Andrew Jackson, with the Tennes¬ seans, Kentuckians, Creoles and pi¬ rates, won a great victory at Chal- mette when they turned back the tide of Red Coats. Parkenham, the English general, fell fatally wound¬ ed on the battlefield. Out of a colorful past emerges the Louisiana of today, tranquil, hos¬ pitable and progressive. The chem¬ ist is still busy there. The labora¬ tory of the scientist and the fac¬ tory of the industrialist are collab¬ orating in a new field of develop¬ ment. Louisiana has within its bor¬ ders the raw materials and facili¬ ties necessary for the successful operation of chemical industries. Its farms supply cotton, sugar cane, rice, corn and sweet potatoes. Its forests provide many kinds of tim¬ ber. Its deposits of oil, gas, salt, sulphur, coastal shells, sand, grav¬ el and other minerals are abundant. Wealth from Waste. Wallboard is made of once use¬ less sugar cane pulp, rubber from petroleum and carbon black from natural gas. Chemical and scien¬ tific research has opened new fields for plastic and synthetic manufac¬ ture, using Louisiana’s great re¬ sources. Seven paper mills manu¬ facture newsprint from pulpwood, salt cake and other chemicals. Cook¬ ing oil, stock feed, rayon, film, cel¬ lophane, celluloid, felts, surgical dressings and glycerine are pro¬ duced from cottonseed. Sugar is made from sorghum and countless by-products of rice are being util¬ ized. Starch, glue and industrial al¬ cohol are manufactured from sweet potatoes. Oil from the tung tree is Mark Twain spoke of the pom- pano cooked in Louisiana as being “delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.” William Makepeace Thackery found New Orleans “the city of the world where you can eat and drink the most and suffer the least.” Irvin S. Cobb found New Orleans bouillabaisse, a fish chow¬ der, unexcelled. The people of Louisiana set tables of luscious Creole dishes that have evolved over a period of more than two centuries and present a trium¬ phant synthesis of the French love for delicacies and the Spanish taste for pungent seasoning. While Creole cooking today is found at its best in the vicinity of New Orleans and in the Teche country, its excellencies may be enjoyed throughout Louisi¬ ana wherever the French influence has penetrated. In the preparation of sea food Creole cuisine is at its best. Oysters, with crabs and shrimp, are cooked in gumbo and it is said that a Creole puts everything into gumbo except the Creole! In addition to sea food, game and domestic fowl, there are varieties of roasts and other elaborate dishes. Rice is used by Louisianans as Irish potatoes are used elsewhere. Hominy grits is to breakfast what rice is to dinner. The perfect com¬ plement to a Creole meal is Creole dripped coffee—although a taste for it has to be acquired since it is blacker and stronger than that used in other states. As one goes farther north in Lou¬ isiana the cooking more and more resembles that of the South in gen¬ eral, but there are few places where Creole methods have not had some influence. In the vicinity of Natchitoches, the Spanish influence is particularly noticeable. The Mon¬ roe area is famous for its barbe¬ cues. Usually 15 or more ingredi¬ ents are used in preparing sauces for barbecued meats. A popular “country dish” of this section is pot liquor and corn pone. INDUSTRIAL LOUISIANA In sharp contrast to Louisiana’s well-known agricultural importance is its extensive industrial develop¬ ment. This is a section of the huge refinery of the Standard Oil com¬ pany at Baton Rouge. At the beginning of the present century, Louisiana embarked upon an era of intensive industrial growth. Discovery and development of abundant raw material resulted in tbe establishment over the stato of refineries, chemical plants and otber large industrial units. JAMES HOUSTON DAVIS Governor of Louisiana “Jimmie” Davis was born on hill farm in the Beech Springs com munity of Jackson Parish. He is a graduate of Louisiana State univer sity. Former school teacher, court clerk, Shreveport police commis¬ sioner and public service commis¬ sioner, he was elected governor in 1944. His hobbies are music, sing¬ ing, fishing and hunting.

