OMAHA BIBLE FORUM Our last lesson closed with a metaphor of a harvest. There the wicked were compared to rice and corn ready for the harvest. Our present lesson, Revelations, 15th chapter, acquaints us with a fresh vision which St. John had of pouring forth of the vials or the inflicting of the seven last plagues and judgements of the world. By the last plague we un derstand the last dreadful judg ments which should be inflicted, which would make a final end of He, whoever he be, that they should be poured forth upon one after another. Where observe, how the patien ce, forbearance and long suffer ing goodness of Hod, is wonder fully seen in his mercy toward sinners. Though He punishes the wicked sometimes to let them see that His justice is not asleep. The visionary scene farther shows the full cup of joy for them who had gotten the victory over Beast, and over his image, and over his mark and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass having the harp of God. And they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb. Who shall ont fear Thee? Oh. Lord, and glorify thy name. For Thou, only art hold.

Last Sunday was a very success ful quarterly meeting day at St. John. A very beautiful picture was to be seen on Lake and 24th, Streets from 9:15 to 10 o’clock a. ,m. Under a clear blue sky and a bright sunshine one could see the boys and girls rushing to their different Sunday schools. At St. John the attendance was very good, but we always feel it could be just a little better. As last Sunday was quarterly meeting day, Rev. Brooks, the presiding elder preached a very impressive and practical sermon. Rev. Brooks gave many good thoughts to be remembered, some of which are as follows: “We, as Christians should re spect God enough to show great respect for those sent out to preach, for he knew the Gospel should be preached throughout all the world. We can not please God without Faith. No preacher or anyone else will be very suc cessful without the gift of God. No one can preach unless God sends him to do so. The congregation cannot help their minister by doing the things that will discourage him. But they can help to make him strong by showing more appre ciation of the work he is trying IU uu. In the afternoon Rev. Calhoun, of Cleaves Temple, preached a very fine sermon in which was ! much food for the hungry soul. Rev. Calhoun seemed to be at his best. The sick of the church are Mrs. |S.

Bearer The Secret of National Happiness (For the Literary Service Bureau Text: Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord.—Psalm 144:15. The people of the world are seek ing happiness However much they may be mistaken in their definition of happiness and their methods by which to attain it. they are search ing for it. The secret of happiness is in this text. Making the Lord their God and fol lowing His teachings, people will emulate His attitude of love and sympathy for mankind- Following these teachings a nation will deal fairly with all other nations and be saved from the strife and war which selfishness and unfairness will bring. Also, they will live in keeping with His will instead of striving against it. This cessation of struggle and surrender to His power will result in contentment— and happiness. The Lord has blessed this nation. Applicable to it is the Biblical decla ration concerning Israel, that ‘ He hath not dealt so with any nation.” This nation even now is beset with fears. It fears uprising at home and another world war into which it may be drawn. Criminal gangs have sent fear into the hearts of many. And the only hope for peace and hap piness lies in living in keeping with the laws of God and surrender to His Will. Proverbs and Parables By A. B Mann War Is Hell (For the Literary Service Bureau) This saying is attributed to Gen eral Sherman, and has been used for many years- It is literally true? If ‘ hell” means torture, suffering, sor row, then the saying is true. If it be interpreted to mean that the ac tivities, the atrocities, the horrors and the inhumanities of war are all hell-inspired, then I am in concur rence with the declaration. Finally if retribution is to overtake the per petrators of these crimes against civ ilization, then this retribution must be like the torments of hell This is a good time and Indepen dence Day a good occasion for con sideration of this vital subject of war and peace aad resolve to make aa end of war. Hillside to Celebrate Pastors’ Anniversary Sunday. July 7, will mark six years of service by Rev. and Mrs. J. S- Williams at the Hillside Pres byterian church. 30th and Ohio streets. Numerically, there seems perhaps, nothing to boast about, al though the membership has been in creased from twenty-four in 1929 to forty-four at the present time, with many others moved away and oth ers, who have passed on. The Hillside church is doing con structive Christian work. Our slogan is “Building a New World.” There is no doubt that although, numeri cally, it is one of the smallest church es in the city, yet, spiritually, edu cationally and intellectually its in tellectually its influence is being felt all over the state of Nebraska and elsewhere It is no more a church ‘iJust Heard of” but it is a fact in the lives of all Omahans. who frequently resoit to it for something tnat satisfies. The local committee and the Pres bytery of Omaha, under whose Jur isdiction the church falls, are quite proud of the progress of the church and rejoice in the good work that the members are performing.

ALTA VESTA A GIRL’S PROBLEMS By Videtta Ish (For The Laterary Service Bureau) My Dear Child:—Your letter sur prised me and it makes me happy. I am surprised at your ability to think as you wrote and happy to know how your mind is improving. No, I shall not be “mad”, (you mean angry,) be cause you ask questions I want you to ask questions when you do not ex actly understand. Now about the lttle girls. The in formation is what I expected. You see, Alta Vesta, in all that God has made, in plants and fruits, flowers and ani mals, children will be like their par ents. This they call heredity. It means that children of bad parents are very apt to be bad, and it is much harder for them to be good than it is for children of good parents, be cause the bad is bom in them It is just a part of them. This being true, it is not wise to associate with such individuals for fear we might become like them Then, my dear, it does matter whato people think of us and any of us. This you will understaad better when you are older I’ll consider w'hat you say about things for Easter. Love to you and Aunt Cornelia. Your Father AN APPEAL TO AMERICA By R. A.

