The burning of 200 colored persons ill a Mis
sissippi dance hall recently should serve as a
learning to all of us who handle fire careless]
and to those of us who frown upon rules and
regulutionii udvnnceil for our prolactin"
fire.
Believers in individualism and resentful of
suggestions from recognized authorities, we of
?..?i .mi?ri-iiti th.. wrung idea when the fire
marshall places his loot on our property and
points out fire prevention measures and safe
guards. Right here in our little town, there has
been a marked opposition to the rules and reg
ulations adopted to save the property of those
who expressed their resentment against any
and all advice offered by the lawfully designat
ed inspectors. One should recognize the value
of a directed work of this kind and realize that
it is being advanced as a unified effort to safe
guard the property of everyone and lessen the
danger to human life.
The Natchez fire and its death toft should
serve as an example to every property owner
arid prompt him to remove the fire hazard:
that threaten human life in factory, dance hall
show place, tenant house or home.
The Itruzen Kapixl
Hitler, the barbarian, has invaded and raped
one little country after another, subjected the
people to untold hardships, slavery, starvation
and even death, and now he comes along and
proclaims to the world that he is the protector
of the little nations.
Is Hitler so dumb that he thinks the people
of the world will believe him? Surely, the peo
ple of the world are not as dumb as Hitler would
make believe they are.
It is possible that Hitler is trying to justify
his brazen acts in the eyes of his own people.
In that case why broadcast his detestable lies
to the world? If the war reporters and radio
speakers in Europe know he is telling contemp
tible lies, and it is certainly believed they do
know he is misrepresenting the truth, then why
headline those lies in the daily press and broad
east them to the four corners of the world over
the radio?
There has been much said about the little
discretion shown by Hitler in his invasions, but
it is beginning to appear in bold relief that the
newspaper reporters and radio commentators
are showing little, discretion in accepting and
chronicling the events relatives to the war. The
reporter is to be excused when he recognizes a
claim by Hitler or any person, for that matter,

The Supreme
Need of the
World . . .
By REV S. J. STARNES
Pastor. Methodist Church
(That every knee should bow and |
that every tongue confess that Jesus i
Christ is Lord to the glory of God the
Father?Phil 2-11.)
Then are three significant pas
.>. > of Scripture which give us an
innght to what the BiWe taach?
about world redemption. One of
i pai ages il tjhe one at the head
- I thji article--Phil. 2-11, a second
i found in John's Gospel, fourth
chapter, 35th verse, and the third is
found in the letter to the Romans j
10 15 One of these passages comes
from Jesus himself, while the other j
two come from Paul, the great inter-1
pveter of Christian truth.
Th? first passage indicates that it
the divine purpose that Christian
principles should prevail in the lives
of men and of nations. God is no re-'
spec tor of persons, but desires that I
"every knee should bow and that)
every tmigur should confess that Jes
u Christ is Lord to the glory of God
the Father." This is in keeping with
the prophecy of Isaiah 45th chapter
and 23 verse: "I have sworn by my
?elf, the word is gone out of my
mouth in righteousness, and shall
not return that unto me every knee
shall bow, every.tongue shall swear."
The very fact that men have had
some! kind of conception of a Su
preme Being, a Higher Power, even
though it has sometimes been a very
crude conception, is evidence that
there is an "upward pull" which no
thing else can satisfy save faith in
and fellowship with God. In heath
en nations men believe in and wor
ship many gods A reaching out for
something bigger, nobler, better and
beyond oneself is an evidence of this
universal hunger. It is seen in the
very restlessness of humanity and
the inadequacy of material things.
satisfy this longing. Men have had
their Utopian dreams, but these have
ix)t materiaITzed. Systems of phllOS
ophy have been set up and while they
contain many good things, they have
never reached the depth nor provid
ed the remedy. Certain systems of
re 1 lgion, such as Confucianism, 5nin~
toism, Buddhaism, and others have
come into existence in an effort to
bring this satisfaction, but these
have failed. It is only through the
satisfying influence of Christianity
that men find a peace that pass<*lh
understanding. Religions, like indi
viduals. are to be judged by their
fruits Compared to other religious
systems. Christianity is comparative
ly young. It is said that when Abra
ham was a baby, China was a nation
and hud her religious system. The
?same might he said of other ancient
nations. These religiuus systems fail
ed to minister to the deep longings of
the human heart and many of them
have dwindled and died. Today,

Christianity is supplanting these re
ligious systems wherever it is given
a chance.
Christianity is by its very nature
Missionary; when it fails to be mis
sionary in spirit it ceases to be Chris
tian. The words of Jesus to his dis
. . A ? ..II 1 U.. iir/irlrl I
tian. The words of Jesus to his dis
ciples to "Go ye into all the world 1
and preach the gospel to every crea
ture" indicate again that it was in the
divine purpose "that every knee
should bow and that every tongue
Should confess that Jesus elitist-far
Lord to the glory of God the Father."
In the second passage of Scripture
referred to above, John 4:35, Jesus
said, "Say not ye there are yet four
months and then cometh harvest?
Behold 1 say unto you, lift up your
eyes and look on the fields; for they
arc white already to harvest." Then,
as now, the followers of Christ need
ed more fully to appreciate the op
portunities that lay out before. They
needed to come into a sympathetic
understanding of the needs of man
kind and endeavor to satisfy those
needs. Jesus indicated that the spir
itual needs of the world were suffi
cient to challenge the sympathetic in
terest of his followers. It stirred the
sympathy of Jesus himself. We read
that "When he looked upon the mul
titudes he was moved with compas
sion for they were scattered abroad
as sheep having no shepherd." It has
stirred the sympathy of Christian
leaders since the days of Jesus' earth
ly ministry. St. Frances, of Assissi in
[he days before the protestaiu tefui
mation looked upon the white har
vest fields and was led to give him
self earnestly in an effort to help
men religiously. John Wesley am
ing along in the" days since the re
formation also looked upon the har
vest fields and said, "I consider the
whole world to be my parish.' It is
only as our sympathies are deep and
broad and all-inclusive that we ap
proach the Christ spirit. There was
no selfishness about him. He desierd
that all men may come into posses
sion of the "more abundant life"
which he came to give.
A man said recently that "A con
gregation cannot live, and grow and
prosper, and be happy which is not
missionary in spirit." The church is
called upon to reap a great spiritual
harvest made possible by the labors
of consecrated men and women
through the years. The Master said
to the disciples "I sent you to reap
that whereon ye bestowed no labor;
other men labored and ye entered in
to their labor." The foundations have
been laid. What shall be the attitude
of the church toward the rich spir
itual harvest which lies out before
it?
"Rise?to world-wide harvests speed!
The whitening fields stretch on and
on,
Few the laborers are indeed,
But great the work that must be
done."
bet every Christian make it pos
sible for the church to continue its
program of missions until "every
knee shall bow and every tongue
shall confess that \Iesus Christ is
Lord to the glory of God the Father.
