(., SATURDAY. BY HUBERT C. HERRING Noted Liberal Writer. Lecturer. Preacher, Bosion. God is about to turn the world upside down. This was the alarming news of the prophet. It was a time of wars and murders. All sorts of vice was mpant. Social injustice and in- equality were everywhere. The poor became poorer, the rich richer. God will end it. He will shake the earth and move the heavens. The kings of the earth will be removed from their thrones, and the Lord will punish “the host of the high ones.” The prophet blamed the stars for the troubles of his people. The “high ones” are the stars which con- trol the affairs of men. There were no astronomers in the prophet’s day; astrology was the only sclence which he knew. The astrol- oger saw & universe peopled and con- trolled by mysterious and sovereign spirits which warred with each other, waging their battles in the hroad bat- tlefield of the heaven: “The host of the high ones"—the stars, each with its own name, each with its pet griev- ances and likings, each with its espe- clal favorites among the kings and the peoples of the earth, each playing its favorites against the favorites of the other stars. Superstition? Of course. The world has been muddling through super- stition for centuries: It has still a long way to go before it extricates itself from the welter of primitive astrology and witchcraft. Superstition clings to religion with the tenacity of a leach. The tragic fact s that there are so many people who refuse to admit it, who refuse to clear religion of this muddy vesture of decay. But the prophet foresees the day when the “host of the high ones" shall be punished. That day came in a way which he certainly did not expect. Emancipation came at the hand of the reverent and painstaking scientist who measured the stars through his tele- scope, analyzed them by his spectrum, welighed them in his balance. The as- tronomer fulfils scripture, and sets free the mind of man. Do mnot be too hard on the prophet for his credulity. He lived over 2,500 vears ago. He had no text books on astronomy. A large part of the world still persists in holding to a world con- trolled by magic and the stars. If it were not so, an army of palmists and fortune tellers and astrologists would g0 hungry. Religion grows up like everything else. Science goes through the same i process. The nearer they come to ma- turity, the closer are they together. |CHILDREN’S DAY PLANNED Services Announced for Concordia Lutheran Evangelical Church.

TODAY'S TEXT: The Lord shall punish the host of the high ones.—Isalah, raiv:21. D. D York, BY JOHN ROACH STRATO! Pastor_ Calv: Baptist Church, New President Fundamentalist Leasue This prophecy of Isaiah sounds the note of judgment impending doom against Israel be- cause of her transgression Tts deeper significance lles in the fact that the doom is to fall heaviest on “the high ones" those most promi- nent and strong among the leaders. 1t {s but another way of saying that men are judged “according to thelr lights.” “From him to whom much has been given, mucl shall be required. “Art thou a Ruler in Israel, and ¢. knowest not these PR STRATON. hings?" asked Jesus of Nicodemus, And again the Master safd: “And that servant which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes, for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have com- mitted much, of him they will ask more."—(Luke, xii.47-48). What a warning and call to the learned, the rich and the strong peo- ple of today who are setting the example of selfishness, self-indulgence and luxury-loving in the hour of threatened social decay! That keen observer of our modern life, Mr. Sisley Huddleston, writing in a recent issue of the Atlantic Month- 1y,” scathingly denounces these abuses of the rich and strong. He says: ‘The new rich constitute a rotten- ness in the marrow of clvilization and the rottenness must affect all the members.” And how callous are individuals within - the ranks of the so-called stronger elements of our society to these heart-breaking condittons, and | of their selfish and sinful luxuries and self indulgences, even in the face | of the needs of a dying world, he savs: | “I stand looking on at the brilliant | scene in the ballroom of gne of the | most fashionable Continental hotels. | The unprecedented display of wealth shamelessly contrasts with the deep misery of masses of people.

