WORLD PEACE RAT NEEDED
li has been suggested that a
day bo set apart to be known and
observed throughout the \vorld
as an International World I’eace
Holiday. This suggestion pos
sesses too much merit to be al
lowed to pass unnoticed. Such a
day would be of more value to
mankind everywhere than many
days now observed, because, in
stead of looking to the past it
would look to the future. If one
stops to think, all of the days I
that we observe are in comm un
oration of something that has
happened in the past. The In
ternational World Peace Holiday
would look to the future. Its!
purpose would not be so much
to glory in the present victory as
it would bring to the attention of
future generations the virtue and
tiie necessity of peace, and the;
ruin and devastation of war.
If we are to continue to keep
alive the interest in the things!
worked out at the San Francisco j
Conference and the conferences
to follow it is going to be neces
sary to bring to the minds of the
people everywhere the necessity
for eternal vigilance. The best
means for promoting such vigi
lance would be a day observed
by all nations of the earth, the
central theme of which would he
world peace. This country, Eng
land, Russia, China and France
who have suffered so much from
this war could unite in establish
ing the day. For the next tvven- j
ty-live years at least the retur i- j
ed veterans could give the in- 1
spiration and the impetus to the
observance of the day after
which it would be established as
an institution.
Peace means so much in so
many ways to the world from
now on out that, there should be
no difficulty in securing com
plete cooperation in the observ
ance of a day dedicated to its
preservation.
The programs that might be
prepared for such a day could be
made most interesting. They
could bring to mind the great
cost of the war and show how it
served to strip from people every
where their earnings and (hob
savings earnings and savirg?
that otherwise might a iVr a,
devoted to better living, a more
cultural and a happier life for
people everywhere One ha s
but to take the cost of this war
and translate it into g >"d roads,
hospitals, churches, public build
ings, and homes to apprecia e
that war does not take mere y
tax money. It takes human lives,
it takes homes, and hospitals rod
good roads and libraries an u
churches and culture and social
advancement. War not only con
sumes the savings of the past,
it is an oppressive mortgage on
the future.
The establishment of the In
ternational Peace Holiday should,
be made a part ot the present'
peace plans. It would be an ef
fective follow-up to them a
necessary follow-up if their pro
gram is to be permanent.
Without such a plan tin re is a
well founded fear that when the
last meeting to set up a peace
plan has been held, we will lo ik
upon the matter as finished a id
settled and again go about our
business and forget all our good
resolutions, our hopeful high
sounding speeches will leave the
world lo again become the vic
tim and the battlefield of the war
makers and the tyrants. We are
not going to drift into peace and
drift along in peace. World peace
is a job of swimming up stream.
It requires constant, earnest ef
fort.—Exchange.

A NATION GOD USED
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 41:46-57.
GOLDEN TEXT—He hath given meal
unto them that fear him: he will ever be
mindful of his covenant.—Psalm 111:5.
Conservation of natural resources
—that phrase has a modern touch to
it, and yet we would do well to turn
back to the story of Joseph in Egypt
and learn anew the importance of
not wasting what we have if we are
to be fed in the days of shortage.
Certain it is that we should face
at once the shameful record of
waste in the manufacture and sale i
of intoxicants. This is temperance
Sunday. Let us not fail to stress this
truth.
Joseph recognized the provision of
God and made use of it for His glory
and the good of the people.
I. Food—God’s Provision (vv. 43-
49).
As men work with God in the cul
tivation of the land they are apt j
to begin lo think of themselves a« 1
producers, when they are actually |
only the servants of the Lord in the
orderly care of that which He pro- |
vides.
We need to renew our sense of
complete dependence upon God lest
we become proud of our own sup- 1
j posed attainments and forget Him.
I Then He will have to withhold His
I bountiful hand and we shall stand !
! with empty measures.
Remember, too, that what God
has given to teed the nations cannot
: with impunity be used for the manu
■ facture of intoxicating beverages
I which are designed and used for no
good purpose—only for destruction.
Let’s not forget that God could send
j us a famine, too!
The manner in which Joseph cared
for the gathering of the grain is j
j worth noting. He did not sit in his
| royal office and send out an edict.
He went throughout the land build- |
ing storehouses, seeing that the
grain was properly conserved.
We need more of that personal
touch in government. Too much of
life is controlled by “directives” and
“rules” with too little of the touch
of human kindness and a personal I
knowledge of the needs of the peo
ple.
Observe also the wisdom of stor
ing the food in the place where it I
was raised and where it would
eventually bo needed. No shipping
| an d re-shipping, no undue centraliza
j tion, and no temptation to form a
special “grain bureaucracy.”
11. Family—God’s Gift (vv. 50-52).
From among the Gentiles, Joseph j
: took himself a bride. While it is
not indicated, we have reason lo as
sume that she was a believer in the
true God. One cannot Imagine a
man of Joseph’s character and spir
itual integrity marrying an unbe
liever.
