It assures that if you should die unexpectedly, your family will have cash to help pay off the mortgage. Cost is small. If you’re age 30, for example, little more than $5 a month in life insurance premiums can provide enough cash to help pay off a 20-year mortgage for |IO,OOO.

Over Half-Million Buried Under Mill TROY, Ohio (UPD—The county sheriff’s office kept a guard posted all night at the Altman Feed Mill near here while Altman family members pondered whether to continue searching the building after the discovery of more than a half-million dollars hidden by the late mill owner. About $500,000 in three cans was dug up in searches Tuesday and Thursday at the mill. Relatives of the late R.S. Altman, the mill owner, started the money search after finding an undisclosed amount of ■'money in lock boxes. Altman died at the age of 76 at the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., July 28. Hours before his death he told his son, George I. Altman of Irwin, Pa., and his daughter, Mrs. Mary Jane Ward of Troy, that he had buried his money under the mill. Attorney William Sutton of Irwin said the family realized the old man may have been delirious and had no expectation of finding the money. But when the lock boxes were found, they decided to dig. About a dozen employes of the mill were doing the excavating under the watchful eyes of deputy sheriffs. On Tuesday, two 10-gal-lon milk cans containing about $350,000 were dug up, and a third can was found Thursday. Why Altman buried the money was not certain, although he was quoted by area residents as having often expressed a distrust of banks.

SJF ' 1 jtaOJLM Ilk SP£4W ■IT inwnullond UnMarm Sunday School Leesons Conversion Lesson for August 25, 1963 Bible Material: Genesis 26 through 28. Devotional Resting: Psalm 121. IF GOD does not speak to people 1 in dreams today, one reason may be that few people in our time would accept a dream as a message from God. But there was a time when not every dream but special dreams were taken to he revelations ’from God. Certhe ieast we can say about suc * l a story as this one about Jaf cob at Bethel is that this man be- '■ lieved that God HP IS had actually spoken to him and Dr. Foreman ma de him a magnificent promise; and he names the place “Beth (house) El (of God)” the place, or a place, where God lived. We can learn something about religion from the way Jacob reacted to what he understood to be a vision of God. One question will bring this story right down to ourselves: Was Jacob converted by this experience, or not? £ Jacob nsedod oonvarsion * Conversion is an important word. It means a turning around, a 180-degree turn; it means turning from evil to good, from disobeying God to obeying God, from hating or denying God to loving Him with all the heart. Now if you had asked any of Jacob’s neighbors at that time, before he started his journey back east to see his relatives in the Euphrates Valley,—if you had asked them what they thought of Jacob, they could have said little good of him. Indeed, his own family were against him. He had tricked his brother ipto giving him his birthright, and then he had stolen the i blessing their father intended for Esau. In revenge, Esau had sworn to kill his younger twin Jacob; and Jacob had had to leave home to seek safety far away. We know his father had plenty of animals he could have offered Jacob to ride; but he didn’t offer one. Jacob had to walk, and we may guess he made a hiking record. The point is, in Billy Sunday's famous words, Jacob at this time was so low down he had to reach up to touch bottom, and so crooked he could hide behind a corkscrew. “The World’s my orange and I intend to squeeze it” might have been his motto; for he had never been known to do an nnselfish thing in all his life. If ever a man need to be converted, it was Jacob. ♦ Discovery of Qod * Conversion always begins with a meeting between God and a man. The meeting may take place in many ways; but none stranger than this dream at Bethel. One thing Jacob learned that night which he had not realized before. It was a lesson even Abraham had a hard time learning: God is everywhere. Jacob thought he had turned his back on God. He believed in Him of course; he never had been an atheist. But somehow he thought God must be Confined to one district, as human beings are. If you run far enough and fast enough, you can escape from most people. If you shut the door and draw the bolts, you can keep many people out. But there is no door yet made which can keep God out. He is on both sides of all doors, He is everywhere. He is the God of the traveler and of those who stay at home. This is a great discovery, and Jacob was awed by it. Promise with an If * Jacob sounds pious enough. He promises to pay tithes, and that was good. So it is sometimes said that this experience at Bethel was Jacob’s great turning point, his conversion. On the other hand, there is some reason to doubt that anything radical happened to him. True, he discovered something very important about God; but knowing about God is not yet conversion. ("The devils believe, and tremble.”) When you look at it closely, you find that this vow of Jacob’s to give God a tenth was a promise with an If. IF God will arrange everything right for me, and IF He will do for me what I want done (he says in effect), THEN He will be my God and I will give Him ten per cent of all profits. Furthermore, Jacob Is so far from offering himself to God that in the years just ahead he is going to cheat his own flesh and blood relatives, just as he did before. He Is going to be out for Jacob first. He is changed very little by this dream, and till he is ehanged we can hardly call it conversion. L ~ •

He was rather gentle to the purely disreputable sins. - Even the woman taken in adultery He said, “Neither do I condemn i thee”; though He added, “Go, sin i no more.” The faults which most ; moved Him to indignation were - hypocrisy, which means acting a > part, pretending to be what one i is not; cold-hearted want of sym- > pathy for others, and calculating t worldiness. These are the things ■ that a Christian ought to be most : i afraid of. j ( When our Lord spoke of the sing- ' le eye, and of purity of heart, He , meant that we must have one doi minant purpose in life, and must live openly before the world as - professing that purpose and acting I accordingly. Otherwise we shall get - everything out of focus. We shall . begin by trying to deceive others, ■ and we shall end by deceiving ■ ourselves. The double heart makes ■ the double head. As an unhappy • man, who had been ruined by com- > mitting offenses which had to be I concealed, confessed, "He who lives - more lives than one, more deaths . than one, must die.” Hard-heart- , edness is the sin against the law of ■ love, in which all other command- • ments are briefly comprehended. This was something new in ethics. The Greeks made justice the fundamental virtue; Christ put love in
