Devotional Thoughts What would you think of a father who advises his wife and ehildren on the merits and duties of good citizenship, and the neces sity of following and abiding by the laws of the land and then states, "‘Of course, I do not have to bother so much about keeping laws and following the ' govern mental system, because 1 ain' a man and pay taxes.” This would be a ridiculous argument, would it not? Nevertheless the common notion of many men that religion is good only for women and chil dren is just as ridiculous. Religion is the government of God. The Ten Commandments are its laws. Almighty God set up this Divine Order for the conduct of human beings so that in a world of such imperfection and evil inclinations, people might be guided rightly .and secure for themselves and their neighbors, in addition to their eternal salva tion, the greatest possible happi ness and benefit in this life. Re ligion is a restraint on the in dividuals, but not any more so than is organized government. The rule of God has as its ob jective eternal happiness; the end of civil government is temporal welfare. Neither one can be ob tained by an attitude of “I don’t care”, “I won’t bother”, or “I’ll worship God in my own way”. A government cannot function prop erly unless every citizen tries to cooperate to the best of his ability, even though this fidelity may become burdensome at times. It is natural, and expected, that men be the leaders in civil gov- ernjnent. Thus they should for a greater and more important reason, be the leaders also in the practice of religion; for by ig noring religion and the serv- Births Mr. and Mrs. Cecil A. Lewis announce the birth of a son, James Milton, born January 11, at Memorial Hospital. They have two other ehildren, Carolyn Jean and Allen.

Bonney Hiram Harris Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Harris an nounce the birth of a son, Bonney Hiram, born December 15, at Park View Hospital. Irvin is employed in the Accounting De partment and Mrs. Harris is also a former employee of Caromount Ullice. Mary Anne Gurganus Mr. and Mrs. Sam K. Gurganus announce the birth of a daugh ter, Mary Anne, born January 21 at Park View Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Gurganus have three other children. Mr. Gurganus is employed in the Weaveshed. The monthly payroll of the Fed eral government is nine times what it was in 1932; a total ol 17,665,783 individuals—one out of every nine persons in oui whole country — get regular monthly checks from Washington. ice of God, eternal values are jeopardized. Man’s weak nature is the same today as it was thou sands of years ago, therefore, the Ten Commandments and the Rules of Religion should still con trol our lives. Do these men, who say Religion is not necessary for them, really and sincerely believe that they are any the less susceptible to the temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil than their wives, their children, their sisters? No, an honorable man must reject this illogical po sition and realize that he has the same eternal soul to save as his wife and his children. He must also admit that frequently the struggles with the enemies of his soul are more difficult and more numerous. However, even with this greater handicap, he can be assured of ultimate success for God has promised sufficient grace to all who seek His help through religion. Rev. Charles B.
