"An Epic of Justice" By LEONARD A. BARRETT The "Divine Comedy" was written by a man who had nursed, for many years, a great sor row tn hla heart. Dante, the great Italian poet, was born In Florence In 1265. He lived In an age of politi cal strife and per secution. When his own native city was betrayed Into the hands of her ene mies, Dante was banished, with the decree that should he ever return he would be burned alive. During the period of this exile much of his literary work was accom plished, the most noteworthy being "The Divine Comedy." Two Important experiences caused him to write the book, his great love for one woman, and his natural rebellion against the social Injustice of his age. "The Di vine Comedy" has been called. "An Epic of J.ustlce." Dante Interpreted Justice ad nature's supreme law, the workings of which law are evidenced in every one's dally experience. The past three years through which we have passed cannot be character ized as . one of political persecution, and yet of these three years, evidenc ing the greatest depression known in our history, we naturally inquire, will any good come out of it? Hnve we learned any lessons that will guide us in the future? Will our experience be only a memory, and our attitude toward life's values be just the same as before, as soon as the recovery period has been completed? Questions like these give one cause for serious concern. The adjustment of unstable banking laws, the discovery of loop holes mak ing possible evasion of taxes, the ef forts to stabilize prices at a Just scale of values; are all encouraging signs of the recovery period. The most im portant question still remains unan swered: Has national character suf fered sufliciently to have enabled It to make any contribution of permanent value to literature, art or even the per manent security of democracy? Great art, like great literature, was created during the depression periods of history. Let us hope that some con tribution will be made to the cultural development of our country that will strengthen and fortify our national character. ?, 193S, Western Newapapor Union.

Also be sure that the coat falls In good lines when not In thiB position. It must look well-Ot tlng out of the car as well as In.

Now that separate '?klrts and blouses are popular, they afford oppor (unities for selection of some blouses for driving to go with a skirt. Traveling Happy Hond.

Responding to God's Call. I. Samuel's Birth (1:1-20). He was given to Hannah In answer to her prayer. Ills name means "asked of God." II. Samuel Lent to the Lord (1:24 28). In connection with Hannah prayer for a man child, she vowed to give him to God. He was to be a Nazarlte all the days of his life. In fulfillment of her vow, she took him at an early age to the sanctuary and gave hi in over to the charge of Kli, the priest, to minis ter therein. III. Samuel Called of God (3:1-10). Dwelling within the sacred courts nnd ministering before the Lord with Kli, Is the innocent Samuel who is to become the saviour of his people. In Samuel we have a striking pattern of child religion. The Lord gave him in answer to his mother's prayer, and from his birth he was dedicated to the Lord. In the Scriptures we have set forth two types of experience; the one experiencing the saving grace of (Jod after having lived in sin; the oth er of one brought tip in the nurture and admonition of the Lord from his infancy. Two traits of Samuel's character stand out in his call ? his cheerful obe dience to the l ord's call, n ml his sur rendered will. IV. Samuel Established in the Pro phetic Office (.'1:11-21). L*p to this time Samuel obeyed Ell. The time 1ms now come when he must directly henr and obey the Lord. The first message entrusted to him was a most terrible one. It doubtless was a bitter experience to Ell to see Samuel recognized, and himself passed by, but he was submissive. This fearful visi tation upon Eli's house was due to the sins of his sons. Ell was accountable because ho had not restrained them. He was a good man. hut lax In the discipline of his children. Samuel grew and the Lord was with him and did iiot let any of his words fall to the ground. So fully did the Lord bless his ministry that all Israel knew thrvt be was established as the Lord's prophet. V. Samuel, the Judge (7:1-17). 1. People called to forsake their Idols (vv. 1-0). Because of their sins Clod permitted the nation to be bitter ly oppressed by the Philistines. Sam uel promised them deliverance on con dition of repentance (v. 3). 2. Samuel prayed for the people (vv. 7-14). In response to his prnyer Hod miraculously delivered them frntn the Philistines. This victory wns memorialized by the setting up nf the stone called Eben^zer (v. 12) .1. Samuel Judging Israel (vv. 1.V 17). Bethel, nilgai, Mizpeh. and Rnmnli were his circuit, to each of which he made annual vlsils. These centers were for tUe accommodation of the people. 4. Samuel's final address (12:1-2.")). When Saul, the new king, was crowned. Samuel graciously retired, turning over to him the nation's af fairs. a Samuel's challenge to the peo ple (vv. 1 -."?). lie reminded them of the way the king had been given and showed their direct responsibility for the change in government. He re viewed his own administration, show ing Ids walk from childhood, and his career as Judge and ruler To this the people responded by a vote of con fidence. It was Snmuel's right as he laid down the reins of government to have his records vindicated. h. Samuel reviews Clod's dealings with the nation from the time of Moses (vv. 0 l.~). He showed them thnt national prosperity was condi tioned upon obedience (v 11) Though they had displeased fiod in choosing a king, if they would fear the Lord and render obedience, national pros perity would still be given them c. Samuel's personal Vindication (vv 10 2M. The hour was so critical In the nation's history that Samuel sought to Indelibly '? ipress upon their hearts its meaning.
