CIVILIANS START WARS
Civilians start wars; soldiers
slop tftiem. This in substance is
the declaration of Major General
W. G. Everson, chief of the militia,
bureau, who recently left the pas-
torate of an Indiana Blaphist
'■ church to take his present position
He has served! in two wars him-
self, besides devoting much ’time
to the national guard of his state.
The general’s remark was in-
tended to be a, refutation of the
often repeated charge that mili-
tary men are the cause of wars.
He also saidl: “No soldier wants
war, but it is foolhardy to think
oi disbanding our forces and! giv-
ing no heed to preparedness.”
it is true, as General Eiverson
says, that, decisions for war are
made by civilian officers of gov-
ernments. The armies and navies
only come into the picture after
war is declared. It is only natural
that military men, upon whom
the responsibilities for ending war
must fall, desire to have adequate
personnel and equipment with
which to combat the enemy when
their civilian masters sa.y the word
They also believe that prepardness
is tf.ebest means for averting; ag-
gression on the part of other
nations.
It may be that military authori-
ties sometimes recommend a great
er expenditure for war prepara-
tions than is necessary, but they
do not advocate war itself.

TEN LYNCHED IN 1929
In its annual report on lynch
mgs in the United1 States, the Tus-
ks gee Institute in Alabama places
the l umber of persons put to
death- rbe hands of mobs dur
mg iyz9 at 10- This is one less
than in the previous year, and the
lowest recorded since records have
bees kept.
Of the 10 persons lynched! last
year, three were white and seven
were negroes. Florida was the
scene of four lynchings. Texas
had three, while Kentucky, M|iss
issippi and Tensessee had one
each. In 27 instances, the report
states, mobs bent on ’lynchings
were thwarted by officers of the
law. Thus 12 white men, 20 negro
men and two negro women were
saved from death by mob of vio-
lence.
The "steady reduction in the
number of lynchings during the
.past years is gratifying. The rec-
ord of 1929 stands in pleasing con-
trast with the horrible Orgy of
mob rule which marked the latter
part of the last century. Ik the
year 1892 no less, than 255 persons
were lynched.
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Jesus was never a pious recluse.
Some think of Him as effeminate.
Rather, He was always a main’s
man, rugged physically, energetic
at all times and always alert to
observe the needs of those about
Him. The population of Palestine
was much greater in those days.
Josephus was a careful writer, and
he declared that there were 204
populous villages and cities in
Galilee. We are now in the middle
of public ministry and about one
year and eight months have elaps-
ed M,banwhile this Master Teacher
had visited “all the cities and vil-
lages.” Through the meetings in
the synagogues He came into inti
mate acquaintance with the Jew-
ish leaders and as He went from
place to place learned the needs
and heart hunger of the masses.
The people literly flocked to Him.
This was not altogether unselfish,
for they were healed of “all man-
ner of disease and all manner of
sickness.”
All these opportunities for ob-
servation revealed the need of a
friendly leadership. The idea, -of
helpfulness had not developed
even as we find it to-day, and
there is still much to learn in
Christian benevolence. The parable
in which the priest and the levite
passed without rendering any help
indicated ‘the general attitude of
that time. Jesus resorted to the
familiar, rather than to the com-
monplace, when He liked the situa-
tion to sheep without a .shepherd.
The unprotected sheep soon be-
came a, prey to any roving thief.
The solution was promulgated in
the Golden Text: “The harvest in-
deed is plenteous,, tout the laborers
are few. Pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he send
forth laborers into his harvest.”
The major question, when it comes
to helping others, is still that of
an adequate leadership,
j Early in His ministry the Mas-
ter discerned that comparatively
few of the people wouid attach
| themselves to Him. Another me-
thod must be worked out and1 the
j “W IN ONE” campaign was in-
augurated, which \ is, the one me-
thod of aggressive campaign in
building up the Kingdom of God
on earth that Jesus presented.
There were many who could be
classed a® disciples, meaning learn
ers. At one time there is record of
as many as seventy being sent
forth qn this “WIN ONT” enter-
prise. Sbmie plan of organization
that was both constructive and
permanent miust be found. There-
fore from among’ taihe many discip-
les TWELVE were chosen to toe
apostle®, and! the meaning of that
word is “sent forth.”These men
were selected after a night given
over to prayer, as was frequently
the custom of their Leader. Com-
mit the names to memory. Peter
always heads the list and Judas,
the ifctetrayer, concludes it.
I /living been called, the se men
were charged with a definite ser-
vice in Kingdom-building. They
, They were to be tooth evangelists
j and healers, as well as constant
teachers. These three divisions
still hold in any missionary enter-
prise to-day—soul winning,, school
ing and medical missions. Practic-
ally all of the benevolent institu-
tions throughout the world are
the result of following the princi-
ples taught by Jesus Christ and
His followers.
Jesus made it very clear that
the "work would be hard and that
His embassadors would suffer re-
buffs, but nothing was to stop
them in seeking to win individuals
to a personal belief in Him as
their Saviour. There would be re-
wards in his life and still greater
returns in the Kingdom above.
The commission has not been
been modified. To-day there are
at least 400,000,000 children and
youth in the world who are with-
out any form of religions instruc-
tion.

