“Murder Will Out”
I he old, old saying above has again demolishated
its truth. The mystery of the brutal slaying of Mr. and
Mrs. John E. Trainer has at last been solved,
Two negroes have been arrested and one of them
has confessed the part the duo had in the brutal murder.
Covington citizens will breathe more freely now that this
murderous pair is under arrest.
While the local officers worked fatihfull upon the
case ever since the murder, the credit for the arrest of
*» ChW Daly of the DeKalb County
police force.
He, in with _ another officer anested the
company which
pair in Atlanta. This is not the first baffling case
Chief Daly has solved. His fame as a detective of the’
first water is well known throughout the United States.
We wish to add our congratulations to the ones he
is receiving on every hand. It was a splendid piece of
work and we take our hats off to him for the efficient
manner in which he has handled the case.
That he hns had the unflagging co-operation of the
local officers was of great assistance to him in solving this
baffling murder. All gave their best efforts at all times. j
i
It is strange how a man’s religion will lead him to
support any cause that promises him a big profit.
Floating Mines Dangerous to All Shipping !
The incredible destruction of shipping, principally
Allied and neutral, which has taken place in the early
months of the war, has military observers all over the
world scratching their heads. No one, apparently,
thought sinkings would reach such a total. Today the
mine and the U-Boat, apparently, rather than the air
plane and the tank and the cannon, are the most effective j
instruments of warfare.
Of the two, the mine has proven by far the most
effective—U-Boat sinkings are now far in the
The German surprise technique of releasing mines from
submarines, and smaller, parachute-equipped mines from
airplanes, has proven extraordinarily successful. It is
obviously in violation of international law. But it takes
a strong idealist today to believe that a blockaded nation
fighting for exisence is going to pay more than lip service
to that code.
* The rumor that the Germans have perfected
magnetic magnetic device device which v\ men attracts attracts mines mines to to snips shins oassinc passing bv nj
some distance away, is discounted 100 per cent by Amer
lean scientists, for various reasons. Far more likely is
the assumption that the seas have been literally strewn
with free mines, which makes a knowledge of planned
mine fields next to useless to ships.
In addition, it is believed British mines have broken
loose during storms from their fields and are also floating
about freely, a hidden menace to all shipping.
How to clear the seas when the war is over seems to
be a potential problem that no one has yet been able to
answer.
Who of us can remember when about the only thing
people had to throw up their hands in horror over was
the short skirt.
A Significant Award
The Nobel Prize situation this year attracted an
usual amount of attention because ' there was V no ^ npace
prize awarded. j i rp That, 1 of r course, was only i natural, i since •
war was blazing all around the prize-giving country.
Interest in the peace prize story, however, unfortu
nately distracted attention from the other prizes. One
these pointed a very interesing moral.
The award in question went to Professor Gerhard
Domagk for bis discovery of a cure for pneumonia, men
ingitis, and a number of man’s most “difficult” diseases,
And there was one particularly interesting fact about
situation which \\as more or 1 less lost in the shuffle. It
was the fact that the award was made to a man who con
ducted HnrteH ms his researches, researches not nnl with with the the aid aid of ot some some unneisitj universitv
° r h0 4 ?u al : b ,ut with the aid Of industry.
\\ hv is tills lmpoitant.
The answer is not obscure. The important part is
the fact that the award recognizes a trend of the times:
that in those nations which have advanced farthest to
wards better living, industry has taken the lead in pro
moting industrial research.
Because America has far and away led all the other
countries of the world in this respect, and because it is
prepared today to achieve further peacetime progress in
the same direction, it is only natural that the Nobel Prize
award to a leader of industrial research should have sig
nificance for all Americans.
Life is short at best and the one who fills it with
scraps and growls has only half a life to spend.
Improvement
c. Some fifty or sixty years ago, it was suggested . , , by
man who believed that all of the great discoveries and
inventions had been made, that the United States Patent
Office should be closed. We all know how mistaken he
was. Since then the telephone, the automobile, the radio
have been developed and television is on the way.
2,000.000 patents have been issued since that time.
Sometimes we feel that something quite near per
fection has been reached in the things we use and come
in contact with each day. But there is always a better
way. Everything can be improved. Consequently, it’s a
gn'K 1 idea to look at one’s own job frequently to see what
can be done to improve the way of doing it.

REACTIONS TO THE GOOD
NEWS.
Lpsson: Matthew 11 and 12.
Golden Text: Come unto me, all
ye that labor and are heavy
and I wiii give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart;
and ye shall find rest unto your:
souls. For my yoke is easy, and my |
burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30.
John the Baptist was in prison His |
confinement in a dreary cell on the i
shores of the Dead Sea
produced within him an unwhole- [
some and doubting state of mind,
Furthermore, the news he heard of:
Jesus’ ministry was not entirely re
assuring. He had proclaimed Jesus
as the Messiah, who would chop
down everything that was wicked
burn up the chaff of men's
f00lish thinking and acting. Many
months after his ministry began
Jesus was only preaching, teaching,
and healing.
so in his doubt he sent disciples
t0 JesUs and their query was, ‘Art
be that sbould come ’ or look
we or another ‘
had heard and seen-. “The blind re
ce j Ve their sight, the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up, and the poor
have good tidings preached to
them."
When the messengers went away,
Jesus gave to the multitude his es
timate of John the Baptist. It was
the Master's warm vindication of his
best friend.
Probably the rumor had got about
through the crowd that John was
beginning to lose his courage; pris
on life was getting on his nerves.
Jesus swept this aside by asking the
multitude what they went out into
the wilderness to see—"a reed shak
en with the wind’’?
Jesus loved John the Baptist and
admired him. so much that he de
clared no man bom of woman had
ever been his equal. Yet, he said, he
wh0 js just inside th# kins , dom of
God the , east m this new orde r of
spiritual life and power, is greater
than John,
John and his associates wanted to
bring in the kingdom of heaven with
violence; Jesus knew it must b
in as the result of conviction
and light.
This was the fundamental differ
ence between the old order and the
new ' and Jesus commanded those

