TWO OF A KIND Rationing: 1943 And 1932 There are millions of peopit in the United States who think that the rationing required by the emergen cies of war is a new experience for the United States. The rationing now going on in this country is regulated by the Govern ment in order that every citizen will get a fair share. Whether gasoline, coffee, sugar, or food, an effort is made to make supplies available for equal distribution to the people of this country. iWalter Locke contrasts the orderly rationing now underway with the great rationing in 1930, 1931 and 1932. There was no order or justice in the rationing of the depression. Part of the population had plenty, another part had enough, but for a third or a half of the population, it was tragic want in the midst of abundant plenty. Rationing today is caused by the war's demands. Most Americans have the money to buy but the supplies are not available. In 1932, there were abundant supplies but suffering Americans had no money with which to buy. The depression rationing put man) people in breadlines, others in shacks, others on the highway and wealth Hen Cropped into poverty Farmers lost their farms, workers their homes and widows and orphans their sus tenance. As Mr. Locke well says, "That was the greatest, harshest rationing in all our history. . Women grew wan and men died, from the strain of it. This little rationing of wartime is noth ing, for, deprivation, to that rationing in tfm of peace." Sir' Locke does not compare 1943 rationing with that of 1932 for fun. He does it n an effort to make peo ple Understand . that the "bitter, bitter, disorderly, rationing" of the de prsfioqi Awas caused by economic in justices, .which led to inflation. the. writer warns that the nation now faces another inflationary threat, as a result of the demands of various blocs, and he hopes that the people will understand what will happen if another orgy of inflation produces "rationing" in the future. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON PETER AND JOHN WITNESS CHRIST'S GLORY International Sunday School Lesson for April 11, 1443. GOLDEN TEXT:" There came a voice out of the cloud, 'T'nis is my beloved Son; hear ye him'." Mark 9:7. (Lesson Text: Mark 9:2-8; II Peter 1:16-18). Rommel's Dust The dust kicked up by Rommel's runners is not the only cloud rising over Axis prospects out of the Tunis ian campaign. Things are going so well for the United Nations in that campaign that the British Prime Minister feels called upon to warn us against over optimism, and from many sources come reports that point up the significance of events in Africa. Their gist is European in vasion. They may be premature. Unless the Americans can cut off Rommel's retreat before he joins forces with General von Armin a for midable concentration of defensive powers will await the United Nations in northern Tunisia. Bizerte and Tunis are strongly fortified, and the former may stand a considerable seige. Still there seems little doubt that the capture of the port city Sousse will soon take place. From here United Nations air power and subma rines can more effectively harry Axis sea routes and the fortified cities farther north. Rommel is losing air fields and seaports as he retreats. Then, too, the order for a shift of aerial strategy by United Nations' fliers reflects a wide margin of su periority over Axis air power through out . this region. United Nations' planes, it is reported, will now con centrate smashing might on the Axis fronts lines, instead of specializing, as hitherto, on behind-the-lines in stallations and routes. Reports of naval shelling 'of Rommel's forces in their narrow corridor near the sea suggests that his plight may yet be worsened by British landings in the Nazi rear. How much longer Rommel can post pone final United Nations plans for invasion of Europe is a question. Mr. Churchill's warning should help us to avoid that disillusionment which a- A fw davs after Peter's great confession Jesus withdrew from the multitude which usually surrounded him and. takine with him Peter, James and John, sought seclusion for meditation on a high mountain, later identified as Mt. Hermon. Here oc curred his transfiguration. Jesus exnenenced a unique spirit ual blessing, probably an encourage ment for him, to sustain him during the persecution and suffering which he would soon undergo. The three chosen disciples recognized the pres ence, of Moses and Elijah, two great Old Testament leaders, out wnai im pressed them more was the striking change in the appearance of Jesus himself. His face and body testified to the great spiritual emotion which had Dossessed him. The disciples heard a voice out of the cloud testi fying to the divinity of Jesus and ad monishing them to hear him. "Communion with God issues ever transfigured life," says the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan. "It was when Christ was praying that he was trans figured. When the disciples pray as he prayer, they also will be trans figured as he was transfigured. This will not be until salvation is com pleted. While there lurk within rises when uninformed enthusiasm carries us too far ahead of actuali ties. But the prospect of a juncture between American and British troops along that coastline facing the under side of Europe makes it very difficult to refrain from thinking about what comes after Africa. The Christian Science Monitor. possibilities of unbelief, fellowship is not perfected, and final transfigura tion cannot be. And yet, the measure of fellowship is the measure of trans figuration, even here and now. How often, even amid the shadows of the little while, the faces of the saints are seen lit with the light of the in ward glory. Those who, indeed, would shine amid the darkness of the world, must be transformed end tans figured by union with God. May the communion of the saints with the Son be such, that, in some measure, upon all of them may rest the light and glory of the holy mount" It might be well foi- us to remem ber, as Henry Drummond says, that "God does not make the mountain tops to be inhabited; they are not for the homes of men. We ascend the heights to catch a broader vision of our earthly surroundings, but we do not tarry there. The streams take their rise in the uplands, but quickly descend to gladden the fields and valleys below. We are to descend from the mount of privilege to a commonplace life to our farms, our factories, our studies. This is not a downfall. Let life hold the true meaning, and all becomes sacred." Upon the mountain top, Peter and James and John learned a lesson about prayer. They discovered that prayer can change surroundings. The prayer of an ever-praying Jesus had transformed the dull, dark spot on which they slept into a fairyland. The clothes which Jesus was wearing were transformed and even the face of their Master and Teacher "shone" with a new radiance. Prayer changes things. Yes, prayer changes things. It changes personality. The disciples had been with Jesus now for almost three years and they thought they knew him well, but they discovered as he prayer, something they had never seen in him before a glory, a beauty they had not suspected. Pray er had thrust aside, as it were, a veil and let Christ's glory through. Prayer can do as much for you. No one can pray constantly without showing the effects of it in face and PLAY BALL Come on, kids! It's time to play that grand ole game of baseball.

While the reaction of Peter to the marvelous and awe-inspinng scene he had witnessed was rather foolish, it showed that he was human and had been deeply impressed by what he had experiestfed. When Peter had grown old he recorded in the letter which we call Second Peter his re membrance of the wonderful scene an the mount which three writers of the Gospels all record. Through all the burdened years, through which he had faithfully pro claimed the gospel of his Lord and Master, he had not forgotten that voice which "we ourselves heard out of heaven, and when with him in the holy mount," declaring Jesus to be the iSon of God. This vision of the glory of Jesus remained with Peter all through his life, inspiring him in his life of service.
