O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Hope for Future Seen in Fact That
Faith Prevailed During a Dark Era
By WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D.
There are portions of Scripture
that seem to have little relation to
our- life today. They are of in
terest for the light that they
throw , on the past, and for the
help that they give in the study
and interpretation of the Scrip
tures, but they stand chiefly as
ancient records.
But oth?r portions, and this is
true- of the greater part of the
Scriptures, are as vital and ap
plicable for the life of today as if
they had been written yesterday,
or were coming as fresh from the
press as our morning paper. And
this is' particularly true of the
stories of tho return of the He
brew exiles from Babylon, and
of their rebuilding of Jerusalem,
and reestablishing themselves ;n
their homeland, under their great
leaders, Ezra and Nehmiah.
Thousands, if not millions, to
day are in the situation of thes-;
ancient Baoylonian exiles. They,
or their .mccessors, have been
killed, and other thousands have
succumbed to their sufferings
and burdens. But others, and
children of those who have per
ished, survive and tho day of de
liverance nas come.
They will have new perils, and

new enemies, as they take up the
task of returning and rebuilding,
just as the Jewish exiles who re
turned from Babylon had to meet
strong opposition from enemios
in Babylon, and from those of
their own people who had escap
ed from exile. Selfish interests
will seek to prevail over interests
of justice and humanity. The
situation will call for all help
and inspiration available.
And there will be no source of
help and inspiration more avail
able, or more effective, than is to
be found in these books of Ezra
and Nehemiah. They ought to
be read in their entirety, read
and re-read. The reader will find
himself baffled a little by the
chronological order of events. He
may not always be clear just as
to where the work of each of
these great leaders, Ezra and Ne
hemiah, begins and ends, or just
how much their tasks of leader
ship were related, or overlapped;
but he will get a clear picture of
their problems and difficulties,
and a strong grasp of the faiin
that inspired them, and of the in
domitable courage with which
they built and fought and a'jo
of the resourcefulness and per
sonal initiative and daring with
which they achieved their ends.
Along with these books of Ezra
and Nehemiah, which give the
historical record, must be put the
great prophecies of the exile
the record of the words of life
and hope that kept alive faith;
and inspired men to great tasks.
The nature of these prophecies
may be seen in the work nf the
so-called 'second Isaiah," the
chapters of that hook from the
fortieth to the end.
Here are the words of truth
that with banner-like precision
set forth the high ideals of those
who saw in God's call to Israel,
and in God's dealings with Israel,
not some preference and privi
lege of a master race, chosen 'f
God with arbitrary disregard uf
the rest of the world, but a peo
ple chosen of God to make known
liis grace and goodness, and to
bring blessing to all mankind.

Put Personality
Into Your Voice
ANNE STERRIT: Irfaresting.
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
Practicing your "company
voice" that ingratiating and
usually friendlier tone reserved
for guests and strangers on
everybody who listens to yom
will soon set you apart as a girl
with personality.
From radio's soft-spoken Anne
("Our Gal Sunday") Sterrit
comes this and other helpful
hints on how to put your speech
across.
Before u'tering a sound, group
words into phrases, making each
phrase express a complete and
forceful idea. This method of
planning before you plunge, is a
trick which enforces interest in
what you have to say.
A simple lowering of the voice
and a calculated slowing up of
speech is another means of cre
ating interest and registering
sincerity, says the actress. And
for making yourself heard and
listened to more attentively, your
best tone is neither high nor low,
but hits a good middle-of-the-road
pitch.

Switch in Dual
Property Status
Is Due June 16
By ERIC W. ALLEN, Jr.
SALEM, Ore., May 26 (UP)
On June 16 a total of 1,251 mar
lied couples in Oregon will be
free to change the decision they
made to become subject, to Ore
gon's now - voided community
property law.
The Oregon law, passed in 1943,
was one of two. in the United
States. Last year the Oklahoma
law, from which Oregon's was
drawn, was nullified ,by a decir
sion of. the U. S. supremo court.
Under the Oregon, statute, hus
band and wife could, if they wish
ed, declare that their, property
was owned in. oommoni This
placed them in a preferred' posi
tion in paying federal income
taxes.
The 1945 legislature replead
that law after the court's deci
sion. It also passed a bill permit
ting husband and wife to change
their choice, and another which
will save them from certain pen
alties under the gift tax law.
The legislature also sent re
quests to all "common law"
states, and to Oregon's represen
tatives in congress for the enact
ment of legislation which would
remove tho inequalities in. the
present federal income tax, us a
result of the difference.
The difference between "com
munity proprty" states and "com
mon law" states goes buck a long
way. The community property
states, in which the principle that
property is owned jointly is man
datory, draw that principle from
tradition and custom. In some
southern states such as Texas and
Louisiana, the idea comes from
French or Spanish law. There
are seven such states, including
both Washington and California.
But in the states where laws
came chiefly from English com
mon law, there is no such histor
ical principle. In Oregun and
Oklahoma, the state legislatures
attempted to change that- by sta
tute. But the supreme cuurt held
that the laws were not valid be
cause they made a community
property status optional, rather
than mandatory.
Sharp Reduction
In Strength Of
U.S. Army Looms
WASHINGTON, May 26 (UP)
Members of congress told the
United Press today there was a
possibility of another sharp re
duction in the size of the army
reasonably soon.
The revelation ..was . male, fol-'
lowing an all-day secret meeting
of the .house subcommittee on
war department appropriations
with chief of staff Gen. George
C. Marshall.
Committee members said the
possibility of a reduction in the
size of the army was based on
the chance that Russia would en
ter the war against Japan. In
that event, they said, tho United
States would need less men in
the Pacific. '
All insisted, however, that
Marshall did not discuss with the
Marshall did not discuss with the
committee the possibility of Rus
sia's entry into the war against
the Japani'so. Russia is now mili
tary at peace with all nations.
Comtnittoe-- members also indi
catcd that tho remainder of the
Pacific war will be a longer, more
gruelling struggle than many ex
pect and that army costs will not
be reduced greatly next year.
