Those Feu F.xeeftlion* Refusing to registei for selective service training, several divinity -1 u dents in New York were recently sentenced to prison for a year and a day by a federal judge The stand of the vnung men against wai is to be admired No one can read the accounts from Coventry, the Detroit of England, and not raise his voice and soul against the horrors of war The young men, just as there are the few exceptions 111 every olhet movement, good or bad. arc doing themselves and religion little good when they sincerely or stubbornly tell the world that they will not do the biddings of a government that offers them protection against the persecution and actual extinction that have befallen their comrades in other lands The law stated that everyone between the ages of 21-3ri inclusive should register, that con scientious objectors would be heard in due time Bu' no. tile apparently half-cracked students decided they would publicly and brazenly ques tion the government's order to register for se lective service. It would have been far better had the young men registered and then quietly entered their objections to the military call But there are those few exceptions 111 every movement. Some are well inlentioned. but in too many cases spme few would upset a program that is designed to serve the welfare of the majority. When it comes to the religious group, it seems difficult to understand its attitude in the face of the persecution that has been dealt the church 111 those countries overrun by bar barians But there are others who reserve their complaint and willingly march forward to do what they think is right and which when done will bring freedom and blessings that the "tew students and others of their ilk will enjoy along with those who shoulder the burdens in war or in peace. 4 Doubt Remover In nearly every marl from the office suites on Park Avenue and from the dominated type writers from' state after state come pieces of literature and letters picking flaws in the New Deal and urging a return to the old order. The facts arc distorted and warped, and while an occasional argument would tend to carry some weight and one is ready to concede a point, he merely turns back to the early thirties and re calls the conditions as they existed then. All doubt about the value of our present system as compared with that system in effect under Hoover quickly vanishes when one recalls the trying, times that saw millions swept and kick ed out of their homes and the human soul was given a value below that of a work beast or a machine. ? Toda\ we may he traveling the wrong road. hut tin millions have recehtly stated their preference to continue their present course ra thei than turn back to experience Mr. Hoover's system, a system that quite a few self-interested groups would have us grope under again. When someone would cast doubt in our minds about tin value of our system today, we mere ly recall the old days?those bad days?take heart and express a willingness to march on, hoping and believing the future will be no worse than was the past under Mr. Hoover's ad ministration t ri tut nuts 4 re M title \ol Horn Defender of the Faiih. Statistics of criminology show that a very great pel cent of our public enemies in every department of society were individuals who grew up without a father or mother, and took the wrong course because they were left to themselves. John Dillinger. Robin Hood. Jesse James, and many others were examples of this type How much better our country would be if those who have large incomes and immense fortunes, would do same thing materially to help educate and train those fatherless ones -who will otherwise grow up as untrained, un disciplined. undesirables A child does not need to be born with a sil v'ei spooii in its mouth to become great. Many poof homes Have been the birthplace of the earth's most mighty religious and political leaders Poverty is not always an enemy, but will become" such unless the poverty-stricken boy or girl gazes through the slime of their en vironment, and by strides that are made possi ble through Christian training and educational opportunities, hitch their wagon to a star and find that there is room for them at the front. Pet's turn a new leaf and begin fighting our bandits, racketeers, and other criminals by in culcating good things in the minds of our youth. If we place before them good and show them by our acts of charity and benevolence that they are welcome to ascend to all the attainments we enjoy, they will willingly become our con temporaries in good citizenship. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.?Abraham Lin coln Christians Spiritual Defense Program By REV. Z. T. PIEPHOFF Pastor, Presbyterian Church "Prepare to Meet Thy God " Man is on his way to meet God Each day draws him closer to his Maker and Judge Some will be call ed upon to meet Him today, others tomorrow, and all of us within just a few years. Therefore, the most im portant question of the day isn't. Are we prepared to meet some earthly foe?" but "Are we prepared i to meet our God?" Some day we shall meet Him Of that there is no doubt. As we stand before Him to give an account of ourselves, our stewardship, our time, our talents, and our possessions we must have a good defense pro gram already worked out. The Christians first line of de fense is to have an advocate, a law yer, a go-between to stand between him and God and that advocate must he the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christians' second