A Nation Needs Religious Homes
Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 11:1S-25, 1or
Sunday. Sept. IL:
Deuteronomy means the seconu
version of the law which through
Moses had been previously given Tue
Israelites. Now before entering the
promised land, Moses relterates I'M
portant precepts.
Va "Hear, o Israel: Jehovah
orr Cod is one Cod AS there is
not room in our thought for two su-
preme principles, so there is not
room for more than one God.
v. 5. "And thou shalt love Je-
hoyah thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy might" God is love. and only
when His love rules does God reign.
Gods love pierces the emotional lie
that He may be loved with the heart.
When the whole nature or man re-
spends to Gods love, may 1t pc salo
that God is loved with "aii tiny
soul" with all our might calls
for the full surrender and action OF
the will. In this verse is found the
key to the Christian religion.
v. Is. "Therefore shall we lay up
these nv words in your heart and in
your soul; and ye shall bind them
for a sign upon your hand, and they
shall be for frontlets between your
ewes" Gods word is worked into
the heart by daily reading, by COM
hitting scripture to memory, by ap-
plying Gods word to the practical
affairs of life, by a constant attempt
to think Gods thoughts and discov-
er the mind of Christ
V.19. "And We shall teach them
to your children, talking OF them,
when thou sittest in the house, and
when thou walkest by the way, ana
when thou liest down, and when
thou risest up Parents have the
grave responsibility of starting their
children right with God when their
lives are plastic and easily nodded.
This is done by constant prayer, in
struction and precept, and setting
before them worthy example.
v. 20. "And thou shalt write
them upon the doorposts of thy
house, and upon thy gates" Reilg-
ion is not to be held secretly, but
must be well expressed, not for
show, but to honor God.
V. 21. "That your days may be
multiplied, and the days of your
children, in the land which Jehovah
sware unto your fathers to give
them, as the days of heaven above
the earth" In all people there is a
heart hunger for home life,
home land, where religious freedom
may be exercised, which was we'll
demonstrated in our early history
Civilization rises on the God-con-
sciousness of it's people.

A Nation Needs Religious Homes,
Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 11:1S-25, for
Sunday, Sept. 12:
Why are people SO shy in talking
about religion?
What are some of the ways in
which religion may be more promi-
Inent in the home?
How do we really show that we
love God?
What is the influence of Chris
tian homes on the national life?
How can we take our religion out
on the street?
Glorious says: Every act of obed-
fence helps to crystalline the soul
into truth and right. When this
process is complete, the soul lives
the laws of life with unconscious
ease and perfection"
Lesson prayer: 1--WE would love
God SO supremely that the natural
expressions of our lives in the home,
on the street, in business. and in
society would be naturally relig-
ions -

gently keep all the commandment
which ! command you, to do it, to
love Jehovah your God, to walk in
all His ways and to cleave unto
them, then will Jehovah drive out
all these nations before you The
way OF progress is by strict obed-
lence to the Will of God. There
may be much to overcome and the
way may seem an impossible one,
but there is strength in the Lord for
every obstacle. There is no place
for pessimism when walking with
COD. In the history of the world,
progressive steps are made. The
ruthless and barbaric have been al
lowed but with the raising of stand
ards, higher laws are evolved. The
driving out of land, of natives of
that land, is being abhorred. We
now dlsdaln ourselves for the way
We treated the Indians. There is a
feeling that Italy was wrong in her
recent treatment of Ethiopia.
V. "a. Every place whereon the
sole OF your foot shall tread, shall
be yours They had to put their
feet down upon it and make it
theirs by this footprint title. This
is the way in which we come into
our possessions. No one can buy
his education, he must work for it.
While some inherit their homes, the
ideal way is to work for them, and
then they will be best appreciated.
V. 25. "There shall no man be
able to stand before you When a
man walks with God and at the
same time works with God, always
being at his best, there is nothing
that will defeat him. When this
program becomes the program of
nations, ali wars will cease, as all
will be walking as one big family
with God and for God.

HITLER LOSING FACE?

