THE SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1939 As Amazed Britishers Viewed Runaway Launching H. M. S. Formidable, new British aircraft carrier, rides serenely off the Belfast, Ireland, ways after launching: herself a half-hour ahead of time. The 23,000-ton craft started sliding: down the ways as workmen were knocking out the props preparatory to the launching. As it picked up speed, careening wildly into the water, it hurled timbers in all directions, killing one woman and injuring 20 other people. Lady Kingsley Wood, sponsor of the boat, managed to hurl the traditional bottle of champagne at the retreating craft. The new craft is considered one of the most modern of its kind in the world. Gov. William Vanderbilt of Rhode Island, right, nnveils a monument presented to the city of Newport by the Jewish congregation of the city which was first established in 1658 when 15 Jewish families arrived at Newport from the West Indies. Rabbi Morris Gutstein, right, participated in the exercises, which were part of the colorful Newport tercentenary celebration. Flood Waters Undermine Dixie Street Meet the Champ! Undermined by flood waters from a swollen tributary of the Alabama river, this section of the Prattsville, Ala., main street collapsed, halting traffic through the business district. Floods were caused by heavy rains, and though there was no loss of life, more than 3,000 persons in the southern part of the state were forced to flee their homes. Doctors decided that seven- months-old Sandra Judd Kirchmann was the champion baby in the an nual baby parade at Ocean City, N. J.—and another look will convince you the doctors were right. Wife Beater Collapses in Court Max Hartwell, confessed Los Angeles, Calif., wife-beater, collapsed in court recently when the judge administered a withering tongue-lashing. Hartwell was accused of the unmerciful beating and kicking of his crippled, frail wife, and of torturing her. After hearing Hartwell’s surly admission, the judge lamented the fact that whipping post punishment could not be adminlatered. Oversees Maneuvers Maj. Anthony Eden, former for eign minister of England, gives in structions to a dispatch rider with his battalion of rangers (King’s roy al rifles) in the forest near Beau lieu, where British army maneuvers were held. -AUTUMN SPORTS- Football Is Serious Business But Here’s the Funny Side Each autumn, at risk of smashing their cameras, sports photog raphers get a classic assortment of pictures from the gridiron. They catch beautiful action plays, freak accidents, fumbles, penalty plays and quite a bit of rough stuff generally. The above pose, for example, is not one of endearment. Jack Williams of Santa Clara is merely using a high tackle to down St. Mary’s giant, Mike Klotovich. Jack is prob ably saying, “Beg your pardon, Mike.” And Mike answers, “Not at all. Jack” . . . maybe, but we doubt it. There are many variations of the fum ble, but one variation is as costly as the next. The fellow below must feel rather foolish having his arms tucked nicely away —and lo, no ball! I’ll huff and Til puff and Til shove—and blow your ballplayer down. This is one way to break up a passing attack, but don’t try it while the referee’s watching. The trick, preserved for posterity by your photographer, cost Georgetown a neat 15-yard penalty in its game with Hampden-Sidney last autumn. Yes, Sylvia, it's against the rules. But Georgetown won 51 to 0, anyway. To prove footbalFs a rough game: Left: This chap just collided head- on with a brick wall of the grandstand and is being carried off the field with severe head lacera tions and a fractured wrist. No, Cornelia, we don’t know why he did it. Just got mad, perhaps. Right: Spectators get it, too. Here is Miss Thelma Quinn, Tennessee cheer leader, after being k. o.’d when she got mixed up with a bunch of play ers in last year’s Orange Bowl game. Which proves the safest place to watch a game is over your radio. This New York Giant is soaring through the air. His name: Hank Soar! IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Umon.)

HEZEKIAH: A KING WHO REMEMBERED GOD LESSON TEXT—n Chronicles 30:13-22. GOLDEN TEXT—Turn us again. O God. and cause thy (ace to ahine; and we shall be saved.—Psalm 80:3. The way out—that seems to be the chief object of the search of men. The world is in what seems like hopeless confusion with the immi nent danger of a devastating explo sion which may in the judgment of some destroy civilization. Politics, economics, education, yes, even re ligion, have tried their hands at solving the problem and we seem to be worse off than ever. Conditions are much as they were when Heze- kiah came to the throne after the death of his wicked father Ahab, who had brought Judah into moral, spiritual, and national declension and disgrace. The young king brought the na tion back within a few years to peace and prosperity. How did he do it? He did not do it. God did it, and He did it because Hezekiah re membered Him and led His people in a return to God, in a recognition of His Word, and to restored wor ship. God therefore prospered them. It is significant that while our les son is about King Hezekiah, his per son quickly recedes into the back ground of our thinking and God is given our attention and our praise. Truly great men do not magnify themselves or their own names, but point by their very greatness to the eternal God to whom they give the glory. Let us consider how God worked through Hezekiah. I. A Cleansed Temple. Our lesson calls for attention to the context. Read chapter 29 and learn how the priests and Levites first were directed by the king to cleanse the temple which had suf fered degradation and disgrace un der King Ahab. Sixteen days were devoted to a thorough clean-up. That’s a good place to start. America, how about cleaning up our churches? Some of them need atten tion to their physical property, cleaning and rehabilitation. Others are beautifully kept up as far as the building is concerned, but the rubbish is in the teaching and in the manner of worship. Let’s clean that up too. II. A Prepared Priesthood. Hezekiah gathered the scattered priests and Levites, but he did not pe/mit them to serve in the temple until they had been sanctified and prepared for tneir work. The men who stand in the sanctuary to direct the worship of God must not only be men of God’s own choosing, but they must be cleansed by the blood. As the sacrifices were offered in Heze- kiah’s day, so for us has One been given in holy sacrifice, and unless those who profess to be His min isters have been cleansed by His blood they have no proper place in His service or in the sanctuary. III. A Purified People. The people of the nation were not ready for God’s blessing. Some of those in the northern kingdom, to whom the royal invitation had gra ciously been extended to come to the Passover, scorned the invitation (30:10). There was nothing that could be done for them. But others humbled themselves and came (v. 11), and those in Judah came out in a great assembly (vv. 12, 13). Observe carefully that this was more than a great homecoming or jubilee event. The people were here to worship God and they needed to be prepared by being “healed” of their sins (w. 18, 20). They too needed the cleansing blood. It is the only way even now, for “without the shedding of blood there is no re mission of sin” (Heb. 9:22). Sin is what we must be cleansed from and healed of if God is to bless our land. IV. A Feast of Joy and Blessing. The nation and its leaders kept the feast not only for seven days, for they were not satisfied with this, but they kept it for seven more days. Think of many of us who can hardly sit through an hour of service on Sunday morning, and if we also go to Sunday school we are quite worn out. It is just “impossible” for us to get to the Sunday evening serv ice or to the midweek prayer meet ing. Evidently we do not have the spirit of the people of Hezekiah’s day or the joy that they found in their hearts as they worshiped God. If we did, we would seek His house and give ourselves gladly to His worship. The result would be that we would receive some of the great blessings which came to the people of Judah. The reading of II Chronicles 31 and 32 will reveal how God respond ed to the cry of His people and how He blessed and prospered them. He is the same God today and He can and will do wondrous things for those who trust and honor Him. Commonest Faults Some of the commonest faults of thought and work are those which come from thinking too poorly of our own lives and of that which must rightly be demanded of us.— Bishop Paget.
