Eleanor Roosevelt
a uprv delightful day started, for
ktf an” hour, with Mrs. Archibald
facLeish singing us charming
inch and German songs. Then
hole group began to sing them
her While they have not done
Ph singing as a group, I found
S h show g ed g Signs of getting to
her and really enjoying it. We
-e several young people with
very nice voices and several who
w the piano.
P nr and Mrs. David Levy lunched
Ji’us and after lunch we went
h ck to join the students and listen
, Mr MacLeish, who read a com
mencement address which he deliv
ld this spring, and his poem:
''America Was Promises.” To hear
h . m r ead, either prose or poetry, is
n unforgettable experience. It was
o beautiful that I think that every
ne present felt that, in applauding,
JL w ere breaking a spell of beauty
which had been cast about them.
At about 3:30 Mr, and Mrs. Mac
teish left and then I listened to a
discussion between Justice Frank
furter and some of the students on
the need for political organizations.
To my joy, when we returned to
our own house, I found that our son,
Jimmy, and his wife had arrived.
Soon after, Mrs. Henry Morgenthau
jr. came, having flown up from
New York city under somewhat un
certain weather conditions. The fog
here was thick until about five
o'clock, when it suddenly began to
clear and the setting sun shone
through a rift in the clouds on the
water, making the mouth of the
river look like a pool of gold.
One evening, I read aloud some
selections of rather lighter poetry,
ending up with one serious group
from “John Brown’s Body,” by
Stephen Vincent Benet, after which
the students began to ask for poems
which were special favorites. I was
interested to find how many young
people read poetry for pleasure.
One of them asked me to bring
some poems by Langston Hughes,
another would like me to read
Hood’s “The Song of the Shirt.”

BOSTON STOP
As soon as I reached Boston one
day, I was greeted by Johnny and
Anne. We had a very satisfactory
visit and were joined a little later
by Franklin Jr. I telephoned my
husband and we spent some little
time catching up on news of all the
different members of the family.
He had Ruth and her two children
in the White House and I wished I
could be in two places at once, for
1 would love to see her and Chan
dler and Elliott Jr.
All too soon, the message came
that Professor Zimmerman was
waiting for me downstairs and Mrs.
Morgenthau, Miss Thompson and I
went out with him to Cambridge.
There we had a delightful dinner at
the Faculty club and I enjoyed talk
ing to my two neighbors, Mr.
Jerome Green and Mr. Mather. At
8:00, we went over to the evening
seession of the Institute on the Chil
dren of Tomorrow. This was the
first of three days of meetings. It
seems to be a very well-attended
institute. They told me there was
probably some one from every state
in the Union present.
After speaking, I had a short talk
with the reporters and then came
hack to the Statler hotel, where I
spent some time discussing their in
terests with a group of students,
who are planning to go to South
America. They have two months
at Harvard under the direction of
Mr Louis Quintavilla and then, I
believe, six weeks to two months in
Mexico.

THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE
PURKEY
Dear Ma;
I got your letter about not yelling
at anybody on no golf coarses and
please do not worry as I am always
a gentleman espeshully since that
Tenersee division was maid to do a
15 mile hike aH over again for yell
ing yoo hoo at half dressed women
and male golfers lookir g for lost
balls. From now on I go strictly on
the idea that anybody I see in open
lots may be a general for all I know.
* * *
Personally I wood not poke no fun
at a general on a golf coarse any
how on account of I like to see them
there. The farther a general is from
the camp the less times I get in
spected. This is a war of decep
tion, ma, and where can a general
find more deception than on a golf
linx? It is also a war of movement
and you don’t know what move
ments are until you see a middle
aged duffer going into his golf swing.
* * •
Generals need exercise like any
body else but if he is seen walking
on a highway he loses face. The
only place he can be seen hiking
five or ten miles a day without be
ing disgraced is on a golf coarse so
I don’t see no sense criticizing Gen
eral Lear for being on one that day.
• • *
The outfit I am with is very good
mannered and wood not yell at no
golfers in a ungentlemanly manner.
A couple of weeks ago we was pass
ing a linx and Otto Bixby yelled at
a duffer but he was so deep in a
trap he could hear no voices unless
they were from China. There was
a few women players in shorts and
at first I thought they was fugitives
from ladies’ day in a turkish bath.
We paid no attention to them, not
even one yoo hoo and the ladies
seemed soarer than if we had paid
some notiss to ’em. Women may
get soar if soldiers yell at them but
they mind it worse if they snub ’em.
• • ♦
There was a very pompous looking
man looking for a lost ball near the
highway witch we marched on and
one of the boys made some re
marks like “Looking for something,
mister?” and “Did you try under
the bureau?” He did not think much
of it then but ever since reading
about the General Lear incident he
has been scared stiff for fear the man
was a officer and got his descrip
tion.
. . •
Personally I think General Lear is
getting worse punishment than his
troops and I bet he wishes he never
played golf in his life. I think peo
ple are rubbing it in. Dissipline is
dissipline in a army and most of the
boys here do not think a army
should give Bronx cheers to nobody
on the line of march and espeshully
not to ladies no matter if they wear
shorts or whoopskirts. This is a
all out war but we should not be all
out of manners.
* * •
We don’t even wave at nobody no
more becuz for all we know it might
turn out to be Secretary Stimson
or Mrs. Roosevelt. The Lear thing
maid the army awful careful. But
I hope the people let up on General
Lear becuz I hear he had plenty of
excuse for being upset. I hear he
was nine strokes on a par four hole
and still 125 yards from the green
when the soldiers yoo hooed. And
not only that but he had gave his
opponent a stroke a hole. Anything
wood’ve made him soar.

