It mentions three women who be lieved in the Lord hnd mlni»- tered to Him. Mary Magdalene had been cured of evil spirits by HUn; Joanna was the wife of Chuz&s, steward or chamberlain of Herod Antlpas, and Susanna, who is not mentioned anywhere else In the New Testament. All three were faithful followers who aided the Lord In His great work. A great multlt^ was follow ing Jesus, and lfr«told them a parable of a sower who scattered grain. Some of the grains fell on to hard, barren ground, and almost at once birds flew down ipid ate them for food; others fell on stony ground that gave no moisture, and when the seeds came up they quickly withered. Still others fell In ground that allowed them to sprout and grow, but thorns grew thtoi end picked the good grain. Othm fell into good ground and grew up and made a good har vest. As He told the parable He cried, "He that hath ears to hear, let blm bear.” m* disciples wanted to know the mMuilng of this parable, and Jesus explained that ^e seed was the word of Ood whldi was heard by msny peopte. Some hearts were bard and the word .made no im pression on them. It was as If birds flew down and plucked the words and ate them. Others* hearts were stony, and while the good words might be sown in them, they soon Wire forgotten because the minds of those who received were not Interested and gave them no thought In which to grow. Others heard and believed at first, but allowed other Interests, like '^eeds, to ehoke out all thought of them. But there were many whose minds and hearts welcomed the fruitful though and cherished them, and gath a ridi haarvest of fine ^risl bving from them. Storm oa QaUlee The Sea of Galilee Is a befutifiii body of water 350 feet below sea level. It is usually calm, but sud den storms arise on it After i«dching the people, Jesus and His disciples embarked in a boat to go to the other side of ttie sea, Jesus, being wearied, went to sleep, and a great storm arose, v/hlch rocked &e boat and fright ened the fishermen so that they called Jesus, telling Him that they were about to perish. Jesus re« buked the waves and they stilled. Then He turned to His disciples, reproving Oiem iw their lack of faith. On tha other side ctf the sea they were met by a man sorely alllcte4 with demons. So tormented was he that he hid in tombs and wore no clothes. The evil spirits spoke throvylr his mouth, asking Jesuf not to command them to go into the sea, but into a herd of swine which was feeding near by, Jesus did,ss they asked, and the swine ran «owa « steep |rtao« into tM sea and were drowned. The' man flung himself at Jesus’ feet, and later went about telling everyone his release. But the people who saw the miracle were frightened, and asked Him to go away. So He went back to the ship anU re turned to the other side. Mirade of the Sick Womaa The people on the other s)de of the sea deceived Him gladly. A man named Jarius. a ruler of Hre synagogue^ came to Him, saying that his young daughter was ill, and asking that Jesus make her well. People crowded about the Master, and as He made His wajr to Jarius’ house. He felt poviw JO eht 9t Hifti, Md adced who had touched Him.

While the United States is arming itself amid the desire of our people for peace, and with the assurances recently given by both candidates that we will have peace, the government, with almost complete popular support, is pursuing policies that may lead us into war. For tunately, no political question is involved because both Presi dent Roosevelt and Mr. Willkie took the same position and our assistance to Great Britain and ChilMi have bean aaeepted as reahn of partisan debate. Our aid to the British, self limited by the phrase “short of war,” must in our own interest be sufficient to prevent British defeat. While it will not cause usi to declare war on Germany or Italy it may lead them to attack us. Assistance to China involves the same risks in re gards io Japan. Since the Rome - Berlin - Tokyo pact was signed solely to protect these nations from our interference in their present wars, and since icy of aid to the British and Chinese constitutes interfer ence, it is easy to see that our they may conclude that our pol continuance at peace depends upon a decision to be j made in BerliOk Rome or Tokyo, and that no amount of peaceful inten tions on the^ part of our Iroverh- ment has anj^thing to' do with the issue. No Peace Qy Appeasement Of course, the President of the United States can secure a temporary peace by appease ment but, in the recent ohm paign, both the President and Mr. Willkie repudiated the sug gestion. Thus we find the United States pursuing a policy that may lead to war and, be cause this danger is recognized, the nation feverishly prepares to fight, if n^essary, rather than give up #its policy under pressure from abroad. aBlTTUB HDTT ITotice in business office: Pa eons having no business in this office will please transaca it as q^iekly as possible.—^Milwaukee JoumaL J •; illurFijds ‘‘Look here, Sarah,” said the master if ths hoase, “how many wore time* have I to tell yon aboitt tfaeSei Sobf^bs T I've just had to swe^ pile opt 4he bed rail and throw it in the fire myself.’’ “Good gracious, sir,’’ exclaimed the maid. ‘ ‘That’s the missus’ fancy dress for tonight’s dance!” —Tit-Bits.

FARMERS PIECES UP TWO The general level of prices re ceived by farmers in mid-Octo ber at local markets throughout the country was two points higher than in mid-September, reports the U. S. Bur^u of Agricultural Economics. Freight cars now average 20 per cent greater capacity than in 1«18. Locomotives now have nearly half again as much palling power as they had in 1918. Freight trains now operate near ly two thirds faster than in 1920. Because of better locomotives and freight cars and improved signaling system and terminals, the railroads now tufn out more than twice as much transporation Beirviee per train hour, on the average, than they did in 1918.

Consequently, while waiting Willkie, likewise assiired us that, if he wdte elected, there would be on war. Yet the cold facts are that bpth candidates advocated policies and approved measures that may lead us into war. The present Congress, this year„ has appropriated nearly seventeen billion dollars for the Army, Navy and Air Corps. This is not an issue between the par ties beoBuse both Willkie and Roosevelt stood for “defese" and if there was a difference between them it was over which could better prepare the fight ing forces of the nation. Fo* d ecades American strat egy revolved around a small Army, depending upon the Navy to protect us from actual invasion. The idea was that, in the event of war, the Navy would be adequate to screen whatever military expansion that might become necessary for the particular occasion. This was sound strategy because the balance of power between the nations made it unreasonable to expect attack from more than one nation.
