URGES RETURN OF BIBLE INTO THE CHURCH AND HOME

prayer meeting. you think it's doins
good.
| Music! Well. the Lord pity us when
the music is not for the praise of God!
Some people sing for compliments
some for show, some for money. Oh!
my friends, when you get to heaven
you will be surprised to find out how
+ many people have been pushed into
the pearly gates and pulled through
by the memory of some song! Oh
sor man IS mighty TfEsrs II 4 Is s;r ~
row that 1t cannot alleviate: there is
no JOY that 1t cannot exalt in the
world! And hence the military COM
mander, and the dramatist, and the
reformer--they have all seen the
value and they have pressed into
service music--the battle hymns OF
, nations have done as much to arouse
and stir as the orations. my friends,
of men and more. too.
When all other arts fail. song has
brought back reason to many a tot
tering mind, and God In every age
has employed song as one of the
means to advance his cause against
the forces of evil.
II is significant fact that in the
days of witchcraft in New England
religion declined to it's lowest point
and the singing in the churches-oh
it was almost intolerabie, Today---to-
day so into the average church-your
own church singing LIS done by
four paid mem bers. stuck up in the
choir loft. The scst of you sit there
like bumps on a log and religion is
at a low ebb all over the land today.
When Rodehaver asks you to sing,
get busy! / sing the same tune to all
pieces. l can only sing two tunes
one is Yankee Doodle, and the other
is But do something for God and
for his cause.
A mother strolled out with a little
girl and sitting down under n tree
she drowsily nodded and fell asleep.
The little one romped away to the
edge of a precipice, chasing the but
tertlies and picking the flowers and
when her mother awakened, looking
about she saw her down on her knees
peeking down over 1900 feet into the
yawning abyss below. She was afraid
TO cry out lest 1t might frighten her.
and she'd leap over; and so. with a
prayer in her heart and a song on her
lips, she started to sing low and sweet
her familiar hymn. And the little
girl, hearing tho strains of her
mothers song arose, turned around
and with open arms she came hfpptty-
mop paCK from the yaWptng ABYSS.
You will never know until you get
to heaven how many people have been
pulled out of the saloons. houses of
ill-fame--lifted by the power of song.
For sixteen years they'd not been
singing because of this old devil--old
Ahaz. Now / am just finishing the in
PRODUCTION to the serrnon--here is the
sermon: Don't get excited--it only
takes me two minutes to preach the
sermon.
Ahaz on the throne. a scoundrel an
idoiater, worshtpping idols He died.

TO do with It. he would have died
quicker than he did. He died. Heze-
kiah. his son, became king. He had
an old reprobate for n dad but he had
a good mother. and for sixteen years
his old daddy had shut up the temple
the priests didn't offer any Offering
no song-no worship of God--for six
teen years they had been following
the devil.
So Hezekiah came to the throne.

Now" he said to the priests
"kindle the fire." and they killed the
sacrifice, put 1t on the altar and light /
ed the fire, and when the burnt OFFER
ing began, the song OF the Lord be-
gan. There had been no Offering fer5
sixteen years and there had been MOI
SOM for sixteen years. But as soong
as they began their sacrifice to God
then they began to sing. And thes
people that were outside and couIdn,tE

was going on. They hadn't hearas
anything like that for sixteen years
They said What does 1t all mean VI
Everybody's going to the tabernacHo.s

commenced to sine--then they started
out and they were units everywhere
they went, and their faces were
singing, "oh. the blessing of God has
come back for the priests are offering
an Offering upon the altar" and
everybody in the whole city OF Jeru-s
salem was singing.
Then HeZekiah sent the people out.
and they went out, and wherever old
Ahaz and wherever the people used tot
meet in parks. under the trees, there
he had built an altar 10 these strange5
gods and they chopped down theI
trees. they took the affairs down and
they broke them and smashed therr
and cast them in the rivers, In thel
creeks. Oh. the rubbish heaps, and
they destroyed every last vestige of
those old days. and the whole nation
began to sing.
Oh, go home. Clean out your

DON'T EXPECT BIG PRICE DROP
board Says Indications Are They
VIII Not Fall Much.

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Prices may
not be expected to drop much in the
near future, according 20 indications OF
reports reaching the Federal Reserve
Board. The boards bulletin for May
says that apparently the business COM
munity has given UP the thought that II
may await profitably further consider
able reduction in prices and contends
itself with trade development along
lines dependent on. at least, temporary
maintenance of existing levels
Although prices OF a few basic com.
modities have fallen slightly. such de.
clines have not been effected in retail
prices, says the review.
What Is now happening" II adds
"seems to indicate that business will
after a period of initial readjustment in
prices, proceed upon a level not far re-
moved from that established during the
war"

America IL the hope OF the world to-day
and that II the bankers and business men

portunity the outlook would be a bright
one But he pointed out with emphasis
the need OF cooperation.
Europe has got to be looked Mt az a

must concern themselves over the recon-
struction of Europe. but business men