Well so much for that. I got the

Strange Petfellows
IS early everybody, with a fmv exceptions , likes a dog or a cat of their
own. Others favor canaries or guppies or goldfish. Then there are still
others who go in for the most unusual pets, and it is with these that the
following series of photos deals. The animals and birds here shown are
not out of the ordinary. All are natives of the United States, with the
exception of the leopard. However, it is distinctly unusual to find them
in pet roles.
Meet Pete . . . Everyone in Barnegat, N. J., hnoivs Pete, the pet of

of Chicago. I

PAUL PREACHES FAITH
IN CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—Romans 3:21-31; 5:1, 2,
GOLDEN TEXT—As It is written. The just
shall live by faith.—Romans 1:17.
Justification by faith is a doctrine
which lies at the very heart of the
gospel. It provides the answer to
man’s age-old question, “What must
I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30).
‘‘This was a question with which
Paul had himself grappled, and for
] years he had sought salvation in
I the traditional Jewish way. Then
: one day he met Christ and he under
went a spiritual transformation
through faith in Him, apart from the
works of the law. Because of that
experience, and because of the
divine revelations made to him, he
was able to show others how to be
saved and how to live a life of vic
tory. Among the writers of the New
Testament it is Paul who most
i clearly sets forth the doctrine of
j justification by faith, a doctrine
| which has brought comfort of soul
!to multitudes, and the conscious
ness of sins forgiven.” (Olmstead).
I. How Can God Rc Just and
Justify Sinners? (Rom. 3:21-31).
The portion of Romans just pre
ceding our lesson is devoted to a
devastating treatment of man’s sin
fulness, bringing him face to face
with the question, “What can I do
about it?” The answer has a hope
less ring to it.
1. Man has no righteousness of
his own, and cannot by any of his
own works save himself. “Fie has
tried many ways, in every age, but
no human being, or groups of men
or women, have ever devised any
scheme, have ever conceived of any
ritual, have ever established any re
ligion by their own efforts, through
which peace with God has been
found and a sinner has been en
abled to stand before a holy God
without condemnation. Man being
helpless, God now intervenes” (Wil
bur M. Smith).
2. Christ paid the penalty for
man’s sin by His own blood. How
clearly verse 25 declares the sacri
ficial death of Christ to provide a
covering of blood (the real meaning
of “propitiation”) which will enable
a just God to forgive the sinner that
believes in Christ (v. 22). Why not
receive it in all its grace and power,
not trying to explain it away or to
evade its requirements? Why at
tempt to provide some other means
of salvation when we know that
“without the shedding of blood is
no remission” of sin (Heb. 9:22)?
3. Man receives salvation by
j grace through faith, apart from
works. Man can only be “justified
freely by his grace” (v. 24). It is
for “them that believe” (v. 22), it is
“through faith” (vv. 25, 26) and,
note with care, “man is justified by
faith apart from the works of the
law” (v. 28). Thus God establishes
the law (v. 31) and yet becomes the
righteous justifier of a repentant be
lieving sinner.
11. What Happens When a Man Is
Justified? (Rom. 5:1, 2).
These verses sound like the uplift
ing music of a mighty organ, with
the celestial choirs joining in to sing.
“Therefore being justified by faith,
we have” What? Oh many pre
cious possessions, three of which
are here mentioned.
1. “Peace With God.”
“Through our Lord Jesus Christ”
the barrier of sin with all its mali
: cious enmity has been broken down
and the believer is at peace with
God. What could be more wonder
ful than thus to be really “in tune
with the Infinite”? That is some
thing, by the way, which can only
be true of the believer, one who has
both peace with God and the peace
of God flooding his soul. Every sin
, ner who covets that experience may
have it—now—by faith in Christ.
2. Standing in Grace
“To stand in grace is to occupy
the position wherein love is able to
carry out its desires. To stand in
grace is to come into such relation
ship with the Lord that He may do
that thing that is in His heart, the
thing which His love prompts. To
stand in favor is to be unafraid. It is
to be able to pass into the presence
j of One of whom we are unafraid, and
know that there will he welcome. It
is to know that to come into the pres
j ence of this One is to receive, not
necessarily a gift, but love, and of
Himself, in a communion which is
unbroken and perfect” (G. Campbell
Morgan).
3. Rejoicing in Hope.
The world is sorrowful for it has
lost hope, but the believer rejoices
I “in hope of the glory of God” (v.
i 2). The Christian has the forward
look. His future is as bright as the
promises of God. He knows that he
will one day see the glory of God
revealed in all His holiness, power,
love and grace. Even now the be
liever has that hope in his heart,
and lives a rejoicing life (or should
do so!). It’s a great thing to be
saved!

in the South has rapidly increased
year after year. During the fall of
1040 the Southern shipments of
NITRAGIN were for more than 45
million pounds of VETCH and WIN
