Saint Louis, Missouri, December 8 Especially Spiritual
amnesia is the besetiing soul sickness of our day, DIR. Walter
A. Maier declared here today in a special universal Bible
Sunday broadcast over the international Lutheran Hour.
Maintaining that masses of our countrymen do not really
know who they are and where they are in Gods sight, the
basis of the Bible.
The Scriptures, DIR. Maier maintained, are still the only
Cuide-book for cropping humanity. ''There can be no sub
situte for Gods Word" he declared, ''either in remaking an
individual life or in reshaPing our postwar world.'
He listed as a Number One folly of our age the plan of
building a new world and a perfected social order, without
bloOdshed and suffering, on the basis of plans that have no
regard for Biblical truth.
Science, DIR. Maer asserted, is often regarded as a more
than sufficient substitute for Scripture, and he paid tribute
TO such inventions as 'the electric brain'' which British sci.
entists have completed and which in four seconds can solve
problems which today would take expert mathematicians ten
days to reach the correct solution. HI asserted. however.
that nothing which men can ever make will be able to answ-

which continually agilate the human heart: What lies beyond

: Although it is the most popular
form Of central heating, many peo-
pie seem to be mystifed by the
principle of warm air furnaces.
They know that two kinds Of reg
icters are used, both connected with
the furnace through ducts, or pipes.
but out Of one kind they get heat
while out of the other they don't.
How car there be both hot air and
cold air circulation from the same
furnace?
To understand this seeming par
adox need only accept the sci
entifc fact that warm air rises
because heat makes air lighter,
while cool air is heavier, and there
fore settles to the bottom. Warm
air heating puts this fact to work
by having pipes that take heated
air off the top Of the furnace and
conducting it to the rooms of the
home, while another set of pipes
takes the cold air off the floors of
these rooms and, by gravity, let's
it drop to the bottom Of the fur
mace casing, where it becomes
heated and rises again to the warm
air pipes. Gravity thus provides a
continuous circulation of the air.
and it is that circulation which
battles the home in warmth, as well
as drawing off the chill from the
floors. 1t is the most popular of
heating systems because Of its
natural efficiency and economy, and
is considered the most heaithfuf
because Of the constant change OF
air that it provides during the
| winter.
just a. in any circulatory svs1
tenn, you cannot get any more QUIT
than you put in. In other words
the volume Of the cold air %returns1
must be equal to the volume of theI
hot air ducts. That is why tha mi

ALONG
MY WAY
The House That God Built
BY Lawrence P. Lewis


On Twenty-fourth and Ohio
Streets, stands a monument of
G~od-fearing people. 1t is a symbol
to others who are afraid to under
take such a gigantic task with so
little. With a strong will and with
unwavering faith in God the men,
bers of the Mount Moriah Baptist
Church are now in the finishing
stage of this beautiful structure.
Not many years have passed
since the good Rev. David st.
Clair arrived in our community.
The task that confronted the pas
tor of the Mi. Moriah Baptist
Church would have been deemed
an impossibility by many of us,
but not by this industrious and
far-seeing pastor. He had God on
his side and that was enough for
him.
Planning far ahead with so little
to plan with the Church that is
standing almost erected now must
have been one of Rev. David St.
Clair's dreams. Like a child
dreams of the toys from Santa.
like the couples, newly married
dream of their first-born. the pas
tor of the Mt. Moriah Baptist
Church dreamed of this structure.
A symbol of God, and a place for
Gods children to worship.
There were tmany years that
/ walked by the corner of oath
and Ohio without looking up. What
was there had been there. Same
old cracks in the sidewalks, same
dirt blowing up and down the
street, and the same buildings and
houses that lined both sides of the
street.
Building new homes and new
structures means progress. but
building a house of God means
GREATER progress, because what
that structure stands for no hui
man a take away. Rev. st. Clair
wanted to give to the people some
thing that couldn't be taken away.
What he has given through his
leadership goes beyond human
progress, only men close to God
can take SO little and achieve so
much.
All over the world there are
mammoth and expensive houses of
God. They have with stood time
and prevail against the damnation
that would have torn them down.
Many standing half-demolished by
bombs and shells of the past war.
But God-fearing men go on build
ing in His name, and will continue
building in His name until the end
of time.
Here in community on Path
and Ohio Sts., men are building in
His name. Rev. David st. Clair
and the members of the Mount
Moriah Baptist Church are mostly
made up of men and women that
sweat and toll for a living. They
are men and women, even though
oppressed by many people of their
own country. have risen above this
oppression through their faith in
God and His Works.
AS long as there are men and
women like the members of the
Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, and
as long as there r pastors like
Rev. David st. Clair, the Word of
God shall spread throughout the
world and the building in His
name shall continue. In their
hearts they realize who is respon-
sible for the structure that they
worship in. To them it is The
HOUSE THAT GOD BUILT"

THE COMMON
DEFENSE
Worthy of Gratitude
and Emulation
BY Rev. William c. Herman

More evidence that Christian
Americans have entered the lists
for keeps against the forces of
Injustice came from Georgia only
a few days ago.
A courageous Baptist minister.
the Rev. Joseph A. Rabun, form
erly a chaplain in the United
States Marine Corps and pastor of
the very church to which Govern
or-elect Talmadge belongs, stood
Up before the State Baptist Con
vention, representing 600 900 Chri-
stians and demanded the passage
of a strong resolution affirming
Christian principles of justice and
condemning racial and religious
hate.
The Rev. Mr.. Rabun contended
that as a chaplain in the armed
forces he had fought against pre-
JUDGE and oppression in other
lands and that is was just as right
to fight them in his own church..
One convention delegate, trying to
dissuade him, suggested that a safe
and sane resolution could easily
be passed. The minister's reply
was, Our Lord was not safe and
sane" Overcoming all opposition
he drove the resolution through.
In its final form it stated, 1--WE
hereby proclaim u traditional
stand that every man has the
same right to participate in the
blessings of our American way of
life, and that no man shall be
Disseminated against because of
race, creed, or color" And further
that "all Christian people of our
Georgia, particularly Baptists, to
speak forth with every ounce of
energy by word. deed, and by
thought, against the preaching Of
so called patriotic groups which
have so recently found birth upon
the soil Of our Southland; which
same groups are but a counter
part of Nazi hate groups, preach
ing a so called race superiority,
and are neither American nor

Members Of the Mount OIiyet
Baptist Church Tuesday were still
without a church building.
Their first effort to build q new
house of worship had failed. All
they had to show for a year and
a half Of effort was a basement
with crumbling dirt walls.
More than q year ago, members
of the congregation decided to
tear down their frame church
building at 3O1O r Street. replace
it with a s24.2OO brick structure.
They signed a contract with the
Realty Improvement Company. an
Omaha firm managed by Hiram D.
Dee. Down came the old building
and formal ceremonies marked
the breaking of ground for the
new structure In September, 1915.
