They would pity the submerged poor
among human beings.
Science says all of earth s life was
once in the ocean. Some animals
i limbed on the land, developed lungs
in place of the fish’s bladder, ears
in plore of gills. Men were included
in that migration to land. Other
animal', even more ambitious, learn
ed to fly—the birds.
Among human beings a few, bird-
like. fly above the level of necessity
to the realms of wealth. Once they
gei there, they, like the birds, .are
»fe. But, like the birds, they don’t
do much thinking. They don’t have
to think.
Mr. Broun, known the world over
as- the recalcitrant stormy petrel of
thought, quarrels with President
Coolidge because the President'

then a«ks for fifteen cruisers.
ThatV not inconsistent. The other:
nations know that we can get the fif- 1
teen cruisers, and fifty if we want
them. And that creates the “goed!
will."
Broun asks, "Is a man who goes
out into the world armed only with
faith nu.re timid than he who car
ries weapons?" Of course he is. ;
Look at the rabbit. He carries no
weapon, and is more timid than the ,
lion or wolf, that has a mouthful of i

Two topical courses are give;
the first and fourth quarters of* the
year. From April to September the
lessons are in the Old Testament
“Prophetic Teaching and Leadership
in Judah’’—Isaiah to the Restoration.
During the coming three months the
lessons present "Some Great Chris
tian Teachings’’ and deal with the
Persons in the Trinity, Sin. the Bible,
the Church, Repentance, Faith,
Sacraments, Sabbath, Repentance,
Missions and the Future Life.
Only a few verses are given in the
lesson text next week. In addition
careful reading, at least, should be
devoted to the other passages indi
cated by the Lessons Committee.
This *veck those portions are Exodus
34:4-7; Psalm 103:1-5, 10-14; Isaiah
40:27-31; John 3:3-6; 4:20-24; 8:40-
47; Romans 2:2-11; 8:14-17; John
4:7-16. "Search the scriptures" has
an added meaning during this quar
ter for teachings are not based up
on isolated texts but are developed by
the study of the Book as a whole.
"God is a spirit" was the declara
tion of the greatest Teacher when He
talked with the woman of Samaria.
God is the eternal One—the uncaused
Cause of all that followed. Man’s
understanding of Him has come
through progressive revelation and
acquaintance by living qonscfously
with Him. Being a "apirit” does not
make Him any the less real.
Moses had converse with God at the
burning bush and followed the Pres-
during those 40 years of wand
erings in the wilderness. We know
Him by many names, such as Lord,
Jehovah and worda that define his
attributes—Omnipotent, Omniscient,
Omnipresent. By reason of His rela
tionship with His creation ihcre is no
more familiar title than Father. David
sang of Him and Isaiah prophesied
concerning His kingdom.
In the Sermon on the Mount the
Son, a revelation in time, gave an
interpretation of the Father by means
of a nature study such that old and
young can unden£a*.d. He called at
tention to the birds of the air, the
lillies of the field and declared that
t .» Father is all the while caring for
all these, though living only for a
time and a far lesser order in crea
tion than the humans. Therefore
those made in His own image and
with ability to know their Creator
will be all the more constant objects
of His lovely care.
The little child accepts these truths
and, even as the youngster takes hold
of the strong hand of the earthly
father, trusts and obeys the Heaven
ly Father. Oh, for the faith and
confidence of such a child. Jesus said,
because of the care of such a Father,
we are not to take anxious thought.
We will trust to the uttermost as we
know, love and follow Him.

However, Socialists need not be
1 -iow-icast. Their candidate had a
hard time, running against pros
perity. 7..000.000 Coolidge plurality,
the "wet-dry" question, etc. When
l-euple are as busy as that, they hav
en t time to think about Socialism.
Will Rogers selects an "All-Amer

Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford,
Herbert Hoover. John D. Rockefel-
