Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
A People in Distress.
Lesson for July 4: Exodus 1:6-
14; 2:23-25.
Golden Text: Exodus 2:23.
We begin the third quarter’s
study, “God in the Making of a
Nation: Era of Moses,” with a
picture of the Israelites in dis
tress—one similar to that of Jew
ish people in Germany and Nazi-
controlled countries.
Some think the Shepherd Kings
ruled in Lower Egypt when Jacob
came into Egypt. They were for
eigners whose people were origi
nally nomads and shepherds, and
their origin and the ascendancy
of Joseph led those kings to deal
kindly with shepherds from Pal
estine. But in time a king arose
“who knew not Joseph.” And the
natives who restored the throne
to an Egyptian were not kindly
disposed toward the Israelites.
Further, in nearly 400 years,
the Israelites had so increased in
number that Pharaoh claimed to
regard them as a menace to the
safety of Egypt in time of war.
And he began an oppression of
the Israelites with > the design of
reducing their number and of
breaking their spirit.
We see the opportunity of God’s
providence in this oppression. The
Israelites, growing in number and
prospering in Egypt, had forgot
ten God. But they turned unto
Him in their distress “and their
cry came up unto God;” he re
membered his covenant. How
God worked for his people’s good
win be seen in our later study.
God will always remember his
covenant with a nation or an in
dividual But for every covenant
of blessing, conditions must be
met. Do we remember our part
of the covenant?

After this war there will prob
ably be even more changes in our
way of living than there were af
ter the last war, for with each
succeeding decade 'we seem to
progress more rapidly in the
sciences and in mechanics. Maybe
in a few million years we will
grow smart enough to devise some
method of preventing the whole
sale murder called war.
War is a devastating destroyer,
not only of material things, but—
far more important—of that most
vital element in our social set-up
—youth. But even war has some
compensations—in that it hastens
scientific and mechanical re
search and evolution. It has been'
said, for instance, that the tre
mendous advances made in the
prevention of social diseases dur
ing our First World war have al
most balanced the destructive ef
fect upon humanity occasioned by
the terrible loss of life during
that war. Spectacular steps were
taken in surgery, aviation, radio,
manufacturing methods and un
numbered other lines.
This war will create like ad
vances and, if anything, even
more sensational. As an instance
—the tin can which has “suckled”
our new generation since infancy,
will in many cases be replaced by
paper containers of frozen foods.
Fresh frozen delicacies from far
off lands and unfamiliar climates
will be purchased at the corner
grocery shop just as we now buy
a can .of tomatoes from New York
state or of pineapple from Cali
fornia. And these delicious foods
will be just as fresh in the stew
pot in Podunk as they were on
the day they were picked in Siam
or Palestine.
Ships Will be fitted with enor
mous sub-zero space and will car
ry the freshly frozen meats, fruits
and vegetables of one part of the
earth to another. Every grocer
will have glass covered, low tem
perature cases from which the
marketer will select her groceries
just as she now does from bins
and shelves and counters.
Every mechanical refregerator
will be equipped with a large com
partment which maintains a tem
perature of around zero, and
when the frozen groceries or
meats are delivered they will be
placed therein until used. Sep
arate low-temperature containers
—which before the war were so
expensive—will be manufactured
.at prices which the majority of
families can afford to pay. They
will be made in much smaller
sizes also because every grocer
will have “frozen storage” and it
will not be necessary for the
nearby family to carry more than
a small supply.
There are today about 65 varie
ties of frozen foods. After the
war there will probably be several
hundred and many of these will
be cooked before they are frozen.
Let us hope they are not also
pre-masticated and pre-digested:
there is still a certain amount of
pleasure in those occupations.
Great processing plants will
doubtless spring up in rich or
chard country and in districts a-
dapted to the growing of fine
vegetables; and perhaps near the
great stockyards of Chicago and
Fort Worth. Thu& fresh picked
fruits and vegetables and properly
killed and hung meats will be
processed on the spot and shipped
in “sub-zero” trucks, airplanes,
railroad cars and ships to the far
corners of the earth. And there
won’t be any ration books: we
can gorge ourselves to death.

TODAY
and
TOMORROW
By DON ROBINSON
BUTTQNS ~ , miracle
Too many of us think that,
when the war ends, somebody in
Washington is going to push a
button which will immediately
convert our country from a war
time prosperity to a peacetime
prosperity. We like to imagine
that, when the button is pushed,
tank assembly lines will suddenly
start turning out shiny new auto
mobiles, roast beef will appear in >
all the butcher shops of the land,
our ration books can be tossed
in the trash barrel, the 10,000,000
men in the army and navy will
appear on their home doorsteps
in civvies and we can gorge our
selves with luxuries of all kinds.
We hear about the problems of
post-war planning, but in general
itiey bore us, for we have an in
finite faith in that Washington
button. We have seen our
country converted, almost over
night from making civilian prod
ucts to turning out the greatest
supply of war equipment evdr
produced by any nation. Why
can’t Washington, with equal
fpcility, shift us back again into
a prosperous peacetime nation?
The answer is that Washington
would like to try—but if we let
Washington do it, instead of do
ing it ourselves, we will end up
with a peacetime dictatorship
very similar to the ones we are
now fighting to destroy. We must
decide quickly whether we are go
ing to have our lives run, after
the war, by the government or by
the people.
PLANS . . . Washington
There are some members of our
Washington bureaucracy who
would jump at the chance to
make us all subservient to gov
ernment. They would like to have
the
government tell us
what
we
can
own, how
much
money
we
can
make,
what business
we
should go in,
and how
much
we
should pay for everything we
buy. They are the men who think
our type of democracy is old-
fashioned and want to substitute
regimentation for independence.
There are other members of our
government who want to preserve
democracy and free enterprise—
who think our constitutional form
of government is just as superior
as it ever was—but even they
realize that the government will
have to draw the blue prints for
our lives after the v/ar unless we
do it ourselves.
To do it ourselves, we must
first get rid of the idea that
there is going to be an over-all,
national plan which will prevent
a depression, guard against unem
ployment and bring our economy
back to normal. Any such over
all plan would have to be one
controlled by the government.
Instead of waiting for some
magic formula to evolve in Wash
ington, we must, instead—each
one of us—figure out v/hat we
can do to bring our own business
and our own lives back to nor
mal.
• ■ ' /
INGENUITY . spirit
The strength of our democracy
lies in individual ingenuity.
When our forefathers built this
great country they didn’t do it
by forming a government and
waiting around to have that gov
ernment tell them what to do
next. Instead, each man worked
out his own individual problem.
Some decided to operate stores,
others decided to be miners,
others built roads and others took
up farming.
The pioneering spirit which led
these men to strike out for
themselves and v/ork out their
problems in their own individua 1
ways is the type of spirit which
we must depend upon after the
war for putting our world togeth
er again.
Instead of trying to figure out
what the government can do for
us after the war, we should sii
down and plan how we can worl
things out without asking th'
government for anything. I
things look tough and the gov
ernment offers to help us cu
with loans or regulations v/e mus‘
refuse that assistance, pull in oir
belts and call on our own- intelli
gence and ability to solve our cwr
problems.
Just as a child who gets every
thing he wants from his parent
