Hie European war cloud basing been <iis peUcd. at Kraut for the time being, government officials are turning uieir attention to domestic peace. Peaco Petwe-.u capital and labor, particularly ye ace between the administration and business. are tlx; themes of the moment. There is great apparent effort being made by the President's intimates and spokesmen to make personal political capital for Mr. Roosevelt out of the fact that he sent two personal rvesaages to Adctf Hitler urging the Relchafuortirer to oettle the Czechoslovakian dispute by conference ami not by force. Particularly do those who seek to impute great credit tc Mr. Roosevelt 3tress the fact that he cabled to Mussolini, urging the Italian premier to join in the MXintch confer ence as a conciliator. Mussolini dicl receive Mr. Roosevelt's p3ea. he did telephone to JFIiUer, and he did sit in at Munich. The difficulty with trying* to make Mr. Roosevelt the hero of the Czech settlement on that ground Is that Mr Chamberlain, tlie British premier, and M. Daladier, the head of the Kjrench government, had already telephoned their invitations ho Mussolini /before the Italian Ducc heard from "Mr. Roosevelt. Many of the President's personal i supporters, however, think their best policy is to make as much capital for their chief ur TK>ssfble out of the j favorable cosrament which, iiis direct appeal to ICitier evoked ail over the i world. It was praised in their rc- j spec live parliaments by Mr. Cham-1 bcrla and M. Daladier. It drew uii- j stinting- approval from Mr. Roosevelt's predecessor; Herbert Hoover, in a public speech. On the theory that the President's action was the decisive turning point in the international dispute about Czechoslovakia, ardent New Deal enthusiasts are pu?ti:.g forward the slogan.

Talk on Pctic? Peace was the theme of an in-: spired talk to newspaper men at j Hyde Park, the President's country! home, by an uu*uairuxl "White j House spokesman." This was at; \n? novation for the present administra i tiOG. | "When Ca.lvir. Coolidjge was Presi- i . dent he used to tell newspaper men , i thirty for which he did not want to | take personal responsibility, and say I that they could use them as coming j frcr.i '*A spokesman for the White House." The subterfuge fooled no-J j body but sometimes 'saved face" for; ! Mr. Cooiidge and always gave him a | i chance to deny that lie had ever saki >anything of the .sort. The "White House spokesman" was thought to be dead and buried until he was resurrected a couple of weeks ago to tell the world that the administration ardently desired peace f between capita! and industry and the | government. The "spokesman" thought tliat ; couid be brought about th*- way peace j in Europe was brought about, if only 1 ; industry would stop ''rattling the j | sabers'' and sit down at the confer- j ; ence tabic with government. To which Charles Kook. president ? of the National Association of Manu- i fact wens, replied that .so fur as j ui vvx'vci '.icvi 5'.' v i ??- ; | ir.ent has done more of it than in- ! clustry. and that the Uungs business most earnestly desires are. exactly what government desires better business, more security for wageearner, peace with organized labor.j aiki, most of all. -peace between busi- I ness ami government. | New Step Uncertain Just what the next stop will be ! toward greater co-operation for in - j dustrial and economic peace it is dif ; ficuit to estimate; but regardless <)f j internal friction, the e durance that i there will be no immediate European j war has proved a stimulant to busi- j ness confidence, evidenced b.v a sharp rise in security prices on the stock exchange which some observers he." hail as tht: beginning of a general rise in prices of all commodities and which others deplore as a possible herald of a speculative boom. Another international problem to which the administration is giving attention and consulting with other nations is that of the great numbers of Jewish refugees who are being forced out of Germany. Austria ind Italy and have no place to go. Quota limits under our immigration laws have room for only a small percentage of them to be admitted to the United States, and there is little likelihood of congressional action to increase the quotas, which are, moreover, 011 a national and not a racial basis. Problem of Refugees The solution which Is being considered, and which has been submitted to the British government as well as to ours, is thai of inii^ino- Ml-. J three Guianas. the British, French j and Dutch colonies on the northeast Erg coast of South America, into an | independent Jewish nation. It would have many advantages j over Palestine, where there not only is not room enough for all the Jews who wish to go there, but there are ; few natural resources. The Guianas are fertile, undeveloped, believed to contain much mineral wealth and oil. The scheme, put forward by responsible leaders, is for the United States to sponsor and assist in the establishment of the new Jewish state, by cancelling the war debts of Great Britain and France in exchange for trade concessions and as a contribution to the solution of the l-efugee problem, to wnich Britain and France would contribute by ceding their entire Guiana colonies. At first glance the scheme sounds fantastic, but it is being given serious consideration here. The ancients believed the emerald benefited the eyes and the amethyst prevented drunkenness.

