Today;s Sermon
BY JAMES LAWSON, Minister,
First Christian Church

. Jesus emphasized the Importance
of the home. w i t h unmatched
strength and beauty, he lifted up
the idea of the home and made the
life of the family the type and
symbol of the kingdom of God.
When he wanted a word to des-
cribe the cracater of God he went
to the home. God is like a father
Of children. When he wanted a term
to describe the relations of members
of the kingdom he went to the
home. Members of the kingdom are
brothers and sisters. When asked
what the kingdom was like he went
into the home and brought out a
little child and placed it in the
midst Of them. "Theirs is the king
dom," he said. Except ye become
as little children We shall not see
the kingdom"
The Importance Of the home is
matched only by its opportunities.
The opportunities of the home are
being overlooked to a too large an
extent today. We need the efforts
of all the good forces in Jul COM
munities to call us again and again
to consider these opportunities.
There are many opportunities
which the home has to build char
acter in the life of individuals and
the community. Chief among these
is the chance to share life. Out Of
the process of sharing life which is
made possible by the very nature of
the home might come those qualities
of life which make not only for in
dividual salvation through charac-
ter growth but also for social sal
walton. It is saddening therefore to
look upon the sorry mess that we

Text: Matthew 28:16-2O
By WILLIAM E.. GILROY. d. D.
Editor of Advance

We have noted how the Resurrec-
ton and the temperance of their
Master quickened the faith of the
discouraged disciples. In this les
son we have to do with the new
task that they found with their re-
awakened faith.
Hitherto, they had been dependent
upon their Masters physical pre-.
sence. Their hope and faith and
outlook depended very much upon
their nearness to Him and upon
the inspiration Of His words. They
had been looking forward to His
setting up on earthly kingdom, and
they had anticipated that in that
kingdom they were to have the po'
sitions of place and power.
Now they were brought face to
face with the fact that Jesus mao
not come to set up an earthly king
dom in a physical sense, but a spl-
ritual kingdom, and they began TO
understand words that before nus
have been full Of mystery.
They realized that the salvation
which Jesus had come to bring
was not a limited salvation, for a
few people at a particular crisis III
their history, but it was to be a sal
walton for all men. For h flrst
time there came to them the vision
of a kingdom that was to be al
over the earth and in which all
r,en. without distinction of race,
color or class, who found salvatlon
through the Gospel, were to nave
their part.
These things must have beer

All thinking citizens will look
with much interest upon the Better
Homes Movement in America. The
month of April has been designated
as Better Homes month in our COM
munity. The Junior Sorosis is spon-
soring the movement here and for
this the organization is to be COM
mended. All those cooperating in
any way must feel that they are a
part Of a most worthy cause.
The Importance of the home can
not be over-estimated. 1t is the mob
lest institution on earth. In the
Bible the home and family life is
elevated to the place of greatest i'm
portance for the individual and so
ciety. Literature has forever prais-
ed in the highest terms the home
and it's ideals. Thoughts on the sub
ject have always touched the hearts
of people and inspired them as no
others have done.

tails the workmen's purchasing power
and to curtail purchasing power means
that the landlord, grocer, gas, electric,
water and other bills cannot be paid
Our dollar here in America is like an
endless chain; it goes round and round.
If one is not paid the other is not paid,
and that effects US all. Japan imports
into the United States 55 per cent of
all dinnerware sold in the United
States. If the American potteries were
manufacturing 60 per cent our indust-
ry would be working three, eight-hour
shifts per day and we would employ
hundreds of new workers. AS it is
we are making about 80 per cent of all
the dinner and table ware sold, while
Central European powers and Eng
land supply the other Is per cent. We
are not opposed to legitimate compe-
tition, but we are opposed to one ma
ton hogging all.
Japan is an aggressive nation and
each five or ten cent piece we spend
for their products helps buy bombs to
drop on innocent women and children
in China. Here in America we can 60
to sleep at night without fear of giant
bombs being dropped on us from the
air. But when we buy Japanese prod
ucts, we are helping that nations war
lords to kill and win their war of ag-
gression.
Therefore, be it resolved, That this
convention assembled, go on record as
refusing to buy goods marked "Made
in Japan," in this manner we will be
giving work to our countrymen and
aiding in the maintenance Of the
American standard of living.

was started they were called off at the
request of the Building Trades busi-

the low down from the higher ups in

was matter entirely to be taken care

the Building Trades Council is useless
and that it should dissolve and let the
Central Labor Union be the clearing

these two organizations functioning it
is only duplication of effort which
could be handled more effectively by
