To \ this demand, Acheson declares the “price cannot be paid.” Mr. Acheson is right in taking this stand, for if tfee Western Powers laid J aside the Atlantic Defense Pict, the Reds would - run wild over Europe. Russia’s hold oh Germany and Its satellites dates back to the immediate post-war days when our troops were immediately withdrawn from Europe.

SCRIPTURE: 1 Klngi U:ie-3S; 16:31W;M; II Klass 17:1-1* An>o» 8:1-7. DEVOTIONAL READING: Faglm 11. P__ , l J < » A' .U 1 How Nations Decay Lesson for May IS, Hsl ***pHE mortality rate of nations is * 100%.” So Dr. T. W. Lingle used to put the fact that no nation yet has lived forever. They all die sooner or later. What kills them? The student of history may delve in- < to such books as K Gibbon’s “Decline Hi ’I o and Fall of the Roman Empire” or » Spengler’s pessi- B I mistic “Decline of '.l\ J the West”, or Toyn- ■ bee's more op’Smis- B tic six-v o 1 u m e “Study of History.” Dr. Foreman But when the juice has been squeezed out of these legmed and interesting volumes, the Truth’s essence turns out to be much the same as what we can find by reading the Old Testament. True, the nations under the Old Testament lens are not big empires like Rome, still less like the British Empire; the kingdom of Israel was only about 100 miles long and 60 miles wide, while toe kingdom of Judah Was smaller than many an American county. ’ I: Promise WHEN Solomon died, the kingdom he had\ inherited from David had already shrunk. After bis death, what was left immediately split into two kingdoms, the one on the south called Judah and the one in toe north called Israel. The nation of Israel, which lasted more than 204 years, began with great promise. Indeed, one of GodWfr prophets (I Kings II) had given to Jeroboam, the first king, the same promise which had been given David, of an enduring kingdom on condition of obedience to God. Everything seemed to be favorable. Israel had more territory than most of her neighbors had, a far more productive soil, and easy access to transportation. ■ . ... Crash v rSRAEL should have succeeded; * hut it failed. Only a little more than 200 years afterwards, no very great age as nations go, it crashed completely, never to rise again. When the walls of its “impregnable” capital city of Samaria, after a two-year siege, fell to the batter-ing-rams of the Assyrian army, and over Tl, ooo leading citizens were deported, that was the end of Israel for good and all. How did this happen? \ The Hebrew historian ties everything into a few words ~ when he says that they wrought wicked things ... they rejected God’s statutes . .. they served idols. But what were the details? What, in particular, did the nation of Israel do that was wicked? Reading the prophet Amos will give many of the answers. At the time he preached, by all chamber-of-commerce standards Israel was at the peak of production and prosperity. But he foresaw doom around the corner, and he gave reasons. He* Called a spade a spade. Reading him, or even reading the baldef accounts in Kings, we can see the collapse y/as no mystery. Other Gods ONE thing fundamentally wrong with Israel was idolatry. This was riot the simple matter of making carved images; it meant taking some other “grid" to be the true God. ♦ 1 We know what the religions ot Chemish and Moletjh and Baal were like; they weft thoroughly bad. In the law of the Wue God, life and purity were regarded as sacred; life and purity under these other gods were held cheap. But one can see from reading Amos that what the people of Israel really worshipped was still another idol to whom no statue was erected: their own pleasures. Too many citizens didn’t care what happened to the country, so long as they could get their liquor. Well, let us not read the Old Testament from mere curiosity. What about our own our own people and times? The United Stewardship Council (now the Joint De-" \partment of Stewardship of the Na-' tional Couifcil of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A.) reports that every yea? since 1934, excepting 1936, has shown an increase in giving through the churches. > But—the percent of this increase is hot so large as the increase of annual \ income. The increase tor contributions through the church of God is less, far less, than the increase in spending tor alcoholic liquors, soft drinks, candy, football games, jewelry, and a multitude of other things. We, like Israel, are putting God last! (Cepyrish* 1951 by the Division of Christian Education, National Connell of the Churches ol Christ in the Unite* States of Aaaerida.
