Today’s Bible Meditation
i bttt i
Tuesday, March 17—Read St. Matthews 24:34-39.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto
thee, how often would | have gathered thy chil
dren together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under wings, and ye would not.
Sin thewarts God's good purposes.
First, His purposes for the individual, Think
what God might have done in you and through you,
if from childhood you had obeyed His voice. You
might bave gained holiness, the greatest converting
force in all the world. For men and women become
real Christians as they are won by the drawing
power of Christ working in other human lives,
Then, His purposes for the world which He loved
g 0 dearly that He sent His Son to redeem it O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem!” The seeking, gorrowing,
hoping love, with which God pleads and persuades— |
but never compels. “Ig it nothing to you? Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither-have entered into
the heart of man the things which God hath pre
pared for them that love Him." Man's sin is what
thwarts the love of God, and delays the bestowal of
His blessings on every race and nation.
CATTON'S COMMENT
2 8Y BRUCE CATTON
It "a,ng when that much-talked-of European war is
finally staged, it will -be an almighty difficult job
to try to sell any tickets to Uncle Sam. The one
thing that seems certain these days is that the ordi
nary American citizen wants no part of such war
and doesn’t propose to be €old any of it.
1f that were all there was to it, we could face the
5 fiu;u;e with a complacent confidence. Unfortunately
however, there seems to be at least a failr chance
that we may attend this war by the back door—via
Japan. 1
While there has grown up in this country a strong
determination to stay clear of any all European
fights, there also has grown up & state of mind which l
iooks upon a war in the Orient ag sofething more
or less.destined. Certainly that attituds seems 1o
prevail .in Washington; it also is widely prevalent
among the rank and file of citizens.
.In other words, while we learned our lesson about
European wars in 1917, we apparently have not‘
learned it at all so far as Asiatic wars are concern
ed. We are almost beginning to take it for granted
that some day we are going to tangle with the Japa- 1
nese. |
ar%am 6@d part about this is that no one has yet
shown Mow we could possibly gain anything by get- |
ting inté such war. o 3
We hidve a trade with China to protect, they say?
Sure—and its annual value is just about what we
would spend in two days of warfare, To be exact,
we sold the Chinese $51,941,000 worth of goods in
1933 (&‘e last year for which figureg are avialable
to tihs writer,) In that same year we sold to the
Japanese goods worth $143,434,000, ‘Which trade is
more worth keeping.
But the Japanese, it ig protested, have designs on
the Philippines. Well were on our way out of
.aose islands, The Filipinog wanted thelr indepen
dence and they’re getting it, If they want protec
tion against the Japanese or anybody else, and eX
pect us to sl!wvlt to them, let them stay under the
American flag. 3
The Japanese are strong-ayming their way to
emphhmm' Yes, they are; just ag we
strong-armed our way to California and the south
west; %t @s the British got India and much of
South jca; just as all the great powers built up
thejr empires. 8o what? Is it any of our concern?
As a matter of fact, the reasons why we should
fight tzg Jdpanese are so flimsy and weak that one
wonders such war is ever discussed. But it ig dis
_¢ussed, and worse; it is beginning to be taken for
.granted by a great many people.
L.et us realize, once and for all, that there is no
more reason for us to fight in Asia than there is
for ug t& fight in Burope. Dark as the world picture
is, we can stay at peace if we really want to. Right
now ig the time for us to make up.our minds about
it
The test of how Congress really feelg about pat
rongae is now before that body. It is contained in
the administration-endorsed measure to pleace first,
second ' ‘and* thied-class ~postmasterhipg under civil
service. .
For years all other postal employeg have been se
lected "through the merit system. The plan has
worked "weil. Yet the most important position in
the postoffice personnel has been left open as pat
ronage bait in every town and city in the country.
Meanwhile, there has been a-concerted trend to
ward the merit system in other federal departments.
The public, for one thing, has demanded the com
petitive set-up. Thus there js, frankly, no way
around, this issue or the present Congress. If it
-wantg %o clean house politically, this is the golden
~ opportunity.

DECREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS ;
It is pleasing to learn of the report of’
Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, state health direc-|
tor, in which is shown a decrease of 12!
percent in deaths from tuberculosis in|
1935 in comparison with 1931, and a de-|
crease of 3.9 percent over 1934. This|
splendid condition is due, in a great meas-i
ure, to the able direction of Dr. Aber-|
crombie and his associates in the depart-!
ment of health. l
In pioneer days, tuberculosis was con-|
gidered an incurable disease and its arrest|
and cure was believed to be impossible.|
However, the advancement of medicel
scienec has enabled the patient to not
only secure its control, but in many in-|
stances, where the disease is in an incip-g
ient stage, permanent cure is not uncom-|
mon. In fact, a majority of tubercular(
caseg are cured and the patient fully re-|
stored to health, I
A paragraph from the report of Dr.|
Abercrombie will, no doubt, he of inter
est:
“The death rate dropped from 73.7 per-l
cent in 1931 to 56.7 in 1985, while the
number of deaths in 1985 wag 1,717, com
'pared to 1,772 in 1934,
' “Nevertheless, tuberculosis still ranks
lhl_gh as a cause of deaths in Georgia, de
spite the splendid cooperation our divis
;mn of tuberculosis conirol is receiving
from the medical profession, civic organ
;lzatlons, and others.”
