Man's Failures and God's Promises.
Lesson for July 8: Genesis 6:5-7,
8:1, 4, 18, 20-22. ,
Memory Verse: Genesis 8:22.
The departure of men from origi
nal purity soon had its consumma
tion in widespread wickedness.
And God destroyed all living things
or the earth by a deluge. Several
ancient races had traditions of a
great flood which swept away the
greater part of ma-Jcind. In lower
Mesopotamia the archaeologist
f nds evidence of a flood in the
strata deep down under the level
of the plain.
Here in Genesis we learn that
only Noah and his family and the
creatures with hi nr. in the ark es
caped. At length Noah learned,
when the dove returned with an
olive leaf in her mouth, that the
waters were receding, and at last
when the earth was dry he and all
with him went forth-from the ark,
which had rested on the mountains
of Ararat
Almost the first sign of life which
the lonely old earth saw was a
spiral of smoke curling heaven
ward from Noah’s newly-built
altpr of sacrifice. It was a burnt of
fering—the whole was consumed.
And still God requires the gift of our
all to Him.
Two qreat promises Goa made
to Noah—one the assurance of the
seasons, the other that the raging
waters would nevermore sweep
away all uesh. How necessary the
first to man’s continued life; how
inspiring to the spirit is the rain-
bowl
Retribution must ever come upon
the persistently disobedient and im-
penitant. But even for these there
is hope—to the gate of the tomb—
as long as the rainbow is seen In
the cloud. Beautiful token it !sl
Find your rainbow in the cloud be
cause you admit Jesus into you*
hearts. •<!

In the middle of June some 565
big league ball players were in
military service ... a few are be
ing released every month, but
other players are being inducted.
Major league ball could hardly
have continued during the last two
years, at least, if it hadn’t been
for abdut ’ 200 4-F athletes who
formed a core of high quality per-
formance .’. . around this nucleus
Isome flashy 17-year-olds, and a few
1 ancients of 38 and up have been
tacked to form the 16 big clubs,
i. . . The experts assert that a lot
of the fellows now on the major
teams would be in A. B or even C
outfits in normal times ... if the
war ends soon, a lot of the boys
will be going back to the minors.
The Professional Golf association
is raising funds through tourna
ments to construct and equip a
number of nine-hole courses near
veterans’ hospitals. Since there are
more than 90 such institutions, the
P.G.A. will be unable to take care
of all, but will try to provide this
recreation for the bigger ones. Golf
is about Jhe only sport a handi
capped man can play with any de
gree of satisfaction. Many one-
armed and one-legged men can
consistently score 80 or less.
S/Sgt. Tommy Gomez, a rising
heavyweight before entering the
army, is planning a comeback
when he is released . . . right now
he is recovering from battle
wounds. The Philadelphia Phillies
scatter private detec.ives in the
crowd to discourage betting. In the
early 1890s lacrosse threatened to
displace baseball in popularity in
' several eastern cities.
Two fighters who have been con
sidered to be on the way out have
recently surprised fans by knock
out victories. . . . Ray (Sugar)

United Nations Aim to
Short-Circuit Aggression
— • By A1 Jedlicka
With no indication that the bitter battle centering upon
American entrance into the League of Nations will be re
peated, the U. S. senate is scheduled to consider the ratifi
cation of the United Nations’ postwar security organiza
tion, with prospects of overwhelming approval barring un-
forseen events. ^
Shaped after extended delibera
tions iby 800 delegates from 50
countries at San Francisco, the new
organization holds the hope of the
world to prevent the calamity of
another global conflict even more
devastating than the present one,
causing hundreds of thousands of
civilian as well as military casu
alties and costing upwards of one
trillion dollars.
Streamlined for decisive action,
the organization is built around the
11-nation security council with the
U. S., Britain, Russia, France and
China as permanent members. In
the security council’s hands lies the
power to settle disputes, apply eco
nomic pressure to bear upon poten
tial troublemakers and. if neces
sary, call upon the international
air. sea and ground force to sup
press any aggressor.
