I'm Glad That We Went Broke As Told To Me By Mrs. Wade Myers of Atlanta, Ga By Mrs. Howard Joyner Up until my husband and 1 were middle-aged, we were a typ ical American family, with two teen-aged girls and twin boys ap proaching young manhood. While we hal always had enough of the necessities, and a few of the com' forts, we never had any of the ex tras that wealth brings. But we had that which money cannot buv "Love, a fair sense of values, and a peace of mind that accompanies clean, honest living." It seems that overnight, our lives were turned "topsy turvy' . by the death of a great uncle. Of course we knew that his wealth was unlimited, but we had never thought seriously that we would be left his heirs. He made us a few visits but each one was ac companied by such severe criti cisms, that we had long ago dis regarded ever being left anything by him. In a few short weeks we were moved into a ualatial home and a housekeeper employed to take over the work that I had always taken for granted. Our make be lieve life was begun. When I cri tized, I was neatly put in my place by either my husband or one of my daughters, who usually re plied, "Don't be old fashioned, we fashionable thing to do." I no longer recognized my children or my husband. My boys no longer made a pretense of working, but caroused all night and slept all day. My sweet daughters became social minded and I never saw them unless they were hurrying to a social engagement ,and always in a hectic rush to be off again. I never knew just who their many dates were but from the appear ance of two, I had my suspicions that they were married men. The greatest change was in my husband. He had always been a home-loving man, but now he was quite the opposite. Between his daily visits to his club, his golf appointments, and his dancing lessons, he was rarely ever at home. When I tried to tell him how lonely I was, he would only sulk, and come home later than ever. When it seemed that I could bear it no leave and return to my little home town. On the night I had planned to leave, the telephone rang in the early morning hours, and on ans wering it I heard my son's voice pleading with me to come to the police headquarters where he and his brother were held for drinking and disorderly conduct. When I finally was able to bring them home, I returned to find that my daughters were still out, and the Lord only knew where they were. My husband was still too Intoxi cated to understand the serious ness of my problem. While wait ing for my daughters, I prayed more earnestly than ever that we would lose our undeserved wealth, and be poor again. The following morning I had a very unexpected visitor. A very young and attractive woman paid me a visit She soon got straight to the point. She wanted me to divorce my poor, misunderstood husband so that she could marry him and make him happy. This, I promptly refused, and bade her dood-day. This night-marish life continued for three more years, and then the blow fell. My husband returned from his office looking like Death, and informed us all that, he was Broke. It seemed that he had been gamboling heavily all these years, and the last big plunge had wiped him out. All that was left was a dilapidated and sorely run-down small ranch, and we soon moved out in the country because there was no alternative. Almost overnight my husband seemed his old self again, and went into the ranch life like an "old timer." But my children's improvement was very slow, as they pouted and refused to help us with the unending chores. But finally, as their health improved from the ravishes that their hectic living had caused, each began to take on several self appointed du ties. Being young and normal, it was natural for them to soon come out of their shells, and enter the life of our little community. It has now been six years ago that we moved to our little ranch. In this time, it has been changed by hard work on all of our parts, into a very fine place. All the children are happily married to fine, honest, hard working com panions.

' ' The Living Faith Lesson for March 19, IMS MANY a funeral sermon has been preached over the Chris tian church, but somehow the corpse never stays put What keeps It go ing? All sorts of explanations have been given by unsympathetic out siders. The church (we are told) Is an upper-class hobby, or a lower- class opiate; it is a social club, It is a burial society; It panders to pride, or it is a perverse form of self-torture; it is kept alive by a well run organization. Such explanations An nnf vnlnfn. fhn truth is at heart Dr Foreman quite simple: The church is kept alive by faith. What is Christian faith, the faith of the church? A study of the Scripture for trds week, or a broader search through the New Testament from end to end, will convince any Impartial reader of the falsehood of some of the notions about what Christian faith is. Some have claimed that it is nothing but faith in the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Let the reader try to find this In the New Testament if he can. If you had said this to an early Christian, he would have replied along this line: That is just the problem how can we become sons of God? How can men achieve brotherhood? Others tell us that faith is belief in a series of doc trines. Let the reader search the New Testament and see If he can find there anything about faith in a creed. Sometimes this notion takes another form that faith originally waa a belief that Jeans' beliefs were true; in other words, that faitb is accepting the "religion of Jesus." Now the church from the begin ning believed that Jesus' thoughts were true thoughts; but faith was never a simple second-hand ac ceptance of any one's creed, not even that of Jesus. The faith we find in the New Testament is none of these things. Still less is it faith in the saints, in Mary, or in an "infallible" church. Faith: Not About, But In . . . THE FAITH that broke out in glorious light in those early days of the church, and has con tinued shining down through the centuries, was not belief about any-' thing or anybody, it was belief IN Some One; and that Some One was Jesus Christ There is a simply astonishing variety of ways 'in which he is spoken of in the New Testament He is Son of Man, he is teacher and healer, he is the first-born of many brothers; he is Priest and Sacrifice, he is the Propitiation, the Reconciler of men to God; he is Master and Lord, be is the Word that is, what God has to say to us; he is the Son of God, be sits on the throne of the universe, he will judge every man. To put it quite bluntly, the church believed (and still believes) in a supernatural Christ and not only in a human Jesus. They believed in him as a teacher, as the Teacher indeed; but not merely as one whose teachings had been inter rupted by an untimely death. They did not "play down" his death, on the contrary they played it up. Christ crucified for ns Is al ways strongly la their minds. Bat they were far from leaving him as it were ea a crucifix. Any form of Christianity that thinks of Jesus chiefly as a Christ mas baby; or a starry-eyed ideal ist; or as a pathetic figure hanging on a crucifix is a perversion of New Testament ways of thought Everywhere In the center Is the Christ who "was dead and is alive forsvermore." There Is No Other YOUNG MOSLEM who became " a Christian and Is very happy about it was asked what It was that changed him, for Moslems are hard to -change. It was not en argu ment he said, it was the Hves of some missionaries in Iran whom he knew. - v- " He wanted what they kad-it wse as simple as that. And ha ' weat ea to say this: '"Christian ity doesn't have snaeh fa theat 17 that Mohammedanism doesn't have. There Is Jut eaa , thing Christianity baa- that we didn't have, nor anything tike It: Jeans Christ" . That is what that Is whs wins men today, and that was the secret of the early church, and that is the secret today of the living church everywhere: Christ alive by faith lo the lives of those .who love him.
