OES To Meet
Murphy Chapter No. 10 Order ol
the Eastern Star will meet Thurs
day (tonight) at 7:30 in the Mason
ic Hall.
Mrs. Alice Morley, worthy ma
tron will preside
Amos spoke out against the evils
of his day. He spoke out against
the nations that left God out, that
ignored spiritual forces, that ex
ploited the poor and oppressed
the needy. And Amos speaks a
gainst the evils of our day
He Speaks to Our Society
He speaks of terrifyingly small
things, and he declares that God is
concerned with these small things,
rhey are things like the scales in
a place of business, the luxurious
fittings in a home, the fat animals
in the barns, the written tests in
school- Here, in these little de
tails, are the signs of the quality
)f man's life. God's eyes are upon
these things, and in them He reads
the justice or the injustice of man's
dealings with man. And in such
justice, or lack of it, He judges
man's relation to Himself- There is
no more searching and sobering
thought in the entire Old Testa
ment than the one here, where the
prophet makes us look at the min
ute details of everyday life.
"Here," he is saying, "in these
small details is the evidence of
your religion "
He Speaks To Onr Churches
He says that religion has lost its
heart of morality and ethical deal
ings: "I hate, I despise your
feasts, and I take no delight in
your solemn assemblies . . But
let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever
flowing stream." Here is God's
judgment on the entire worship
and religion of the day. Over a
gainst the words that speak of the
fervent religious activity of the
people, there stand the require
ments of God ? a great spring of
justice, a great stream of right
eousness in national life. There is
no substitute for this righteous
ness, not even tlie most intensive

religious practices. Does your
faith reflect truly and purely the
God of justice and righteousness?
He Speaks To Our Nation
He says that nations as individ
uals are peculiarly chosen by God
and share in special privileges.
This choice is not that a nation
might have abundance while
others starve; that it might be en
lightened while others live in dark
ness. It is that the nation chosen
might be a blessing to the world
in which she lives? not that she
might bask in God's blessings but
that she might sacrifice in His
service. Greater privilege means
greater responsibility in God's
economy, with individual or na
tion. Where a nation fails to
measure up to that responsibility,
the judgment of God is inevitable.
Perhaps, as we as a nation look
out upon a starving world, -we
might well borrow the cry of the
poet, "Lord God of Hosts, be with
us yet, lest we forget."
