Prophecy in the Scriptures means both a foretelling of events and the teaching of the Word of God. 2. It Outlasts Speaking With Tongues (v. 8). The race once spoke the same language, but as judgment for sin and rebellion, God brought confusion and caused the people to speak many tongues. 3. It Outlasts Knowledge (v. 8). The knowledge we now have Is onlyrelative, tut the day Is coming when the relative knowledge shall tie done away by the coming In of a wider and nobler Intelligence. Seed Grain Cast forth thy act, thy word, Into the ever living, ever working universe; It is a seed grain that cannot die; un- , noticed today, it will be found flour- | ishlng as a banyan grove after a thousand years.—Thomas Carlyle.

WHY GO TO CHURCH? • ♦ “What’s wrong with the world’’’ asked Gilbert Chesterton and Gwen Wister, wrote a magazine article on i "The Pentecost of Calamity." The thing that’s wrong with the world is this: While we have develop ed such marvelous physical power we have not grown souls equal to wedding it; we have, of course, grown spiritually and morally, but not as rapidly as we have grown physically; w e have not spiritual control over the physical powers which we possess. We think of this problem In the third person; we excuse ourselves by saying. "They did it.” What the world is or may bo depends upon you and me. If it is true that our spiritual powers have outsripped our our spiritual power, then I must seek spiritual power* as my contribution in solving the world problems. The Church Is the one institution charged with the task of generating spiritual power. With the Church each one must make points of contact if spiritual power shall be possessed. WHY NOT GO TO CHURCH NEXT SUNDAY? ■ - —o Three things to think about—life, death and eternity. • • ® Religion must be used if you expect to keep it sweet. • * « Indifference and trifling are more discouraging to face than bitter persecution. * * * We should never confound tempera ment with character. Temperament is a fluctuating mood. Character is a fixed and permament thing. » « « It is by no means a certainty that life was intended to be hard, but it is very certain that inos tof us make life hard. • • • "If there be any kind words to say, and kind deeds to do, I want to do them now. For I know that I shall not pass this way again.” ♦ ♦ ♦ In our prayers we are far more ready to tell God what He can do to make us happy than we are to ask Him what we can do to serve Him. • « • The Church should maintain a minister, an official board, and a Sunday schol. and the test of efficiency for each is whether the spiritual life of the Church and the community is fostered.—Athearn. * « * The greatest misison of the Church is to get her members to go out into the world and live the real Christian life, not to go out to get sinners into the church. —Hollne. * • • He who knows the Bible may be called well educated although he may know little else, and he who is not acquainted with it is an ignorant man. whatever knowledge he may possess. —Professor Phelps of Yale. • • « One hour of sympathetic thought for the troubles of other people will do more to bring light and cheer into our own souls, than ten years of wondering and worrying. * * • Principle and practice must be combined to make a tine character. We may thrill at noble sentiments, may dream of high achievements, but these will not build a life unless they are put together by faithful doing in the common daily existence. * * * Marion Lawrence divided Christians into three classes: 1 — Rowboat Christians have to be pushed wherever they go. 2— Sailboat Christians always go with the wind. 3 — Stearaboast Christians make up their minds where they ought to go, and go there regardless of wind and weather. * — —- ♦♦♦ ♦ « » WEEKLY STORY OF EARLY * * education in the HOMES ’ Carl Ewald in his book, “My Little Son,” tells of an evening when his boy ca'me home boasting of bis part in the hounding of a Jewish boy who had joined their crowd that day. Mr. Ewald explained to his son the inestimable value of the Old Testament characters — Moses, Abraham, Isaac. Jacob, David —and Jesus—all of whom were Jews. The son was greatly impressed by his father s explanation and felt sorry that he had been guilty of insulting one who had such a fine family history; he felt

mean that he should have joined with the other boys In tormenting this lad Just because he was a Jew. Then they started out together, father and son, to search in the dark , streets for the Jewish lad. hoping they could find him and tell him they were sorry. They came home baffled, but the lesson of the search had burned itself on the mind of Ewald’s boy. That night, as the fhther and mother stood over their sleeping son, they noticed that he seemed fretful and nervous, wakeful and restless. The mother said, “Carl, I’m afraid our little boy is sick." EWald replied: “Don’t worry, mother. It will be all right. I know what is ailing him. 1 have Just inoculated him against the meanest disease in the universe—the disease of hate!” o ■ _ 2 THE QUESTION BOX • * • (Send problems in question form; answers will appear In later issue). 1. How secure new prospects for Sunday School membership? Have every one write on specia’ly prepared cards monthly the names of prospects; enlist a committee of women to visit homes of newcomers or non church people; enlist the help of the ice man, ladndryman. delivery boys, hucksters, messenger boys, store keepers, etc. to secure* names and addresses of possibilities. 2. How can we stimulate the Sunday school? Have such an interesting and helpful program every Sunday that folks will want to be there. Give pupils as much part as possible in running the school. This can be done by having every class whose members are 12 years and over organized to do worthwhile team work, rendering needed service to the Church, the community and the world. The class should be given a chance to share in the making of the programs —for worship, for the social life and for service. Every class should be given the liberty of caring for the class room, making it attractive and home-like. Class goals and class reports are valuable. o RELIGIOUS NEWS GAT’HERED * * • » ALL AROUND THE WORLD * « • A missionary in Constantinople was able to hear Philadelphia, Pa., by radio. The churches of America have planned for a building program this year amounting to over two hundred million dollars. During the last seven years, fortyfour young people of the First Baptist church, Tucson, Arizona, have entered school to prepare for definite Christian work. Government reports show 835 licensed broadcasting stations. Twentynine of these are located in churches or are for religious broadcasting. It is reported that 12,000 people heard mass recently in the Church of St. Nicholas. Atlantic City, N. J. Similar reports of attendance a mass at summer resorts are reported. Herbert P. Mains, 86. widely known in this country and in England and Scotland as a composer of church hymns and gospel songs, died Oct. 8, at his home in Newark, N. J. Among his favorite hymns are "Hold Thou My Hand,” "Shall We Meet Beyond the River," "The Bright Forever," and "Christ My All." President Coolidge hets accepted an invitation to attend the International Sunday school convention at Birmingham. Ala., in April, 1926. The National Council of the Congregaional Church meets in Washington, D. C., October 20-28. President Coolidge, who is "Honorary Moderator” of the Council, will preside at the opening evening session. A feature of the meeting is the “Young People’s Week-End,” when, there will be bight-seeing trips, and a call on President and Mrs. Coolidge. Universalist laymen from thirtytwo states and Canada will attend the biennial convention of the Universalist Church which meets at Syracuse, N. Y„ October 17-25. It is expected that action will be taken at the National Convention to make the National Laymen’s Committee a permanent organization. Speculation in the church world has been aroused also as a result of the recent action of the Northern California Congregational Conference, which urged that steps be taken toward a union of Congregatioirallsts and Universalists. This resolution will be discussed at the Syracuse cou

