Sunday School Lesson FOR JULY 21 Jean* And True Worship Deut. 8:11-14, 18-20; Isaiah 40.30, 31; Mark 12, 18-34 GOLDEN TEXT—Cod is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. — John 4:24. Discussed by Ben F. Favell The Importance of True Worship In the very first verse of our lesson text God warned Israel hot to forget God. When? In the time of sorrow or adversity? No. In the time of prosperity. We are not so apt to forget God when we »re in want for the necessities of life or when our loved ones are in mortal-danger. It is easy for us to turn to Him then. During the ter rible conflict through which we have just passed, in all our churches there was a continual flow of earnest prayer to Almighty God for the safety of our boys *nd girls. Now that the fighting is over and the danger of death has largely passed, are we con tinuing that same stream of pray «r in thanksgiving to the protect ing Father for the return of those aame loved ones for whom we prayed so earnestly? We prayed for peace. Are we going forth now in the spirit of peace to point our friends to the Prince of Peace ? I ask you these questions in all seriousness. God knew the trend of the human heart and he warns against it. When the land is flowing with milk and honey, then the great danger Ts ever present. We become like the object of our worship. We can’t help it. It is a law of nature. In our prosperity, if we turn to God in true thanks giving we become humble, sweet spirited and God like. We want to share with our less fortunate brother. If we forget God and think that by our own power we are able to gain prosperity we worship the power of our own abilities and the things we accu mulate. The worshipper ever de sires to have more of the object «f his worship. If he worships God he wants more of his spirit. He wants to become more and more like his Heavenly Father. Realising that all these good gifts come from the Father above he is moved to share with his less for tunate brother. If he has forgot ten God and has placed his heart in things he will want more and more things. The natural tend ency, then, is to lead that person to become a grasping person. Hard and selfish. Tree Worship Brings Strength From Ged Isaiah 40:30. The prophet Isaiah warns that even the strong youths shall meet adversity and faint, that strong young men will fall. Temptations come to all. Youth is the battle ground against the devil and his allurements. What young man or woman that has not at some time failed to stand and has lost the battle. There is a difference in losing the battle and the war. God gives strength to get up again and stand in His might and face the enemy and overcome by His help. The true worshipper is able to soar above temptation as the eagle soars above all other. In God’a strength the youth can run and not be weary. True worship of God gives every worshipper the strength to meet his daily tasks and to meet problems as they come, one by one. Thrice Worship Begets Love Jesus was asked one day by one of the Scribes, a religious leader of his day, what was the greatest commandment. The great teacher did not hesitate but answered the law of love, quoting Deut. 6:4, adding another commandment: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” One who truly loves God will soon learn to love his neighbor. Jesus takes the old law of Moses, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and shows the fulfillment of in the love of another of God’s chil dren, his neighbor. Love brings expression. How can we express our love to a needy world? Think It over. SELF-DISCIPUNE BY LABOR URGED BY GREEN IN CRISIS Washington, D. C.—The follow ing message from AFL President William Green, appealing to all AFL members to exercise self-dis cipline until Congress passes a new bill extending OPA powers, was written for the July issue of Labor’s Monthly Survey. The sudden ending of OPA brings « responsibility to business and to labor for carrying on policies that will safeguard the interests of all. We were already in the current of inflation and some price increases are inevitable to readjust produc tion to more satisfactory levels. Minor temporary increases can be absorbed with little permanent change in the purchasing power of our wages. Our major need is in creased volume of production. Our safety lies In the getting through this period of' transition with no major increases in costs or stoppages of production. Major changes will be cumulative in ef fect and may start the chain of dangerous inflation. Some employ ers’ organizations are wisely tak What Are You Contribut ing to make the Southern Membership Drive a Suc cess? Give Director Earl Britton your co-operation! ir.g action against price and rent increases. For their own safety the wage earners of the United States should exercise self-discipline, and good judgment, and refrain from taking ill-considered and unwise action pending action by Congress. Labor will then be in a position to de mand co-operation for holding the prices and especially rent levels. Wage earners can best stabilize their wage dollars by helping to increase volume of production that can wipe out scarcities and the danger of run-away inflation. As workers in a free economy, let’s first strengthen our founda tions so that our strongholds will weather the difficulties. As citi zens of a democracy we must pre j serve our rights by insuring the | general welfare.

