WHAT PRICE BROTHERHOOD

“Love the brotherhood”,—I Pet. 2:17.
The ministry and laity of the church
should be one great brotherhood. There
should be no strife nor bickering. Op-
pression-and injustice ought not to be
found. Sympathy, understanding, in-
terest, cooperation, and sharing are
the things that should have prominent
place. Tricks,, schemes, and collusion,
are works of the devil and have no place
except in the hearts of his followers.
Ungodly ambition and_ inordinate de-
sires will go when a real conception of
brotherly love grips the human heart.
Richard Crale expresses a true senti-
ment when he says: “People talk about
brotherhood as if it were an easy senti-
ment, a sop, but it can be achieved in
practice only by the most austere spiri-
tual discipline. So long as it is emo-
tional it will accomplish nothing.” To
this, let all the brotherhood say :—
“Amen.” .
Read Psalm 15
Prayer Thought:

“We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;

And often for each other flows,
The sympathizing tear.”—Amen.

GRACE AT THE TABLE

It is a good thing to give thanks unto
the Lord and to sing praise unto Thy
name, O Most High, to show forth Thy
loving kindness in the morning and
Thy faithfulness every night—Amen.

could look, elevating their gaze as it
High.
Thunder and lightning and black clouds
were frequently present there—all of
them adding to the wonder of the oc-
casion. As Moses climbed slowly up-
ward these people went with him in
spirit. Surely something memorable
would come out of the clouds.

Moses knew the needs of the people
below. They were simple people, liy-
ing under simple conditions of society
and chiefly occupied in agriculture.
Moses must see to it that a rule was
given for prohibiting greaven images,
for capital offenses, for injuries to life,
for seduction, for veracity, etc.

How should he get these laws? Cer-
tainly no voice would come out of the
unknown to give the laws to them,
though that has usually been the belief.
Here he called his father-in-law, Jethro,
who had through many years talked
of the lands about Sinai and the rules’
that governed the people. Here he re-
membered all he had learned of how
the Babylonians had planned their laws.
Here he recalled the suggestions that
had come to him through the years of
marching in the wilderness. Putting all
of of this information side by side he
was able to produce ten rules necessary
for the further life and happiness of his
followers. He wrote them on a tablet
of stone as the thunder rolled across
the sky.

We may study each of the rules. We
have space to mention two or three.
The family is the unit of society and
must be strengthened and preserved.
There is the reason for the words:
“Honor thy father and thy mother.”
Mother’s day is a partial aid to this
command. It would be of great aid if
Mother’s day could be called “Family
day” and let it suggest that the entire
family worship God together and feast
together in love.

The sacredness of human life is em-
phasized when we say, “Thou shalt not
kill” We can kill people by the use
of an implement of death or by the
castigation of their character or in some
other piercing way. When little child-
ren hiss the picture of a high govern-
ment official when it appears on a
screen at the movies there is evidence
of a lack of understanding of the word
sacredness in the homes of the child-
Ten};

It is still true that purity is sacred
and-truth is sacred. When Moses gave
these commandments to men he met
an eternal need.

THE LESSON BROUGHT DOWN
TO DATE
By John R. Ewers

_ Many people have abandoned the idea
that Moses went up into a mountain
and received from God, carved on tab-
lets of stone the Ten Commandments.
We now know that similar ethical codes
existed among other nations even in
times earlier than that from which our
lesson dates. There are not lacking
those who say that Moses probably had
seen the Code of Hammurabi. It must
be obvious to any student that these
commandments are not only fundament-
al but primitive They stress the most
elemental things and while it is always
yaluable for ues to check up our moral
lives according to this code, even as
the Episcopalians are asked to do prior
to communion, neverthelegs we must

not flatter ourselves as though we were
full-edged Christians if we are able to
pass this examination by a grade of 80
or 90%. It is quite likely that these
moral codes grew by the “trial and
error” method. Men have always tried
yarious paths to the goal. They have
attempted every possible door and only
by failure and suffering have they
learned to avoid the wrong and to
choose the right. Immanuel Kant, the
great German philosopher, laid down
the rule that each man was to behave
in such a manner as he would be willing
for all the rest of men to behaye—
which is only another way of stating the
Golden Rule. Let us, from this point
of view, examine the “Ten Words.”

The first commandment concerns the
worship of Jehovah. The ancient world
was full of polytheism. These many
gods were not only false but confusing
and the people were therefore, called
away from pagan idolatries to the wor-
ship of the one true God. This step
from polytheism to monotheism must
be regarded as a most important one.

The-second commandment states that
God is to be worshiped spiritually, “God
is a spirit and they who worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
And for that reason all idols, graven
images, pictures were forbidden to the
ancient Jews, the entire effort being to
understand God as a great Spirit and
to worship him in this lofty manner.