America, forbear to sing “Land of the free, home of the brave,” Till every economic slave Shall freedom gain. A lesser thing, While these for justice plaintive cry, Will make thy song an arrant lie! America, be not a fool, Stupid and blind! Seest not Thou Thy coming doom? Look! even now, * • While rope and torch and faggot rule, Prophetic of thy certain fall, A ‘hand is writing on the wrall.” America, one hope for Thee Remaineth—and one hope, alone: For guilt and sin Thou must atone, According to Divine Decree, And ruin dire to eircumvent In dust and ashes must repent. John M. Ross Gets Degrees From Yale and Morehouse Atlanta, Ga., June 27—Special— To John McLinn Ross, of New Haven. Connecticut, associate director of the Atlanta University Summer Theater, goes the unusual distinction of re ceiving this month two collegiate de grees for work done in institutions as far apart as Connecticut and Georgia. On Wednesday, June 19, Mr. Ross received the degree of Master of fine Arts from Yale Uni versity for completion of work in the department of drama of the Yale School of Fine Arts. This degree followed by two weeks the conferr ing of the bachelor of arts degree by Morehouse College for completion of his undergraduate studies. Mr. Ross spent three years as a student in Yale University where he completed his requirements for the master’s degree in the department of the drama with play directing as his major. The master’s degree was withheld until he had completed his undergraduate work and received his bachelor’s degree. He finished his work at Morehouse College in one year and received his degree on June 4. At Yale University, where he was enrolled from 1931 to 1934, he worked under the late George Pierce Baker, famed founder of the "47 workshop” a Harvard and later professor of drama at Yale, as well as with Dr. Baker’s successor, Professor Allar dyce Nicoll, and Profesor Alexander Dean. As a student at Yale Mr.: Ross played the lead in three major productions, including Eugene O’Neills's “Emperor Jones” and two original plays, “Beware of the Bull,” and * Done Got Over.” He was tech-1 nical director for four poductions I that were set up entirely in eleven days time. He was assistant in light ing in the remarkable revival of Ot ways “Venice Preservad,” and as his thesis he directed the production of an original play, ‘ More Died Than Men” by Paul Triechler, now profes sor of playwriting at Antioch Col lege, Yellow Springs, Ohio. Before entering Yale Mr. Ross served in the theater, playing with j Dixwell Players at New Haven from 1929 to 1931.

AMERICAN INCONSISTENCIES By R. A. Adams (For the Literary Service Bureau) To a certain Chinaman is attribut ed the statement: “Melican people elect gleat monument over the grave of George Washiton, who never tell a lie, but Melican people go light ‘long an’ lie like hellee, ev’ly time.” And this is just one of the many in consistencies of this proud, boasting nation, Approache Independence Day. We will commemorate the founding of the nation and the issuing of the Declaration of Independence. Eulo gies will be delivered in honor of the intrepid spirit of the founders of the Republic. This instrument be gins with the declaration that ‘ all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with cer tain unalieniable Rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness.” Note the “all men;” and the term ‘ unalienable Rights,” and these are conceded to be Divine endowments In the Independence Day speeches, much will be said of the Constitu tion. Appeals will be made to stand by the Constitution. The contro versy between the New Deal and the Supreme Court concerning property rights which the New Deal would violate. But what about human rights ? The Constitution provides ! that a citizen shall not be “deprived of life, liberty without the due pro- ! cess of law. ” Another provision of the Constitution is that ‘ the right of citizens to vote shall not be abridged nor denied by the United States nor by any State on account of race, color rr previous condition of servitude.” But, while these principles of justice and equity are recognized, in theory, in practice in this country they have become “a scrap of paper ” Until these human rights are rec ognized and sustained in reference to all classes of citizens, the speeches extolling the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Contitution of the United States will be but mockeries. Organist Wins High Honor Hampton Institute, Va., June 27.—Ernest Haygood Hays, organ ist and associate professor of Music Appreciation and Harmony in the College here, has just been notified that as a result of ah examination taken by him, he has been admitted as an associate member to the American Guild of Organists in the United States and Canada. This examination and result followed Mr. Hay’s recent election as a colleague in the Guild, the first step to be taken to render a musician eli gible to the examination. The examination was passed with a high rating. On its face this new's may not appear significant to the layman; but it has special importance to persons who are familiar with the Guild named above, organized in 1896, and merged with the Na tional Association of Organists, January 1, 1935. This latter body is better known to laymen through “The Musical World,” its official organ. Among the main objects of the American Guild of Organists are the following: To advocate the cause of worthy church music; to ra«se the standard or eliiciency or organists by examination in prac tical organ playing and to grant certificates of Fellowship, Asso ciateship and Choi mastership to members of the Guild who pass such examinations. These examinations are author ized hv the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and consists of “Tests at the Organ,’’ and “Paper Work Tests.’’ The tests are rigid in the extreme, but they assure to the public that persons who success fully pass them are competent and fully justified in claiming to be organists of highest profession al qualifications. The professional background of Mr. Hays indicates that hi.s admission to the Guild is based on efficient preparation and com tinuous exercise in his given field. He is a graduate of the New Eng land Conservatory of Music, class of 1916; holds the degree of Bachelor of Music from the Boston University College of Music; studied organ in Boston under the late Henry M. Dunham. Harris Shaw, and Nadia Boulang er in Paris. To this he has added Help Kidneys ^ If poorly functioning Kidneys and Bladder make you suffer from Getting Up Nights. Nervousness.
