BSjffil fatsmticns) Under* Sunday School Lroom mllffV/mA Blbl« Material: Numbers tlllMll Deuteronomy 3*:S-1S; Joshua 1. Devotional Beading: Psalm L New Leader Lesson for June 1, 1951 AS LONG ■■ human beings exist **in groups, even If the race is nearly wiped out by war or other catastrophe, there will be need of leaders. People will get together. For good and for ill men operate in groups. These may be immense and elaborate groups like the mod-

NW-

arn nation; they may ba tiny groups like a bird • w a t c tier s’ club in a small school They maybe highly organized, with enormous buildings de-' voted to the secretariat alone

(such as the United Nations), or they may be informal, like a few boys going out hunting. Whatever the group, it will have, and it will need, leaders. The ancient Hebrews as they entered Canaan were no exception to the rule. God has been leading them, but through a very brilliant and brave man. Now this man is at the point of death. He knows that unless a new leader takes over, all the work he has done will come to nothing. We Need to Go On The story of Moses and Joshua, only a small part of which emerges in the Scripture material this week, illustrates many points about a change-over in leadership. It was a crucial, a doubtful time. Canaan had been reached, not entered, still less won. A slip-up in the new arrangements might be fatal. But the change was made, and it turned out enormously successful From many thoughts which it suggests We may select three. First, if the old leader has been really good, then he has achieved much that we do not want to let go. If he was good, we don’t want to start off in the Opposite direction from • where he was taking us. However new and different the new leader may be. we whom he is going to lead want him to pick up the old leader's work and carry it on, not smash it all to pieces or let it slowly decay. The problem for every fresh leader is: How can I carry on my predecessor’s work and ideals, without being a rubberstamp duplicate of him? New and Old Are Never Alike A college was for some time without a President. The committee appointed to find a new one was working very slowly, too slowly, some thought. But ,the committee knew what they were doing. "Any President we get,” said one of them, “is bound to be different from the last one. It won't hurt the college to do without a President for a while, so that the new man, whoever he is, won’t come as quite such a shock.” This is true of churches, nations, organizations of all kinds. The new preacher isn’t like the old one. the new president isn’t like the old one. No doubt there were people in Israel who. when Moses appointed Joshua, complained about it. The two men were different at almost every point. Readers of the Old Testament may And it an interesting study tn character: In what ways were Moses and Joshua different? God broke the mold when he made Moses, he always breaks the mold when he makes man. There was only one Moses, one Joshua, one David. There was only one George Washington, one Lincoln, one Robert E. Lee. Wanting Leader Number Two to be just like Nunjber One is as useless as wanting one man to live forever. Leadership Calls For Character Nevertheless, there are certain qualities of character which all leaders have. We are thinking of God’s leaders especially, men who (in the church or out of it) are in harmony with God; not those leaders who are anti-social giving all they have not for or to, but against, mankind- Moses and Joshua illustrate three very important characteristics ofall good leaders, and the investigative reader can discover more. One is firmness of purpose. When either Moses'or Joshua set out to do something, he did it, it spite of hail and high water. Having set their course, they kept a firm hand on the wheel. They did not lose sight of the North Star A second quality shown by these leaders was courage. They dared the unknown, the untried. They summoned their followers to tasks which seemed impossible; but their people knew that these leaders would not ask others to do what they would not do themselves They were not afraid of , what threw weaker men into fits of fear. Most important, and most obvious, was their faith. Immortality is a fulness rather than a continuance of life. A self-seeking personality lives on its capital and will gradually improverish itself.

Little Damage When Vehicles Collide A car was struck from the rear by a truck that was unable to stop in time to prevent the accident that occurred on U.S. 224 in front of the Bellmont Park. Wednesday afternoon. The car cP i ven by Theodore Lepper. Monroeville, had stopped to make a left turn onto the Saddle Lake read, when the truck driven by Urban Schnipke was unable to stop in time, and struck the Lepper vehicle from the rear. Damage to the auto was estimated at S2OO. The truck was not damaged. Whipped Cream Add a teaspoon of strained honey to whipped cream. It sweetens it and gives it a delicious flavor. The cream will stay firm longer.

Rome Pays Cardinal Slrilch Final Honor Requiem Mass Held In Old Rome Church United Press InternaUttnal ROME (UPD—More than 2,500 Roman Catholic cardinals, Vatican officials, priests and laymen filled St. Ignatius Church in old Rome today for a solemn requiem mass for Samuel Cardinal Stritch. His body is to be flown home to Chicago Friday for burial. Bishop Martin O’Coqnor, rector of North American College, celebrated the mass assisted by four Chicago archdiocese seminarians, James Flavin, John Keating, John Hotchin and James Roach. Cardinal Stritch, archbishop of Chicago, died here early Tuesday of heart damage caused by a circulatory ailment. When the funeral bell tolled during the ceremony, Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, dean- of the Sacred College of Cardinals, left his place among 14 other priests of the church to sit directly before the bier. Assisting him were Father Edward Egan of Oak Park, 111, and seminarian Peter Zavadowsky of Cicero, 111. Sistine Chapel Choir Sings The ambassadors to the Holy See, their silk top hats held in their laps, sat on one side of the church with Stritch’s two nephews, Father Howard Stritch and Robert E. Stritch of Chicago. The voices of the famed Sistine Chapel Choir. Pope Pius, Xll’s own choir, filled the high domes of the baroque, 17th Century church. A cloud of incense rose from the altar against the large golden cross backed by towering black mourning drapes. The princes of the church, in red hats and red cloaks sat before the altar on simply-embroid-ered beige benches. They included 12 of the Roman Curia and four visiting cardinals. The attending archbishops and bishops, monsignors and Vatican lay officials sat on black benches around the bier in the nave of the church. Among them at the left foot of the bier were Msgr. James Hardinman, Stritch’s secretary, and other American churchmen. American Priests Pay Homage Hundreds of young American priests and seminarians studying in Rome stood on either side of the church, prayer books in hand. An Italian guard of honor was

assigned to conduct the body to Ciampino Airport, 10 milps south of Rome, where it will be placed aboard a Pan American plane for the flight back to the United States. Y . Under the 1929 Lateran Pact between the Vatican and Italy, Cardinals in Italy are entitled to the same honors as princes of the blood. The body of the 70-year -old cardinal was taken to St. ;Ignatius' Wednesday and placed on a bier in the nave of the church. There was an hour-long funeral procession from the North American College to the church by 500 young priests and seminarians, many of them Americans. The casket was covered with a black and gold tapestry and surrounded by 104 tall candles.
