BIBLE THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
GOOD FOR DISORDERED NERVES: And the work ;
of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of
righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. — Isa. 32. ;
Typhoid Clinics Under Way
Once a year, around Christmastime, we are aroused
to the importance of the Great White Plague. We spend
our pennies, sometimes more, in a nation-wide aattempt
to fight this dreadful malady by buying Christmas
Seals. And it is well to do so. In a hundred ways
tuberculosis is one of the leading maladies against per
fect health, something to be warned of at the first ap
proach and fought off with all the remaining strength i
in the human body. But tuberculosis is not every
thing. Typhoid fever, for instance, takes its toll of. lift
as well, and without cause if it is anticipated.
Here in Chowan, there is much opportunity to , con-, j
tract typhoid. Let the doctors tell you what occasions |
it. Whatever the reasons for it. it has been here
aplenty, and many, have succumbed to its f rightful .'
ravages.
But it needn't be so. Health Officer J. M. Jackson,
who has taken the directorship of the Bertie-Uhowan-
Gates Health Department, has started a free clinic
about the county a - a formidable barrier against both
typhoid fever and diphtheria. It starts next Monday
and includes inoculatory treatment for everyone apply
ing for observation. The schedule is printed elsewhere
in this issue, and everyone, adults and children, should
take advantage of its benefits as a preventative.
One War At A Time
There are any number of Americans who . are wor
ried lest this nation has '‘trouble with Russia” after ,
the present war is over.
Well, for the present, the war against the Axis is
enough to. engage our attention. The Russians are
helping us beat the Axis in Europe and the Red
Army has made a major contribution to the overthrow
of the Nazis.
Let’s he hankful for the favors that we incidentally
receive. The Russians had to fight for their own exis
tence. just like we had to fight for ours. when, attacked
by the Japs in tne Pacific and by the Axis in Europe.
A Sample Os Junk
Tlie New York Journal-American says there is “a se
rious decline in church-going and in attendance at
Sunday School classes” and attributes this to the short
gasoline allowances.
This preamble is published for the purpose of de
nouncing •‘bureaucracy" for interfering with the “price
less and historic freedom of religion at this time.”
Surely, the people of the nation’s largest city have
more sense than to be influenced by such twaddle. To
restrict gasoline in order to supply this essential fluid
to bur tanks and planes, has nothing to do with free
dom of religion and no one knows this any better than
the Journal*American.

It is obvious that with from eight to ten million men
under arms, and other millions engaged in emergency J
war work, that attendance, not only at religious ser
vices but other meetings, will reflect the absence of
more than ten per cent, of the population.
Moreover, some inquiring patriot might wonder how
the people got to church and Sunday School before the I
advent of the automobile.
Rationing* Improves Health
Now that meat is rationed it is refreshing to hear
Dr. E. V. McCollum, of Johns Hopkins, assert that meat j
lean be entirely eliminated from your diet and your
health will not suffer, provided you consume sufficient ;
quantities of other high protein foods, such as milk, |
eggs and fish.
The limitation on our meat eating.- however, will
probably prove to be beneficial, whether the average
American likes the idea or not. This also goes for other |
restrictions upon the diet of most of us.
From Great Britain comes a report saying that de
spite the drab wartime diet the death rate is the second
lowest in British history and the birth rate is the high- j
| est in ten years.
The decline in the death rate shows that the people
iof the British Islands are standing up to the emei- j
' gency. Sir Wilson Jameson, Chief British Health Offi
cer, offers his opinion that “the plain nutrition brought i
about by wartime conditions has had more to do with
the good health we are experiencing than any other:
factor.”
This recalls the old saying that most Americans dig ,
their graves with their teeth. Over-eating is a Common
fault and the consumption of rich foods entirely too .
prevalent. What diseases result from this national j
habit may not be altogether known but certainly the I
present restrictions upon our foods will not impair the
health of our people.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
GOD ENCOURAGES MOSES
International Sunday School Lesson
for July 18. 1943.
GOLDEN TEXT: “Certainly
1 will be with thee.” —Exodus 3.
Lesson Text: Exodus 3:13-16: 4:10-17
In our lesson tor last week, we
saw the manner in which God select
ed men and called a leader. We
have also seen just how God had pre
pared the man whom He was to call.
