There is an unwritten law for people who arc thoroughbred, which compels
them to keep their troubles, their ailments, their sorrows, their worries, their
losses to themselves. If you have misfortunes, pains, and losses, hide them grace
fully. Those who know you have them will love you and admire you infinitely
more for this suppression. A stout heart and persistent cheerfulness will be more
than a match for all your troubles. —From the files of Dora Eastman,
Union City, Ind.

It is said that a sociology student at a Texas university once said to his instructor,
Professor, is it true that all the people in the world could live in the big state
of Texas?” The instructor, with profound wisdom, replied, ‘‘Yes, they could—if
they all were friends.” We hear a great deal these days about the “one world”
in which we live. All nations and all peoples can live together in peace in one
world only if all are friends. —Seth Harmon.

A big-league umpire once remarked that he could never understand how crowds
in the grandstand, hundreds of feet from the plate, could see better and judge
more accurately than he, when he was never more than seven feet away.
Anothei man commented that in life, too, we call strikes on a chap when we
are too far away to understand. Perhaps, if we had a closer view of the man and
his problems, we would reverse our decisions.

The leaves of autumn do not change their color from the blighting of frost,
hut from the process of Nature. They fall when the fruit is ripened, or when their
work is done. And their glorious hues are but their graceful surrender of their
summer's mission to God and man, a mission of loyalty and service, even like that
of an eager child. The fall of the leaf, a lesson to man!

Of Lord Holland’s sunshiny face it was said that he always came to the break
fast table like a man upon whom some sudden good had fallen.

VETERANS ADMINISTRATION aSca
The sharp increase in GI home
loan applications received by the
Veterans Administration during
August was sustained in Septem
ber, although appraisal requests
for proposed dwelling units showed
a decline over the same period, VA
announced.
VA received 34,084 home loan ap
plications during the month end
ing September 25, 1953, which was
a nine percent increase over the
Bradshaw, Kinston, N. C., program
chairman.
previous month’s total of 31,257
and the highest since April 1951,
when 36,517 applications were re
ceived.
1 hus, the August and September
rate is substantially above the av
erage monthly rate of 25,636 home
loan applications received during
the first seven months of this year.
Under the G1 loan program, a
lending institution agrees to make
the loan before submitting a loan
application for guaranty to VA.
T. B. King, Acting Assistant
Deputy Administrator for Loan
Guaranty, said the trend of in
creasing GI home loan applications
in the past two months reflects
an easing of the supply of money
for Gl loan mortgages in many
sections of the country.
However, VA emphasized that,
as in August, some of the Septem
ber increase may be attributed to
the rush of lenders to get loan ap
plications approved by VA before
the 4 percent gratuity was sus
pended midnight August 31, 1953.
The September increase in GI
home loan applications was gen
eral across the country except for
the South Central states which
showed a moderate decrease, VA
said.
During September, VA received
appraisal requests for 17,768 dwell
ing units of proposed construction
which was 4,350 units under the
August figure.
However, the monthly rate of ap
praisal requests for proposed con
struction are subject to fluctua

“EVERLASTING PUNISH
MENT" is the topic of the lesson
sermon in all Christian Science
churches next Sunday.
The Golden Text is from James
4:8 “Draw nigh to God, and he
will draw nigh to you. Cleanse
your hands, ye sinners; and purify
your hearts, ye double minded."
Passages from the Bible include:
“He that soweth to his flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall
of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
Gal. 6:8.
And from “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy, "It is error to
suffer for aught but your own sins.
Christ, or Truth, will destroy all
other supposed suffering, and real
suffering for your own sins will
cease in proportion as the sin
ceases.” p. 391.

tions since there are variations in
the number of large projects for
which requests are received from
month to month.
The monthly average of July,
August and September, 1063, is
30,200, which compares favorably
with 18,800, the monthly average
for the same period in 1952.
Most areas throughout the Unit
ed States showed only modest de
creases in the requests for apprais
al of proposed construction except
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, and California, where fairly
substantial declines were reported.
Mr. King said the decrease in
appraisal requests for proposed
construction also may indicate that
some builders are finding it dif
ficult to get advance financing
commitments for large projects.
“We cannot say that the decrease
is a trend on the basis of one
month’s figures,” Mr. King said.
