THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"Your tires are In good shape, Judge., .ought
to last you at least another 5,000 miles.”
"I’ve been very careful of them, Jim, since
I learned how much the government needs
rubber. Only drive when I have to...keep
her under 35 an hour and have the tires
switched around every 1,000 miles.”
“Me, too, Judge. Pretty tough spot we
were put in gettin’ our supply of rubber cut
off just when we needed it most. But, we’ll
be gettin’ plenty of synthetic rubber real
soon. Say, is it true, Judge, that the beverage'
distilling industry has a part in producing it?”
"Yes, a very important part, Jim. That
industry’s facilities for producing grain al
cohol make it possible to include 200,000
tons of rubber from grain in the government’s
870,000-ton synthetic rubber program.
Pretty important contribution to our war
effort, isn’t it Jim?”
‘‘It certainly is, Judge. Wonder how many
people really realize it?”

The Great Physician
__ By PRESTON E. CAYTON _
Pastor, Saints Delight Christian Church
When Jesus and his disciples land
ed at Capernaum, they found a crowd
of people waiting for them. A man
came forward from the throng and
fell at his feet. He was a chief in
the synagogue; his name was Jairus.
He said. "Master, come to my house
my child is dying." He had faith in
Jesus, that He could raise her to life.
On his way to Jairus house a great
throng of people followed Him. In
the throng was a poor woman who:
for years had been very sick. The j
dictors had tried to help her but
failed. She had spent all tier money,
and she was very poor. It seems;
that the doctors of her day turned !
her down when she had spent all her |
money.
Some years ago. a man was at
death's door, knowing that his time
on earth was short. He sent for his
doctor and his banker, when they
came in. he told one to sit on one
jside of the bed. the other on the
other side of the bed, for he wished
to die like his Lord.
This woman came behind Jesus
and touched His garment. At that
instant she was well again. Jesus
feeling tire touch, turning and said,
"Who touched me?" Peter said.
"Master, the crowd throngs Thee.
How can You ask. 'who touched
me?’ " Jesus said, “some one has
touched Me: for I feel virtue gone
out of my body." Tire woman came