ANDOVER, N. J., August 2 lEp,-A
steady accumulation of Americana on
the walls OF Camp Nordland's admin
lstration building was noted TODAY bv
visitors to the German American
Bund's camp in the Sussex hills.
Hitherto adorned almost entirely
with a picture of Hitler, the building
now carries old American newspapers
and other articles portraying major
events IN the history of the United
States.
Opening of the camp recently amid
martial display, "heils" and Fascist
salutes resulted in protests by veter-
ans and other groups against alleged

Il understand" he cried. "You
don't love me. That's the answer"
You know that isn't the answer,
Lee"
Then why won't you come? What
reasons have you?"
."I can't tell you, Lee" She looked
at him quickly, almost expectantly.
Alone. sitting in her darkened room
near the window, Judy sobbed quietly.
She was afraid, SO terribly afraid,
that he wouldn't understand.
THE next day her fears We're con-
firmed. Hilma Reid told her that
Lee Colburn had packed up and left.
His departure had been as mysterious
as his arrival. No one knew any more
about him than they had month
ago.
Judy went about her duties with
a dull ache in her heart. She supposed
that time would heal the wound. Yet
when a fortnight had passed, she felt
that memory of Lee Colburn would
never be blotted out. Secretly she
resigned herself to life of misery
and unhappiness.
Then one afternoon she was walking
along the road that led from the
Sleepy Hollow School to town and a
car stonned beside her
"Judy!'
She only stared, not daring to be-
lieve, feeling faint.
"Judy" Lee Colburn said. He got
out of the car and took her hands in
his. Listen to me, Judy. I'm terribly,
terribly stupid. only realized it yes
terday." His tone was apologetic
I'm = playwright, Judy. I wanted
to do a play on small towns. I
came up here to live to get atmosphere
thought small-town people were
dumb. I wanted realism. So baited
them by pretending to be mysterious
Then fell in love with you. but
couldn't understand your attitude. It
occurred to me yesterday, when I
reached the last act of my play. I
knew what you meant that night
knew that you were giving me taste
OF my own medicine. I expected you
to give reasons for not running away
with me, and at the same time offered
to give no reason for my own attitude
I understand it now. Darling, will
you forgive me?'
Judy's eyes were filled with tears.
She looked up at him, and her answer
was there without being spoken. She
had trusted to his understanding and
her trust had not been in vain.

what was happening because OF her
interest in Lee Colburn Or, at least,
that's what he claimed his name was.
According to some Of the dramatlzers
it was a pseudonym he had adopted to
cover up his past. His past was dark,
else why didn't he explain his presence
at Marin Robins boarding house?
He had been there week and now no
one knew any more about him than
the day he arrived. No one but Judy.
JUDY knew he was nice. She knew
he was friendly and thoughtful, and
in love with her. At least he had
told her so. He looked serious and
honest, too. She knew, also, that her
heart quickened its beat whenever she
saw his tall, 1.-the figure, or heard his
soft, drawing voice.
She wanted to ask him about him
self, but this would betray mistrust,
and she didn't mistrust him, really.
1t was toward the middle of Mr..
Colburn's third week in Holdman that
Judy came home from work one after
noon (she taught grade VII in the
Sleepy Hollow SCHOOL, and was con-
fronted by her mother
Judy, I want to talk to you about
Mr.. Colburn."
You mean you've found out some
thing about him?"
Il mean We haven't, and that's
what makes me suspicious. Hilma
Reid, who lives at Marin Robins, says
he's terribly mysterious in what he
does He goes away daytimes and no
one knows where. This morning a
strange man, driving one of those
high-priced, fancy-make cars, called
on him"
"Oh mother. you're being silly!
You're like all the others. You can't
find out anything about Mr.. Colburn,
so you're using your Imagination. It's
ridiculous!"
Judy didn't add that her own
curiosity was strained to near the
breaking point. After all, when you're
interested in man you do want to
know something about him.
X
T EE COLBURN called her that night
and they attended the local movie
show. Judy was conscious that people
were staring at them, whispering
After the show they went out to the
Crossroads for ice cream, and later
drove slowly back in the moonlight
They sat before the house in Lees
car
"I'll be leaving here soon," Lee said
"Oh, Lee, do you have to?"
He laughed almost bitterly.
That's it. I do have to-" He
moved closer to her. "Judy, come
with me-"
