No Influenza Epidemic The great influenza epidemic which swept through the United States dur ing the First World War killed ten times as many Americans as did the enemy. '' Consequently, one can undersaand the relief of health officials who have concluded that there is no present danger of a similar outbreak. Health officials believe that the sulfa drug will help to cut the death toll in any outbreak. Moreover, they say that an increasing tendency on the part of victims to go to bed when attacked by the flu germ is an impor tant factor in combating the disease. For the benefit of readers who may have a "touch of flu" in the next few months, we call attention to the state-1 ment of health officials that "persons who try to keep on their feet and stick it out are the greatest contri butors to death rolls. They are walking store-houses of infection and frequently succumb because of their unwarranted exertion." Red Army Challenges Nazi Title Frederick Oechsner, an American newspaper correspondent, who recent-1 ly arrived in this country after in-' ternment in Germany, speaks of the German Army as "the mightest army probably' ever kriown." Encouragingly, however, he predicts that drastic shortages of labor, trans portation and raw materials, plus a gradual weakening of morale, will undermine the resistance of Nazi arms. There can be little doubt of the strength of the German Army when Hitler plunged the world into war. It had years of preparation behind it and, consequently, took its adversar ies at a disadvantage. The Red Army of Soviet Russia, it seems, may be destined to replace the Reich's Army as the world's mightiest. For more than a year and a half, the Soviet has been subjected to the full force of Hitler's hordes, but the Red Army is on the offensive today, after retreats which are al most unparalleled in the history of the world. The exhibition of courage presented by the Russian soldiers can hardly be excelled. Moreover, in view of pres ent successes, one must conclude that behind the campaign in Russia is a surprising military leadership on the part of Soviet generals. The Food Outlook The not altogether rosy picture of American food prospects just given in the annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture needs ito be set beside the survey made last week by form er President Hoover if the full se riousness of the situation is to be grasped. Mr. Hoover remarked, with com plete accuracy, that food supply has now become secondary only to mili-1 tary operations in determining the outcome of the war. He added, and this needs to be emphasized, for every ' bit of comment and news coming to us from Europe confirms the view, i that food will take first place in peace and rehabilitation considerations after the war. Secretary Wickard tells us that more drastic rationing ot food than, Americans nave yet dreamed of lies aneaa, even if food production is mamtainea at present high levels. If lime is true while the var ,s ueingl fought, and great sections of human- lty are blocked off from the New; "wrJUB agricultural surpluses, wnat is to be the story after the war when some three to four huhdred million people look to the United States and Canada, and to a lesser degree to South America for the food that looms above politics, above intricate plans for peace, and academic talk about international economics? Hun ger is elemental and primitive. The occupied countries think in such terms now. There are signs that the place of food in carrying on the war is gain ing wider recognition in America; but "i!IBHHBiilliSgr3 THE PERQUIMAfH, WrLY, HERTFORD. N.

Certainly pre parations are not yet geared on a scale sufficient to meet the respec tive situation, ers taken from the farms by the not be enough (many have already been replaced), employment of women and unskilled urban labor would not suffice, nor is it likely temporary importation of Mex ican field laborers would completely answer.

Christian Science Monitor. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS THE BREAD OF LIFE International Sunday School Lesson for January 31, 1943 GOLDEN unto them, life." John TEXT: "Jesus aid I am the bread of 6:;5.r. (Lesson Text: John 6:8-14, 30-35.) John's gospel, as a rule, is supple mentary to the other three, but in our lesson today we have the only miracle recounted by all four gospel writers. In his record Join, recounts the events at the beginning of the year, but omits the remainder, including the definite calling of the twelve and the Sermon on the Mount. John likewise omits the early happenings of the next year, including the second 1 rejection of Nazareth, the missionary journey of the twelve, and the death of John the Baptist. Shortly after ine aeain oi me rsapusi occurrea me feeding of the five thousand, related bv John to properly introduce the drs course which followed Because of the excitement which followed the news of John the Bap tist's death and because Jesus pro- i bably wanted to confer privately with his disciples who had just re I turned from an evangelistic tour, i Jesus journeyed from the westward ! side of the Sea of Galilee to the east- ward side, However, his desire for privacy was thwarted by the crowd which followed him, which had seen his healing miracles. On the other side, Jesus drew his disciples with him into the mountain and endeavored to teach them more perfectly the ways of his kingdom. While here, another great multitude came seeking him. In the thinly settled section, where supplies were scarce, Jesus himself raised the question as to how these were to be fed. Philip viewed the matter from the material standpoint and saw the enormous difficulty which it presented. Andrew, another disciple, after some further conversation, which we learn from the gospels, reported the finding of a small boy who had five barley loaves and two fishes, both loaves and fishes being very small, the entire amount constituting only a lunch for the owner. Jesus had the large crowd to sit down in order and, after giving thanks, broke the small supply and distributed it, probably through the agency of his disciples. A miracu 'ous increase took place during thj process and when everybody had been fed, the disciples gathered up twelve baskets which remained. The miracle typifies the large results which can come from small resources properly devoted to divine purposes. The effect of the miracle was that the crowd wanted to make Jesus king, expecting him to free Palestine from the Romans. This was entirely for eign to the purposes of Jesus and in his discourses on the bread of life which followed shortly afterwards, he sought to distinguish between the physical bread and the substance of everlasting life which he was offering to the world. He reminded the Jews that their fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died, but he offer ed spiritual bread which would cause the recipient to live forever. The great majority of those who heard hiri could not understand, and many left, to follow him no more. There are valuable lessons to be drawn from this incident. Jesus looked at the crowd but did not con fine his consideration of it to an ab 8tract gathering. He knew that the multitude was composed of individu- aIs, each with a full capacity for hunger and suffering. Manv of our modem evils would disappear if their results were pro- perly seen in their application to in- dividuals rather than to society in general. After feeding the multitude, Jesus caused the remanant to be collected Nothing was to be wasted, notwith standing the fact that with his mir aculous power its replacement was not difficult. But wastefulness, in any form, is wrong. This applies to wasted money, idle hours, wasted affections, health unnecessarily destroyed, and opportunities neglected all repre senting ft waste contrary to the full- individual per- BELVIDERE CLUB MEETS The Belvidere Home Demonstration Club held its January meeting Fri dav afternoon at the home of Mrs. T.
