Fire Prevention
r Faced with an average, annual
toll of 10,000 deaths from fire, to
1 gether with property loss which ex
ceeded $560,600,000 in 1946, Presi
dent. Truman Is sponsoring a nation-wide
effort to cope with the
fire" menace.
Representatives of municipal and
- State governments, Federal ageu-
- ciesand of non-official organiza
' . lions' with a basic interest in fire
t prevention have been organized in
i.U a coordinating committee to
draft an agenda for the Conference
" and to appoint committees which
will prepare recommendations to be
submitted to the Conference as a
; whole.
The fire toll has been rising since
,1934, and 1946 was the most de-
structive year with a property loss
of $561,487,000.
Committees will be appointed to
. make advance studies of special
aspect of fire prevention, including
law enforcement, law" revision,
building codes, inspection, fire
fighting services, education, and to
v draft , recommendations for the
Conference, which will be in sess-

Special consideration will be giv
en to disability claims filed by vet
terans who were interned in enemy
prison camps during World War II,
the Veterans Administration has
announced.
Former prisoners of war who
have any reason to believe they are
suffering from a disability as a re
sult of their confinement may file
a claim with the VA.
A study of the effects of malnu
trition on former American prison
ers of war has revealed that near

OF TABERKACUM
Ibmoh non-jtM t.u ie. si 3a'; ;

UKUOIV mjCOnON I am the light
of Uie world: he that (ollcwetb m iball
Mi walk la darknem, but shall have the
light af Ute.-John 8:M.
"Ta Light of the World Is
JmubI" Who does not remember
with what delight we a children
saaig, "Coma to the light, 'tie shin
ing for .thee ... The Light of the
World la Jesua." How precious was
the truth that thus flooded our souls!
Hat the passing of the years
dimmed the beauty and glory of
that light la our hearts and liveaT
Do we need it renewed? God Is will
ing and ready. Jesus is the light."-
and just as the sunlight sheds Hs
glory on an awakening " world at
dawn, so Christ sheds abroad the
light of God in the hearts of be
lieving men. The writer of these
lessons pens these words wifii the
prayer that as this portion of God's
Holy Word is studied and taught,
that light may break forth on
many a soul lost in the bewilder
ment of this dark world.
Our study centers around three
simple words fraught with beauty
and rich in meaning.
L Light (John 8:12-16).
The text says, "Then spake
Jesus." When? Just after he had
silenced the hypocritical accusers of
a woman taken in sin, and had
spoken the word of peace to her
troubled soul. She was to "go and
sin no more" because she had met
him who is the light of the world.
They that follow him "shall not
walk in darkness"; they are the
children of light, they have the very
light of Ufe.
How sad it is that with the light
of the world shining in all its bright
ness, men loved their own darkness.
The Pharisees, instead of receiv
ing the Light, had to argue, and to
do it on a low, fleshly plane. They
even accused Jesus of being a liar.
Think of that!
So it is that men may reject the
Light of God and go on into a dark
ness made deeper because they
have seen the light.
Now we look at our second beau
tiful word. How sweet it sounds as
we repeat it
H. Freedom (vv. 31-36).
Free Four letters, but what a
depth of meaning! Chains ha ve
fallen off, prison doors are open.
The one who was bound is free. But
here we are concerned with an even
more important liberty, the free
dom of the soul. Many there are
who boast of their Independence,
but who are merely slaves. Jesus
said: "Whosoever committeth sin Is
the servant of sin" (v. 34) not its
master.
How shall they be freed? Note
three things in these verses. (1) A
condition "If ye continue in my
word." This means not only a pro
fession of faith, but a daily appro
priation and realization of his truth
in life. (2) A promise "Ye shall
know the truth." The philosophies
of men profess to be a seeking after
truth, but how few there are who
look to the one place where it can
be found in Jesus Christ. (3) A
result "The truth shall make you
free." Truth always sets free.
Men are enslaved because, as in
some foreign lands, they have not
had the opportunity to learn the
truth (we have failed to send it), or
because they have rejected it.
Freedom and light can lead only
to
m. Vision (John 9:1-5).
This is one of the most instructive
passages In Scripture. A man born
blind is seen by Jesus. His disciples
note his interest and begin to theor
Ize on a theological question The
had learned so little of the com
passionate Spirit of Jesus that they
saw In this blighted life only an il
lustration of a theological problem.
May God help us that we may never
be so blind. -
:, Jesus goes at once to his blessed
work. He was in the world to do
the works of God. He and the Father
always work. Let us follow ' his
blessed example. The King's busi
neis requires haste. Let us work
"while it is day, the night cometh
when no man can work." ;
i By a loving and gracious act,
Jesus stirs in the heart of the man
that faith which causes him to go,
to wash, and, glory to God, be
eesl , . ..
Such a personal experience of the
divine power s of the Son of God
leaves bo doubt in the man's mind
that the One who caused him to
sea "is a prophet" All oi a man's
doubts concerning the deity of Jesus
Christ disappear when ha becomes
bis Saviour.
Do not fail to read the remainder
of the chapter and note how this
man's faith was victorious ' in the
face of trials, persecution, and even
of excommunication; for outside the
temple he met Jesus and took him
as his Lord., As Dr. Scroggie puts
it, "His excommunication was a
promotion. He went from the syn .
agogue to the Saviour." :

I asked this young eaonoaaist the
secret of the growth of the Socialist
party in the United Kingdom. Dis
playing polltioal acumen ; which- is
engendered only from a thorough
understanding ' of reality and a
knowledge of facts, this economist
said that victory in the last election
In close districts came because' of
the yote of the young people.
"In fact, the percentage of young
people who voted the Socialist ticket
was greater than the percentage of
older people In the ranks of Labor,"
be told me, adding a fact I knew
already:, that the growth of Social
ism has been more rapid among
young people and among skilled
workers. The influence of higher ed
ucation, he stoutly 'affirmed, was a
definite factor in the spread ofJSo
clalism throughout the Kingdom.
I did not encourage him in this re
gard, about America, but the paral
lel was clear. I found myself wish
ing that our own high schools and
colleges were doing a better job of
buildirlg into the very fiber of Amer
ican youth a deep appreciation for
the fundamental principles of our
American way of life, lest our youth
some day lead this nation down that
same unfortunate road. Strange
irony it is, that wealth created by
honest work is used in the form of
taxes and in grants as means to de
stroy the philosophy which begot
our freedom and our wealth.
Competition Needed
Even the government officials in
London do not seem quite sure that
the. principle of nationalization is
sound. Some uncertainty exists, for
they are already detecting basic
weaknesses. During the week of
July 15 a London newspaper quoted
the London County Council as say-.
ing that the London Transport (a
government monopoly operating
street-cars, and buses) needed com
petition. In the same week an
other writer stated his opinion that
the . British Broadcasting Corpora
tion, the weaknesses of which were
at that time under fire in Parlia
ment, needed the competition of oth
er broadcasting companies in Eng
land. Failure of the private enterprise
system in America, our young econ
omist said, would soon come be
cause of the inability of business to
operate at a loss. This thing the
government cpuld do indefinitely,
just for the sake of maintaining
employment, be affirmed, insisting
there is no limit to deficit financing
available to government - owned
economy.
I have never been able to con
vince myself that Socialistic and
Communistic minded economists
could be sincere in advocating this
philosophy, characteristic though It
is of their thinking. If the principle
were workable, why does not Some
Communist nation issue a million
dollar credit to each of its citizens
and let them all enjoy wealth in a
nation that cannot go broke?
