Lon Sullivan, Director of Vol
unteer Service has announced
that there is a very serious pro
blem with reference to absen
teeism in the textile industry,
and that in some textile mills,
the absenteeism rate ran as high
as 60 or 70 per cent. The Wai
Production Board has said tba„
we will be 2 billion yards of clo’h

is done about absenteeism. Thu

Democratic State Executive
Comittee Chairman Lon Duck
worth is fully justified in his de
cision "to recommend to the
committee that anyone who
wants to qualify us a candidate in
the next Democratic primary
must make an affidavit that he
supported the regular Democra
tic ticket in the November elec
tion."
There seems little doubt, an
alyzing the complete picture, but
that the Republicans, under wily
Herbert Browned, party
chairman, are using the Gesrgin
issue as a means of attracting
Negro votes in northan states.
For those anti Roosevelt Demo
crats who have indeed endeavor

their candidates tor election
would be merged on the Republi
can ticket, we have naught but

ISRAEL’S FIRST KING
LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 9:15-21; 10:25-
27; 11:1215.
GOLDEN TEXT—Honor all men. Love
the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
—I Peter 2:17.
“Well begun is half done," says
the old proverb, reminding us of the
importance ’of a good beginning.
While it does not guarantee success
(see next week’s lesson), it is emi
nently desirable, and truly helpful.
Israel had foolishly tired of being
a God-ruled nation and had begun
to demand a king.
Samtiel was directed of God to the
man of His choice, Saul, in a very
remarkable way. He entered upon
his service as king as an obedient
and earnest ruler. (Would God that
he had continued in that way!)
We note a number of favorable
elements which indicated the possi
bility of a successful reign. He
was--
I. Wanted by the People (9:15,
16).
A ruler forced upon a nation is
sure of opposition, but here the peo
ple were clamoring for a king to rule
over them. The way was wide open
to the interest and the affection of
their hearts. Saul was just the type
to please them. Physically he ,was
head and shoulders above the people
—a desired thing in a ruler (sea
10:23). He was mentally fitted (10:
25)—humble (9:21), spiritually right
(10:6-9), tolerant and Kindly (11:13),
and a good military leader (ch. 11).
11. Chosen by God (9:17).
All these qualities commended
Saul to God as well as to the people.
In fact, he was God’s choice. A
man could not enter upon high of
fice with -any more auspicious token
for good. *
Observe that what looked like a
purely chance visit to Samuel, when
Saul was on business for his father,
was the occasion for the making
known of God’s choice. Out of a
simile experience in daily life came
an event which changed his entire
destiny.
111. Anointed by the Prophet (9:
18-20).
The man of God’s choice had met
God’s man, Samuel, who proceeded
to instruct him, and to privately
anoint him as king. It was a tender
scene. The aged prophet, rejected
by the people as God’s ruler over
them, quietly and sweetly obeyed
God’s command to anoint the young
man’to be king.
Public recognition, which came
later, was important, but, with Saul
as with every servant of the Lord,
the personal anointing of God, in the
hidden place of communion with
Him, was the matter of highest im
portance.
IV. Humble in Attitude (9:21).
That pride, which was ultimately
to be Saul’s downfall, was beauti
fully absent at the beginning of his
reign. Although of good family, and
well-equipped, he saw himself as
poor and insignificant, not ready for
such an honor.
That is the right attitude for one
who is to serve God. Pride and self
assurance do hot befit the man who
stands in the presence of the Al
mighty.
V. Guided by Principle (10:25).
Saul did not enter upoh his office,
new as it was to both him and to
Israel, without a Constitution, that
is, without principles of action.
Samuel, the Lord’s prophet, wrote
down “the manner of the kingdom”
in a book. How interesting, and
how important.
Rulers who imagine themselves so
wise that they need no controlling
laws, and so powerful that the law
may not question their decisions,
are certainly not rulers after God’s
plan. Knowing the heart of man,
his weakness and pride, God has
provided true principles by which
the ruler is to be guided, yes and
controlled, .. _

Prosperity
< A toiling tenant farmer with sev
eral children became suddenly
wealthy. A forgotten relative in an
other state died, leaving him a de
sirable plantation; broad, fertile
fields and well built barns. The
family hurried to move and take
possession but, after three years,
.they returned to their former dig
gings as share-croppers. They com
plained that times had been hard;
only one prosperous year. That was
the first year, when they mortgaged
the farm.
It is not uncommon to hear people
say prosperous when they mean
^usA, but the words are not akin;
the ideas are not alike. Squander
■ing borrowed money is not prosperi
ty. It is the enemy of prosperity.
! A thief in an underworld den buying
drinks for the house is flush, not
prosperous. On the other hand, a
thrifty farmer who builds a fertile
field out of an eroded hillside is
prosperous although he may have
no cash.
Punishing the Innocent
There are many prosperous peo
ple in America this year doing con
structive things, helping to hasten
victory and safeguard a lasting
peace. Some are wisely freezing
their good incomes by investing in
war bonds—which amounts to buy
ing dollar bills at 75c apiece for
future delivery. But others are only
flush, foolishly spending cash for
what they consider fun, purchasing
trinkets with little or no post-war
value.
Unwise citizens are not alone to
blame. Our government has set
them an unmistakable example.
Some government departments are
flush, spending recklessly and wast
ing money on things that are worse
than useless; downright harmful to
human freedom. The foolish spend
thrift who wastes his wages will suf
fer for his own prodigal deed, but
it is the prosperous and thrifty in
America who will finally pay for the
blunders of public servants.
Spending Tax Money
By comparison with other coun
tries, the United States is financially
strong but, as a nation, we are not
prospering during the war. Wars,
by their very nature, are destruc
tive and currently we are spending
money about twice as fast as our
taxpayers are supplying it. Sad to
say, it is not all being spent for
liberty and peace. Like the newly
rich sharecropper, we (through ap
pointed agents) have mortgaged our
home and are squandering the
money.
The executive department of the
federal government has a monthly
payroll of 650 million dollars. This
sustains three million employees;
more than three times as many as
were feeding off that department at
the end of World War I.
Baubles, of no account to the war
effort, offering small hope of ever
benefitting more than a few Ameri
cans after the war, include two oil
pipelines on foreign soil; one 135
million dollar experiment in north
ern Canada and a venture in Ara
bia that’s even more costly.
We Are Still Free
Ever since mortal man started re
cording useful lessons of experience
to benefit posterity, the accumulated
wisdom of the ages has warned
against wastefulness. Siphoning off
the wealth of America into remote
places can serve only to weaken
America, for war and for peace
time progress. People who do it ig
norantly are unfit for positions of
public trust, and those who do it
knowingly are far more dangerous.
Swiftly our national debt of 175
billion dollars approaches what used
to be considered the value of the
nation’s real estate. None of us can
prosper in a bankrupt country; taxes
would never permit it. All patriotic
citizens have a grave, mutual prob
lem and look to Congress for its so
lution: This nation must now con
serve its financial strength in order
to prevent insolvency at the close
of the war. '
