America's Need Discussed
n This Week's Sermon
By REV. A. THEODORE SMITH
I Pastor, First Pribytrln Church
' Text: 2 Chrnnlcli-i 7:14. "If My people, which re called by
My nnine, hall Mumblo themsclve, and pruy, and eek My (nee,
nd turn from tht'lr wicked wnyii; thon will I hear from heavon,
I rut will forgive their tin, and will heal their land."
', The text Ik the utterance of God, who appeared to Solomon,
following the dedication of tho temple. They are worthy of our
4-
unildcrtitlon today, for they refer to God dealing with the
ntton ilf Israel and certainly
1th America.
Tho text reads. "If My people." CJod li (peaking about Hl
people. Ho l deeply concerned, when Hl people forget Him and
turn from Him. So Ho welcomei them when they turn back to
Him,
4 If Israel were to bo paved, If
America la to be saved, God'
people mint become concerned.
: If a spiritual awnkonlng li to
'fume, tho awakening mut' begin
'lit the house of tho Lord. God'
people must get right with God.
Not becaue God'a people have
been o wicked, but because they
"are God peopla and should
know better than to turn against
.thetr God. Hut, If God hides His
i'Jiicc from Ills own, how ubout
those that nro not Ills own? "If
' tho rlghti-mi scarcely be saved,
t where shall tho ungodly and tin
f ners appear?"
i Safety for America Must Be--jfln
with Humility. "If My peo
4W1, which are called by My
& name, shall humble themselves,"
I Is tho way tho text reads. Safety
4 for Israel and for America begins
with humiliation. Jesus sold:
"Whosoever shall exult himself
shall bo humbled; and whosoever
shall humble himself shall be
exulted." That Is the law of serv
ice. It underlie all life. No life
ran be useful and helpful except
as it. I based on the word of
Christ.
..America lias been proud and
sho has many things of which she
may well bo proud, but there are
many things countenanced for
which the should hung her head
In shame. In the first five yeurs
since the repeal of prohibition
America has spent, on a conserv
ative estimate, no less than $30,
000,000,000 for intoxicant. Dur
ing this same period 'J, Edgar
Hoover tells us she has been pass
ing through the greatest crime
wove of her history. Courtney R.
Jumper says: "America Is on the
Amvorst gambling spree in Its his

$0,000,000,000 In winnings and
losings, of which all but about
$1,000,000,000 passe through
the hand of the underworld.
"Wo talk about high toxes, but

htlmbled and should win the
wnr, If America goes on after
wards as she ha been going, sho
will becomo a menace to the
world and not ( blessing, ai God
Intended her to be."
Humility is the law of service
in Christ's world.
A novelist once described the
rallglon of one of his character
In a graphic sentence: "She had
God on her visiting list." Nothing
could better hit off the patron-
'ri'.ihg Bttituda that many people
Wuuiume toward the church and
tho religion of Christ. They will
attend to these mutters when
they have nothing mora import
ant to do. That attitude Is char
acteristic of our ago. God Is not
to be patronized. God's church i
not to be patronized.. It 1 pos
Iblo to be too big for God to
use, but never too small. What
God want 1 men great enough
to be sninll enough to be used.
Safoty for America begin
with humility, but coat It
anchor In prayer. The text says,
"It My people, which are called
by My name, shall humble them
selves, and pray." The second
condition Is prayer. The safoty of
any nation llos in its praying
people. Tha early history of this
country Is great becnuso Amor-
Ica was foundod by praying peo
ple. What mado Israel great? At
the vory foundation of Israel's
Ufa were praying men who knew
God, Abraham, Jacob,- Joseph,
Moses, David.
When Israol had so grievously
I.nned In making the golden calf
ut Sinai, God proposed to Mosc
to destroy Ills pcoplo and make
of him a pcoplo, and it Is said
that Moses "besought God."
Mosqs prayed that wonciorrui
Intercessory proycr recorded in
the thirty-second chnpter of Ex

heights .and depth which few
pobplo over touch, but it olao pro
sonts ona aspect of prayer to
which many pcoplo como some
time In llfo, and understand It
when they como to it.
The, word translntcd "be
sought' is a word which moans
"to turn," ond Is followed by
"tho fnco of God." In tho margin
ot your Biblos, this group of
wofdii 1 rendered "besought tho
fnco of Gorl.1' Literally rendered,
the'pUssngo would rcad "Moses

Only a loving parent who ha
felt a tiny oft hand pleadingly
"stroking the face" can appreci
ate tho tenderness and power of
it. "Like as a father pltleth HI
children, so the Lord pltleth
them that fear Him."
Tho early church prayed. To
day tho upper room ha taken
the place of the upper room. Play
ha taken tho place of prayer,
und feasting the plnco of fouling.
There aro more full stomach in
tho church thon there are bended
knee and broken heart. How
much effort nowaday and how
little accomplished! There wa
fire from God In the early church
and power manifest In the lives
of tha disciples.
How shall we pray? Christ
give u the parable of the Phari
see and the Publican to teach
how not to pray and how to pray.
"Two went to pray?
O rather say,
One went to brag, th'other to
pray:
One stands up close, and treads
on high,
Where th' other dares not send
his eye;
One neorer to God's Altar
trod,
The other to the Altar' God."

