LESSON TEXT-Exodus 29;M; Prov

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

parents is nothing compared to
the nervous, moral and spiritual
shock which comes to children in 1
broken homes. 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. Don't be

life is a bright and shining way.

B. It's
great to be a Christian!
III. Keep Y«i*r Head Pure (Phil. ,

The mind of man is quick and '
a-live tli. i if he is really alive j
a j awake>. and it wants to be oc
c. . i.-d with : .nethtng of interest.
Trie w-rW the flesh and the devil

"The Christian Outlook" was
the subject of our ministers morn
ing message Sunday, August 18,
His text was John 4:35 and his
thoughts for the day were as fol
lows: All of the good people in
the world don't live on the boule
vard and all the bad people don't
live in the alleys; As one loses his
or herself in the life and person
ality of Jesus Christ, he or she au
tomatically lifts others; and if any
man takes hold of the flower end
looks back, he is not fit for the
tasks that Jesus Christ has assign
ed him.

H. H. 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”.
Christianity not only saves our
souls, but it also has a wholesome
t upon people and the com
munity in which they live. Many
people refuse to have anything to
do with the church and criticize I

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.

Saint Louis, Missouri, August 25 (Special) A nation-wide ap
peal for a renewed realization of the daning character of sin was
issued today by Chaplain Arthur Carl Piepkorn, (Lieutenant Colon
el), instructor at the Army Chaplains School at Fort Oglethorpe,
Georgia. 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.
