The plane on which an actor was
flying across darkest Africa
crashed in a very heavy jungle. He
was the only one of the passengers
or crew able to walk so he started
out tor help. He had gone a few
miles when he was set upon by a
band of half-naked black men.
They quickly subdued him, tied
him up and carted him off to their
village. He was brought before the
chief who shot a string of questions
at him.
“So you’re an actor,” the chief
said. “That’s fine. Sit down next to
me. X want to tell you a few
stories.”
The stories that the chief told
were risque but they had the actor
holding his sides with laughter.
When the chief finished his joke-
telling one of his subordinates came
over and whispered in his ear.
“You know we are going to eat
this guy,” he said. “Wlv are you
making him so happy?”
“I have a yen for spiced ham,”
explained the chief.

No More Ham
Because it was a boom town the
road company of “Ali Baba and the
Forty (count them) Thieves”
charged much higher admission
prices than they would have ordi
narily. And because the prices
weren’t posted the customers were
forced to ask the cashier what they
were.
“Four dollars and forty cents to
see a bunch of hams!” snorted one
customer to the manager of the
show. “Well, Ali Baba, I’ve seen
you, and if you’re representative
of the rest of the company, I don’t
want to see any more.”
Sufficient Grounds
“I can’t think of leaving the thea
ter,” wailed an actress who had
had nothing but bit parts for many
years, “I’m married to it.”
“Well, why don’t you sue it for
non-support?” suggested her sever
est critic.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
A boss farmer saw a light in
the shed. He investigated and
found one of his helpers with a
lantern.
“What do you mean by using
up oil when it’s so scarce?”
“Well,” replied the helper,
"Rm on my way to see my girl
and I’ve got to go through the
woods. I don’t want to go
through in the dark.”
“When I went courting my
wife I went in the dark,” said
the farmer.
“Yeah, but look what you

Lesson for July 10, 1949
W E did not win all the battles we
fought with Japan. The day of
a certain naval defeat near the
Philippines, an American “baby”
carrier, left to its
fate, was doing its
best to get away
from the pursuing
Japanese. All af
ternoon it dodged
and twisted. Ene
my destroyers and
planes were hot on
its trail, and it
was a “sitting
duck” in case they
really got the
range. No one on board expected
to live. The only question in any
body’s mind was: How soon will
they tvt us? But late in the after
noon, for some reason never ex
plained, the enemy gave up the
chase, and the American ship
slipped off into the protecting
night The next day, as the men
gathered for a special service of
thanksgiving, the chaplain read the
124th Psalm. It came as a new
Psalm altogether to those men,
even to those who had known it by
heart:
“If it had not been the Lord who
was on our side, when men rose
up against us, then they had
swallowed us up quick, when their
wrath was kindled against us; then
the . . . proud waters had, gone
over our soul. Blessed be the Lord,
who hath not given us as a prey
to their teeth.”
"Let Me Write
A Nation’s Songs”
T HE POWER to thrill has not
been lost by the Psalms, as the
men on that carrier found out. The
group numbered 120 through 134 in
our Bibles are known as the “Pil
grim Marching Songs,” and were
originally used by the Hebrews as
they went year by year up to their
capital city of Jerusalem and to
the Temple which was the center
of their religion. Then as now, the
Hebrews were a singing people. A
nation that cannot sing, a nation
without songs, is a dismal country
indeed.
Difference among various
countries is symbolized by
their songs, or the lack of them.
The Chinese, for instance, have
no song that draws them all
together in the same way that
Englishmen are united in “God
Save the King” or as French
men once were by the “Mar
seillaise.”
When it comes to pass, as once
it did in the United States, that one
part of the nation will sing one song |
(say, “John Brown’s Body”) while !
another part will not sing that song
but another one (say, “Dixie,"), ,
then civil war is at the gates. Only
people who will sing together can
be trusted to live together

Singing Church
I N the long caravans, marching
up the rocky hillside trails to Je
rusalem, the ancient Hebrews put
their faith into stirring words set i
to music. So it is always. All over
the Christian world, wherever and
whenever the singing is good, re
ligion is warm and vigorous.
Where the heart is full, there
will be song. Revivals of re
ligion are revivals of singing.
To this day a stranger in a
strange city, looking for a
church home, is most likely to
settle down in the church where
the singing is the best.
It is not an accident that the
Moravian church is at the same
time the church that makes more
of Easter than some other
churches, it is the church where at
funerals the music is never sad
but joyous, not mourning-songs but
triumphant hymns of Christian
faith.

Patriotism and Religion
R EAD these marching Psalms |
through—the reading time is i
only a few minutes—and see for
yourse.f how the ancient Hebrew
men of God united their praise of
Him with love for their country.
To this day, in our Christian hym
nals, patriotism and religion are
often combined. The English na
tional anthem, “God Save the
King,” is a prayer; so is “America
the Beautiful.” National hymns
have a rightful place in a book of
public worship. For while patriot
ism, by itself, is a poor substitute
for religion, still a man who will
not love his country lacks some
thing of being a good Christian, and
on the other hand a man without
faith in God makes a very poor
citizen.
