We cry out to him but there is no ans
wer. We send message after message
OF inquiry and bid him come back, but
no response. The Lord has done that
for every wandering child, for all IN
the wrecks of life. He has sent mess
engers to seek for them. Are you safe
IN the line of duty or are you merely
the wrecks of your former self?
Some boys were playing about cars.
One loosened the brakes for fun. He
meant to ston it presently, but 1t was
under Roadway, ne couldn't stop it, Sc
ne Jumped, but the cars rushed dowi
the grade, flew the track at an open
switch, rolled down an embankment and
were complete wreck.
Many boy, for fun. or thoughtless-
ly has loosened the brakes with fearful
consequences. 1t seemed a small thing
to give way to anger at first, but it
soon got beyond control and grew till in
the frenzy of rage he struck and killed
friend. If we could hear the wall
that goes up from prison cells, from
homeless prodigals. or heart broken
parents, it would be heartrendering.
Boys would wish they had never
loosened the brakes and parents in
agony would weep over lifeless bodies
of wanderers, because they had not
raised the danger signal nor done all
they could to save from ruin. IF |
only had known the value of my oppor-
tunities, | meyer would have abused
them" said a sensualist, whose wasted
life had been one long failure. Many
noble young man has thrown away
genius, strength and fortune for a few
evenings of merry making and today
has nothing to show but diseased body,
polluted mind and a desolate home.
Tears cannot blot out the record. Re-
morse can not restore what has been
forfeited, regret will not reverse the
wheels of time, nor bring back the
chances of former years. The Chinese
proverb SAYS, ''even the Gods can't
help man who loses an opportunity. )"
The poet says,
There is tide in the affairs of man,
Which. taken at flood leads on to
fortune,
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
lsbound in shadows. and in miseries. -
Maybe you are little astray, not far,
but you feel troubled. There is danger
ahead. In the name of Him who said,
Il will in no wise cast out him that
cometh to me, - l ask you to stop, you
can go as far as you wish in SIN, but the
end is death. You will not be compell-
ed to return, but know thow, that for
all these things God, will bring thee in
to judgment. We may be saved, but
we can't arrest the consequences of
sin. We may be forgiven and live
good and useful life, but the past is be-
yOnd recovery. Call halt, enter the
good old way and you shall find rest fo
your souls. You may in a measure r.
deem the past and win the crown o.
life.

portion of the direct responsibilities Of
government. Furthermore the ma
chinery of direct legislation on a wide
scale had not been invented, although a
very crude approximation of the idea
was embodied in the State Constitution
of Georgia. Today these conditions
have changed and the mass of the
i-eople are as wise on the average as
our legislators.
Some conception of truly democratic
government existed in Maryland even
IN the beginning. Our very term
General Assem- bly," meant at the time
of the formation of our Colonial govern
ment, the physical gathering together
of all the people, the theory of repre-
sentation coming into play quickly
however, because of the difficulty of
the people assembling together due to
their number, distances from the capital
and condition of roads.

are asked to adopt the Initiative, they

URGE FOOD PRODUCTION
Government Officials Say it Would As
sist In War.

Washington, March 27.-Govern-
ment officials look upon the speeding
up of the foodstuffs production in the
United States as one of the most i'm
portant means of assisting in the war
against Germany, should the United
States take an active part.
'Of the most important two things
that this country could do for its al
lies in case of war-namely to finance
and to feed them-perhaps the more
important is to maintain a steady flow
of foodstuffs to their shores" says an
authorized statement by Assistant
Secretary Vrooman of the department
of agriculture.
