WEEKLY MEDITATION in 37 counties since last September 1 Five retailers in four counties were placed on probation and 140 retail ers were warned by the state director to “clean up” or face “close up” proceedings. In addition, about 75 dealers in various counties of the state were refused renewal of their licenses or denied licenses by local boards be cause they were unable to meet the requirements of the law.

But in spite of that the Bible is not believed and used. Almost every family has one. But few use it reg ularly and rightly, believing it to be the very wisdom and power of God itself. A professor.once said: “I know just exactly the composition of this seed.” He was professor of Bio'logy and held in his hand a little brown seed, which he showed to his friends. “This seed,” he said, “has in it nit rogen, hydrogen, and carbon. I know the exact proportions; I understand perfectly how it js put together and how it works. But still that seed puz zles me; there is something about it which I cannot comprehend. I can make a seed that will look exactly like it. But if I plant that seed, it will come to naught; its elements will be absorbed by the soil. It will per ish, decay, be no more. Yet if I plant the seed which God has made, it will become a plant and bear fruit, because it contains the mysterious principle which we call the life prin ciple. God has made the seed a liv ing thing, which I cannot do, which science cannot do.” Just like that seed is the Bible. It looks much like any other book. It is very simple in its narratives and teachings. But can we understand its marvelous power? When the con tents of the Bible is read or heard, it proves, at least in some hearts, that it has the divine life principle in itself. It brings forth a spiritual life. It bears fruit. It brings souls to Christ in true faith and holiness. At one time sixty families in Ar menia were compelled to embrace jlslamism. One aged woman refused, saying:: “I am too old to deny my iLord.” They burned her Bible. “You cannot take the Word of God out of 'my heart,” she said; “the only way to destroy my faith is to kill me.” St. Peter writes: “‘Being born again, not of corruptible seed but of in corruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever,” 1 Peter 1:23. Truly, the Bible is God’s own Word. To encourage that faith, St. Matthew’s Lutheran will give to every family next Sunday, August 18th, at the 11:00 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. services the meditation booklet, “Heirs of God.” A little girl had been to church for the first time. When she returned home her mother asked her what she thought of church. “I like it very much,” she said, “but there was one thing I didn’t think was fair.” “What was that, dear?” asked her mother. “Why one man did al^ the work, and then another man came around and got all the money.” Projectiles used by Britain range from machine gun bullets weighing an ounce and a quarter up to 2,000- pound shells for 15-inch naval guns. “Sanforized” M98 SlAa SUITS isc- A few $2.48 Some have Zipper fly trousers.