While the percentage is yet high, still
the decrease as shown by the 1935 report
is most encouraging and indicates that
with a continuance of the successful work
of the state department of health, the dis
lease will be reduced to a minimum within
}the next few years.
! CONSIDERING MATRIMONY
With the announcement that the King
of England has matrimony under consid
eration, the people of England are great
ly stirred over his announced intentions,
and many suggestions have been made as
to the proposed bride. All of those men
tioned belong to the royalty of nations of
the Kurpean countries, So far no Ameri
anc heiress has been mentioned as a likely
possibility of the king’s choice, though it
is a common custom for American women|
of wealth and social standing to sacrifice
their all for the benefit of obtaining a
title, though the title may not be of any
more standing than the name—an empty
honor.
However, of the number who have been
mentioned, it appears that Princess Eu
genie of Greece, daughter of Prince
George ,is the most acceptable to the roy
alty of England. However, the king may |
assert his preference and some other|
member of the royal families of the Eqro-i
pean countries may prove to be his choice.
It appears that an% and all of those men
tioned to become the wife of the king and
queen of that country are in a receptive
mood to the king’s suggestion that the
House of Parliament increase the budget
of the nation in order to provide for the
expenses of a queen,
In a letter addressed to the House of
Parliament, the king said: “His Majesty
desires that the contingency of his mar
riage should be taken into account so thatl
in that event, there should be provisian|
for her majesty the queen.” The reading
of the letter from the king caused sur
prise among members of ‘the House of
Parliament, who were engaged in the
prepartion of a budget which includes an
allowance for the maintenance of the
royal family in all its splendor and cus
toms of modern life, It is quite certain
that the budget will be so amended as to
provide sufficently, if not extravagantly,
for the whims and needs of the incoming
queen,
FLORIDA CANAL DEAD ISSUE
- 'The people of north Florida are greatlvl
disappointed over the failure of the fed-|
eral government to contniue its work of
cutting a canal across the state. An ap
{propriation of five million dollars was
‘'made for the project—work was com
‘menced and its completion was enthusi
!astically anticipated. However, before the‘
work had progressed to any great extent,
[the people of south Florida arose with a
' mighty hue and cry opposing the building
of the provosed canal. In fact, the feeling
' against the canal project grew to such
'tension that the people in the southern
part of the state threatened to secede and
organize a state as their own to be known
|as South Florida with the canal as the
, dividing line, g
| The objection of the south Florida peo
ple was carried to congress and to the
President of the United States. They
urged that the cutting of the canal be r_mt‘
' made and that work be discontinued im
| mediately. It was shown that five mllhoni
dollars would not scratch the surface on
’the project and that amount of monev
iwould be wasted. Besides it was argued
lthat the canal would not benefit the state
and that the project was nothing more
nor less than a money spending proposi
tion from which no beneficial returns
!would he realized. |
After a thorough investigation of the
| comnvlaints, President Roosevelt promisedl
to visit the scene of the mneh mooted
canal question and see for himself thel
merits and demerits in the claims of the
litigants, However, the visit was not to he
‘made until the latter part of this month,
‘hut in the meantime, it was found that
the building of the canal was nqt feasible,
‘at least, for the present, and the appro
priation for the scheme was withdrawn.
It is well that the government has call
ed off the proieet: it would have reauir
ed vears to comnlete an an expenditure
of millions of dollars. ; .

Joyous
Over Relief From
SYMPTOMS
Feb. 17, 1928, one year after first taking
Dr. Fugate’s Prescription, Mrs.: Lucy
Harvey, Springfield, lllinois, wrote:
“I am still feeling fine. I had Asthma
for 25 years and had used all kinds of
medicine and doctored with doctors, but
nothing helped me as much as your
medicine. All winter I felt fine. I sleep
all night, and go out in the cold any time
I want to, and it don’t hurt me. I doall
my own work. I get up in the morning
singing, where I used to get up cough
ing. Dr. Fugate’s Prescription is the
best asthma medicine I ever got hold of.
It is worth its weight in gold.”
Oct. 8, 1934, 7 years later, she wrote,
“I am still enjoying the good health I
received from your medicine.”
Those who suffer from bronchial
asthma symptoms should go to their
druggist today and buy the prescription
developed and used for years with un
usual success by Dr. Fugate~a treatment
that has brought relief to thousands.
