THE HIGHWAY BOARD
Quite properly the Senate re
jected a proposal to turn the
highway board entirely over t<
the so-called “leaders” of th<
lower branch. In effect th e
measure that lost because th<
Senate refused to agree to atn
proposal except (1) popular elec
tion of Board members or (2)
appointment, with confirmation,
as are members of the Hoard of
Regents, Board of Education,
Board of Health and Public Wei
fare and Veterans Board, would
have made the Speaker of tin
House the actual Governor of th<
State, since the enormous power;
over legislation through control
of the House calendar would
have permitted him to name tin
membership of the Highway
Board and control all allocations
qf roads in the Stale.
Many sound arguments, how
ever. exist for getting road con
struction out of executive con
trol. Probably the most effec
tive would he the popular elec
tion of the Director of the agen
cy and the appointment of a con
siitutional Board, which would
have the duty of approving o
disapproving the annual progran
and supervising the fiscal opera
tions subject to usual budgetary
provisions. This is the systei
now in use in the Department o
Education, and has resulted in
one of the must efficient btai
agencies in the Soutn. It is tl
system in many other States.-E.\

TRUE TO A GREAT HERITAGE
LESSON TEXT: Dueteronomy 4:1. 32-40.
MEMORY SELECTION: He hath made
his wonderful works to be remembered.
Psalm 111:4.
A goodly heritage is the gift of
God to his people. By faith they
must enter into it and possess it.
Thus they honor him who has prom
ised, and they witness to all the
earth that he is a great God and a
loving heavenly Father. It magnifies
his name to believe on his word and
to act on his promises.
Israel, having failed God and j
plunged themselves into years of i
wandering by their unbelief when
they just came up to the Promised
Land, were now ready to go over
Jordan and take the land.
A new generation had grown up,
and for their instruction Moses re
hearsed the history of the peo
ple, repeated the promises of God, I
and renewed their remembrance of
hi* law. The book of Deuteronomy
gives that "second law” actually
a review of what had been given
before. i
As they entered upon God’s rich ;
heritage for them they were admon
ished to I
I. Hearken to God’s Law (v. 1).
To hearken means more than to
hear and forget. It carries with it
the giving of attention to what is
heard with the purpose of doing I
something about it.
God’s law, his statutes and judg
ments are for the good of his peo
ple. They are not designed to limit
their freedom, but to provide the
channels through which they shall
be most free to live and to accom
plish that which is good and noble
and useful.
Two things were assured to Israel
if they hearkened to the law of God.
They would first of all “live.’’ This
does not mean oiily that they should
escape death, but that they might
enter into the fullness of life.
“The Bible teaches that we are
free to choose between a high
grade of life or a low grade, be- j
tween a life which involves fellow
ship with God or a daily existence
which means nothing more than the j
enjoyment of animal comforts and i
following our own willful ways’’
(Earl L. Douglass).
The second result of obeying
God’s law would be their going into
and possessing the land which God
gave them. There is victory and
attainment, as well as blessed fel
lowship for the one who obeys God. |
That is true today as it was in the
time of Moses.
11. Remember God’s Love (vv. 1
32-3(3).
The loving mercies of God toward
his people had revealed his infinite
greatness and glory.
He revealed himself in the fire—
and they might well have been con
sumed by it—yet he graciously
spoke to them instead of destroy
ing them. They were to recall, too,
that he had done a mighty and won
derful thing in taking them out of
the powerful hand of Egypt and
making them into a people for his ,
name. '
Sad is the state of the soul of
fhe man who has lost his sense of t
the miraculous. To live in the miplst *
of the constant demonstration of
God’s power and his mercy, and to
see and feel nothing but the com
monplace touch of humdrum daily
life, is to be blind and deaf—yes,
to be dead spiritually.
Is he any less powerful today?
Certainly not! He is still the God
of the miraculous and nowhere is
that divine energy more evident
than in the spiritual life of man.
The wonders of God In creation
were rehearsed for Israel. They
learned of his care for his people.
“But far more wonderful are the
works of God in the new creation
and his infinite care for his peo
ple redeemed from a ruined race,
and made inheritors of eternal resi
dence in the heavenly Canaan”
(flight C. Moore).
111. Depend on God’s Promise
(vv. 37-40).
The Promised Land was before
them, but it was for them to go in
and possess it. There w-ere warfare
and struggle ahead, mighty warlike
peoples to overcome. Were they
able for it? No, not in their own
strength!
How were they to accomplish this
formidable task? By counting on
God. He had promised to drive out
the nations now holding the land.
He is a God not only in heaven,
but also on earth (v. 39). The peo
ple who believe him may go for
ward expecting miracles to hap
pen.
Obedience to God’s law brings
fellow-ship with the eternal and
omnipotent One, and the confident
assurance that he will bring victory
and the full accomplishment of his
will for the obedient believer.
That is as true now as ever. Yes,
let’s be accurate and say that it is
more true than ever, for believers
now are indwelt by the Holy Spirit
of God who makes real in and
through them all the grace anc
beauty and power of God.
