THE WINNOWING PROCESS"
 SERMON BY DIR. EDMONDS

The Winnowing Process was the sub- ject of pr. Henry M Edmonds' Sunday morning sermon to the Independent Pres byterian congregation at Temple Emanu- El. There is in all life a process of win moving continually going on. were his opening remarks, after reading from the seventh chapter of Judges. and with this as a keynote, he delivered remarkably forceful sermon.
 "we begin life with every hope said pr. Edmonds in part, and one by one the dragons come out with their bland ishments, and we go down under their power. College records pathetically reveal how men drop out The period of a man s life between 10 and 45 discloses another example of the winnowing process. He feels that he has arrived or that he has not He may say, T had just as well quit or he may say, I'll now let the lamps of ambition smoke Then comes moral brakdowns. Too so many come 10 old age full of bitterness and evil talk Many give themselves to the amassing ot money And so all along there are dragons winnowing us out.
 BuI lniS IS HOl CIuel btl lilc PoAt VI God, who is dispensing our fates. We are free and sovereign souls. It is no cruel fate, but the power of choice. The definite, unacceptable tests are not set in motion merely to find out our proper stuff: they are not made to satisfy cu- riosity: they are not made that you and shall be discovered, but that you ani I, through suffering them, shall survive and be made gold.
 And after all. God seems to work through small. compact groups of human beings-not through the masses, It was Jesus way And these men and women who do life's work do not at the last say. By my own hard work and by my ingenuity and virtue did this; but those gracious characters who present coun- tenances reflecting Jesus say, I did thus and so by the Grace of God
 God moves through the small aristo- cracies that the broad democracfes shall know the truth. So it was in ancient Greece and Rome, when through few choice spirits he gave to the world the best in literature and the fine arts. So it is in the world today: a few men and women hold away from the city's throat the fingers of vengeance

BETWEEN YOU AND ME-"
 DIR. JAMES E. DILLARD

Before a large congregation, Dr, James E. billiard. pastor of the southside Zap tist Church, preached an interesting ser mon at the evening service last night Dr. billiard said. in part:
 We are not going to have any argu- ment tonight. We are going to talk just between ourselves about some things that we are perfectly agreed upon and then I trust. just between you and me. that you will act upon your best convictions of duty. The most of us know great deal better than we do, don't we? Here are some things we all know:
 We know we are in a dying world and we are not going to be here very long. We are careless and thoughtless: we act as though we were going to stay here forever; death finds most people un- ready.
 We knoy that without Christ we are nor ready to go. We may talk about our good works, about keeping the golden rule and all that. but we know we have not done anything that merits the ap- proval of God and gives the assurance of salvation If we were called to meet God tonight we would be hopeless with out Christ.
 ''we know that without Christ we are been made Jesus Christ tasted death for every man. He is able to save to the uttermost all that come to God through Nim.
 "We know what the conditions are Ex- cept ye repent ye shall all likewise per- ish-believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. These conditions are not likely to be changed The yare simple and reasonable There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.

"SLANG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE
Idiom Of Today in Correct Usage To-
morrow, Declares University Pro-
lessor Of English.

That the slang and idioms Of today
will be correct English tomorrow is
the opinion of Prof. H. GlIcksman of
the English department, University of
Wisconsin.
"Our language is made up Of what
was once slang, idiOm, colloquialism,
and jargOn," he said lately, and
warned that the most deplOrable fea-
ture about slang was it's tendency to
produce mental slOvenliness.
Professor Glicksman then referred
to the word "mob" as slang of 200
years ago and as such denounced in
the Spectator by Addison.
ut is an abbreviatiOn of the word
mobile. Even so the word pep is
vital and vlrile and will survive with
the word 'snappy.' But to gain recog-
milton slang must be free from vul-
garity and cheapness," said Professor
Glicksman..
''The term How do you get that
wayT is condemned because 1t is
meaningless, but the term he has a
pull is approved as 1t is the opposite
of push a word that has forged
ahead through it's own strength -

PoIand's lmmense coaI eede.

Figures recently compiled regarding
the coal resources of Poland indicate
that the Silesian-Po coal beds con-
tain approximately 1OO,OOOO 100000 tons
of coal, sufficient to last for 1900 years
at the rate of production which OBJ
tanned before the war
The favorable geological formation
Of the beds and the wealth Of their ex-
ploitable seams make Poland logical
source of supply for the balance of
Europe. With proper equipment, such
as that which has brought American
production to such enviable figures,
Poland would be able to do much to
relieve the fuel and power shortage
which is hampering the reconstruction
Of EurOpe's Industrial life. An added
factor which makes Poland's wealth
of coal Of increasing Importance is the
plenitude of labor which is available
at costs which are relatively one-fifth
that of similar labor In the United
States.

LOneIiest Woman In the World.

The lonellest woman in the world
has just passed away in Butte, Scotland,
at the age of seventy-six years. Thir-
ty years ago she travelled far into the
interior of Africa and by her practical
service to a tribe Of natives led them
skillfully to open a school for the edu-
cation of their children. For a great
er part Of the thirty years she was
the only European woman in the ter
ritory and she acknowledges that In
adapting herself to the food, customs
and climate she almost uncOnsciOusIy
de-EUrOpeanized her outlook. She.
only saw the world within her narrow
and weird sphere. In the rainy days
she grew very wearied. The native
friends who gathered round her would
divine her loneliness and in many ways
they tried to break the monOtOny, all
of which endeared her black people to
herself. Once, she determined to take
a trip to Europe and made prepare
tions accordingly, only to find that If
she carried out her intention the tribe
would lapse back to it's fetishes. She
determined to remain till she felt as
sured that they could be trusted to
carry on their education without her
aid. She finished her work, and there
will be long period of mourning for
the "White Face with a Heart like the
Sun"