Believe it or not, Joe Cur* ran says he’s having trouble with the Communists. Yes, sir, we’re talking about Joseph Curran, who has been the constant stooge of the Stalinite Commissars in the National Mari time Union as long as he’s been President of the CIO union. But, apparently, even a worm can turn, although there is some evidence that perhaps the Com munists turned against Curran first. For in a torrid blast in the Pi lot, the union’s publication, Curran accused the Communists of “false ly” circulating rumors that he had “sold out” the membership in the recent maritime wage negotiations. That was only one count in his indictment. He also accused the Communists of using NMU organ ising funds for political purposes. With the Union payroll up to $1, 600,000 a year, the organization l ad a $12,000 deficit in March and went “in a hole more” in April, Curran reported. i see peopie on tne payroll, tne union's President somewhat naive ly added, “but I have yet to find 11 ut what they are doing.” He went on to allege that Com munist leaders in the union are 1-reakmg their backs to see that no one holds office except those that they put their blessings on and they are attempting to dis credit anyone who stands in their way, including the President of the union.” Observers were somewhat doubtful of the true significance of the Curran “revolt” from the party line. Some even went so far as to interpret it as a bid for the independent votes of union mem bers, so as to forestall any other candidate with anti-Communist pol icies from making a fight to sup plant Curran. However, coming on top of Mor ris Muster’s resignation from the CIO Funiture Workers Union on the ground that Communists had captured control of the organiza tion, Curran’s blast serves as that much additional confirmation of widely-held belief that many CIO unions are dominated or controlled by Communists or are just plain lousy with them. Jobe Increase In Cleveland Cleveland, Ohio.—A survey by the Cleveland Chamber of Com itierce shows the second largest monthly employment gain since V-J Day. During June an increase of 3,260 workers marked a three per cent rise in 100 industrial plants. HINRICHS QUITS AS ACTING I HEAD OF BUREAU LABOR 8. Washington, D. C.—A. F. Hin richs, acting head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the last six yean, resigned on realization that he would not be named full direc tor of the agency. He will be suc ceeded by Murray Latimer, former chairman of the Railroad Retire ment Board, it was reported. Hinrichs had been under fire by the AFL for several years on the | grounds that his BLS price index failed to reflect true price in ! creases during the war. Mrs. Ary neas Joy Wickens, chief of the price and cost of living branch of the BLS, will serve as acting com missioner. Raise For Furniture Union San Francisco, Calif.—The AFL Furniture Workers Union and San Francisco employers have nego tiated an agreement whereby pay raises of 10 cents to 22 cents an hour have been awarded to 400 v/orkers in 18 local and East Bay furniture plants.

ILGWU RECEIVES $13,103,545 FROM EMPLOYERS DURING 1945 FOR HEALTH FUNDS New York City. — The long strides made by union operations in the heflth and welfare field were thrown into bold relief in the 12th annual report of the In ternational Ladies’ Garment Work ers Union (AFL). In a complete financial account ing to its 325,000 members in the United States and Canada, the un ion revealed that it had collected $13,103,545 from employers in 1945 for health and vacation funds. This was an increase of 62 1-2 per cent over the 1944 total. Benefit pay ments to union members rose by 154 per cent to a total of $7,315, 409. A surplus of $5,722,136 is be ing held in reserve to finance fu ture benefits. David Dubinsky, president of the ILGWU and a vice president of the AFL. presented the report which showed the union spent $956,956 for war relief, gifts to service men and donations to char itable and labor causes in 1946, in addition to a special war relief fund of $1,750,000 raised through voluntary contributions among its members. With strikes virtually unknown in the industry in recent years, the garment union continued to show a substantial excess of receipts over disbursements in its general account. The combined income of the international union and its af filiates from membership dues, as sessments and fees was $10,069,302 of which the parent organisation received $2,672,699 and the locals and joint boards $7,396,403.

C.—Strong ob- I jection to a provision in the Hos- j pital Construction Bill, giving the I Advisory Council power to over rule the Surgeon General, was expressed by AFL President Wil liam Green In a letter to Rep. Lea, chair man of the House Interstate Com merce Committee, Mr. Green said he way pleased to learn that a subcommittee reported a bill which in its broad objectives, was in ac cord with the health and security programs endorsed by the AFL. However, he added: “We are disturbed by the report that the bill contains certain pro visions which appear to us to tie of very doubtful wisdom. I refer particularly to the provisions re lating to the function and author ity of the Advisory Council. We are deeply concerned that this ad visory body, consisting of parr time people, is not merely advis ory, but actually given power to control and even to over-rule the Surgeon-Gene ra!. “This is unsound legislation, as it(0plaees the control of public funds outside of public officers.” Emphasizing that the Hospital Construction Bill is “the first vital step” toward a comprehensive na tional health program, and that its effect should not, therefore, be endangered by such a provis ion, Mr. Green added that the AFL vdll be obliged to withdraw its support of the measure unless this point ,is corrected.
