G(ivs PROMISE OF A NATION LESSON TEXT—Genesis 17:1-19. GOLDEN TEXT—I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed •after thee in thetr generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.— Genesis 17:7. God keeps His promises. It may have appeared that God had forgotten, but He had not, and in our lesson we find Him ready to fulfill His promise. We need to learn the lesson of patience, of awaiting God’s time for the carrying out of His purpose. He is not in any hurry, but He always arrives on time. If we travel life’s way with Him. all will be well. Abram found the fullness of God’s blessing because he sought His will for life and service. We find him I. Walking in God's Plan (vv. 1,2). The place of blessing is not in some cloistered refuge where the circumstances of life and its problems cannot disturb us. It is out in the daily walk with God, in the home, the office, the shop. What is God’s plan for the life of the believer? Just what He told Abram: “Be thou perfect.” Nothing less will do, for He is a perfect God. His law is perfect (Ps. 19:7). He requires a perfect obedience to the perfect law (James 2:10). This was His standard for Abram, and it can be no less for us. How shall we attain to it? Only in Christ can we meet and fulfill God’t plan of perfection. That means that as followers of the Lord we are to seek His power for the outworking of His grace in our lives. We are not to be content with a Christian life on a low standard or lacking any of the graces which God can give us. We, too, must recognize that if God is to give us His full measure of blessing, we must walk in accord with His will, walking in the light as He is in the light (I John 1:7). Much of the failure and impotence of present day spiritual life is explained by the willingness of Christians to live imperfect lives. 11. Talking of God’s Purpose (vv. 3-8). fell on his face in adoration and worship. In reverence and humility, he put himself in the place of subjection and service. What happened? “God talked with him” (v. 3). This man was ready for a . holy conversation with the Lord. His attitude of body was only the outward expression of an attitude of heart which was right. So God and he talked about the purpose of the Lord for Abram’s life. He had been Abram, which means, “exalted father,” that is, of a family or a tribe; now he became Abraham, “the father of a multitude.” This is the first of many instances in Scripture where a name was changed by God to mark an important event, or a change of heart. For example, Jacob “the supplant«r” became Israel, “a prince with God” (Gen. 32:28); Simon became Peter, "a rock” (Matt. 16:17, 18). The letter to the church at Pergamos speaks of the one who overcomes in Christ's name as having a new name written which no man knows save he that receives it (Rev. 2:17). Ute believer on Christ is a changed man, a new creature, whether his name be changed or not. God wants to change men—has He changed you? The promise is renewed to Abraham. It was to his “seed,” that is, his descendants. He took the blessing from God’s hand, accepting tilings that as yet were not, as though they were. God is able to make them come to pass (es. Rom. 4:46-18). 18. Trusting God’s Promise (vv. 9, 18). Down through the ages every man in the great host to descend from Abraham was to bear the outward token that be belonged to the covenant people, This was to be a symbol of and to lead the recipient into that attitude of heart which would bring outward rite into fulfillment as an-inward reality. Observe that after Abraham, it was always the parent who thus brought the son into the covenant. This speaks of the parental responsibility to bring the little children to the Lord, and it also gives us the precious assurance that God is interested in the children and ready to receive them at the hands of parents, taking them into His own tender care. Thus down through the generations, Israel was to show their faith in God, their assurance that He would keep His promises to them, and their consequent eagerness that their families should be counted into the covenant with God. Christ is ready and eager to undertake for our children. His grace is sufficient, not only for us, but also for ‘those who come after us. His promise is te our “children’s children” (Ev 103:17, 18), sucj) as keep Sis covert.” tp.\st Him. and put eurseivep and our chib in ■tikat where He may bletis us and them.

