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.

Yes, thank goodness for modern ways

of radio and the miracle of modern
transportation, and for the leisure time
that most of us enjoy because of mod-

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.

always done so, until we recognize the
Lord's Sabbaths in years and centur-
ies as well as in the week.
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.

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.
