"WHAT OF MY HOME?"
By LYNN BATTER TSCHUDY

Costen j. Harrell gave a
thought for the day in an Upper
Room devotional several years
ago which went like this: "A
godly home is the joyful center
OF the individuals life. the train
ing ground for each generation,
and the hope of the world.
What of my home?" 1t was in
the Old Testament book Of JOSH
ua where we first saw the words,
LAS for me and my house, we
will serve Jehovah (24:l5)
So often in ringing doorbells"
people greet the Soul-seeking
minister with the comment that
in as many years as the family
has lived at that address il is the
first time that a minister has
called on them. Probably il is
true. Yet it seems bit hypo-
critical TO make such a comment
If the family thinks so much of a
call on the part OF a minister,
surely the minister might have
been requested to call before
that time. The impression sup
posed 10 be made is that it is a
godly home. How true that is we
should know. Who is invited TO
such homes? Someone is.
Today's problems are terrific
The job of the armies in the
world is past the Individual S
power Of calculation or under
standing. The job of the home
front is placed before us in UNI
miStakable terms of dollars and
statistics. One OF the home
front problems is becoming more
and more the personal problem

Sunday School Lesson

by warping his vision or per-
verting his mind.
T he Tenth Commandment,
against the sin OF covetousness,
strikes at the very roots of all
such sins. Covetousness is not
just one sort o. sin, il is the very
mother of al. sins of false am
bition and of base and selfish
desire. g.
To want what we have no
right to want, and especially to
wish to take from our fellow
men what is rightfully theirs, is
covetousness. and il has no place
in a wholesome, we'll ordered
life. The neighbor whom we
envy, and whose goods we covet,
may not know of our sinful de-
sires. but the covetousness is
sinful and harmful to ourselves
just the same.
There are, Of course, aims and
desires that are natural and
proper. We instinctively say of
good man, Il wish were like
him" Perhaps I'VE nigh. almost
say of some bad and careless
man, wasting the money that a
grandfather, father, or some rel
alive has left him. as plenty of
reckless young men and young
women in Amer are doing
today, Il wish ' had his money.
lc make some better use of it,"
But when our normal life be-
comes corrupted by envious and
jealous thoughts, disconnected
longings, to have what belongs
to somebody else, or inordinate
desires for more than we need,
the sin OF covetouSness not ONLY
destroys our peace Of mind but
it weakens the will and impairs
efficiency in the pursuit of high
er aims and goals. The man
whose vision is sound. and whose
heart IS right. has no time or
energy to waste in envying 9TH
ers.
The New Testament illustra-
treme cases. The man who want
ed Jesus 20 speak to his brother
about fairer division of their
tons enforce this by citing ex-
inheritance may have had JUS
tice on his side as a ire mat
ter of money adjustment. But
Jesus evidently perceived in him
a concern about money that was
croWding out every other
thought or interest.
Similarly, there was ~othing
wrong about the rich farmer
wanting to pull down his barns
and build greater OF so that
he could have room for his crops.
Any good, progressive farmer
would do just that This man S
mistake was in trusting 30 much
to his riches. entirely leaving out
of account the economic factor
Of the possibility o. his own
death, and the spiritual factor Of
the proper use of his wealth for
God and for his fellowmcn. He
was covetous. His thought and
his interest centercd around his
possessions, and not around his
life and the business Of making
it worthy. That was his sin, and
1t was great and basic sin. It's
a very common sin, too. For so
Is everyone who Is not rich to-
ward God We may indeed be
warned to beware Of covetous-
ness"

All sins are not sins of word

harmful TO others against lying,
bearing false witness, stealing
killing or injuring others by
acting unfaithfully or iishonor-
ably in relationships of home, or
of society.
But there are spiritual sins
that are primarily sins against
ones self. They may give rise
to mean, unjust, or dishonest
acts, but their first effect is TO
mar the soul of man himself,

projects are scarcely better
There are hundreds Of trailers
bearing the initials Of the FEEDER
al Security Agency in which
families of five and more arc
living. Most of these trailers
measure about 6 by IL feet, have
hunks at each end. and q small
stove in the middle.
BUILT WITHOUT BIDDING
One of the oldest and most de-
pressing segments of the project
is that built by the Maritime
Commission. | am told that the
government simply gave a con-
tractor $4,000, 900, without the
formality of competitive bidding
and told him to build. The prom
iSed neat and handicapped results
didn't pan, out. The gas supply
was so meager that last winter
residents could neither cook nor
heat their houses in cold wealth.
er. Sewers were ill-planned
and totally inadequate. Cess.
pools formed under every house
So the government poured In
more money, and today. things
are better But today, an open
ditch of raw sewage still runs
through the settlement. Child.
rem sail their boats in it when i,
rains. The handspring" is un.
graded dirt that becomes a sea
of mud in wet weather. Appar.
entity only the grace Of God ha.
prevented a typhoid epidemic.
GARBAGE LEFT FOR DAYS
Elsewhere in the project, con.
ditlons are somewhat improved
but there is little evidence thai
the residents have done much tc
make the best Of what they have
Rubbish litters the ground
Wrecked jalopies line the sane
and oyster she'll roads. Or
street after street, open boxes o.
garbage stand for days awaiting
the citys sporadic collection.
In remarkable contrast e
this squalor is the appearance o.
the Negro section of the project
The houses are better than mos
in the white section, TO be sure
but that does not account for tn,
uniform neatness of the house.
