SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Oct. 7. Abraham a Blessing to the Whole World.
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: ‘‘Ye shall be unto Me
a kingdom oi priests, and a holy na
tion.” Ex. 19:6.
• We learned ‘ last week that God s
latest effort to win the world that
had been lost to Him by the rebel
lion of Satan was in choosing a man,
separating him from his home and
kindred, giving him a new home, and
I promising him that in him and in
hia seed should zn; tae families ot
the earth be bleesed. That effort did
not succeed for the same reason that
The others had tailed—the material
’-with which God had to work. Abra
ham failed God in two important par
ticulars, and as a result his seed
had go into bondage in Egypt for
mors than 400 years.
Then God began another plan—or
rather it was another part of the
same plan He had always had. Abra
ham's seed had greatly multiplied in
klgypt; from 75 souls they had in
creased to more than 2,000,000. In
deed the Egyptian bondage was
necessary to th.s growth, tor in
Cannun the hostile nationis would
have made this multiplication very
difficult, if not impossible; but in
Goshen, unmolested by the Egypt
ians who hated shepherds, they multi
plied rapidly and without let or bin
; drance.
Unique Nation
At the end of the time specified
by God, He raised up a deliverer in
the person of Moses, who, by spe
cial training, was throughly quali
fied to be the leader of the people,
and to develop them from a motley
crowd of slaves into an organized
nation. Having overcome the mach
inations of Pharaoh and the dangers
of the .Red sea and the desert, God
brought them under Moses’ leader
ship to the Mountain of God —Mt.
Sinai. While the Israelites were en
camped at its base, Moses went up
into the mountain, and Jehovah
called him and told him to say to
the children of Israel that He had
brought them out of Egypt and had
borne them on eagle’s wings and
brought them to Himself. ‘‘Now,
therefore, if ye will obey my voice
indeed ,and keep my covenant, then
ye shall be mine own possession
from among all peoples: for all the
earth is mine, and ye shall be unto
line a kingdom of priests, and a holy
nation.”
God, whose is the whole earth and
who, therefore, has the right to do
with it as He pleases, of His own
free will and regardless of what
this people had been or what other
peoples were, chose this people to
be His own* possession. This, was
all of grace, so far as they were
concerned, it was to them unde
served favor; and on God’s part it
was the exercise of His sovereignty,
His right to do as He wills because
He is before all and all is of Him.
Unique Purpose
Notice His purpose in choosing
this nation as His own possession.
It was not that Israel should be
blessed beyond all the other nations
for their own selfish ends. Israel
thought so; Israel became exclusive,
and proud, and disdainful, and
looked upon all other nations as
dogs. But that was where this step
in God’s plan failed—we shall notice
that directly. Let us see what God’s
purpose was in choosing the nation
Israel as His own possession above
all peoples.
It was to make them a kingdom
of priests, and a holy (or separated)
nation. God needed some nation
that would stand for Him before the
peoples and bring the peoples to
Him—that is the office of a priest,
and that is what God chose the
nation to be and to do. In order
to do this they must be a holy na
tion—the word “holy” means “sep
arated”; they must not intermarry
with other nations, they must keep
a pure strain that the truth may
not be mixed with error; and thus
as a separated nation they could
be witnesses to the whole world.
So God had chosen this nation to
be a unique nation with a unique
purpose. Israel was to be a mission
ary nation. Not "a nation of mission
aries, but a missionary nation; for
in dealing with Israel, God’s plan
was not to deal with individuals in
the nation, but with the nation it
self as a whole. As a nation, they
should stand before God for all the
other peoples of the world, and be
fore all the peoples of the world for
God.
Unique Privilege
This was a unique privilege. To
a certain extent, Israel lived up to
’ this privilege and to a large extent
the nation failed God. Let us see
to what extent they did live up to
their privileges, or in other words,
for what the world is indebted to
the Jew as a nation.
The world owes to the Jew the
restatement and preservation of the
truth of the oneness of God. God
revealed himself to the first man
' as the true God. In the dawn of
history, God said, “Let us make
man in Our image.” Notice the
plural and yet the singular; and in
that dawn of the world we find God
the Father, God the Son, and God
the Spirit—the Three-One God.
In the days that followed, men
lost that idea of God, and gods mul
( tiplied, until Abram began to bring
back to men’s attention the fact
tljiat God js one. This truth crys
tallized in the nation of Israel at
Sinai when God spoke through

