For Accurate Reports
Employer's Are Responsible
Mr. N. A. Avera, Manager of the
Wilmington Field Office of the So
cial Security Administration point
ed out that every employer is re
sponsible for reporting the correct
names and Social Security number
of his employees under the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act. In
some Instances, employers who take
pride in their accuracy of their
books and records have been sur
prised to learn that the Social Se
curity number or name of an em
ployee was listed incorrectly on
their Social Security tax reports.
As a result not only were the em-

Q. Some kind of insect is mak
ing holes in my lawn and piling up
little mounds of dirt. How can I
stop this?

a 5 chlordan dust used at the
same rate.
Q. What growing conditions are
best for camellias and azaleas .'

drained locations.
State College Hints
To I'm Makers
To put buttons on so they won't
budge, remember to use thread
strong enough for the weight of
me uuiiun; use iaie ur uiuei ic
inforcement underneath the fabric
and perhaps most important, is to
arrange for a shank of thread which
gives room for the buttonhole to
slide under the button without pull
on the fabric.
" Zippers hold best if they are
stitched on by machine rather than
by hand.
Buttonhole stitches hold snaps
better than ordinary stitches.

Seven-Day Religion
Lessen for October , 1949
EMPLOYERS dln't care-much
for letters of recommendation
signed by preachers. Not that they

ings. But he would rather have a

him every Saturday night and Mon
day morning. .-
BeligioB Won't
Keep Sweet by Itself
rr IS a temptation as old as
'religion,- to put It on one side of
a 4rall and life on the other. But
the prophets showed, once and for
all, that Goo Has
literally no use for
religion which has
been dissected - off
from life. Religion
which is kept
apart from life
turns sour and
bad. In Isaiah's
time, everybody
Vnan tfiera was
something, wrong Dr. Foreman
with the country. i
Isaiah's diagnosis was shocking:
Religion is our principal trouble.
God is tired of it. What? The pious
people would exclaim. Look at the
crowds in the Temple every holy
dayl Listen to all the prayers,
count the number of tithers. If
anything is wrong with our country,
it can't be religion! But religion it
was.
Why God Was Tired
A CATHOLIC priest would shock
everybody should he call Vat
ican City "Hell's Half Acre."
Isaiah shocked his fellow citizens
iby calling Jerusalem "Sodom anp
Gomorrah." Those cities were the
worst places the Hebrews had ever
heard ot
They , were, so bad,, the Lord
had to destroy 'Iken by fire
not 19 good people conld be
found there. The prophet fol
lows np that first shock by an
other. Every single expression
, of organized religion comes
onder the prophet's lash.
Sacrifices and offerings (v.ll),
attendance at the sanctuary, ob
servance of the Sabbath and other
holy days (v. 13), church gather
ings, corresponding to our rallies
and conventions (v. 13), even
prayers (v. 15).
Put that Into modern terms: at
tendance at church, Bible reading,
tithing, praying if. that is all, then
all is no good. It may be religion,
and of course it is one kind of
religion; but not the kind God
wants.
Indeed, Isaiah aaya God
hates It; he ia "fed np" with J
(vs. 11). "What was wrong? ,
Isaiah tells them that, toe, In
short simple words. "Your
hands are foil of blood."
Oh, the people would protest,
we are not killers, we don't lay a
hand on anybody. Isaiah goes, on
to explain: seek Judgment (I.e.
justice), relieve the oppressed,
Judge the fatherless, plead for the
widow. ""
You don't kin outright, if you
churchgoers, he would say, but
you are so indifferent to justice
In your city, you take so little in
terest in the people at the bottom
of the heap, 'that people die here,
widows and; orphans die, simply
because no one cares. r ,
What Makes a Town
Worth Saving?;; s
ALAS, -. nobody did care. One
i hundred and more years went
by, and Jerusalem came close to
Its end. But nobody thought Jthat
disaster - could strike. The belief
had grown in every one's jnlnd
mat the Temple of the Lord would
forever insure the safety of the
city in which It stood. . V" '
t v But a young prophet, , Jere
miah, preached a sermon on
the same theme as Isaiah's
(Jer. 7) It la net the temple
that win save you, it is not
i church attendance that ' win V
As the men ot Jerusalem looked
back to the great days of Moses,
they .thought of the sacrifices and
offerings, the tabernacle and the
rituals and all the pageantry and
paraphernalia , of a picturesque
religion, as the .great thing that
God had given them.
. But God remembered it other
wise. Jeremiah even says (with
understandable exaggeration), that
God had not said a word about
sacrifices and. offerings; the Ten
Commandments,- with all they im
plied, were the main thing.
What God looks Jor. back of an
our church attendance and Bible
rending, Is "justlcebetween a man
44 his neighbor." A place where
that can be found is a good place.'
