please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto l sent it"
Having read that sublime passage,
go back and read it again. Then lay
down your paper and ponder it. Let
the spell of these magic words play
upon your Imagination. Then muse
upon the wonder of inspiration: for
these are God-breathed sentences,
spoken to the ages through the
trumpet tones of Isaiah.
Like the astronomer, Keplar, we
may think Gods thoughts after
Him" That is the highest quality
of man. No other creature in the
universe possesses it. Thereby we
know that we are children of God,
made in His image. The lowliest
mortal that lives, even the little
children-especially the little child
may draw near to the Father of all,
in understanding that the real
things of life are spiritual.
Whether he tolls on the farm, la
bors in the mine, sails the rough
seas, or bends over bookkeeper's
weary chores, or. as woman, la
bors ceaselessly at household cares,
everybody may have his real life in
the thoughts of God. This is the
mystery of Immortality. We all live
double life; the outward one that
the world sees, and the inward one
in relationship with the Infinite.
Our day is cluttered up with ma
terial possessions; but underneath
dwells forever the spiritual thirst no
mere things can satisfy. From my
post as an observer of the procession
of life I watch the discontented
faces of men and women go by:
seldom do they wear the serene
stamp of peace and happiness. Yet
the prophets promise is to every
one that thirsteth. Why not then
lift life up to its highest level of
God-awareness?
Like the psalmist, Isaiah pictures
the world as thirsty-and how
thirsty! Vain is the effort to satisfy
immortal souls with material things.
My own religious life began when
was 10 years old, and lay for five
hours in remote field, gored by
bull, with leg broken, gaping hole
in my side and many other wounds.
There I made compact with God
which I have tried to fulfill through

out the years. My worst suffering
was an overmastering craving for
water. And in the days of delirium
which followed. my constant cry was
for water, cold water. know what
physical thirst is; and I understand
the psalmist's words, "As the hart
panteth after the water-brooks, so
panteth my soul for Thee, o God. :"
This Is a universal cry that Isaiah
utters. His promise of spiritual sat-
lsfaction Is the biggest news in to-
days paper. For it not only implies
an ending of the worlds present
woes, but 1t also reaches out to
eternal destiny for millions of hu-
man spirits.
Be it remembered that Isaiah's
message was primarily addressed to
the exiled Jews in Babylon, soon to
have the opportunity to return to
Judah. That Babylonian sojourn
turned the Jews into merchants and
moneymakers. 1t stamped upon
them the commercial characteristic
which they have ever since borne.
Therein we have the explanation of
the prophets plea that they should
turn from pursuit of trade back to
the religious life which was their
supreme destiny.
There was, of course, a price to
pay for their return to God. Let
the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts, and
let him return unto Jehovah. and
He will have mercy upon him, and
to our God, for He will abundantly
pardon" There is the good news"
which a greater than Isaiah later
heralded, and proved upon the
cross.
Was the human race ever before
the victim of such bewilderment as
dominates it today? Millions are
crying out for the Intervention of
God in the worlds affairs. Yet He
waits for mans repentance and
return.
Our old Hebrew prophet reminds
us that Gods thoughts are not our
thoughts, nor His ways our ways.
We need Isaiah's quiet faith that
our times are in the hands of an
omnipotent Deity, who is also our
Father. All else may change, but
His nature changes not. So we must
enter into the patience of God.
This anchor holds: God is. God
reigns. God cares. God loves.
Here we have the supreme reality
more real and important than the
plans OF politicians, the schemes of
statesmen, the craft of criminals
the projects of professors or even
the hopes of humanity. God has
not let the times go out of His
hands. His word will not return
unto Him void.

 The Orange Bowl game was con- ceived nine years ago as a publicity stunt.
 Miami boosters, searching for something to attract early-season attention to the winter resort, hit upon the idea of New Years Day football game.
 Chick Meehan brought Manhat- tan College to play the Univer- sity of Miami. Some $500 specta- tors sat in improvised wooden stands on January 1, 1883, and watched as Miami toppled fa- vored Manhattan, to 0.
 That was the beginning, ai- though the affair then was called the Palm Festival Game. In 1894 Duquesne whipped Miami, 33 to T Bucknell Walloped Miami 26-0 in 1885.
 The game had caught on and the Orange Bowl title was adopt ed. Miami built steel and-con- crete stadium and plans were laid to make the event serve double duty in publicizing the states cit rus industry and tourist attrac- tiOns
 Through sheer luck, packers managed to match opponents who turned in two corking contests. The 1889 game, in which Tennessee conquered previously unbeaten Ok lahoma, IT to 0, really put the Orange Bowl on the map. The gross gate was $91,000, each team get ting about $27.0O0

 "A few, perhaps, become great players when they're as far along as their last years in high school or even when they've become col lege men.
 But the great basketball player usually is moulded in his junior high school days and in his first year or so in high school. That's when he learns the habits-good IT bad = that he'll have during most of his playing days, regard less of what the best coach can do about it.

 Well, the Rose Bowl, oldest of the holiday gridiron attractions put on it's first game in 1916 when Washington State beat Brown 14-0
 But Pasadena had been in the news with a January l celebra- ton long before that. Away back in 1890 it's first Tournament of Roses was held And the Tourna- naent of Roses parade still far out draws the football game.
 More than million and quar- ter people swarm into this town, with a normal 85,000 population, to see the five-mile long morning parade. Around 86O00 see the grid game in the afternoon. But the game pays for the parade. The gross is around $325,000 and after s20,C00 expenses is taken out, the profit is split three ways-roughly 26 percent to the Tournament of Roses.
