Isaiah 36:1 NEW AND NOT TRUE TO TRADITION Is the spirit of brotherly love outmoded in America as might be deduced from the assurance given by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson to mem bers of the Senate Small Business Committee re cently? The Secretary was discussing the effect upon American business of the exportation of wheat to the starving people of Europe when he said, “I want to assure you, Mr. Senator, that no humanitarian con sideration whatever entered into the decision ” Many reasons have been projected for the tardy reactions to conditions in Europe. It has been said that Government authorities are hesitant to displease the American people by calling for rationing- That thin excuse has been answered in part by the clamor raised by church women all over the country- Lack of shipping facilities by which to get the grain to the coast also has been used as an answer to the critics. One difficulty with that fancy was that other com modities, notably alcoholic beverages, were being shipped rather freely. But fear of displaying humanitarianism is some thing new in American statesmanship. It does not re flect the attitude of America’s past and one hopes it does not indicate the true concern of the people for the present nor set a pattern for her future. ECHOES FROM THE N MOUNTAINS I H. Grady Hardin. - —-o One of the problems faced by Christians in the early church ■was about the nature of God. Having known Jesus their ques tion was not whether Jesus was as jgood as God, but whether God was as good as Jesus. Their thinking had to undergo radical changes in order to realize that God was not the Being that much of their tra vJltion had taught. He was not to t>e thought of as a God of magic and unrestrained power and ven gence. They had to realize that God, as revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus, was a God of love and kindness and compassion and forgiveness. To be sure God is justice, but not a hard and imper sonal thing. In Jesus there was shown justice with mercy and par do n God was more than power, He was shown to be a benelovent power. God had to become more than a tribal deity for in Jesus he was shown to be universal. The lessons that were learned in the early church must be re learned by our generation. To over come the problems of nationalism, sectionalism, class barriers, ra cism. and conflicts in all areas we must start with God. But we must start with God who is as good as Jesus revealed him to be. A God greater than groups and nations, more merciful than a treaty, more loving than court de cisions, and more eternal than flags. People ask for practical sug gestions- This is it. Start with God. Find Him the dynamic, vital, loving, eternal teachings of Jesus Christ. It is a practical move u difficult as it is necessary.

Men of Affluence Our Short Sermon i ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ m m m mi O God has given the ability to think, and also to shape and form our thoughts. This formative pow er of thought requires the use of the faculty of imagination to enable us to picture what we de sire our life to be and to make this picture manifest in accor dance with the divine will. In the book Christian Healing Charles Fillmore says; Every thougtht that goes forth from the brain sends vibrations into the surrounding atmosphere and moves the realm of things to ac tion .... W’hat we think we usually express in words; and our words bring about in our life and affairs whatever we put into them.” When we let our imagi nation function under the guidance of Spirit, it leads us to think thoughts and speak words of Truth words of light, life, peace, joy, happiness, strength, courage and love. Such words are radiant with divine light, and stir into activity the spiritual gifts that we are seeking to express. According to the kind of thoughts we think, our life and affairs manifest health and plenty of sick ness and lack. This law of mind action was succinctly stated by the author of Proverbs thus: "As he thinketh within himself, so is he.” It logically follows that if we are not manifesting perfect health, there is something the matter with our thinking. Perhaps we have been ill or out of sorts for some time; in that case we should call upon that good helper, our imagi nation, and let it picture for us the condition that we desire to manifest. Having established in mind the health that we anticipate having, we at once begin to think thoughts that are in accord with it. These healthy thoughts of our mind are radiated into our body, and God’s perfect health comes forth in us. *They looked unto him, and were radiant.—Psalms 34:5.

THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Dr. W O Lewis Charges That Russia Hinders , The Church Freedom 0 Russia has freedom of religion but has ways of underhandedly de ; rr.olishing it. Dr. W. O- Lewis, of : Washington. D. C., secretary of 1 the Baptoist World Alliance, de clared in an address Tuesday night at the South-wide Young Woman’s Auxiliary camp now in session at Ridgecrest. He charged that the Russian government takes steps to see that ministers at times are unable to fill their pulpits and said the steps taken sometimes include jail ing the ministers as spy suspects. Members of the clergy, he said, are sometimes beaten. He also charged that when shortages of paper pulp develop, Bibles are taken from the people to be con verted back into paper. People in Russia, he said, are allowed to go to church, but little by little the government is trying to demolish religion. Speaking for the need for over seas relief and how the Baptist church is meeting it, he expressed the view that there will be need for aid in Europe for at least two more years. He touched on the problem of displaced persons and said that among the approximate 250,000 from Russia and Southeast Poland, there are about 4,5000 Baptists. The World Alliance, he said, hopes to eventually bring a number of these Baptists to the United States where they will be established in colonies and supported for a time by the church. Dr. Lewis declared that not only physical relief, but reconstruction is needed. The German Baptist Theological seminary and publishing house were demolished during the war and are not back in operation. He explained methods in which is be ing administered— some through interdenominational organizations and the remainder through individ ual church groups. The young women attending the church session up to Tuesday night had contributed 53,450 toward a goal of $3,500 and leaders express ed the view that the goal will be surpassed before the meeting ad journs Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Lewis explained the func tions of the World Alliance as “to love all Baptists and get all Bap tists to love each other.” Have You Subscribed Read The Ads.