The strength of the organiza
tion’s security council also is
its weakness, since any one of
the Big Five, or five of the
smaller alternating members,
can veto decisive action. Since
the U. S., Britain, Russia,
France and China will com
mand the major influence In
the postwar world, however,
there is little likelihood that the
smaller nations themselves will
stand as a block on any ques
tion before the security coun
cil, thus leaving principal re
sponsibility to the Big Five.
Possessing none of the powers of
the security council, but constitut
ing an open forum for influencing
public opinion, the organization’s
general assembly of all the United
Nations will have the right to dis
cuss problems relating to interna
tional peace and human welfare
and pass resolutions and recom
mendations for their advancement.
Right to discuss problems relat
ing to international peace was
one of the privileges won by the
general assembly, principally em
bracing the smaller nations, in the
closing sessions of the San Fran
cisco parley. Opposed bitterly by
Russia, this right affords the gen
eral assembly the opportunity to
help formulate organization policy
by enlisting public support through
the expression of views.
In addition to political action, the
new organization provides for the
legal adjudication of disputes
through a world court, modeled
after the one established by the
League of Nations.
Like the old court, the new one
possesses jurisdiction only in
cases where interested parties
have agreed to accept its rulings in
the interpretation of a treaty or in
ternational law or in questions of a
breach of an obligation and the
payment of reparations. Further,
the court is to furnish legal advice
to the security council or other
organs of the organization after
open hearings of all the nations
concerned.
In the event that one of the
parties to a dispute failed to abide
by the court’s decision, the injured
party could take up the question
of judgment with the security coun
cil, with disposition of the case
then depending upon the unani
mous consent of the Big Five and
the majority of the whole group.
With the French Delegate Paul
Boncour calling it the keystone to
the whole organization, the inter
national air, sea and ground force
to be made available for use in
suppressing aggression ranks as
the first of its kind in history.
To be under direction of a
general staff, with branches in
different regions, the inter
national peace force r^v
draw on as much as one I )
of the U. S.’s wartime mili.-.y
establishment, officials recent- f
1 ly predicted. Under provisions , ’»
of the organization’s charters, , >
the security council shall de- , .
termine the extent of aid mem- *
her nations shall furnish for the \
execution of decisions. ;
To be made up of the chiefs of ^
staff of the Big Five, the general ,
staff of the international peace
force also will be entrusted with
evaluating the strength necessary
to assure postwar security so that
a start could be made on disarma- ,
ment by reducing excess military ;
establishments.
Recognizing that economic condi- [
tions have an important bearing
upon the policies of nations, the or- -
ganization provides for an economic ■*
and social council charged with the ;
promotion of higher standards of ,
living and full employment. The
council also will study the solu- .
tion of health and other problems, ,
and the development of respect for .
human rights and fundamental ;
freedoms.
In the ci-ganization’s trusteeship
policy for conquered or subject ter- \
ritories, the holding powers are ob
ligated not only to provide for the !
welfare of the natives, but also to .
help them attain their political -
aspirations or self-government. In •
case of Pacific islands vital to •
U. S. defense, America will be :
able to retain them for bases or *
turn them over for trusteeship if ^
the senate so decides. • ’
Not concerned with any peace V
settlements, but merely the instru
ment for maintaining security in ‘
the postwar world to be fashioned
at the forthcoming peace confer
ences, the new organization al
ready commands the support of 52 .
senators, 7 short of the two-thirds
majority necessary for U. S. rati- ►
fication. Among 18 classed as non- [
committal, many are known to \
favor a postwar peace organiza- ,
tion, thus leading to expectations
of easy approval of the San
cisco charter.
One advantage proponents ..... .
organization will have in the sen- f
ate is that no objection can bo )
raised to enforce unpopular provi- J
sions of the not-as-yet-held peace i
conference, a major stumbling >;
block in the attempt to secure ap- •
proval of the League of Nations.