BALTIMORE, June 12.—Sympathy with youthful interests plus fair play equals religion. That was the theory of Rev. Howard O. Keen, vice presi- dent of the Federation Sunday School League and pastor of the Brooklyn M. P. Church. He undertook to prove it. Like the notes of the pied piper, his announcement of the formation of the Calvary Athletic Association brought vouths from the streets of South Baltimore. The recruits had earned a reputation for profanity and excessive smoking. One regulation of the association was against profanity. Another pro- hibited smoking while engaged in athletics. Oné of the requirements for mem- bership in the assoclation was at- tendance at two church services a ‘month. “If you pick these boys off the street ‘and tell them they have to g0 to church every Sunday, you would scare them to death,” Rev. Mr. leen explained. *“But when they Pastor Substitutes Base Ball for Bible, | With Street Gamins come and like the church and get ac- quainted with the minister, they soon attend regularly of their own accord. The association was a success, Perhaps Rev. Mr. Keen's two crooked fingers, the result of his base ball days at Western Maryland College, had something to do with it. Perhaps the prospective diamond stars figured the father of a great pitcher like Vic Keen of the St. Louis Cardinals couldn’t be the regulation type preacher. They found he wasn't. “If a fellow does you a dirty trick don’t do him a dirty trick in return,” he told the boys. “If you do you are Just as bad as he is.” The result of this was that when a player purposely hit Robert Sapp, one of the ball tossers, in the jaw when he was coming into the homeplate, he literally turned the other cheek. That gn‘)‘ll:e up rowdyism on the athletic eld. “The only thing you have to watch 1s to see that sports do not run away with the church,” Rev. Keen said.

Her looks, words and actions were aimed at one who was subject to “Ike pas- sions such as we are.” From a hu- man standpoint, complying with the temptation, appeared to be the easfest way out of his problem. Joseph's attitude proved that he saw in the trial a challenge for him to fulfill both his so-called obligations and spiritual duty. His answer prov- ed that he had had kept in close con- tact with Jehovah throughout all of his trials, testings and temptations. He had learned to be obedient to Him in all things. He faced the tempta- tion of his master’s wife and con- quered one of the greatest trials of his life because of his religious ideals. helped him meet his social obliga- tions to Potiphar.

Thou makest the wrath of man to praise Thee: and with the remainder thereof Thou gird- est thyself.” The resisting elements of Joseph's life found a complete ex- pression in his prison trials. His tri- umphs in the “dark hole” should in- spire all who are persecuted for right- | eousness' sake, with the confidence that they can triumph even in prison.

Prisoners open up their hearts to one another. Joseph made friends of his fellows, who shared with him the “large, gloomy hall, with no windows, paved with flags, black with fiith, no | ight or air save what may struggle | through_the narrow grated aperture, by which the friends of the wretched inmates or some pitying strangers pass in the food and water, which are the sole staff of life; no arrange- | ments being made for cleanliness or for the separation of the prisoners.” There was no limit placed upon Jo- seph In his confinement except the fetters, which hurt him and inter- ferred with his movements, and he had liberty of intercourse and fellow- ship with all the other prisoners. His success here, as in the palace, was due to the presence of God, who filled his servant’s soul with iron, so that he endured his trial: Sin 1s the only thing that can sever our re- lations with God.

His only reward was Remember me when it It was a | modest and pathetic prayer that he made to the great officer of state, to whose dream he had given a favor- able interpretation. The great man assured him of favorable considera- tion, but strangely forgot it, until, as we will see in our study next week, the dream of Pharaoh recalled to him his fellow prisoner, Joseph, and his power to interpret dreams. Little did Joseph ever dream when Potipher placed him within the prison walls that it was the road to power. His faithfulness to his master, and to his Lord, had brought him into prison where the presence of God sus- tained him and helped him to aid others. The spiritual insight that Je- hovah imparted to Joseph sustained and strengthened him in his trouble, teaching him and us, that if we are faithful to Him and witness for Him in every place, that we will never drift beyond His care and love. | Loyalty to his religlous convictions | gave Joseph triumph when he was| sold into slavery, when he served!
