Weekly Sunday School Lesson---- RELIGION OF A NATION
Text. Exodus sS,l.S, 80, 2s.4s.4s, 4O,s4-Ss

intensity of religion that is very marked, though it may not be so widespread. There wa splenty of faith In ancient Israel, even in the darkest days as Elijah was re minded when he spoke of himself as the only one who had not bowed the knee to Baal; and there is plenty Of faith in our modern America, despite the apathy and in. difference of the many.
 But does c nation need religion? If Q nation has wealth, prosperity, provision for pleasure, and freedom from want and suffering, does c nation need more?
 The value of this lesson h in the answer that 1t gives to that question from the life of ancient Israel. AS one surveys the thrill- ing and tragic story of the children of Israel as recorded in the old Testament, one realizes at once that prosperity and self-sufficiency are not enough.
 It was in the prosperous days of Israel that the nation, not rec aliEing 1t, was facing It's direst peril. It was in the abundance of wealth that the poor were forgotten, and that the strong used their power to oppress, and aggrAndize themselves.
 Israel had to learn, in the ex- periences of extreme defeat and suffering, that there are things in Q nations fife that cannot Do measured just in terms of out ward prosperity.
 No people is free from sorrow and suffering. No people is free from deep spiritual wants, though these may be disregarded and neglected when everything seems full of sunshine, and there is no cloud either in the heart or upon the daily way.
 fnStinctively and inevitably in the deeper experiences of life, men have turned to some power higher than themselves. But the need that men have felt as such times Is just aS much . need, fl they would but realize 1t ct oil times.
 Perhaps the greatest thing that the Old Testament contributes to human life is this conception of . nation or people chosen and sane. tified.
 The great mistake that the falso leaders of Israel made was in assuming that Gods choice of the fsraelites was arbitrary.
 The fact was that Gods choice involved responsibility. It was in the nature Of c call. Any people is chosen who will do dod's will. Modern Americans are lust as truly called of God as were the ancient israeliteS. The same obii- gationS and privileges are theirs if they will but realize it.
 Moses had c sound conception of human life and society. He knew that at the center Of any system Of social welfare and pros. perity there must Do . sanctuary in which people concentrate themselves to high Ideals and right living.
 We have our national sanctu- aries today, places made sacred by the service that men and women rendered in the past, but we need c deeper sanctuary which represents the highest consecration that we can give to God and to our country; not to our country alone, but to God in aii that He represents for uS of truth and love and grace.

is the Christian hope and anti. cipation today.
 c. What were the May LAws7
 A. These were laws passed by the prussian Landtag in May, 1873, aimed at the detaching es the church in Germany from Rome, and the bringing of it en. tirely under the control of the state. They and subsequent jaws made ecclesiastical appointments depend on the state and on state examination; German au. thorities alone were to exercise ecclesiastical discipline; civil marriages were legalized: all temporaiities were to be with. held from the clergy who refus- fused to undertake in writing to obey these laws; all religious communities. other than those engaged in nursing were sup. pressed; the state took over the administration of vacant sees and of al ecclesiastical prop- erty.
 This effort became known as the Kuiturkampf. and the strug. gle of the Catholics against these laws did not end until their substantial modification in iee3-iee7.
 The persecution Of the church in Germany by the present Nazi government is, in effect, sec. ond Kultufkampf.
 c. Explain the scroll kept in the Ark in the synagogue.
 A. This scroll contains the Five Books Of Moses. For its ceremonial use in the synagogue it is never printed, never in. scribed on paper, nor bound. Its form and ite manner of prepArs sation are minuteiy described in Jewish law and consecrated by uninterrupted practice from Bible times to our own day.
 Parchment sheets--skinS of ritualy clean animals oniy--cut to regulated sizes and set to- gether in 6 specified way, form the very long sheet on one side of which is inscribed the whole of the Torah. The two ends of this sheet of parchment are attached to two rollers on either end Of which gre flat discs of wood topped by long handles. On these roliersthe parchment is turned until the whole sheet is wound and the two rolls meet. The discs ct tho ends keep the rolls straight and protected. On them and the handles Biblical phrases and the name of the donor gre frequently carved or iniaid,

c. What is the attitude of the Bible toward the realization Of the purposes of Jesus for bet. ter social ordcr7
 A. Prof. Herbert |. Wiilet answers: The expectation of the ultimate prevalence of the will Of the will of 0od in the world and Of the shareof his people in that realization is . common place both of the Old Testament and the New. Tn the former case t was associated with the earthly supremacy of the Hebrew people, . dream that was frustrated by the events of his. tory. Nevertheless 1t never wholly disappeared, and later took the form Of apocalyptic OK. pectations, which were partly shared and partly absorbed in the hopes of the early church.
 The entire program of the early Christian community was inspired by the belief that the powers of evil were to be over. come by the forces of the king. dom of God. AS Jesus figura. lively expressed it, T sew Satan as lightning fall from heaven" This hope was at first connect- cd with the expectation of the personal and immediate return of Christ to the earth. Later, as this hope proved abortive, and c misinterpretation of tho purposes of the Master, it took on the more adequate and ex. tended meaning of the growing gospel enterprises throughout the world, and tho cojisumma. ton of the missionary raSsios of the church. There san Do no doubt that this was ule con. fident expectation both of Jos and Paul.
 The early church, with ib apocalyptic bias, help the view that tho kingdom of which iN leader had spoken would be e. tAbliShed in visible form in the world, with It's center at Jeru- salem. This is the view of the writer of Revelation. This idea gave place later on to the hope fore . social order prevalent throughout the world in which the will of 0od should De reals ized and the program of Jesus should come to fruition. This the Lords prayer end many other uttsrances Of the New Testament make clear. And this

Does c nation need religionp That Is the great question that Is con- fronting America today, at Q time when vast numbers of people seem to have lost interest in the religious faith and practice of their fore- fathers.
 Even in many cases where people continue association witi, the church, and attend its services regularly or irregularly, they have lost that sense of devotion and that recognition of religion as the con- manding interest in their lives that was more common Q generation ago.
 Of course, to offset this, one could point to c deep reality and

HERE ON JU M P
Week Is One of Best
Since '29, They Say

Business has been booming for
the past week in at least one group
of Washington establishments.
They are the brokerage offices
to whom a break in the New York
markets mean as much in the way
of commissions and activity as a
bull market.
KEPT ON JUMP
With customers crowding the
board rooms and the ticker run
ming behind New York transactions
as sales mounted into the millions,
their stats have been kept on the
jump supplying quotations, infor'
nation, opinions and checking
open accounts for margin require
ments.
The racing tickers which SOUND
off soon after the market closes
in the afternoon do not end the
day for the brokerage house en-
ployes. From that point the book
keepers and partners carry on into
the night clearing the decks for
the next days business and send
ing out calls where necessary for
additional margins.
SPEED, ACCURACY
Customers men, whose income
is made up in part Of commissions
on sales, have had one Of their
best weeks since the boom days
of 1920 and the crash which came
in the fall of that year. Whether
the Spectator buys or sells, the
commission is paid just the same.
Speed, accuracy and long hours
are held by most brokers to be
equally important in q market
such as the country has seen since
stocks turnbled, only to bounce
back a few days later. Mistakes
mean losses.
