Gods spokesman to our own times
as well as to their own, and to all

The Bible prophets were not

churches to support them. No
regular meetings were arranged
for them. You never would have

living often in jails. Daniel was q
member of kings council, wealthy

They were all kinds of men. these

Gods voices. pleading. warning.
teaching all who would hear.
Their Times and Ours
HUMAN nature is always much
i the same. One man alone, or
one man with another man. or a
man with woman. or a man in q
crowd-in the Eighth century before
Christ when Amos preached, or now
In the goth century after Christ.
the same sort of situation brings
out the same temptations. the same
sins. The prophets often sound quite
modern. but that is only because
the human race is so old-fashioned.
The prophets looked about
them and saw q world much
like our own. They saw people
spending more than they could
AFFORD; they saw wealthy wom-
en- dressing in competition with
one another while poorer wom-
en- starved; they saw crowds Of
business men attending religious
services ON Sabbath mornings
and spending the rest Of the
Sabbath figuring out how to
cheat their customers on Mon
day.
The prophets lived In evil times
and they brought the judgment Of
God to such times-then. now and
always.
Sins Of Society
IN AN American town there was .
lynching one Saturday night. The

mons In the four little churches of
the town; but not one Of the preach
ers had word to say about that
lynching or any lynching or about
the causes that produce such
crimes.
The prophets never would have
missed an opportunity like that.
They were not afraid to speak out,
even when they had the whole com.
muniV against them.
What Does God Require?
1T is easier to say Don't" than
DO" It is easier to criticize
than to construct. But the prophets
did not stop with warnings They
have given US a pattern for living,
which Micah summed up in those
matchless. inspired words: What
doth the Lord require of thee. but to
do justly, and to love mercy. and
to walk humbly with thy God?"
Everything that is good. in
public life or in private, is in
cluded in those % words.

man and Eva Tax seem to be per-
petually ambitious while an op-
posite urge seems to be affecting
Dave Deutsch, Ira Ginsberg, Jack
Golub, Sid Handler, Hal Malinsky,
Teddy Malkin, and Ellen Roter.
Seems that some ''quiz" kidlets
plan on "1's" minus studying.
Irving Coretz gave some very
impressive interpretations (espe-
cially of Beethoven) during his
senior piano recital which turned
out so very successfully.
Another able one is dramatic
arts major Goldie Levkowitz who
directed a terrific little one-act
play "Sight Unseen"
Sid Appleman and Joan Lita-
vich helped supply the musical
background for the Fine Arts pro-
duction of the operetta "Vagabond

mated a scene.
Amid all of this academic ac-
