| SSsA OAA0OAt WA4o was
believed by almost
nobody, who was
repudiated by his - q
own class and even Dr. Foreman
his own family?
What can we say Of man who
was often in hot water with the city
authorities, who spent months Of his
time in Jail, who was called subver-
sive. and who never got along with
the established religion of his
time?
The prophet jeremiah was that
man; yet posterity honored him.
His own generation thought him a
liar. But some then knew, as we
know today, that he was a teller
of Gods truth, spokesman of God.
Was he a peSsimiSt?
VxTE KNOW Ger. u that jeremiah
w did not wish to be a prophet
in the first place, though unlike
Isaiah he shrank back not from a
sense of sin but because he thought
of himself as mere child.
We know (chap. 2O that at times
he was thoroughly discouraged
about himself, and even cursed the
day he was born. 1t is also true that
in the last war waged by his little
country of Judah before it was
smashed, his advice from begin
ming to end was Surrender"
No wonder people thought him a
pessimist, calamity-howler. But
before we call him such names We
must remember two things. First
is, that his unwillingness to be
prophet, and the fact that so to
speak he hated the job, marks
vital fact: he, perhaps even. more
than other prophets, sensed the diff
ference between his own ideas and
what God was saying through him.
Even when what the Lord
said was not what they them
selves would have wished to
say, they spoke for the Lord
nevertheless. The other thing
to remember is that when
everybody wants to believe a
pleasant lie, and a man comes
along telling the unpleasant !.
txuth, he is not pessimist, he
is simply stating facts.
Jeremiah stood by the facts as
God gave him insight to see them.
If they jailed him for it, he could
not help that; but they could not
shut his mouth nor close his eyes.
Was he patriot?
JEREMIAH was constantly &C.
cused of acts and attitudes which
today might be called "subver-
sive," though he dearly loved his
country. This was because he dared
to rebuke the ambitions of his
country's leaders.
They said: Our country shall be
free! But jeremiah knew it would
not be free. They said: Our king
will conquer! jeremiah knew he
would end his days a prisoner.
jeremiah was unpopular, to put it
mildly, because he advised his
country to take the only place
among the nations it could take
an humble one.
Then, as now, many persons
think that patriotism means be-
lieving yours is the perfect
country. If anyone points to in
justice in our land, some one
may yell, "Deport' him!" But
jeremiah showed what is
true patriot. He is not necessar-
lily the man who approves all
the foreign policies of his ma
ton Jeremiah approved not
one), nor the man who speaks
only good Of his country and his
people.
The best patriot is the person
who, seeing his country as God
sees it, will dare to speak out
against evil wherever he finds it.

Amateur saamstresses can have
fun anG cave money making their
own lingerie.
There's something about lacy
nightgowns and frilly negligees
that restores any woman's sense
of we'll being. And though she
may not be expert enough to
make her own dresses or suits,
she will find it simple to stitch
up some glamorous boudoir out
fits.
Whether it's a trousseau or a
vacation outfit in the. making.
plenty of dainty lingerie is a
must And if a gal is handy with
the old family sewing machine
che can have an ample supply at
pin-money prices.
There is a wide choice of fab
RIGS and trimmings available. You
may select silk, rayon or nylon
sheers, soft crepes or lustrous
satins. Some of the new bemberg
rayon sheer fabrics are particu-
larly adaptable to pretty night
gowns and such, and are mex
pensive anG durable.
Trimmings may range from
luxurious wide lace to eyelet en-
broidered batiste frillS or inser-
ton. The. tailored type may pre-
fer no trimming at all except
carefully hand-finished bindings
in contrasting tone. or perhaps
an embroidered monogram.
The possibilities are endless
when you sew your own. And
there are now available modern
patterns with detailed sewing and
cutting instructions for making
all kinds of lingerie.
