They were never outside their jurisdiction at any time or in any place. His power was absolute, his knowledge was flawless, nothing was hidden from him. But he was not an arbitrary despot, but a God of law, ruling as a constitutional monarch. Only the constitution by which the Creator of the uni verse governed his actions and directed his rule was the consti tution of his own nature. The su preme principles of the kingdom were the characteristics of the King. What were these characteris tics? One was righteousness. The Judge of all the earth did right. All evil doing was an intolerable offense to him. It made no dif ference who did it or when he did it or in what capacity he did it, he who broke the law of righteousness came under the judgment of God. The object of the divine rule was the establish ment of justice in all man’s deal ings with man, and to the ob ject he remained unwaveringly true. Also, however, God was loving. He looked with compassion on all his creatures, on all of them, great and small, high and low. He was no respecter of persons in His love any more tnan in his righteousness. For a man of wealth and power to use his strength to harm the weak was an offence against the righteous ness of God but it was more than that and worse—it was ;> sin against his love. It was an act of supreme treason, combining defiance of right with the be trayal of triuft, for human power is a gift of God, given that the little ones he loves may have the protecting care they need. It is a guardianship over his chil dren by a loving Father to their elder brothers. For their social and political actions men are di rectly responsible to the God of righteousness and love. The God of Isaiah is a univer sal God. All the earth is his, and all nations are subject to him. Mighty Assyria, great Babylon, the ancient power of Egypt, are all ruled by him. Their failure to recognize this means their ruin. They are like men living in arro gant disregard of the fundamental laws by which life is governed, only to learn by hard experience that those laws exist and cannot be defied. Now the God of Isaiah is the God of the Bible. The New Tes^t ment revelation is richer and more complete but it does not deny anything that the great pro phets said about God as all powerful or all-knowing or all loving. Rather it intensifies all they said and makes it all the more searching and insistent. George Adam Smith tells of a British Christian of this sort. “To a large employer of labor, who was complaining that his em ployees, by refusing to live at the level of Belgian workmen, were driving trade from this country, the present writer once | said: ‘Would it not meet your wishes if, instead of your work men being levelled down, the Bel- I gians were levelled up?’ This would make the competition fair ' between you and the employers in Belgium. His answer was, ‘I care not, so long as I get my profits.’ He was a religious man, a liberal giver to his church, and he died leaving more than one hundred thousand pounds.” Yet he was, as Dr. Smith points out, making his money by the waste of the lives of the poor. Now all these ideas of God are alike in this, that they quite ef fectually shut him out of the life of the nation. None of these gods has any real place in the social or political or international life of the world, nor does he claim any. It is quite clear that Isaiah was living in the sight of God who was quite different from these divinities. Advance Sales For Heavyweight Bout Are Good NEW YORK. (ANP). With an advance sale of $100,000 in the ! cash register till the west coast bout between gigantic Pat Valen tine, handsome Italian 200 pound er and world’s champion Ezzard Charles, should gross $40,000 more as the gladiators climb thru the ropes on the very day this reaches your doorstep this month. Like Joe Louis, Charles bars nobody. He is anxious to tangle with the ‘‘bogey men” of the roped arena and will put his coveted title in pawn when the correct financial inducements are made. With the possible exception of Ray Robin son with George Gainford in the background, Ezzard Charles is the hardest-bargainer the fight games has encountered since the days of Noah Brusso, better known as Tommy Burns from whom Jack Johnson won the title back in 1908 at Rushcutters Bay, New Zealand^__ News From Elwood, Kansas By Wilberta Brady Last week was conference week as you all know. Many pastors were given different charges. Needless and happy to say, Bethel still has Rev. M. L. Shakespeare as their pastor. There is much sickness in the community this week. Lavern Greene has the measles. Nolan Tapp is suffering from muscular leg ailments. He is unable to walk. LaDine Watson had the measles last week and was re covering when she tried to start a fire and the stove exploded and burned her face pretty badly. Mr. Millard Botts spent last week end in Kansas City visiting relatives and friends. Elwood high school played baseball with Denton Monday evening. Denton won 8 to 7. El wood high school played Sever ence Wednesday evening. Sever ence won 16 to 11. That wTas the first game Elwood lost during the season. Saturday afternoon, Oct. 9, Hiaw'atha Sextet will render ' services at Bethel A. M. E. at 3 p. m. Everyone is cordially in- : vited. Mr. and Mrs. Coy Williams at tended the First Baptist church Sunday morning. Well that is all for now folks. See you next week. Bert. I I PARRISH MOTOR CO.

Fabric and Parchment shades arrived last September 30th to do demonstrations for Better Homes and Gardens week at Gold & Co. These lovely shades are sold there at all times. Miss Glover, as a repre sentative for the factory, consist ing of mixed nationalities, dem onstrated the work done in the factory in putting the shades to gether. Miss Virginia Boydston had the pleasure of entertaining Miss Glover. She enjoyed her visit here very much and hopes to re turn in the very near future to meet more Lincolnites. Altho she met quite a number of wonderful people, she was sorry she didn’t have more time here. Miss Glover stayed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Stewart, 1939 S street. | Gillett Cream Poultry b Eggs Plenty of Parking Space 528 No. SHb Tel. 2-2901 A Good Place to BUY OR SELL YOUR CAR OR PICKUP Always a large stock to pick from.
