ty I hi 1 h4 ft jj7 a your favorite Of all the multitude of grave warnings concerning the trend of our times perhaps the most scare-some is that uttered by J. Edgar Hoover, famous Chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington. He predicts a great upsurge of crime in the immediate future most of it due to juvenile delinquency. While we shall not have such an eruption of "wild children" as occurred in Russia following the revolution, shocking there will come, hr predicts, an epidemic of crimes on all levels. There is another side to the question.

We have just celebrated Christian Youth Week, when the forces of religiously-minded young people rallied all over the United States and Canada. The anniversary of Christian Endeavor, on February 2 gave especial timeliness to this demonstration of the extent and significance cf young people's societies in tne enurcnes. otner great movements, like the 4-H Clubs, likewise reveal the nobler side of youth on the move. There are also afoot plans for the increase of Sur.dav School membership. Despite Mr.

Hoovers grim warning, the outlook is by no means wholly dark. While sin abounds, grace much more abounds. Satan is busy, but the power of God is sovereignand therein lies our hope The rush of returned soldiers into the colleges betrays a serious-minded ess that is full of hopeful portent The Challenge of the Times There are two ways of meeting this admittedly grave situation. One is by fear and panic. Some timid persons think that the world is going to the does, and that they can do nothing about it except wail and weep.

These folk are the day dangerous defeatists. They are the children and grandchildren cf last generation's calamity howlers: On the other hand, there are the multitudes who are aroused to action. They believe that difficulties are things to They ask themselves, first cf all. "What can I do about it?" That leads to and self-improvement and such questionings as. 1 Is my own home a character-building force? Are my own children being trained in ways of character and responsibility? Should I accept leadership of a Boy Scout troop, or a teaching position in a Sunday; School? Should I arouse my neigh-1 bors to the need for a community recreation center? Have I ever pro-'.

tested the sort cf movies that are putting debased ideas into the heads cf youth? Have I ever co-operated with the police in cleaning out te.p rooms and dance halls that violate In the mood for everything it wants to go to tb office to or on your shopping tour.

TO Columbia RADIO AND i ms Symphonic CRITICAL DAY Sunday School Lesson for February 10 is, "A People Disciplined" Numbers the law? Have I ever written to the editor of my favorite newspaper or magazine, protesting its liquor ads and the heavy play it gives to drink ing? All that is militant and man-lov ing in a human heart should be stir red by th? opportunities for human service and for patriotism which the present crisis affords.

It is a call for heroism, and for loyalty to the of Jesus. William Carey's great 'word is a timely motto: "Attempt great things for God; expect things from God." As It Was On Sinai A parallel condition confronted the Hebrews on Sinai. Their weary wanderings through the "great and I terrible wilderness" had brought them up to Kadesh-Barnes, in the i northern part of the wilderness. Should they push into Canaan at once? Tne Prcmiset Land was within their reach. Twelve spies were sent up to investigate the land.

Only two made a favorable report. Joshua and Caleb. The other ten had craven hearts. They were terrified by the enemies and obstacles in the way. And the timid people, despite all the evidences they had been given of Jehovah's protection and providence refused to make the adventure, and so were forced to remain at Kadesh-Barnea until a new and braver generation had been bred.

God kept them in a stern school of discipline for forty years. He had to grow con querors before He could give the nation a chance for conquest. I would like to write a book about Kadesh-Barnea. not only because I discovered there the spring that Moses caused to flow by striking the but also because the place is a monument cf indecision and discipline. Its location, like its lessons is of greatest interest: and American archaeologists are prepared to exctnate the site when quiet comes to the Holv Land.

There were only two heroes Joshua and Caleb recorded as cf the fact-finding expedition; but there were many to follow them in later years, after Divine discipline had done its work. And out of our present trials and triumphs we may expect to see emerge leaders as great in peace as our soldiers have been in battle. May the Almighty be as patient with us as He was with the Hebrews. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS The firmest friendships have been FORD SALES AND SERVICE Phone 366 BENGAL METHODIST Rev.
