When We Work With God Lesson for January 25, 1948 DR. E. STANLEY JONES was in Atlanta on one of his several visits, and some of us were asking him about his notable and unique

experience as a missionary in the Orient. “If you had it all to go over, Dr. Jones, would you devote your life to the peoples of faraway Asia, or would you choose to live in America with its abundance of good things?” he was asked. Quick as a flash of lightning he replied: “If

Dr. Newton

I had a thousand lives to give, they would all gladly go to the wistful souls of Asia.” Paul would have been enheartened in the day that he wrote II Corinthians 5:20 to 6:10, and Romans 12:9-21, to have heard someone talk as Dr. Jones talked that afternoon, for in our lesson for Sunday, Paul is summoning every Christian to the highest possible commitment to the will of God as we go forth in the task to beseech all men to be reconciled unto God through Jesus Christ, who hath taken upon himself the iniquity of us all, "that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Thus we come to see the significance and the meaning of the memory verse for Sunday’s lesson, "We are fellow workmen for God,” I Corinthians 3:9. PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH GOD O EAD Hebrews’ 11th chapter for a picture of some of the noble souls who really worked with God, by faith, as the writer delights to put it. Abraham, for example, “went out, not knowing whither he went,” but when he came to the end of life’s day, he was accounted the friend of God. Moses, “choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, endured as seeing him who is invisible.” HOW WE WORK WITH GOD T) EAD again that eleventh chapter of Romans to discover how the men and women named there worked with God. Two words will quickly come to light — faith and obedience. They believed God, and they obeyed God. Junior boys and girls will do well to recall some of the heroes of history— men like Washington and Lincoln and Lee—and in every instance you will discover that they, too, believed God and obeyed God. Remember the story of Washington kneeling in prayer in the snow at Valley Forge? We cannot work with God unless and until we believe and obey him. “Can two walk together except they be agreed?” You cannot please your earthly father unless you believe him and obey him.

GOOD WORKMEN ESSENTIAL "VVTe COME now to the deeper * ’ implications of the lesson, revealed in II Corinthians 5:20 to 6:10. “We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain; but in all things approving ourselves in much patience, in afflictions, in distresses, in watchings, by kindness, by love unfeigned, by the power of God. . . .” Here is the acid test of doing the work of an ambassador of Christ — we must first be fully committed to him before we can persuade others to accept him as Saviour and Lord. We shall not have better homes and better churches until we first have better Christians. We shall not have better business until we first have better business men. And the only way by which we become good workmen is through the redeeming, transforming grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. JOT OF WORKING WITH GOD AA7HY did Dr. E. Stanley Jones answer so quickly about giving a thousand lives to the benighted, wistful souls of Asia? Because he had discovered the unspeakable joy of working with God in reconciling men unto him. The largest, surest wages in this world is the experience of working for and with God. '‘What I kept, I lost; what I gave, I have.” Do you believe it? It is difficult to believe until yon try it. Indeed, I would say that it is beyond all imagination to grasp the meaning of working with God. You have to take Christ at exactly what he meant when he said, “Come and see.” "When we walk with the Lord, in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way!” • • • «*»«««»» on t. eh ill of 4T

j Republicans Look To 13 States In 1948 Seek Votes Needed To Defeat Truman t Washington, Jan. 23 —(UP) —i " Regardless of who heads their ticket the Republicans today are looking to 13 big and little states for the additional electoral votes ’ they need to lick President Tru-

man next November. These states are: Connecticut, 1 Idaho. Illinois. Maryland. Massa--1 chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The GOP doesn't need all of them to win if it can also hold all the 12 states carried four years by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York. Maybe the Republicans won't win any of the additional 13. but that some of them will go Republican this year seems, at least, very likely.

All of these 13 states were carried by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944 and each went ! Democratic by a margin of three ' percent or less of the major party ' vote. Practical politicians play percentages. Where your opponent 1 showed a narrow margin of victory last time is where you have the better chance to lick him next ‘ time if things go well. That is why those 13 states are especially important. Republicans look hungrily at other states, too. notably j California. ,

Dewey carried the following states in 1944: Wyoming. Colorado, North Dakota. South Dakota. Nebraska. Kansas, lowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Vermont and Maine. They got him 99 electoral votes to 432 for FDR. The 13 states which went Democratic four years ago by three percent or less pack 217 electoral votes which with Dewey’s would add up to 316. A bare majority of the electoral college sufficient for election is 266 electoral votes. Mr. Roosevelt’s first three shots at the White House came out this way: 4-72 electoral votes to 59 for Hoover; 523 to 8 for Landon; 449 to 82 for Willkie. Much more significant were popular vote figures:

1932 Roosevelt 22,800.000; Hoov- ' er 15.700,000. 1936 Roosevelt 27,400,000; Landon 16,600,000. 1940 Roosevelt 27,200,000; Willkie 22,30(7,000. 1944 Roosevelt 25,500,000; Dewey 22,000,000. The electoral vote division does not reflect it but Willkie ran a good race and so did Dewey. Mr. Roosevelt had a plurality of a little better than 3,500,000 of the 47,500,000 votes cast for the two major party candidates in 1944. Now comes Henry A. Wallace with a third party presidential candidacy baited to attract the working man and. especially, the left wingers. Surveys suggest Wallace may poll five to ten or more percent of the voters in some areas. If Wallace votes come substantially from persons who previously voted for Mr. Roosevelt, the third party could be fatal to President Truman's chances next November. Mr. Roosevelt was the flashiest campaigner this country ever saw. But a five percent defection in his 1944 contest with Dewey would have sunk him in the 13 states listed. Mr. Truman cannot afford to be giving any votes away, either. When Republicans think of Wallace they laugh all over. Democrats concealed their fear of him for a bit but they are prettyfrank about it now. Wallace would not mourn Mr. Truman’s defeat. After all, Mr. Truman beat him for vice president four years ago and kicked him out of the cabinet in 1946. 0 ‘ Second District To Support Creighton 1 Monticello, Ind.. Jan. 23 —(UP)— Another district Republican organization was on record today as favoring a particular candidate in L what promised to be the most wide 5 open race in years for the G-O-P gubernatorial nomination.

The second district, comprised of 12 northwestern counties, in a party conclave of the 12 county chairmen last night was unanimous in support of Hobart Creighton of Warsaw. o The church is intended to be not a battleground, but a house Lt peace. j) No Finer Tribute | To Loved ones • It is a source of lasting comfort h ' to know that those . dear to you hove been given n / the last full measure ’ of devotion, ‘or Weferprcoflrg Coecrete for Strong**!

the denial of the deadline extension.

Administration leaders have pointed out the priority of other public projects, chiefly the construction of a new municipal plant, which would be of far greater benefit to the city. “The erection or a sewage disposal plant would be of main benefit to Fort Wayne—the new light and power plant is needed by Decatur.” one declared. Just what action ccu’d be taken by the state in event “the city's progress toward compliance did not satisfy the stream pollution board, seemed a bit confusing.

Legal minds expressed the belief that the state could do little more than start court action to mandate the city to erect the disposal plant and that litigation in such an action would probably require a year or more, anyway, so
