The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D.
There is no cure for nervous
ness like true happiness, and
nothing better for the restoration
of the home than a good dose of
Teligion.
Repeatedly, husbands and
wives write me in a highly ner
voiis state concerning home un
happiness. More than two years
ago a wife nervously ill wrote me
in great distress concerning her
personal condition and her un
happy home life. We placed her
nai^e on our prayer list, and urg
ed her to give the Lord full place
in her life, seeking His strength
and guidance. This she did, and
the results should bring en
couragement to many others who.
are in similar situation. I quote
from the letter:
"You may remember how I call
ed on you from the dark shadows
of my life more than two years
ago, how you pointed me to seek
health aind strength from my Lord
and Saviour. It wasn’t easy to
fight through this my third ner
vous breakdown, but He gave me
strength.
“Then one day we moved close
to a small church, and I asked
ray husband as a special favor to
take me to one of its services. It
was only a small prayer meeting,
but that night he was gloriously
converted, and I found new stre
ngth. I immediately began to im
prove in health. My doctor was
delighted, and when I told him
what had happened, he said that
joy and happiness brought back
my health. And what a joy it was!
After twelve years of unhappi
ness, to have the close compan
ionship now of a Christian hus
band and father! We united in the
membership of this little church,
and dedicated our lives to our
lord and His work. My husband
threw himself into the work of
the Church, took a little class of
from four to eight children, and
5 ttb >'- nr io seventeen.”

joy and happiness we are finding
in our life, and in the work of
our Church.”
I looked up the file on this
ase and found a long history of
nervousness and frustration. Then
the power of God came into this
home, and now this letter speaks
for itself. There is little that I can
add, except to say, that nothing
will restore physical, mental and
spiritual health like the power of
God in the human heart, which
brings that “Peace of God which
passeth all understanding.” If the
power of God can work such
wonders in this, one of the most
stubborn cases in my files, I am
sure it can do the same for many
other homes which so need it, if
they will give God the chance.

What’s Wrong with This Picture?
One of two things:
(1) The hunters are disregarding a
common safety practice by shooting
when there is another hunter in the
line of fire, or
(2) The hunters lack the visual
ability to see the hunter beyond
the deer.
Hunting licenses are issued for the
killing of game only/ However, an
estimated 600 hunters are killed and
8,000 injured annually in the United
States by fellow sportsmen! These
deaths and injuries are classified as
"Accidental" We all know, however.
that "Accidents Don’t Happen—
They are CAUSED."
And one of the major causes of these
"accidents” is inefficient vision! Ac
cording to the Public Health Bureau
of the American Optometric Associa
tion, Inc., every hunter should have;
1. Clear Distance Vision
2. Adequate Field of Vision
8. Adequate Color Vision
There is a penalty for killing game
out of season. No penalty can atone
for killing man.
When a sport endangers human
lives, it ceases to be "sporting."
Washington, D. C.—'The trag
edy of presidential errors anc
public relations blunders at th«
White House which culminated
in the ousting of Secretary Wal
lace from the Truman cabinei
overshadowed all. other develop
menis m waaningion,
On the international front the
Wallace foreign, relations speech
and its divergence of views from
our established foreigrf relation
policy had such repercussions.in
the capitals of the world, , .
President, some sources said, bW
to take the tragic course he did
take and fire Wallace in order to
preserve the government’s unity
behind Secretary of State Byrnes
and the American delegation at
the Paris peace conference.
On the domestic political front,
the Wallace ouster had equally
loud repercussions and according
to some official observers shunt
ed away from the Democratic
party the last of the New Deal
party of Franklin D. Roosevelt
and a sizable chunk of the labor
and liberal vote.
That the President chose to oust
Wallace as being the lesser of two
evils, or that a united front at
Paris was more important in our
attempts at world peace than to
retain Wallace as the leader of
the liberal element in the Dem
ocratic party, is apparent. For
the President, as a result of his
own blunders, was faced with
the grave responsibility of undo
ing what he had done in his now
famous press conference. His ac
tion in firing Wallace and his
issuance of a statement placing
in Secretary Byrnes his full and
complete confidence, was his way
of telling the world that the Wal
lace speech in no way affected our
established policy.
Democratic leaders here are
divided as to the effect of the
Wallace ouster on the congress
ional election next November
and the Presidential election of
1948. The old-line conservatives
which comprise most of the
southern bloc, and which now
seemingly have taken over the
administration, are jubilant over
the Wallace exit. They have been
trying for years to obtain his
ouster. Liberal Democrats see a
dark picture ahead, declaring
that Wallace, the last of the
Roosevelt cabinet, was the only
party bulwark which kept labor
and the liberal element in line.
In the meantime Wallace has
been also ousted from the speak
er’s list at the Democratic na
tional committee along with
Senator Pepper of Florida, an
other liberal leader.
Hence Wallace must find anoth
er medium by which he may go
before the people and proclaim
his views, other than the Dem
ocratic party. Both the statements
of the President and that of Wal
lace issued after Wallace was
ousted, put the work of peace
ahead of party politics and it
may be that the erstwhile secre
tary, whose public life has been
a continuous round of political
crisis, may see fit to remain quiet
on international policies until
after the Paris conference has
adjourned. He did say, however,
that the President’s action reliev
ed him of his promise not to make
further foreign policy speeches.

Whether Wallace as a private
citizen will have the same in
fluence with the liberal vote as
he did within the government,
remains to be seen. His cabinet
job can no longer be the spring
board by which he can proclaim
his “one world” theory and his
fight for peace.
As a consequence of the in
credible blunders which led up
to the Wallace ouster there is
talk in official circles here of
abandoning the extemporaneous
press conference of the Presi
dent. Few men in the White
House haye been able successfully
to handle the barrage of questions
hurled by the newspaperman.
Wilson did it questionably well
although he also made some
blunders. Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover made mistakes so fast
that they abandoned the confer
ence and had questions submitted
in advance in writing. President
Roosevelt revived the practice of
personal and extemporaneous
questions and answers and he was
a past master. President Truman,
however, has been unable to keep
up the pace and some of his top
advisers are now urging him to
stop the present practice and re
turn to the written questions.
