A grateful Nation has girded it
self for the Mighty Seventh War
Loan for 14 billions of dollars, half
of which has been assigned as the
individual sales quota. According to
reports from state chairmen reach
ing Ted R. Gamble, national di
rector of the War Finance Division
'of the Treasury in Washington, the
Nation is ready for the huge task.
Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about
< results. Ho said “We’re prepared to
do the best job in the 7th War
Ia Jan.” Mr. Gamble said that, “not
only is there more money available
■than over before _____ .... _

Morgenthau said
seven billions of MORGENTHAU
dollars has been
assigned as the quota for individual
investors ai.d that the major
emphasis throughout the drive will
be placed on the quota for individ
uals, The individual quota is the
highest established in any of the
previous drives, the secretary said.
_ The E Bond quota alone is 4 bil
lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near
ly as much in the one drive as was
asked in the first two drives of last
year which were held up to this
time. The two drives of this year,
; therefore, will seek nearly as much
as was sought in the three drives
of 1944.
The Secretary stated that there is
every evidence that Federal ex
penditures are going to remain at
a high level for some time to come,
and that the Seventh War Loan pro
gram was designed to obtain maxi
mum funds necessary to prosecute
tlie War from non-bank investors.
The securities, which will be sold
under the direction of the State War
Finance Committees, are as follows:
Scries E, F and G Savings Bonds,
Series C Savings Notes, 2 1 i>' ;’ Bonds,
2 X '*% Bonds. 1> 2 % Bonds, Cer
tificates of Indebtedness. The lh?i>
Bonds will not bo offered in the
Drive to corporations.
The Drive for individuals will ex
tend from May 14 to June 30. How
ever, an intensification of activities
in the sale of Scries E bonds began
April 9, when millions of persons on
payroll savings plans throughout
the country were asked to enlarge
their participation as a part of the
Seventh War Loan. All Series E,
F and G Savings Bonds and Series
C Savings Notes processed through
the Federal Reserve Banks between
April 9 and July 7 will be credited
to the Drive.
During the final phase of the Drive
which will cover the period from
June 18 through June 30, subscrip
tions will be received from all other
non-bank investors for the 2V«% and
marketable bonds and the cer
tificates of indebtedness.

THE DEFEAT OF THE
SOUTHERN KINGDOM
LESSON TEXT—Jeremiah 18:1-10, 15a, 17a.
GOLDEN TEXT—Come, and let us re
( turn unto the Lord.—Hosea 6:1.
History repeats itself. Men never
seem to learn from the experiences
. of others, whether they be personal
or national. Judah, the southern
part of the divided kingdom, saw the
downward path of Israel and its ul
timate captivity. The same process
went on in Judah, although hindered
now and then by good kings who
brought about a partial return to
God.
Ultimately the day came when
Jerusalem was destroyed by
Nebuchadnezzar’s troops and the
people carried off to their long years
of captivity in Babylon.
Jeremiah ministered as God’s
prophet during Judah’s declining
years, bringing them God’s word of
judgment for their sins and urging
them to submit. His voice was un
heeded and for his faithfulness he
received only their hatred and per
secution. God gave him the strength
and grace to be true in a very diffi
cult mission.
Our lesson for today tells how God
in a graphic object lesson taught the
prophet and the people that they
were in the hands of a sympathetic
but at the same time a sovereign
God.
I. The Potter and His Work (vv.
1-4).
The maker of pottery took the
lump of clay, placed it on his wheel,
and with his hand formed it into
the kind of vessel he wanted. If it
j became misshapen or showed a de
fect, he could moisten and remold
I the clay into another vessel as it
suited him. The clay was in his
hand to meet his purpose and his
will.
Dr. G. Campbell Morgan fittingly
suggests that there are three things
to be borne in mind here: a prin
ciple, a purpose, and a person. And
ns we apply the truth to ourselves as
- God’s children, we spell the Per
son of the Potter with a capital “P,”
for He is none other than God Him
self.
The principle is that God is abso
lutely sovereign, that He does as He
wills for His own glory. Until we
recognize that principle, “life will be
1 | a failure. If, however, I have dis
| covered this principle alone, then my
• j soul will be filled with terror. I
( must also see the purpose.”
1 |
; | The purpose is the working out of I
, i His will for each of us. He knows
us, and He has a plan for our lives,
and is able to make that plan come
i to pass if we periryt Him to do so.
But. ns Dr. Morgan says, “if I
know principle and purpose only, 1
| shall yet tremble and wonder, and
be filled with a haunting foreboding.”
But as “I press through the principle
and beyond the purpose and discov
er the Person of the Potter, then the
purpose will flame with light, and
j the principle that appears so hard
1 and severe will become the sweetest
and tenderost thing in my life.”
God spoke to Jeremiah through the
scene in the potter’s house, and He
also wants to talk to our hearts.
11. God and Judah (vv. 5-10, 15a,
17a).
The lesson is plain. God had for
His people a high and glorious, pur
pose. He wanted to bless them and
use them for His glory. But they
were a sinful and rebellious people,
stiff-necked and stubborn in their un
belief, and the vessel of honor which
God was trying to form was marred
in His hand.
God did not act in anger or in
disregard of their rights. He was
forced to bring judgment upon them
because of their own sin. That sin
is stated in verse 15—they had for
gotten God.
One trembles as he applies that
test of God’s requirement for bless
! ing upon a nation to our own land,
j There is a haunting fear that while
there are some who truly worship
I God, and a larger number who pro
j fess to worship Him, a great host of
| the people of America have forgot-
I ten God.
Does our nation remember Him
j and seek His counsel and blessing
! in its national affairs? Do we in
i quire after the ways of righteous
| ness? Are we eager for spiritual
revival and increasing grace even
| within the church?
Judah was to be scattered “as
with an east wind”—and who does
not know that it came to pass. Where
arc they today?
But even in the midst of judgment
the Lord speaks of mercy. ThqLord
who will “pluck up, break down and
destroy” (v. 7) the people who forget
Him, is eager and ready “to build
and to plant” the nation when it
turns to Him.
The sure promise of God’s future
blessing upon a repentant Israel and
Judah is written large in the mes
sages of all the prophets.
The same God, eternally sovereign
in His purpose, is our heavenly Fa
ther. The man or woman whose ves
sel of life has been marred by sin
and failure need only yield anew to
the Potter’s blessed hand.
