Take Yourself, for Example

RTOW LET US see how this comes
Nv out in your own home Sunday
school If yours is like most Sun
day schools, the main trouble with
it is that they can't find enough
good teachers, enough people who
really want to know about God
word themselves, who live and love
to help others know it.
The Rev H. M Lewis of Texas
has said in his essay, The Rivi-
dends of Teaching:
"When you begin to teach you
will realize that at last you have
found a purpose for your religion
Teaching gives a motive, the
highest motive, for all acts of re-
ligion and for all pursuit of knoWl-
edge-'For their sakes. Every
Christian has the missionary obli-
cation and is by virtue of his pro-
fession of faith, missionary
Go, teach all nations Make your
particular nation young America
and your special opportunity sys-
tenatic work in the Church school,
Once you believe that you must be
a teacher because you are a Chris
tan you will have heard your
1ife's call"

Thrce Aims

8EEtkf iAiIttN
PROFESSOR EZRA. of Babylon
and Jerusalem. was one of his
tory most famous teachers. We
note ezra 7:1M tha e7o7o three
aims in Ezra's life that you would
expect to find in all good teachers.
First Of all, he prepared his
heart to do what he did. The
"heart'' is the Bible expression for
character, for life as whole. No
one can be truly good teacher
who has bad character.
Now Ezra prepared his heart to
do three things The first was to
"seek the law of the Lord" What
a teacher teaches may be as I'M
portant as who his pupils are; and
Ezra's subject" was the law which
God had given his people-part of
what we now call the Old Tesla
ment Nowadays this is called re-
search, but simple word for it is
just study. A lazy teacher is poor
one. A good teacher will spend
more time studying than any of the
pupils do-and will learn more,
too. In fact, the best way to learn
anything, including the Bible, is to
try to teach it for a while.
Second, Ezra prepared his
heart to do the law. The old
sneer, "He who can, does; he
who cannot, teaches" is true of
poor teachers, not of the good
ones. Particularly not true of
Bible teachers. The aim of Bible
teaching, from Moses time till
now, is always practical. Truth
is in order to goodness. as the
Presbyterians say. One who has
not tried out the Bible ideals in
daily living will never do for
a Bible teacher.
And third, Ezra set out to teach
in Israel" Your research scholar
may or may not make good
teacher. The good teacher is not
bored by teaching as some research
ers are. He loves it. He is happiest
at it.

Bad Day in the Senate

The President has had another painful lesson
In the hazards of trying to use his appontlVe
mower to punish Senators who have incurred his
displeaSure.
Mr.. Truman had sent up four nominations
two Federal judges, member OF the Motor
Carrier Claims Commission and that OF Martn
A Hutchinson to the Federal Trade Commission
In each case the appointment had to be mace
with the advice and consent of the Senate" yet
the President, in these nominations, not only
failed to consult the Senators from the States
involved but in making his own selections Mr.
Truman seemed to go out of his way to anront
the Senators involved.
He should have anticipated the result On
Wednesday, all of the nominations were over
whelmingly rejected. For some of them appar-
emily, there was no support at all, and not even
the administration leutenants made light 1or
the presidential choices.
The case of Mr. Hutchinson is of greatest
interest in this area Mr. Hutchinson has long
been an outspoken opponent in Virginia OF the
political organization headed by Senator Byrd
and he ran against him in the 1946 Democratic
urinary The President, of course, knew tnls
and his nomination of Mr. Hutchinson must
therefore have been intended as political slap
at Senator Byrd. There is difference OF opinion
among VirginianS as to whether Senators BYRD
and Robertson were justified in opposing the
Hutchinson nomination on the ground OF MS
alleged incompetence. But no one who mas
passed the primer stage in politics could have
thought that they would swallow this political
affront without fighting back.
For Senator Byrd, of course, the nomination
posed some difficult questions. If he had per-
mitted the nomination to go through, it would
have tended to remove political opponent from
the Virginia field. Conversely, decision to hight
It meant that Mr.. Hutchinson and his friends
would become even more confirmed in their
opposition to the Byrd organization. But there
were other things to consider Had the nomina-
ton been confirmed, the political faction with
which Mr.. Hutchinson is associated would have
been able to say to other Virginians: See what
has happened. The Democratic patronage is
going to U.S. not to Senator Byrd, and If you want
to cut in on the pie, you'd better get aboard our
bandwagon.
Now, with the nomination defeated, the Byrd
opponents will say that this is one more proof
that the Senator is political dictator who brooks
no opposition. So the Virginia Senators were
faced with hard choice, and whether, in the
long run, they made the right political decision,
remains to be seem
There is one thing, however, that is clear.
Mr.. Truman should have known long ago, and
certainly must know by now, that he cannot play
this kind of politics with his appointments and
expect to get away with it..

Virqinio Cracks Down

Alarmed by the mounting death toll on
Virginia'S highways, Governor Battle has in
structed the State police to initiate an all-out
drive against violators of the traffic laws
More than 500 people have been killed in
traffic accidents in Virginia so far this year,
and thousands have been injured. This uncon-
scionable slaughter is due in large measure to
the presence on the roads of speeders, drunken
drivers and the operators of mechanically faulty
cars If violations in these categories could be
prevented, the accident toll would fall off
markedly And they can be prevented if the
police and the courts with the vigorous support
of that great majority of motorists who want
to drive safely, will take the necessary punitive
measures Virginia will have set a good example
If Governor Battles directive heralds serious
and sustained move in this direction.
