Matthew 5 8: Philip pian* 4 8 MEMORY SET FCTION — Keep thy Itiri Pith all d>'.iceace: far out ol it are the issues cl tile —proverb* 4:23. Moral corruption has been the ruin ot the great rations of the earth, and if history is not to be repeated by the fall of our own nation, we must do something—yes. something prompt and drastic. The breakdown of morals in our land is so evident ar.d so widespread as to give grave concern to social and national lead ers. What then, is the Church doing about it? We do nut Ike to talk about adul tery and related sins. We must speak with care and tact, but per haps the time has come for some straightforward dealing with an un- J pleasant situation. I. Keep i'our Home Pure (Exod. j 20:14*. As the divinely appointed center of man’s life, the home holds a place of such importance that it is the special target of Satan's offen sive- That has always been true, but it seems that in recent years Cie onslaught against the home has been intensified. Any violation cf the divine plan for the mar.iage of tne man and one woman, in loving con munion for the founding and maintenance of the home, is a direct violation of the law of God. It i* also a violation of the law of man It brings serious results in the destruction of the home, and in the ruin of individual life—physical, moral and spiritual. This awful sin land do not let a w-iched world convince you that it is anything else) is back of much of the discord and divorce in our American homes. When we re»hye that in the City of Chicago there is new one divorce for every three marriages, and that the ratio is rapidly becoming low er. there can be no qiesttasi that divorce is a ma*or evii la our day. Statistics m pos. ivr'v shocking, but they are cold and t ic!;ijr forgot ten.

Statistics reveal that 1 now *1944) more than 70 per cent I of the juvenile delinquents and | young people committed to prison j come from homes where divorce | has entered to break down and de- j Stroy family life. II. Keep Your Heart Pure (Prov. 4:14-23. Matt 5 8) Out of the heart are the issues of life * Prov. 4 23); hence it is of the utmost importance that it be kept in purity and devotion to God. The heart in Scripture does not refer to the physical organ which circulates the blood, but even as that heart is the center of the physical life, so there is a spiritual heart which i» the very center of man's | inner being Evil thoughts, unholy desires and ambit ons hidden in the heart will ulitrr .• ly be revealed in overt acts of ungodliness, unless God is permit ted to regenerate that heart and make it clean. The solution for the problem of Impurity .» found in our lesson verses. First of all one must avoid the way of the wicked ) Prov. 4 14 17). They are so evil that they can n t sleep until they have misled s me poor souls and brought them c vn to their own level <v. 16). They make sin and immorality look r "ste: >us and attractive.

Schauland, Pastor Little Jack was building a toy village. When he had all the build ings and trees and shrubs arrang ed he said, ‘ Look, daddy; see my village”. His father looked ud from his newspaper and said, “Its a good-looking village son, but I don't see the church”. “No”, said Jack, "it was so crowded that 1 left it out”. Well then, replied the father, "you’ll have to take out that fine hispital. and this old folk's home, the school too. These institutions do not exist where there is no church.” As the father removed these buildings, the little boy cried. "Oh daddy, you’re spoiling the whole village”. “I’m spoiling it?” asked the father ini amazement. ‘Why, son, you spoil-! ed it when you left out the church.! Wherever you go you'll find that no village, without a house of wor ship. is worth much”.

Harris SAINTS AND DEVILS By Kermit Ebv, Director of Education and Research, CIO It's a funny thing: “Jimcrow has come to be synonymous with “dis crimination”—and yet crows don’t discriminate! To them all men are devils! This I learned in a Korean rice field. There some farmers had con structed a scarecrow with red hair, blue eyes and a dead white face. The crow avoided the field as scrupulously as they avoided my father’s corn field in Indiana where scarecrows were always constructed with black hair and black faces. Yet the Korean scare crow looked as little frightening to me as did the picture of blonde saints on our Sunday School walls. Thus I learned another thing: We fashion our saints in our own im age and our devils in the image of strangers. This was further impressed on me when travelling in China the children pointed at me, yelling “foreign devil”. “Why ‘devil’?” I asked my translator. The answer: Because I have a big nose: only devils and foreigners had big no ses in China. I should have learned this les son long before I did. But it had not dawned on me that time when I was a little boy and got to know Mosie Wolfberg. Our farm was some distance from the shopping center, and all the farm people depended on Mosie’s monthly trips for various and sundry items: needles and thread, buttons and shoelaces, ginghams and calicos. Down the road from the town, Mo sie would trudge, his pack on his back, his face expressionless. I did not know what a Jew was then but I knew that Mosie was foreign to the Indiana people I knew. He had a very long nose, sad eyes and a strange accent. My sister and I were terrified of him until the day when digging down into the very bottom of his my sterious bag, he brought forth a stick of candy, broke it in half, and shyly offered the pieces to us two. From then on. a proven friend. wre looked forw'ard to his visits with affectionate interest. I was dismayed when I revisited Indiana in 1945 to find intolerance where there had been a spirit of live-let-live. For the first time out there I heard the rantings of an ant(-semite. This frightened me more than I had ever been fright ened by our old peddles. And it takes more than a half stick of candy to establish my faith now. Having learned so thoroughly through my own experience how childish such prejudices are, I be lieve that the people of all na tions, all races and all creeds must grow up and stop playing the silly game of imagining foreigners, or those different from themselves in any way, to be devils-landsmen and co-religionists to be saints. __apa _ The Week By H.

Appearing as summer guest speaker on the International Lutheran Hour over the Mutual Broadcasting System and affiliated stations. Chaplain Piepkorn asserted: “Man’s determination to build his world without God is nothing new. Even in its modern form it can be traced back through four centuries to the Renaissance. About a hundred years ago. however, roughly three generations, it received a tremendous fillip through the nineteenth century upsurge of tech nical knowledge about the world in which we live. The ability to control at least partially forces of nature that less scientific ages had piously referred to the inscrutable wisdom of God turned out to be a heady intoxicant for many otherwise very intelligent men. Be-1 lief in God began to be treated as a kind of treason to ssience, and | every conviction that could not be tested in a laboratory, or weighed I in a pair of balances, or reduced to a mathematical formula, or J seen in a microscope, or discovered through a telescope, was decried as an infamous heresy and as a relic of spiritual slavery which must | be destroyed posthaste.” Chaplain Piepkorn continued: “Consider a moment that glorious J basis for your pardon: “The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanseth us from all sins.” In that sentence is the whole of the Gospel, the unabridged and unabbreviated good news of the grace i of God in Christ Jesus. Christmas is in that sentence, with its mes sage of the Eternal Word made flesh in the divine and human natur es of the single Person of the Virgin’s Child. In it is His nameless Agony in the Garden, His precious atoning death upon the cross, and the somber burial that attested the final and perfect comleteness of His sacrifice. In it is the precious blood of the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. In it is the price of YOUR redemption. ust. The Senate approved it on the 15th of July.
