Moslem. So I know why the early; Jews were so prone to slump from j the pure worship of Jehovah into' | the practices of the surrounding | heathendom. When we read of strange culls arising in our own I land, mingling esoteric sensualism I with perversions of truth, we may 1 know that nothing new is taking place. Many persons view lightly the ; contemporary mood of disdain for | doctrine. Yet all clean living ensues from sound thinking. “As a 1 man thlnketh in his heart, so is he.” The young person whose faith in God. and knowledge of God's word, is clear and intelligent, will not be led astray by the unmoral tleshists whom Jude condemned. If patriots and parents, who de-, plore the demoralising tendencies' of much modern literature and a ' musement. were to realize the dir- ; ect and all-potent connection be-[ tween strong, wholesome living and knowledge of the Scriptures, there would be a rush into the Church and the Sunday School, t Ramparts of Defense Probably it was this thought that the Lesson Committee had in mind when they entitled this Lesson. “Christians in God's Keeping." For to be kept in the truth' is stand behind the strongest ram-' parts. Jude's concern may well be I ours—that Christians think sanely' and loyally. “Scatter-brained'' is the adjec- ■ five that fits a great deal of the religious thinking of our time, In 1 addition to the watered-down humanism and naturalism of the so-' called “intellectuals." we have the] , many abberations of sincere Chris- ( tians. who have run off on side-' tracks from the main line of the New Testament's teaching, into! holiness cults, healing cults, mil-l lenialism cults. Anglo-Israel cults, I perverted prophetic teachings, numerology. pyrumidism. and dear knows what else. Without entering into a discussion of any of these, it is sufficient condemnation of them all that they have u surped the first place which the Bible claims for Christian discipleship and service. Why prowl a-. long abscure alleys when the broad highway of clear truth in-I vites our feet? This Man Jude Only this short, one-chapter letter has come to us from Jude. He says that he meant to write a gen oral letter upon the Christian faith but he found himself so disturbed by the immorality that had crept into the brotherhood that he felt “constrained to write and cheer you on to the vigorous defense of the faith delivered once for all to God's people.” From a literary standpoint, Jude does not rank high. Yet he had unique authority for speaking out. He describes himself as the brother of James; which means that he was also the brother of Jesus in the flesh. Neither he nor James mentions this supremely interesting fact. With them, the human tie had been overwhelmed by their acceptance of the unique divinity and Saviourhood of Jesus, their brother. James even calls himself j | the bond servant of Jesus Christ.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1937.

Both men wore content to standi on the same plane as the rest of us. as simple disciples of Christ. I James became head of the Church In Jerusalem. Jude retained a subordinate place. He was not an apostle. Apparently, he remained in Palestine, an object of peculiar affection to the Christians, because of his relationship to Jesus. His zeal for pure religion is understandable from this standI point. He was impatient of merely I professional Christianity; and for jthftse who cloaked evil living unI der religious profession he had oni ly abhorrence. I At the close of his brief letter, I Jude rises to a sublime height of I ' expression, in the benediction I .which every reader may appropriate to himself: I "Now unto Him that Is able to* keep you from falling and to pre- , sent you faultless before the pres-1 j ence of His glory with exceeding 1 Joy, to the only wise God our Sav-! | four, be glory and majesty, doin-j , inion and power, both now and ev- 1 er. Amen." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS I Prayer is the key of the day and the lock of the niifht..—Phillips Brooks.

I have had l nothing whatever to do with it , since that time. I abandoned it. I completely discontinued any asso- 1 elation with the organization. I have never resumed it and never expect to do so." Black said he had joined the klan "about 15 years ago.” He re-, signed after he entered the senate for the first time, 11 years ago. As proof that he has no sympathy with klan prejudices against Catholic, Jews and Negroes, he cit-! ed his record of liberalism in the senate. He had sVa r,p( l hla hrief speech with an attack — indirectly put—; against persons he deemed respon-j sible for the expose of his klan' affiliation. i It was not an explanation and much less an apology. His apparent desire was to make a statement of fact from a man who was' and would remain a justice of the supreme court. At the end. he said: Ends Discussion i “When this statement is ended my discussion of the question is i closed.” Constitutional authorities agreed that there was no possibility of; successful impeachment proceedings against Black. They said , that past affiliation with the Ku' ; Klux Klan was not grounds for imi peachment. In Boise. Ida., Sen.