line of de fense is to have a case already pre pared to plead before the Judge This case the Lord Jesus Christ has al ready prepared for those who love Him. The Christian's third line of de fense is a Christian character that will be able to stand the test of fire. If we are to spend eternity in the Kather's House and in His presence, ! then we must be preparing a charar j ter like His. a character that will make us feel at home in His pres ence We are forming a character of j some surt or other each day and the kind of character we are forming now will determine whether or not we will feel at home in the presence of God on that day. Building a character is a matter of cultivation. Taste and desire and habit are products of cultivation. We can choose and we do choose the things that result in taste, desire, and habit and the cultivation of these result in character. e.g. Take the use of tobacco as an illustration. The first chew of tobac co a young man takes inevitably makes him sick. So sick that he does " uel know whetliei lie is standing orr his head or on his feet. But, in spite of this first effect, hi* takes another and another chew until soon after ward that which inadc him sick is now a sweet and juicy morsel in his mouth. Take the use of alcohol as anoth er illustration. Very few, if any, of those who are today the users of this beverage, liked the taste of raw al cohol in the beginning. At first it was dressed up in high balls, gin fiz gies, and cocktails, but gradually the taste took hold and today many of these persons can drink raw alcohol from open fruit jars or bottles with out the usual chaser. How true it is that our tastes, de sires and habits are the results of cultivation. Just one other illustration. The story is told of a minister who lived in the low country for many years and was often a victim of malaria. Some years later he moved to the hills. One day he was invited out to dinner and his host placed before him a dinner fit for a king. Before he ate it he reached in his pcoket and took out a small Bottle and sprinkled some of its contents over the meal. The contents of that bot Palmotive, Bath site I for 26c Palmolivr j for Mc Super Suds (blue box) am S f'r Me Super Suds (blue be*) Ig * for 41c Octagon Soap, flajit ? for Zie Octagon Soap, small le for IJc Octagon Powder, large ? for 23c Octagon Powder, small It for Me Octagon Toilet < for Mc Octagon Cleansor t far te Octagon Plakas 2 for tie Octagon Granulated 2 fer lie Cry Mai White Soap S fer lie Hollywood Beauty 1 for lie Klex (Pumieel Soap 3 for lie Creme OH Soap J fer lie Universal Beep 2 fer lie Triple Cake Soap 1 fer lie Lindsley Ice Co. tie was Quinine. This minister through the constant use of quinine in the low country had acquired a taste for quinine. What you are today is a result of what you have permitted or made yourself to do yesterday, and what you will be tomorrow will be the re sult of what you are doing today. We are forming our characters daily, therefore, it is a matter of vast im portance that we choose today to do the things that will develop within us a character that will feel at home in the presence of God on that day An indecent person does not feel at home in the presence of a decent person. Birds of a feather flock to gether. An unsaved person is never fully at ease in the presence of a saved person. Have you ever noticed how few ministers are invited to go on hunt ing or fishing trips? How many times have ynu invited your minister to go to tne football game with you? Or to play golf? Why? Because the presence of the minister cramps their style, their language, and their ac customed behavior They just don't want ot be with the preacher be cause they have developed a char acter?tastes, desires and habits ? that will not let them feel at ease or at home in the presence of the Men of God. Listen: In just a minute close your eyes and lean back in your easy chair and thinl^ through the answer to this question. "If you do not feel at home in the presence of your min ister or any other minister or Christ ian for that matter, and if you do not desire his fellowship and if you are not interested in the things of the Spirit now, today, do you think you could and would feel at home with God, if He should call you into His CHURCH NEWS CHURCH OF THE ADVENT The Sunday next before Advent. The Collect Stir up, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the wills of Hiy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by ITiee be plenteously rewarded, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

All the services will be under the direction | of the pastor presence today?" Of course you wouldn't. With such a character Heaven itself would seem more like Hell than Heaven. In closing let nie say this: That if you do not feel at home in the presence and company of those who pray, study their Bibles, attend church, and serve God. then you had better begin at once to cultivate a character and dispositions and inter ests that will, for these are the traits that shall make us feel at home in the Father's House. A man is nut prepared to meet his God until he has the Lord Jesus Christ as his Advocate; until he has the Lord Jestis Christ to plead his case before Almighty God, or until he has developed a character that will make him feel at home in the presence of God. Do you have such a defense today? Are you preparing such a defense today? If not, why not begin prepar ing one today? For?Behind such a defense we are eternally secure.