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY' JOURNAL
Moses:’"Hear, O Israel, Jehovah,
our God is one.”
The nation of Israel today, scat
tered among the nations as God had
said they would be if they did not
obey His voice, still holds to the
truth of the oneness of God, but they
have gotten away from the whole
truth which their leader, Moses, re
vealed, that God is the Three-One
God, one God but three personali
ties. They have lost temporarily the
truth thaf Moses recorded for us
that there are three persons in the
Godhead, the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit; that these three per
sons are one God, the same in sub
stance, equal in power and in glory.
The world is indebted to Israel for
the moral law. The law as given
by Moses is the basis of all law to
day in every civilized nation. The
laws of sanitation are based on those
enunciated by Moses. And the ten
commandments given by God to the
world through this people are the
rock foundation of all that is highest
in our civilization today—that is,
that can be obtained from law.
In writing to the Romans Paul
declared that to the Israelites had
been entrusted the oracles of God.
Did you realize that every writer
of the Bible, with the possible ex
ception of Luke, was a Jew? And
some even think that Luke was an
Hellenized Jew. In another part of
the same letter Paul reminded the
Romans (ch. 9:4. 5) that to the
Israelites “pertaineth the adoption,
and the glory, and the covenants,
and the giving of the law, and the
service, and the promises; whose are
the fathers, and of whom as con
cerning the flesh Messiah came, who
is over all, God blessed forever.”
This is the greatest debt that the
world owes to the Jew—that as
concerning the flesh Christ came.
The world's debt is the debt also of
Christianity. Christ’s followers owe
everything to the Jew —and yet how
often they have paid their dbet in
blood. No, Christ’s followers have
never done that, but some who have
claimed to be only.
Unique God
IsraeP, as a nation, failed God.
He chose them, of his own sovereign
will, all of grace, wholly undeserv
ed on their part, to be a kingdom
of priests and a separated nation.
They have not realized God’s pur
pose for them, although they have
been a missionary nation to the
world in the service they have ren
dered the world. Their exclusive
ness, their pride, their mistaken
opinion as to God’s purpose in choos
ing them and their rebellion against
Him, killing His prophets who
would have brought them into the
way of God’s will for them, and re
jecting His son whom He sent
among them, made God set them
aside for the time and take another
step in His plan. But that purpose
will yet be realized when they look
upon Him whom they have pierced
and mourn for Him as for an only
son.
Then the Jew as a nation will be
come the great evangelizing force
of the world. The world will be
converted when the Jew as a nation
begins to preach; for Zachariah in
speaking of that day, which is yet
future, says, “In those days it shall
come to pass that ten men shall
take hold out of all languages of
the nations, even shall take hold of
the skirt of Him that is a Jew, say
ing, We will go with you for we
have heard that God is with you.”
(Zech. 8:23). God’s purpose never
fails; sometimes it is delayed be
cause of the willfulness and the sin
of those through whom He would
work; but in the end it will succeed,
and Israel the unique nation, with
a unique purpose and a unique
privilege will be witnesses to the
unique God—a God who is Three—
One, who is holy, and that beside
Him there is none else. And best
of all that He is the only Saviour,
that “God so' loved the world that
He gave His only begotten son that
whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish but have everlasting
life.” And that “there is none other
name given under heaven among
men whereby we must be saved”
except the name of Jesus at which
“every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess that He is Lord to
the glory of God the Father.”

Wherever you are, and who
ever you may be, there is one
thing in which you and I are
just alike, at this moment, and
in all the moments of our exist
ence.
We are not at rest; we are on
a journey.
Our life is not a mere fact; it
is a movement, a tendency, a
steady, ceaseless progress to
wards an unseen goal.
We are gaining something, or
losing something, every day.
Even when our position and
our character seem to remain
precisely the same, they are
changing.
For the mere advance of time
is a change.
It is not the same thing to
have a bare field in January and
in July. The season makes the
difference.
The limitations that are child
like in the child are childish in
the man.
Everything that we do is a
step in one direction or another.
Even the failure to do
i something is in itself a deed.
It sets us forward or back
ward.
The action ot the negative
pole of a magnet is just as real
as the action of the positive.
To decline is to accept—the
other alternative.