HAVE YOU SEEN A MIRACLE?
Here is an important distinc-
tion that many people overlook.
God made the world; tout, He
does not make your world.
He provides the raiw materials,
and out of them every man selects
what he wants and builds an in-
dividual world for himself.
The fool looks over itihe wealth
of material provided, and selects
a few plates of ham and eggs, a
few pairs of trousers, a few dol-
lar bills—and is satisfied.
The wise1 man builds his world
out of wonderful sunsets, and
thrilling experiences, and’ the song
of the stars, and romances and
miracles.
, Nothing wonderful ever hap-
pens in the life of a fool.
An electric light is. simply an
electric light; a. telephone is only
a telephone —nothing unusual at
all.
But wise man never ceases to
wonder how a tiny speck of seed
apparently dead ia/nd buried, can
produce a beautiful yellow flower.
He never lifts a telephone receiver
or switches on an electric; light
without a certain feeling of awe.
And think what a miracle it is,
this harnessing of electric,ty too the
service of man!
Who, unless his sense of awe
had grown blunt through constant
familiarity, would believe it?
The sun, the center of our uni-
verse, goes down behind the wes-
tern horizon. I touch a button, and
presto! I have called it toaiok—’the
room is flooded anew with light.
The thunder that men once heard
a, thousand miles away.
Do we want heat? We press a
button: and’ lo, hea.t invisible, sil-
ent, all-pervasive, flows into our
homes over a copper wire.
Do we need power? We have to
press another switch, and giants
come a*> us over the same slender
roadway. Clothed in invisible gar-
ments, they cleanse cuir homes,
wash our elothes, crank our auto-
mobiles—do everything that once
taxed the strength of men and
hurried women into unlovely old
age.
Don’t let your life become a
TON-
The true philosopher doesn’t
whine for things he knows he
can’t get.
If one is clever in dodging; ex-
penses he will not have to meet
them.
prosaic affair:, don’t let familiar-
ity . with the marvels about you
breed thoughtlessness and con-
tempt. ,
If you had stood with Moses on
the shone of 'the Red Sea,, and had
seen it divide to let the Children
of Israel pass over, you would
have had no difficulty in recogniz-
ing that as a, miracle.
But every night when the -un
goes down, a man stands in a
power-house in your city and
laihrows a switch;, and1 instantly tbs
city and the country for miles
around; are flooded with sunshine.
And you say to yourself caus-
ally: “Oh, I see the lights iaire on.”
Uncle Sam is a Sr.y’cck or an
easy mark, depending on the point
of view.
Or ■ greatest £ear concerning
the matter is that too much argu-
ment about peace may lead to war
About the only refuge from
high-pressure salesmanship is the
cafetria.

OLD IRONSIDES
By Oliver Wendell Holmes
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to
see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout
And hurst the cannon’s roar—<
The meteor of the oceas air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck, once red with heroes’
blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
Wlhen winds were hurrying o’er
the flood
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor’s
tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall
pluck
the eagle of the sea!
Oh, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty
deep
And there should be heir’ grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
iSiet every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale.

