All are hoping for peace. But ill are preparing for war—a greater war than the one which ended 18 years ago on Nov. 11. Under Adolf Hitler, GERMANY is jrmlng to the teeth. Already it has more than 350,000 soldiers fully equipped with tanks and heavy ar tillery. In its labor camps and semi-mi litary organizations, Germany has a reserve of probably 5,000,000 men. Its air force Is leaping to tremen dous proportions. Basing his actions on alleged fear of Soviet Russia, Hitler has alarm ed Europe with several swift moves. March 11, 1935, he proclaimed his intention of building a vast' air force. March 18, he rent the Ver railles treaty by declaring he could disregard its military clauses fettering Germany. FRANCE, once more frightened by * heavily armed Germany, an xiously looks for places to tighten It* defenses. It has about 565,000 men In its armies, and could draw from a reserve of probably 6,000,000 men who have had military train ing Faemg the Germany frontier, France has a belt of steel and con crete fortifications — the Maginot fine But if and when Germany strikes, more than likely it will be through the air.

Sundown Stories For The Kiddies Sweet Face's Return By MARY GRAHAM BONNER Sweet face, the lamb, could not understand why he had been so foolish as to follow a flock of lambs going—he did not know where. And now he had gone along such a distance that he wondered how he would ever be able to find his way home. "I want to go back to Puddle Muddle,” bleated Sweet Face mis erably. “Baa, baa. we're following the leader,” said some of the lambs. Now a man was coming along to make sure that the lambs were all keeping together, and Sweet Face said to himself: “I have to get away when he isn’t noticing me.” But the man had already notic ed Sweet Face. “You don’t belong to us,” he said, “but if you want to come along I don’t object." “Baa, baa. I don't want to go any further with you. I want to go to Puddle Muddle.” But the man did not understand what Sweet F%ce said. The man walked on ahead, and Sweet Face waited for the right moment when he could disappear from the others. He was not sure at all that they would mind but he learned they might bleat so noisily that the man would come back. And—if he did that—Sweet Face thought, he might decide that he needed an extra lamb for is flock. Soon the leader of the flock be gan to run and the others run, too. They did not notice they were leaving Sweet Face behind. “Now 111 go back to Puddle Muddle,” he said, but then a dread ful thought came to him. “How am I going to find my way back?” he wondered. “I dontknow in which direction to go.” Westerners Seek Land In Carolina RALEIGH. Nov. 16.—A group of practical corn-belt farmers and ex perienced livestock men plan t o “reverse the historic order of things” and come to North Caro lina, in contrast with those who migrated west from this State, Ca pus M. Waynick, chairman of the State Highway and Public Works Commission, has been informed by • a Chicago citizen. They have their eyes on a sec tion of Columbus county and in tend to go there, en masse, if satis factory highways can be built. That is why they took the matter up with Chairman Waynick, who said he "favors the movement.” In his statement to Mr. Way nick, the .Chicagoan said, concern ing the proposed migration of this farm colony to North Carolina. “Such a community will consti tute a most desirable and valuable contribution to North Carolina’s present system of agriculture, for the reason that these western farmers, experienced in the pro duction of food, grain and forage crops, ar.d also in the breeding and handling of all types of livestock, will open up and occupy these rich, undeveloped della lands which na tive tobacco and cotton growers do not know how to utlllie to the maximum extent.

Devotional Reading: Isaiah 2:2-4 • • • PAUL’S failure to receivo an immediate hearing and jus tice by appealing unto Caesar greatly shook his pride in being a free-born Roman citizen. The Intrigues against him to Palestine, he realized, might bias the mind of a Roman governor anxious to conciliate the people, so Paul stood upon his rights as a citizen and appealed to Rome. The trip there was sufficiently exciting, for it was characterized by the shipwreck of which we have such a thrilling story. But Paul, eventually safe to Rome, was disappointed that his case did not come up quickly for trial. Though he had the priv ilege of living in his own house, he was guarded constantly and was literally an ambassador to chains. The strange contrasts that play to Roman life and history are emphasized in this story of Paul’s Imprisonment there. It seems remarkable that the iron hand of Rome, characterized often by so much violence, should, nevertheless, rest easily enough on Paul, to allow him even more liberty than is al lowed most prisoners today. Paul’s failure to get justice was traceable to conditions sim ilar to those which fetter justice today. There were hidden and intense Influences at work, and theee influences, so strong in Palestine, might easily have fol lowed him to Rome. • • • XjX)R two years, however, Paul lived in his own house, re ceiving all who came to see him. The man who had traveled near and far preaching the Gospel, now turned this different oppor tunity to new account, preach ing as others came to him. There is a tradition that there was a body of Roman soldiers known as the Thundering Le gion, members of which had come in contact with Paul while they had been chained to him to guard him, and had, under such influence, developed a high strain of seriousness and cour age. Most of Paul’s Epistles were written to Christians in various cities that he had visited during his missionary Journeys and in the churches that he had estab lished. The Epistle to the Ro mans, in contrast, was written relatively early in his ministry, and he had spoken with great urgency of his desire to visit the capital city of the empire. In a famous passage he de clared that he was not ashamed to preach the Gospel in Rome, strong in the assurance that it was the power of God unto sal vation. In a sense. Paul was measuring his strength of the Gospel against the strength of Rome, and the imperialism of Christ Jesus against the Impe rialism of a city that had con quered and controlled the world. One cannot get the full sweep of Paul’s faith, courage, and out look, without sensing this mag nificence of his world vision, and the fact that the greatness of his Roman citizenship was caught up in the larger glory of being a citizen of the household of faith and of the kingdom of God. How different was Paul’s ac tual coming to Rome! Not the free entry of an earnest mission ary, but the coming of a citizen in chains. Yet Paul was undaunted. He was a preacher and ambassador of Christ, and, as we have sug gested in comment on an earlier lesson, the sense of his depend ence upon God’s power and his appreciation of spiritual values increased as he sensed the weak ness, the futility, and the wick edness that often prevail in high places of government Paul’s disappointment in the Roman world threw him back, with a large measure of faith, on a world of spiritual realities. ‘EVERLASTING FLOWERS’ GIVE FARMERS A LIFT MONTARA, Cal.—Farmers of of this little coastal area have round a unique answer to agricul tural problems in tXe raising of “everlasting flowers.” Every night trucks lumber out of the peat lands here, once devoted almost exclusively to artichokes, bearing cargoes of a small chrysan themum that never wilts.
