JIM CROW POPS UP IN U. N.
HOUSING
Lake Success. The old nuissance,
Jim Crow, has come up to worry
the much worried United Nations
officials here. U. N. Heads are
about to sublet to its employees
912 apartments in the Metropoli
tan's Peter Cooper Village and
New York Life’s Fresh Meadows
Project in Flushing, New York.
But in the agreement between
members of the Settlement and the
companies, the landlords have the
right to reject tenants ’not found
suitable.’ As far as the U- N. is
concerned, according to Byron
Price, Assistant Secretary Gener
al, “The Secretariat does not as
sume that this clause implies racial
discrimination.” He went further to
cite the United Nations charter.
But the well known lily white at
titude of the Insurance companies
involved may cause the term ‘suit
ability' to conveniently ‘jim crow.’

BEING LOYAL TO TRUE
RELIGION
LESSON TEXT—I Kings 18:20,21.30-39.
MEMORY SELECTION—Hear me, O
Lord, hear me, that this people may
know that thou art the Lord God, ana
that thou hast turned their heart back
again.—I Kings 18:37.
God meets the challenge of uni
belief and sin through the ages in
its different forms. In the days of
Elijah it was the awful power of
the false religion of Baal which
threw its pall of heathenish im
morality over the people.
The prophet was God’s man of
courage in a day of unbelief and
sin. To be courageous means to
steadily meet perils of which one Is
deeply conscious, doing so because
of the call of duty. Courage holds
a deeper and nobler meaning than
bravery, carrying with it the idea
of moral strength and, in the case
of the Christian, faith in God as one
devoted to his cause.
The account of the conflict with
the prophets of Baal on Mount
Carmel is a dramatic and instruc
tive story. It shows that when God’s
man meets God’s enemy there is an
open, above-board, honest victory.
I. Nothing Hidden tw. 20-21, 30).
The appeal to Israel cut no cor
ners and made no compromises.
They must choose between the true
God and the false Baal. They could
not hold to both or halt between two
opinions. The same is true today of
our relationship to Jesus Christ.
The direct challenge at Mount
Carmel follows the same pattern
of out-in-the-open dealing with the
problem.
Men whose deeds are evil love
darkness rather than light. God
does not have to work in the dark.
All of his workings are in the open
sunlight. Everyone is welcome to
“come near’’ and see what is done.
Elijah knew God and he acted
like God’s man. What a tragedy it
is that not all of God’s servants
have followed his example. If we
had the open and above-board deal
ings of Elijah in the affairs of our
churches, we might see more of the
fire and power of his ministry.
Certain it is that the administra
tion of church affairs which has to
De carried out in hidden corners by
whispered conversations and by
secret manipulations behind tne
scenes is not God’s work at all, it is
the work of man.
n. No Favors Asked (w. 33-35).
Elijah rebuilt the altar himself.
He asked no help of the unbelieving
prophets of Baal or of apostate
i Israel. How old-fashioned he seems
In this day when so much stress is
jjaid on a false unity of the faiths,
»nd there is so much solicitation
and acceptance by the church of
the help of unbelievers in financing
the supposed work of God.
Note also that Elijah invited his
enemies to make the answer to his
prayer more difficult by pouring
water on the sacrifice. This was not
Bn act of bravado: it was for the
purpose of demonstrating that there
was no fraud. He was willing that1
the enemies of the truth should make|
the demonstration more difficult if
that would be to God's glory.
There is a delightful old-fashioned
flavor about that act, too. in these
days when men are frequently will
ing to compromise with unbelief
and even with sin, in order that the
work of the church may be carried
on without too much difficulty. Here
again we have an explanation of
the lack of spiritual power in our
times.
The victory which came was a
glorious testimony to the living
reality and the infinite power of
God. It left
III. No Glory to Man (vv. 30b-32,
B6-39).
A man of bravery usually wants
recognition for himself, while the
courageous man asks only that the
cause for which he fights shall be
successful.
Elijah had long since demon
Istrated that he was absolutely fear
less, and sought no favor or glory
(read the entire story). Now in th#
tenseness of this moment, he care
fully rebtiilds the altar of the true
God (v 30), makes it a testimony of
unity to a divided Israel (v. 31),
pnd he does it all in the name of:
the Lord (v. 32).
His prayer (vv. 36. 37) Is a pro
foundly simple expression of a com
plete faith in the true God and his,
power, on the part of a man who
recognized himself as being only
the divine servant. He made no,
plea that God would vindicate him,
or his ministry, but he did plead:
that the name of the Lord should
be honored tn the midst of an un
believing people.
“The fire of the Lord fell.” The><
lying prophets of heathendom were
routed. Many recognized Jehovah
as the true God. While Israel did
pot long remember the lesion
learned here, the story ha» con
tinued as a testimony that will
Strengthen the people of God tt
long as time continues.

State’s Tavern
Conditions Still
Further Improved
To a greater extent than ever
before, Nebraska tavern
owners keep their places clean 1
and wholesome, and conduct
them in an orderly, reputable
r way.
' These dealers have come to
know it is good business to
avoid practices or conditions ;
I that could be objectionable to j
the public, and to guard against
1 law infractions such as sales
to minors or intoxicated per
sons, and to refuse to tolerate
noisy or boisterous conduct.
By constantly improving their
standards, these dealers have
earned high rating with leaders
in the beer industry—and with
the public. It is their well
merited reward.
These improved conditions are
partly the result of the Ne
braska Committee’s program
of Self-Regulation, now in its
9th year. This program is
aimed at still further improve
ment. The Nebraska Commit- 1
tee solicits public cooperation
to that end.