He meant they were childish, and
there il a world of difference be
tween these two things.
Just as nothing suits tired, petu
lant children, said Jesus, nothing
suits this jaded and complaining
generation. John came neither eat
ing nor drinkin s. and that pleased
th I m so n tlle thal j, hey aa ’ d he had
a demon. Later T the Son of Man cam
eating and drinking and movin-
| about among his associates in a nor
mal, wholesome fashion. But the
I critics were not satisfied. Jesus, they
I said, was too worldly, as John had
been too unworldly. Furthermore, he
was not at all discriminating about
his friends, choosing publicans and
sinners instead of scribes and Phar
! isees.

Ministers hear such excuses con

Then Jesus began to upbraid the
cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they re
pented not- “Woe unto thee, Chora-
7ini woe unt0 thee ' Bethsaidar

most significant of spiritual princi

contempt or indifference to the
Lord of Life and had seen his divene
wotks to no avail.
In the final judgment, our destiny
will depend upon the way we have
taken advantage of the opportunities
God has given us. If we have re
ceived much, much will be expected
| of us; if we have received little lit-

tie we will be judged on the basis
of the little we have received.
But in the midst of this worldli
ness Jesus could still give thanks- He
did not give thanks for the worldii
ness, of course, but, surrounded by
its devastating influence on every
side, he thanked God that the light'
of divine truth could not be extmg
uished.
First, he rendered thanks because 1
of wa y God revealed his truth.
He hid it from the so-called "wise
and understanding.’ These were the
scribes and Pharisees whose dead
orthodoxy and pride and worldly
wisdom made them blind to the
'iuht. God had provided that to the
humble He would reveal his truth,
because they alone were teachable,
Here is another spiritual principle:
We enter the kingdom of God
through the door of humility.
And this is a spiritual principle
because God wills it to be so. It is
well pleasing In God’s sight. Then
Jesus went, on to speak of his own
nature. God has delivered all things
into his hands. There is a reason
for this. Jesus from all eternity had
lived in close fellowship with the
Father, and in the flesh he carried
out the Father's will. Because of this
intimate relationship from the be
ginning, Jesus knew the Father as
no other being in the universe could,
and the full significance of Jesus’
person was, of course, known only
to God.
Because of his great power, Jesus
invites humanity to come and find
perfect satisfaction in him. The in
vitation is extended to everyone:
"Come unto me, ALL ye ... ” The
attempts that have been made to
show that God is interested only in
a certain select group fall to the
ground.
The testimony of scripture is that
Ood accepts through Jesus Christ
anyone and everyone who meets the
spiritual requirements involved in
coming to Him. God is no respecter
of persons.
It is part of a universe, morally
sound and mentally logical, that
those who come to God are received,
and those who do not, regardless of
their station in life, are not received.
From where he stood, Jesus prob
ably could look out over the land

I But the invitation to those "that

CO t,rse not confined t 0 those who la
bor physically He was thinkin _ of
lthp multitudes who ’ in everv age
carry heavy burdens
To them he promises rest. He said
i't to the multitude of his own day
and he says it to the sinning. sor
rowful world right now — to thosf
who bear the burden of guilt and
sin, to those who have sorrows that
weigh them down, to those who bear
''® s P onsd » llt >es apparently beyond
their powers, to those whose lives
are drab and colorless, to those who
doubt, to those who know the
of passions over which they seem to 1
have no control, to those who have
striven valiantly for
and seem to have failed,
All power with which to surmoun
difficulty and rest from its burden
is found completely in the person ol
our Lord.
There „ has , never been , such a glad
and welcome invitation sent out to

Jesus, if men would only take him
at his word,’night would be turned
into dawning and weeping into
praise.

Now Jesus came with a new yoke
which was easy, and with a burden
which was light. Because he was
meek and low] y in heart, the meek
and low| y 01 every generation, the
ienoeant and the outcast, would find
in bim a kindred spirit- He was the

His yoke is complete and childlike

we take it upon our hearts and
minds, the requirements of the 1
Christian life become a joy and the j
bearing of even the heaviest burdens
is made possible.

"Righteousness exalteth a nation ”
That is what God's Book says. A na
tion is not exalted by conquest, by
armies and navies. It is exalted by
righteousness. The destructive pow
er of sin is more powerful than the
destructive power of bombs that are
dropped from planes or torpedoes
discharged from submarines. Sin