Company Develops New FM Receiver Plymouth Company Makes Announcement Chicago, July 27.—(UP)—Charles Wexler, chief engineer of the John Meek Industries, Inc., Plymouth, Ind., announced today that the company’s engineering staff had developed an FM receiver equipped to provide reception on the new 92 to 106 megacycle band. Meek said the Federal Communications commission had been notified of the development. The set also will cover the present FM broadcast band of 42 to 50 magcyclee, which eventually will become obsolete under an FCC ruling. and the band of 88 to 92 megacycles assigned for use by an expected 800 stations in presenting non-eoinmercial educational programs. “This new set would make it possible for a purchaser to own an FM receiver which would be ready for reception without changes or adjustment, the moment that the station changed to the new wave band,” Wexle said. He added that it would eliminate the necessity of costly converters or return of sets to factories for alterations. The Meek Co. plane to produce this new set as soon as materials are available, because present receivers will become obsolete as soon as the new frequency becomes effective, Wexler said _ o Soldier Is Killed In Fall From Train Cerro Gorodo. 111., July 27 — (UP)—The body of a soldier who fell from a Wabash railroad train here Saturday was tentatively identified today as that of Elpidio R.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Foresee Change In British Policies New Attitude For Spain Predicted Washington. July 27. — (UP)--Socialisni’e triumph in Great Britain left the United States alone today among the major powers as « purely capitalist democracy. One effect here.of British labor’s political victory is expected to be tremendous additional enthusiasm within ranks of American labor for direct political action. That might involve a break away from the old line parties, establishment of a new labor party throughout the country and the entry of candidates for local and national office in its name. Observers also look for some abrupt changes in British foreign policy now that control has shifted from old school tie conservatives to labor leaders. Typical of what may be expected is a new British attitude against the Spanish government of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Harold J. Laski, chairman of the British labor party and a socialist intellectual of international reputation. foreshadowed what is to come there in a statement last night: “At long last,” said Laski,* “we are going to be in a position to du fall justice to our Spanish comrades.” British laborites, the Russians and left wing elements throughout the world, including this country, long have been denouncing what they termed Anglo-American appeasement of Franco Spain. Observers thought Clement Attlee’s substitution for Churchill in the current--and any future—Big Three conference would ease a situation which consistently has found the United States in the middle when the personalities or interests of Winston Churchill and Josef V. Stalin clashed. But there are some obstacles to a clear break away from the conservative or “imperialist” point of view which lias determined British foreign policy for 200 years. Take Greece, where the Communist press alleges that a Fascist state is being set up under protection of British

bayonets. The interests of Great I Britain are enormous in the eastern Mediterranean, which is on the empire’s lite line to the Orient. , Some observers believe the alternative to British domination of Greece would be domination by Communist Russia. No British government, labor or otherwise, would lightly decide to order handsoff Greece is those are the alternatives. Argentina is another hot potato for the British socialists. The government of Argentine colonels has been Fascist in action and sympathies. But Argentina is an area of some of the largest and most important Ttritish investments. The status of India and the British colonies lost to Japan in the Orient, now being won back indirectly oy force of American arms, also will press for attention of the new government. — o Bamboo grows 16 inches a day.

SENSATIONAL (Continued From Page One) “We saw one half of one ship explode and then another caught fire,” Beal said. “They tried to turn and run but we reversed course and blazed away. They tried to fire back but apparently the enemy was shooting anti-air-craft guns. Some of our men think the Japanese believed they were under an air attack —U. S. planes had been overhead as we started the attack.” The one-sided battle lasted less than half an hour. The convoy, which consisted of three merchant ships and one escort, was left sinking. Only the escort ship was known to have escaped. We can officially claim two ships sunk, one possibly sunk, and a damaged escort vessel.

Urges Ceilings Be Put On Armaments Hoosier Novelist Announces Views Kennebunkport, Me., July 27 — (UP) Booth Tarkington, novelist ami playwright, today urged the placing of a ceiling on armaments for all nations. The Hoosier writer, who will observe his 76th birthday at his summer home here Sunday, said in an interview that unless a ceiling is placed on all armaments the vanquished of World War II will become in time more prosperous than the victors. Tarkington said that if the Allies maintain huge armed forces after the war a “large part of their national energy, inventiveness, earnings and production, as well as the fleeting hours of youth, would be devoted to the arts of war.” “Germany and Japan,” he continued, “are to cease forever from the production of all the implements for destruction, and their young men and women are never again to be trained for war. Germany and Japan, therefore, are to live happily engaged in out-pro-ducing us in useful goods, raising standards of living and growing wealthy.” , Tarkington said there is only one solution to the paradox. “A ceiling for all armaments, the same ceiling for all nations. The height of that ceiling,” he said, “for Germany and Japan must continue to be zero; and for all other nations the ceiling should be as low as will keep the policed peace of the world and allow victors as well as vanquished to prosper.”
