The film, titled “How Much Do You Owe?" stars James Stewart. famous motion picture actor, and General Jonathan M. Wainright, hero of Bataan and Corregidor. With Jimmy Stewart contributing his services and the entire motion picture industry cooperating to make the film and its distribution possible, movie goers will see a dramatic, alive and realistic presentation of the rehabilitation of the disabled veteran. The recent 28th national convention of the Disabled American Veterans in Cleveland unani-

mously adopted a resolution commending the motion picture industry* for its contribution and a special citation was awarded Stewart. The story was written by Col. Owen Crump, well known Hollywood writer and producer and as directed by Ralph Staub, able Columbia Pictures director. Step by step, through the thread of the plot of the short, is the courageous story of the problem facing the disabled veteran. A realistic presentation is made of the problems that every community faces and the manner in which the DAV serves. Does your child hate you?

Dr. Foreman

it has been said, is the "man who discovered the individual" But 2700 years after his time, the individual needs rediscovering. Even in the church, some people live and act as. if Jeremiah’s discovery had never been made • • • A Man Stands Alone Although jeremiah was a priest and aristocrat by birth, his own class disowned him. The story in Jeremiah 26 shows dramatically why this was. He predicted doom tor his nation, and since his own “upper-bracket" people were the nation’s leaders, they considered Jeremiah’s attitude not only unpatriotic but a downright personal insult. If ft had been left to the priests and the official prophets, the day of Jeremiah’s sermon at the temple would have been his last. To put it bluntly, the difference between Jeremiah and all the other "prophets" and priests could be put this way: He knew the nation was too rotten to last, but they thought it wm plenty good enough. They probably could have agreed with him that a wicked nation deserves divine punishment; only they could see nothing wrong with Judah. Religion by Proxy? rEY were mistaken many ways. Mistake number one: They thought the Temple, with all that went on in it. was much more important to God than ft really was. The whole business—Temple, whiterobed priests, chanting choirs, the burning of animals, the incense and the mystic lights—it had become in their eyes a sort of immense good-hick charm. They thought: Surely God will not destroy a city that contains this Temple! But Jeremiah saw through that mistake. Institutions, rituals. organizations, ceremonies, sacraments, these are all simply means to an end. they have no value la themselves. Everything we call "public worship” is good only if and so far as ft lifts and cleanses the spirits of the worhipers and brings them nearer God. The most perfect and impressive worship, engaged in by those whose hearts are evil beomes a blasphemy. A fine church is no substitute for fine, people. A beautiful worship program will not conceal from God’s eye unbeautiful souls. Mistake number two: The priests and prophets supposed there was zuch a thing as religion by proxy. They thought the priests by carrying on their duties could take care of the situation. • •- • God writes on the heart ANOTHER MISTAKE made by those poor fools ot false prophets and priests was in supposing they had the Law of God. when all they had was two tables of stone shut up in a box (I Kings 8:9). They were proud of those tables of stone, they were the Commandments of God. and they were guarded most carefully in the Holy of Holies in the Temple Surely. God would not destroy the city that possessed the Sacred Law! But Jeremiah knew better. In the ong run. the only place the Law of God does real good is when it is written on the heart. In Jeremiah’s met fameua prephecy (chap. 21) be leeks forward to the day when God’s handwriting shaft be m* on tablee of stone but ea human hearts. Thai prophecy to being fulfilled day by day as persons tarn their hearts to the Lord and open the book of their three that God may write hhi laws taere. Yet how many people have never learned this truth! Having a great tradition is good* owning and reading the Bible is good; but ft is not the Bible on the shelf that counts, not currying a testament in the pocket, but the Word of God “hid in the heart" of those who know, love and do what God desires. iComrright tar the International council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Proteztant denomtaattom.
