July 3, 1949 MAKING NATIONAL HOLIDAYS CHRISTIAN Psa. 33:1-12
Holiday seasons should be welcomed by the Christian, for on these days the heart and soul may be undisturbed in the service of the King. Holidays may be a means o f growing in grace and in the knowledge o f our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. At such times, the regu lar duties of life may be laid aside and we may assume the duties of heaven in a new way, and be refreshed in the presence of the Lord. These occasions may be used most profitably and should be times o f glorifying God, bringing blessing to men, and profit to ourselves. Application of the Day Rom. 15:2 It could be considered good use o f the day if its character influenced personal character. On Independence Day let us study the great freedoms that Christ provides for the Christian. On Armis tice Day let us consider the peace of God, in all of its wonderful aspects. On New Year’s we may emphasize the new life in Christ Jesus; at Christmas time, God’s great gift, His Son; and at Easter, the resurrection in all of its victorious light. Of course, there are commercial days such as have been created in order to sell merchandise and there are “ church days” which have been es tablished to promote certain religions, but these days need not affect our lives. Make the Day Profitable Eph. 5:16 Christians need time to have the heart strengthened by faith, the mind trained, and the soul enriched. This is greatly hindered by the very busy lives we are forced to live these days. There is little time to spend in meditation,
Bible study, and self-improvement. Na tional holidays offer relaxation from the daily tasks and give wonderful oppor tunity for Bible study and prayer. There are many good books to read. There are helpful magazine articles available. There is the inexhaustible Scripture to be studied. The soul may retire on the holidays from the public gaze and the crowd to spend some time alone with God. Consider the Character o f the Day Col. 2:16 Many holidays have been devised and forced upon the public to cele brate the Catholic religion. “ Saint” days, Lent, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sun day, etc., are binding upon Christians. The purpose o f such days is to propa gate this false religion and to force Protestants to accept Rome’s suprem acy. On these days, there should be much activity in spreading the gospel, distributing tracts and Bible portions, and in every way seeking to help others to know the Saviour personally. Use the Day Wisely 1 Cor. 10:33 Some holidays are most appropriate for Christian ministry. On Christmas Day, visit the homes that need to know about the birth o f the Saviour. On Thanksgiving Day, minister spiritual ly and materially to those whose lot is hard and whose needs are many. On New Year’s, visit those who need to enter into a new life and to lay aside the old habits to walk with God. On Washington’s Birthday, we may express our gratitude for great leaders and godly guides to whom our nation is in debted.

July 10, 1949 WE ALL PAY FOR GRAFT AND GREED Matt. 13:24-30
Sin in the heart is the cause of every form o f graft and greed. Selfishness is at the root o f this difficulty in the soul and this in turn is generated by a sin ful nature. The world does not live by
the precepts of our Lord. The world has no rule o f right or wrong to govern its living. Each one lives for himself. When the opportunity comes for personal gain, then the attempt is made to obtain T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