The sons which came into the ,
home were recognized as God’s gift.
Note how God was counted into the
life of these boys and of the home.
Wo spoke above about the need
of conserving grain. Think now of
the infinitely more important con
servation of boys and girls.
The liquor interests have used this
war to create a taste for beer on
the part of millions of young men
and women, both in the armed serv
ices and in our war plants. They
have broken down the objections and
the religious principles of many and
we are almost at the point where
one who objects is regarded as a
foolish fanatic.
If America cannot with impunity
use her grain to make booze, do
you think God will hold us guiltless
if we stand idly by and let the
rapacious breweries and distilleries
take our boys and girls? It is high
time that we awakened to our re
sponsibility and stood up for our con
victions, come what may!
111. Famine God’s Opportunity
(vv. 53-57).
Now the time had come when
God’s word to Joseph was proved to
be true. When His loyal servant
stood before the world as the one
| who was in touch with the infinite
1 One, he had the food to give out
because he had obeyed God’s com
mand.
It is in the crises of life that the
things of God prove themselves. !
When man’s hand drops in weak- ;
ness and despair, God steps in and
does the abundant thing; that is, if 1
we are willing to recognize Him.’
There is another sense in which !
the coming of famine was God’s op- I
portunity, for it gave Him the ’
chance He wanted to speak to men. i
In tire days of plenty and prosperity j
mankind is self-sufficient and too j
busy to listen to God, but when there i
is no food to eat, he has time to !
hear God.
One wonders, with a wonder that
is almost agonizing at times, wheth
er America is going to force God to
bring hunger of body to her children
in order to make their hearts hun
ger for Him. Will we wait to cry
out to God until we have felt the
sharp pangs of hunger, or will we
by our obedience and gratitude of
heart encourage Him to continue His
abundance toward us? Reader, how
do you feel in your own heart? ’
OLD ARMY GAME
An instructor was lecturing a
; class of officer candidates. “A 40-
! foot flagpole has fallen down,” he
! said. ‘‘You have a sergeant and a
squad of 10 men. How do you erect
the flagpole again?”
The candidates thought, then of
fered suggestions about block-and
tackle, derricks, and other methods.
| ‘‘You’re all wrong,” replied the
I instructor. ‘‘You just say; ‘Ser
| geant, get that flagpole up.’ ”
TRICK QUESTION
v- v
ilfeJS
SfIPMF'
i Nit—How many bricks does it
I take to finish a chimney?
Wit—Oh, several hundred, I sup
pose, depending on the size.
Nit—No, only ope.
School Daze
Boy Scholar—You said the com
position I handed in was both good
and original, and yet you gave me
a zero.
Teacher—Well, the part that was
original was no good, and the
part that was good was not original.
Alternatives
Small boy—Mother, may I go out
and play with the boy across the
street?
Mother—No, I don’t want you to
associate with him.
S. B.—Then can I go out and fight
with him?
Home Problem
Boy—Mother, I’m lonesome. I
haven’t anyone to play with.
Mother—Why don’t you play with
the preacher’s son next door?
Boy—l played with him this morn
ing, and I don’t believe he'll be well
enough to come out yet.
Easy Money
Lyra—See that young man across
the street? He lives on the fat of
the land.
Myra—ls he a farmer?
Lyra—No, he sells electric reduc
! ing machines.
Hopeful Diagnosis
Doctor (after examining girl’s
leg)—Well, your leg is swollen a
bit, but I wouldn’t worry about it.
Patient—lf your leg was swollen,
I wouldn’t worry about it, either.
Among Us Gals
Cora—l wonder why Betty is so
fond of that second lieutenant?
Dora—l guess it’s because the
first one didn’t give her a tumble.
At the Office
Smith—Living in the country cer
tainly has its disadvantages.
Brown—What do you miss most?
Smith—The last train home.
Stormy Weather
Soldier (in barracks) Just look
what the wind blew in!
New Arrival Wind, nothing! It
was the draft that did it.
Tedious Repetition
Wifey—Our new neighbor is from
Walla Walla.
Hubby—l hoard you the first time.
SMART IDEA
Pat—How do you get along with
j the ngw boss?
Mike—Terrible. He’s the meanest
guy I know.
Pat—How’s that?
Mike—He had the legs sawed off
the wheelbarrow so I couldn’t sit
j down and rest.
Such a Quiet Life!
She—l suppose you find life in the
air force pretty dull in the eve-
I nings?
j He—Simply nothing to do. We play
darts, do a few crossword puzzles,
drop a basket of bombs on Tokyo
and go to bed.
Words Fitly Spoken
Nell—That song I just sang is one
of Lily Pons’ favorites. What did you
think of my rendering of it?
Belle—Well, Lily Pons has a won
derful voice, but yours is better still*
