Continuing our study of "un
heralded Bible characters," we
take tor our study this week a
consideration of the characteris
tics of Bezalel, a master crafts
man. It is in- connection with the
building of the Tabernacle that
Us name is mentioned.
After recording the giving of
the Ten Commandment* and
various other laws to Moaes by
Jehovah cm Mt. Sinai, the book
of Ixodui list* directions con
cerning the making of the ark
and the tabernacle and its con
tents, including the garments of
the priests. Then it tells of the
appointment of a man, named
Bezalel and his assistant, Oho
liab, to have charge of this work
It M?mn that this Bezalel was
a mast exceptional man. His en-'
dowments are described in vers
es 3-4 of our text. He was a man '
of good, practical common sense.
(or wisdom in the Hebrew sense
meant just that. He wm not a
visionary ? he had the vision and
the ability to put his vision into
action or being. He had know
ledge of his craft and, in addi
tion to this, he had a superb skill
in actual workmanship.
He waj a good executive, also,
for he had many men working
under his direction to accomplish
the many tasks which had been
assigned to him. Our text says
he worked with "wise-hearted"
men and what a joy that must
have been to him, to work with
men to whom their work was a
pleasure and who took pride in
its accomplishment. They work
ed together, wholeheartedly and
willingly, for they were making
the dwelling-place of Jehovah
ind their handiwork would make
that place a worthy place for the
worship of their God.

NOT only does Chevrolet stand out a* the first and only low-priced
car with all the following major advances which comprise the
soundest and best in modem motoring . . . not only does it offer all
these major advantages of Big-Car quality at lowest prices . . . but it
offers them at prices that are now definitely and decisively lower than
those of any other car that even remotely approaches it in quality!
It's the first and only low-priced car with the original and outstand
ing Unitized Knee-Action Ride. It'* the first and only low-priced car
with a world's champion Valve-in-Head Engine. It's the first and only
low-priced car with the enviable Body by Fisher. It's the first and only
low-priced car with the triple safety -protection of Fisher Unisteel
Body-Construction, the Unitized Knee-Action Ride and Positive
Action Hydraulic Brakes. "
And yet, despite the fact that CHEVROLET AND ONLY CHEV
ROLET IS FIRST to offer all these major advancements of low-cost
motoring, it holds an even greater price-advantage and gives you
?ven more value for your dollars in comparison with other automobiles
today than at any previous time in Chevrolet history!

completion and dedication of the
Taberna -Je. Surely, thi* must
have been a happy time lor Be
zalel and his workers. Human
minds, inspired by God, had
planned, human hands had
wrought and the work had been
carried on in a great spirit of in
spired sacrifice and skilL Upon
its dedication, the spirit of God
filled the Tabernacle with his
glory. Thus God honored the
faithful toil of Bezalel and his
workmen.
Albert W. Palmer asks: "What
is the difference between being
a real artist and just a person
who has an artistic temper
ment?" He answers: "Hard work!
Yet there is yet another, element,
unpredictable, evanescent, mysti
cal, and yet absolutely essential
to the highest artistry. It is that
touch of divine fire which we
call "inspiration."
Is your work important- Be
zalel and Oholiab seemed to be
lieve that their work was import
ant ? the most important in the
world to them. Channing Pol
lock once declared that any job
well done is important and that
few of us understand what a big
job a little job may be. He said:
"Take interest and pride in your
work! The fellow with a future
isn't often the one who scorns
what he is doing at present. He's
the man who thinks his job is
important, and so goes on to ever
more important jobs."
John Ovenham reminds us;
"A Toiler with his hands was
God's own Son;
Like his, to him be all thy
work well done.
None so forlorn as he that hath
no work,
None so abject as he that work
doth shirk."

Harry S. Truman is one of sev
en vice-presidents who stepped
into the White House on a Presi
dent's death. Of the six others
four merely filled out their party
terms in office. The two who went
on to serve an additional term on
their own were the most recent
in history.
The six were John Tyler, Mil
lard Filmore, Andrew Johnson,
Chester A. Arthur, Theodore
Roosevelt and Calvin Coolidge.
Tyler became president in
1841, when William Henry Har
rison died after having been pres
ident for only a month. Tyler's
[tenure was marked by constant
bickering with Congress, and
while he was renominated by an
irregular Democratic convention
in May 1844, he withdrew from
the race the following August.
Filmore, who _ went into the
White House in '1950 when Zach
ary Taylor died, was turned down
for the nomination by the Whigs
in 1852. Four years later the
Know-Nothing party named him
and the Whig Party endorsed
him. He carried only one state.

Andrew Johnson was perhaps
least fortunate of all. He became
chief executive when Lincoln
was assasinated in 1889, and re
sulting feuds with Congress led
to House impeachment proceed
ings against him. He was acquit
ted, but in 1888 his party denied
him renomination.
Arthur succeeded the assassina
ted James A. Garfield in 1881 and
histrian3 now credit him with
having done an able Job. But
when he tried for the Republican
nomination in 1884 he was pass
ed over for James G. Blaine.
Theodore Roosevelt did better.
He served three and a half years
after' President McKinley was
shot in 1901, and" then was re
nominated and re-elected for
four years on his own in 1904. In
1012, he tried for the Republican!,
nomination, and when he failed, I
he started his own Bull Moose
party and ran for the office. He
was unsuccessful, however.
Coolidge served out Warren G.
Harding's term when the latter
died in 1023, was nominated and
re-elcted in 1024, and was con
sidered a possibility for nomina
tion again in 1028 when he is