Our lesson for this week follows im
mediately upon the events recorded
in our last lesson.
Moses is still standing before the
burning bush, talking with God. As
pointed out, he realizes fully the un
organized condition of his people, the
Israelites, and the immensity of the
task which confronts anyone who is
to assume the task of leading them
out of Egypt. He also is fully con
scious of the attitude of the Egypt
ians toward the Hebrew children
and knows that, although they are n
hated people, the Egyptians will not
be easily persuaded to permit them J
to leave because then they would be
deprived of their labor.
In a spirit, we think, of humble
| ness ami perhaps of self-conscious
j ness, more than Unwillingness, Moses
j argues the matter with God, in
5 verse 13, of Exodus 3, he questions
whether the children of Israel will
accept him as their God-sent deliv
erer and we can readily understand
this attitude of Moses. He has been j
) away from his people now for forty ]
' years—has been apparently out of
i touch with and indifferent, apparent
] ly, to the trials and oppressions
which they have had to bear. Why
should God, he thinks they will say,
; select such a one as he when there
are many others who have been
right with them and who understand
their problems so much better than
Moses does?
To this line of questioning thought. |
i God replied: "I am that I am . .
Say unto the children of Israel I am
hath sent me unto you.” Names
j meant a great deal to the Hebrews
j and the name of God was descriptive
to them of His attributes. In tne
story of the creation, God is called)
' Elohim, the God of Power: to Abra
ham in a strange land. El Shaddai,
God Almighty; to Melchizedek, El
Elyon, the Most High; to Moses and
to the children of Israel, God gives
Himself the name of Ehyeh, i. e.,
| I AM. When He is named by others
!He is Jahve, He Is. The name de-
I notes the absolute self-existence of
God.
Alexander MacLaren says, “Crea
tures are what they are made to
grow or to be; they are what they
were not, they are what they will
some time not any more be. But
God is that He is. Lifted above!
time and change, self-existing and]
j self-determining, He is the fountain,
] of life, the same forever.
God tells Moses to first call all the
| elders of the people together and
] announce his God-given mission to
deliver them from bondage and bring
them once again to the land which
God had promised them and, then
after this meeting, to go to Pharoah
and ask for permission to take the
children of Israel on a three-days’
journey to offer sacrifices unto their
God.
Even after all of this, Moses
seems not to be thoroughly convinced
that he is the right one to be the
leader of hi,n people. He pleads that
he is not eloquent; that he is slow
of speech, and of a slow tongue, not
realizing that God needs something
more for the guidance of man than
the fluent gift of speech. The reply
of God to this was to call Moses’ at
tention to the fact that He was the
giver of a man’s mouth, the maker
of man dumb or deaf, the giver of
sight. God then commanded: “Now,
therefore go, and I will be with thy
mouth, and teach thee what thou
shalt speak.” To this Moses replies,
"Send whom Thou wilt, Lord.” Dr.
F. B. Meyer considers this to say,
“Since Thou are determined to send
me, and I must undertake the mis
sion, then let it be so, but I would
that it might be another, and I go
because I am compelled.” God then
tells Moses that his brother Aaron,
who “can speak well,” shall act as
his spokesman to the people; he shall
serve as a mouthpiece for you, and
you shall inspire him.”
Accepting his task, Moses takes
leave of his father-in-law, Jethro,
and with his wife and sons starts for
Egypt. He meets his brother Aaron,
in the desert and they together ap
pear before the children of Israel in
Egypt to tell them what God had
assured them must be done. The
people believed that God had taken
pity on them and their suffering and
so they bowed their heads and wor
shipped Him.
They went from this meeting to
see Pharoah to make their request
for a three-day journey into the
wilderness, but the Egyptians, fear
ing some trickery, that through this
pretext might make their escape,
refused their request and instead
multiplied their burdens the more.
Moses undertook the tremendous
task which God had given him, and
once putting his hands to the plow,
never looked back. He was God s
appointed agent, doing God’s will, and
he was conscious at all times of tne
fact that God was with him, in tne
undertaking. Are we willing to un
dertake the “impossible” for God ?
