SIX-INCH SERMON REV. ROBERT H. HARPER TREASURES OF THE KINGDOM Lesson for Feb. 18: Matthew 13:44 46: 14:13-21: Memory Verse. James 1:27. The parables tell of treasures got by two men?men unlike in one re spect and similar in others. The first found a hidden treasure, the second was seeking the goodly pearl ?each recognized the treasure's val lue and possessed it. Some are con verted bv gracious chance, as when a page of the New Testament flut tered from a train window awaken ed a Mexican. Some are long and earnest seekers. But all awakened men recognize the great value of the treasure and set it above all other values. The lesson's second part shows Jesus meeting needs of the multi tude seeking Him for treasures of health and soul. The occasion should give wholesome hints to those who are concerned in helping their fellows. If you are concerned for others, behold the multitude in need today. If you would serve, do not ever say, "Let us call it a day," even as the disciples said, "The time is now past." Offer no excuse, pleading how little you have, when Jesus bids you serve. If you do offer excuse, you will disclose that the little is in you. And do not refuse to bring i what you have. to. ?lesus when you hear the voice that stilled the waves of Galilee and called the dead to ? life. And remember the untold po?8(-1 bilities in what you may bring to! the Lord. See how He fed a multi tude with five loaves and two fishes. The value of a thing depends upon what is done with it. There is a vast difference between things i consecrated to the Master's use and other things. Do, give and be what - you can; God will give t^" increase ?blessing others above all you can imagine, and returning a thousand fold upon your own head. Berlin Reported in State of Siege; Suburbs Cleared London, Feb. 11?The Moscow radio said today that a state of siege had been decreed in Berlin and that Adolf Hitler had ordered the city defended to the last, "even if it should be completely destroy-' ed." Berlin's eastern suburbs were re- < ported cleared of civilians as the Nazis turned homes into pillboxes and mined the streets, creating a j first line of defense against Soviet spearheads thrusting in from points only 31 miles to the east. Moscow's reports of a state of| siege were not confirmed elsewhere. The Russian reports said that 155 SS divisions under Gen. Sepp i Dietrich, named commandant of the I "fortress of Berlin," were massed in the capital for a last-ditch defense. I Reserve formations of the gestapo i and Nazi officials were being called up for duty, Moscow said. The So viet broadcast named the eastern suburbs of Mahlsdorf, Erkner and i "others," as having been cleared ofj civilians. Several hundred thou- j sand persons were reported trans- j forming the suburbs into a huge i fortified area. 1934 CALENDAR WILL DO IF YOU HAVEN'T A 1945 Wooster. Ohio?Dr. B. F. Yanney, emeritus professor of mathematics and astronomer at the College of Wooster, has a solution for persons who find 1945 calendars unavailable because of the current paper short age Anyone unable to locate 1945 cal endars, Dr. Yanney said, should try to locate a 1934 calendar instead. Dr. Yanney explained that the 1934 calendar is exactly the same as the 1945 model, with one exception. Most states now observe Thanks giving as the fourth Thursday in November, while in 1934 Thanks giving was celebrated on the fifth Thursday, he pointed out. Relaxation of blackout restrictions left British textile manufacturers with large stocks of blackout mate rial, and they are seeking various ways to dispose of it. Allied Guns Rip Nazi Towns Apart In Unrivaled Fashion On the Outskirts of Kleve, Feb. i 11?Field Marshal Montgomery's | massed guns are systematically rip ping German towns and villages to I I tatteri on a scale unrivaled in mor' than five years of war in Europe. Sloshing along roads axile deep in mud, Roger D. Grttne, of the Associated Press, traveled by jeep today through the outer defenses of _ the Siegfried line to a high forest I ridge overlooking Kleve?home of Henry VII's wife, Anne of Cleves. For mile after mile I saw a pano rama of destruction that exceeded i even the hard-hit villages of Nor j mandy. "If this is Germany they can have it after we take it,'' said Gunner Bill Milner of Sackville, N. B.. as we stood in the debris-choked vil lage of Nuetterden. just outside | Kleve. i Every house, shop and building in ; Wyler, Kranenburg and Butterden along the route to Kleve bore gaping holes. Slate tile roofs which had not j been actually blown off by the mass- < ed artillery barrage that was the prelude to this offensive showed skeleton ribs to the sky. Window thuVers and doors had been torn l'O'.n their hinges. \t Nuetterden. a British colonel snowed me through a big green camouflaged bunker, part of the Siegfried line, buried under sod-A den earth. It had a roof of con-7 crete nine feet thick. "This could have made trouble1 for us if the Boche had tried to defend it." the colonel said, "but he didn't." For 15 miles Delore reaching the front we dodged in and out of end less columns of tanks, trucks and troop carriers moving forward. North of the main Nijmegen-1 Kleve road, a series of smokepots j lifted a white billowing screen for many miles along the Rhine to hide allied movements from enemy gun- [ ners a few thousand yards away. | North of the road, daredevil Can adian troops in armored amphibious i carriers called Buffalos went from | island to island rising above the flood waters, storming and captur ing enemy strongolds imperiling the line of advance. On land British troops in deep | muc1 and picking their way through ; der.i,e minefields under the eerie j glow^if artificial moonlight fought their way through the first belt of the Siegfried line in less than five hours. GOVERNOR URGES WOMEN TO ENTER ARMY SERVICE In aii open letter to the women ol No:In Carolina, Governor Cherry urged '..'e enlistment of 105 eligible women to serve in Women's Army Corps general hospital companies. His appeal supplemented that of Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief ot staff, for immediate enlistment to meet urgent needs at hospitals in the south, where the women would be stationed. The governor said each company would be assigned to have charge of one thousand beds "on which lie our beloved wounded." "We cannot fail in this critical battle of America assignment, for in these final stages of total war, ev ery individual must devote every ef fort to the winning of the victory . . the return of our soldiers ... to the best care of our wounded in the long years ahead."
