Truth Set to Music Lesson for November 21,1948 • •'T'HE opposite of poetry is not * prose; it is science.” There were poets in the world long before there wero scientists, but that does not prove that poets are out of date. Many people in our ■’’"w modern world think ■ we could not get along without sci- ■’* B >: ' W cnce but could well B mSOK burn all the books HR of poetry. If we W®. did, it would be a dreadful mistake. Poet and scientist pj._ Foreman each has his truth to see and to speak. We need them both. Certainly if we tried to burn all the poems we should have to destroy some of the best-loved parts of the Bible. • • » Not All Poets Have Long Hair SOME “practical” people sniff at , poets for being peculiar. “Longhairs” is a slang name for them as for other people who know something besides arithmetic. As a matter of fact, many poets are very practical people themselves: engineers, farmers and soldiers all have written poetry. The poets of the Bible are of many sorts. If you will look into an edition of the Bible in which the poetic sections are printed as poetry is printed in other books, you will be impressed by the very large proportion of poetry, especially in the Old Testament. The new Study Bible or the American Revised Version or Moffatt's translation will show this at a glance.

These Bible poems are of various kinds. Some are wargongs (Judges s),some are proverbs (the book of Proverbs), drama (Job), love-songs (the Song of Songs), odes (Isaiah 40), prayers (Psalm 16), hymns for public worship (the Psalms). The writers were never professional poets, so far as we know. Os the poems which are this week’s lesson Scripture, two were written by housewives, one by a sheep-herd-er. one or more by a soidier-king, one by a preacher (Habakkuk). and only one (Lamentations) possibly by a professional poet. The original Hebrew book of Lamentations does not claim Jeremiah for its author; but if he was the writer, then it was written by the most practical man of,his time. • • • World's Greatest Hymn Book •* I ET me write a nation’s songs. *• y and I care not who writes their laws,” said a famous man. The ■ same thing can be said about re- j ligion. "Let me write a church’s hymnbook, and I cpre not who writes their theologies.” The hymns our mothers loved, the hymns we heard before we heard any other kind of poetry, the hymns that we have learned by heart and J that become a part of our minds—these mean far more to most people than all the printed creeds. New the Christian religion is a singing religion. Our very first hymnhook was the Book of Psalms, and all the hymnals since, down to the present day, grew out of this one book in the Bible. It is the greatest hymnbook in the world; not the longest nor the oldest, but the greatest in its influence for good upon mankind. • • • Poetry Was in Jesus Blood /"AF OUR Lord Jesus himself, it '-'truly can be said, poetry was in his veins. He came of a poetic family. His most famous ancestor. David, was a poet; another royal ancestor. Hezekiah, wrote poetry. The book he knew best, the Old Testament was full of poetry. His own mother Mary, before he was ' born, sang a song of her own mak- - ing. so beautiful that it is still rung in Christian churches and loved the world around. When Jesus died on the cross, two ul the lasi seven sentences that came from his lips were quotations from the Psalms. The poetry of his people was in his bio >d. for in his last agony the words that came from his breaking heart were words first spoken by the poets of the Bible long ago So it is always. "Truth in song will tarry long.” Tud.iy and always. the parts of the Bib'e which are f.iost cherished, the parts most often lean ed by heart, the parts ' which we carry with us to the valley of the shadow of death. »a re the truths set to music, long centuries ago. by inspired men who knew how to clothe truth with garments of sf ming and immortal loveliness rCs-ror** »y C—nrii «« a h(MOS EaocM'M «• brli't 40 Prvw nu trifiui *y

The Arab states had not replied to the armistice order. But their • spokesmen in the UN had vowed repeatedly that they never would negotiate with a Jewish state. j The Israeli reply was signed by Walter Eytan, director general of the Tel Aviv foreign office. It said ' ■ the Jews were most anxious for a ; speedy and successful conclusion of armistice talks. ' The UN cancelled a morning meeting of the political committee at which the United States was scheduled to make a preliminary statement on its Palestine policy. The session was pul off because it conflicted with a plenary session of the general assembly, which called an all-day meeting to de-! bate disarmament and other subjects. The postponement put off untili Monday the slow-moving Palestine debate. The U. S. was expected to be ready then or soon thereafter I for a full statement on Palestine. 1 UN'S GENERAL (Cont. From Page One) | privately that the U. S. and Britain feared “peace might suddenly break out.” "Warmongers are afraid of coming to any agreement with Russia because a policy of agreement with

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Russia would undermine the position of the warmongers and would lead to the organization of peace,” the Russian delegate said. “This is not an accident. It is all inspired by certain circles who are opposed to the prohibition of atomic bombs and the reduction by one-third of armaments." The mild resolution adopted, which all observers agreed meant only that nothing at all has been accomplished in the direction of actual disarmament, recommends that | the UN security council "pusue the i study of regulation ahd reduction of I conventional armaments and armed forces.” It does not mention the atomic bomb or atomic energy. In the final debate before the voting, Vishinsky again defied western demands that Russia disclose the size of Red armed forces “I won’t answer, I won’t answer.' he shouted to the assembly.

I battles reported that its sale vol- ; time for the year to date totals {226,962,429, compared with $177,- ; 267.919 for the same period last ; year. For the four weeks ending Nov. 6 the chain’s sales voluble was $21,866,866. compared with $18,974,143 for the same four weeks of 1947. “You can say that business is good as far as we're concerned." a spokesman for the chain said. Miss Rose M Kiefer, secretary of the National Association of Retail Grocers, said coupon programs were "unnecessary from an economic point of view.” and that most independents don’t like them. She quoted U. S. commerce department figures showing that as of Sept. 6. both dollar volume and unit sales were up for the grocery business as a whole. Miss Kiefer said the prospects for the coming holiday trade were better than last year. USED CAR (Cont. From Pajo One) biggest mysteries.