GOKD?N TEXT?Remember the Sabbath | day. to wep it holy.?ExodwS 20".P. Rest?hew full of meaning that i little word is when we recall that it means quiet for the struggling \' one. cairn for the troubled, repose : for the weary, tranquillity for the | disturbed, cessation of labor for the j worn-out one. God u\ His infinite j wisdom saw that without rest man I would soon destroy himself, and He | j made provision for one day in sevc-n i when labor should cease and mar. should be free for that re-creation jj of soul and body wiuch should lit him for the labor of the week. Men in their greed have coveted the time I God gave for rest and have used it fcr themselves, ar.d the ragged j nerves and broken bodies, to say nothing of the impoverished spirits of out day, testify that it can be done only at our peri!. Our study centers around Scrip- i ture passages which have to do with , the Jewish Sabbath, but since it was ! essentially a day of rest, and afford- j ed an opportunity for the worship | of God, the principles surrounding it are applicable to oar day of rest? the first day ot the week, the Lord's ' L>av. I. VVhv tie Ivecp a Day ol ISest (Exod. 21:8-11). 1. God comma::.led that there should be a uay n; rest?one out of seven?ar.d that should be sufficient j to cause His people to "remember" the day "to keep it holy " It is cause lor grave concern that Sunday has become : day of swimming, hiking, auto-driving, golfing, ar.d one might go on with 'he list almost indefinitely Mary men or women who have had built into their own I characters the stalwart virtues nurtured by faniilv attendance at the house of God. iiave not only forgotten their own need and responsibility but are destroying every vestige of interest in divine worship in the hearts of their children. It is serious business to go astray oneself. but infinitely more serious to mislead one's own children. Notice that the day of rest was to be not only for the family but j also for servants and for visitors, j The employer who operates his factory or office on Sunday violates mis commandment. Note also that i the man who is to rest on the seventh day is supposed to work on the six days. Some folk neglect to do both. 2. God s command is strengthened by the divine example {v. 11). We are not able to do all things that j God does, but here we are privt- j leged to follow His example. I II. How We Keep the Day of Rest (Luke 13:10-17). The incident recorded oy Luke does not give us on exhaustive list of things to be done with our day of rest, but it is interesting to note that our Lord was 1. In the house of God tv. 10). Jesus was in the synagogue. The distinguished Apostie Paul never became too great or too good to attend divine worship We all need to go to church (if it is at all possible for us to do so) to fellowship with others in the things of Christ. Let us have a revival of church attendance. and not only on Sunday mornings, but also on Sunday night and for midweek prayer meeting. 2. Alert to the needs of others (vv. 11, 12) It is not indicated that the woman asked to be healed. Jesus i i saw her need and met it. We can not do what he did, but there are needs that we can meet if we are but alert to see them and willing to help. ! 3. Active in service (v. 13). In \ spite of the criticism which He knew would come from the lazy and helpless standers-by. Jesus did the work of God. We may glorify God by being ready?yes anxious?tc serve in the church. Our daily work is set aside on the Lord's Dav not that we should be indolent, at that we should be free to do the Lord's work. 4. Contending for the faith (vv. ! 14-17). Jesus met the unjust criticism (which, by the way, was leveled at the poor woman because the critic feared Jesus) by a masterly appeal to the law of the Pharisees (w. 15, 16) But He did more than that, for He ably defended the rights of humanity as superior to the formalities of man-made law. rhe law is always supreme until Ihe Lawgiver comes, and no law can hinder Him by its letter, as He fulfills its spirit. We may not speak as Jesus did, that is to declare what the law is, but we may in His name, and by His grace and power declare the full counsel of God, defend it against its critics and withstand those who while bearing the name of Christian leaders only hinder the work of Christ (compare III John 9, 10). For such service we need His guidance, His wisdom, His power, and His grace. The Wise Man TWii^ W4CA ITtif. ' I ?""""