THE INVESTIGATORS
A widespread feeling akin to
disgust is being endangered1 in the
public mind! by the investigation
mania; now afflicting the United
States Senate. This, does not m^m
that the public condones actions
by groups or individuals which are
against the general welfare, but
some of the methods employed by
the investigators are becoming
•tiresome. ■
Witnesses appearing before
■these' inquisitorial committees are
frequently subjected to browbeat-
ing, abuse and insinuations in
an effort to furnish sensational
material for press reports which
has little if any bearing on the
matter ait issue. Many of these in-,
vescigators are pervaded with an
atmosphere of hypocrisy which is
readily sensed by every fair-mind-
ed person.
The truth is that Senatorial in-
vestigations are generally inspired
by pol.ticai and selfish motives.
Even in cases where an investiga-
tion might *be necessary and prop-
er any possible good that could ac-
crue to the public is often largely
nullified toy the manifest spirit of
mal ice and unfairness which char-
acterizes the procedure of the in-
quiring trifciumal1.
porary relief in almost every case
of peptic ulcer. When a patoienib
comes to me with such evidence,
immediate vicinity, there are cer- 11 am to suspect ulceration. The
taVn usual symptoms which may (t°od relieves by absorbing the ex-
confirm or dismiss’ your conclu-
sion, according to whether they
ere present or absent.
If your distress, whatever it is,
comes on at least two hours after
taking food—ever later is the rule
—this point® to ulcer. Some are
nauseated, some have actual pain,
some become distresses by gas.
The point is, the distress comes on
when the stomach is empty, or
nearly so; and the reason for this
is excess of acid in the stomach
reaches the surface of the ulcer,
and sets up anything from gastric
spasm to boring, burning pain,
nausea, sour stomach, as well as
many minor symptoms—always
with an empty stomach, long af-
ter aking food.
This furnishes, material for the
second diagonstic point, which is
this: Eating something gives tem-
cess acid which causes the pain—
takes it up much as the blotter
tak^s up ink on paper. And a hy-
peracid condition is present in sim-
ple ulcer of the stomach. Taking
“soda” relieves so many acid con-
ditions that it is of lesser value in
pointing to ulcer. Capable V-ray,
of course, clarifies the situation.
Miy first requirement in ulcer is
SOFT diet—and my reason is
plain: If you had ulcer of the palm
of the hand, you wouldn’t rub it
with ha lf-masticated radish, celery
fried meat or potato—and except
it to ever heal. No raw fruits, or
acid fruits, except possibly juice of
sweet orange, sparingly. Soft food
always. No overloading.
Never make a. business of wash-
ing out the stomach, once ulcer is
accurately diagnosed. Ulcers resent
“prodding.”

JUDGING OTHERS
It is trite to say that in judging
the character and; motives of an-
other person we shiuld try to im-
agine ourselves in his place. But
how many of us do it? How many
of us make a conscious and deter-
mined effort to be fair in our esti-
mate of the other fellow?
In a recent article Dr. Glenn
Frank quoted1 an unknown author
who has set forth some thoughts
in this connection which are worth
repeating as follows:
“When the .other fellow acts
that way, he is ugly; when you do.
it is nerves.
“When the other fellow is set. in
his way; he’s obstinaiae; when you
arc, it’s firmness.
“When the other fellow treats
someone especially well, he is
toadying; when youi do, it’s tact.
“When Lb.’ other fellow takes
'is time, he is dead slow; when
y:u do, you are deliberate.
“V"1 -n the other fellc-w picks a
■f'Yv’ cranky; when you do,
-re. discriminating,
hen the other fellow says
what hie thinks, he is spiteful;
when you do, you are frank,” and
so on, , Y ' Y>. ’ .T •
He Didn’t Get It
A friend said to a Scotchman: “If you had six dollars and
I asked you for one, how many would you have left?” Sandy
promptly replied: “SIX.”
They tell a good many stories about the Scotch toeing a
bit “tight,” but just the same their habit of being frugal,
saving and economical might be followed by a lot of people
who .poke fun at them. People should not only be saving, but
also keep their savings in a good B-nk—like ours.