It is a significant thing that our business and national leaders often come from Christian homes, but it is sad that they themselves are so frequently not Christians. Their lives are shaped by the teaching and influence of godly parents, but what will their children do if they are not brought up in the fear and admonition of the Lord? II. The Condition—National and Spiritual Confusion (vv. 16-19). The history of the period of the judges in Israel is incomplete, but what we have shows the awful con¬ dition of the nation. Not only were they in separate tribes, but the peo¬ ple as a whole were divided into three groups—north and south of Jerusalem, and east of the Jordan The moral and spiritual decay were evident in their turning to the Immoral practices of Baal-worship. One would have thought that God would give up a people so set on sinning, but he did not. He provided deliverance for Israel. That gives us courage, for we know that he has not given us up, but has pro¬ vided in Christ a sure deliverance, if America will turn to him. It is interesting to note that God works through men. Some of these udges were great men; others were ust ordinary men. But each in his appointed place, at the appointed time, was God’s man. Confusion, sin and disobedience cannot be tolerated indefinitely. So Israel stubbornly went on to III. The Conclusion —Judgment from God (vv. 20-23). God not only will not hold a back sliding nation guiltless, but will bring judgment even if he has to turn over his people to a despoiling nation. He has instruments of in dividual and national chastisement and he is ready to use them. Notice that wherever they wenl the Lord’s hand was against them There is no place to flee from the presence of God. Anyone who thinks he can do it should read Psalm 139: 7-12. It can’t be done. That is a comfort to the believer, but it is very disquieting to the unbeliever They compromised with evil, and lost not only their testimony but their very spiritual life. They for¬ sook God and took into their friend¬ ship the enemies of God, only to find that they were their own enemies. We are In danger now of compro¬ mise with evil, both in our personal »nd in our national lives.

A PEOPLE IN CONFUSION LESSON TEXT: Judges 2:7, 11. 16-23. MEMORY SELECTION: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear.—He¬ brews 13:6. Confusion is a word well suited to describe the world today. With the end of the war we had hoped for peace and goodwill, and what have we? We may learn from the ex¬ perience of Israel the reasons for such confusion. They, too, had come Into their land and should have had only peace and prosperity Instead there were turmoil and disorder.) Why? The success or failure of Doth na¬ tions and individuals is ultimately determined by their attitude toward the law of God. He is always right and true. The constant factor in a world order that swings wildly from one extreme to another is his law, which is perfect and eternal. God is no respecter of persons Even Israel, his own chosen na¬ tion, found that observing God’s law meant blessing, and failure to do so orought judgment and soirow. No man is great and powerful enough to .gnore this rule, and none is exempt from its operation. I. The Cause—Forgetting God (vv. I. 11). The Lord had promised the land to them as they went in and pos¬ sessed it by faith in him. He fully <ept that promise in the measure .hat they believed him. They never lid take the whole land, but that was Jecause of their failure, not God’s. As the people of Israel took pos¬ session of the land, they went for¬ ward in the way of blessing as long ss Joshua, and the elders who re¬ membered God, kept them steady and true. We have here an excellent .llustratiun of the power of a godly example. It is far stronger than we think. The fact that a nation has been nighly privileged and has been ex¬ alted to a place of power and honor will not save it in the day when God is forgotten. Israel no longer lad God-fearing men to bring it back to the Lord, and so began its aw¬ ful drifting. We Americans are rightly proud of our great land, its mighty re¬ source's, its fine past and promising future. But what is the future to be? Oh, we say, the most glorious days are ahead! They may be, bul only if we, like our forefathers who established this nation, recog¬ nize God. If we do not, America will go the way of the forgotten em¬ of centuries and that in Hardworking 1. f \ MUSCLES S tmh relv SLOAN'S mm on ™ Why suffer the torture of muscle soreness!
