SIMMY SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev. Charles E. Dunn, D.D.
The Christian's Devotional Life
Lesson for October 2nd
Matthew 6:5-15
Golden Text: 2nd Peter 3:18
The heart of our lesson is the
Lord's Prayer, a summary, simple
and eloquent, of the entire Chris-
tian faith. All that we need to
know about God and man is con-
lamed wi\hin its brief compass. It
is indeed, more
than a prayer. It
is the creed of
Jesus, and also a
covenant binding

II/ASHINGTON, D. C. (Auto-
W caster) Sept. 29.—The princi-
! pal question which is being asked
jin political circles is: “What does
, the result of the Maine election
mean?” It is an old saying, “as
Maine goes so goes the Union.”
The Democrats are jubilant l>e-
i ruse they say that it means that
| Roosevelt will carry Maine and a
.ol, of other Republican states.
Republican managers are down-
hearted, but are trying their best
o prove to themselves or to ot ters
that the Maine election means
nothing of the sort.
The election of Governor in
Maine has always been held in
September, because by the time
November comes around a good
deal of the state is usually snowed
mi and N is difficult for tne voters
to get to the polls.
Maine elected a Demon utic
Governor and three Democratic
Congressmen out of four, at 'he
election on September 12. Maine
being the oldest prohibition state,
having “gene dry” way ban' in
the 1840’* a good many com-
mentators interpret rhe Demo-
cratic success as meaning that tin
people of Maine have tired of pro-
hibition. But in answer to that the
Drys point out that the only Re-
publican Congressman elected was
| in the district which includes tile
J city of Portland, the largest city
I in the stale,, and that this paiticu-
lar Congressman happens to be a
Dry and if any part of Maine
were to vote against prohibition,
it would be expected to be its
largest city.
State Election* Influence
Local conditions always in-
fluence the state election. It is
being explained by Republican
managers that the people of
Maine were feeling the burden of
taxes imposed by the Republican

Rev. Chas. E. Dunn
iii heaven,” which Prof. Palmer
regards as "the hush before pray-
er," introduces us to a characteris-
ic doctrine of Jesus, the Father-
hood of God. This idea was not
original with the Master, but un-
der His creative tout'd it came to
full flower.
Note that there are six petitions
in the prayer. The first three re-
minds us of our obligations to
God. The last three arc concerned
with our relations to one another.
“Hallowed be Thy Name,” tile
tirst petition, assures us that
reverence for God is basic. The
modern world greatly needs this
reminder, for our age, in certain
respects, is shockingly vulgar, in-
decent, and bud-mannered.
"Thy Kingdom come.” Jesus
pleached, as His major teaching,
.lie gospel of the kingdom. This
divine realm is both a present
commonwealth, and a future hope.
“Thy will be done.” This is an
apt petition for dark days like
those of the present. It was the
Master’s prayer in the garden of
Gethsemane, and of Dr. Grenfell
as he drifted out to sea, on an ice
pan, with little hope of rescue.
“Give us this day our daily
bread.” This is a prayer for
simple, modest living, a request
for bread, not cake.
“Forgive us our debts,” is first
a confession of sin. For honest
contrition there is forgiveness, but
it is conditional. Unless we forgive
our debtors, God cannot forgive
us.
The last petition, "Lead us not
into temptation,” is a practical
reminder of the ever-present pow-
er of the tempter. We are to be
watchful, beseeching God that He
will not allow us to yield to temp-
tation, and fell into its snare.
Presidential elections are al-
ways complicated in many states
by the local elections for Gover-
nor and other state officers. And
it often happens that even when
the elections arc held on the same
day, the candidates of one party
for Governor will be elected while
the other party carries the state
on the Presidential ticket. That
happened in New York State in
1928, when Roosevelt, a Demo-
crat, was elected Governor, hut
Mr. Hoover carried the state for
President.
Washington wa- greatly amused
by the insistence of the Repub-
lican managers, who rushed to the
White House as soon as the Maine
results were known, that the
President must get out and stump
the country. But after thinking it
over Mr. Hoover decided to ad-
here to his original program of
making only two or three speeches
during the campaign.
Consolidated Department*
The reorganization of govern-
ment departments, with Congress
authorized at the last session is
now under way. In the course ot
years there has grown up in
Washington a great amount ot
overlapping of authority and
duties, between one department
and another. This has not only
caused confusion and delay in the
administration of public office,
but also a duplication of expense.
For example: Not very long ago
it was calculated that more than