vontlon, and by the Congregatlonalists at their convention in. Washington. The Christian Century notes that a recent tornado in Alexanuer, la., totally destroyed the Congregational and Lutheran churches, moved the Methodist church off Its foundation, and destroyed the parsonage of the Reformed church. "Alexander, boasting a population of 400,” says the Century, “has been discussing the possibility of church union for a long time. A union Is due. It takes a tornado sometimes." o • ♦ ; COMMENTS ON THE J * SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON • ♦ ♦ Love, the Hope of the World —1 Cor. 13: 1-13 —for Sunday, Oct. 18. We have for our study one of the finest prose-poems in the Bible, the shining theme of which is LOVE. The importance of love as a necessary element of Christian character is shown by comparing it with other gifts and graces, V I—Eloquence first competes, and its music becomes clanging. Sound is sweet if love is in it, otherwise, it only "clangs.” Only charity shows heart values. Fine words without an equally fine spirit are unbeautlful. V 2 —Knowledge is next compared with love and found wanting "Though I have all gifts and have not charity, lam nothing." Right you are. Paul. Life without love is nothing. Love dignifies the humblest act Gifts are passing; graces are eternal. Gifts are granted to the favored few; the greatest grace is within the reach of all Faith steps forward, and we might ' surely expect to see it win the crown, but this grace retires vanquishes. V 3—Finally self-sacrifice comes forward bestowing all its goods as charity, and giving Ms body to be burned. Surely self-sacrifice wins the prize—but again love is triumphant. Vs 4-7 —Then the nature of love is unfolded. Drummond says that Paul has broken love up into its elements as follows: Patience — “Love suffereth long”; kindness —“and is kind"; generosity . —“Love envieth not”; humility—- " Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up”; courtesy—" Doth not behave itself unseemly"; unselfishness — "Seeketh not her own”; good-temper —“ls not easily provoked"; guilelessness—“Thinketh no evil"; sincerity —“Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth." Love knows Just when to advance tnd when to stand firm Vs 813-Then the permanence of ove is set forth—Tongues shall cease; knowledge also shall be done iway. (Religious truth is passing into new forms of larger knowledge ) Finally, when love fails, all things tail. What is of the nature of God cannot be outgrown. Faith first, hope and love, follow; aach abides. Seek the greatest—and the greatest of these is love.” » QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION • • * Love —the Hope of the World. — (I. Cor. 13:1-13) for Sunday. October 18. 1— What makes love the heart and eenter of the Christian religion? Is .it easy to love folks? 2— What makes a man a sounding brass or a clanging symbol? 3 — What social problems would the spirit of mutual love solve? 4 — Why is it people put on airs? 5 — What are some of the "all things” FRIENDS SAY SHE IS PICTURE OF HEALTH " I cannot five Teniae too many thank®.

GET ANDERSON TIP 1 Police Hear That Notorious Criminal 1 Is Back In Muncie; Believe He 1 Is Dope Addict. Muncie, Ind. Oct. 14 — George 1 "Dutch" Anderson, arch-criminal and , killer, is back in Indiana. That Is the suhstance of a tip which caused local police to renew their ( activities for the arrest of the man who is charged Jointly with Charles , "One-Arm” Wolfe, with the murder of ( Ben and Mary Hance last August. ( The tip received by the police was that Anderson returned to Muncie a 1 ; few days ago. It is believed that he is in hiding in or near Muncie. Police are of the opinion that Anderson is a dope addict and that he returned for a supply of dope which t he has cached here. Last summer two men, Dr. R. H. Splckerman. and Dr. C. W.

for selling narcotics. Splckerman is known to have heen a friend of Gerald Chapman and It is believed that Anderson obtained his dope from the same source. Anderson and Chapman, who now faces death by hanging in the Connecticut slate prison, made this city their hangout prior to Chapman’s arrest last January. All places known to have been frequented by the gung at that time are being closely watched by detectives under the direction of Fred W. Puckett, who engineered the arrest of Chapman. If Anderson is arrested it is likely that he will lie brought to trial at once, provided the federal authorities lak ethe same action that was taken in the Chapman case. Chapman who with Anderson escaped while serving a long term in the Atlanta prison, was loaned to the state of Connecticut to stand trial for murder. O ... —Subscribe For The Daily Democrat —
