LESSON TEXT—Hosea 6:1-7; 14:4-9.
GOLDEN TEXT—If we confess out
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.—I John 1:9.
(v. 6) tell of expansion and growth.
The olive tree (v. 6), the corn and
the vine (v. 7), all speak of fruitful-
ness and usefulness. The smell of
Lebanon (v. 6) is the smell of cedar
and bespeaks a life so fragrant that
it spreads around it the “sweet sa-
vor of Christ” (II. Cor. 2:15). The
evergreen fir tree (v. 8) speaks of
constant freshness and beauty.
God has all these things in mind
for every Christian, that is, for ev-
ery sinner who will repent and turn
to Him through Christ, and for ev-
ery backslider who will return to
Him today.

In 1929, agricultural products provided one-fourth of
Texas’ total cash income while minerals amounted
to one-fifth. In 1938, agriculture including government
susidies yielded but one-fifth while minerals, prin-
cipally oil and gas furnished one-third.
T
| EX AS farmers and ranchers received
•I last year from oil men the huge sum
of $132,478,000 for leases and royalties as their
share in this partnership.
All but seven of Texas’ 254 counties now
share in this cash return from leases and production on
more than 50,000,000 acres of Texas land.
Then, too, the Texas farmers and ranch-
ers sell to oil workers and their families more than $60,-
000,000 worth of farm and livestock products each year.
Thus the farmers and ranchers of our
state receive nearly 200 million dollars a year as their
share of oil’s total expenditure of 750 million dollars
annually in Texas. These 200 million dollars in turn flow
into every channel of Texas trade.
The Texas farmer and rancher and the oil
man are partners in he development of Texas.

When Acid Indigestion, Gas on
Stomach or Heartburn make you
feel uncomfortable or embarrass
you, try Alka-Seltzer, which con-
tains alkalizing buffers and so
'helps counteract the associated
Excess Stomach Acidity.
But the relief of these minor
stomach upsets is only a small
part of what you can expect
Alka-Seltzer to do for you. You
will find it effective for Pain Re-
lief in Headache, Neuralgia, Colds
and Muscular Aches and Pains.
It contains an analgesic, (sodium
acetyl salicylate), made more
prompt and effective in its pain-
relieving action by alkaline buffer
salts.
When hard work or strenuous
exercise make you feel tired and
dragged out, enjoy the refresh-
ing effect of a glass of sparkling,

God loves sinners! This is the mes-
sage of the Bible. God hates sin,
but He loves sinners and is eager
that they should repent and receive
His forgiveness. God even loves the
backslider, the one who has been in
fellowship with Him, has tasted the
joys of the eternal promised land
and then turned back to the flesh-
pots of the world. This is the spe-
cial message of the book of Hosea,
for he deals with a backsliding and
rebellious Israel, so determined to
turn against God’s love that they
are described in 11:7 (R. V.) as
being “bent on backsliding.”
Israel failed to heed God’s warn-
ing, did not respond to His loving
call, and went on to judgment. May
none of us be so foolish and stub-
born. God is now calling sinners
in love and compassion, doing ev-
erything in His power to lead them
to repentance and spiritual healing.
“Today, if ye will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts” (Ps. 95:7,
8.)
1. God Calling Sinners (6:1,2).
The great loving heart of God
longs after wayward men. Though
they have in deliberate unbelief
turned from Him, yet He sends His
mesesnger to bring them His gra-
cious invitation. No more beautiful
word can be spoken than “Come.”
It speaks of an open door, of a for-
giving spirit, of a desire for renewed
fellowship.
Come, O sinner, and meet the
Saviour. He it is who by both life
and death has revealed the fullness
of God’s love to you. In Him you
will find entrance into eternal life
and joy. He says, “I am the door,
by me if any man enter in he shall
be saved.” (John 10:9.)
Observe also the word “return.”
The invitation from God is not only