Are you better today than you

; nearer to some port or other;

* Dear Children: I received a little
booklet the other day telling in a
most interesting manner the story of
the American Indian. The story in
cluded ,the names of the months,
and many interesting facts concern
ing our early Indians.
With the thought in mind that
you will find this story as interest
ing as I did, I am going to give it
to you serially; that is e once a week
you will get bits of this history, and
I want you to write me what you
think of it.
My interest dates back to my baby
days. When my father was a boy
he lived in a section of ’Georgia
where there were Cherokee Indians.
He learned their language and much
about their mode of life. He was
very fond of these Indians and when
I was a very small girl I would de
vour his stories about them and he
taught me a little of their language.
Raymond Sanchez, I wonder if you
could spare me two more of the ar
row heads? I would certainly appre
ciate them. Lovniglv,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May I enter
into your jolly circle for a few minutes? I
have just been reading some of the letters
in the Letter Box, and they surely are fine.
You Georgia kids, North and South Carolina
are getting ahead of us. Come on; I know
we have got some good writers in Georgia.
I, like most of the other cousins, live on a
farm, and like, it fine. Lula Fineash, of
Mississippi, if you see this in print, write
me. Cousins, I want- you all to write me.
I'll answer all cards and letters received.
Come again, Donnie Benson, of Atkinson,
N. C.: your letter was very interesting
Most of the cousins have a subject to write
about, but I guess I’ll have to close with
out one. My birthday is April 8. I was
seventeen. Who is my twin? Write me
With love to all,

Hello, everybody! Will you welcome an
other Alabama school girl into your happy
band of readers? I wonder what all of the
cousins are doing for pastime. I go to
school, and like it fine. I see most of the
cousins take a subject, but I will not take
a subject this time, as I am in a hurry
I often see letters from this state, but don't
know any of the cousins. I would like to
get photos of all the readers. They write
such good letters. Who has my birthday,
April 26? 1 am sweet sixteen and am in
the tenth grade. I am a little, motherless
girl. I keep house for daddy- and my broth
ers. Mother has been dead seven years. 1
was only a tiny tot, but I still remembei
her. She left ten children and a husband
to mourn her loss. It surely was sad to givs
her up, but we all must give up our par
ents some day, and we must be good and
kind to them, for they can’t be with us
always. Daddy is growing old. 1 try to be
as good to him as I can be. He still goes
anywhere he wants to and works every day.
When I was only twelve years old my sis
ter married and left me to keep house for
daddy. I didn't know anything about house
work. and I learned myself. Please send
•ue the following songs: ‘‘Good-by, Every
body,” ”I’ll Get Married Toda#,** “Th»
Lips That Touch Liquor -Shall Never Touch
Mine.” I will return the favor in any way
I can. I hope my letter will be printed,
as I want those songs. I must be going
before I overstep the rules, if I haven'*
already done it.
On Monday I wash my dollies’ clothes,
On Tuesday smoothly press them.
On Wednesday I mend their little hose,
On Thursday neatly dress them.
On Friday play that they have taken ill.
On Saturday something or other.
On Sunday I say, “Dollies, sit still
And go to church with your mother.”

Dear Auntie and Cousins Will you open
the door for a Mississippian to step in?
I’ve been a leader of The. Journal for buite
a while but haven’t had the courage to
write. Why don’t more of you Mississip
pians write? What do you cousins do for
pastime? I pick cotton and help mother
in the house. Estella and Novella Camp
bell, I guess your ages to be 16. Am I
right? Girls, I think the "powder and
paint” have been fully explained, don’t
you? I do not use the paint at all, but I
do use some powder. How many of you
cousins are studying about your God today?
Which are you studying about, God or a
dance hall or car rides? Cousins, I think
it a sin to dunce. How many of you agree
with me? I am a member of the Baptist
church at Oakland, Miss. All of you cou

