SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Growing in Christian Levs. Mat,
s:43-4s. Eph. 4:2s-s:7. ! John 4:7.7I
BY RALPH ROGERS
Love is the very core of Christ
ian character around which all
other attributes radiate. It includes
the eternal charity of the Great
or, the beautiful and tender re-
'lation of parent and child. the
noble regard of friends fo- each
other and it is the binding tie be-
tween the sexes uniting them in
the holy bonds of wedlock. Ap-
parently it is not static since the
lesson today is growing in Chris
tan love.
Christian, or perfect love, is not
easily attained. Jesus expressed
it best, when tortured and cruel.
fled, he prayed the Father, "for-
give them, they know not what
they do" Paul found a deficiency
of Christian love in the church at
Colossae when they were having
bitter quarrels and restored to un-
kind words. He gave them a per-
feet remedy for their difficulties
when he wrote, "Above all these
put on love, which binds every
thing together in perfect har-
mony." (Col. $40 He sums it all
up when he wrote the church of
Corinth, land now abideth faith,
hope, love, these three; but the
greatest Of these is love-" Il Cor.

Love Your Enemies
Love your enemies? Preposter-
Gus! So too many think and act.
Jesus has risen far above all
worldly pettiness and has sounded
the clarion call for Christian
growth, "love your enemies. OF
course it's easy to "love them that
love you, but what reward have
your" It's hard but possible to
love your enemies, to love them
who prosecute you and say all
manner of evil against you falsely.
General George Pickett was q
good friend of Abraham Lincoln.
The brave General in Gray led
the charge at Gettysburg where
his division was practically an
When Richmond fell
the President visited the city and
called on his old friend, General
Pickett. The General was not at
home but the wife tells how the
President picked up the baby
which gave him a wide mouthed
juicy kiss. and as the great Presi-
dent left he said, "Tell your faith
er, the rascal, that I forgive him
for the sake of that kiss and those
large bright eyes," Only 4 great
man can forgive and love his
enemy.
Robert E. Lee was another great
man. When Jefferson Davis ask
ed him what he thought OF a GER
tain officer whom the President
of the Confederacy planned to
place in 4 most important position,
Lee gave the officer an excellent
recommendation. Lees friends lat
er told him that the officer whom
he recommended SO highly had said
some very uncomplimentary things
about him. Lee replied, IT was
not asked for the officers opinion
of me, but my opinion Of him."
Only a great and noble heart
could do that.

Strategy OF the executive board

downright disgusting. But it was
necessary from the standpoint of

the one political party that serves
all oil the people. Many of our
helghbors and friends voted Re-
publican in the last election but
the vast majority of those have
had their eyes opened and are
again staunch Democrats.
However. our Senior Senator
seems to have no desire to see the
light.
1t Is important that you know
the political conviction of the men
who represent you in the u. S.
Senate. This knowledge will indi-
cate to you whether or not the
candidate seeking your support, IL
elected, will reflect your senti-
ments and represent your interests
as a U. S. Senator.
BY their fruits shall you know
them. The voting record OF your
Senior Senator reflects that rs per
cent of his votes on major legis-

has a more consistent Republican
voting record than the late Sena-
tor Taft Mr.. Taft was a man of
great character. He prided himself
on being Mr.. Republican. But he
did not run for election on the
