John Hart, student pastor of the University of Pennsylvania, who will have general charge of Bishop Ingram's program in this section of the country. A visit to the White House is proposed as a part of the program. Bishop Ingram has given out in very definite terms that he wishes to spend his time as much as possible . with the college men, playing tennis and golf with them and talking to them in small groups and does not wish for elab- orate entertainment or large public zatherings.

Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee.”—Lev., x.9. Obedience to law is one of the vital questions that America must face. Eminent jurists and leaders of the American bar have pointed out a growing tendency to disregard not only the Constitution of the Nation but the laws of the community, Coms monwealth and country. It Is claimed that ‘‘crime costs the United States $10,000,000,000 a year—more than three times The national budget for last year.” Various factors enter into the spirit of disobedience that will, unless checked, curbed and controlled, bring an end of our country’s career. Prob- ably no factor is more important than the American home. It is sald that this time-honored institution is degen- erating. It is pointed out that “one in seven marriages” end in divorce court, so that “we have, on the per- centage basis, 30 times as many divorces as Great Britain.” This of itself tends to remove from the mil- lions of children the discipline of the well ordered home. In other homes, where disagreement, discord and dis- solution have not entered, the rod has been laid aside. The spirit of dis- respect is seen in the schools of our land when a teacher seeks to enforce discipline. The disregard of authority in the modern vouth can be traced to the parents who have failed to prop- erly correct their children. It is still true that if we spare the rod we will | spoil the child. An irreligious home is apt to develop children who will break the laws, fill our penal institu- tions and clog the criminal court cal- endar. This lesson {s assigned as a tem- perance lesson with the view of pre- senting the evidence, that is apparent to most people, to prove that one of the greatest sources of disregarding the country’s law is found in the large number of Americans who de- sire to use liquor to such an extent that the Nation faces the duty of either overcoming the gigantic boot- legging combinations or suffer the results that any nation will reap that breaks its fundamental law. No mat- ter how men may differ as to the wisdom, blessings or right of any law, our lesson points out the truth that | law enforcement promotes prosperity. Law Observance Blesses. The opening verses point out the fact that the laws, which the nation was called upon to observe were those pertaining to the proper rec- ognition of Deity and the Sabbath. Justice Cooley, one of the justices of the Supreme Court of Michigan, has given us a decision based on Sir Matthew Hale's statement that *“Chris- tianity is parcel of the common law. that in our land we need to recall. In it he said: “It is frequently said that Christianity is part of the law of the land. In a certain sense, and for certain purposes, this is true. But the law does not attempt to en- force the precepts of Christianity on the ground of their sacred character or divine origin. Some of these pre- cepts are universally recognized as being incapable of enforcement by human laws, notwithstanding they are of continual and universal ob- ligation. Christianity, therefore, is not a part of the law of the land, in the sense that it would entitle the courts to take notice of and base thelr judgments upon it, except so far as they should find its precepts had been incorporated in and thus become a component part of the law.” Under the common law blas- phemy is punishable, and “reviling is still an offense because it tends to corrupt the morals of the people and destroy good order.” ‘While the requirement of the prop- er attitude towards Jehovah and the observance of the Sabbath is not a part of the common law, yet there is nothing more conducive to pros- perity seeking first the Kingdom of God in all things. While it is an in- herent right for men to change law and seek the amendment of laws, the persons and nation that honor God and give Him one day in seven for His worship and service are assured that they will prosper, according to the teachings of this week’s lesson. The close relationship between spiritual and physical for success in any field calls for one to keep his soul in har- mony with God and his body fit for service by rightly observing one day every week in His worship. Our Lord made the test of our loyalty to Him along similar lines, when He said: “If ye love Me ye will keep my commandments.” It is only by cu tivating a genuine reverence for our God that we can solve America’s problems of enforcement of law. It goes deeper than an outward observ- ance of the law, for permanent and ablding success in our Nation's life. Our lesson condemns the manu- facture of idols and their worship in a way that ought to warn us, for un- ]ess we are obedient to His laws, our in- fluence upon the lives of men will be valueless. Obedience to God's will results in prosperity, peace and power. America’s greatest need at this mo- ment is a revival that will sweep the Nation until all the people learn the path of obedience to His word assures us individually and collective- ly personal freedom from the power of sin and gives us power to master its lawless spirit in our lives. While Chris- tianity is not a part of the law, it is the duty of all Christians to foster a reverence for law and promote ob- servance of all good laws, as well as agitate for the repeal of any un- wise legislation. 4 Wickedness and Woe. It is impossible to make men righteous by legislation. Obedience is an individual, voluntary and habitual matter, that will be promoted by studying the effects of disobedience and the drift away from God's lov protection and care. The great ad- vance that America has made in what has been called the greatest moral ad- venture in all history is seen in the fact that no one seeks today for the return of the saloon. Our country- men have seen its wickedness and woe and abolished it forever. We have no right to believe that any law placed upon the statue books is unchangeable. God’s laws alone are not subject to amendment. Bishop Fisher has pointed out that “we can- not deny to man, or to groups of men, the inherent right to change a law, or even to revolt individually, or to organize and conduct a revolution against what they regard as unjust or inadequate laws . . . . If to defy or to change the law makes a worse social order, then society must defend and_enforce the law.” ~Any changes made or proposed ought to give rea- sonable promise of an improved social order. Every person, who parti pates in the enjoyment of the inv ible protection of the Government has surrendered his individual rights and priveleges whenever they interfere with the welfare of the community. commonwealth or country. America has come to the cro i roads In its {nfluence upon the nations of the world. If we insist upon peo ple meeting their obligations to us and seek to build up a new era, based upon international law and brother- hood, then we must act as brothers and be law abiding ourselves. The nation that will not serve God is | doomed to perish. We are apt in our | day not to see this fact, vet Harper has cited for our consideration the evidence that proves it even to the | “modern mind,” that “scorns the idea that the fertitlity of the soil can be { affected by immorality.” He tells us that there is the whole of Mesopo- tamia to show that misgovernment can make a garden into a dessert. Where teeming populations once cov- ered the country with fruitful gar- dens and luxurious cities, there are now in the land of the Tigris and Euphrates a few handfuls of people and all the fertility of the country has disappeared. Irrigation channels which made all this live have been gradually fllled with drifting sand and one of the most populous countries of the world has become a desert. In Palestine the same thing can be seen. Under Turkish domination the char- acter of the soil has changed. In many places, where in ancient days the hills were terraced to the top, the sweeping rains have had thelr way and the very soil has been carried off, leaving only rocks to glitter in the pitiless sun. “The supreme test of good citizen- ship is,” says Senator Borah, “the capacity to obey the Constitution and laws when written.” We all need aid from above to exhibit the moral cour- age needed in every crisis and reveal the elements of the Christian spirit. that has given to us our Government and will enable us to practice self- denial, sacrifice and service so that our Government shall be preserved. We must heed God's word. Fear Him and keep His commandments. If we harken, then our souls shall live in harmony with Him, a life of sobriety, self-control and success.
