‘Guinea Pig’ Test Determines Census Questions
The questions you answer in the 1940 general census will be the result of a “guinea pig” census made by
enumerators in St. Joseph and Marshall counties, Indiana, under the supervision of the U. S. census bureau.
If the questions asked in the experiment are satisfactory, they will be included in the general census.

Railroad Accidents Take 25 Lives in Week’s Time
Twenty-five persons were killed and at least 165 injured during the space of one week recently when
three railroad accidents in the United States made tragic headline history. Pictured here is the wreckage
of the City of San Francisco, which was derailed near Carlin, Nev., causing 23 deaths. Right: A railroad
official inspects the sabotaged rails, pointing to the place where plates that held the rails had been moved

The weighty conference between Sophie Tucker, last of the “red-hot
mamas,” and president of the American Federation of Actors, and Harry
Richman, must have been successful, for shortly afterward the American
Federation of Labor ended a labor dispute centering around Miss Tucker.
The A. F. of L. ordered that her organization be reinstated into the As
sociated Actors and Artists of America, from which it had been previously
expelled. The decision was “pleasing” to Miss Tucker.

Glass—20 Tons of It—Handle With Care
Bunker’s Delight
Using house-moving technique, workmen move the original 200-inch
glass disc of a Corning, N. Y., glass works through a gap which was
cut in a railroad trestle. An entire section of trestle and tracks had to
be removed so that the huge 20-ton telescope eye and its special steel
cradle could pass. The disc is the largest single piece of glass in the
world.

ISAIAH: A LIFE DEDICATED
TO GOD
LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 6:1-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—Here am I; send me.—
Isaiah 6.8.
Crisis! We have had so many of
them that they have almost become
commonplace. There has been one
war crisis after another. There have
been world crisis and domestic cri
sis until the word has almost lost
its meaning.
In the life of the individual, how
ever, the times of crisis are very
real and important. In a critical
illness one knows when the crisis
comes, and he who safely passes
that hour is on the road to recov
ery. More vital than a physical
crisis is a spiritual crisis, when a
man meets God face to face and his
future destiny is determined by the
response which he makes to God’s
call. Isaiah had such an experience
when he came to realize God’s glo
ry, confessed his own unworthiness,
and sought cleansing of life as a
preparation for commission to serv
ice.
I. “I Saw the Lord” (w. 1-4).
King Uzziah, who had begun well
but had forgotten God, was at the
end of his life, a leper because of
his sin, and dying in disgrace. Is
rael which had known unprecedent
ed prosperity under God’s blessing
now hardened its heart nationally
against God and was also about to
go into eclipse. God needed a man
to speak for Him in such an hour,
to bring to His people a message
of judgment and also of blessed in
vitation. To prepare that man, the
great Isaiah, God gave a remarka
ble manifestation of His glory and
power.
It is essential that the man who
speaks for God should first see the
Lord high and lifted up and to hear
of His holiness and glory. The neg
ative tone of the present-day mes
sage, the lack of enthusiasm and
interest in holy things, the low
standards of personal holiness, the
failure to preach boldly the truth
regarding God’s holy standards are
to be explained by the fact that
there has been no vision of the
eternal holiness and glory of God.
The need of the people today is the
same as it was in the time of Isaiah.
Where are the men and women who
are ready for a vision like his and
for the commission which will fol
low?
II. “Woe Is Me! for I Am Un
done” (v. 5).
To see the holiness of God is to
be immediately conscious of one’s
own sin and unworthiness. The ob
vious conclusion which one draws
from that fact is that anyone who
is proud, who is not concerned about
his own sins and the sins of his peo
ple, is living far from God and has
either never known or has forgot
ten about His divine holiness.
Isaiah spoke of the pollution of
his lips, thereby confessing that his
heart was not right. Whereof the
heart is full, thereof speaketh the
mouth, for we read in Matthew 12:
34 that out of the abundance of ‘he
heart the mouth speaketh. Re
member that even though Isaiah
was a believer he recognized the
need of cleansing.
III. “Then ... He Touched My
Mouth” (w. 6, 7, R. V.).
“Then” — what an important
word! When Isaiah called out in
humble confession, “then” he was
cleansed. The turning point is right
at that place for any life. Only
when we come to the place of con
fession and contrition which Isaiah
knew, can we expect the Lord to
send the cleansing fire and the en
abling power.
None but God can give this cleans
ing. Man is unable to wash him
self clean. “For though thou wash
thee with nitre, and take thee much
soap, yet thine iniquity is marked
before me, saith the Lord” (Jer.
2:22. See also Jer. 13:23). Reforma
tion-, turning over a new leaf, char
acter development, all commenda
ble in their place, are not sufficient.
There must be divine cleansing, of
the life if there is to be a commis
sion to service.
IV. “Here Am I; Send Me” (w.
8-13).
God had a difficult and unpopu
lar message to be delivered but now
He had a man who was ready to
carry it. Isaiah had to proclaim
to Israel that because they had
turned from the sunshine of God’s
love, which would have melted their
hard hearts, it had for them be
come the sunshine of His wrath,
which could only progressively hard
en them and turn them from Him.
The same sunshine that melts the
wax hardens the mud.
The work of God in our day awaits
the man or the woman of vision—
the one who has been prepared by
confession and cleansing and who
has then received the divine com
mission.
Faith
Of all the forces at the disposal
of humanity, faith has always been
one of the most tremendous, and the
gospel rightly attributes to it the
power of moving mountains.
