I .
| Maurice F. Jones, of 116 Second
Street, N. E., Cedar Rapids,
! Iowa, operates a service station
and parking lot in the down-town
section of Cedar Rapids. Every
clay he^ learns^
Hk i from the Unij
versity of Iowa
? the famous
"Hawkeyes". It was to be an especially
gay time because Iowa
with its famous Nile Kinnick, had
just beaten Minnesota. Whoopee
I was in the air.
I The parking lot was jammed
j with cars. But the worst feature
J developed when the drivers cele!
hrofod fho fontholl vipfnrv anrl
wanted to park their own cars. A
man came in with a new car, and
with him he had four friends all
bubbling over with exuberance at
the football victory. This man
wanted to park his car, but Mr.
Jones persuaded him to let him
attend to it.
All was well. But not quite.
After a couple of hours the man
and his friends came back feeling
better than ever. The man
said he wanted to get his own
car out, but with the number of
cars on the lot, Mr. Jones knew
this was impossible, so he again
persuaded the man to let him
have the check and he went for
the car. In bringing the car back
there was an accident, through
no fault of Mr. Jones, and the
fender on the car was damaged
There stood the singing men,
and here came Mr. Jones with the
crumpled fender.
When the owner of the car saw
the fender, he was as mad as a
wild bull just brought in from
the pampas. On top of this he
wanted to show off before his
four friends. "What does this
mean?" he roared. "And what
!are you going to do about it?"
Mr. Jones knew the best way
to handle a mad man with a just
complaint is to see his point of
view and sympathize with his
j grievances. "Mr. James", he said,
"you have a perfectly legitimate
kick. You have a fine car and I
don't blame you for being mad
about it. If I were in your place,
I would be mad, too."
This took the wind out of the
man's sails. But his anger had
not fully subsided.
"You get it fixed and I'll pay
the bill", continued Mr. Jones.
"Or I'll do better than that, since
I am wholly wrong and you are
wholly right. I'll pay you now?
cash".
The man's manner changed: he
wanted to appear generous before
j his friends, so he responded with:
' "Sav! look horo. a hont. fpnrlor
isn't so bad. I'll get it fixed myself."
Mr. Jones had handled the
situation by first agreeing and
j sympathizing with the other person's
point of view; and second,
I by showing that he was willing
| to do the square thing immediately
Had Mr. Jones argued and
fought with his customer, trying
to minimize the damage that had
I been done to the car?what do

THE STATE PORT F
Sunday School
Lesson
By Rev. G. C. Phillips
Bennett, X. C.
(Lesson for Sunday, April 28, |
11940. Text: Isaiah 40:1-11).
Having disregarded the warn!
ings of God's prophets, and perI
sisted in their wickedness and 1
1 folly, the divine wrath was pour-;
ed out upon the people of Israel i
I and they began to reap the bitter
| fruit of their misdeeds. Under
the oppression of their conquerf
ors they seemed to realize what
I they had lost and why they had
lost it (Isaiah 40: 2). A consciousness
of this retributive justice
caused a distress of mind
harder to bear than their physical
misery, acute as that must
have been.
i Orientals are intense in their
grief. When one dies, great wail-1
1 ing is heard. The rich often em- j
i ploy professional "wailers" and
mourners. We know about the j
1 "wailing wall" in the Jerusalem!
of today. The lamentations of
i Israel, shorn of her glory, exiled,,
' enslaved, must have been fearful
I in the extreme. But the prophet
sees comfort for his stricken people.
Affliction had brought them
to repentence, God had measured
out double for all their sins. Israel
was told that her warfare had
; been accomplished and that her
iniquity was pardoned.
It was an eastern custom to
send persons ahead of a travel;
ing monarch to make a safe and
j pleasant way across the unbrokI
en wilderness. Hence the statement
of John the Baptist: "I am
the voice of one crying in the |
wilderness, 'Prepare ye the way
of the Lord'" (Matt. 3:3). The
herald went before the king, crying:
"Prepare the way of the
king". People along the way
smoothed the way for the monarch.
In Palestine a shepherd abides
with his sheep continually. He
goes ahead of them, leading them
wherever he will, carrying the
lambs in his arms, and gently
guiding them that are with
young. Even so the prophet envisions
the loving, gentle guidance
of the Good Shepherd. And,
even though His people suffer,
He is coming with a strong hand,
and His reward is with Him
(Isaiah 40:10). The message to;
Israel was that they should re>
turn to their land, because the
Lord willed it. The message for
: His people today is that, in spite
of prevailing evil, right will triumph,
because such is His will.
"Tiuth forever on the scaffold,
W rong forever on the throneYet
that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above His own."
"Surely the people is grass",
said the prophet. "The grass
v.ithereth, the flower fadetlr, but
the word of our God shall stand
forever". (Isaiah 40: 7. 8). All!
that is of earth is evanescent as
the morning vapor, fading as the
flower. Hut upon the promises
of God men may rely. "The Lord
is not slack concerning His promise"
(2nd Peter 3:9). Dear reader,
with the knowledge of the
frailty of human life and the uncertainty
of earthly things, will!
you not join the writer in an
earnest quest for the God of our,
fathers (Acts 17: 27) who cares
for His own and loves them to
the end?
"Sourceless and endless God, compared
with Thee,
Life is a shadowy, momentary
