do not see how you can go through an
other day and perform your tasks with
your present strength? Have you ever
wondered why you are left in poverty
and why all of your efforts to accumu-
late a competency seem to be failure?
Have you ever wondered why that son
or daughter was so provokingly persis-
tent in their determination to do wrong
and in their refusal to accept the gift
of salvation in Jesus Christ? Have you
ever wondered why the friend in whom
you trusted failed you so that you al
most lost confidence in everybody? Or
have you ever wondered why God let
that loved one leave you who seemed to
be so absolutely necessary to your hap
piness in life?
well, here is the reason: He wants
you to hear Him as He says, MY grace
is sufficient for thee" He wants to test
you and have you put him to the test
He wants to refine you as the silver and
gold Is refined. He wants to bring you
to the place whege you will have abso-
lutely no confidence in yourself but will
have the utmost confidence in him. Then
you will thank him for the poor health
and the poverty and the provoking per-
sisteney, and for your losses because
without them you could not have had
his grace, his all-sufficient grace. And
when you have experienced that YOU
have learned that that Is worth more
than everything else in all the world.

Haven't you often wished for a true
picture of your government? Not a
Democratic picture, not a Republican
picture, but an accurate, unprejudiced,
non-political picture of the government
of which you are part and partner?
That picture is now for the first time
put before the American people. Frederic
J. Haskin, in his book, THE American
Government" has set forth the story
Of the actual workings of the great gov
ernmental machine in a manner at once
so skillful and accurate as to win the
commentator of our greatest states
men, Republican and Democrat alike,
and which will quicken the pulse of ev-
cry American who reads it.
The lid of the White House is lit
orally lifted off that you may see your
presidents as though you lived with
them, what they are, what they do, how
they live.
The impenetrable dignity of the SUI
preme court is removed as if by magic
that you may see the inner workings of
the most powerful tribunal on earth.
You are carried to the ports and the
courts of the world to see the thousand
and one tentacles of your department IF
state. absorbing political and comment
cial information, often without your
knowledge, but always for your benefit.
You are shown how the weather bu-
reau is pulling down the secrets of the
upper air to aid the shippers of mer-
chandise, to safeguard those who travel
on the seas, and to give the farmers
warning and advice in the care of their
crops.
You are shown how the operations of
Uncle Sans health officials have so i'm

United States that during ten years the

task he has completed so successfully.

history of the country when the govern.

is today and mere has never been day

PLAYING THE SECOND FIDDL e
Positions In Life Very Much as Il 10
In the Orchestras That Are De-
signed to Amuses

When l was a lad, used to hear
the expression more frequently than
! do now, that aweertain man was
playing second fiddle" or that he
would not play second fiddle for any
man." or something Of that sort.
Playing second fiddle Is a curious
expression. Last night / attended
beautiful concert of our symphony Or
chestra. At the conductors left hand,
ststs the first violtnist. Grouped beside
and behind him are the rest of the
first violins. On the other side Of the
conductor sit the second violinists.
There were Just about as many OF
them, and they were called upon to
play what seemed to be Just as diff.
cult music. There were times when
the first violins were not playing at
all, and the melody was being carried
by the second yiolins, at other times,
the seconds were playing in unison
with the firsts; at still other times,
they were carrying their own part,
without which the first violins would
not have sounded like much.
And Is not that like life? People
that we call second fiddlers are part
OF the orchestra that makes life's
music. The more prominent people
are helpless without them; there are
times when they carry the real me-
lody. Who the nurse of Carlyle was
we do not know, but If there had not
been q nurse there would have been
no Carlyle. Washington's advisers
seldom come to our minds, but he
would have made dismal failures with
out them. Someone may be far more
visible in your society than you are,
but he cannot stay there unless you
and others like you do your own quiet