Dear Folks: A letter from one of
our circle brought to my mind-a sug
gestion that I have wanted to make
to you for some time. Her letter
spoke of a delightful reading circle
that had been formed in her com
munity, and asked for suggestions
for their winter’s work.
When it came to the books they
were to read, as the letter was from
Georgia, I immediatly suggested
writing to the library commission,
state capitol, Atlanta, for a‘list of
books. These could be secured from
the commission by checking the
books on the list and paying the
postage charge to bring and return
the books. Os course Ido not know
what states have this commission,
but where it functions it is certainly
a great help to communiies having
no library service.
Now for my suggestion to you all:
Why not have a reading circle this
winter in your neighborhood, and
while one member reads aloud, let
the others work on Christmas gifts?
Set aside a certain period for this
and at the end of this period have
a real soc.al ho r, with a hot drink
and some sandwiches or cakes? Do
try it some of you and let me know
how you like it.
C v “ally,
AUNT JULIA.

collar and the deep cuffs be

sleeve that fits closely to the wrist,
the opening in the sleeve snaps and
the snaps are sewed on so th. t the
sleeve literally snaps together, not
one side over the other. On each
side of this op?-’- is ved two
or more b’ack horn buttons, in the
cuff button holes are made to fit
these buttons, the cuff is basted on
so that when you turn it back you
can button each side to its re
spective buttons. The collar is coat
shaped, a - 't gives a very smart
touch to a dress.
Nellie: You will like the Jersey
dress, I believe it will wash, but
would suggest that when you dry it
you use a pillow case to hold it,
just dropping it in the case, hang
ing the case by clothes pin to you
line and allo.w the wind to blow
through it. I am afraid otherwise
it will either shrink or stretch out
of shape.
B. B.: Personally I think you are
a very silly girl to think of stopping
school at fifteen. What on earth
are you going to do with yourself
until you are grown? My advice to
you would be to plug harder than
ever at school, surely you are not
going to let a thing like mathematics
get the best of you? It just isn’t
any use to think that I’m going to
advise you against your parents
judgment.
Jim: You are mistaken when you
think your parents are trying to
"take the joy out of living,” when
they do not want you to srrtoke un
til you are at least eighteen. If you
were mine I’jl surely put that limit
to twenty-one. They just don’t want
a runt for a boy, with stained fin
gers and irritated nerves. I think
if a boy waits until he is twenty
one he has sense enough not to over
do smoking, and at that age he’ll
smoke like a man, and not try to
be smart about it. Think it over
and see if your parents haven’t al
ways wanted what was best for you.
Mother: Checked and plaid ging
ham make smart school togs. I cer
tainly like the bloomer dresses. Use
a solid color to match your dress,
fishing almost, any time. I will leave my
age for you to guess, which is between fif
teen and eighteen. Who has my birthday.

like to hear from you. How many of you
cousins like to read? I for one. Say, epus
ins. will some of you send me the songs.
“The Lips That Touch Luquor Shall Never
Touch Mine,” “Red Wings,” and “Fond
Affections.” and “When I'm Gone You'll
Soon Forget.” I have some songs and will
send any of them in return. Aunt Julia,
please print this as I want the songs. I
will thank you very much. Remember, cous
ins, I am looking for a lot of letters from
you all. Will answer all received. Send

