circumscribe that word “neighbor,” but the Lord ef fectively dealt with that viewpoint in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10). All the commandments concern- j ing the vital matter of personal re lationship are summed up in the one j admonition, "Love thy neighbor as thyself" (v. 9). When love controls, there will be no social dishonesty, strife or ill-will. There will be no violence to the person or property of another, for "love worketh no ill to his neighbor.” This is the real "good neigh bor policy." Even between nations, we need more real love and less ef fort to impress one another by dip lomacy and good will expeditions. Let there be less political manipula tion and more loving, and we shall find our neighbor, both personal and national, responding in kind. Love draws out love from another. HI. Submissive to Both the Law of God and Man (I Pet. 2:13-17). "Fear God" (v. 17); that is, be eager that there is no failure on your part to please Him by obeying His law. That we expect of the Christian. But we expect more; he is to be a law-abiding citizen, obeying the laws of his country "for the Lord's sake” (v. 13). The believer may, by his godly faithfulness to his government, ef fectively witness against the ig norant criticism of foolish men who would have us think that being a Christian makes a man a weakling, or so other-worldly that he is use less in this world. Our freedom in Christ is not an excuse for careless or wicked liv ing. Not at all—just the opposite in fact. We "honor all men.” How can that be done? Only by the grace of God; but by His blessing we can do it. That makes for the real appreci ation of man, which is the very foun dation of our democracy. If it means anything, it must have as its foundation principle the supreme value of human life and the dignity of the sou! of man. 1 | LEGAL SALE OF LAND GEORGIA, Houston County.