Source of Light. We see the
faults and failures of our
brethren in the church and heed
not our own downright wrong.
doing. Then we aro filled with
righteous Indignation and start
out, a wa think like Chrlat, to
wash tho saints' feet, but we start
to do It with scalding water,
Then we wonder why they re
sent our gentle, ministrations.
There is one way we can help
others, though, and that is to
pray for them. Prayer will work
wonders. Prayer bring God Into
our lives and Into the lives of
our brethren.
Tho third condition I seeking
the face of God. "If My people,
which aro called by My name
shall humbla themselves, and
pray, and seek My face, and turn
from their wicked way." There
aro tho conditions. Humility,
prayer, seeking God'i face. To
"seek God's face" I to do right
and to have fellowship with God.
Surely no man can pray unless
ho Is doing right. To "turn from
wicked ways," Is to turn from
known sin. Surely the man who
pray cannot deliberately harbor
known sin In his heart. The text
then, contains the condition,
without which God, cannot for
give. That condition In one word
Is repentance.
Tho text contain not only a
condition, but a promise as well.
"If My people, which are called
by My namo, shall humble them.
selves, and pray, and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked
ways: thon will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land.
There Is God's positive promise
to hear, God s promise to forgive
God's promise to heal. There is
God's promise to Incline to tho
cry of the penitent; to cleanse
from sin; and to heal and fill
with life from above.
Wo need healing. As Individ.
uala we need healing. As na
tion, we need healing. Let us
humble ourselves and pray. Then
God will hear, and cleanse, and
forgive, and heal. Then our lives
our homes, our churches, our
nation will be filled with the
power of God.
Wa are In the midst of a great
crisis in our national life, a crisis
In tho church, a erisls in the
world. Men know not where to
turn. They should turn, to God,
A few years ago a largo group
of bankers, representing groat
section of Amorlca, were meet
ing in tho southland, discussing
tho Ills of present-day conditions
in Amorlca and Seeking a solu
tion for these Ills. Thoy had
nenred tho end of tho discussion,
when one of the members said,
"Mr. Chairman, I would like to
know your' opinion regarding tho
method of leading Amorlca out
from the difficulties that face her
and us." The chairman was a
man vory highly esteemed by all,
Slowly ho arose' and very de
liberately walked aross to a
table and, opening his brief-case,
took thorcfrom his Bible and
opened it to the very text we
have been discussing and read:
"Whon My people which are
called by My name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek
My face, and turn from their
wicked woys; then will I heor
from heaven, and will forglvo
their sin, and will heal their
land." "That," ald tha chairman,
"I my solution of America's
Ills."
Amorlca has filled - a groat
place in tho. past. America will
fill greater place In the future.
If America will turn to God In
this crisis and seek HI face, she
will fill the greatest place ot any
nation In the history of human
ity. '

