Edison Took Out First
Radio Patent in America
Thomas Alva Edison took out the
first American patent on radio. He
was granted a patent on Decem
ber 29, 1871, on a “means for
transmitting signals electrically
between distant points by induc
tion without the use of wires.”
Edison also invented the carbon
microphone and the aerial. More
over, Edison discovered the radio
detector tube—though when he
found it, he didn’t know what to
do with it. For years it was called
the “Edison Effect Tube” and was
exhibited as a sort of electrical
novelty.

GOD IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS
LESSON TEXT—Amos 5:8-15, 21-24.
MEMORY SELECTION—Seek good,
and not evil, that ye may live.—Amos
5:14.
Social justice, though much spo
ken about in receni times, has been
the concern of right thinking men
ever since sin entered the world and
started man’s inhumanity toward
man. In the prophet Amos we find
the eloquent and plain-spoken voice
of one crying out against such con
ditions almost 800 years before
Christ.
This lesson is one which is of ut
most importance, because in our
present-day struggle with social in
justice we have come to assume
that it is primarily a political or
economic question.
The book of Amos and all other
scripture rightly gets at “the focus
of infection,” which is sin. Sin in the
heart leads to sinful actions, and
these- inevitably involve others, and
thus bring about social problems.
I. God Is Great and Just (w. 6-9).
From the little village of Tekoa
and out of the wilderness in which
he had been a herdsman came
Amos, the man of God, to hurl his
prophecy of disaster upon the heads
of the complacent people of Israel
and to take up a lamentation over
those in Israel living in luxury and
prosperity.
It was true that the common peo
ple were being ground under the
heel of cruel oppression, but who
cared about the poor as long as they
could be squeezed for taxes to sup
port the luxurious comforts and
pleasures of the rich? A prosperity
which does not reach the homes of
the poor is not a real prosperity at
all. When in addition it encourages
the “haves” to oppress the “have-
nots” it becomes a grave danger,
a real cause for lamentation.
Over against the social sin and
sorrow of his day Amos placed the
almighty and righteous God. The
people were urged to seek him and
his righteousness. Would they do it?
The answer came quickly.
II. Men Are Small and Wicked
(w. .10-13).
Thank God that it is not true of
all men, but those of Amos’ day
(and many are like them in our
day) turned away in hatred of the
one who dared to rebuke their wick
edness.
Sin is always a horrible thing, but
when men who have fallen into sin
are responsive to correction and
ready to repent and forsake their
sin, there is hope. The thing which
made Isarel’s state so serious in the
sight of God and of his prophet was
that they had only hatred for those
who were bold enough to reprove
them or to live among them accord
ing to God’s standards (vv. 10, 13).
“They who will endure no criti
cism have slammed the door in the
face of truth. When we get to the
place where we cannot endure hav
ing our faults pointed out, we are
on the way to moral collapse”
(Douglass).
III. Men Should Hate Evil (w.
14, 15).
God loves the sinner, even when
he is in his sin. God wants to help
him, and so pleads with him to hate
the evil enough to forsake it, and
love the good enough to turn to God
in repentance.
God’s Word condemns sin, but it
also presents a remedy. In Christ
we have the perfect, final, and com
plete answer to the sin question.
Amos, speaking centuries before
Christ, admonished Israel to repent
and to turn away from the evil which
they had cultivated with such assi
duity, and to be equally zealous
about doing good, in the hope that
“it may be that the Lord God of
hosts will be gracious” (v. 15).
How favored we are to be per
mitted not only to urge people to
turn from evil to good, but to offer
them the One who is the way, the
truth, and the life.
Israel did not repent, but in folly
depended on their religious cere
monies to satisfy an offended God.
The prophet therefore declares that
IV. God Hates Hypocrisy (w.«21-
24).
God had no pleasure in their re
ligious observances and rites, be
cause they were presented with un
repentant hearts and by hands
which were soiled by the oppression
of their fellow man.
Mark it well, God has no delight
in the attendance upon church serv
ices, beautiful though they may be;
he does not listen to the sweet
strains of sacred music, nor does he
accept the rich “offerings” of those
who live in unforsaken sin and who
pay for magnificent church build
ings and beautiful church services
with money gotten by crooked deal
ings and social injustice.
God is righteous, and God’s Word
always cuts right through the hy
pocrisy of men. Let us heed the’plea
of Amos, that righteousness should
run through our personal and na
tional life "as a mighty stream,”
and then we shall be ready both as
individuals and as a people to wor
ship trim aright.
