LESSON
TESTING HABITS BY THEIR
USEFULNESS
International Sunday School Lesson
for June 2, 1940
Golden Text: “By their fruits
ye shall know them.” Matt. 7:16.
(Lesson Text: Ezekiel 15: 1-6, Matt.
5: 13-16; 7: 16-20; I Cor. 10: 6-7.
It is difficult for us to overesti
mate the importance of habit in our
every-day life and the part that
must be assigned to it in the explana
tion of both thought and action. As
a matter of fact, in the adult, prac
tically no act is independent of habit-
Habit frees the individual from the
need of constant thought and enables
him to devote himself to the general
ends to be attained and to the ac
quisition of new skill.
Granted the supreme importance of
habit for the individual and for so
ciety, it is evident that it is essential
that right rules be followed in order
to develop suitable habits. Every act
of an individual leaves its mark upon
that person’s nervous system and
these marks, in the end, make the
man. When a habit is recognized as
good, every occasion possible should

be utilized for executing the acts
that are to make the habit, and, of
course, vice versa. It is important
for the development of a good char
acter that the individual endeavor to
choose good habits and to check the
bad. Gradually through repetition, a
stock of habits will be acquired that
will determine one’s manners, morals
and efficiency.
The social results of evil habits are
clearly revealed in history. Events
have certainly proven that righteous
ness exalteth a nation but that the
path of wickedness leads to defeat
and death. Ezekiel, who lived and
labored among the exiles in Babylon,
wrote about the sins of his people.
The children of Israel had formed the
habits of forgetting and disobeying
God, of disregarding ethical princi
ples and of participating in various
kinds of evil practices.
As a result of their sins, Jerusalem
was razed, the beloved Temple des
poiled and desecrated, and the Israel
ites themselves were driven into
exile in Babylon. The prophet de
clared that the Lord had made their
land a desolation because of the
abominations which they had com
mitted. The only promise that he
could give them was that “If the
wicked turn from his wickedness and
do that which is lawful and right, he
shall live thereby ” (Ezek. 33: 19).
We should watch ourselves very
closely realizing that if it is possible
for us to form habits which are help
ful and uplifting among our fellow
men, then we shall need to form the
habits of worship, work, kindness,
honesty and sincerity. Such habits
as these help us to resist temptations,
to be steadfast, and to be dependable.
Such habits as cheating lyilng
and moral dishonesty are impedi
ments to noble living and to every
kind of high endeavor.
The test of character is conduct,
and our conduct is controlled by our
habits, good or bad. William. James
declared that ninety-nine hundredths
of our activity is purely automatic
and habitual, from our rising in the
morning until our lying down to sleep
each night- Therefore, the formation
of good habits should be clearly ap
parent.
Jesus declared “Ye shall know them
■by their fruits. (Matt. 7, 16- 20i).
While we may pretend for a while and
deceive some people, in the long run
our habits will betray us if they are
not what -they should be. Jesus also
declared that his true disciple does
the will of the Father, and his moral
behaviour is like salt and light—salt
that saves from corruption and light
that shines in the darkest places,
bringing brightness and cheer.
The world is judging Jesus Christ
by the lives and habits of Christians.
Let us examine ourselves closely and
see just what picture of Christ we are
portraying to the world Jesus had
the habit of prayer—of regularly and
often communing with his Heavenly
Father. Do you (have this habit?
Jesus regularly attended the services
in the synagogues and joined in rev
erent worship of prayer and praise.
Do you? Jesus formed the habit of
sympathetic understanding and help
fulness, sharing the burdens others
were bearing, performing acts of
kindness everywhere as they present
ed themselves. Have you formed this
habit?

THREE-DECKER PULLMAN
BERTHS
We’ve had the three-decker sand
wich and the three-decker bus and
. ... now we are about to get
I the three-decker railroad
fry berth.

I The Pullman company
is turning out a combina
tion coach-sleeper that will
VM Ml have the berths in three
ft I 1 layers: lower, upper and
/ stratosphere.

JK X Through the new car the
Pullman company carries
’* th® art concealing
plumbing to new heights.
< I If There are almost as many
fixtures hidden under one
seat as you will find in most
plumbers’ supply windows.
• ♦ *
The new car is a de luxe coach
without the conventional center
aisle. The aisle is now about three
points to starboard. There are
accommodations for 45 passengers.
Nothing more than the appearance
of the porter with a few mysterious
motions is necessary to eliminate
the seats and substitute the ground
floor, mezzanine and terrace berths.

It has everything but elevator
service between bunks.

When all three occupants desire
to go to bed at once there is no
problem. But it will become a mat
ter for the American Railroad asso
ciation, the RFC, the SEC and the
sundry private and federal agencies
when one man wants to turn in and
the other two want to play rummy.
Elmer Twitchell’s chief concern is
that he will be in a lower on a rough
road when two fellows in the uppers
have breakfast in bed.

The modernization of railroad cars

And what the roads have done to
the dining cars is nobody’s business.
They even have hostesses in ’em.
She’s the brunette who, when you
enter all alone, holds up her index
finger and asks, “One?” This shows
how dizzy those diners are. We hope
that whatever happens the roads
don’t put on three-decker diner
tables.
Mussolini’s attitude may be
described as that of a man who
is working hard for peace with
both fists.

THE GULL AND THE
EARTHQUAKE
A seagull, tired out from a long
journey, flew toward land and light
ed on a crag, but as it happened an
earthquake occurred at that identi
cal moment. To the dismay of the
little bird the whole line of rocky
cliffs seemed to tremble suddenly,
lift upward and then collapse be
neath him.
At this the gull flapped his wings
and flew back to sea as fast as he
could, screaming tragically: “See
the evil thing I’ve done! ... I lit on
the crag for a moment, and as a
result I’ve wrecked the whole coast
line!”
His companions consoled him as
best they could. “I don’t think I’d
take all the responsibility,” they
said gently. “There was an earth
quake, too, you know.”

EDUCATION FOR OUR ELDERS
People are always writing articles
on how to bring up children. Why
doesn’t someone get real coura

bring up parents?

The other night “Moonlight Ser