The third commandment states that
God’s personality was to be reverenced.
The ancient Jews never pronounced the
name of Jehovah, in his way seeking
to have it from profanity. It was an
early and delicate appreciation of the
danger of taking God’s name in vain
and may be regarded not only as a pro-
test against modern profanity but
against the glibness and flippancy with
which even church people employ the
hame of the deity.

The fourth commandment dealt with
reverence for God’s day. The Sabbath
day was to be kept holy. It should be
kept clearly in mind that the ancient
Sabbath day was quite different from
our modern Sunday.

The fifth commandment concerns
our attitudes toward our” fathers and
mothers. By bitter experience they are
learning in Russia today that a disre-
gard for and disrespect. of parents
breeds immortality and the young com-
munists are now turning back toward
respect for parents even as the state
is encouraging greater fidelity in do-
mestic relationships. Long life and hap-
pineSs do result from the right attitude
toward parents.

The sixth commandment is, “Thou
shalt not kill. In a primitive society
men had to be told by harsh means not
to kill their neighbors. We who think
that we have advanced to a higher
grade of civilization still lack in our
appreciation of the value of human life.

The seventh commandment concerns
adultery. Here we face the whole prob-
lem of correct sex behavior in a mod-
ern complex society. The question is
too vast and complicated to discuss in
the space of a paragraph. But if the
commandments teaches anything, it is,
even in its lowest form, the insistence
ipon respect and reverence for the other
man’s wife or for the other woman's
husband. In a word, fidelity in a mar-
ried relationship.

The eighth commandment concerns
stealing, and here again unfortunately

we have not made the progress that we
should. Plenty of people seem willing
to steal from the government, receiving
everything and giving nothing.

The ninth commandment concerns

lying, or in other words it calls atten-
tion to reverence for the truth.

POINTERS
By Roy L. Smith

We may say we have no other gods

before him, but all too many of us
are ready to:give an extra two per cent
profit the preference.

The church will never save this world

by trusting in the powers of this world.

Breaking the ten commandments does

not destroy them.

Some things said with the sound of

great piety are, in reality, actual pro-

fanity.

PRAYER THOUGHT
By William Chalmers Covert

Solemnize our hearts, we'pray, O God,
as we approach for study and better
understanding Thine ancient laws. May
we-recognize them as divine principles
underlying the fundamental existence
and total order of life itself. May we
know that before Thou didst write them
on tables of
them in our natures as the unchangeable
formulas of
and progress.

stone Thou didst write

human health, happiness

Do Thou, we pray, give us sensitive
consciences as we repeat these com-
mandments, that we may be impelled to
obey them in letter and spirit. Let their
influence permeate our statutes in city,
state and nation, so that in the multi-

plicity of laws we may not fail to in-

corporate the true essence of all laws
that seek to honor Thee and advance
human welfare. Save our laws from

the degradation of heedless violations
that mar their dignity and worth. In
Jesus’ name we ask—Amen.

THE CHRISTIAN RECORDER

Chasing the gloomy clouds away,
A loving smile from you each day
Will drive somebody's cares away.

If you cannot lend a helping hand,
To help a struggling fellowman,
The tender clasp of your gentle hand
Will tell him that you understand.

Jeeds you do each day
meone along the way;

ansewered duty’s call.

“THE USE OF THE BIBLE IN

little they actually know about the

eye strain. Tonsils become affected and
infected. Physical organs are not made
of stuff that will endure indefinitely.
The repair shops of the doctor, the
dentist, and the oculist gather many
folks who need repairs. The drug store,
the cosmetic counter, the hairdresser,
and the beauty shop, tell an anxious
story. This earthly house of our taber-
nacle (living place), this house of hu-
man clay, needs as much looking after
and repair as does the house of tiore
substantial material in which we spend
some waking and sleeping hoiirs.

What is trie of our physical bodies is
true of our spiritual selves. The soul
must have seasons of careful going-
ver. Notice how David felt it—“Create
in me a clean heart, and renew within
me a right spirit.” If you lose your
sense of God, and are out of tune with
the Infinite, you must take your soul to
he workshop of God. In the most hum-

the fierce attrition of life and folks—
seek the House of God! Rare place
for renewal! “He restoreth may soul”—
testifies the Psalmist.

Things That Endure
Fortunately, there are some things
that never seem to wear out nor need
repair.