to those who have never known Him
but also to the backslider. How
many, miserably unhappy backslid-
den Christians there are in the
world! Friend, if you are one of
them, this invitation is especially for
you!
II. God’s Dealings With Sinners
(6:3-7).
Our Lord is both compassionate
and faithful in His dealings with
sinners. He will win them with love
and tenderness if they permit Him
to do so, but if necessary He can
also use the rod of punishment or
the storm of unpleasant circum-
stances to drive them to Him. Re-
member that both the tenderness
and the severity of God are expres-
sions of His love.
With Israel God wanted to come
as the gentle, reviving rain from
heaven (v. 3) but because of their
unrepentant attitude (v. 4) He had
to come forth as One who hews down
and destroys (v. 5). Even in thus
breaking down and destroying He is
only preparing to rebuild. As the
surgeon must first hurt in) order to
heal, God must sometimes cut deep-
ly in order to remove the blight of
sin.
These lines will probably be read
by many who have wondered at the
dealings of God with them. Perhaps
they have been inclined to condemn
Him as being unkind or severe. Let
them be assured that God is love
and that back of all of His dealings
with men thre is His tender pur-

words of repentance (14:1) God is
ready to meet them and to heal all
of their sins and backslidings. Ob-
serve that not only will He heal their
past sins, but will cause their pres-
ent position to be such that He may
“love them freely” (v. 4), and then
their future will be one of great
glory. God is infinitely gracious
and pours out His love without
measure upon the sinner who re-
turns to Him.
Verses 5 to 8 give a beautiful pic-
ture of God’s blessings on the life of
the regenerated man. The lily (v. 5)
speaks of stately royal beauty.
Death miraculously waits while a physician uses the
latest facilities of medical science to save her life.
Three hours pass by. Then the doctor nods assuringly
to the child’s parents. They have been watching si-
lently with grief. The crisis passes—she will live, he
says.
In sittions similar to this, medicine has cut the
death rate from pneumonia nearly one-half in the
past ten years. Diagnosis today is more certain, de-
termination of types more accurate. Serums and newly
discovered drugs are working miracles on the pneu-
monia Sk-bed, providing they are administered soon
enough.
Encouraging as these inroads against death may
seem, pneumonia is still the greatest killer. Upwards
of 100,000 lives is its annual price in this country. And
each year a lung-sick army of 500,000 recover, unable
to work for weeks or months, or wrecked for longer
by the poisonous results of pleurisy that often follows.
To get a general idea of how efficiently pneumonia
kills, consider that the feverous plague is taking lives
more than twice as fast as the highly efficient weap-
ons of war took the lives of American soldiers in 1918.
Striking without warning in most cases, pneumonia
fatalities last year outnumbered total deaths from
automobile accidents, falls, poisoning, asphixiation and
all other forms of accidental death combined.
This time of year—when winter is giving up its
lease to spring—the thaws and cold rains are accura-
tely described as “bad pneumonia weather.” Weather
and pneumonia have a predictable relationship.
Dr. William DeKleine, national medical adviser
of the American Red Cross, makes the observation that
pneumonia sickness and death can be cut to its low-
est point only when the nation at large, and its indi-
viduals, know something about how to prevent it. He
points out that it is much easier to side-step the dis-
ease than it is to cure it. Briefly, here are Dr. De-
Kleine’s Red Cross rules on pneumonia.
“Like most diseases, pneumonia preys on the weak.
A person with low resistance is a ready candidate.
We must take warning from the first sympthom of a
common cold or other minor respiratory ailments.
These infections work hand in hand with pneumonia,
chiefly by weakening the victim. Intelligent health
habits—especially balanced nutrition, including the so-
called ‘protective’ foods—are our best safeguard.
“Remember that extreme exposure and exhaustion
are also forerunners of pneumonia The body is a deli-
cate mechanism. Under normal conditions, it is strong
and can withstand the assault of many infectious dis-
eases. But when a person has been weakened by ex-
posure his disease-resisting equipment immediately is
handicapped in its ability to fight back.
“Following exposure or one of the minor respira-
tory ailments pneumonia may strike quickly. It comes
on with a sudden chill or fever. Sometimes its warn-
ing takes the form of a pain in the side, or a cough.
Usually there is hurried, labored breathing.
“Watch for these symptoms. Any one, or a com-
bination, may mean pneumonia. Call a doctor at once.
Remember that pneumonia works fast, and that the
physician, as well equipped as he is, must work faster
if he is to check the disease and save a life.
