Life's I exations
Life is a tender thing and is
easily molested. There is always
something that goes amiss. Vain
vexations ? vain sometimes, but
always vexations. The smallest
and slightest impediments are the
most piercing: and as little letters
most tire th?* eyes, so do little af
fairs most disturb us. ? Montaigne.

U. S. MOUNTAIN WARFARE
The army is buying pitons, kara
Diners, ice axes, skis, sleeping bags
and parkas, to be used not in an
expedition to the North pole but in
preparation for warfare on snow
clad mountain sides.
If you ask what mountain sides
the reply is: "We are preparing for
any emergency " Army chiefs have
carefully noted ?hat has been
done in Europe in mountain and win
ter warfare, and they intend that
U. S. troops be trained in the same
tactics
Today, in the Railroad Retire
ment building (headquarters of the
quartermaster corps) you can find
a group of men known as "the Cold
Climate Clothing and Equipment
unit." They are ski experts and
mountain climbers, who know by
rigorous experience what is needed
for life in the cold latitudes and
high altitudes.
They are Sestor Robinson of the
Naticns! Ski association , Robert II.
Bates, editor of "Five Miles High";
and William House, a famed climb
cr and explorer. Working indoors
ten hours a day, they are preparing
specifications for the best military
skis, the best goggles, boots, and
high-pressure stoves that can be
carried in a knapsack.
Note: Germany's expert in moun
tain warfare, Paul Bauer, carried
out his last peacetime mountain
climbing exploit in the Nanga Par
bat expedition in India in 1938 ? with
the consent and co-operation of the
British government.

MRS. WOODROW WILSON
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson sewed for
soldiers 25 years ago, and now she's
doing it again.
Every Wednesday morning, she
meets at the swank Sulgrave Club
for Red Cross sewing with Mrs.
Jesse Jones, and Mrs. D. Bu
chanan Merriman, better known as
the duchess of Windsor's "Aunt Bes
sie."
After the sewing, they lunch at the
club, then adjourn to Mrs. Jesse
Jones' apartment at the Shoreham
hotel, or to Mrs, Wilson's home on
S street, for bridge.
The lady who, as "the beautiful
widow Gait," set all the town talk
ing during World War I, still sets
the town talking wherever she ap
pears today. She gives her name
freely to Democratic party and pa
triotic causes, but her most regular
activity is providing floral decora
tions for the Wilson shrine at the
National Cathedral. She has made ,
a study of floral arrangements, per- :
sonally supervises the decoration ev
ery few days.
Measured by the code of the cave
dwellers, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is
an active woman, but she stares in
amazement at the activity of the I
First Lady of World War II.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
If there is an investigation of the
sugar shortage, certain agriculture
department masterminds will have
to do a lot of explaining.
Few know that these master
minds, over the protests of domestic
beet - sugar producers, last year
forced a reduction of sugar-beet
acreage of from 17 to 20 per cent;
also that cane which would have
yielded 300,000 tons of sugar was
left to rot in Puerto Rican fields
because proc-^inp was prohibited.
Sugar producers on the other
hand, vigorously urged that domes
tic quotas be lifted to permit maxi
mum output. But the agriculture
moguls refused to heed these warn
ings. Led by Secretary Claude
Wickard, they insisted the United
States had ample sugar supplies for
all needs ? and they kept on chorus
ing 'this refrain right up to a few
weeks ago when Wickard, as a guest
speaker on Mrs. Roosevelt's Sunday
night radio program, completely
changed his tune and broke the
news that sugar would have to be
i rationed.
Wickard bases the shortage on
two grounds: (1) heavy demands
from our Allies, particularly Russia,
whose sugar producing region has
been devastated by the Nazis; (2)
greatly reduced imports from the
Philippines and Hawaii.
I The Philippines are out. but not
! Hawaii. Large munition? shipments
are constantly going tc these islands,
and sugar is coming back.
Agriculture department tycoons
are making a big ado about how es
sential their activities are to the war
effort. One essential might be less
bungling in unrestricting farm pro
duction.
Note: Puerto Rico now has on
hand, and waiting to be ground,
more su>;ar-cane than it is allowed
to process under the production quo
te, set by the agriculture depart
i ment.