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Has a Mother the Right to Choose
Her Children’s Life Partners? —
Song Writing, a Business or a
Hobby?—The Lack of Man
ners in American Children
“Dear Miss Dix —Has a mother a
right to pick out her children’s hus
bands and wives for them? My
mother thinks she has. She has never
forgiven my oldest brother, and has
not spoken to him for five years be
cause he married against her wishes.
There was nothing in the world
against the girl.
Sh© is a splendid
woman and has
made my broth
er a fine wife,
but my mother
didn’t like the
color of her hair,
or her eyes, or
some other thing
equally silly.
“Now I am
engaged to be
married to a
fine young chap,
but my mother
tells me that
she will not for-
• -
ns
RFj
give me if I marry him and do not
marry the man she has selected for
me. She has no real reason to ob
ject to my choice, as he is a moral,
upright man who makes a good
living. He is a better man in every
way than the one she fancies. I
hate to hurt my mother’s feelings,
yet I cannot give up the man I love.
What shall I do?
“TROUBLED GIRL.”
Answer:
Marry the man you love. Take
your own choice, not your mother’s
choice. You are the one who is
going to have to live with him, not
she. And you are the one to be
pleased.
When a girl’s mother tells her
that she should not marry a man
because he is immoral, or drunken,
op has a brutal temper, or is just
plain lazy and no-account and can’t
make a living, the girl should listen
to her and be influenced by mother’s
counsel, because her own common
sense will tell her that any one of
these things disqualify a man for
being a suitable husband. But when
mother’s objections are mere preju
dices, they are not worth consider
ing.
A mother takes a great responsi
bility upon herself when she keeps
her children from marrying the
man or woman they want to marry
because of a difference in religion,
or nationality, or social position. If
the young people have love enough
for each other to overlook these ob
stacles, it is their affair and she has
no business to interfere in the mat
ter.
Furthermore, no one, not even a
mother, can feel the attraction that
a man and woman have for each
other and that makes them con
genial to each other and antipa
thetic to others.
After all, marriage is the most
personal act of a life and the one in
which other people have the least
right to interfere.
DOROTHY DIX.
“Dear Miss Dix—For nearly five
years I have been the victim of the
song-writing bug. During all of
that time I have been writing lyrics,
but have not been- able to sell any
of them yet, and what I would like
to know is this: Should I keep on
in this profes"on or stick to busi
ness and forget it? I often say to
myself: *Oh, well, what’s the use?
I’ll never get anywhere.’ But the
if it is worth it. Aunt Julia, if I don’t
soon say adieu the wastebasket, I fear, will
come into view. Now, won’t some of the
cousins kindly spend a few moments writ

visit me down here in the Canal Zone. Os
course the trip would be fine, even though
some of you did get a little seasick on
the way down. Then after you got here,
I would show you tilings that would inter
est each and every one ot you. Os course
everyone would be interested in the canal,
which alone is well worth the trip. But
the canal is not the only thing that is
worth while seeing. Colon and Panama
City, with their old Spanish and modern
American buildings standing side by side
and with its strange mixture of old and
new customs, presents a very interesting
contrast. These are the two largest cities
In tlie Republic of Panama. You nature
lovers, I would take out in the jungles
and show you many strange and interest
ing specimens of plant and insect life and
a few strange animals. You would see the
parrots and macaws right in their native
haunts nnd maybe catch a glimpse of a
troop of monkeys swinging through the
trees. You, who love flowers, could gather
orchids by the armfuls and not pay a penny
for them. There are so many things that
I can’t begin to tell you of them all. If
you want to hear more, just write to
GLEN W. PRICE, PhM.-3.
Coco Solo, Canal Zone.
P. S. —To the person who guesses my age
I will send an assorted collection of post
raids and kodak views. It is somewhere

