"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.

The Household

Every woman who drives tier cm
realizes the strain that Is put upon
blouses and sleeves. Unless she tias
ample room to manipulate brakes, etc..
the sleeves will tear away around the
arm holes, and .the material across
the back between the sleeves will give

not always possible to wear motoring
costumes when driving. If any trip Is

rations should In

motoring garments.

the shoulders for

sible and stretch
the arms out. and
be assured that
there Is no strain
on back or sleeves.
Also be sure that
the coat falls In
good lines when not
In thiB position. It
must look well-Ot

as well as In.
The vogue of
sleeveless summer
frocks plays well
Into the motorists'
needs. No strain on
such rrockg occurs. When they hnve
cape-sleeve tops, or all-around capes,
the arms do not appear hare, while
there continues to he no strain on the
material when driving.
Knit Suits and Sweaters.
Knit frocks and suits have so much
give to the weaves that they lend
themselves admirably to motorists' re
nulrements. Sweater blouses nave
this same desirable stretching quality
Tn these styles of garments the pres
ent vogue Is excellent for women drlv
ers.
Separate blouses should be selected
In fashions with ample upper sleeve
portions. The now ultra-fashlonabU
old time leg-o'-mutton sleeves have thb
characteristic. The underarm searn
must be long enough not to be strained
when driving, or the sleeve will soon
trlve way.
Smocked blouses are a Joy t.o women
drivers They have a style of their
own which is smart, and they have
every needed requirement of ample
bark and sleeves to be nn Ideal gar
ment. Now that separate '?klrts and
blouses are popular, they afford oppor
(unities for selection of some blouses
for driving to go with a skirt.

point of comparison, however, is In

To prolong the displeasure of the

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOV
' 'C ? 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. This he did by
praying for thunder and rain out of
season They saw this as an example
of Cods mighty power which. If <11
reeled against them, would destroy
them Instantly.
