A JUST TRIBUTE
News has come to the FUTURE
OUTLOOK that a United
States Liberty Ship, the Lunaford
Richardson .will be christened
at Brunswick, fia.. enrlv
in September.
It has always been our "policy
to seek out examples of fine
and noble expressions of Interracial
relationship. It was once

of the monuments of Lunsford
Richardson and hir interests In
the Negro race, we would ask
you to look about you ? 100k
at the L. Richardson Memorial
hospital, an institution dedicated
to the medical care of the
race, and offering an opportunity
for Negro physicians to improve
their knowledge and
skill.
Mr. Richardson was not born
a rich man, but being committed
to a program of improving
the lot of his fellow-man in the
establishment of the V 1 c k
Chemical Company, he was able
to leave lasting monuments as
a testimony of t h e rewards
which will come to those who
have an abiding faith in t h e
! principle of the golden rule.
Again, The FUTURE OUTLOOK
places Its unstinted approval
upon the efforts of those
who would bring to the late Mr.
Richardson and those of hie
' family .this, a tribute to his service
to humanity, the name of
the United States Liberty ship,
the Lunsford Richardson.
The U. S. farm-mortgage debt
was reduced by 850 million dollars
during 1942 and 1943.
THE I
THK HOOK FOR
TOMORROW'S WOULD
THE FUTURE OUTLOOK is
happy to share with the conclusions
reached by the American
Bible Society in Its discussion
of "The Book For Tomorrow's
World." This is what the socitty
had to say on the subject:
"Some day the war will be
over. We shall be standing on
the threshold of a new world.
At our feet will be unprecedented
chaos. Cities reduced to rub
ble. Nations bankrupt. Disillusionment.
hatred, reprisal, revenge,
distorting men's souls.
Little human intellects matching
themselves with the colossal
problems which their follies
have created.
"But reconstruction will . be
on the way. Reconstruction is
always in process. Reconstruction
is of God. The Creator iB
always creating, re-creating.
Nature is never idle. The popples
continue to grow on every
"Flanders Field," even while
the war rages.
"Wise men are not waiting
till the armistice, to make their
plans for tomorrow's world.
They are making them now.
Tentative plans t- # are, but
none the less constructive.
Business is doing It. Education
is doing it. Our government is
doing it .The Christian church,
thank God, la doing it.
"The Chinese write "tomorrow"
as two word characters.
meaning "Drignt day." Tomorrow's
world will offer new opportunities,
new challenges to
those who would enthrone
Christ. It will be a more compact
world. Its "uttermost
parts" will be less than three
days' Journey from any "Jerusalem"
which would send forth
its messengers of redemption.
Trade will be greatly extended
and simplified. Communication
will enable the nations and kindreds
and peoples and tongues,
not only to talk with one another,
but through television, to
see one another in action.
"Tomorrow's world" will be
a more literate world. Millions'
in Russia, India, Africa, China, j
Latin America, in the islands
lof the sea, will be learning to
read, and eager to roam afar in
their new-found freedom. In
tomorrow's world, the Bible
will be within the sphree of effective
use by tens of millions
of people, whose teachers havo
cured them of "book blindness."
"Tomorrow's world will present
staggering new dangers.
The points of friction between
nations, races, classes and cultures
will be greatly multiplied.'
Misunderstanding, I
suspicion, jealousy, "incidents,"
war, ? yes, ever vaster and
more ghastly war ? may be in
the making. "One World" will I
not automatically become one <
in spirit and in purpose.
"Here lies the challenge to
the Christian church. In its
hands is a book. On the pages
of this book lies good news ?
the way of salvation for men
and nations. Once this book
served only little scattered
groupe in the crumbling empire
of Rome. Then it spread to
all Europe and the Mediterranean
basin, bringing hope
and more abundant life where
ever it was courageously accepted
and followed] It remolded
the spirit of England, and
created In America a new kind
of nation.
"In the greatest of all the
r
%
TJTURE OUTLOOK, GREEN
centuries, England, America,
and other Western nations carried
this book to every continent,
and put it in the tongues
of all the great peoples of the
earth. Today, the Bible has become
potentially the world'B
one book. Nine-tenths of mankind
might now have the Pen-1
tecostal experience of hearing
in their own tongues the wonderful
words of God. It is this
hearing that opens the doorB to
redemption, as it did that day
when Peter declared his faith, j
It is the hearing of this word
that alone will bring salvation
to mankind. It is a g r o a t |
achievement that they might
hear. The challenge of tomorrow's
world is that they must
hear. Without delay, the Word
of God must be available now
to guide the millions who will
walk out into the sweet but
pathless Bilence of the day of
armistice.
"When that day comes, it |
will be too late to begin to set
type and prepare plates, and,
print *and bind and Bhlp and dis-j
tribute to the scattered nations ]
their guide-book to understanding
and enduring peace. Wc
who know and love God's Word]
know assuredly now, as well as
we will ever know, that the
Bible will serve as no other Instrumentality
we can think of, I
to build a better world tomorrow.
Now Is the time, then, to
be preparing."

LESSON
THE PREACHER AS A
PROPHET
Golden Text: He that hath my
word, let him speak my word
faithfully. ? Jeremiah 28:28.
Both the priest and the
prophet have their essential
part to play in the life of reli

IjETWEE^' T1
gion. B u t If a choice were
necessary between the two, we
cannot avoid the conviction
that the prophet has the greater
service to render. While the
priest is busy, as was indicated
In the last lesson, with the externals
of religion, the prophet
is occupied with its substance.
Herein lies the contrast between
Eli and Samuel. The
former, as we saw laBt week,
was anxious for the safety of
the ark, which was the outward
symbol of Israel's faith;
but to the latter Jehovah revealed
himself.
Samuel had a real experience
of God. He urged the people to
return to Jehovah "with all
your heart." To hiin religion
was much more than a formal

Religion should be a stabilizing
and Inspiring force in human
experience. Faith, in the
goodness of God, the worth- '
whiteness of life, and the value
of man is likely to preserve a
serenity and evenness of spirit
which is not subject to w 1 d e
fluctuations of mood. Whenever
this vitality goes out of
religion, and faith degenerates
into artificial form, a spiritual
relapse is imminent.
These periods of national decline
were all too frequent In
the early history of Israel. With
wearisome monotony the' record
