a. . the hout utor, Thursday, August 24, 1939. THE SOWER A Weekly Department of Religious and Secular Thought Contributed by REV. JAMES A. TURNER, Pastor, M. E. Church, Patton, Pa. Here is an interesting excerpt on the “law of the Cycle”, from William J. Cameron's sermon on “The Economic Law of God,” delivered in the Christ Episcopal Church, Dearborn, Michigan, several years ago. Mr. Cameron was a newspaper man in Detroit, Michigan, for many years, and then became the editor of the Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford's weekly magazine, which for many years had a circulation of half a mil- lion. When Mr. Ford abruptly dis- continued that magazine Mr. Cameron became one of the executives of the Ford Motor Company, and at the pres- ent time is one of the executives clos- est to Mr. Ford himself. Economists have long noted recur- rent periods of hard times, panic, breakdown. Their statistical charts plot the ups and downs of economic exper- ience. Only a few years ago their books were telling us we had abolish- ed the cycle—hard times would come no more. They have come more disas- trously since that statement was made than ever before. The law of God tells us there is a cycle in these affairs, and tells us how to meet it. There is a cycle element in life. Day and night—the night repairs the day. Sunday—ah! we obey the law of tle cycle there. Six days we buy and sell; dig and carry; plan and make—the world is full of roar of traffic and the tension of business. Then Sunday with its freedom and its peace. Look at the production chart of the week—for six days it runs at high level; on Sun- Ciano, Hitler Gr day it plunges to zero Wheels cease, schedules fall; banks close; legislatur- es adjourn; schools suspend; the shutters are up in the markets; the din dies down. Only our familiarity with it dulls us to the miraculous won- der of it God’s economic law says, As you do every seventh day, so shall you do every seventh year, “Oh,” we say “we can't do that. This is impossible.” Listen, my friends, to one divine pe- | culiarity of God's economic law: If we foil to do the will of God in this par- ticular, the will of God is done upon us. “Let it be done through you, or it will be done TO you’—that is the law of God. It is an historical fact that we do | keep this “impossible” seventh year. Oh, yes, we keep it! Read the charts of the economists and you will see {ae | startling regularity with which busi- ness and production falls down in pe- riods of seven years. Fourteen times in | the last hundred years it is distinctly | marked. The law of the cycle seems | to be written in the very constitution | of our world and our life. But what God desired to be a bene- {ficient thing has become a nightmare, a terror, through our disobedience. God intended that every seventh year his people should walk into an open year for the readjustment of economic life in all its phases—the slate was to be cleaned of all individual debits and credits. In the fiftieth year, the year of jubilee, the proclamation of which is engraved on the Liberty Bell of the United States, there was to be general corporate liquidation. Well, it occurs. Fortunes that began about fifty years ago are being redis- tributed; I can name you twenty such fortunes in Detroit. The masters of industry will tell you that six years is a cycle for any factory or any pro- duct. Try to beat the law of the cycle and the law of the cycle beats us. It has ind Their ‘Axis’ _ Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano chats with German Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler during conversations at Berchtesgaden and Salzburg between Ciano and Joachim von Ribbentrop, German foreign minister. Observers believed this conference brought a statement of Italy's disinclination to support Germany in a war over Danzig, also paving the way for an all-European conference to settle issues over Danzig and Italian claims against France. Times Changed .« « Thank Goodness Yes, thank goodness for modern ways . . . for sensible clothing, for the magic of radio and the miracle of modern transportation, and for the leisure time that most of us enjoy because of mod- ern electrical household appliances. Electricity can do more to improve the standard of living in your home than anything else. No matter what your age, occupation or interests may be... electricity can help you live a happier, fuller life in many ways. { | Have | | ment contract for bituminous coal executor of Fred C.

Read your Bibles and you'll see how beneficient, how unalterable is the law of the Lord in this respect. And judge from our own present ex- perience how this great and pleasant holiday of the Lord is become a day of darkness and distress because we op- pose it. I am not holding forth this law of God as something we may do or not, as it suits us; I am saying that the Scriptures declare this law to be op- erative—fruitful and pleasantt if we walk in it; a time of crashes and panic and loss if we oppose it. Let us pray that President and peo- ple may be enlightened to honor the never-evaded economic law given us in the scriptures. PATTON METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH James A. Turner, pastor.

Two women were walking tog when one inquired of the mutual acquaintance did no the church. The reply was: should not say that Clara belonged to the Church. I know that is the usual way to put it, but if words mean any- thing at all, it does not seem fair to twist their meaning. Sarah belonged first and always to HERSELF, and when she joined the church she had no idea of actually belonging whatever. Her time does n it, her spending mor i long to it, her friendships and desires and ambitions do not belong to it. If she does church work she does it as a favor. If she gives a little more than usual, she thinks herself truly genre- ous. There is not one inch of Sarah which really belongs to the church of Jesus Christ.—From the Sunday Sch- ool Times.