Sermon on War and Peace
Given Before Unity Center
By MRS. MARION CLIFTON
"Liberty, Justice,
Righteousness, and Peace"
Perhaps the thing that is
nearest to our heart during
these day, these good day, I
am going to say, for they are
good days, every one of them,
1 liberty, Justice and peace.
The days that we are now fac
ing are bringing out the real
worth of men and women. As
you talk to the people on the
street, in the ihops, In your
homes, you are finding new
depths to their characters, a
new mission in their live. So
I cannot look at these days as
being evil but rather a days
that are testing and trying us,
that are really going to bring
forth the best that Is in human
ity. We are desiring peace but we
know that before we can have
the kind ot peace that we want
there must be many step taken.
The peace for which we pray
1 more than a temporary sus
pension of hostilities between
nations. We pray for the end
of war and the end of the spir
it of war. We pray for the end
of selfishness, injustice and op
pression. We pray for the uni
versal peace of God, a Just and
lasting peace founded on Christ
principles. This peace begins
in the heart of man. It ends
in the establishment of the king
dom of Christ on earth. We
must know that between the be
ginning and the end there are
many steps.
We have a wonderful spirit
here In our country. We feel
the unity of our people all
working together for the com
mon good of humanity. It is
our prayer, our hope, our faith,
that out of the turmoil and the
struggle that is now taking
place, we shall know a world
of unity. The way may seem
dark and hard, but the spirit
that has driven men on through
the centuries will bear us up
now. It has given us the love
of liberty that Is stronger than
oppression and a courage that
is mightier than death. It has
given us the knowledge of Thee,
O Lord, to whom the ultimate
victory belongs. This is not a
war of nations against nations,
but of light against darkness.
Lo, the day is at hand when
tha light will shine again.
It will be war, not cities, that
Is destroyed. It will be ignor
ance, not men that dies. We
shall ..see., a commonwealth, of
nations arise where men will
live together in brotherhood and
understanding working for the
common good ot all men.
We pray for more than a mil
itary victory resulting in the
continuation of hatred and sel
fishness and fear of the past
twenty years. We pray for the
end of physical force and the
victory of Christianity. A Chris
tianity in deed as well as in
word. Not simply saying we
believe In the name of Jesus
Christ but by backing up our
claims by our living. We must
pick up our little selfish per
sonal selves and follow in -His
footsteps to live the life as
Jesu Christ lived it. Impossi
ble? Is it? The reason for His
coming was to show u how to
live. If we do not live this life
to the very highest we know,
then we have faUed the One
that gave His all the One we
profess to love and to serve.
To make this world a place
of peace and plenty a reality,
our prayers can accomplish.
But let us remember that our
prayers must be accompanied
by unwavering faith and fol
lowed by determined action,
this is the prayer that works.
The thing that we are really
seeking now is ' not simply a
freedom or liberty of our little
personal rights. True, that is
included in liberty. Real liberty,
means the liberated spirit, the
spirit that is liberated from hu
man Ignorance and selfishness.
That is the liberty for which
we pray, that the spirit of man
kind may. be, free. "Ye shall
know the truth and the truth
shall make you free." Justice
Is love in action, a love for that
which is right. We cannot al
ways in our human sense rec
ognize divine Justice. You may
feel sometimes that you are
being treated very unjustly, but
with understanding and spirit
ual perception, you will see the
law at work, and you will see
that the law is Just, and that
nothing ever comes to us that
is not of our own making. When
we understand the law and use
It rightly, we will have justice.
Out of such liberty, justice, and
righteousness, we shall have
peace. Tho peace that comes
from a united spirit, a oneness
of spirit with God and with our
fellow man.
Before we can radiate Die
consciousness of peace to the
world, we must make ourselves
peaceful within.
Perhaps you have been con
sidering in your heart what you
can do to best serve your coun
try, you have thought of va
rious ways in which you can
serve. The best . and the high
est way that you can serve your
country and humanity is to be
gin right within your own heart
and m a k.'e. yourself .peaceful.
The edifice of universal peace
is erected ori the foundation of.
individual peace. How can we
have a nation of peace that is
made up of un peaceful individ
uals? How can we have a world
of peace made up of un peace
ful nation Your greatest re
sponsibility in this time 1 to
find the peace of God within
your own soul. Be peaceful
yourself, then and then only
can you radiate peace to the
worlu.
Jesus realized that love and
not strife can dissolve want and
injustice and false pride, and
establish in their place coopera
tion and understanding. Hate
will not win our liberty, but
love will. When your child 1
naughty, you do not hate him.
True, - ou may punish him, but
there is no prejudice or hate in
your heart because your child
ha been wayward and aggres
sive. There are some of God's
children that are wayward and
aggressive and they must be
punished. But does that call for
our hatred and condemnation?
I think not. Faith, love, and
determination, accompanied by
action, will win.
Not by physical force, but in
the Christ mind, lies our salva
tion. We pray for this mind
to be in the men at the head of
this government, and every oth
er government. May this mind
be active la our president and
the congress asd the leaders of
all our affairs. When the Christ
mind is active in a man,, he is
lifted above selfishness and
malice. He has a firmer pur
pose, Is inspired in thought, and
considers only the nation' good.
He leads his people to the full
er joy of prosperity and peace.
As Christians, we have a great
work to do and we are doing
that work faithfully. Despite
appearances, despite opposition,
there is a spirit at work in the
world today. Silently, steadily,
surely, this spirit grows in
might and moves across- the
world, linking heart with heart,
aspiration with aspiration, mov
ing the peoples, of the world
together toward one common
end.. Hate may obscure,- -gun
powder . blacken, but the spirit
ensures, and it will always en
dure, for it is the only 'reality. -
Not depression or fear, but
a clear mind, steadfast courage,
and faith in the outworking of
good, will bring about that
peace of God, -that free, Just,
orderly world which man de
sires, which humanity demands.
God is mightier than the
forces of destruction. Out ot
the old emerges the new, out of
the darkness shines the. light
Out of the inharraonies' of .the
world ' arises the promise of a
new day and a new. life. A king
dpm of liberty,, justice, 'right
eousness, and peace.' Valiant in
the truth, we press on toward
the" peace triumphant. -(Unity

Thought of today:
Another year is dawning, Dear
Father, let it be
In working or in waiting, An
other year with thee
Another year of progress, An
other year of praise,
Another ' year of proving Thy
presence all the days
Another year of service ot wit
ness for thy love,
Another year ot training for
holier work above.
Another year is dawning, Dear
Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year with thee.
Amen.
