Ptalm IBS _,2 !J L —“''J JJL!!!”?- - Power Unseen Lesson for May M, 19M | WHY does s President of the United States go to church! He may have many good reasons which are not tbe principal one He may do it because it has been a tradition since the time d George Washington. He may go be cause he likes the minister; or be

cause he feels he sh example; or be I cause he knows ; that churches help ! make good citizens and he wants i to encourage churches just as J he encourages schools, boy scout troops and the Red Cross. But a ' much better rea-

son why Presidents and the rest of us go to church or read the Bible or pray, is that wo feel ths need of strength. ._ • • e . -- Foxhole Religion A man who has been more ot less independent all his life, not feeling any special need of God. will wake up to his need of soma thing more than he has. when he finally gets Into some trouble, some situation where be can’t figure out the answers and where he knows he Is not equal to the demands the circumstances make on him. Wo have seen in our time a President who has bard' ly taken office before bo to bap tlzed and joins a Christian church. Is this a sudden conversion? Probably not Brought up tn a devout Christian home, this man has always been aware of religion, ho never denied God. But now, with a burden of responsibility and leadership which ho never had before, he becomes not merely aware but acutely aware that by himself, even with all the human help he can get by himself be is not enough. It has been said that there are no atheists tn foxholes; and fox-holo religion has been low-rated as the religion of the scared-to-death. Nevertheless many a man whose religion began tn a fox-hole did not eiKi mere. • • • a A Dark Doorway to God The Bible stories for this week describe several of the darker doorways to God. This to not quite the right way to put it for God to not like a closed room. Rather, we are in closed rooms of our own. and the doors of our cells open out to the ever-present sunshine of God. Some of the doorways of life are somber enough, yet it to- through some of the most forbidding of these that men and women have come through to a living faith in the true God. For example, the story of the woman of Shunem who had everything she wanted except a child. It was in her longing for a child of her own that her faith came to a burning-point Then when the child was bom and grew into boyhood and lay at the gate of death, again her faith blazed up. She did not usually seek the prophet Elisha except on stated days (she to not alone in this), but this time she went on the day of her distress It was so with die king of Israel His eyes were adjusted to the ordinary lights of this world; but on one memorable occasion God let him see the army of light aurrounding his prophet • • • Resources of the Spirit Why to it that some people can endure what crushes others? To say it is faith that upholds the weak, is only part of the truth The hymn says. “How firm » foundation, ye saints of the Lord. Is laid for your'faith in His excellent Word I’’ The foundation Is not faith: faith rests on the foundation. namely God and his promises. Faith alone to a poor sup port. It is God who to the true up bolder of the weak. How shall the unseeing have their eyes opened? How shall those who never feel the nearness of God come to know him as ever present. our hope and our help? It to today as it was tn the far-off days of Elisha; those yho know God must make him known to other* If it bad not been for Elisha, comfort and faith might never have come to the woman of Shunem. U it bad not been for Elisha’s prayer, tbe eyes of the young frightened king might never have been opened and he would have collapsed tn panic. Faith, if you have It, to not something to be kept to yourself. It to something to Share. Faith, if you do not have it, to something you may be helped to acquire, all the better, if you make friend* with one who baa faith. Peace, heroic and sacrificial, is the new vision which only young men can believe in.—Favre.
