‘FAMILY CIRCLE WEEK' WILL BE OBSERVED HERE Protestant Churches to Follow Ideas of Committee. The fall program of the Church Federation of Indianapolis Includes a special week to be designated “Family Circle Week" from Sunday. Dec. 4 to 11. A committee of the federation has been given the resopnsibility of outlining the program for that week. The following outline represents the ideas of the committee: “We recommend that this special week be designated ‘Family Circle Week,’ and that it be the week of Dec. 4 to 11. “That the ministers of the city be requested to preach on the subject of the family at one of the services Sunday, Dec. 4. “That Tuesday evening of this week shall be designated ‘Stay at Home’ night when full opportunity can be given for the fellowship of home life. It is the feeling of the committee that if this be observed by large numbers of families it will contribute to the best interests of home life. “That the cooperation of the Par-ent-Teacher Associations, Women’s Federated Clubs, and the luncheon clubs of our city be secured for this special program and speakers appear before these groups with a message bearing on the program. “That for the mid-week service, or family night, that week in each of our churches, there be a general exchange of ministers, each minister speaking on the importance of the family in its relationship to the church and society,” the committee states.

The Protestant churches of the city have decided to cooperate with the suggestions of the committee. n tt tt YOUNG PEOPLE TO HAVE RALLY Roy A.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson -

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 4. The Elements of Right living. Isa. 5:1-12. BY m E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist A PROPHECY that began so splendidly as Isaiah’s in its introduction, and in its supreme emphasis upon religious reality as against mere form and profession, is bound to yield well in the constructive principles of right living. It is these things that we find emphasized in the lesson for today; and it should be noted that the portion of scripture specifically printed and under review is taken as a part of a larger lesson which includes the third, fourth and fifth chapters of Isaiah’s prophecy.

Isaiah turns here in his teaching to the form of poetry or parable. He sings the song of his well-beloved and of his vineyard in a very fruitful hill, a vineyard well planted and cared for, from which the stones have been removed, which has been kept well cultivated, and in which a tower and a winepress have been established, and then when the vineyard should have brought forth grapes what was the disappointment of the vineyard keeper to nnd that it brought forth wild grapes! Is not this in deed and in truth a real parable of life? How much of goodness in percept and example

have \)een lavished upon human life and yet it still brings forth so much of wild fruit?

What one of us reveals a proper beauty and fruitfulness of living at all in proportion to the opportunities that he has had, and to all the loving and care that in home and school have been lavished upon him?

Isaiah makes his own application: “The vineyard &f Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah hi§ pleasant plant; and he looked for Justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.” We, however, must make the application for our own time. The people of America are the vineyard of the Lord. Are we making that vineyard more productive in good works, in simple justice, in truth, in love, and kindness? “Woe unto them,” said Isaiah, “that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room!” Does not that sound very much like some of our modem encroachments upon life? Individuals and corporations grasping and getting more and more under their control, until the very life and happiness of the people is at their mercy! Other wrongs also that mar the

beauty of our modem day ware apparently present in Israel— " Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late Into the night, till wine inflame them!” The death-dealing power of alcohol has been age-long in its manifestations.

There is, in fact, even a certain amount of justice and application in this present jazzy age for Isaiah’s reference to the harp and the lute, and the tabret and the pipe. No man would want to decry the place of good music and the joy and excitement even of lively music, but can anyone listen-ln to the radio night after night without a feeling that our age is in some respects music mad, or at least that the great part of our music, if it be not on a low plane, seldom touches the higher spheres of life?

It is not the man of religion or the rigid and strict moralist, who -.riticises these things. They are quite as keenly criticised by people, who approach the whole matter simply from the standpoint of art and good feeling. But one is often led to wonder whether these things can ever be artistically great and beautiful in their simplicity and purpose until they are refined and lifted up in a common consecration to the highest aspirations of man—ti e things that relate him to the divine.
