New Multi-Colored Phones For State INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — About 1.000 of the new multi-colored telephones, at a cost of $5 each, will be installed in the 30 million dollar state office building now under construction. The State Office Building Commission met here Tuesday and tentatively accepted a program outi lined by Indiana Bell Telephone Co., a program which included installation of a single massive switchboard to replace the 22 now in operation. About 850 standard black telephones also will be installed, as no cost other than installation charges. The monthly telephone bill for the state now runs about $23,000. Bell officials said the cost could be cut by $2,000 per month after the new system is installed. Main savings would come in reduction of the number of switchboard operators from 27 to 6. Switchboard operators would use the new "key-punch” system instead of the conventional dial system. In addition, out-of-town calls could be made by direct distance dialing. Charges Filed On Death Car Driver LAPORTE. Ind. (UPD—Harry Hutton. 72. Valparaiso, was killed Thursday when his car collided head-on with another car. Buell Miller, 25, Walkerton, driver of the other car. was arrested on a reckless driving charge. Police said he whs driving in the wrong lane. Typhoon Is Reported Moving Toward Japan —TOKYO <UPD —High winds and heavy waves battered Japan’s Pacific coast today as a typhoon with 108 m.p.h. winds reported at its center moved slowly toward the nation. An alert was ordered on Japan's southernmost island of Kyushu, already saturated by last month’s floods. Authorities feared that additional rain might cause “vast damage.”

Lesson tor August 9, 1959 THE COMMITTEE that chooses the “Uniform Lessons” represents more than 34 denominations. This quarter, as readers may have noticed, whole books of the Bible have been chosen. Unusual, indeed unique among these is the book called Ecclesiastes. It is not quoted by any New Testament writer. In

fact, at the time i of Christ debate i was still going ' on among Jewish i teachers as to , whether to keep or discard this book from the sacred collection, i It is a long way removed from the religion of

the prophets, the apostles and of Jesus. For instance, it not only doubts Immortality, it positively denies it. Whatever religion it presents is all of this world. The Religios sf a Gysis It was evidently written by a cynic, or a man whose cynical moments shadowed his writings. A cynic is not necessarily a sinner, except so far as lack of faith is sin. The cynic is a man who has tasted the cup of life and found it—not so much bitter, as empty. Like a mournful refrain the words run through the book, “All is vanity and a striving after wind.” “Vanity” here represents a Hebrew word which does not mean pride, but emptiness. The modern expression would be, “Nothing to it.” Life (to the author of this book) is like one of the boxes you may buy in a toy store —on opening it you find another box, and when that is opened, there is another ... and so on and on. But what is in the last box? Nothing at all. So life has gay wrappings, it promises a great deal, but at the heart of it—nothing but emptiness and a striving after wind. It is discouraging fe see all the things the cynical author had found without value: work, wealth, fame, pleasure, novelty ... Os love he only mentions it to say that there are times when hate is more appropriate. Os the life beyond he can only say “the dead know not anything.” ... Tie RiMle es EsdMiastM ** Now a curious thing about this book is that here and there in it are flashes of something like religion. It is religion, but (as we said) not much like what Paul and John knew. Along with all the expressions of unfaith, of cynicism, there are some expressions of faith —a chilly kind of faith to be sure, but still faith; a crocus in the snow is not a summer garden, but still it’s a flower. How account for the little crocus of the author’s faith in the snowy waste of his cynicism ? Various answers have been given. One is that this book is a sample of what little faith man can have without revelation; another is that one man couldn’t have written the whole book, but that some pious editors added religious footnotes contradicting the irreligious pages. Another explanation is that this book was written all by one man, who had various moods. In his dark moods he lost faith in nearly everything, but in his better moods he could say, “Well, in spite of all that, nevertheless .. .f* nevertheless . . . ! For there were some things in which this poor rich man could believe. It may be true, he says, that man toils for the wind, that he seldom is rewarded in proportion to his toil; nevertheless a man may find enjoyment in the toil itself. The days of life may be few, nevertheless they can be used as wen as possible while they last. God may be far away; but nevertheless there is a God, and it is stupid to act as if there were none. Os God’s love, this ancient writer has no conception; of his forgiveness he feels no need. He had never been through the furnace of suffering as Job had; he suffered from having too much, not from having too little. He had never found any one to love, or to love him, we may judge. In short, this man had lived on the glittering surface of life. Nevertheless, though the deeper experiences were denied him, though he did not know God at elose range, though he knew no way to love God, nevertheless he eeuld obey him, he could pay his vows oven te the distant God. If this faith of the cynic is not saving Stith, it Mil is on the way.

AMERICA FOR CHRIST Rev. James R. Meadows The world is full of treasures, and some we hold in our hearts as of great worth, but too often man’s treasure is glittering gold which he accumulates and hoards until he becomes as cold and hard as the gold itself. He has no time to think of those things which are eternal and Godgiven, for his heart is filled with the though of his earthy possessions. How tragic is the life built on those things which lead to destruction, for man reaps in eternity what he has sown here! How different is the Spirit-filled life that is laying up treasures in Heaven! Deeds of kindness, acts of mercy, letting one’s life shine for Christ—all this is a part of the Master’s work, and what joy it brings! . 4
