A “New Deal” For Judah, I And King Who Went Too Far (Getting Ready a (Generation of Citizens With Fit Minds, Bodies and Spirit, the Important Task —Old Story of Daniel.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Our uuwearled sun. in all hia millenaluma of vigil, baa never betor,seen such a specUcie aa be beholds on our witless lutie earth today. A frenzy of military ' prepar nines* obsesses the whole world Every nslkm is getting ready for war. Ail legislation and social operation move under the black pall of preparation for strife upon a I vaster scale than ever was dream-1 ed of by any world conqueror It It were not so patently true before our very eyes, we would deem the situation impossible, crazy and incomprehensible. Even the narrow-minded mililat ists who are responsible for this orgy of horror and hate perceive that they must have more guns and airplanes and ships Therefore notably under the dictatorship*, they have taken measures to make ready the minds and bodies of the masses, and especially of the 1 youth They seek a fit generation for unfit tasks So they are build- j Ing up the bodo-s and spirits of the ■ younger people, that they may be equipped for "the day." hi thia western world we have been las in thia primary preparedness. Comparatively little of a practical sort has been done to train youth for an uncertain tomorrow We are still in the stags of speculation and discussion, though many eyes are open to thia fundamental need. I read a great many commencement addresses in June, and it Was heartening to note the high tone and deep conviction ot these utterances upon the primary obligation of young men and women to get ready for highest objectives. Our Biggest Task Not In the arsenals or factories or shipyards Is the most essential work of preparation being wrought This Is a staggeimg task for all the forces that shape character How may w«- strengthen the spirit-. muscles of i>oy* and girls, young men and «<>men? What are they to do. and to retrain from doing, in order to bear themaelvrs triumphantly through civilisation'a fast approaching ordeal? To-do nothing is sinful, brainless folly. We have already made a beginning toward better bodies. Still we would be mors assured by a greater willingness on the part of youth to endure discipline and hardship Multitudes have slumped into a routine of cocktail parties moviegoing. cabaret-attending and comlewtrip literature The must les of body and mtnd go unheeded Do you recall the episode in “Hen Hur.** of the hero's training of a picked compan, ot young men to be ready when needed for the defense of the Nazarene? The wise youth of every community should nowadays be taking similar counsel with themselves aa to how to |he ready for the emergency that |ls surely Miming One Man Who Was Ready Thia implies a stern and heroic rejection of all that endangers and debilitates health There are mauy good rnasims for total abstinence from liquor; but the one of moot pressing Immediacy Is for the sake of fitness in the testing tomorrow It la heartening to note the growth of "milk bars'* throughout th<- Eaglish speaking woiid. and the in- ' reusing number of sensible youth who patronise them The central figure in this week's lesson story la Dsn lei. who ia first of all remembered for his abstinence from strong drink and rich foods. He kept bis I tody like a finely-tempered blade, ready when needed. Hia greatest hour ot opportunity came in the inldst of a royal carowaa; when suddenly there appeared blazing on the wall of the banquet room mysterious letters which none ot the court magi could Interpret. Daniel was called for. and he rendered the translation of *'Mene Mene. Tekel, L'pnarsin.'* to the panic stricken Belshazzar aa "God has numbered thy kingdom, and brought li to an end. Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting. Thy kingdom ia divided and given to the Persians." .assesses • ssssssses •Th* Bunday School Lesson for August 20 la. “Beverage Alcohol and the Community." —Joel 1:B-7; Daniel 5:1-5. 17. 25-28. jeeseeeee*

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1039.

A Visit to Babylon Before the war. I first visited the huge excavations of the Germans at Babylon, and the director. Dr. Ka ide way, took me on a tour of the rulus. One spot especially held my Interest, the royal banqueting room, with the alcove for the king on one aide, and the cuneiformstamped bricks of the floor still intact. Thia, he said, was undoubtedJ ly <he scene of Belabazzar'a feast, and it was on the wall, now gone, opposite the throne, that the mysterious writing had appeared. That visit to Babylon, even more than subsequent ones, impressed the place reality of the Daniel story upon my mind Attempts of higher critics to explain It all away leave me cold, and rather amuaed The total abstainer had the last word. Babylon fell, but Daniel rose. We recall, as we witness the ' ignominy of Belshazzar, that It was |in Babylon that Alexander the great died druuk. thus eliding a leßMar of splendor. Far a New. Fit Wens One does not have to delve into I history to find instances of the , consequence of strung drink. On- I I ly a few days ago. a young farmer i 1 known to me as habitually dissol- , I ute, was smashed up in an accident caused by a drunken prank. Every I day's newspaper tells tales of crime* and accidents caused by strong drink. Young people with good sense enough to want to be fit, and to live in decent communities. cannot be heedless of these signs. For there never was a staggering drunkard who was not first a moderate drinker Persona whose lives move by momentum — or inertia — may not be aware of the difference between these times and all that have gon before. Yet to any one • who will look, this Is one of the epochal periods in all human history. Destiny beyond all appraisal is in the making. We seem to I hear the words of Jesus. "Can we not discern the signs of the timesT" These signs all cry aloud for spirilual preparedness. They require sober, strong, seif-rest rained, thoughtful and Gud-controiled men and women, who discern aa their paramount duty the equipping of themselves and their communities for readiness to meet any emergency. We are on the road to a Bet ter Way ot life for everybody, in a world redeemed from the blight of alcohol, disease and social injustice SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS It your religion does not change you. then you bad belter change your religion. -David Gregg. • • • Deliberate before you begin, then execute with vigor Sallust. « • • Here Is a plan to follow.