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1923.
next minute I am as busy writing
as if my bread depended on it.
“Perhaps you, who are more
worldly wise than I am, can adyise
me on this perplexing problem. Is
the struggle worth while? T. McC.”
Answer:
No one can decide this problem
for another. There are people who,
after years and years of struggle and
failure, have succeeded at last, and
there are others who have spent
their lives in an agonized endeavor
to do that which they could never
do, and whose only reward was bit
terness and defeat.
Mark Twain once said to a young
writer who asked him this same
question: “Put in two years at hard
labor at writing. Send what you
write to the papers and magazines,
and if at the end of that time some
editor is not willing to buy what you
write, be sure that you have mis
taken your talent, and take up some
other occupation.”
It seems to me that this is good
advice, and if, after one has made
a f&itliful and honest trial of one’s
abilities and has had no sign of suc
cess, it is folly to waste any more
time upon it. Just desiring to do a
thing is not, as so many people
think, any indication that you can
do it.
You might yearn with your whole
soul to be a Caruso, but you cannot
be a grand opera singer if nature
has not given you the throat of a
singing bird. You might dream night
and day of being a motion-picture
star, but not all your wishing could
make you one unless the good fairies
were around and <..<cpped the fatal
gift of beauty in your cradle.
So T. McC., my advice is to con
nect with a good business job, and
keep lyric writing for a hobby
something to play with, something
to interest and amuse and solace
you. And in that way you can have
your cake and eat it, too.
DOROTHY DIX.
“Dear Miss Dix Will you not
write something about the lack of
manners of American children? In
stead of teaching their children good
manners, the mothers actually incul
cate bad manners and lack of con
sideration of others in their young.
You can harefly go into a street car
in which some mother has not lifted
her child with dirty, muddy shoes
up on the seat so that it can look
out of the window. She is utterly
regardless of the fact that she is
ruining the clothes of the people
about her, and the next person who
has to .sit on the muddy seat.
“We Americans consider ourselves
more civilized than the Chinese and
the Japanese, but there are no more
refined and well-mannered children
than the Japanese children. They
are qqiet in their play and enjoy
themselves just as much as Ameri
can children do, but they do not yell
like Indians. They are polite, and
never destroy public property. When
I was a child we were told that ‘chil
dren should be seen and not heard.'
I think it is a pity that the same
doctrine is not inculcated in modern
children.
A. READER.”
Shake, reader. J also have spent
much time in Japan, and I agree
with you that there are no such well
raised children in the world as the
Japanese children. We spend mil
lions of dollars a year sending mis
sionaries to Japan. It is a great
pity that Japan doesn’t raise a few
million yen and send some mission
aries to teach us how to raise chil
dren. DOROTHY DIX.

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Old Friends Talk Things Over
Think not in trouble you’re alone,
For none has troubles all his own.
—Bob White.
The strange dog, who had been so
badly fooled by Peter Rabbit, finally
found Peter’s tracks again and fol
lowed them. But he was too late.
Peter was safely in an old hole of
Johnny Chuck’s. The dog tried to
dig him out, but this didn’t worry
Peter at all. He knew that that
hole was too deep. He knew that
after a while that dog would get
tired of digging. He did. For a
while he made the dirt fly, then he
grew tired and discouraged. At last
he gave up and trotted away.
Peter didn’t come out for a long
time. When he did venture up to
the entrance he was careful to put
only his head out for a look around.
At once he saw an old friend, a
plump, little person wearing a red
dish-brown coat. He had a white
throat and a short, stout bill. Alto
gether he was as neat and hand
some a little fellow in a modest way
as you will often see.
Peter hopped out at once, for he
knew that the way was clear.
“Hello, Bob White!” cried he. “It
is a long time since I’ve seen you.”
“Hello, Peter,” replied Bob White.
“What were you doing down in that
hole?”
“I was chased by a strange dog
and this was the only place of
safety,” explained Peter. “My, but
that dog could run! You ought to
be thankful, Bob White, that you
don’t have dogs among your ene- i
mies to watch out for.”
“Who says I don’t have to watch
out for dogs? Who says that,” de
manded Bob White.
Thoughtfully Peter scratched a
long ear with a long hind foot.
“Why, I don’t know that anybody
has said it. but I’ve never seen dogs
chasing you.”
“Dogs don’t chase me,” * replied
Bob White. “If they chased me I
wouldn’t care. But they hurt me,
just the same. If it were not for
dogs I wouldn’t worry so much
about the hupters with terrible
guns. All I would have to de would
be to lie still. Those hunters would
never find me. But they bring
dogs, and those dogs have wonder
ful noses. No matter how carefully
I hide, one of those dogs is almost
sure to find me.
Then he stands still and with his
nose points to where I am hiding.
Then the hunter with the terrible
gun is ready to shoot the instant I
fly. I hate those dogs! Yes, sir, I
hate those dogs! I wouldn’t mind
them if it were not for their mas
ters, the hunters with the terrible
guns. I suppose that the next few
weeks are going to be terribly hard
on my family. I expect those hunt
ers are going to get some of them, .
in spite of all I can do.” Bob White
sighed.
“Is Bowser the Hound one of the
dogs you are afraid of?” asked
Peter.
Bob White chuckled. . “No,” said