THE MIGHTY WORKS OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT? Matthew t:23-3?.
GOLDEN TEXT ? What rraniwr of man Is
this, that even the winds and the sea obey
him!- Matthew 8 : Z7
The mighty works of Jesus de
clared Hint to be the Son of God ?
yes, very God Himself. Unbeliev
ing men who ^cu'.d iliuniii ihe
Word of God and deny the Godhood
of the Son are at much labor and
trouble to explain away the mira
cles, but without any success.
In our lesson for today we have
Christ showing His divine power
over the forces of nature, and over
the demons of the evil spirit world.
We find the disciples in the storm ?
I. Fearful ? but Not in Danger (vv.
23-27).
The Son of God ? who had become !
Son of man ? showed His true hu- :
manity by that weariness which !
made Him sleep through a tempes- '
tuous storm such as often came '
upon Lake Galilee. "Like a general !
in time of war Jesus slept when He ;
could."
As He caimiy sicpt, tear of de
struction laid its deadly grip upon
the hearts of the disciples. For the
moment they saw only the angry
waves, the smallness of their craft,
the hopelessness of their situation,
apparently forgetting that with
Christ in the boat they were in no
danger, in spite of the Tearfulness
of their surroundings and circum
stances.
Is this not clearly a lesson for
us in this day so full of alarms and
fears? If we think of circumstances
and conditions round about us we
shall be overcome with fear ? and
well we may, if we da not have
Christ with us in the boat of life.
But if He is there ? if we are His
in the kinship of regenerating grace
?we are in no danger. Shall we
not accept the tender rebuke, "Why
are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"
The majestic scene of Christ still
ing the tempest, reminds us not
only that He can control any force
of nature, but also that there is no
storm of heart or mind or life to
which He cannot authoritatively
say, "Peace, be still" (Mark 4:39).
Will you trust Him with your prob
lem?
On the other side of the lake
Christ met another kind of need ?
and cared for i*.. He there deliv
ered two men who were ?
II. Demon-dominated, but Not
Hopeless (vv. 28-34).
There is only one devil, but he
has many demons who do his bid
ding. The evidence is clear that
these demons were able to enter
into the personality of a human be
ing and take control of the life.
This was not insanity or a sickness
of the body, but devil domination.
These two men (Mark and Luke
speak only of one ? perhaps the more
violent of the two) were so strong
and wicked because of the demon
in them, that their relatives and
friends had given them up as hope
less and had sent them out to live in
the wilderness.
How horrible is the power of the
devil in the life of any man or wom
an. But let us never forget that
while no man can control such a sit
uation (Mark 5:4), God is able.
"With God all things are possible"
(Matt. 19:26). We have not done all
we can for our devil dominated
friends and relatives until we have
brought them to Jesus.
Notice that the demons recognized
Christ as the Son of God (v. 29).
They knew that He had the power
to control them and that the day
was to come when He would judge
them.
The men were completely cured
(Mark 5:15) as the demons were
permitted to enter the herd of
swine. Those poor beasts, appar
ently not content to harbor the evil
spirits, cast themselves into the sea.
When the people of the land heard
what had taken place they asked '
Jesus to leave. They evidently
weighed the relative value of two |
men in their right mind over against J
a herd of swine and decided that |
they could not afford to have men
delivered from the devil at such
expense.
Uiffortunately the "descendants"
of those people seem to be in some
of our churches today. They can
afford anything in the way of lux
ury for themselves, but they arc
sure it costs too much to keep the
church open ? or to provide a
prcacher? or suitable equipment for
the Lord's work. How unspeakably
