Hie Turning Leaves
The greatest show on earth, in
our humble opinion, is now under
way.' Although we .do. not fancy
ourselves as a highbrow, a poet, or
even a sophisticated hombre, we
nevertheless admire each year,
new, the wonders of Fall.
la the Northern regions of the
country, and' in mountainous reg
ions the first days of September
turned leaves yellow, rust or gold,
and with the red and brown that
is common among the hardwoods,
the woods become a panorama of
color. . !
It Would seem that this would be
enough to inmrra almost nny im
- man being with the fact that there
is a power greater than man. Fall
1 seems to signify the end of life,
and the turning of the leaves ac-
til alltr a 4 Via divin tr nf thaoA laa naa
the exact opposite of the rich
. Spring green, and its exuberant
green foliage.
As Fall wears on and the leaves
come down, the outline of trees,
limbs and entire forest becomes
: clear. The nights are cool, fog ap
pears often in the early morning,
the stars seem to gleam a little
brighter and the air 'is crisp.
Even the mind seems, to say
something to Full. Perhaps it

cold of Winter, or perhaps it is
' the fact that the leaves no longer
, break the sweep of the wind.
'. Whatever it is, the Fall the most
nostalgic of seasons brings a"" bril
liant array of color, thoughts and
most important thought.
We suggest to all of our readers
that they get out into the country
side in Fall and, if possible, walk
through the woods to enjoy the l
sight Not only will it be good
physical therapy, but it is wonder-.
ful mental therapy, as well.
personic f ighter, was" released over
I California at 30,000 feet. The X-2
had been carried to this height by
a large B-50 bomber and Captain
Apt took over at that altitude.
' The X-2 had already ohalkeri, up
some sensational . speed records,
and was perhaps the most breath
taking of the new fighter models
being tested by the Air Force. It
was Captain Apt's first, flight in
the -rocket-powered aircraft and it
turned out to be his last.
. Less than" two minutes from the
moment he detached himself from
the B-50 bomber, his supersonic
experimental fighter shot into the
earth five miles from Edwards Air
Force Base, where Mrs, Apt await
ed news.
- The interesting thing about this
flight wps that Apt was 1 doing
what several pilots before him had
done testing an aircraft which
was, designed to defeat the heat
barrier which is a point at which
friction, caused by; high speeds,
seems to weaken metal.
An investigation . is underway
now to determine the cause of the
crash, but since the X-2 was 'the
only aircraft of its kind, the 'exami
nation might be lengthy and results
inconclusive.
. The crash is a tragedy, but one
in a series which has continued ever
since man probed the unknown of
the sky. It will be remembered
that pilots lost their Jives attempt
ing to break the sound .barrier.
NoV it is the heat barrier. This
claimed the life of Captain Apt.
While' these men may not ' be
fully appreciated by all Americans,
the work they do and the pioneer
ing flying research they perform is
vita to the security of the Unit
ed States, in helping us retain
qualitative air superiority. .'.There
fore, they .die as national heroes
and their efforts should not go un
appreciated, or unrewarded.
Consult -thy everyday life; take
its answer as to thy aims, motives,
fondest purposes and this oracle of
years will put to flight all care for
thf world's soft flattery-or its
frown. Mary Baker Eddy1

DEALER'S FRANCHISE, JO. 167S
. The second great passage" se
lected for our -consideration is ihe
code of spiritual and ethical laws,
which we Jcnow, of as "The en
Commandments er The Decalogue."
Judged by their influence on. civil
affairs alone, these, laws wouli
rank 'among -the 'great influences
on society throughout the ages and,
add to tha.t, their spiritual and re
llgious influence, oite can readily
understand why the Ten Command
ers were selected as the second
great, passage' for this unit -of
j study. . , f .
You will remember that, jn .the
third montn after leaving Egypt
the children of Israel reached Git.
Sinai, a peak about 7,500 feet high.
Here the people were charged to
keep a reverent distance while Mos
es and Aaron went up-onhe Moun
tain to commune with God. Mos
es received the. Decalogua.--"the
Ten Words" familiarly .known as
the Ten Commandments. '
' Concerning these commandments,
a noted scholar says: .- "The in
comparable value of the Decalogue
consists in the fact that, in its im
pressive brevity, it constitutes the
most venerable witness we possess
to the imperishableness of moral
principles. To attempt to improve
upon it would be a crime against
the spirit of .history; to seek to
imitate it with a decalogue of mod
ern conception, a tooiisn .enter
prise, indeed.. The. religious teach
er may interpret it for our ttnie,
as Luther for his, but as to the
document itself hands off!"
The First Commandment empha
sizes the obligation of the Hebrews
to Jehovah, for deliverance vut of
Egypt and demands' entire loyalty.
This ' commandment : forbids the
worships carrying with' it the re
minder that sin persists through
generations. "This edict is sup
ported by a great physical law,"
says Dr. S. Parks Cadman,' "which
proves that nature is the friend
of righteous living -and the foe of
its ' -opposite. Vice shortens life,
weakens posterity and pollutes its
blood. Virtue lengthens life and
invigorates posterity, insuring its
bodily health and, intellectual
strength." - ,
' The Third Commandment eon-
cerns reverence for the divine per
sonality' God's name must not .be
used carelessly or lightly. "Of all
the raw, senseless, useless habits
into which empty-headed, empty
hearted men fall," says Charles R
Brown, "profane swearing has tho
least to say for itself ; . . The man
who feels that his natural speech
is so weak and futile that he must
try to bolster" it up by interlard
ing it with those sacred nanjes is
nn object -of pity, as well as oc&n
of disgust." f
The Fourth Commandment con
cerns the proper observance of the
Sabbath Day.; J' Apparently today
we run the .danger of forgetting
that the Sabbath was made to re
fresh our souls as well 'as our bod
ies," says Henry Strong Hunting
ton. "Yet more serious, we often
forget the other man's .right to it.
The Fifth Commandment, enjoin
ing love and respect for parents,
is appropos 'today. While there are
extreme cases of parents unworthy
of the obedience" and affection -of
their children, in the great majori
ty of cases this is not true. The
world, as a whole, would be better
off if more -veneration and respsct
were accorded .those, who' by rea
son of age and love for- their off
spring, seek to guide them proper
ly. : The Sixth Commandment forbids
the improper taking of human life.
The English Revised Version beans
lates it, "Thou shalt 'do not mur
der." It ay e that self-defense
justifies a man'd dsing this, extreme
protection, but there are few cases
of killing where thesuryivor does
not look back to some act, in the
progress -of a .quarrel, which he
knows if he had npt done, results
might have been different' : : i
" The Seventh Cofnmfendment en
joins -personal .purity in Jife. - "If
you are guilty of this sin (adul
tery).," . Dwiht L. Moody once

Maybe they were slow in dressing ; . . probably
they dawdled bit over breakfast . . , but if you
know the gait of those little legs you can be
sure- they won't be late.. -
This is o'ne of the fascinating paradoxes of ,
youth. - A child -may lhave to be prodded to get to
school on tirrte yet he doesn't want to be late I
And the paradox has implication for parents
as they plan "the religious .education of their
children. Jimmy may seem reluctant about his ,
first trip to Church School . . . and Susan may
shed a tear when Mother "leaves" her in. the
Beginners' Department. But wise parents never
delay their youngsters religious training. It is
unfair to handicap a child with a late start in the
vital process of moral and spiritual growth.
' Inquire at the church of your choice, and bring
your child to jChurch School as soon as he is .
of age.
And, remember, parents Iheed religious train
ing too t If you do not now attend Church regu
larly, start with Jimmy and Susan. :
