WITH WILLIAM STRUDWIOK It ia good for ,“r citiicns n general, and Negrcee in particu- ]ar, to:bear in mind, that the conte*t.'between RooseveK and WUlkie is net one of sin and evil, of right and wrc/ae, and ck heathenism and crviH«atk>n. ter alli the deciMTe influence whi* shall save dcfitroy our nation, is not ^ «:«sevelt or - WHlkie; the future of this epun-1 conqueronr NeUwn, Crom- try is in the keeping of the P^-1 the Better Oleg is JW>, pie. As long as the ac«l o t e Gone forever are those people. Is saved, the nation s s,nobbish triunnph and safe; .when the people lope their j^aybe, never to re- souls, the nation us Icet. So then, in the final analysis, it is the ^jjg Conqueror have the ••••••«!•••« I “And I shall lift my eyes to jthe hills” as a far cry from the ■‘^jshc.Tes of Great Britain today. iHie romantic clash of the bay onet is an antitpie memory. The ilffajesty o^ the flag unfurled un- p€»’’le and not the president that will determine our immediate and ultimaite future. For’ many moirtha, since .r.y return fxtonf Europe, I have Ven pointing ^ut the dangerous turn of events wMch n»«y jeiTpardize democrmcy, temporarily at learnt. I have imMed that a democracy ca» hiirdJy compete witk- a dicta- torahip. In spite of my avowed and inveteimte preference for deffiKymlcy, I aee it threatened by forces that will noit down.

At Port Bragg last week some 2060 brown soldiers suffered and were restricted it seems because of a mistakn dndentification.

If w« accept Him and follow In Hia footatapa. living as Ha lived, aa wtil aa wa. in our human frailnasa can, wno aurely will have Ufa moat abun* dant. Thia whole chapter of St. Luka tells us how He Uved, going about healing thoaa who wera aiok ia body, raising a man teem tha dead and returning him to hia mother’s arms; forgiving thoaa who had sinned because they ra« pented and beUeved in Him. In last week’a teason wa 1^ Him surrounded by a multitude and telling them the rules at the abundant life, such aa doing to othen as they would be done by; loving their enemies and doing good to them, etc. Whan Ha Md finished thia talk. He went to the town of Capernaum at the north and of tha Sea of OallUee. Thara amie Jewish elden came to Him. having been aent by a Certain cen* turion (a Roman aoldier) because a servant whom he loved waa des perately in^ and he wanted Jesus to make him well. The elders told Jesus that the centurion waa a worthy man, showing hia Uking for the Jews by building them a synagogue. ‘ ’ Jesus went with thefti. liut wain they neared tha houss, they were met by friends of the centurion who had been sent with a message / to the Master. The centurion, they said, did not feel he waa worthy to receive Jesus in his house or to come to Him. But he beUeved that if Jesus would but say toe word, his servant would be healed. He reminded Jesua that ha, too, was a leader able to command and be obeyed. JesM Marvela at Faith Here was a Roman, one who had never seat Jesus, but who had more faith than His own people. Jesus marv^ed at him and. tui»« ing to Hia fpUowers, He sai4: "I say unto you, t have not found ko great faith, no, not in Israd." The friends, returning to the house, found the servant healed. Soon after this Jesus weht to the town of Nain, 25 miles from Capernaum, and as• they neared' the city gatM, a funeral proces* Sion met them. A poor widow had lost her cmly son by death, and her friend* were with her, trying to console her. Jesus must have been filled with pity, and He said to her, "Weep not.” He came near er and touched the bier on which the young man waa laid and said, “Yoimg man, 1 say unto thee. Arise.” And the youth who was dead sat up and begun to speak,, and Jesus gftve him to his mother. The pec^le wfsq saw the mlraele were almc^ frigihtened, but they glorified Ood «j;d said that God ^ad vlsttad Ri« * ItiMa things were told ap through the countr^de and Ik ina whisp««d about that her* WM a trcat pro* phet.