The physical universe and its machan-
ism has remained since “In the begin-
ning.” The sun has risen each morning
to greet us. If the clouds are in the
sky, “behind the clouds is the sun still
shining.” If one-half of the sun is
above the horizon. It doesn’t take
much faith to believe for the other half.
The moon beams on landscapes and
lovers through the ages. The stars
shine on “forever and ever” as far as
we are concerned. Job noted the same
constellations of Orion and the Pleiades,
Just as you and I noted them this win-
ter. The Big Dipper in the north and
the Southern Cross in the south shone
for Adam and Eve in Paradise, for
Isaac when he went out into the fields
at eventide to meditate and they speak
to us, as to David, that, “The heavens
declare the glory of God.”

The tide rises and falls twice in 24
hours with unfailiig_ faithfulness in
every sea, bay, cove and inlet. The
seasons come and go with endless
succession — winter with its snows,

If there is a tragedy observable, \
is how lightly we regard youth, beauty
and health, and how pitifully and fran-
tically we try to get them back whien
they are gone. High ideals neglected

Nature—the Repair Carpenter

Some things, given time and atten-
tion, will repair themselves.

The broken born will knit again.
Under proper care and conditions the
cut and wound will heal — through
possibly leaving a scar. The slight ill-
ness passes away. Many are “not well”

Trouble is an apothecary that mixes
many bitter doses. We take our medi-
cine perhaps withwry faces and in
protesting mood. But we “get over it.”
Time heals most wounds—even those
of the heart. Our wrangling, :jangling
and quarreling maf be gotten over
speedily, if we meet in spirit of love,
mutual concession and forgiveness. We
may soon share our salt, and laugh
mirthfully, with our “enemy,” at our
misunderstandings and grievances. —

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.

This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water ats
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his. skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor sk'n irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped.

The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him. t

EDUCATING A NATION

About one-forth of the total popula-
tion of the United States attends full-
time day school. This is pointed out in
* Biennial Survey of Education in the
United States just issued. There are
27,147,729 enrolled in public schools.

Significant changes in enrollment in
the Nation were found to be indentical
with conditions in Philadelphia. There
an increase only from the sixth to the
twelfth grade, with a decrease below
the sixth grade. Of the average class
graduating from high school, about 333
of each orginal 1000 enrolled pupils in
the fifth grade remain.

ROMANS STARTED IDEA OF
FAMILY PORTRAITS

Origin of Sculptures Is Traced by
German Scientist to Barbaric
Burial Custom

Ancient Romans started the idea of
family portraits, To see the custom
it its start, go back to ancient Rome.
Noble Romans paraded the sculptured
busta of their ancestors, literally par-
aded them, These proofs of their aris-
tocratie lineage were brought out and
marched alone in faneral processions
of distinguished dead, says Emily ¢
Davis in @ copyrighted Science Service

In spite of the increase in high school
enrollment of 89 per cent, there was a
decrease of 8468, or

d 3.3 per cent
in the number of teachers in
those grades. The total number of
teachers in public and private schools

was placed at 1,018,000.

The actual number of freshmen in
college was 33,9 per cent of the number
of high school graduates the year be-
fore. It was found that of the 1000 en-
rolling in the fifth grade, fifty-two were
graduated, from college. Such surveys
give an idea of the great part the
public school system plays in the lift of

the Nation —Philadelphia Evening Pub-
lic Ledger.

poems. The last poem runs as follows:

To Break Ground for the construction
of a new church. The new building to
be a novel one, it will be a combination
church and parsonage. The present
pastor, Rev. L. W. Glascow came here
seven months ago. He states the church
is making progress, because of what it
is doing for the members and the com-
munity. The Rev. Glascow was appoint-
ed to this charge last November by
Bishop Noah W. Williams. He is a na-
tive of Mississippi having been born in
Holly Springs and attended Rust Col-
lege. He is an ex-soldier, founder and
president of Glascow Products Com-
pany, manufacturing pure food pro-

Maguinez, assisted by the pastor, Rey.
M. A. Stewart, Rev. I. Bess, and Rev. A.
Gupton. All Christians present par-
took of the sacramental rites, and de-
parted with the feeling that each had
received a distinct blessing by their
attendance at this quarterly meeting.
From a financial stand-point also, the
quarterly reports were excellent, as
nearly every treasury of the various
departments had balances after submitt-
ing reports.

Bethel Church has been progressing
wonderfully under the leadership of
Rev. W. A- Stewart, who is serving his
second term as our pastor. In 1936,
back interest for a period of 5 years
was paid, and the principal was lowered
considerably. All current obligations
have been paid to date, and a gradual
decrease in the entire outstanding in-
debtedness has taken place, With God’s
will, we are looking forward to the
liquidation of the entire outstanding in-
debtedness of $1,000.00 on July 11th,
when a gigantic financial rally will be
held. God being our Helper, we ex-
pect to be free from debt, when Rey.
Stewart journeys to Annual Conference
in September.

We sincerely ask the prayers of al
